Friday night on May 27th the red clay pits will be filled with MSCS sprints, MMSA mini sprints, UMP Modifieds, UMP Super Stocks, and Hornets. The pits will also be filled with orange spray painted tires and orange and green socks which Josh brought these bright colors and an awesome personality each week to the racetrack. Josh was an up and coming local hero that we miss dearly. The Josh Burton Memorial race is a huge event not only for all of our local heroes but it is a huge part of our lives just like our favorite 04 racer was at Bloomington and LPS every weekend. Since Mother Nature has rained out so many big events early in the year this will be a huge MSCS night and the winner of the Josh Burton Memorial will not only get an awesome trophy but will lead the points going into the next 2 big nights to finish a huge Memorial weekend. We would like to thank Jerry and Darlene Burton for all the hard work they put in for this Memorial race where we remember their awesome son Josh. Thanks to the entire Burton family and all the fans along with the businesses that donate to this awesome night. See you next Friday night at Bloomington Speedway where our Memorial Weekend is even more special with honoring Josh “04”
