The IMCA Deery Brothers Summer Series has been acquired by the Malvern Bank Super Late Model (MBSLM) racing series, which is owned by Joe and Steve Kosiski and based in Omaha, Nebraska.

“It has been a great 33-year ride for this series and our traveling Late Model drivers,” IMCA President Brett Root said to IMCA.com. “The growth in Late Model sanctions, however, in 2019 demonstrated that we needed to commit our time and resources to further developing national and weekly race programs for that division.

“I firmly believe Late Model touring series across the Midwest need unification,” Root continued. “The Malvern Bank Super Late Model Racing Series has rules that accommodate IMCA Late Model members and this is a positive step in the right direction for those drivers who want to be part of touring events.” 

The IMCA Deery Brothers Summer Series, which was launched in 1987, is one of the longest-running Late Model series in the Midwest.

The series traveled to 42 different tracks primarily in Iowa and Illinois, with occasional visits to tracks in Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Typical car counts averaged at 35 entries.
