Francis who is second in points in the Xtreme DirtCar Series behind current point leader Scott Bloomquest is looking to take the lions share of the $10,000.

The July 31st race on the big half-mile track will certainly be filled with action as the Late Models will be able to race two- and three-wide completely around the famed fairgrounds track.

Fans are encouraged to bring the barbecue grills and enjoy the Iowa sun with the "Party Pass" that allows the fans to cookout and visit the pit area for one low price.
