The Springfield Raceway presents the 2018 Season Championships on the quick quarter-mile this Saturday, Aug. 25, with added money in the Out-Pace USRA B-Mods which will battle for $400 to win and $50 to start.

Jackie Dalton seems to have wrapped up the track title and is currently ranked fifth in the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national points despite being involved in a wreck in his heat race last week.

Joplin's Justin Comer grabbed his first Out-Pace USRA B-Mod win last week and is ranked second in track points in his first season in a B-Mod for the Legends Car graduate. Comer pulled off double wins last week by capturing both features.

Another strong field of drivers are expected in the B-Mod class. Drivers will draw for heat positions and passing points will help set the feature.

Aaron Scroggins holds third in the standings and will also be competing in the Late Model class. The dog fight for fourth between defending champion Ryan Gilmore, Bill Schahuber and Rex Merritt can go either way for the spot.

The USRA Modified title was settled last week as Jody Tillman was crowned the 2018 track champion, and with a few more features he could land in a top-10 national finish. James Thompson finished the season second in points while Jim Body finished third. The USRA Modifieds will have this Saturday off while Late Models, Midwest Modz, Legends Cars and Pure Stocks will be in action.

The pit gate opens at 4:45 p.m. while grandstands open at 6. Hot laps are at 6:45 with racing slated for 7:15. Draw and check-in cut-off is 6:35. Grandstand adult admission is only $20 for this action-packed night at the track that never disappoints with kids 12 and under free. Pit passes are $35 with kids ages 6-12 just $15.
