The biggest baddest fastest modifieds in the world invade the Dallas-Fort Worth area Friday and Saturday, March 2-3, for the next two rounds of Summit USMTS Winter Speedweeks presented by MSD Performance and a doubleheader of colossal events at two incredible Texas dirt tracks.

The dirt-slinging demons of the Summit USMTS Southern Series light the fuse on Friday with the touring titans tackling the Kennedale Speedway Park in Kennedale, and then on Saturday it’s a skirmish at the super-fast Superbowl Speedway in Greenville.

This will be the only swing through this area until the series returns to Kennedale on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 1-3, for the inaugural Summit USMTS Southern Nationals.

Johnny Scott is a two-time winner in Kennedale with both victories coming in 2013. The series returned in 2017 with Zack VanderBeek walking away with the winner’s check.

Originally scheduled for Thursday and postponed to Sunday, the event at the Grayson County Speedway in Bells, Texas, has been canceled due to too much rainfall creating unsafe track conditions for racing.

Nineteen races are on the schedule for the Summit USMTS Southern Series and a driver’s best 15 performances will apply toward the final standings and year-end points funds. The Summit USMTS Southern Series champ is staring at a possible $5,000 payday at year’s end, and any driver that competes in at least 18 of the races is guaranteed to earn at least $1,000 in points fund money regardless of finishing position.
