by: Ronnie Williams
SPRINGFIELD, MO (January 24) - Just after SpringfieldRaceway released the
Tenative 2010 Racing schedule at the Quick-Quarter 1 month ago,it then
dropped a bomb with the moving and announcement of the John Kuntz Memorial
as the date was moved from July 3rd to June 26 as it has become a challange
event between the MARS Super LateModels and the MLRA LateModels.
At the Ozarks Racing Reunion Sat night,Owners Jerry Hoffman and Doug Bland
have announced some added events and changes making the schedule one of the
most actioned packed in the Ozarks and Southwest Missouri.
The opening racing will be the March Madness on Sat March 27th as the
classes for that event have been announced with the popular Show-Me Racin
Series LateModels opening their 2010 season that night along with action in
the A-Mods(USRA Rules) the ever growing SportMods and the exciting
LegendCars completing the card.
Another well recieved date will be Sat May 15th as the USMTS Modifieds will
be invading the quick-quarter along with points action for the
SportMods,Legends,StreetStocks and PureStocks. The United States Modified

opening laps,but it was Springfield Driver Terry Phillips holding off
repeated challanges from Jeremy Payne and Jason Hughes in topping the main
event.
