The undisputed best of the best in the world of dirt racing will converge on the Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., this week for the 20th Annual Masters presented by Allstar Performance.

Featuring one of the largest event purses on the United States Modified Touring Series schedule, this year's overall purse for the crown jewel event is fatter from top to bottom with Super Late Models sharing the spotlight and competing for the same big paydays as the USMTS Modifieds all three days.

Set for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 13-15, the mega-event kicks off with a pair of $3,000-to-win shows on Thursday, followed by a $5,000 top prize in each class on Friday.

It all leads up to Saturday's ferocious finale which offers $10,000 to the winners of both the Super Late Model and USMTS Modified main events.

USRA Late Models will also run a complete program each night.

THINGS TO DO BEFORE/AFTER THE RACES

Apple River Tubing – If you haven't tried what has made the Apple River famous you are missing out. Tubing down the river is an experience but add nearly another thousand people and you have a party. For a small fee we provide to and from Float-Rite Park and an inner tube to enjoy the day under the sun. We will have you back to the track way before hot laps start.

Driver Autograph, Meet & Greet – Before the races come to souvenir alley and purchase an event T-shirt, your favorite driver's shirt or a die-cast and get the driver to sign it as the top drivers will be there to answer your questions, snap a couple pictures and sign your souvenirs.

Party in the Pits – Rub elbows with your favorite drivers, buy them a beer and enjoy the music in the Cedar Lake Speedway Arena both Thursday and Friday night after the races.
