Danny Scrogham of Peculiar, Mo., takes to the high side of Central Missouri Speedway in his USRA Modified.

The Central Missouri Speedway season rolls on this Saturday night with Budweiser Night along with the Bud Girls to heat up early summer racing with USRA Modifieds and Out-Pace USRA B-Mods, plus Street Stocks, Midwest Mod-Lites and Pure Stocks. Last week so four new feature winners in victory lane out of the five main events.

Heading into the weekend, Odessa’s Jim Moody maintains his early season points lead by just 21 markers over last year’s champion Kevin Blackburn. Moody once again ranked in the top 20 of this week’s RacinDirt Power Rankings, the only driver in the Kansas City metro to be ranked among the best in the country. Terry Schultz appeared to be on his way to a certain victory last week but a mechanical failure on the final lap dropped him to fourth in the rundown. Schultz sits in third on this week’s point’s standings list just in front of Edgerton, Kan., driver Dalton Kirk. Former track champion Gunner Martin currently resides in the fifth position.

Although coming up just shy of claiming another feature win last weekend after Brad Smith posted his 27th career CMS win, Jacob Ebert now finds himself at the top of the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod standings by a mere three points over former leader Russell Niehoff of Lockwood. La Monte’s Cody Frazon stays in the thick of battle and sits firmly in third position followed by Harrisonville’s Cody Brill and leading rookie candidate Bob Nakoneczny of Warrensburg.

On Saturday, pit gates open at 4:30, grandstands at 5, driver pill draw closes at 6:15. Warning: late drivers will not be awarded passing points. The pit meeting takes place at 6:30, hot laps roll out at 7:00 and racing begins at 7:30.
