MEMPHIS, Mo. (April 23, 2005) -- More rain in the Memphis, Mo., area Saturday morning has prompted officials of the O’Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series to cancel the "J&J Ag/Travel Connection Super Saturday" event at the Bentz GM Country Scotland County Speedway.
Mother Nature did not cooperate with teams and fans on Friday, and repeated her tricks Saturday to force the cancellation of the entire weekend line-up.
The doubleheader event was scheduled to be the Rounds 9 and 10 of Wanders Automotive & Machine Swing #1. Information on make-up dates for "J&J Ag/Travel Connection Super Saturday" will be announced soon.
UP NEXT:
The O’Reilly USMTS returns to the Show-Me State in two weeks with a tripleheader journey to three of Missouri's finest dirt ovals.
On Friday, May 13, America's Premier Modified Series travels to the Bolivar Speedway for the "O’Reilly Auto Parts Spring Challenge" at the 3/8-mile high-banked clay oval. Bolivar Speedway is located 3 miles south of Bolivar on SR 13 to CR U, then west to Frontage Rd., then 0.3 mile south, then 0.5 mile west.
On Saturday, May 14, the teams head for the Lebanon I-44 Speedway for the "O’Reilly Auto Parts Spring Fling." Lebanon I-44 Speedway is located 6 miles northeast of Lebanon on I-44 to exit 135 (Sleeper), then north to Outer Dr., then 1.1 miles west on Historic US 66.
The three-race weekend wraps up on Sunday, May 15, with the "O’Reilly Auto Parts Spring Classic" at the Monett Speedway. The Monett Speedway is located 1 mile east of SR 37 on US 60, then north on Chapel Dr.
Each show will pay $2,000 to win and $200 to start the Holley "A" Main.
A field of 24 cars will start the Holley "A" Main each night, with qualifying through heat races and "B" Mains. The top 12 drivers in Home Pride Passing Points accumulated in the heat races will be locked into the Holley "A" Main. The top 8 drivers in Home Pride Passing Points will re-draw for starting positions 1-8 in the Holley "A" Main. An additional 10 cars will qualify from the "B" Mains, with two provisional starters added to the Holley "A" Main to create the 24-car starting field. Additional sponsor provisional(s) may also be awarded.
