IRA - Interstate Racing Association Outlaw Sprints

• dirt track racing organizations

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.

  2023 Tezos All Star schedule to feature 50 events including six-race kick off in Georgia and Florida

  BROWNSBURG, Ind. (December 1, 2022) - With much anticipation, the Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 is pleased to unveil a 50-race slate for the 2023 season, all of which kicking-off in traditional fashion with their annual southern swing through Georgia and Florida on February 3-14. Diverse as well as competitive, the 2023 All Star agenda boasts a travel plan that features 33 different facilities across 11 states. In addition to the visits to Georgia and Florida, America's Series will trek through Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, and New Jersey during the new year. Of the 50 events on the 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-to-win), the annual Rayce Rudeen Foundation Race ($26,000) - to be held in at the Plymouth Dirt Track (WI), Port Royal Speedway's Bob Weikert Memorial ($29,000), and Port Royal Speedway's 55th annual Tuscarora 50 ($55,000). "We had objectives to accomplish while working through the scheduling process for the 2023 season", said Tony Stewart, owner of the All Stars. "We made a concerted effort to desaturate certain markets to facilitate a hopeful improvement in the demand to attend our events. Further, we continue to pursue partnerships with increased purse payouts for the race teams. Once again, we appreciate the support of the many track owners and promoters in scheduling an All Star event or events with us in 2023." In addition to the 21 events paying $10,000 or more, the 2023 schedule officially includes 15 events paying $6,000 to win, 2 events paying $7,000 to win, 11 events paying $8,000 to win and 1 event paying $8,500 to win. "We're really excited about what we were able to put together for 2023", Stewart continued. "We feel it's a great mix of our staple events, combined with some new dates for some tracks, sprinkled in with a handful of visits to tracks that have either never been on our schedule or we haven't visited in a few years. We'll be anxious and ready to head down to Georgia at the end of January." A six-race non-point stint through the Peach State and Sunshine State will commence with a visit to Senoia Raceway in Senoia, Georgia, on February 3-4, Volusia Speedway Park in DeLeon Springs, Florida, on February 7-8, and East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, Florida, on February 13-14. After nearly a two-month break, the 2023 All Star championship points season will begin with a two-day Spring Nationals visit to Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio, on Friday and Saturday, April 7-8. If each of the Attica events should be forced to move due to weather, the two-day program will then be contested the following weekend, Friday and Saturday, April 14-15. May's agenda stands tall with an action-packed slate featuring a competitive weekend at Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville, Illinois, and Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wisconsin, on May 12-13, followed by the season's first trip to the Empire State with visits to Outlaw Speedway, Fonda Speedway, and Weedsport Speedway on May 19-21, respectively. A journey to New Jersey and Pennsylvania on May 25-28 will help the All Stars close the month of May with consecutive stops at Bridgeport Speedway in Swedesboro, New Jersey on Thursday, Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, on Friday, and Port Royal Speedway in Port Royal, Pennsylvania, on Saturday and Sunday; the weekend will conclude with the $29,000-to-win Bob Weikert Memorial on Sunday, May 28. June will begin with a trip to Wisconsin where the Series will battle the IRA Outlaw Sprint Series during visits to Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam (June 2) and the $26,000-to-win Rayce Rudeen Foundation Race at the Plymouth Dirt Track on the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds (June 3). The 41st edition of Ohio Sprint Speedweek is slated for June 9-17 featuring eight events in nine days concluding with the Dean Knittel Memorial at Portsmouth Raceway Park. Speedweek action will take the All Star Circuit of Champions to Attica Raceway Park on June 9, Fremont Speedway on June 10, Wayne County Speedway on June 11-12, Sharon Speedway on June 13, Atomic Speedway on June 15, Eldora Speedway on June 16, and Portsmouth on June 17. Wednesday's open date will act as a potential rain date should any event prior need to utilize it. July will be diverse for America's Series, not only featuring a two-day blast through New York and Ohio in visits to Ransomville Speedway in Ransomville, New York, and Sharon Speedway for the Lou Blaney Memorial in Hartford, Ohio, on July 7-8, but the map will also take action to Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania, where All Star competitors and Western Pennsylvania's finest will battle head-to-head for the $25,000-to-win Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup on Tuesday, July 18. July will then continue with a venture west into the Central Time Zone where teams will compete elbows up in seven events over nine days. Dubbed Thunder Through the Plains, the nine-day tour will include stops at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, on July 21, Spoon River Speedway in Lewistown, Illinois, on July 22, Red Hill Speedway in Sumner, Illinois, on July 23, Benton Speedway in Benton, Missouri, on July 26, Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Missouri, on July 27, I-70 Motorsports Park in Odessa, Missouri, on July 28, and Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on July 29. Giving All Star teams the opportunity to compete in Knoxville Raceway's annual 360 and 410 Nationals programs, the Series' August agenda will not commence until Friday and Saturday, August 18-19, when the Series will attempt to conquer the Empire State yet again, this time visiting Outlaw Speedway in Dundee and Utica-Rome Speedway in Vernon in consecutive fashion. Eventually trekking south of the New York border, the mid-August weekend will conclude officially with a visit to Selinsgrove Speedway in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, August 20. A two-day stop in Michigan, the lone visit to the Wolverine State in 2023, will then close out the month of August with events at Tri-City Motor Speedway (August 25) and Butler Motor Speedway for the Mace Thomas Classic on August 26. Perhaps the most competitive stretch on the 2023 All Star schedule, September's slate includes not only another tangle with the notorious Pennsylvania Posse, but also competition with Ohio's ultra-competitive local contingent, blasting off with Attica Raceway Park's annual Attica Ambush on Friday and Saturday, September 1-2. Wasting little time, compasses will then turn due east, setting aim on another visit to the Port Royal Speedway where action will resume for three straight days. Featuring the highest paying program on the 2023 All Star slate, Tuscarora 50 weekend will take center stage on Thursday through Saturday, September 7-9, headlined with the $55,000-to-win Tuscarora 50 on Saturday night. The 50-lap finale is also the longest event on the 2023 All Star calendar. The All Star Circuit of Champions will then close-out the 2023 season officially with a three-event return to the Buckeye State, first headlining Fremont Speedway's Jim & Joanne Ford Classic on Friday and Saturday, September 15-16, followed by Eldora Speedway's 4-Crown Nationals on Saturday, September 23. 2023 All Star Schedule: (events in bold at minimum $10,000 to win) Friday, February 3 | Senoia Raceway | Senoia, GA Saturday, February 4 | Senoia Raceway | Senoia, GA ($10,000 to win) Tuesday, February 7 | Volusia Speedway Park | DeLeon Springs, FL Wednesday, February 8 | Volusia Speedway Park | DeLeon Springs, FL Monday, February 13 | East Bay Raceway Park | Tampa, FL Tuesday, February 14 | East Bay Raceway Park | Tampa, FL Friday, April 7 | Attica Raceway Park | Attica, OH Saturday, April 8 | Attica Raceway Park | Attica, OH Friday, May 12 | Jacksonville Speedway | Jacksonville, IL Saturday, May 13 | Wilmot Raceway | Wilmot, WI Friday, May 19 | Outlaw Speedway | Dundee, NY Saturday, May 20 | Fonda Speedway | Fonda, NY ($10,000 to win) Sunday, May 21 | Weedsport Speedway | Weedsport, NY Thursday, May 25 | Bridgeport Speedway | Swedesboro, NJ ($10,000 to win) Friday, May 26 | Williams Grove Speedway | Mechanicsburg, PA ($10,000 to win) Saturday, May 27 | Port Royal Speedway | Port Royal, PA ($10,000 to win) Sunday, May 28 | Port Royal Speedway | Port Royal, PA ($29,000 to win) Friday, June 2 | Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway | Beaver Dam, WI Saturday, June 3 | Plymouth Dirt Track | Plymouth, WI ($26,000 to win) Friday, June 9 | Attica Raceway Park | Attica, OH Saturday, June 10 | Fremont Speedway | Fremont, OH ($10,000 to win) Sunday, June 11 | Wayne County Speedway | Orrville, OH Monday, June 12 | Wayne County Speedway | Orrville, OH ($10,000 to win) Tuesday, June 13 | Sharon Speedway | Hartford, OH Thursday, June 15 | Atomic Speedway | Chillicothe, OH Friday, June 16 | Eldora Speedway | Rossburg, OH ($12,000 to win) Saturday, June 17 | Portsmouth Raceway Park | Portsmouth, OH ($22,554 to win) Friday, July 7 | Ransomville Speedway | Ransomville, NY ($12,000 to win) Saturday, July 8 | Sharon Speedway | Hartford, OH ($10,000 to win) Tuesday, July 18 | Lernerville Speedway | Sarver, PA ($25,000 to win) Friday, July 21 | 34 Raceway | West Burlington, IA Saturday, July 22 | Spoon River Speedway | Lewistown, IL Sunday, July 23 | Red Hill Speedway | Sumner, IL Wednesday, July 26 | Benton Speedway | Benton, MO Thursday, July 27 | Lake