The one race every IMCA driver wants to win is the Annugas Roy Ross Memorial Race. This has always been my favorite IMCA race starting at Race City & now at Edmonton International Raceway, it is always worth the drive to Wetaskiwin to see great racing. Classes: NASCAR Thunder Cars, NASCAR Pure Stocks, Mini Cups & Roy Ross IMCA Memorial Race! Gates Open at 4 PM Racing at 6 PM.
In 1996, Roy Ross died while racing at Race City Speedway in Calgary on the Father’s Day weekend. The International Motor Contest Associates and the racers have held a memorial race for the last 27 years. This year we have a 3-day, 3-track event planned for the 27th Anniversary, the Annugas Goldbrick 447 consists of 3 challenge races, and the Roy Ross Memorial Race. The 27th running of the Annugas Roy Ross Memorial Race, the driver with the most total day points from 2 of the 3 Challenge races will take the poll starting position followed by the rest of the field based on their points. This is the 2nd time that the Roy Ross will start the fastest cars at the front, proving to be an exciting race to the finish. Drivers will have to be on their toes to make it by all the slower traffic they may come across, we are hoping for lots of lead changes and tons of passing fun.
