An estimated crowd of 700 drivers, crew members and fans attended the Simmons Promotions 2002 awards banquet on Saturday, January 18th at the Palace ballroom at the Farley Speedway.

The top ten point finishers in each division at the three SPI operated weekly NASCAR sanctioned tracks were recognized and received plaques. In addition point fund monies were paid to all drivers in the top twenty in each class by NASCAR. In addition over $26,000 dollars were paid to drivers who took part in the two track program. The two track point fund monies were paid to drivers who raced both the Farley Speedway and the Dubuque County Fairgrounds Speedway. The two track point fund monies were sponsored by SPI, The East Dubuque Savings Bank, Vallet Food Service and a host of associate sponsors.

The combination of the two track point fund money and the NASCAR point fund pushed the total of point funds to well over $51,000 for the drivers 2002 accomplishments.
