Racing action took place at the mighty Tri-State Speedway on Saturday night for the 47th Annual Firecracker Spectacular and 6th Annual Curtis Tennant Memorial with the Out-Pace USRA B-Mods going topless for a 40-lap $1,500-to-win feature.

Mother Nature kept up her mid to upper 90-degree temperatures without any rain at the speedway. Once again, the track prep crew had the track ready to go at race time, with no packing required from the drivers. The track was fast, wide and smooth.

The pre-race ceremonies began at 8:04 p.m. with the invocation from Vietnam Army veteran, Sonny Stephens. This was followed by a memorial reading in honor of the late Curtis Tennant. Many cars, including his brother Jeff, took to the track for a parade lap in his honor during the National Anthem performed by Sonny Stephens.

The Out-Pace USRA B-Mods advanced to their features heads up with an invert redraw that determined how many cars would be realigned. The B-Mods were lined up for their 40-lap $1,500 to win feature by passing points from their heat races.

The first main event was for the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod topless feature. Dakota Foster of Edgerton, Kan., headed to victory lane for the $1,500 paycheck. Brandon Wilson of Fort Smith, Ark., and Steve Muilenburg of Sparta, Mo., finished second and third.

Since this was not a points race, Daniel Tarkington of Checotah remains the class points leader heading into the next points race on July 14.

The 50/50 drawing was held right after the big B-Mod race. Thanks to Shamrock Bolt & Screw and Midwest Automation, who sponsored both Thursday and Saturday night’s racing action.

The next event for Tri-State Speedway will be on July 14 for the annual BACA (Biker’s Against Child Abuse) Kid’s Night and Bicycle Races. More information on all events can be found on our website and our social media channels.
