IRA - Interstate Racing Association Outlaw Sprints
The Interstate Racing Association commonly known as the Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series is a regional winged/410 Outlaw Sprint Car sanctioning body. IRA was founded in the mid 1960's and competed in their early years as winged Super Modifieds. The term Interstate Racing Association came from the fact that the racers hailed from southeast Wisconsin and Northern Illinois and the fact the tracks they competed at, such as Wilmot and the Waukegan Speedway were just over the border from each other off the I-94 corridor.
The group eventually converted to Sprint Cars in the mid 70's. Wilmot Speedway was the home of Saturday night Sprint Car racing for many a year. Car counts were huge! In 1993, the IRA chose to hit the road with more frequency and competed at several other venues and ventured far. IRA became a full blown regional traveling series. The IRA is one of the country's premier regional 410 sanctions.

- Plymouth top 10 highlights Austin Hartmann's IRA doubleheader weekend
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 24, 2023 - The first of six scheduled "home games" for the Plymouth, Wis.-based Austin Hartmann - 87A Hartmann Racing team at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. proved to provide one of the team's best overall efforts of the young 2023 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series season Saturday, May 20. Hartmann opened the program by qualifying ninth in the 31-car field with a lap of 12.140 seconds around the third-mile clay oval. After rolling off second in the third eight-lap IRA heat race, Hartmann earned a third place finish to earn a spot in the IRA dash field used set the top 10 spots in the A main. The fourth-year Sprint Car driver started fourth and placed fifth in the first four-lap IRA dash to earn the ninth starting spot in the 30-lap Frank Filskov Memorial IRA A main. The Plymouth, Wis. competitor settled into ninth place in the early going of the main event before a spin involving Josh Schneiderman brought out a caution flag on lap 5. Following the restart, Blake Nimee worked the high groove to briefly move around the low riding Hartmann on lap 8. However, Hartmann battled back to regain ninth in the running order on lap 12. Following the second caution flag of the race on lap 13 for a two-car incident involving Tyler Tischendorf and Ion Stear, Hartmann worked his way past Mike Reinke in turn three to assume eighth on lap 14. The 2020 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association Rookie of the Year Award recipient held on over the final 16 laps to finish eighth and earn his second top-10 A-main showing of the 2023 season. "Plymouth went very well, I'd say," Hartmann said. "The car felt fast and comfortable all night long no matter what we did to it. We also got good notes for our next visit." One night later at Angell Park Speedway, Hartmann began the evening by qualifying 10th in the 27-car IRA field with a lap of 12.260 seconds. After starting on the pole of the first eight-lap IRA heat race, Hartmann placed second to gain a spot in the 30-lap headliner. Hartmann rolled off 11th in the 30-lap IRA headliner and dueled for the 12th and 13th positions through the majority of the race on a fast and undulating track surface until the second of two caution flags flew on lap 25 for the slowing car of Jake Blackhurst. Over the final five laps, Hartmann fell back several spots with an ill-handling car on the way to a 17th place finish in a race won by Bill Balog. "We had a good night at Angell Park as well," Hartmann said. "The car felt pretty planted all night, considering the track conditions. The wing slider seal gave out on the last caution of the feature, which allowed the wing to slide forward and back on its own. That made the car essentially unable to be driven properly on that tricky track surface." Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartman Racing team are now gearing up for another doubleheader weekend with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series starting with the team's third appearance of the season at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 27 with the Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars and Badger Midgets also on the all-open wheel card. Pit gates open at 3 p.m. with spectator gates opening at 5 p.m. and hot laps at 6 p.m. On Sunday, May 28, the team will travel north for an IRA 410 Sprint Car Series event at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis., which will also include IRA Lightning Sprints, Sport Compacts and Legends. Pit and spectator gates open at 3 p.m. with racing starting at 6 p.m. "I'm very excited for this upcoming weekend," Hartmann said. "I am enjoying the doubleheader weekends. I would like to say 'thank you' to everyone who makes this car go around the track. It's not just me behind the wheel. I couldn't do it without our partners on the car, as well as my family and crew."

