I-94 EMR Speedway in Fergus Falls, Minn., will honor a late track worker for its season-ending event, renaming the weekend the Scott Engfer Memorial Gopher Showdown with the blessing of the Engfer family.

The Oct. 10-11 weekend includes a $3,000-to-win WISSOTA Late Model event and a $1,500-to-win event for Viessman Trucking Gen X Late Models, a division Engfer created.

Opening night action will include the Late Model feature rained out on June 7. Practice is scheduled for Oct. 9.

Engfer died earlier this month from injuries sustained when his four-wheeler was struck by a race car as he crossed the track during I-94’s WISSOTA 100 weekend.
