WARRENSBURG, Mo.—The last few weeks of the season are already upon us but that’s not slowing down Central Missouri Speedway as the track prepares to roll out another big event for drivers and fans this Saturday, Aug. 15.

The talent-deep USRA Modified contingent hasn’t disappointed fans over the last few weeks with exciting main events.

Last week, USRA national points leader Terry Schultz of nearby Sedalia flew the checkers over a strong field that included Kevin Blackburn, Jason Bodenhamer, Tim Karrick and Robby Reed.

One of the unique characteristics of CMS is its geographical location, which means drivers from all points of Missouri and Eastern Kansas often compete at the track.
