“This race means so much to our racing community,” said Brian Gibson, Race Director at Hawkeye Downs Speedway. “The Miller 100 is more than just a race. It’s a tradition that connects generations of drivers, fans, and families. Bringing it back in 2025 was special, and to continue that momentum into 2026 with the ASA Midwest Tour and Keg 1 Iowa as our presenting sponsor is something we’re really proud of.”
The ASA Midwest Tour will headline the evening, showcasing some of the region’s most competitive and recognizable drivers in super late model racing. Additional racing classes and event details will be announced in the coming weeks, offering a full night of entertainment for fans of all ages.

“KEG 1 Iowa is not just putting its name on the Miller 100,” shares Jerry Braatz, President of KEG 1 Iowa. “We fuel the energy that keeps this racing tradition alive and charging forward. The ASA Midwest Tour unleashes its horsepower at Hawkeye Downs, and the Miller 100 becomes more than a race. It is a battle fought at full throttle and where memories meet motorsports, where families cheer, generations connect, and the roar of the track becomes part of who we are. KEG 1 Iowa is thrilled to continue this long-standing partnership with Hawkeye Downs Speedway.”
In addition to the on-track action, the Miller 100 will once again support a local nonprofit organization, with the benefiting charity to be announced soon. This continued focus on community impact reflects Hawkeye Downs’ commitment to giving back while delivering premier racing entertainment.
