The next weekend MSCS and USAC will join forces to present racing at
Bloomington Speedway on Friday April 17th and then at Tri-State
Speedway the next night, April 18th. The series will next
spring back into action the last weekend of April. The Spring Fling
at the Terre Haute Action Track on Sunday the 26th will include the
King of Indiana Sprints series battling with MSCS on the half mile.
It will be the only half mile track that MSCS will race on during the
year.
The MSCS series will be racing at Montpelier Motor Speedway on
Saturday night May 2nd. This appearance will take the series North
of Indianapolis for the first time in years. MSCS made its only
appearance at Montpelier in 2001. Officials are looking forward to
this opportunity.

title is once again his to defend in 2015. It was his fourth MSCS
series title. James Lyerla of Hillsboro, IL, was named as the 2014
MSCS Rookie of the Year. A new group of drivers will be emerging in
the coming season to challenge for Rookie of the Year honors!
Four new race dates have been added to the tour and six race dates
have been adjusted to improve the overall schedule. The shows
co-sanctioned with USAC or part of the KISS schedule will continue
to add to the challenges already facing the drivers at their every
appearance. Season FIFTEEN for MSCS begins April 11th. Promoters
are offering purse money totaling nearly a quarter of a million
dollars over the season.
If any changes or additions are necessary to the schedule, a news
release will be issued at that time. Everyone can keep up with MSCS
