Other M.A.R.S. competitors expected include Will Vaught (Missouri), Jack Sullivan (Arkansas), Brandon McCormick (Missouri), Terry Phillips (Missouri), Jeremy Payne (Missouri), and many more.
The M.A.R.S. competitors will square off against a strong field of opponents from the M.L.R.A. tour, led by point’s leader Alan Vaughn from Belton, Missouri. A strong contingent of regional competitors is also expected to be on hand to challenge the touring drivers in the $3,000 to win/$500 to start event.
