MILAN, Ill. — The O’Reilly USMTS National Tour events that were rained out on April 12-13 at the LaSalle (Ill.) Speedway and Quad City Raceway in East Moline, Ill., have been rescheduled for Saturday and Sunday, May 31 and June 1, USMTS officials announced today.
With the shuffling of dates, the O’Reilly USMTS National Tour event slated for June 1 at the Nobles County Speedway in Worthington, Minn., has been pushed ahead to Sunday, June 29.
SATURDAY, MAY 31 - LASALLE SPEEDWAY
First-year LaSalle Speedway promoter Brian Stuart is expecting a huge field of heavy-hitters for this event as local hotshoes Jeff Leka, Chad Kinder and others try to defend their home turf against the Best of the Best in Modified racing. Also on the racing card will be Midwestern Late Models, UMP Street Stocks and UMP Four-Cylinders accompanying $2,000-to-win USMTS headline event.
Pit gates will open at 3 p.m., grandstand tickets go on sale at 4 p.m., hot laps begin at 5:30 and the first heat race is at 6 p.m.
The LaSalle Speedway is a high-banked quarter-mile clay oval located south of I-80 on I-39 to Exit 57, then 1.5 miles east on US 6. For more information, call 815-223-6900 or visit www.lasallespeedway.com online.
SUNDAY, JUNE 1 - QUAD CITY RACEWAY
A packed house looked on last year as Kelly Shryock held off Chad Kinder and Brad Pinkerton to win the inaugural Spring Clash at the Quad City Raceway in East Moline, Ill. This year's event is sure to provide even more wheel-to-wheel action as O’Reilly USMTS National Tour superstars fight for valuable Central States Region points while local aces like Donovan Lodge and Jeff Morris eye their first USMTS victory.
The USMTS Modifieds will be battling for another $2,000 top prize. Also on the racing card will be UMP Street Stocks and UMP Four-Cylinders.
Pit gates will open at 3 p.m. while the grandstands open at 4 p.m. Hot laps begin at 5:30 and the first green flag is slated to wave at 6 p.m.
The Quad City Raceway is a high-banked quarter-mile clay oval located off I-80 at Exit 7, then 0.9 mile west, then right, then 4.2 miles west on Colona Rd., then east on Archer St. (at the Rock Island County Fairgrounds).
