MEMPHIS, Tenn. (October 3, 2012) – With the 2012 Summit Racing Equipment Tournament of Champions presented by AMSOIL just a few days away, hundreds of drivers from all corners of the United States and Canada are gearing up for one of the biggest and most exciting weekends in International Hot Rod Association history. 

And what better way to celebrate the finale another great IHRA season than with the richest sportsman weekend ever as drivers go to battle for over $200,000 in cash and prizes at the IHRA Summit Racing Equipment World Finals October 12-14 at Memphis International Raceway. 

The weekend will begin with the $5,000 to win, last chance TOC qualifier known as the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Spectacular presented by AMSOIL, followed by the invitation-only Summit Tournament of Champions presented by AMSOIL and Summit SuperSeries presented by AMSOIL and Moser Engineering to close the weekend. 

When all is said and done over $200,000 will be distributed and 10 drivers will walk away as the 2012 class of IHRA World Champions. Just like the famous college basketball tournament in March, IHRA's October Madness championship tournament is just as thrilling and just as nerve-racking as all of the best racers from 2012 come together in one place to compete for the world title.
