The record wins in a single season was six, which was accomplished by Danny Dvorak in both 1999 and 2000, plus Shawn Stinger in 2002. Dvorak is the only driver who is the all-time wins leader in two separate divisions at the speedway. He also leads the way among IMCA SportMod drivers.

After some thought, I decided to head to Buena Vista Raceway in Alta tonight for the JR Motorsports Hawkeye Dirt Tour special. I'm looking forward to my first trip to BVR since a July 4th special back in the early 2000s. A recap will be available overnight tonight or sometime tomorrow.