- Arenz rebounds with top-10 IRA showing at Angell Park, after Plymouth disappointment
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 24, 2023 - Just 24 hours after enduring a difficult homecoming at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 20, Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series rookie contender Travis Arenz of Sheboygan Falls, Wis. turned the tide by tallying a solid top-10 finish in A-main competition at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. on Sunday, May 21. The IRA doubleheader weekend kicked off with Arenz's highly anticipated return to The Plymouth Dirt Track where he has enjoyed the majority of his success in his career, including racking up a total of three track championships in the Outlaw Compact 4-cylinder and 360 Sprint Car divisions. However, the evening proved to be forgettable as Arenz's encountered a flurry of mechanical and on-track issues in both 410 and 360 Sprint Car competition. The night got off to a sour note when motor issues arose on Arenz's machine in IRA 410 Sprint Car Series hot laps. After missing IRA qualifying and taking out the team's backup car for the remainder of the program, Arenz lined up at the rear of the third 10-car IRA heat race. However, on the opening lap Arenz had to take evasive action to avoid Tyler Brabant, who got sideways exiting turn two, which sent Arenz's car flipping down the backstretch. Arenz returned to start 12th in the 10-lap IRA B main, needing to finish in the top six to earn an A-main transfer spot. The 16th year driver was able to move up four spots to finish eighth, which brought his participation in the IRA 410 Sprint car portion of the program to an early conclusion. Arenz's luck wasn't much better in the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car division. After qualifying second overall in MSA-PDTR 360 Sprint Car group qualifying with a lap of 13.343 seconds, Arenz missed the call to lineup for the second 10-lap heat race. As a result, Arenz started the 10-car 10-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car B main from the rear of the field. However, Arenz wasted little time weaving his way through the field using primarily the high groove of the third-mile clay oval en route to the B main victory and a starting spot in the 25-lap A-main field. After starting 16th in the PDTR-MSA main event, Arenz had moved up to 12th by lap 4. However, one lap later the two-time PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car champion clipped an infield tire and spun in turn two, which brought his evening to a premature close with a 22nd place finish. "In hot laps, I ended up hurting the motor, so I had to bring down the spare car," Arenz said. "In the heat race, unfortunately, we ended up making contact with a car that was spinning out and I didn't have anywhere to go. It wasn't too violent of a roll, so we got the car back down to the pit stall, made sure nothing was wrong with the frame and got to work. It needed a lot of bolt-on parts." "The crew got the car back to racing condition, while I tried to go run my heat race with the 360," he said. "Unfortunately, I did miss my heat race, which put us in the B-mains with both the 410 and 360. We missed the feature with the 410 by three positions but we did pick up the B main win with the 360 from the 10th starting position." On Sunday, May 21, the Travis Arenz Motorsports team traveled southwest to Angell Park Speedway, which is another track where Arenz has racked up success over the years in 360 Sprint Car competition. Arenz opened the night by qualifying 11th in the 27-car field with a lap of 12.322 seconds. After starting on the pole of the second eight-lap IRA heat race, Arenz placed second to secure a spot in the 30-lap main event. After rolling off 12th in the IRA main event, Arenz hovered around the top 10 through the first 25 laps of the race before the second caution flag of the event appeared on lap 25 for the slowing machine of Jake Blackhurst. Following the restart, Arenz strung together several good laps to sweep past Russel Borland and fellow IRA rookie Brenham Crouch to vault his way into seventh in the closing laps. Arenz held on to earn a seventh place showing in a race won by Bill Balog. "We packed up right away after Plymouth and headed to the shop as a team to discuss what we wanted to do for Sunday," Arenz said. "We ended up swapping motors from my spare car to the main car for Angell Park. The trailer needed to be put back together as things were everywhere from Saturday trying to get back out on the track. It was time consuming, but we made it work." "The car was decent in qualifying and in the heat race with how choppy the track was," he said. "I would say the feature went alright. We moved forward and, most importantly, the car rolled into the trailer afterwards. I am down a 410 motor at the moment and a car. Fingers crossed that the motor can get fixed quickly." Travis Arenz and the Travis Arenz Motorsports team are gearing up for another doubleheader weekend with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series starting with the team's third appearance of the season at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 27 with the Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars and Badger Midgets also on the all-open wheel card.

