On the heels of an historic season for the world's most demanding and talent-rich campaign for outlaw dirt Modifieds, officials from the United States Modified Touring Series have announced another bold and lucrative schedule for 2025 racing season for the Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt.

More than $250,000 is committed to the points fund.

Last year, 13 different winners claimed victories, and 13 competitors attended every event. The season saw a diversity in equipment with 39 different chassis and 45 different engines competing throughout the year. Each were highlighted by feature wins for 10 different brands.

An explosive 2025 campaign lights the fuse with a huge month of action in March.

On Friday and Saturday, Feb. 28 and March 1, the Heart O' Texas Speedway in Elm Mott, Texas, hosts the 10th Annual USMTS Winter Nationals. The series returns for the season-ending USMTS Texas Cotton Palace Clash presented by Good Auto Diagnostics, Oct. 31 and Nov. 1.

A week later, it's a return to the Rocket Raceway Park in Petty, Texas, for the 15th Annual USMTS Texas Spring Nationals on Friday and Saturday, March 7-8.

Finally, King of America XIV will be hosted outside of the walls of the Humboldt Speedway for the first time as the royal rumble moves to the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo., Thursday-Saturday, March 27-29, with $20,000 to win on the line.

Other popular crown jewel events return this year, including the 26th Annual Masters at the Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., June 12-14, and the 27th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree presented by RacinDirt, Sept. 25-27, at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn.

Along the grueling dirt road that has produced just ten different champions in the previous 26 seasons, fans and drivers will visit legendary facilities hosting long-time USMTS classics, new and exciting venues, inaugural events and some tracks returning to the schedule after a multi-year absence.

For the first time since 2009, the Summit USMTS Modifieds are invading the Hancock County Speedway in Britt, Iowa, to stage the series' 14th event there. Other venues returning after an extended absence include the Casino Speedway in Watertown, S.D.; Creek County Speedway in Kellyville, Okla.; Granite City Motor Park in Sauk Rapids, Minn.; Electric City Speedway in Butler, Mo.; and Scotland County Speedway in Memphis, Mo.

After being rained out last year, the USMTS will visit the Off-Road Speedway in Norfolk, Neb., for the first time on Wednesday, June 18, and makes its maiden voyage to the Princeton (Minn.) Speedway on July 18.

Back in 1998, Todd and Janet Staley took a raw, untamed beast called the United States Modified Series and unleashed it on the world as the USMTS. Since 1999, this juggernaut has been tearing up the tracks while dishing out over $20 million in hard-earned cash to more than 4,700 warriors across 185 battlefields in 19 states.

This is where the elite meet, and every driver from the top guns to the local heroes, get a shot at glory. Over 1,500 gladiators from 36 states have thrown down at 58 of America's most brutal dirt tracks, turning each event into a spectacle of speed, skill and sheer audacity.

As we charge into the 27th season in 2025, get ready for 22 of the toughest, grittiest arenas in the land to host 39 nights of relentless, heart-pounding action. This is where the real racers of dirt modified racing come to show their mettle. Are you ready to witness the chaos, the speed, the glory? This is where legends are made, the dirt flies and the engines roar. Get ready for the USMTS—where only the toughest survive.
