Weekly racing returns this Saturday at CMS

WARRENSBURG, Mo.--After another night off last week for a wet weather cancellation, drivers, fans, and the staff of Central Missouri Speedway (CMS) are hopeful a dryer weather pattern will settle in and provide an opportunity for cars to hit the track this Saturday for Pepsi Night at the races.

All five weekly race divisions are set to return to action including the weekly $1,000-to-win USRA Modifieds plus Street Stocks, Lightning Sprints, B-Mods, and Pure Stocks.

USRA Modified drivers have one more chance to compete in a second weekly race program this weekend and in the process save on their entry to the upcoming Twin $1,500-to-win feature events over the Memorial Day weekend. All USRA drivers may compete throughout the holiday weekend but only drivers with at least two appearances in a USRA Modified at CMS prior to the events will save $50 on their entry.

Everything you need to know about the Memorial Day weekend at CMS is located on the track’s website by selecting the tab entitled “Memorial Day Weekend Headquarters.” There, you will find an event flyer, Modified entry form, order of events, and a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document containing everything from admission prices and driver information to a full run down of all division race purses for the weekend. For more information visit CMS online at or on race day call 660-747-2166.

Many of the same drivers expected to compete in the special events weekend will be on hand this Saturday night at CMS in the weekly point’s championship events with Basehor, Kansas driver Tim Karrick showing the way in the USRA Modifieds. Close behind Karrick are fellow Kansans Dalton Kirk and Lewis Jackson with Gunner Martin and Richard Layne rounding out the top five.

The "CMS Victory Lane Kids Club" continues this week with another winner to help with activities at the track including guest flagging and trophy presentations. It’s absolutely free for kids 12 and under to sign up. Plus, the winning kid of the week will be presented with a medal for having their name drawn! Look for additional registration details for kids this weekend on both sides of the grandstand.

Pit gates will open at 4:30 p.m. this Saturday followed by grandstand admission beginning at 5 p.m. General Admission for adults is $12, Military members w/I.D. and College Students w/I.D. $10, Kids aged 6 to 12 just $5, Children 5 and under are free. Driver's pill draw closes at 6:15 (no passing points awarded if late), Driver's Meeting 6:30, Hot Laps at 7, and Racing at 7:30.
