For Immediate Release
(Warrensburg, Missouri) The 2023 schedule of events for Central Missouri Speedway (CMS) features 23 nights of racing spanning multiple classes and special events from April to September. On the verge of beginning their 29th year of operations, track owners and promoters Earl and Susan Walls and the staff are gearing up for one of the most action-packed and multi-divisional special event seasons in the track’s storied history.
As previously announced, all weekly race divisions at CMS will complete under the sanctioning POWRi banner, including B-Mods, Super Stocks, Pure Stocks, and Midwest Mods. In addition to the weekly championship divisions, CMS will open its gates to drivers and fans of Late Models, Sprints, Midgets, Lightning Sprints, and Vintage cars on select nights throughout the season. Season Passes are available for the coming season as follows: Adult Season Pass $350 (save $55), Senior Citizen 65 to 75 years or Active Military $260 (save $52).
Season highlights include the traditional special events held on the ‘Big 3 Summer Holiday Weekends’ based around Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day. All weekly race divisions will have separate big-money special events as noted on the schedule below. Late Model fans have three opportunities to take in the full-bodied machines via one appearance by the Malvern Bank Super Late Model Series and two appearances for the Cash Money Super Dirt Series. Vintage racing is alive and well in the Midwest as these drivers have at least three appearances int 2023.
Open-wheel race fans will rejoice in the return of the WAR Sprint League for two events along with several appearances by Midwest Lightning Sprints. The POWRi National Midget League as well as the POWRi West Midget League will both make their first-ever CMS appearances on a rare Friday night event on June 30, to bring in the Independence Day weekend special events. Also, on the card for their first-ever appearance is the POWRi 305 sprints plus the Lightning Sprints.
One of the most anticipated events will be the return of the Hog Roast Nationals, which takes place on Saturday, September 16 and features a $3,000-to-win POWRi Super Stock special event. POWRi B-Mods will also race for $1,000-to-win, in addition POWRi Pure Stocks will also compete on this night. A post-race hog roast and bonfire party is planned to cap the night. Additional information regarding special sponsorship opportunities for this event will be announced at a later date.
