WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (Feb. 16) – Regional alignments have been announced for the USMTS Casey’s General Stores National Tour, officials announced today.
For the 12th straight season, the rugged road warriors of the USMTS Casey’s General Stores National Tour will thrill race fans in America's heartland with an aggressive 2009 campaign which features 61 events at 40 different venues in 10 different States.
The schedule is highlighted with return engagements to 31 facilities that hosted a USMTS Casey’s General Stores National Tour event last season and seven new venues encompassing some of the most exciting dirt ovals in America.
In addition, three facilities return to the line-up after at least a two-year hiatus from the schedule.
“We’ve got a solid campaign put together for 2010,” said USMTS President Todd Staley. “Piecing together 60-plus shows while trying to balance the regions is a monumental task, but we are fortunate to be working with some great track promoters that are flexible and work hard to make every show a success.”
The rugged road warriors of the USMTS Casey’s General Stores National Tour will kick off the 2010 season in the Falcon Wind Power Mo-Kan Region at the Caney Valley Speedway in Caney, Kan., on Friday, March 12, followed by a date at the nearby Humboldt Speedway in Humboldt, Kan., on Saturday, March 13.

The Hunt for the USMTS Casey’s General Stores National Championship is comprised of the final 16-20 races of the season. The USMTS points system will be used at all regional events, with the top-10 in the final standings for each of the four regions earning a spot in ‘The Hunt.’ In addition, any driver who has perfect attendance in a region will also be qualified. After the completion of the regional schedule and base points have been established, the USMTS points system will be used at the remaining events for the drivers in ‘The Hunt’ to determine the 2010 USMTS Casey’s General Stores National Champion.
For the fans, the ‘The Hunt’ serves as a “playoff” for the ultimate prize in dirt Modified racing. While handicapping gives a slight advantage to the drivers that compete on the entire USMTS Casey’s General Stores National Tour circuit, any of the qualified drivers have a legitimate shot at capturing the crown.
Past USMTS National Champions include Shryock (1999-2006, 2009), Jason Krohn (2007) and Tim Donlinger (2008).
