Last year was a
great time at Mel Hambelton Ford with lots of great
prizes.
"Mel Hambelton Ford and Mel Hambelton
Racing are great supporters of the USMTS and we would
love to see another great turnout for this open house,"
said USMTS President Todd Staley. "Drivers mark your
calendars to join in on the fun before the 81 Speedway

“We’ve been fortunate to have
the opportunity to serve the people of Wichita and the
surrounding communities for many years, and our
commitment to racing is just as strong,” said Mel
Hambelton Ford General Manager Phil Nightingale. “It is
a great feeling to be able to service racers at the
track. On many occasions, we’ve had the right part a
racer needs to get back on the track that night.
“That’s why we do this. We love the people and
relationships we’ve built and look forward to building
event more as we grow with the USMTS and motorsports in
general.”
