The Nevada Speedway will hold another stock car racing special tonight with its annual Memorial Day special.

The emphasis again is on the modified class after last week’s winner, Fort Scott’s Brian Bolin, pocketed $1,000.

On the line tonight is $2,000 for first place in “Modzilla” as well as track points at the 1/4-mile dirt track.

Competition also will be held in late model, street stock and factory stock classes. Those drivers also will be striving for track points. The mini stock class won’t be held this week.

Bolin beat the Iola Folks — Justin and Jess Jr. — in last week’s A feature.

Points leaders after last week, according to track reporter Gail Agee, are Jack Simmons, Erie, late model; Justin Folk, modified; Zach Marsh, Fort Scott, street stock; Mark Godsey, Nevada, factory stock, and Brice Elnicki, Girard, mini stock.

Gates open at 5:30 p.m. today with racing at 7:30.

Monett Speedway

The eighth annual Tony Roper Memorial will be held at the Monett Speedway on Sunday night.

“This is one of our top programs of the season,” promoter Randy Mooneyham said Friday.

Headlining the 7:30 p.m. event at the 3/8-mile clay track will be the second visit of the season to Monett by the inaugural Dirt Late Model Racing Association Allstate Series.

The winner of the main event will receive $2,000 and making the field will be worth $450. Mooneyham said that 22 cars will start the A feature.

Al Purkey, Coffeyville, is expected among the late model drivers after winning the DLRA main event in April at Monett.
