The USRA American Racer Modified Series presented by Day Motor Sports will kick off the 2022 campaign this Friday and Saturday, March 18-19, at the Ark-La-Tex Speedway in Vivian, La.

A top prize of $2,000 awaits the driver who claims the checkered flag in Friday’s USRA Modified feature while Saturday’s main event winner will take home $3,000.

On Friday and Saturday, the pits open at 4 p.m., grandstands open at 5, hot laps begin at 6:30 and racing gets underway at 7:30.

Both nights, the USRA Modified main event will start 24 cars if there are 40 or less entered that night, or 26 if more than 40 are entered. Up to two series provisionals will be awarded for each main event. On Friday, provisionals will be based on 2021 ARMS final points.

Drivers are encouraged to get pre-entered for this event. Not only will you save on a two-day entry fee, but all pre-entries will also be eligible for one of three $100 cash drawings at the pit meeting both nights.
