KILGORE, Texas—Lonestar Speedway racers and fans are chomping at the bit for the next blockbuster event on the schedule, Saturday, April 30, when the Modified teams get their chance to take on the best in the nation with the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS).

A whopping $3,000 will go to the feature winner, with a total posted purse in excess of $20,000 which includes the Limited Mods competing for $750 to win while the first Factory Stock driver to cross the checkers will take home $500. This is a full points night for all Lonestar Speedway points divisions, and the FWD 4-Cylinders will round out the four-division racing card.

This is the first USMTS event at the Lonestar Speedway in five years (the past two were rained out) and race fans can expect to see many of the nation's finest open-wheel dirt modified drivers taking on the strong contingent of Lonestar Speedway Modified drivers who are poised to defend their home turf.

USMTS drivers including Austin and Casey Arneson, Bobby Malchus, Brock and Cody Bauman, Cade Dillard, Dereck Ramirez, Jason Hughes, Jesse Sobbing, Joe Duvall, Johnny Scott, Philip Houston, Rodney Sanders, Ryan Gustin, Steve Miller, Steve Whiteaker Jr., Johnny and Stormy Scott, Tyler Wolff and many more are expected, as well as 2016 King of America winner Zack VanderBeek.

Plus, fans can expect a solid field of Lonestar Speedway Modified drivers such as Blake Tennimon, Bryan Gunwall, Chad Migues, Chris Henigan, Danny Veal, Donnie Powers, Jason Ingalls, Jeff Harris, Jerry Jackson, Justin Ingalls, Kelly Lockey, Kenny Gaddis, Kyle Taylor, Larry Fears, current Lonestar Speedway points leader Max Eddie Thomas, Sean Gaddis, Taylor Rateliff, Tye Clampitt, Wes Armstrong, Zack McMillan and others.

In addition to the $3,000-to-win USMTS event, a complete program of Limited Mods, Factory Stocks and FWD 4-Cylinders will compete with heats and features. There is the standard USMTS entry fee and rules in the Modifieds, while the Limited Mod, Factory Stock and FWD 4-Cylinder divisions have no entry fee. Again, all three divisions will receive full Lonestar Speedway points.
