For Immediate Release
(Warrensburg, Missouri) Central Missouri Speedway (CMS)
NASCAR Advance Auto Parts weekly race series.
A-Mods, POWRi Super Stocks, B-Mods, and Pure Stocks. NASCAR sanctions nearly 60 weekly tracks across North America. A-Mods will compete under Division I, with all other classes running under Division II.
Last weekend’s wet weather forced the postponement of the annual test ‘n’ tune session; however, drivers will have a chance to hit the track on Thursday evening April 15th prior to the weekend opener. On Thursday, gates open at 1 p.m. and practice will run from 4 to 7 p.m. The extra time will allow for drivers to get checked in and complete NASCAR paperwork, which takes approximately 20 minutes per driver. All pit passes for the test ‘n’ tune session are $25, grandstand admission for fans to watch the session is free on the pit side.
A track registration form must still be completed by all drivers, which is found under the drivers link at www.centralmissourispeedway.net. The form may be printed, filled out completely, and sent to the provided address. This will help ensure car class number is reserved for the race season for the driver.
NASCAR licensing details include $205 for Division I (A-Mod) drivers and $110 for Division II drivers (all other weekly classes). Crew licenses are available for $100. A 15-day temporary driver’s license is available for $50 or a one-night is available for $25. Benefits include participant accident insurance, discounts on NASCAR “Official Members” merchandise and access to NASCAR members website.
Pit passes for licensed NASCAR drivers and crews are $30 each week, non-licensed drivers and crew-member pit passes are $35. Special events are $35 for licensed and $40 non-licensed. Note, fees are subject to change per track. Drivers who are 14 and 15 must bring a certified copy of their birth certificate to compete. Drivers (and crew) are reminded to bring their temporary license on the first night if their official card does not arrive before opening night and to be prepared to show their license when purchasing their pit pass.
In recent weeks, several questions have emerged regarding points at the track. Licensed NASCAR drivers will compete for NASCAR points. The track will also award its own “track points” just as it always has. Lastly, Super Stock drivers who purchase a POWRi membership ($100) will earn POWRi Super Stock points. For POWRi membership information for Super Stock drivers, visit www.powri.com and click on Member Registration.
The complete purses are available under the Drivers link on the CMS website.
There are several job opportunities available at the speedway. Concession workers and ticketing personnel are needed to fill the slots available for weekly and special events racing throughout the season. In addition, Earl and Susan Walls are searching for a lead “short-order cook” (chef) and cook staff for the restaurant. Wait staff and licensed bartenders are also being sought to fill positions for Brew Pub 13. Visit the CMS Facebook page to complete the application process or call Susan at 816.229.1338 for details, no calls after 8 p.m. please.
