Sweetwater Speedway
IMCA Sport Compact Special making it to the Track June 21-22
The Sweetwater Speedway has many exciting events coming up for the 2024 racing season. June’s excitement will be the IMCA Sport Compact Special! IMCA Sport Compacts are an entry-level class for IMCA that are three or four-cylinder front-wheel-drive compact cars. This class grew quickly at Sweetwater Speedway and saw a field of 23 for the opening weekend. They will be racing for $1000 to win each night which is the biggest payout in the Rocky Mountain area for this class and should bring drivers from all over the west to compete with local talent.
Kids 12 and under get in FREE on both Friday and Saturday nights. They will also get a cool door prize from our sponsor, The UPS Store. These prizes will be different each night so that kids can collect each item. The weekend will also include racing from the kids Go-Kart Classes and the International Motor Contest Association (IMCA) Modified, Sport Mod and Sport Compact divisions. The new Victory Lane brought to us by sponsor Jonathan Crawford of WyoMovies was a huge hit opening weekend. It allowed fans to take photos with the drivers and check out the cars up close. Pitt Stop Motorsports will be on-site for all the driver’s car part needs and if you can’t forget to pick up a t-shirt, hoodie or hat from the concessions area produced by Pitt Stop Signs and Graphics. It will be a great two days of racing. Concessions are available through the Food Dude, Ye Old Kettlecorn, the Snak Shack, and the Drink Dudette. Beer will be available on-site with a valid ID. There is NO drinking of alcohol in the pit area.
