Early entry
deadline Oct. 3 for King of America Modified Nationals
HUMBOLDT, Kan. (Sept. 30) -- The Humboldt Speedway in Humboldt, Kan., will
host the inaugural King of America Modified Nationals, Wednesday through
Saturday, Oct. 19-22, with a whopping $15,000 going to the winner and each
of the main event qualifiers pocketing a minimum $1,500.
Sanctioned by the United States Modified Touring Series, the one-of-a-kind
blockbuster event is expected to attract the biggest names in open wheel
dirt modified racing, and many of the sport’s most talented drivers are
already pre-entered.
Early entry for drivers is just $250, but ends this Monday, Oct. 3, at 5
p.m. Central Time so drivers are encouraged to call, fax or email their
entry as soon as possible to get registered for the best price.
The entry form is available online at
http://www.usmts.com/Documents/entry_20111019-22.pdf. Mail your
completed entry form to P.O. Box 905, Webster City, IA 50595 or fax to
515-832-7958. You can also register by calling the USMTS headquarters at
515-832-7944.
After Monday, the entry fee increases to $300. At the pit gate on race day,
the price goes to $400.
The program will be similar to the World Modified Dirt Track Championship
that was held at the end of July at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring
Valley, Minn., with a few different twists and format changes from the
successful show that drew more than 150 entries.
Drivers register to qualify on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, but may also
purchase a “mulligan” that allows them to attempt to qualify a second day if
they aren’t satisfied with their result on their first day. Mulligans are an
additional $100, must be purchased at the time of entry and are
non-refundable.
Group time trials will be staged each of the three days along with heat
races and main events with drivers earning points for their performances in
each. The top-6 points earners each day will earn one of 18 guaranteed
starting spots in Saturday’s championship main event, with the highest
overall points earner during the three days of qualifying garnering the pole
for the big dance.
Saturday’s program will feature an “alphabet soup” of main events that will
culminate with a 30-car starting field for the championship race that will
feature a three-wide start. Even if a driver has some tough luck during
qualifying, he or she still has the chance to climb the ladder of main
events on Saturday to earn a spot in the finale.
The driver that advances the most positions throughout Saturday’s main
events will earn an extra $500.
Modifieds will be the only class running during this event.
Nearly $80,000 has been earmarked for Saturday’s “A” Main alone, with a
total purse of more than $130,000 posted for the four-day extravaganza.