- Austin Hartmann storms to career-best A-main showing at Wilmot Raceway
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 10, 2023 - After sitting idle for three weeks, Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team returned to action in impressive fashion by racking up a career-best fifth place A-main finish in a non-sanctioned 410 Winged Sprint Car event at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 6. With 24 410 Winged Sprint Cars checked in for the program, Hartmann turned in the fifth-fastest overall lap in his group qualifying session with a time of 13.248 seconds around the third-mile clay oval. The fourth-year driver then lined up third in the second eight-lap heat race before turning in a fifth place finish to secure the fourth starting spot in the 25-lap A main. Hartmann drove a smooth and consistent race, while enduring a couple of restarts due to on-track incidents. As the laps wound down, Hartmann executed a nifty move to slip past Kurt Davis utilizing the low groove and nail down a career-best fifth place finish in a race won by Bill Balog. "We qualified fifth overall in the group qualifying session," Hartmann said. "The heat race went alright. We were close on set up, but not great. The feature went pretty good. The car faded too quickly, but, all in all, we'll take a fifth place finish. We are excited for the fun weekend ahead of us with the All Stars for two nights and also with the IRA on the second night. "I'm super proud of my pit crew guys, Hunter Annis and Eric Bergschultz," he said. "They've put in the work and used their minds to make this car faster every time it hits the track."

- Arenz charges to top-five IRA showing at Beaver Dam Raceway
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 20, 2023 - While the "R" after his name on the 2023 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series full-time driver roster might indicate otherwise, Travis Arenz looked like anything but a rookie, storming from his 15th starting spot to claim a fifth place showing behind the wheel of the 25T Travis Arenz Motorsports machine in the 30-lap IRA Jim Wipperfurth Memorial A main Saturday, April 15 at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. After falling short of making the A-main starting lineup during both nights of the 2023 season opening IRA-Midwest Open Wheel Association (MOWA) Morning Sun Farm Implement 410 Clash doubleheader weekend at 34 Raceway in his debut at the West Burlington, Iowa facility on April 7-8, Arenz returned to much more familiar footing for the third IRA event of the 2023 campaign at a track where he has visited victory lane in Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car competition and the results definitely showed. Arenz opened the night by turning in the 17th fastest qualifying time in the 25-car field with a lap of 12.606 seconds around the high-banked third-mile clay oval. After lining up sixth in the second eight-lap IRA heat race, Arenz wasted no time in working the high groove to maneuver around Jereme Schroeder and Austin Hartmann to take over fourth in the running order exiting turn two on the opening lap. The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver then held on to the fourth spot the rest of the way. Following an incident involving Tim Haddy and Jereme Schroeder on the initial start, Arenz rolled off from the 15th starting position in the 30-lap IRA main event and used a nifty move on lap four to bolt past both Todd King and Jack Vanderboom. After a caution for William Huck on lap 5, Arenz restarted 11th before passing Mike Reinke for 10th on lap 6 and Josh Schneiderman to seize ninth two laps later. Following another caution for a spin involving Russel Borland on lap 9, the 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion restarted eighth and put together three consecutive flawless laps using multiple grooves of the well-manicured racing surface to slip past IRA front runners Scotty Neitzel, Danny Schlafer and Jake Blackhurst and grab fifth on lap 12. Arenz held strong over the final 18 non-stop laps to secure a fifth place showing behind Blake Nimee (fourth), Brenham Crouch (third), Tim Estenson (second) and race winner Jordan Goldesberry. "We didn't get the gearing right, unfortunately, in qualifying," Arenz said. "We even made a change after hot laps, but it definitely still wasn't enough. I have an idea now where we need to be with this motor. "I was somewhat happy with the heat race," he said. "We moved forward and turned a few good laps. Overall, I was happy with the fifth place finish in the A main for how early in the season it is. Once I get more laps in with the 410 car, I'll be aiming for top-three finishes every night." Following an off weekend, Arenz will return to Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action with a doubleheader weekend of competition at two new tracks to the Travis Arenz Motorsports team, starting at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. on Saturday, April 29 and concluding on Sunday, April 30 with the IRA's first-ever appearance at Mason City Speedway in Mason City, Iowa. "I go to each new track with the same approach, which is to try to learn it as quickly as possible and watch previous film to see how the track unfolds over a complete night of racing," Arenz said. "That will be my approach to racing at two new tracks for us, Cedar Lake Speedway and Mason City Speedway, during our next weekend of racing with the IRA."

