Josh Burton Racing

Is there a rainout record? Because we have to be getting pretty close... 🤦🏻‍♀️🌧️😩

Mother Nature just can’t seem to play nice, and the 13th Annual Burton Memorial has been postponed AGAIN. Mark your calendars for SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17TH… preferably in pencil at this point 😰😂

Huge thanks to Bloomington Speedway for continuing to work with us, and to everyone sticking it out through this apparently unlimited subscription to rain dates. Somebody please tell us where the cancel button is 🙄🧡💚

🧡💚 Before race day gets here, we need to take a moment to say THANK YOU.

There are so many moving pieces that go into the Josh Burton Memorial every year, but none of what you see advertised would be possible without the people and businesses who choose to be part of it.

These are the folks who helped us build the 2026 $10K TO WIN feature:

🏁 Quick Time Electric - Dave Anderson
🏁 Little Whippersnappers Daycare
🏁 Economy Termite and Pest Control
🏁 Thursday Night Thunder
🏁 Pritchett Brothers Roofing & Exteriors
🏁 Jackman Cattle
🏁 Freeman Land Improvement
🏁 Todd Septic LLC
🏁 Auto Body Specialists of Bloomington
🏁 Complete Masonry Supplies Inc.
🏁 Ty Deckard & Family
🏁 Wilson’s Trucking
🏁 Hinkles Hamburgers
🏁 Steve’s Roofing & Sheet Metal
🏁 Fox Construction
🏁 Bobby & Amy Gardner
🏁 Frank & Judy Sherfield
🏁 Mac’s Outdoors Service
🏁 Wray Automotive
🏁 John Shipley in memory of Josh Shipley

And then we had even more support come in to add some pretty awesome extra incentives:

💰 Additional $1,000 to Win - Andy & Kelly Sipes / Pennylanechildcare
🔥 $1,000 Hard Charger - Leslie & Terry Prince
⏱️ $500 Fast Time - Frank & Judy Sherfield
💰 $500 Worst to First - Lovett’s Construction
🏆 Henry Golden Boy Trophy R***e - Four Seasons Gun Shop, INC.

And that STILL isn’t everything 😅 We have Sponsored Finishing Position Pay, thanks to another huge group who jumped in to put EVEN MORE MONEY directly into the hands of every driver who makes the show.

We’ve also had some amazing companies donate gift certificates to be given away to the drivers in the pits:

Indy Race Parts• Saldana Racing Products• Drc Chassis Inc.• Competition Suspension Inc.• Benic Enterprises • Hinchman Indy • Keizer Racing Wheels

And of course, a huge THANK YOU to Bloomington Speedway for the money, time and behind-the-scenes work they put into making this night happen alongside us. There’s a whole lot of coordination that goes into an event like this, and we’re incredibly thankful to have their support each year 🏁

When you see $11,000 TO WIN, all the extra bonuses, sponsored positions and everything else surrounding this race, please know that it took a whole lot of people saying “we’ll help.” And that doesn’t even include all of the generous donations that have poured in for our FREE Fan Raffle!

So to every person, family and business who donated money, products, time, or simply stepped up when we asked… THANK YOU. We truly appreciate every bit of it 🧡💚

Now everybody keep those fingers crossed and let’s hope we get to put it all to good use tomorrow night 🤞🏼😅🏁

ONE MORE SLEEP, Y’ALL! 🤘🏼😎🏁

Tomorrow we hope to FINALLY throw down for the 13th Annual Josh Burton Memorial at Bloomington Speedway!

$11,000 to win, plenty of extra money spread throughout the field, and one last chance to watch that red clay FLY.
