The Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt returns this week with five nights of racing at three dirt tracks in Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota.

After nearly a month break, the USMTS road warriors get back after it on Tuesday, July 12, at the Mason City Motor Speedway in Mason City, Iowa, before heading to the Ogilvie Raceway in Ogilvie, Minn., for the 2nd Annual Mod Wars on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 14-16.

The weekend will finish up with the 13th Annual Summersota Modified Nationals at the popular Casino Speedway in Watertown, S.D.

Mason City's 3rd Annual Mod Mania will also feature USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods, USRA Hobby Stocks and USRA Tuners with a top prize of $5,000 up for grabs for the USMTS crew.

The pits will open at 4:30 p.m. and grandstand gates open at 5:30. Hot laps begin at 6:45 with USMTS qualifying at 7 and racing to follow.
