The Bumper To Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint series embarks on a tripleheader weekend June 15-17 with events at Outagamie (Seymour), Wilmot, and Angell Park. Joining the IRA contingent this weekend will be NASCAR's 2017 Truck Series Most Popular Driver and Rookie of the Year, Chase Briscoe. Chase, who competes full time now with NASCAR's Xfinity Series actually comes from an open wheel background, as his dad Kevin was quite the accomplished non-wing wheelman in Indiana winning countless races. Chase is looking to gain some winged experience and also hopes to compete at the upcoming IRA/All Star co-sanctioned event at Route 66 in Joliet June 30th. All three weekend shows will pay $3000 to the winner. Jim Moughan Jr has also indicated his intentions to run with IRA this weekend. Scotty Thiel leads Jake Blackhurst, Steve Meyer, 2016 IRA Champ Jeremy Schultz, Mike Reinke, Brandon McMullen, Ben Schmidt, Scott Biertzer, Matt Vanderevere, and 2-time IRA Champ Scotty Neitzel in the early point chase. Russel Borland, Scott Uttech, Kris Spitz, Mike Decker, Jereme Schroeder, Wayne Modjeski, Keith Fellner, Nick Matuszewski, and Hunter Custer have attended all IRA events to date too. Meyer, Vandervere, Thiel, and 8-time champ Bill Balog have visited IRA victory lane so far in 2018. Balog is also expected all weekend. Several others are expected over the course of the weekend for some IRA fun as well.
