IRA Interstate Racing Association
2023 Early Season Preview!!!
Lots of good things are in store in 2023 for both fans and competitors of the
Bumper To Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series. A schedule loaded with both
traditional events, plus some new ones too, has everyone excited.
Co-sanctions are always ultra-competitive and we have several this year. The All
Stars make two trips to Wisconsin this year with events at Wilmot, their first ever
at Dodge County, and the big $26,000 to win Rayce Rudeen Foundation race at
Plymouth. Plymouth will be the first track to ever host more than one Rayce
Rudeen event! Co-sanctions with our friends at MOWA are on tap with traditional
events like our 34 Raceway opener, and the Bill Waite Jr Memorial Fairbury
appearing again, plus IRA will add a new state, its’ 10 th overall in IRA history with a
co-sanctioned event with MOWA at the famed Federated Auto Parts I-55
Raceway in Pevely, MO. After a hugely successful trip to River Cities Speedway in
Grand Forks, ND last year for a co-sanctioned doubleheader with NOSA, we’re
heading back for the 2 nd annual Buffalo Wild Wings “King of the Wing” and we’ve
added a date at I-94 Speedway in Fergus Falls, MN on the way.
Fans are definitely in for a treat as they will see the familiar names of the IRA
stars, plus several teams from past years, and a fleet of new teams that have
indicated they plan on running a large chunk of the schedule. Based on the
numerous conversations we’ve had with teams throughout the region, this could
very well be the most competitive season in IRA’s long history. Gonna be great
championship and rookie battles. We’re really excited, REALLY REALLY!
We have a few TBA dates still on our schedule, but we’re in the final stages of
finalizing those couple dates. Teams should be excited as several events will be
paying more too. And the Hopf Farms Bullring Showdown is back again too.
We’ve added some sponsors and continue to look for more, both as associate
series, nightly, and event sponsors as we have LOTS to offer a potential sponsor.
And everyone will be thrilled with what should be enhanced FLO broadcasts as
we’ve made significant investments in additional equipment, and we’ve got an
energized staff.

Sprint Series and check out our full schedule at irasprints.com