- Mechanical misfortune spoils Hartmann's IRA Beaver Dam Raceway effort
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 19, 2023 - A promising start to the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series Jim Wipperfurth Memorial ended in disappointment for Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team as a mechanical malfunction brought the evening to an early conclusion prior to the drop of the green flag in the 30-lap main event at Beaver Dam Raceway on Saturday, April 15. Hartmann came out of the gate strong to click off the fifth fastest qualifying lap in the 25-car field with a lap of 12.046 seconds around the high-banked third-mile clay oval. After the fourth-year Sprint Car competitor started third in the second eight-lap IRA heat race, he fell back to fifth on the opening lap as Brenham Crouch and Travis Arenz bolted past. Hartmann then maintained fifth in the running order for the remainder of the eight-lap heat race. Hartmann drew the third starting spot in the second four-lap IRA dash and wound up fifth to claim the 10th starting spot in the 30-lap A-main event. However, Hartmann did not turn another competitive lap for the remainder of the program. Shortly after pushing off for the 30-lap A main, a broken component in the driveline of the 87A Hartmann Racing machine forced Hartmann to leave the track and retire to the pit area for the remainder of the event. He was listed 22nd in the final race rundown. "We made a few changes over the week to the car, and the car felt great in hot laps and in qualifying," Hartmann said. "In the heat race, I got a bad start, but I knew I had to finish in the top five to make the dash, which we did. In the dash, I played around testing the car in different grooves of the track. While firing the car for the A main, the four studs holding the sliding collar over the torque tube ripped out. We don't know the cause of that issue, but it ended our night early." Following an off weekend, Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team will resume Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action with a doubleheader weekend of competition starting at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. on Saturday, April 29 and concluding on Sunday, April 30 at with the IRA's first-ever appearance at Mason City Speedway in Mason City, Iowa. "We will get the car fixed up for the next weekend of racing with the IRA on April 29 and 30," Hartmann said. "I am super excited to get back to Cedar Lake Speedway with the success we had there last year in winning the B main at the Jerry Richert Memorial event. I will watch some film and study Mason City Speedway to get ready for the IRA's first race at that track." Pit gates open at 3 p.m. and spectator gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6 p.m. for the Spring Open Wheel Spectacular at Cedar Lake Speedway, which also features Traditional Sprint Cars, Winged Limited Sprint Cars and 600cc Winged Micro Sprints.

