The 18th stop on the inaugural USRA Heartland Modified Tour presented by Real Racing Wheels takes the series to the Osage Casino Tulsa Speedway in Tulsa, Okla., this Saturday, Sept. 28, for the first time.

Boasting an elevated purse with $3,000 spread from the third through 24th positions, track and series officials are anticipating a strong field of competitors.

Opened in July 2021, the Tulsa Speedway remains one of the newest dirt tracks in all of the country. They have been USRA-sanctioned since the start of the 2022 season and hang their hat on a weekly program with a few scattered specials.

This event will be the largest Modified show they've held to date.

Local businessman and drag racer Keith Haney owns the 200-acre facility, with a drag strip on the grounds as well. The quarter-mile dirt track has had a lot of money invested in it with some suites and concrete walkways in addition to the rest of the facility.

“We're really looking forward to visiting another new track,” said series director and partner Erick Chesterman. “Tulsa Speedway has been a good USRA sanctioned track and Tulsa is a hardcore racing town. We have some added money to help with travel expenses for teams too. It should be a great night.”

With only three races remaining on the 2024 calendar, Saturday's stop will be vital in helping sort out final championship positions.

Tyler Wolff leads the way, holding an 88-point lead over second-place Chad Wheeler. Third belongs to Brandon Givens with Henry Chambers holding down fourth and Tad Davis just 30 markers back in fifth.

Chambers is also leading the VP Racing Fuels Rookie of the Year chase.

The USRA Modifieds will be the headliner of the "Fall Brawl" with USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods and USRA Tuners competing for Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series track, regional and nationals points, along with local Factory Stocks also in action.

Gates open at 5 p.m., with hot laps at 6:30 and racing slated to fire off at 7.

For those unable to attend, RacinDirt.TV will have live coverage of the entire event.
