USRA LATE MODELS MOVE BLOOMFIELD DATE TO AUG. 24,
CREATES THREE-RACE SEASON FINALE
By: Jeff Nun
BLOOMFIELD, Iowa (April 3) -- Officials from the United States Racing
Association (USRA) have announced that the previously scheduled season opener
for the newly-created USRA Late Models has been changed. Originally slated for
April 20 at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield (Iowa) Speedway, the $3,000-to-win
inaugural event for the USRA Late Models will now be hosted at the Pepsi
Scotland County Speedway in Memphis, Mo., on Saturday, April 28.
The Bloomfield show has been moved to Friday, Aug. 24, thus creating an exciting
four-day, three-race season finale for the high-powered USRA Late Models. The
USRA Late Models will compete at the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa,
on Wednesday, Aug. 22, before returning to the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway
for the third time on Friday. On Saturday, Aug. 25, the freshman season for the
USRA Late Models will end the season where it started at the Pepsi Scotland
County Speedway.
All three events will pay $3,000 and will culminate with the crowning of the
first-ever USRA Late Model national champion.
The 2007 season will mark the first time that the high-powered Late Model
division will compete under the USRA banner. All headline events will carry a
top prize of $3,000 to win, while events co-headlined by the popular O’Reilly
USMTS Modifieds will pay $2,000 to win for both the USRA Late Models and the
O’Reilly USMTS Modifieds.
For more information, call the USRA headquarters at (515) 832-6000 or visit the
