Rapid Speedway will be having the Andy Gabrielson Memorial this Friday, Aug. 17, with $1,000 to win and $120 to start the USRA Stock Car main event.

USRA B-Mod racers Tyler and Tracy Johnson, along with several other drivers in all divisions, will have their cars decked out in pink for this weekend’s 6th Annual ‘Pink My Ride.’

Racing at the Rapid Speedway on Friday nights and Nobles County Speedway on Sundays, Dan Strandberg finished second in points at both tracks but combined his efforts to become the 2011 USRA Hobby Stock National Champion.

The 2011 Rapid Speedway Championship Banquet held last Saturday, Nov. 5, at the Grand Falls Casino Resort and was a huge success with over 100 more attendees from the 2010 banquet.

Six events are in the books for the Iron Man Challenge featuring USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars and USRA Karl Performance Parts B-Mods, with 10 different winners emerging from 11 feature races so far.

Mother Nature finally threw the Iron Man Challenge fans a bone Friday night and the drivers in the USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars and USRA Karl Performance Parts B-Mods delivered a rock solid show at the Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, Iowa.

The grind for the Iron Man Challenge title resumes this Thursday, June 23, at the Park Jefferson Speedway in Jefferson, S.D., and then rolls into Rock Rapids, Iowa, on Friday night, June 24, at the Rapid Speedway.

Seventeen dates at eleven dirt ovals comprise the 2011 schedule for the second season of the Iron Man Challenge for USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars and USRA Karl Performance Parts B-Mods.

In what may be a first in organized racing, three of the four drivers that captured the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series titles in 2007 repeated the feat in 2008. Brad Waits captured his second straight USRA Modified crown, while the same can be said for Tom Schmitt (USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars) and Matt Jones (USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mods). Jason McDaniel (USRA Hobby Stocks) won his first title after finishing second last year.
