Presented by Ninety One Syndicate, the event will be the first for the USRA Modifieds of the ARMS at the popular dirt oval.

With nine shows in the books and eight remaining, drivers will earn valuable Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national points in addition to ARMS points, and the winner will earn a $2,000 paycheck.

‘Big Daddy’ Joe Duvall of Claremore, Okla., leads the series points by 30 markers over Sean Gaddis and an additional 22 points ahead of his father and veteran racer Kenny Gaddis. Chris Dawson and Kale Westover round out the top five in the rankings.
