Sprint Invaders Take On 34 Raceway and Peoria This Weekend!
by Bill Wright

August 13, 2024 – The Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders are back in action this weekend, with events on Friday, August 16 at the 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa and the Peoria Speedway in Illinois on Saturday, August 17. In addition to the $2,000 to win events, there will be a point fund paying the top five car owners, with the overall point earner taking home a bonus $1,000 to sweeten the pot!

Friday marks the 77th feature run at 34 Raceway in Sprint Invaders history. Dustin Selvage won the event there in May, and Tasker Phillips captured the feature in June. Selvage’s win put him in a four-way tie with Matt Rogerson, Jerrod Hull and Paul Nienhiser on the all-time win list there with five. John Schulz and Josh Schneiderman have four wins apiece, and Bobby Mincer, Kaley Gharst, Matt Sutton, Ryan Jamison and Jon Agan have three. Two-time winners at the 3/8-mile oval include Joey Moughan, Chris Martin, Terry McCarl and Chase Randall. This will be the last time the Sprint Invaders have a chance to tune up on the 3/8-mile oval before the $5,000 to win “Fall Haul” there on Saturday, September 28.

The grandstands open Friday at 5 p.m. with hot laps scheduled for 6:30. Adult tickets are $18 with students and seniors admitted for $15. Kids 10 and under are FREE. IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Sport Compacts and Mini-Haulers are also in action.

Saturday will be the ninth time the Sprint Invaders have descended on the quarter-mile bullring in Peoria. Ryan Jamison is only two-time winner there, and Bobby Mincer, Jerrod Hull, Roger Crockett, Bret Tripplett, Jon Agan, and Paul Nienhiser, who won there in 2023, also have victories.

The gates open in Peoria Saturday at 3:30 p.m. Hot laps are scheduled for 5:45 p.m. Grandstand tickets are $20 with kids 10 and under FREE. UMP Late Models, UMP Hornets, B-Mods and Kid Mods will also be running.

Nienhiser leads the series in feature wins (5) and in the current point standings heading into the weekend. Defending series’ champion Ryan Bunton is second, ahead of Cody Wehrle, Colton Fisher and Tyler Lee. McCain Richards, Chase Richards, Tanner Gebhardt, Tasker Phillips and Cam Martin round out the current top ten in the standings.
