  Phil Jones had been working on a construction project outside his house all day on May 22 and was unaware that a tornado watch had been issued. Once he was inside, though, his weather radio went off, and he learned that a warning had been issued.

Area tracks feature late model specials

Late model specials will headline tonight’s stock car racing schedule at two area tracks in southwest Missouri.

The Midwest Late Model Racing Association will visit the Nevada Speedway. The Show-Me Racin’ Series will headline the overflowing fare at Springfield Raceway.

Each show on the quarter-mile dirt tracks will start at 7 p.m.

Nevada Speedway

Modified and street stock are the support classes. Factory stocks and mini stocks will take a week off.

The Season Championships program, rained out last week, was rescheduled for Sept. 20.

Springfield Raceway

Jerry Hoffman, track co-owner, said Legends Cars will be added to the usual fare of modified, sport mod, factory stock, bomber and hornet classes.

Those classes, of course, are in addition to the late models presented by Hewitt-Messenger Well Drilling.

Grandstand admission is $15 and $5 (ages 6-12) with no charge for 5-and-under. A pit pass is $30.

Top two drivers in points in the Show-Me Racin’ Series are defending champion Leslie Essary, Crane, 812, and his father, series founder Ken Essary, Cape Fair, 744.

Completing the top five in points are Conner Ward, Wichita, 740; Shane Essary, Aurora, 722, and Don Cloyd, Fair Grove, 708.

Just two more shows remain on the Show-Me schedule — Sept. 19 at North Central Arkansas Speedway, Flippin, and Oct. 18 at Tri-State Speedway, Pocola, Okla.

The season-ending banquet will be held on Nov. 2 at Playtime Pizza in Branson.

Midway Speedway

There will be racing tonight at 7 at the Lebanon oval if the weather will cooperate.

It will be the Season Championships — if that show was postponed on Friday night — or a free style special involving only the super stock, B-modified and bomber classes.

First-year owners Tony Jackson Jr., 417-594-0310, and Jack Jones, 594-0594, can be reached for information about tonight’s show.

I-44 Speedway

The last weekend of racing this season at the Lebanon track will be Sept. 19-20 with the Fall Classic.

The enduro race, because the scheduled events for Sept. 6 and tonight were scheduled, was moved to Sept. 20.

Headlining the Fall Classic will be late models — the Allstate DLRA and O’Reilly MARS.
