BOONE, Iowa — A dozen championship-winning modified drivers will battle side-by-side in the Harris Auto Racing Race of Champions at Boone Speedway during the upcoming IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s.
Harris, the Boone chassis builder, has been title sponsor of the event for 16 years and provides a portion of the purse for the $1,000-to-win race on Saturday, Sept. 10.
Qualifying for the 12-car, 12-lap race will take place on Thursday, Sept. 8, and is open to top drivers in local track standings competing at Super Nationals, as well as this year’s track champions; former national, regional and Super Nationals champions; and previous race winners.
There are 216 different drivers from 26 states and Canada who have competed in the Modified Race of Champions since it became part of Super Nationals in 1989.
Harris is now in its 27th season of IMCA sponsorship, owned by IMCA modified driver Kyle Brown.
“We have a saying in our showroom, Behind These Walls…Champions are Built, and a lot of those champions were crowned in our backyard at the IMCA Super Nationals,” Brown said. “It only makes sense for us to title sponsor the champions race with our history and involvement with IMCA and Boone Speedway.”
“I can’t say enough about what Harris Auto Racing adds to Super Nationals and to our Modified division with their support of this event,” stated Carson Becker-Gramm, marketing integration and sponsorship director for IMCA. “Harris has become synonymous with the Race of Champions and rightfully so.”
