Wild Wednesdays return to Osky; Season opener May 12 at the Southern Iowa Speedway
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (May 7) – The longest and coldest winter that we’ve ever experienced seems to have finally melted away. As the temperatures begin to heat up, officials, fans, drivers and sponsors are anxiously looking forward to the best season ever at the Southern Iowa Speedway.
Five classes are on tap for the lidlifter at the Mahaska County Monster this Wednesday, May 12, with the USRA Weekly Racing Series featuring Musco USRA Modifieds, USRA Stock Cars, Carter's International USRA B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks, plus the first of several appearances this season by the Karl Chevrolet Dirt Truck Series.
Pits will open at 5 p.m., grandstands open at 5:30, hot laps begin at 7:15 and the first heat race starts at 7:30. General admission grandstand tickets are just $8 for adults, $3 for kids ages 6-12 and pit passes are $25. Children under 6 are always admitted free of charge.
Defending track champions at the Southern Iowa Speedway are Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon (Musco USRA Modifieds), Matt Greiner of Washington (USRA Stock Cars), Tyler Groenendyk of Oskaloosa (Carter’s International USRA B-Mods) and Nathan Wood of Keswick (USRA Hobby Stocks).
This year fans can witness the high-powered Late Models racing two times. Thursday, July 1, will be a must-see show as some of the top drivers will be on hand for the first of three days of racing over the Fourth of July weekend with the MARS Super Late Model Series. Then on Wednesday, July 21, KBOE Radio presents the Deery Bros IMCA Late Models at the Southern Iowa Fair.
The USMTS Modifieds will make two appearances this season with the final USMTS race on Sept. 1 being filmed as part of the Dirt Knights television program that will air in over 74 million households in January 2011. NASCAR veteran Kenny Wallace will be on hand for the fourth straight year and we are still working on details for yet another NASCAR driver to compete.
Also running with the USMTS Modifieds both times will be the new Dart Iron Man Challenge for USRA Stock Cars, which debuts at the May 26 event. This series will have 14-15 races and will take a driver’s best ten finishes for the year-end points fund awards, which includes a minimum $500 to win each event and at least $1,000 to the series champion.
Season Championships for the USRA Weekly Racing Series takes place on Wednesday, Aug. 25, and the curtain will close on the 2010 racing season with the thrilling 24th Annual Musco Lighting Fall Challenge on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 8-9.
