Attica A-Main Challenge
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ATTICA, OH – Long time race fans can remember when the previous week’s feature winner had to start last in the following week’s feature. For 2026, Attica Raceway Park will incorporate a twist on that concept for weekly, non-sanctioned events.
“We are always looking for ways to add excitement to our racing program,” said Attica Promoter John Bores.
HOW IT WORKS
The winner of the previous weekly race will start sixth in the following week’s A-main if a two heat format is incorporated or will start eighth in the A-main in a three heat or more format. Sanctioned races such as the World of Outlaws, All Star Circuit of Champions and Iron Man series and the Attica John Bores Anniversary Special are not included in this format.
The previous week’s feature winner must make the redraw through their heat race. Also, Bores is offering bonus money. Should the driver come from the designated starting position (sixth or eighth) and win the A-main again, the driver will earn a $1,000 bonus (410 sprints); $750 bonus (late models) and $500 bonus (305 sprints).
Bores also announced the three weekly divisions of the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprints, the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Models and the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints will compete for a combined $50,000 point fund to be distributed to the top 10 in points at the end of the year.
Attica Raceway Park is set to open the 2026 season Friday, March 13.
Located in Attica, Ohio, Attica Raceway Park has been a cornerstone of dirt track racing since 1988 earning a reputation for competitive racing, dedicated fans, and a welcoming racing community.
