The track was closed for more than five years, but new owner Bob Goins pumped new life (and a lot of money) into the facility and re-opened on April 2 to much fanfare.
The track has already held a World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series race earlier this year, and now welcomes the best of the best in dirt modified racing to the steep, lightning-fast clay oval.
Local favorites such as Joe Duvall, Mike Duvall, Ryan LaCoe, Brett Hansen, Mike Worblewski, Randy Frailey, Jeremy Rasmussen, Danny Womack, Roger Sawyer, Mark Cochran and others will be looking to keep the bulk of the prize money in the Sooner State.
Saturday’s event will also feature four of the track’s regular weekly classes, including Grand Nationals, 360 Modifieds, Factory Stocks and Pure Stocks.
Pit gates will open at 2 p.m., grandstands open at 5, hot laps begin at 6:30 and race time is 7 p.m.
Among the track's great features is the Finish Line Bar & Grill, which gives fans access to the comfort of indoor climate, a full service bar and grill and great views of beautiful Lake Hudson while enjoying the racing action. Admission is $25 and the area can accommodate up to 80 race fans. The gift shop is stocked full of merchandise sure to please every race fan with tons of selections and designs for men, women and children.
The Salina Highbanks Speedway is located 7 miles east of Pryor on SR 20. For more information, call the track office at 918-434-RACE or visit the track’s website at www.salinahighbanksspeedway.com.
SUNDAY, SEPT. 18 – WEST PLAINS MOTOR SPEEDWAY, WEST PLAINS, MO.
After an off-season that was busier than most tracks are during the height of the racing season, the new owners and management of the West Plains Motor Speedway welcomed fans, drivers, crew members, sponsors and their families to the first night of weekly racing on April 2.
Thousands of hours and dollars later, dozens of renovations and upgrades have given the popular dirt track new life.
The West Plains Motor Speedway is a 100-acre motorsports facility with weekly racing action on Saturdays that features several exciting classes, including the popular USRA RHS Modifieds which boasts one of the highest weekly car counts for the division in the nation.
Drivers from West Plains such as track points leader Brandon Ball, Jason Hughes (same name, but not the same guy who has 103 career USMTS victories), Greg Hughes, Logan Martin, Josh Hughes, Matt Barry, Kyle Duke and Brian Judd are the drivers expected to battle to keep the bulk of the prize money in the Show-Me State.
Other locals to keep an eye on include veteran racers Rob and Stephen Muilenburg of Sparta, Scott Crigler of Alton, Rustin Miller of Houston and Carl Murphy of Caulfied.
And with a $2,000 bonus posted by track promoter Sonny Smith to any driver from Missouri or Arkansas taking the checkered flag this Sunday, fans can expect to see some heavy hitters like Terry Phillips and Jeremy Payne of Springfield, Austin Siebert of Grandview, Mark Dotson of Cameron, Mickey Burrell of Fair Grove, Terry Beckham of Webb City, Chad Lyle of Oak Grove and USRA RHS Modified national points leader Johnny Bone Jr. of Pea Ridge, Ark.
In addition to the $2,000 winner’s bonus, a $250 start bonus has also been posted for any local driver who has competed at the track at least six times during the 2011 season.
Presented by Mega Motorsports and Honda of West Plains, the event will also feature the Air Evac Lifeteam Weekly Racing Series classes featuring Crate Late Models, Reliable Chevrolet B-Mods, Super Stocks and Hobby Stocks.
Race time is 7 p.m.
Dustin Boney and his #22 Snickers Modified will be at the Casey’s General Store located at 100 Cherry St. in Allison from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. prior to the event. Fans can meet the driver, get an autograph or just check out the machine he’ll be wheeling that night at the West Plains Motor Speedway.
Motorsports enthusiasts are amazed at the power and excitement of racing on the 3/8-mile red clay oval surrounded by seating that will accommodate more than 12,000 fans. Fans can enjoy the action from their choice of molded contour seating, ground level bleachers or high-rise stadium style seating.
On-site camping is available free of charge with clean restrooms, showers, water fill and a dump station for motor homes. Full service food and souvenir concessions are conveniently located within the facility along with acres of free parking.
The West Plains Motor Speedway is located 6 miles south of West Plains on US 63. For more information, call the track office at 417-522-9891 or 417-257-2112 on race day. The track's website can be found at www.westplainsdirt.com.
