Electric City Speedway, Mission 22 join forces Friday


This Friday, July 22 will be Mission 22 and Military Appreciation Night at the Electric city Speedway in Butler, Mo.

All current military and veterans will receive free general admission for a great night of Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series action featuring Medieval USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Mods, plus four other classes.

Mission 22 provides support to veterans and their families when they need it most: right now. Through a comprehensive approach of outreach, events and programs, Mission 22 is promoting long-term wellness and sustainable growth.

To date, more than 5,000 veterans and their families have been served with more than $10 million in funding from Mission 22 supporters.

There will be special drawings, raffles, and stickers on site.

Several sponsors have also stepped up to beef up this week's payouts for competitors. Medieval USRA Stock Cars will pay $750 to win, which is added on top of the normal payout so second place receive what the feature winner would normally get.

Practice is slated for Thursday, July 21, from 5 p.m. until dark.

On Friday, July 22, gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 7:30 and racing to follow. Medieval USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Mods will headline the program with Sport Compacts, Pure Stocks, Super Stocks and Midwest Mods also on tap.