By Loren Kelly Jordan Goldesberry’s IRA title defense is off to a roaring start. After two strong showings at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, IA to start the 2023 season, the Rockstar Energy Drink #65
- Austin Hartmann fires up 2023 IRA season in Iowa, eyes return to Beaver Dam Raceway
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 12, 2023 - With their rookie season of 410 Sprint Car competition now firmly planted in the rearview mirror, Austin Hartmann and the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing team flipped the page to their second full campaign on the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series tour, during the IRA-Midwest Open Wheel Association (MOWA) Morning Sun Farm Implement 410 Clash doubleheader race weekend Friday, April 7 and Saturday, April 8 at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa. In his 34 Raceway debut on Friday, April 7, Hartmann signed in among a strong field of 48 competitors on hand to kick off the 2023 IRA campaign. Hartmann opened the night by turning in the 14th fastest qualifying lap in split field qualifying group B in 13.828 seconds. After starting seventh in the eight-lap fourth heat race, Hartmann came home 10th. The 2020 Midwest Sprint Car Association Rookie of the Year Award winner then placed ninth after starting 10th in the 10-lap second B main. With another 48-car field on hand on Saturday, April 8, Hartmann qualified 10th in split field qualifying group B with a lap of 13.020 seconds. After starting fifth in the fourth eight lap IRA-MOWA heat race, the Plymouth, Wis. resident came home seventh. Hartmann then capped the 2023 IRA season opening doubleheader weekend event by placing sixth after starting third in the second 10 lap IRA-MOWA B main. "At first glance, 34 Raceway reminded me of Beaver Dam Raceway," Hartmann said. "The two tracks have very similar straightaways. The team and I set a goal for the weekend to get this new chassis figured out for different track conditions, as well as learn the new Hoosier tires. We took good notes on the car and track conditions that will hopefully help us coming up in the future when we make our return to 34 Raceway later in the season." Hartmann is now set to return to the site of his best career A-main finish this Saturday, April 15 as the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series makes its lone scheduled appearance of the 2023 season at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. Street Stocks and Legends also on the card for the annual Jim Wipperfurth Memorial event. In the IRA's last appearance at Beaver Dam Raceway on Sept. 17, 2022, Hartmann posted a career-best sixth place showing in the 30-lap Scott Semmelmann Memorial A main event. Pit gates open at 4 p.m. with spectator gates opening at 4:30 p.m. and racing scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. "Our team is super excited to get back to Beaver Dam Raceway and use what we learned this weekend at 34 Raceway to help us there," Hartmann said. "The new tires threw us for a loop, but we are excited to get more nights on them."

- Travis Arenz Motorsports throttles up rookie IRA campaign at 34 Raceway
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 11, 2023 - Facing off against a stellar field loaded with an impressive collection of the Midwest's top 410 Sprint Car competitors, Travis Arenz and the members of the Travis Arenz Motorsports team launched their rookie season with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series during the IRA-Midwest Open Wheel Association (MOWA) Morning Sun Farm Implement 410 Clash Friday, April 7 and Saturday, April 8 at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa. With 48 drivers signed in to fire off the 2023 IRA campaign, Arenz qualified 15th in split field qualifying group A with a lap of 13.823 seconds around the three-eighths mile semi-banked clay oval. In the first eight-lap IRA-MOWA heat, Arenz lined up eighth and passed Kris Spitz on the opening lap to take seventh. Five laps later, Tyler Drueke powered past to drop the 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car champion to eighth in the running order. A caution flag was displayed on lap seven when Austin McCarl stalled in turn one. Arenz restarted seventh and held the position through a green-white-checkered flag finish. Arenz then lined up fourth in the first 10-lap IRA-MOWA B main, needing to place second to earn a coveted berth in the 30-lap A main. A good start launched the 2021 and 2022 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion past Cameron Martin into third on the opening lap. On lap 4, Arenz used a nifty move to work around Tyler Drueke to gain second. However, Drueke battled back to slip past Arenz on the final lap to steal away the final transfer spot and relegate the Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver to a third place finish. Arenz returned to IRA-MOWA action to close out the team's 2023 season opening doubleheader weekend event at 34 Raceway against another stout field of 48 cars on Saturday, April 8. A lap of 13.300 seconds placed Arenz 15th in split field qualifying group B. Arenz then placed ninth after starting eighth in the third heat race and closed out the event with a fifth place finish after starting seventh in the second 10-lap B main. "I enjoyed racing at 34 Raceway," Arenz said. "It's a very nice facility and definitely an enjoyable track with two different corners, it seemed. It kind of reminded me of Manitowoc with the longer straights and tighter corners. "Our goals for the weekend were to make the show and get laps," he said. "I got some bad habits from the 360 car that I need to work on. I was comfortable in the car for it being the first time I was in it. The car just needs some tuning and work." Arenz will return to much more familiar territory this Saturday, April 15 as the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series makes its lone scheduled appearance of the 2023 season at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. Street Stocks and Legends also on the card for the annual Jim Wipperfurth Memorial event. Pits open at 4 p.m. with spectator gates opening at 4:30 p.m. and racing scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. "My approach going into this Saturday's race at Beaver Dam Raceway is the same as it is every week, which is to go out and perform to the level I know I can," Arenz said. "At the same time, I also know I need to continue to learn and get better." All 2023 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series events will be streamed live on FloRacing.

