WARRENSBURG, Mo.—Racing took place at Central Missouri Speedway in front of an enthusiastic crowd of dedicated race fans on Saturday on a rare perfect weather night for this season.

USRA Modifieds had their final weekend to prepare for the Tom Wilson Memorial BBQ Bowl over the Fourth of July Weekend. Tim Karrick claimed heat one with Robbie Reed and Danny Scrogham in close pursuit. Terry Schultz won in convincing fashion in heat two ahead of Luke Feeback and Earl Roark. The third heat of the night went to Matt Dotson ahead of Aaron Marrant and Kevin Blackburn. The final heat of the night had Robbie Test finishing ahead of Brian Johnson and Nick Pence.

The USRA Modifieds then completed the night’s racing events with their 25-lap main event. Karrick looked to be the early favorite in the one-caution event. Feeback looked strong in his first appearance in a few years. Robbie Test also stayed up in the top-five all night with a solid run. Brain Johsnon also had a solid performance.

Lapped traffic plagued Karrick as he tried to maintain the lead as Dotson went around him for the lead using the high line. Meanwhile, Schultz tried to move up some on the track but didn’t find it to his liking and slide back down low, eventually settling for third.

As the final double checkers of the night flew for the modified feature Matt Dotson claimed the victory for his first CMS win of the year. In victory lane, Dotson felt elated to come away with the win against a tough field of cars. Karrick hung on for second, Schultz was third, Test had his best CMS finish in fourth, while Aaron Marrant advanced to round out the top five.

Next weekend marks the Tenth Annual Tom Wilson Memorial BBQ Bowl with two nights of heart pounding USRA Modified events as well as a full night of action for both programs. Night one on Friday, July 3 features a $1,500-to-win Street Stock special and extra start money on the line for USRA B-Mods, who will be competing for track and national USRA points.

ULMA Late Models return for the second stop of their annual Triple Crown Shootout. An anonymous donor has added $50 for the winner, making the late model victory worth $650. The Allstar Midget Series is set to return for the first time this year after being rained out over the Memorial Day weekend.

USRA Modifieds have the featured race of the weekend when they compete in the 50-lap, $5,000-to-win and $1,000-to-start main event on Saturday evening. USRA Modifieds have two chances to make it on to the 24-car starting grid for the main event as drivers will complete in two rounds of heat races, and C and B features as needed to ultimately determine the inside row starts, 12 cars, on night one, and then coming back on night two to determine the outside row starting positions, eventually filling the field for the main event of the night. Saturday night will also feature a complete fireworks show for everyone to enjoy. On Friday night, join us for an after-race tech barn party with Char karaoke, which starts after the final checkered flag of the evening. Those attending the party are encouraged to bring their own chairs and beverages.

Track points and USRA national points will be awarded to both the USRA Modified and USRA B-Mod divisions on both nights.
