USMTS Unveils
2023 Schedule
WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (December 3, 2022)
With the
dust barely settled and the engines nearing room
temperature, officials from the United States Modified
Touring Series have announced the biggest and boldest
schedule yet for the Silver Anniversary season featuring
the nations premier dirt modified outlaws.
Its
time for Americas greatest dirt modified drivers and
their fantastically-rabid fans to call work and get 2023
vacation days locked in.
Next years Summit USMTS
National Championship campaign looks an even more
aggressive and richer than the record-setting 2022
campaign that saw Dustin Sorensen take home a gargantuan
$100,000 for winning the points title.
As of
today there are 44 nights of racing slated, and just the
winners of those main events are set to take home more
than $300,000 with nearly $2 million in purses and prize
money earmarked for those shows.
Most events in
2023 will be three-day mega-events with an open practice
on the preceding Wednesday. Eleven nights pay $3,000 to
win and 13 contests will award $5,000 to the winner.
Theres also a $7,000-to-win feature, nine shows
paying $10,000 to win, two $11,000-to-win contests and a
$12,000-to-win event on the calendar.
Two finales
carry a $15,000 top prize and theres two races that
will dole out $20,023 and $25,000, respectively, to the
winners.
Just like last year, a paycheck for
$100,000 is reserved for the 2023 USMTS National
Champion and $10,000 to the Grant Junghans USMTS Rookie
of the Year.
The 2023 campaign lights the fuse
with the 13th Annual Texas Spring Nationals on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, March 2-4, at the Rocket Raceway
Park in Petty, Texas.
Action wraps up October
12-13 at the all-new Arrowhead Speedway in Colcord,
Oklahoma, featuring a $20,023-to-win finale and the
crowning of the 2023 USMTS National Champion.