- Ten All Stars to battle for Series championship; Points begin with Attica Raceway Park's Spring Nationals
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (April 5, 2023) - The Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 will commence championship points competition during the coming weekend, joining the Buckeye State's finest in the two-day Core & Main Spring Nationals at Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio, on Friday and Saturday, April 7-8. Simultaneously opening Attica's 2023 schedule, the weekend pair will award $6,000 each with a guaranteed $550 to each A-Main starter. A staple on the All Star campaign trail, Attica Raceway Park - the home of "Ohio's Finest Racing" - will host "America's Series" on three more occasions in 2023 including a one night stay during Ohio Sprint Speedweek on June 9, followed by back-to-back nights of elbows-up action over Labor Day weekend. Dubbed the Attica Ambush, the Labor Day weekend double will award $6,000 and $12,000, respectively. Although postponed a weekend due to Mother Nature, the 2022 Core & Main Spring Nationals was swept by "Sunshine" Tyler Courtney. The eventual Series champion secured a $12,000 payday for his combined effort, holding off Ohio veteran, Greg Wilson, on night one before withstanding pressure from Series rival and championship contender, Zeb Wise, on night two. Drivers and teams have until Attica's driver's meeting on Friday, April 7, to fully commit to the All Star Circuit of Champions; however, ten teams have been confirmed and will battle for the Series championship in 2023. Included amongst the roster are Tyler Courtney of Clauson Marshall Racing, Hunter Schuerenberg of Vermeer Motorsports, Zeb Wise of Rudeen Racing, Chris Windom of Lane Racing, Parker Price-Miller of McCandless Motorsports, Conner Morrell of Marc Dailey Racing, JJ Hickle of Seeling Motorsports, Scotty Thiel of Premier Motorsports, Tim Shaffer of Bryan Grove Racing, and Zeth Sabo of Jay Kiser Racing. Attica's Spring Nationals doubleheader will ignite an action-packed points agenda for "America's Series." Of the 45 events remaining on the 2023 schedule, 21 will award $10,000-to-win or more with five writing checks for over $22,000. The season's premier programs include Portsmouth Raceway Park's annual Dean Knittel Memorial ($22,554), Lernerville Speedway's Silver Cup ($25,000), the annual Rayce Rudeen Foundation Race ($26,000), Port Royal Speedway's Bob Weikert Memorial ($29,000), and Port Royal Speedway's 55th annual Tuscarora 50 ($55,000). 2023 All Star Circuit of Champions Roster [Drivers listed as they finished in 2022 All Star driver standings, followed by new Series commits in alphabetical order] Tyler Courtney | Clauson Marshall Racing | 7BC Two-time and defending Series champion, Tyler Courtney, is back to try again, returning to the seat of the ever-familiar Clauson Marshall Racing No. 7BC for what he hopes to be a third title run in as many tries. Although not accumulating championship points, the Indianapolis, Indiana, native is already a two-time winner in All Star action in 2023, sweeping the two-day stay at East Bay Raceway Park in early February. "Sunshine" secured seven point-worthy victories in his most recent championship campaign, locking down the title by 122 markers over Buch Motorsports' Justin Peck. Hunter Schuerenberg | Vermeer Motorsports | 55 "Hunter Percent" Hunter Schuerenberg, piloting the Vermeer Motorsports No. 55, is not only back to battle again in 2023, but the Sikeston, Missouri, native