For Immediate Release
(Warrensburg, Missouri) The first of the big-three summer holiday two-night special events takes place this Saturday and Sunday at Central Missouri Speedway (CMS) over the Memorial Day weekend. All classes will compete under the POWRi sanctioning body in preliminary heat races, b-mains as needed, and main events.
Action begins Saturday with $1,000-to-win main events for B-Mods and Super Stocks. Pure Stocks, Midwest Mods, and Lightning Sprints will also take part in the night’s action. Then, on Sunday, the weekend concludes with a $2,000-to-win B-Mod special event, plus $1,000-to-win Super Stocks. Pure Stocks and Lightning Sprints will return for action. Midwest Mods will not compete on Sunday.
There are no “track registration” fees other than drivers paying their pit pass, which is $40. The only event entry fee for the weekend is for B-Mods for the Sunday event. The $75 fee covers the B-Mod driver’s pit pass and entry fee for the $2,000-to-win race.
