Speedway Modified Championship
by Andrew McNaughton/I-44 Speedway PR
LEBANON, MO (Aug 30) - Today the U.S.R.A has updated the Lebanon I-44
Speedway Modified points standings, and Tony Jackson Jr. claims the 2007
Modified championship. 2006 Modified champion Justin Neuman finishes just 2
points behind Jackson, narrowly missing a chance to win back-to-back
championships.
Jackson Jr. and Neuman went into the final points weekend at the Lebanon I-44
Speedway in a virtual tie in the U.S.R.A Modified points standings. While
Jackson won the modified feature, Neuman finished a close 3rd. The U.S.R.A.
awards points based on finishes, but also awards points based on other factors
such as passing points. As a U.S.R.A. sanctioned track, the Lebanon I-44
Speedway is able to offer additional championship prize money to their very
talented modified drivers.
Jackson Jr., Neuman, and all of your favorite Modified drivers will compete this
Friday night in a $1,000-to-win feature. The Lebanon i-44 Speedway welcomes the
MARS and MLRA Super Late Models Friday and Saturday night for the 5th Annual
Larry Phillips Memorial Fall Shootout. Friday night, the Late Models will run
heat and feature qualifying races, and the Modifieds will be in action as well.
Saturday night, it will be a $10,000-to-win 40 lap Late Model feature, as well
as feature races in the Factory Stock, B-modified, and Bomber classes. Gates
open at 5PM, racing begins at 730PM this Friday and Saturday night at the
Lebanon I-44 speedway, located off interstate exit 135 on old route 66.
Grandstand admission is only $10 Friday, and $20 Saturday, and as always, kids
12 and under are admitted free.
