This years Two Track Point fund will award eligible competitors with over $29,000 in cash prizes. In order for a driver to be eligible for the Two Track Point Fund, he or she must compete in at least 75% of the races held at both Dubuque County racetracks.

The Late Model and Modified point fund champions will each get $1500 while the Pro Stocks will be competing for a $1200 top prize and the Bombers $1000.

“We recognize the difference between our two tracks in Dubuque County and have found a way, along with East Dubuque Savings Bank and Midwest Cash and Carry to award our drivers who attempt to conquer both,” mentioned Joe Hayes, Simmons Promotions General Manager.

Hayes was referring to the half-mile dirt that makes up the Farley Speedway and the steeply banked 3/8’s mile clay track located on the Dubuque County Fairgrounds.

“The Two Track Point Fund will highlight a competitors versatility and give fans more ways to compare their favorite drivers,” he went on to add.