Ozark Speedway | Eldon, MO Friday, July 28 | I-70 Motorsports Park | Odessa, MO Saturday, July 29 | Knoxville Raceway | Knoxville, IA Friday, August 18 | Outlaw Speedway | Dundee, NY Saturday, August 19 | Utica-Rome Speedway | Vernon, NY ($10,000 to win) Sunday, August 20 | Selinsgrove Speedway | Selinsgrove, PA ($10,000 to win) Friday, August 25 | Tri-City Motor Speedway | Auburn, MI Saturday, August 26 | Butler Motor Speedway | Quincy, MI Friday, September 1 | Attica Raceway Park | Attica, OH Saturday, September 2 | Attica Raceway Park | Attica, OH ($12,000 to win) Thursday, September 7 | Port Royal Speedway | Port Royal, PA Friday, September 8 | Port Royal Speedway | Port Royal, PA ($10,000 to win) Saturday, September 9 | Port Royal Speedway | Port Royal, PA ($55,000 to win) Friday, September 15 | Fremont Speedway | Fremont, OH Saturday, September 16 | Fremont Speedway | Fremont, OH ($10,000 to win) Saturday, September 23 | Eldora Speedway | Rossburg, OH ($10,000 to win) About the All Star Circuit of Champions: All Star Enterprises, LLC, wholly owned by Tony Stewart, d/b/a the All Star Circuit of Champions, is a winged sprint car series.

  Austin Hartmann treasures lessons learned, progress made during rookie IRA 410 Sprint Car Series season

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) November 15, 2022 - With just two seasons of prior Sprint Car racing experience under their collective belts coming into the 2022 campaign, Austin Hartmann and the members of the Plymouth, Wis.-based 87A Hartmann Racing Team put their talents to the test in a big way during their rookie campaign traveling to 410 Sprint Car races throughout the Midwest with the regional touring Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series. A five-and-a-half-month 2022 journey competing against many of the nation's top 410 Sprint Car drivers at 13 different tracks in three states produced a garden variety of on-track results, along with a host of valuable learning experiences, will-testing challenges and thrilling highlights. The 87A Hartmann Racing team launched its new racing adventure at the Bumper to Bumper IRA 410 Sprint Car Series 2022 season opener at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Saturday, April 23. Utilizing a calm, cool and collected approach in negotiating a lightning fast and tricky track surface, Hartmann brought his Bennett Transport Inc.-sponsored 87A Hartmann Racing machine home to an 18th place finish after starting 25th in the first 30-lap A main of his rookie season with the Bumper to Bumper IRA 410 Sprint Car Series. Hartmann's first trek to Sycamore Speedway in Maple Park, Ill. on Saturday, May 7 resulted in his second straight 18th-place A-main showing, as he turned in another smooth and consistent run after rolling off 21st in the 30-lap IRA main event. Hartmann returned to the friendly confines of his hometown track - The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. - for the Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions - Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Shootout on Saturday, May 21. With a large contingent of extra local supporters on hand to wish him well during the third race of his rookie IRA 410 Sprint Car Series season, Hartmann finished the night with a 14th place showing in the All Stars-IRA B Main among a stellar field of 36 All Stars-IRA competitors. Hartmann's scheduled appearance with the Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions and Bumper to Bumper IRA Sprint Cars at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. on Sunday, May 22 was hounded by mechanical maladies as the 87A car failed to get up to speed to register a qualifying time or compete in heat race or B Main competition due to a magneto issue. On Saturday, May 28, Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team made the long trek to Northwest Wisconsin for the IRA's return to the third-mile semi-banked Rice Lake Speedway for the first time in several years. Hartmann opened the night by qualifying 12th in the 20-car field with a lap of 14.181 seconds. After lining up the pole of the third eight-lap IRA heat race, Hartmann placed fourth in the race to earn the 12th starting spot in the 30-lap main event. The third-year Plymouth, Wis. Sprint Car driver drove a steady race in just his third IRA A main in a 410 Sprint Car en route to an IRA career-best 13th place showing. On Sunday, May 29 at one of Hartmann's favorite tracks - 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis. - the 2020 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car Rookie of the Year Award winner was quick out of the box as he turned in the 11th fastest qualifying lap in the 27-car field with a lap of 11.318 seconds. After lining up on the pole of the second eight-lap IRA heat race, Hartmann placed fourth to earn a direct transfer spot to the A main and his first-career berth in the IRA dash field. After