USMTS RESCHEDULES THREE SHOWS, ADDS ONE AT LAKE OZARK
SPEEDWAY
WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (April 10)
– Less than 24 hours after pulling the plug on Friday night's show at the
Tri-City Speedway in Pontoon Beach, Ill., USMTS officials have announced
make-up dates for three rained-out events and have added a new stop to the
2009 calendar.
Due to wet conditions and
freezing temperatures, the program scheduled for March 13 at the Caney
Valley Speedway was postponed. The USMTS Casey’s General Stores National
Tour will now visit the 3/8-mile semi-banked oval in Caney, Kan., for the
first time on Thursday, May 14. As was the case in March, NASCAR veteran
Kenny Wallace will be in attendance to compete against the best of the best
in dirt Modified racing.
The event will be the first of
four straight nights for drivers in the Bear Tire Mo-Kan Region. Friday will
find the teams at the Midway Speedway in Lebanon, Mo., Saturday at the
Springfield (Mo.) Raceway and Sunday at the Monett (Mo.) Speedway.
After bowing to the will of
Mother Nature on two occasions already this season, drivers and fans are
hoping the third time's the charm when the USMTS Casey’s General Stores
National Tour invades the LA Raceway in La Monte, Mo., on Thursday, May 28.
That event will be followed up
on Friday, May 29, with the rescheduled event at the Tri-City Speedway.
On Saturday, May 30, the USMTS
Casey’s General Stores National Tour will trek to unchartered territory
again with a visit to the popular Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Mo. The
1/3-mile semi-banked clay oval offers a 75-foot-wide racing surface, with 10
degrees of banking in the corners and 5 degrees in the straight-aways. Built
in 2004, the state-of-the-art facility features seating for more than 5,000
fans, handicap parking and seating, a playground for children, MUSCO
lighting and closed-circuit TV.
The USMTS was scheduled to
christen the track one month after opening on June 20, 2004, but that event
was (you guessed it) canceled due to inclement weather.
With the rescheduled shows and
the addition of the Lake Ozark Speedway date, the total number of events for
the 2009 season climbs back to 93, including 63 for the USMTS Casey’s
General Stores National Tour and 32 for the USMTS Southern Series. Both
tours competed at the April 3-4 event at the West Siloam Speedway.
