Medieval USRA Stock Car drivers are gearing up for one of the biggest paying races of 2023 for the full-fendered class on Tuesday and Wednesday August 1-2, at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Mason City Motor Speedway.

With $7,500 to win guaranteed and $675 just to take the green flag in the 50-lap main event, racers can enter the Big Fish for just $50 and be racing for $10,000 to win instead.

On Tuesday, each driver will battle in two heat races with the top ten in passing points locked in to that Wednesday night’s finale.

Drivers sitting 11-30 in passing points will run a preliminary feature with the top two also locked into the main event on Wednesday.

Those 12 drivers will compete in a dash on Wednesday to determine the A-Main lineup.
