July 25, 2024 – The Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders return to the Bloomfield Speedway on the Davis County Fairgrounds in Bloomfield, Iowa, and will be vying for a top prize of $4,000! The event will be this Tuesday, July 30, and will be held two nights before the 360 Nationals commence in Knoxville, making it a bit of a mystery who will be shooting for the higher payday.
The series will be making its tenth appearance at the 3/8-mile oval, but its first in two years. Paul Nienhiser was the winner of that event. Kaley Gharst leads in wins at Bloomfield with the Sprint Invaders, having collected three. Jon Agan is a two-time winner, and Jerrod Hull, Josh Schneiderman and Chris Martin have also won there.
Nienhiser leads the series in feature wins (5) and in the current point standings heading into Independence. 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.
Hot laps are scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, with racing to follow. Grandstand tickets are $18 for adults, and 12 and under are $10!
