Open-Wheel Modified teams are set to take the stage at Columbus Speedway on Saturday Night, August 7th for the "Modifed Mayhem 20" special event. Drivers in the wildly-competitive division will light up the racey high banks of Columbus as they fight over the $1,000 winner's share. Event after event, the Modified division has proven to be one of the most competitive and exciting divisions at Columbus Speedway of late, and with extra money and prestige on the line, the table is set for an open-wheel event to remember.
The championship event is expected to draw a strong field of drivers from throughout the mid-south area plus the potent local Columbus Speedway contingent which should make for one fine show. While the Columbus local group always proves to be a strong challenge, Open-wheelers from Tennesee, Alabama, and even Arkansas as well as other areas regularly make the trip to Mississippi for special Modified events and are always in the hunt for the big money.
The high impact show will also feature the Cajun Sprints competing in heats races and a 25-lap A-Main event. presented by Columbus Nissan.
