Major races edit

The IMCA championships are held annually at the IMCA Super Nationals at Boone Speedway in Boone, Iowa. Another major race is the Harris Clash held at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minnesota which was developed as a race with somewhat of an emphasis on chassis manufacturers. The IMCA Super Nationals is the biggest event held by IMCA. It happens once a year during the first week of September. This event has the most IMCA drivers in one event.

History edit

The 1963 and 1964 IMCA champion, Dick Hutcherson, was not eligible for the 1965 NASCAR Grand National Series Rookie of the Year, which he won nine times and finished second in the standings; it was given to Sam McQuagg. NASCAR's rookie standards have since changed to being based only on the NASCAR Cup Series.

In 1979, IMCA held its first IMCA Modified race at the Benton County, Iowa Speedway.[1]
