July 6, 2026 – The County Fair dates are upon the Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders with a pair of dates this Thursday and Friday! The Cedar County Fair and the Cedar County Raceway in Tipton, Iowa is up first on Thursday, July 9. The Lee County Fair and the Lee County Speedway in Donnellson, Iowa follows on Friday, July 10.
Weather has plagued the series lately in its attempts to race on the quarter-mile in Tipton, but this marks the thirteenth time it has visited. Two-time winners over the years have included Kaley Gharst, Ryan Jamison, Bobby Mincer and Terry McCarl. Jack Dover, John Schulz, Chris Martin and Bill Balog have also won in Tipton with the Sprint Invaders.
Hot laps start at 6:30 p.m. Thursday. Admission to the races is included with your admission to the Cedar County Fair. Admission before 5 p.m. is $10 for adults and $5 for Seniors (65+) and Kids (6-16). Five and under are FREE. Add $5 for admission after 5 p.m. IMCA Modifieds, the American Iron Racing Series (A.I.R.S.), Midwest Jalopies and a Sheriff’s Race are also on the card.
Friday will be the 55th time the Sprint Invaders have run at Lee County Speedway’s 3/8-mile oval. Cam Martin won his first ever Sprint Invaders feature there in May. Gharst leads the all-time win list there with six, followed by Schulz (5), Matt Sutton and McCarl (4) and Jeff Mitrisin and Randy Martin (3). Two-time winners include Bobby Hawks, Jesse Giannetto, Russ Hall, Paul Nienhiser, Josh Schneidderman and Colton Fisher.
Grandstands open at 5 p.m. Friday with hot laps scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Sport Mods, Stock Cars and Four-Cylinders will also be in action.
