Monett
Raceway Opens Pocketbook, Adds Three USRA Classes to
Saturday Lineup
Officials from the Monett Raceway announced this week
that the Medieval USRA Stock Cars will be a regular
fixture on Saturday nights during the 2023 season,
joining the USRA Modifieds and USRA B-Mods as they
battle for an industry-best track, regional and national
points funds in the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series.
In fact, the guaranteed weekly payouts and points
funds at the "Grand Ol’ Lady" are among the best in the
country. USRA Modifieds will race for $1,000 every week
while a $500 top prize is up for grabs in the USRA Stock
Cars and USRA B-Mods.
Monett Raceway weekly

USRA Modifieds – 1.
$1000, 2. $600, 3. $400, 4. $300, 5. $250, 6. $200, 7.

Note: Divisions which average less than 13 entrants
at any event will see first-place money eliminated and
all finishers moved down to the second- through
last-place amounts.
Not to be outdone, the
Monett Raceway is offering a stellar year-end points
fund for drivers in all three classes:
USRA Modifieds – 1. $4000, 2. $2000, 3. $1000,
4. $700, 5. $600, 6. $500, 7. $400, 8. $300, 9. $250,
10. $200.
USRA Stock Cars – 1.
$2000, 2. $1000, 3. $800, 4. $650, 5. $500, 6. $400, 7.
$300, 8. $200, 9. $175, 10. $150.
USRA

5. $500, 6. $400, 7. $300, 8. $200, 9. $150, 10. $125.
To be eligible for the complete points fund, a
racer must attend at least 75% of the events in 2023 to
receive full points fund payout. Also, each division
must maintain a car count of 17 or more each week.
Divisions which average less than 17 entrants will see
first-place money eliminated and all finishers moved
down to the second- through tenth-place amounts, which
still rivals any dirt track in the region.
Helping make it all happen, Purpose Wrecker is the title
sponsor of the USRA Modifieds for 2023 while Hughes
Racing Chassis, which is owned and operated by four-time
USMTS National Champion Jason Hughes, will be the title
sponsor of the USRA B-Mods during the 2023 racing
season.
"We want our weekly supporters to
understand the difficult task and understand that it’s a
tough decision but will be in the best interest of
Monett Raceway," said co-owner Scott Wheeler.
Slinging clay since 1970, Monett Raceway is the longest
continually-running dirt track in the Show-Me State.
Last year's Modified track champion was Aaron Scroggins
while 2011 USRA Modified National Champion Johnny Bone
Jr. finished third in the final standings. Jackie Dalton
captured the track’s B-Mod crown.
The 3/8-mile
red clay oval was built in 1970 by Bob Schofield of
Springfield who promoted the track for a couple of
years, but hall-of-famer Randy Mooneyham was at the helm
for the majority of Monett’s existence. The track was
sold to Kyle Slagle in 2017 before being acquired in
2023 by Wheeler and two other partners.
Along
with new ownership, the track got a fresh new name in
Monett Raceway. It was originally called Monett Speedway
and then Monett Motor speedway the previous five years.
The Monett Raceway is located just south of US 60 at
685 Chapel Dr, Monett, MO 65708. For more information
