September 16, 2026 – Putting dirt on the Hawkeye Downs Speedway quarter-mile in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was thought of as a one-time deal in 2025. That was before the success it brought, and the Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders return to the “Downs” this Saturday night, September 19. Dirt on the quarter-mile will also continue into 2027.
Tasker Phillips tamed the quarter-mile a year ago, and will look to repeat on Saturday. The Pleasantville, Iowa native leads brother, Sawyer Phillips, by just 17 markers heading into the weekend. Just three races remain on the calendar, so Saturday’s tilt will play a big part in deciding a champion. Tasker has wrapped up his second consecutive Knoxville Raceway 360 track championship, and will try to repeat his 2025 glory with the Sprint Invaders as well.
Sawyer is coming off a win at the West Liberty Raceway on September 5, his second of the year with the Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders. Alex Vande Voort, Cody Wehrle and Dustin Clark complete the current top five in points, and Riley Scott, Jalen Alexander, McCain Richards, Lincoln Martin and Josh Schneiderman complete the top ten.
Hot laps are scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, with racing to follow. Admission is $20 for adults, $18 for Seniors, Vets and ages 9-17. Eight and under is FREE. Sport Mods, Legends, Vintage Cars and A.I.R.S. will also be in action.