is working to acquire a first-ever Series title. Schuerenberg was a four-time winner during All Star competition in 2022, capping his most recent title chase third in the Series' driver standings. Diverse, as well as talented, all four of Schuerenberg's recent victories were accomplished in four different states, his most recent at Stateline Speedway in Busti, New York. Zeb Wise | Rudeen Racing | 26 Angola, Indiana's Zeb Wise, a young veteran with the All Star Circuit of Champions, will return to Series competition in 2023 aboard Rudeen Racing's famous No. 26. Wise was a two-time All Star winner during his 2022 campaign and acquired each in the Buckeye State, the first at Attica Raceway Park on June 3 and the second in Fremont Speedway's second Ohio Sprint Speedweek date on June 12. The Hoosier capped his most recent All Star season fifth in the driver title standings. Chris Windom | Lane Racing | 4 Chris Windom, joining forces with Lane Racing for his 2023 campaign, will work to pick up right where he left off last season and not only contend for victories with "America's Series," but simultaneously throw his hat in the ring for an All Star championship. The Canton, Illinois, native found the top-ten on 15 occasions in 2022, qualifying for 45 point-earning features in the process. "The Bear" earned enough stats to find the seventh position in the season-ending driver championship. Parker Price-Miller | McCandless Motorsports | 29 The "Law Firm" Parker Price-Miller is back in 2023, also aboard a new opportunity that is McCandless Motorsports. Faced with a short season in 2022 due to injury, the Kokomo, Indiana, native still managed to wrangle in a pair of victories for Sam McGhee Motorsports with the first at Fremont Speedway during Ohio Sprint Speedweek and the second at Ransomville Speedway in Ransomville, New York. Prior to his injury, Price-Miller was on pace to be a title contender, notching 21 top-tens in 32 point-earning A-main starts. Conner Morrell | Marc Dailey Racing | 28 New to the All Star campaign trail in 2023, Bradenton, Florida's Conner Morrell will hit the road to contend for victories, working to pad an already impressive open wheel resume that includes a recent FAST Series triumph at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania. Morrell will ace the Marc Dailey Racing No. 28 in his All Star rookie season. JJ Hickle | Seeling Motorsports | 97 The 2022 Knoxville Raceway 410 Sprint Car Rookie of the Year is now a full-time All Star, as Quilcene, Washington's JJ Hickle will hit the road full-time aboard Ohio's famous Seeling Motorsports No. 97. Hickle may be new to the All Star game, but his experience may prove otherwise, as the Washington transplant already owns a Midwest Open Wheel Association (MOWA) victory at Spoon River Speedway in Canton, Illinois - a facility the All Stars will visit in 2023. Scotty Thiel | Premier Motorsports | 70 The "Big Wheel" Scotty Thiel, now in charge of Pete Grove's Premier Motorsports No. 70, will join the All Star Circuit of Champions on a full-time basis for the first time in 2023. Although not committed to one particular series, the Sheboygan, Wisconsin, native was a five-time sprint car winner in 2022, four of which during IRA Outlaw Sprint Series competition. In addition, Thiel earned a breakout performance against the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series in his home state of Wisconsin, finishing a career-best sixth in Cedar Lake Speedway's Independence Day Spectacular on July 2.
