For 5 weeks of racing – that is something we are all very proud of!

Thank you to Brett Bailey and the CarStar Collision locations! We are actively looking for other sponsors who want to be part of a positive experience in dirt racing.

Above the Points Payout, contingency awards will be given to each of the drivers in the top 10 in all 3 divisions! Prime Racing has great relationships with all of our vendors. These guys have stepped up in a big way! For example, American Racer & Boubin Tire Company is donating 10 American Racer tires to be given away at the drivers meetings! Any USRA car that enters in these 3 divisions will be eligible to win a tire! We want to say thank you to Troy Boubin and Boubin Tire Company for their support and belief that we will do our part to make USRA a strong presence in the Kansas City area for years to come. Performance Bodies and Race Parts has donated A Monte Carlo SS Stock Car Nose as well as 2 MD3 Rocker/Nose Valance Kits! The winner of these awards will be drawn at the conclusion of the Smokin Hot Summer Series. All participants who compete in at least 9 of the events will be eligible in those drawings! Wehrs Machine & Racing Products has donated 10 $25 gift certificates that will be drawn each night. The winners of the heat races in all 3 classes will all go into a pot and 1 driver lucky driver will receive $25 complements of Chad Wehrs & Wehrs Machine! Pat Fagan @ Fast Shafts has graciously donated 5 $50 gift certificates toward any purchase as well as 5 banners to hang in your trailer or race shop. Precision Performance, Beyea Headers, PEM and others are behind Prime Racing and our series to grow our sport!
I will be handing out flyers to the patrons at both tracks in hopes they will be willing to walk into their bank, insurance agency, hair salon, convenience store, or anywhere in their neighborhood to hand one out and talk positive to our sport.
Last but not least, the track owners and managers at Lakeside and I-35 Speedways are working to gain your trust. They have unselfishly donated 2/3rd of this purse. They believe in Dustin and myself and know that we are going to do everything in our power to grow our sport. And we are behind them, because that is what’s best for local dirt racing.
