LAS VEGAS, NV | Nov. 2, 2013 - Pre-entries for the Duel In The Desert special at Las Vegas Motor Speedway continue to run ahead of last year’s pace, with 165 IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modified and IMCA SportMod drivers on the roster for the Nov. 6-9 special.
Early entries are in hand from 134 Modified drivers from 19 states and three Canadian provinces. SportMod entries number 31 and were postmarked from 11 states and one province.
That’s 10 ahead of 2012 numbers with a flurry of last-minute paperwork expected.
Modifieds race for $7,777 to win and a minimum of $777 to start their Saturday, Nov. 9 Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot qualifier. Preliminary features on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 7 and 8 both pay $777 to win.
Both Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods and Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center Southern SportMods will compete in the same races with the existing rules for each division. Their features pay $500 to win on Friday and $777 to win on Saturday.
Friday’s card includes the EQ Cylinder Heads Wild West Shootout. Modified drivers who finished in the top 20 in point standings for that series will draw for their positions on the starting grid.
Also on Saturday are the Modified Young Guns race, for drivers 18 and younger, and the Legends race, for Modified drivers 55 and older.
Tech inspection begins at 8 a.m. on Thursday. Racing starts at 5 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