drawing the pole for the second four-lap IRA dash, Hartmann placed fourth to gain the eighth starting spot in the 30-lap IRA main event, during which he came home 24th. On Saturday, June 11, Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team made the haul south of the Wisconsin-Illinois border to Fairbury American Legion Speedway in Fairbury, Ill. for the 12th annual $6,000-to-win co-sanctioned IRA-Midwest Open Wheel Association (MOWA) Bill Waite Jr. Memorial Classic, which attracted a stout field of 36 entries. After starting fourth in the 12-lap B main, Hartmann was running seventh when a two-car spin brought out the yellow flag on lap 10. With the top-four finishers earning spots in the A main, Hartmann restarted fifth and pressured the fourth-place car of Dave Uttech for the final transfer position over the final two laps before settling for fifth to fall just short of advancing to the A-main event. With fast and uneven track conditions providing an extra challenge in the team's second appearance of the 2022 season at Angell Park Speedway, Hartmann drove a steady race to advance from his 15th starting position to come home with an IRA career-best 11th place finish in the 30-lap A-main event on Sunday, June 12. In his NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Series debut on Friday, June 17, Hartmann qualified 22nd in the 33-car field with a lap of 11.528 seconds on the lightning-fast, high-banked, third-mile Beaver Dam Raceway clay oval. After lining up sixth in the second World of Outlaws heat race, Hartmann's maiden voyage with the WoO was short-lived as contact with J.J. Hickle as the green flag dropped resulted in heavy damage to his Kristine Hartmann of Pleasant View Realty-sponsored machine, which forced the team to retire from the race and scratch for the remainder of the event. Thanks to some late-night repair work from Scotty Neitzel and Rick Lemanski of R&H Enterprises, Hartmann returned to action for the second half of the World of Outlaws doubleheader weekend at Beaver Dam Raceway on Saturday, June 18. After starting and finishing eighth in the first eight-lap WoO heat race, Hartmann rolled off fifth in the 12-lap Last Chance Showdown needing to finish in the top six to advance to the 40-lap main event. Hartmann ran fifth in the opening laps of the Last Chance Showdown before Josh Schneiderman slipped past to shuffle him back to sixth. He then ran smooth and consistent laps over the second half of the race to hold off Matt Vandevere and secure a starting berth in his first career World of Outlaws A main. With the big picture of completing the remainder of his rookie 410 Sprint Car season in mind, Hartmann pulled off early in the 40-lap main event and was credited with a 22nd place finish. With the NASCAR Cup Series set to visit Road America just at nearby Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wis. during the Fourth of July holiday weekend, The Plymouth Dirt Track was buzzing for a special weeknight all-Sprint Car spectacular with a full house of fans packing the grandstand and a solid field of 28 IRA Sprint Cars checked in to battle for the $5,000-to-win Road America Challenge top prize on Thursday, June 30. After starting 24th in the 24-car IRA A-main lineup, Hartmann ran a smooth and consistent race as he managed to dodge several mishaps, which produced a lengthy event filled with six caution/red flag periods and ensuing restarts. In the closing stages of the race, Hartmann engaged in a duel with fellow IRA rookie competitor Tyler Tischendorf before finishing 19th in the event. On Friday, July 15 and Saturday, July 16, Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team made the 640-mile trek to River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, North Dakota for an IRA-NOSA co-sanctioned doubleheader weekend. With strong fields of over 30 cars on hand both nights, Hartmann qualified for both main events, placing 19th in the A main on Friday, July 15 and 23rd in the main event on Saturday, July 16. On Friday, July 22 at Outagamie Speedway in Seymour, Wis., Hartmann fought a power-steering issue to notch a 17th place finish in the 30-lap IRA A main. The Hartmann 87A team then made their first trip to the big, wide half-mile Langlade County Speedway in Antigo, Wis. on Friday, July 29 where Hartmann suffered a rear-end failure in the heat race before rallying to earn hard-charger honors with a 19th to 14th place run in the caution-free A main. The following night saw the team travel back home for its third appearance of the season at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, July 30. With 22 IRA 410 Sprint Cars on hand, Hartmann turned in his best qualifying effort of the 2022 season, as he timed in third with a lap of 11.769 seconds around the third-mile clay oval. After lining up fourth in the third eight-lap heat race, Hartmann finished fourth to advance to his second IRA dash of