Inaugural
Season for USRA American Racer Modified Series Kicks Off
in 2021
Combining their efforts to
keep dirt modified racing alive and well in the South
Central United States, several of the top dirt ovals in
the region will hosting the newly-formed USRA American
Racer Modified Series presented by Day Motor Sports
during the 2021 racing season.
Each of the venues
will host one or more USRA Modified events paying $2,000
to win or more, plus at least $200 to start the feature
race. At season’s end, the points champion will pocket
$4,000 of the nearly $20,000 points fund.
USRA
Modified racers will be able to compete for several
individual points funds. In addition to the new USRA
American Racer Modified Series presented, drivers will
earn national and regional points in the Summit USRA
Weekly Racing Series, and sanctioned racetracks will
also have their 2021 track points funds too.
The
first event will take place March 13 at the Monarch
Motor Speedway in Wichita Falls, Texas. The finale
happens November 4-6 at the Big O Speedway in Ennis,
Texas, during the 8th Annual Summit USRA Southern
Nationals powered by MyRacePass.

Qualifying at each
event will typically be through heat race passing points
with 12 racers advancing to the main event and the top 8
redrawing for starting positions. An additional 10 to 12
will advance from the “B” Mains. If 41 or more cars are
in attendance, the main event will start 26 cars.
There is a $100 entry fee at each event. Event times
and pricing for spectators and pit passes will be
determined by the hosting racetrack. Check out their
websites and social media pages for current information.
Beginning with the second event, two provisionals
will be awarded at each event to the two drivers ranked
highest in series points that did not qualify for the
main event. Each driver is eligible for two (2)
provisionals.
USRA Director of Track Operations
Bryce Hall will manage the day-to-day operations of the
