IHRA Road to the Championship is Part of Racing's Biggest Weekend

Thursday, 25 May 2023

HOUSE SPRINGS, Missouri — Memorial Day weekend is traditionally the biggest weekend in motorsports with such iconic events as Formula One’s Monaco Grand Prix, the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600.

Several International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) tracks will take part as well with Summit SuperSeries bracket races throughout the weekend. For the racers, it’s a great opportunity to participate in the IHRA Summit SuperSeries program with prizes and payouts to exceed $275,000 at the 2023 IHRA World Finals.

Starting in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Elk Creek Dragway has a Division 1 (Patriots) race scheduled for Saturday. Holly Springs Motorsports Park, the Mississippi track which hosts this year’s IHRA Summit SuperSeries World Finals, has a day of Division 2 (Heat Wave) racing also on Saturday. Other Division 2 tracks — Beacon Dragway in Kentucky and Music City Raceway in Middle Tennessee — are in action, while Newport Raceway in Arkansas has points racing on Sunday.

Three Ohio tracks — KD Motorsports Park, Kuhnle Motorsports Park and Quaker City Motorsports Park — host Division 3 (North Stars) points races. Also on the Saturday docket are races at Kentucky Dragway and Muncie (Ind.) Dragway.
