One of the highlights of Sioux Cities racing season comes Monday, July 1st as the 6th annual J&J Fitting Iron Cup comes to Park Jefferson. The IMCA Iron Cup event will feature over $25,000 in purses in what is the largest single payday in Park Jefferson history be distributed across the six IMCA Classes. All divisions will be running for the huge purses and the chance to stand in victory lane with the coveted Iron Cup trophy. This year’s event is unique in that it is anchoring the first ever Midwest Madness tour, which will see drivers in the IMCA Modifieds and IMCA Stock Cars racing 7 nights in a row. Joining them as headliners will be the first ever visit of the Sprint Series of Nebraska, which will bring IMCA RACESaver Sprint Cars from across the area to battle at Park Jefferson. The IMCA Sport Modifieds, Hobby Stocks and Sport Compacts all will be racing for larger purses as well as the Iron Cup Championship. All divisions will feature the IMCA Draw/Redraw Format and will award state, regional and national IMCA points. Full purses can be found at http://www.parkjeff.com/downloads/get.aspx?i=528717.

Gates open Monday at 5pm with hot laps at 6:30 and racing to follow hot laps. We do anticipate a larger than normal field of cars so heat races will not begin until all cars are given an opportunity to hot lap.
