Nick McCrady has taken over track promotion duties at Maquoketa Speedway, a ¼-mile dirt oval in Maquoketa, Iowa.

McCrady worked at Quad City Speedway, Davenport Speedway and Cedar County Raceway before taking the top job at Maquoketa.

The season opens April 14 with weekly Saturday night programs featuring five IMCA divisions scheduled through August 25.

“I see something here that has potential. I want to see how I can make this track even better for drivers and fans,” McCrady said. “We’re going to work very hard at building our weekly car counts and we’re very excited about having the Deery Brothers Summer Series here on May 5.”

IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Late Models, IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks and Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods are back on regular race programs at Maquoketa while IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars are newly-sanctioned.

Twenty point races will be held during the upcoming IMCA Speedway Motors Weekly Racing season.

A new track crew for 2018 includes Randy Massarolo, who has worked at area tracks for many years and who will be in charge of preparing the racing surface. Lisa Sanders is returning to the track and Randy Anderson, IMCA’s Late Model director, will help with tech on various race days. Kevin Feller will be scoring and Doug Haack will be throw­ing the flags weekly.

The Lil’ Racer Car Club, a promotional group dedicated to making a great race day experience for the young race fans, is also new to the track this year.
