Champions Crowned at Working Man’s $10 Grands

Jason Folk, Rich Komor, Joe Hoskins, and Mark Buttram took home big wins at the Inaugural Working Man’s $10 Grands bracket race at Wagler Motorsports Park.

LYONS, IN. – The Inaugural Working Man’s $10 Grands event hosted by Final Call Promotions was an overwhelming success. The big money bracket race, held at Wagler Motorsports Park, was well attended and received tons of praise from the participants.

With $10,000 up for grabs on Saturday and Sunday, around 220 bracket racers ascended on the Indiana facility for a weekend of fun and competition. The Final Call Promotions team, lead by Jake Hodge, kept the action moving and the track in great shape throughout the weekend.

The race was so well received, Jake Hodge and the team at Wagler Motorsports Park agreed to do it again in 2020. Mark your calendars for August 28-30, 2020 for the 2nd Annual Working Man’s $10 Grands.

The Working Man’s $10 Grands included $2,000 Gamblers races on Friday and Saturday night. Those events were highlighted by the two $10,000 main events on Saturday and Sunday.

One cool thing about the race was the No-Box winner had the option to take the $2,000 and walk away, or pay a small fee and join the Box class. Both No-Box winners paid the upgrade, joined the Box class, and both earned a spot in the $10,000 final round.

Final round coverage is listed below.
