World Modified Championship Has New Twist
Image
On July 23–25, the Best of the Best dirt modified drivers will converge on the Deer Creek Speedway for the fifth annual World Modified Dirt Track Championship presented by Red Tail Tackle.
Race fans will witness a complete program of qualifying and main events for the USMTS Modifieds each day, with Saturday’s show featuring an “alphabet soup” of main events as drivers try to claw their way into the big dance.
Drivers will qualify on Thursday and Friday through time trials in groups of five cars with a green-white-checkered format. The top six qualifiers from each group of 12 will be inverted for that group’s heat race. Heat races will take the top 12 in passing points to that night’s “A” Main with the remainder going to one of that night’s “B” Mains.
Points will be awarded for time trials, heat races, “B” Mains and the “A” Main each night on Thursday and Friday, and each driver’s total combined points for the first two days will determine the main event line-ups on Saturday.
The highest overall points earner during the first two days will earn the pole for Saturday’s “A” Main and so on for the top 12 points-earners, with 14 additional drivers qualifying through Saturday’s “B” Main to create a 26-car starting grid.
Saturday will feature an “alphabet soup” of main events and last-chance races with the 13th-highest points-earner from the first two days on the pole of the “B” Main and the lowest points earner starting last in the lowest feature race.
But unlike the last four years, Saturday’s main event will have a new twist this year.
Saturday’s WMDTC Championship “A” Main will be divided into two segments. The first segment will be 25 laps and pay a minimum of $5000 to win and $500 to start. After the first segment, competitors will have a maximum of ten minutes to make any needed changes to the race car.
The second segment will be 40 laps, start heads-up by the finishing order of the first segment and pay a minimum of $10,000 to win and $1000 to start.
Two-time defending USMTS National Champion is also the defending champion of the World Modified Dirt Track Championship presented by Red Tail Tackle. Jason Hughes conquered the 2014 event while Ryan Gustin blistered the field in 2012. The inaugural event in 2011 went to Brad Waits.
