in the country and we have a great
“big buck” bracket program designed
just for you in 2024. MIR will once
again host the two King of the Creek
events on May 30th – June 2nd and
September 5th – 8th. After a
fantastic showing at the Footbrake

four two-day ET Blowout Weekends
with $5K to win in Top ET, $2K to

win with the Hubble Motorsports
Junior Dragsters each day. The first
Blowout of the season is the Opening
Blowout held April 6th-7th. The
Spring Blowout is held May 18th –
19th, the Summer Blowout is
September 21st – 22nd and the final
 blowout
of the year is the Fall Blowout on
October 26th – 27th. The Fall
Blowout will not be an MIR points
race, as this will conflict with the
WDRA World Finals. Racers at the
WDRA Sportsman Series will have a
chance at $5k to win in Top ET,
$2,500 in Mod ET and $500 in Junior
Dragster on August 16th – 18th.

 The
Late Model Performance Midnight
Madness Series and 1320 Fabrication

Collision are the backbone of our
schedule and they both promise to
continue delivering fun and friendly
competition for you and your family
to enjoy. Also, be sure to make
Budds Creek your destination when
you need to Test & Tune your car or
bike on select Friday nights and
Sundays.
We are excited to bring our racers,
fans, media, sponsors, and vendors
another great season of good times,
racing and fun at Maryland
