WARRENSBURG, Mo. -- Despite a few stray showers lingering in the local area, fans and drivers returned to Central Missouri Speedway (CMS) to watch exciting racing action for the weekly championship points feature events on Saturday evening.

CMS featured the USRA Modifieds, Street Stocks, B-Modifieds, Pure Stocks, and guest class Midwest Lightning Sprints for Better Country KIX 105.7 Radio Race Night. Overall, 75 drivers registered for another week of CMS racing action on the smooth clay oval.

Twenty-one USRA Modifieds were back at CMS after their big money Memorial Day Weekend special the previous weekend. Drivers were looking to dethrone Jim Moody after he claimed the $3,000 crown last Monday evening.

The heat races were once again a show in itself with Odessa’s Moody, Jason Bodenhamer of Centerview and Aaron Marrant of Orrick taking the checkers during the three contested heat races.

The 25-lap feature for $1,000 to win was another chance for a new driver to grab a feature victory. Gunner Martin looked strong early on and throughout the night as he jumped into the lead with Moody and Marrant hot on his tail.

After several cautions, Marrant moved into second with Moody close in tow. Moody passed Marrant after a restart until late in the race when Martin almost spun and slowed in turn two, but not coming to a complete full stop. Moody and Marrant had no place to go and spun to avoid the slowing Martin and had to go back the tail of the field.

Schultz grabbed the second spot on the late restart and he immediately shot to the high side and moved passed Martin with just a few laps remaining. Schultz barely squeezed by into his second feature win of the year with Martin a very close second, Shad Badder third, Tim Karrick fourth and Tyler Schmidt, who fought back from an earlier yellow, finished fifth, Eddie Bray, Dean Wille , Moody, Marrant and Nick Pence completed the top ten.

Next weekend is Cliff Harris Warrensburg Ford/Chrylser Dealership Race Night. Start times for the weekend include pit gates opening at 4:30 p.m., grandstands at 5, drivers meeting 6:30, hot laps at 7, and racing at 7:30. General admission for adults is $12, Military w/I.D. and Seniors 65+ $10, kids ages six to twelve $5, five years and under free!
