ALLISON, Iowa -- Rain and more rain forecasted for this evening has forced event organizers to cancel tonight’s event at the Highway 3 Raceway in Allison, Iowa, featuring USMTS Modifieds and the Industrial Material Surplus Iron Man Challenge for Stock Cars and B-Mods.

Stock Cars will be racing for $700 to win and $125 to start both nights while B-Mods will battle for $500 to win and $80. Tow money for non-qualifiers will be $75 and $50, respectively.

There is no requirement to purchase a USRA license to compete in the Iron Man Challenge, but licensed drivers in each class will get $10 off their entry fee each night. The cost of a USRA license is $100 for Stock Cars and $90 for B-Mods, and comes with a piece-of-mind $100,000 insurance policy and track and national points funds unmatched in grassroots dirt track racing.

Last season 367 tough-as-nails drivers took part in the Iron Man Challenge, including 237 different B-Mod drivers and 130 Stock Car competitors.

The 2012 points champion will be determined by the best 12 finishes for B-Mods while Stock Cars will count their best 10 nights. To be eligible for points funds, drivers must possess a valid USRA license, utilize the American Racer KK704 racing tire on all four wheels and compete in at least half of the events for their division.

All Iron Man Challenge events will also award USRA national points.
