Racers can gain entry to the IHRA Summit SuperSeries World Finals presented by Strange Engineering by winning an exclusive Sportsman Spectacular main event in conjunction with entering at least two other IHRA races (an IHRA-member track Summit SuperSeries team race or Sportsman Spectacular) before the 2024 IHRA Summit SuperSeries World Finals. Current IHRA membership is required.

IHRA members racing in the Top (Box), Mod (No Box) and Junior Dragster classes have the opportunity to compete for the prestigious IHRA Ironman trophy at each event as well as the coveted oversized championship checks. IHRA members will also be in the running for limited-edition Sportsman Spectacular commemorative medals in addition to their winnings.

Details of each IHRA Sportsman Spectacular will be released soon as each event remains tailored to the host track’s racing programs. Sportsman and Motorcycle classes could also be contested. 

Charlie Lockhart, who represented Beacon Dragway in the No Box class at the 2023 IHRA Summit SuperSeries World Finals, is off to another great start at the Paducah, KY track with back-to-back wins over the last two Saturdays. Justin Minton (Box), William Thurston (Sportsman) and Brantley Forrester (Junior Dragster) also won March 23 races. 

Unfortunately, rain washed out action at South Carolina Motorplex last Saturday. But, there was racing the IHRA Summit SuperSeries racing the previous Saturday. Guy Farman (Box), Rickie Dunn (Mod), Lavern Williams Jr. (Sportsman) and Stanton McCallister (Junior Dragster) moved to the points lead after the first race at the Orangeburg, SC facility.
