Great racing, exciting racing, competitive racing, side-by-side racing... it's all this Saturday, Aug. 26, at the I-35 Speedway in Winston, Mo., on Hwy 36 Auto & Diesel Night featuring the Mike Knight Memorial.

Racing family means a family that loves first and foremost. What ties us together at I-35 Speedway is our sport, the excitement, fun, speed and thrills, but we become family, race fans, racecar drivers, pit crews, officials and owners.

Our racing family celebrates the memory of former dirt track guru Mike Knight with bonus money from the Knight family padding the purse.

Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series classes racing this weekend include USRA Modifieds, Medieval USRA Stock Cars and USRA B Mods. Pure Stocks, Sport Compacts, E Mods, Limited Late Models, Vintage Open and Junior Sport Compacts are also on the card.

Pit gates open at 4 and grandstands open at 4:30. Pill draw closes and drivers meeting happens at 6. Hot laps are immediately after drivers meeting with the last session taking the track at 6:50. Racing starts at 7p.m.

Be there this Saturday for the last race of August before we move to September racing starting on Sept. 2.