the 2022 campaign. The third-year Sprint Car racer started and finished fifth in the second four-lap IRA dash to secure the 10th starting spot in the 30-lap main event. Hartmann worked primarily the low groove during the majority of the A-main en route to a strong 12th place main event showing. Following two weekends off from competition, Hartmann returned to action with the IRA 410 Sprint Car Series for the Roger Iles Tribute event at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 20 where he finished 20th after starting 14th in the 36-lap A main. After qualifying seventh and earning his third IRA dash appearance of the 2022 campaign, Hartmann started ninth and tallied a 15th place finish in the 30-lap IRA Corn Fest A main at Angell Park Speedway on Sunday, Aug. 21. The Founders Night IRA event at Wilmot Speedway on Saturday, Aug. 27 saw Hartmann qualify 11th in the 27-car field and earn his first career IRA heat race victory to lock himself into his fourth IRA dash of the 2022 season. After rolling off 10th in the 25-lap main event, Hartmann was running seventh in the early going when he spun in turn two after racing in close quarters with Jeremy Schultz. Hartmann rebounded after restarting 20th to earn a 16th place showing. Hartmann opened a tripleheader IRA weekend with a 12th place A-main finish after starting 16th in the 20-lap Harry Neitzel Tribute Race at the Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Friday, Sept. 2. One night later, Hartmann racked up his first-career IRA fast qualifier award as he topped the 31-car field with a lap of 11.461 seconds around his hometown track. After making his fifth IRA dash appearance of the 2022 season, Hartmann started fifth in the 30-lap A main. Hartmann was running eighth when contact with Kyle Schuett shortly after a lap 23 restart, sent him flipping wildly into the turn one fence. Although Hartmann emerged from his battered machine uninjured, the 87A machine suffered extensive damage as he was scored with a 22nd place finish. One night later, Hartmann entered the final event of the three-race IRA weekend behind the wheel of Al Schlafer's 360 Sprint Car at 141 Speedway where he posted a 19th place finish in the 30-lap A main. On Saturday, Sept. 10, Hartmann ventured west to make his first appearance at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. for the IRA's prestigious $6,000-to-win Jerry Richert Memorial, which drew a stellar field of 30 competitors. Hartmann earned his first career IRA B Main victory to earn the 19th starting spot in the 30-lap A main where he placed 21st. Hartmann put together his best overall performance of the 2022 season at the IRA Scott Semmelmann Memorial at Beaver Dam Raceway on Saturday, Sept. 17. After qualifying 10th, Hartmann advanced to his sixth IRA dash of the 2022 campaign to nail down the eighth starting spot in the 30-lap main event where he held strong on the lightning-fast track surface to secure an IRA career-best sixth place A-main finish. Hartmann turned in a 14th place A-main finish in the 20-lap IRA Checkered Flag Classic at the Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Friday, Sept. 23. The Hartmann 87A team then capped off the 2022 IRA season with the Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, Sept. 24. With 24 IRA 410 Sprint Cars on hand, Hartmann began the night by qualifying 11th with a lap of 11.718 seconds around the ultra-fast and tacky third-mile clay oval. Hartmann lined up on the pole position of the second eight-lap IRA heat race. However, a jumbled start was waived off by track officials before Hartmann spun in turn two while trying to slow down his machine. The spin resulted in contact with another car and front-end damage to his 87A car, which caused him to retire from the race with an eighth place showing. After making the necessary repairs, Hartmann started 21st in the 30-lap IRA main event, staying out of trouble throughout en route to a 19th place finish. Hartmann capped his rookie season of Bumper to Bumper IRA 410 Sprint Car Series competition 10th in the final point standings. In 26 events, including 24 IRA races, Hartmann tallied one top-10, eight top-15 and 17 top-20 A-main showings in 22 A-main appearances. In addition, Hartmann posted one heat race victory, one B-main triumph, one fast qualifier award and six dash appearances during his rookie IRA campaign. "I would like to thank all of our sponsors and supporters who made it possible for me to race a 410 Sprint Car with the IRA Series during the 2022 season, especially Kristine Hartmann of Pleasant View Realty and Andrew Shufflebotham of Shufflebotham Tree Service " Hartmann said. "I would also like to thank all of the members of our pit crew, who did so much to help out and keep us racing all season long. "As far as the racing goes, we definitely learned a lot during the course of the season that will help us during the 2023 season," he said.
