RPM Speedway
The Inaugural IMCA Stock Car ShootOut, “Goin’ Back to the Wild West” will be Tuesday and Wednesday, May 28 and 29 at Rolling Plains Motor Speedway, Hays.
The ShootOut offers not only $5,000 to the winner, but many contingency prizes and awards for the stock car drivers.
The legendary RPM Speedway staff has been hard at work to ensure the Inaugural IMCA Stock Car ShootOut presented by 1st Class Chassis Race Cars, Hoisington, is the biggest paying prize money and contingency event the Great Plains has ever seen.
The IMCA Stock Cars are one of the most competitive classes right now and put on three- and four-wide racing on any given night and the speedway wants to showcase that here in Hays.
Race fans will see the top national, regional, state and local stock car drivers, including Mike Nichols, Harland, Iowa, an eight- time National Stock Car Champion that has over 700 career wins in nine states and one Canadian province. Currently drivers from nine states, including Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Utah, Wisconsin plus our Sunflower State racers are registered for this special event.
A unique qualifying procedure will be used for the IMCA stock cars. Drivers will draw for their starting spots on Tuesday for one of two heat races they will compete in. Drivers will earn passing points that qualify for Wednesday night’s line ups. The second heat race will be a complete invert of their first heat race.
Night two will see last-chance heats along with one last-chance feature, qualifying them for the 24-car minimum $400 to start A- main event.
IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks and Karl Kustoms Northern SportMods race for $500 to win both nights.
Pits open at 3 p.m., the grandstand opens at 5 p.m. and racing starts at 7 p.m. both days. Grandstand admission is $15 for adults and free for kids 12 and younger thanks to Heim Body Shop of Hoxie, while pit passes are $30 or $10 for kids 12 and younger with a parent or guardian.
Unable to make it trackside, this special event will be broadcasted live on SpeedShift TV as part of their monthly $40 subscription.
