Wed 6-25-2025

A five-figure payday and more is up for grabs when racing returns to Jackson Motorplex on July 11.

The Hefty Seed Merle Johnson Memorial presented by DKW Transport features a $10,000 top prize for the winner of the Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars main event, which pays $1,000 to start. There will also be a $200 bonus for quick time courtesy of Nordica Warehouses.

The event is the first night of a three-race Border Battle that weekend with shows on July 12 at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, and July 13 at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D. 

GRP Motorsports is providing each team that competes in all three nights with $800 in tow money.

The event on July 11 is the first of five races for the MSTS 410 Sprint Cars at Jackson Motorplex this season. The Heser Auto & Detailing RaceSaver Sprint Cars will also be part of the program.
