Format will be an open draw with passing points and top six or eight qualifers will redraw for feature race lineup.

Bud Perry owned Bud’s Tire & Wheel at Grant Avenue and College Street (Route 66) since 1958. His business was one of Springfield’s first to offer custom wheels. He welcomed visitors to his shop and invited them to take photos of those murals. Perry also was known in the area as a racer. In 2002, he was inducted into the Ozark Area Racers Association, Racing Pioneer Award and John T. Woodruff Award, which recognizes Springfieldians’ contributions to Route 66. He loved helping numerous charities including the ANPAC Car Show, Junebug Jamboree and Relay for Life among others. Leslie “Bud” Perry, 79, of Springfield, Mo., peacefully entered into his heavenly home on Jan. 23, 2017.
