WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (Aug. 29)
—
The
stars and cars of the Summit USMTS National Championship
presented by RacinDirt return for their traditional
Labor Day Weekend swing this Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, Sept. 2-4, for a pivotal weekend in the $100,000
title hunt.
The 8th Annual End of Summer Bash at
the Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis.,
will get the party started on Friday and then the series
travels to the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley,
Minn., on Saturday for the 17th Annual J&S JCB Fastrac
40 before wrapping up the tripleheader with the 10th
Annual War in West Union at the Fayette County Speedway
in West Union, Iowa.
A bonus for both competitors and race fans, the
Mississippi Thunder Speedway will see a four-division
program on Thursday, Sept. 1, with the Karl Fenske
Memorial featuring a $4,999-to-win, $299-to-start main
event for USRA Modifieds.
Then on Friday, the
Summit USMTS competes in the 8th Annual End of Summer
Bash with a $10,000 top prize dangling in front of USMTS
racers. USRA B-Mods, USRA Hobby Stocks and USRA Late
Models are also on the card both nights.
The pit
gates open at 4 p.m., grandstands open at 5:30, hot laps
begin at 6:45 and racing starts at 7. Visit

With just 12 races left to determine the 2022
USMTS National Champion, four of those are slated for
the Deer Creek Speedway, beginning this Saturday with
another $10,000-to-win blockbuster.
Just on the
other side of the 20th anniversary of Kelly Shryock’s
dominance of this event in 2002, Jake O’Neil comes to
‘The Creek’ as the two-time defending champ of the 17th
Annual J&S JCB Fastrac 40.
The series returns
Sept. 22-24, for the 24th Annual USMTS Featherlite Fall
Jamboree.
USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Mods will
round out the three-division program with pit gates
opening at 3 p.m., grandstands open at 4, hot laps at
5:30 and racing at 6. Check out
deercreekspeedway.com to learn more.
On Sunday, the fast and furious Fayette County
Speedway in West Union, Iowa, host the Summit USMTS
National Championship with the third straight
$10,000-to-win clash of the weekend.
The first
War in West Union was waged Sept. 16, 2008, with Jake
Neal garnering his first and last USMTS triumph. Ryan
Gustin won in 2009 but the series didn’t return until
2016 with Zack VanderBeek coming out on top.
Gustin became the event’s only two-time winner in 2017
and the last four winners were Lucas Schott, Rodney
Sanders, Terry Phillips and defending USMTS national
champ Dereck Ramirez.
USRA Stock Cars, USRA
B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks will also be in action
battling for Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national
points.
The pits will open at 3 p.m. with
grandstands open at 4. Qualifying kicks off at 5:30 with
the first green flag at 6. Find out more about the
