Spoon River Speedway is excited to announce the expansion of the Plowboy Nationals weekend, scheduled for August 30, 31 and September 1, 2024. The three day event will feature E-Mods chasing a $2,500 top prize on both Friday and Saturday. Sunday’s finale will pay $5,000 to win. Hornets will be competing all three nights as well, with $500 to win features on both Friday and Saturday, and will culminate with the Sunday event paying $1,000 to win. "We're excited to add to our traditional Labor Day weekend event for the the Modifieds and give the E-Mod and Hornet drivers a big show", said promoter Tim Neidig.
The E-Mod and Hornet divisions will be open to competitors from all sanctions (UMP, IMCA, USRA, etc.) Your car must adhere to the rules of your sanctioning body - with the MSD chip NOT TO EXCEED 6500.
Pre-registration for the event is recommended. The entry fee for the weekend for E-Mods is $300, which includes a 3-Day Pit Pass and Transponder Rental.
