Tradition continues for modified special events this Saturday night May 24th at Warrensburg’s Central Missouri Speedway when promoters Earl and Susan Walls welcome drivers and fans for a special $2,000-to-win race for the ‘Mighty’ Modifieds. The rest of the payout is: $1,500-second, $1,000-third, $900-fourth, $800-fifth, $700-sixth, $600-seventh, $500-eighth, $400-ninth, $300-tenth, $200-eleventh, $100 to start. This weekend’s CMS/Kenny’s Tile racing program also includes ULMA Late Models, Street Stocks and B-Modifieds. This race is not a track point’s night for the modifieds; however, all other classes will compete for weekly points. If weather were to be a factor on Saturday, the event will take place the following night, Sunday, May 25th, at the same applicable times.
Heading into this weekend’s race, which according to track statistician Glyda Jaeger is the thirty-first modified special ever held at the speedway over the last ten years, over 260 different drivers have raced at CMS during the modified specials. The events are held annually in conjunction with the three main summer holidays. For drivers who have competed in at least two races at CMS this year, there is no entry fee; for drivers who have not competed in at least two races prior to this weekend there is a $100 entry fee. Past Memorial Day weekend winners include Dave Meyer, 5-time track champion Richard Layne, and Dustin Boney, to name a few.
After last week’s action, 2006 Modified champion Aaron Marrant sits atop the standings after a convincing feature-race victory Saturday night. Dustin Boney, who was runner up to Marrant last week in the main event, sits in second position just ahead of Donnie Dannar, Josh Stephens and Dave Meyer. Jon Binning rides high in the ULMA Late Model standings ahead of David Angell, Randy Ainsworth, Jason Bodenhamer and Kevin Coyne. In the Street Stocks, Warrensburg driver Marc Carter holds the point ahead of Herb Dannar, defending track champion Brian Johnson, and Oak Grove drivers Nic Bennett and John Miller. So far in 2008 Scotty Martin of Independence is three-for-three in B-Modified feature wins and he sits in the driver’s seat ahead of Rusty Trimble, Jeremy Lile, Michael King and Owen Evinger.
Admission info for this weekend: $15 for general admission; seniors 65 and up and military or students with I.D. $12; kids ages six to twelve $10; and children 5 and under are free; pit passes are $30 this weekend. Pit gates will swing open at 4:30, admission gates open at 5, hot laps start at 7 and qualifying heat races get underway at 7:30.
