All classes will compete in full race programs; the list includes USRA Modifieds, Street Stocks (full show after makeup feature) Lightning Sprints, B-Mods, and Pure Stocks.

The Lightning Sprints are indeed lightning-quick at CMS with veteran Hall of Fame driver, Bobby Layne at the top of the point’s battle. Tony Layne is still within striking distance in the early season points. Lightning Sprint drivers received some exciting information this week when CMS announced that drivers will have a three-race miniseries to compete in.
