The 2004 IPOWER Dash Series was the only season of the IPOWER Dash Series. It began at Daytona International Speedway on February 8 and concluded at Kentucky Speedway on September 18. Johnny Chapman won the championship by a mere 8 points over Danny Bagwell.
Following the 2003 Goody's Dash Series season, NASCAR sold the series to IPOWER (International Participants Of Winning Edge Racing) for 2004. [1] However, the season was marred by a crash that occurred at the season opener at Daytona on lap 19, when Ray Paprota, who was unable to start the race until that point due to mechanical issues, crashed into track worker Roy Weaver, killing Roy instantly. [2] Following the crash, the series lost so much funding that they were forced to cut the season short after seven races. The series was sold to ISCARS (International Sports Compact Auto Racing Series) the following year.
