Springfield Raceway Adds To Ever Growing 2010 Schedule
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 Touring Series is always a popular draw pitting the traveling Modified stars against the tough weekly drivers. Last season in the 1st USMTS Event 4 time SpringfieldRaceway Champion Jackie Dalton earned the pole spot and lead the opening laps,but it was Springfield Driver Terry Phillips holding off repeated challanges from Jeremy Payne and Jason Hughes in topping the main event.

While the speedway will not be in action on Sat May 29 due to the running on the Show-Me 100,it will be in action with a special Monday event as it will play host to the final stop of the north-South A Modified Shootout paying $1,000 to win along with the running of the 1st annual PureStock Enduro Style 100 lapper paying $2,000 to win.Drivers will be running under their PureStocks tracks rules with only the first 60 Entries being taken.

2 more additional events added will see the Shoe-Me Racin Series LateModels coming back to the Raceway on Aug 14th along with points battles in the SportMods,The Newly formed MidWest Modz and StreetSocks.

Another new added date is the running of the INEX DirtCar Legend Nationals on October 15th and 16th with Qualifying races and support classes on the 15th with the 16 being the Main Events.

This will be the 1st time for the Raceway to hold this National event while it will be the third time for the state of Missouri as previous events were held at the Lucas Oil Speedway and the Lebanon Midway Speedway.
