RPM Speedway
To Host Both Nights of USMTS Texas Spring Nationals
February 26-27
CRANDALL, Texas
(February 11)
— A late
change in plans will see both nights of the 11th Annual
USMTS Texas Spring Nationals take place at the RPM
Speedway in Crandall, Texas, on Friday and Saturday,
February 26-27.
Saturday’s show was originally
slated to happen at the Big O Speedway in Ennis but is
unable to take place due to unforeseen circumstances,
therefore the RPM Speedway will keep the doors open one
more night and double the wow factor at the Kevin Rogers
and Kevin Sustaire’s bullring.
Dirt modified racing’s best of the best will bang wheels
for $10,000 to win each night as the biggest, boldest
and richest season in the 22-year history of the Summit
USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s lights the
fuse in the Lone Star State.
Adding to the
spectacular racing program for fans and competitors, the
3rd Annual King of the Hill, 6th Annual Smackdown and
5th Annual Battle Royal will also be a part of the
event. Those annual favorites were “snowed out” this
week at the RPM Speedway.
The undisputed
heavyweight champions of dirt modified racing will make
first contact with the clay on Thursday when the track
hosts an open practice and King of the Hill prior to the
season-opening battle on Friday night.
Twenty-four hours later, the USMTS Modifieds will take
to the track for the second straight night sharing the
spotlight with USRA Limited Mods, Sunoco USRA Factory
Stocks, USRA Tuners and Eco Mods.
The USMTS
competitors have banged wheels six times at the RPM
Speedway, including four times last fall. After a
rain-out in 2012, Johnny Scott won the series debut here
in 2013 with Rodney Sanders grabbing the win when the
USMTS returned 79 days later.
Dereck Ramirez
garnered the win last September before the series
returned for the three-night season finale in November.
That event produced first-time winners Jack Sartain and
Brandon Sheppard on Thursday and Friday with Sheppard
backing up his victory with a second straight on
Saturday night.
On the heels of the most volatile
year in more than a century, officials from the United
States Modified Touring Series announced the 2021
schedule last month with 36 nights of racing on the
calendar.
More than $1 million in prize money is
earmarked for those shows with the main event winners
set to take home more than $300,000 of that amount.
Twenty-six of the 36 races will pay at least $10,000
to win. The other ten carry a $5,000 top prize.
As if that weren’t enough, more than $230,000 is
committed to the top 10 finishers in the final points
standings. A paycheck for a record $70,000 is reserved
for the 2021 USMTS National Champion.
Along the
grueling dirt road that has produced just seven
different USMTS National Champions in the previous 22
seasons, fans and drivers will visit legendary
facilities hosting longtime USMTS classics, new and
exciting venues, inaugural events and some tracks
returning after a multi-year absence.
