Third time not a charm, Mason City USMTS event canceled

MASON CITY, Iowa (July 18) – Twice the USMTS Casey’s General Stores National Tour powered by Swan Energy has been rained out at the I-35 Speedway in Mason City, Iowa. The event was rescheduled for July 19, but track officials have pulled the plug on Tuesday’s impending show due to the continuing heat wave which is forecasted to bring temperatures in the upper 90s and a heat index of nearly 110 degrees.

A fourth attempt to get the show in will not be attempted this year.

On Wednesday the USMTS Modifieds make their way to the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, during the Southern Iowa Fair, and on Thursday will move 45 miles to the south with this year’s only stop at the Davis County Fairgrounds in Bloomfield, Iowa, and the final points race in the Arnold Motor Supply Central States Region.

The programs on Wednesday and Thursday will also showcase the Iron Man Challenge featuring USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars and USRA Karl Performance Parts B-Mods.

On Friday and Saturday, July 21-22, all eyes point to the inaugural Silver Dollar Nationals at the I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Neb., for a two-day event during the $25,000-to-win Late Model show that will close the curtain on the Farm Boy BBQ Sauce Great Plains Region.

The blockbuster event that everybody has been waiting for happens the following Wednesday through Saturday, July 27-30, as more than 150 drivers are expected to descend on the Deer Creek Speedway for the inaugural $20,000-to-win World Modified Dirt Track Championship presented by Hanson Tire Service.
