The weather for racing was perfect on night one for the highly anticipated 12th Annual Tom Wilson Memorial BBQ Bowl as race fans and drivers kicked off a holiday weekend of special events at Central Missouri Speedway.

There were 94 drivers on hand racing their way through heat races and features.

The USRA modifieds competed in a series of heat races, a B-main, and a 20-lap scramble which qualified 12 drivers on the inside row for tonight’s $5,000 to-win feature. Matt Dotson earned the inside poll with Johnny Scott, Stormy Scott, Terry Schultz, Chad Lyle, Dalton Kirk, Shad Badder, John Allen, Tim Karrick, James Dean Eaton, Nathan Vaughn and Dennis Elliott filling out the remaining inside row starting positions. Jim Moody qualified but then relinquished his starting spot and will try again tonight during an all-new round of qualifying for USRA Modifieds.

Out-Pace USRA B-Mod drivers competed against a field of 23 drivers registered for racing. During the three qualifying heat races, Jake Richards outlasted Brad Smith and grabbed the opening heat race. Steve Clancy hung on ahead of Jacob Ebert and took the second heat race checkers. In heat three. Kameron Grindstaff bested Rex Harris and earned the final heat win.

The Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature commenced with Richards in command with Harris and Smith in close pursuit. After several cautions, Richards stayed up front as the top five changed after Smith was involved in a spin in turn two after close racing contact with Clancy. Ebert entered as the next contender along with Clancy and Cody Brill. In the end, Richards never relinquished the lead and hung for his fifth win at CMS. Ebert remained in second with a good run followed by Cody Brill, Steve Clancy and Cody Frazon.

This week during the USRA Modified heat races, the fans reacted enthusiastically to some of the best racing of the night as 30 drivers attempted to qualify for the inside row top 12 starting spots for Sunday. Kirk grabbed the first heat ahead of Tyler Schmidt. Then Johnny Scott took the checkers in heat two in front of Schultz. The third heat belonged to Dotson who claimed the win with Stormy Scott and Allen close behind. The final heat had Moody take the win over Cory Wray and Badder. In the B-main, Brian Johnson, Vaughn, Elliott and Eaton transferred into the 20-lap scramble.

At the start of the scramble, Johnny Scott took the early lead with Dotson battling with him for the lead. Dotson made a clever move in turn four on lap four after some great lane-swapping racing between Johnny Scott and Dotson. Meanwhile behind the leaders, Stormy Scott, Schultz and Moody battled in the top five. Chad Lyle also made his presence known as he climbed past Moody into the top five. After two late race cautions, Dotson took the victory as he kept all challengers behind and him and claimed the inside row one starting position for tonight’s 50-lap Tom Wilson Memorial BBQ Bowl feature. Joining Dotson on the inside row for tonight’s finale are Johnny Scott, Stormy Scott, Schultz, Kirk, Badder, Allen, Karrick, Eaton, Vaughn and Elliott.

For Sunday’s race program, USRA Modifieds return for a second night of action in which drivers will compete for the outside row starting positions through a series of heat races, b-main if needed, and the night two 20-lap scramble. The finale of the night will be the 50-lap, $5,000-to-win, $1,000-to-start main event. Midwest-Mod Lites return for their $1,000-to-Win main event on night number two.
