By Sam Stoecklin
Public Relations/Announcer

SEDALIA, MO (February 3) - The countdown is well underway for the first green flag of the year to wave over the Historic Half Mile at Missouri State Fair Speedway with just 73 days remaining until the season begins on Friday, April 16th. Before the dirt begins to fly, drivers have the opportunity to register for competition for the weekly racing divisions at this weekend’s registration and rules review meeting. Sprint Car, Late Model, and A-Modified drivers may complete their forms at the meeting this Saturday, February 6th on the Missouri State Fairgrounds. The meeting takes place at the MoDOT Highway Gardens Building from 10 a.m. to noon; the building is located south of the intersection of Elm and Missouri street; visit www.mostatefair.com  for a detailed map. Promoters Reid Millard and Jason Bodenhamer, along with the speedway’s officiating staff, will answer questions and free coffee and donuts will be offered during the meeting. Competitors in all three weekly divisions are required to register for the season. The registration fee is $50 if paid prior to March 1, after the deadline, registration increases to $60. The track’s general rules, division rules, and the 2010 events schedule are available for preview online at www.mostatefairspeedway.net. All documents will be available in printed form at the meeting. For competitors unable to attend this weekend, registrations may be mailed with check or money order to Top Tier Promotions, 680 NW County Road M, Centerview, MO 64019.

During last weekend’s racers auction and trade show a few drivers completed the registration process. The list of pre-registered drivers has several familiar names and some new names on it including Curt Potter, Scotty Roberts, Jim Moody, Buddy Thompson, Jamie Ragland, Jason Thompson, Howard Hall, Dennis Walrath, Jason Sivils, John Schneider, Chris Coleman, and veteran late model racer Randy McGraw. The list does not guarantee driver appearances at the speedway. The response and feedback at the speedway’s vendor table at the auction was outstanding from drivers and race enthusiasts alike as the excitement continues to build towards opening night. The United Late Model Association (ULMA) informed Missouri State Fair Speedway co-promoter Jason Bodenhamer that it will award championship points to its member drivers who choose to compete in the track’s late model division. In the coming weeks, details regarding the track’s car show and lone test and tune session on Saturday, April 10th will be unveiled.

The event schedule gets more exciting with each update, the latest of which is the addition of the non-winged Lucas Oil Sprint Bandits, which make their way to the speedway during the Missouri State Fair on Tuesday, August 17th along with the Mid America Modified Series. The previously announced July Midwest Latemodel Racing Association (MLRA) date has been changed by request of MLRA. All total, the MLRA has three dates at the speedway, which include Friday May 21st, Friday June 25th, and Sunday, August 22nd. The National Championship Racing Association (NCRA) late models join MLRA for the co-sanctioned August 22nd event, which also features the Winged Outlaw Warrior (WoW) sprint cars closing out the Missouri State Fair. The track’s A-Modifieds will support the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars when they return to the speedway on Wednesday, June 16th. There are a total of 18 race nights scheduled at the speedway for 2010.
