Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods new at Lincoln County 

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (Feb. 28) – The numbers added up for Lincoln County Raceway to run IMCA sanctioned Karl Chevro­let Northern SportMods beginning this season. 

The first Saturday night show at North Platte is May 1. The division also joins Friday programs at McCook Speedway and Sunday cards at Dawson County Raceway in Lexington. 

“A number of drivers have talked about getting into this class, either moving up from another division or down from a Modified because it was more affordable for them,” promoter Ed Milne said. “We’re within a radius of about 60 miles of McCook and Lexington and all three tracks try to work together.” 

“With all three tracks sanctioning the class, it gives drivers chasing national and rookie of the year points more nights to race,” he added. 

IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars and IMCA Hobby Stocks return to weekly programs at all three venues. 

The three tracks also combine resources to stage Burger King-sponsored 9-for-9 Challenge, with more than $2,500 in bonuses to be paid out this season to registered Modified drivers. 

Registration fee is $25 and drivers must compete in at least eight of the nine designated races, three each at McCook, North Platte and Lexington, to be eligible. The 9-for-9 bonuses are paid out for a different division every year. 

Lincoln County is part of IMCA’s ButlerBuilt Central Region for Modifieds and Probe Industries Northern Regions for Stock Cars and Hobby Stocks. 

Point races at North Platte continue through Aug. 21. The 9-on-9 Challenge finale is also on the championship night show.
