For Immediate Release
(Warrensburg, Missouri) And then there were three … three weeks of weekly championship points races left at Central Missouri Speedway (CMS) for the 2023 season. Although racing continues through mid-September in non-track points-earning events, by the end of August, the track champions will be determined.
All four divisions, including B-Mods, Super Stocks, Midwest Mods, and Pure Stocks will race throughout the night in full programs of heat races and main events. The Midwest Lightning Sprints are also set to compete as they return to CMS for the first time in many weeks. All divisions will compete for national POWRi points.
Sturgis Streeter won last week’s B-Mod main event and extended his point’s lead over Stephen Clancy, who is still within striking range of the championship. Aaron Poe appears to be on his way to another CMS championship with a commanding lead over Blaine Ewing in Super Stocks. Spencer Reiff leads Terry Moss in the Pure Stock standings. Dustin Dennison currently leads David Wood in the Midwest Mod standings.
There are no entry fees or “track registration” fees for any class (for the remainder of the year) other than the driver pit pass, but drivers will still be required to complete applicable yearly paperwork. ALL drivers in all divisions must possess a current and active POWRi membership license, which is available on-site or prior to the event visiting www.powri.com. The cost of the license is $100 and must be paid prior to racing.
