Warrensburg’s Central Missouri Speedway (CMS) roars back into action this Saturday evening for Heartland Waste and Central Auto Racing Boosters (C.A.R.B.) race night along with Boy Scout Troop #138 at the CMS-Kenny’s Tile sponsored track.  C.A.R.B. is a fan-supported racing organization in the greater Kansas City area that was created to promote interest in and understanding of the sport of auto racing.  The club is now in its 56th year of existence!  One of the main focuses of C.A.R.B. is to take care of both fans and drivers.  Specially selected drivers in each racing division will receive a Larry Kaster Driver Appreciation Award from C.A.R.B. during intermission time.  All C.A.R.B. members will receive free grandstand admission at the track by just showing their current membership card at the gates.  Drivers will also receive an additional $15 for making the A feature in each of the four divisions, if they are a C.A.R.B. member.

All four racing divisions will be back on the track as we start a mid-season run toward the season track championships in September.   There are close battles in each division with Jon Binning of Warrensburg heading the ULMA Late Model race for the points. Independence driver, Scotty Martin is on top in the B-Modified division with Herb Danner of Holden leading the Street Stock class and Aaron Marrant of Orrick in front of a heated battle for the Modified crown.

This weekend the show will include the complete four-class program with the “mighty” Modifieds, the ULMA Late Models, Street Stocks and B-Modifieds competing in qualifying heat races and feature events.  CMS will be back on a regular schedule this week with pit gates opening at 4:30, admission gates open at 5, hot laps starting at 7 and the first heat races starting at 7:30.

In two weeks Rib Crib will sponsor the annual Battle of the B-Mods at the CMS high banks.  B-Modified drivers are reminded they will have to race at least twice at CMS in this division to avoid paying the entry fee for the July 26, $600 to win special feature at CMS.
