[Dlmfan123]

Maybe chase junghans? I'm pretty sure one of the races is his brothers memorial

[zyoung25]

Cade Dillard and that cheating TP (sarcasm) are on the list. Kyle Beard is another late model driver I seen is going.

I wouldn't consider these guys late model guys, but Johnny Scott and Gustin are also supposed to be there.

[TerryM]

Any streaming for these races?

[zyoung25]

It's going to be on www.racindirt.tv I believe

[OkieDirtFan]

Its' snowing in their neck of the woods already?!Pretty sure that’s out at Ramirez Motorsports in Woordward, Oklahoma. Big cold front just came through and they got quite a bit of snow and ice out there.

[fryefan]

Also, the cars have (for the most part) the same sponsors that Dereck Ramirez's USMTS mods have on them, including the Ramirez Motorsports logo on each car. Thus, I imagine that they are some of Dereck's cars put together for Brandon and Jimmy.

[Mod Runner]

So, who is sanctioning these 4 big mod shows. Are they USRA , USMTS , or unsanctioned shows ? Will Jake Oneil have his mod there ?

[chupp n bloomer fan]

And the shop in the Owens picture has Ramirez Motorsports on the door.

Jake is slated to be there as well.

[bullittwrench]

Are the Ramirez cars Jimmy's LG2 chassis?

[Ryan21mid]

Are the Ramirez cars Jimmy's LG2 chassis?

No, Jimmy has stopped building modifieds. Ramirez runs Hughes Racing Chassis.

[chopter33]

No, Jimmy has stopped building modifieds. Ramirez runs Hughes Racing Chassis.thats interesting. no more lg2 mods? Ramirez is running it for jason?

[Mod Runner]

No more Loose Gruff mods ! That is a surprise. I had no idea Jimmy Owens stopped building mods.

[Ryan21mid]

Jason still runs HRC, but Dereck and his team have fielded Hughes cars for the last few years.

Jimmy said in his latest DoD story "we have built some modifieds (LG2 cars) but I've kind of shut all that down because it's hard to get good fabricators and pay them what they're worth."

Modster Mash entry list boasts 50 national championships
We’re now just hours away from the biggest four days in dirt modified racing history when four monstrous events happen Halloween Weekend with the inaugural running of the Modster Mash.
With more than $35,000 to the winner(s) of the four USRA Modified feature races and more than $5,000 to the USRA B-Mod winner(s), this simmering cauldron of cash is real money for real racers that is all treats and no tricks.

And with nearly $200,000 in prize money to be doled out in about 100 hours or real time, the event has drawn one of the most prolific fields of competitors in the history of dirt modified competition.

Thursday, October 29: Drivers will get their first chance to race for great money in the inaugural “King of the Ring” at the Tri-State Speedway in Pocola, Oklahoma, with $10,050 to win and $700 to start for USRA Modifieds.

There’s also a $2,000 top prize up for grabs for the USRA B-Mods with at least $100 to start the main event and $75 for non-qualifiers presented by Drive4JRT.com, SDI and Robert Vinson.

For more information check out tri-statespeedway.com.

Friday, October 30: Head north to the Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, for the fifth annual “Grant Junghans Memorial” paying $10,102 to win the USRA Modified main event.

Currently, the start money is no less than $1,202. More money will be added as sponsorships come in. USRA B-Mods will also be racing for $1,002 to win and $102 to start.

For more information check out lakesidespeedway.net.

Saturday, October 31: The inaugural Mel Hambelton Ford Modified “Spooktacular” presented by Park City will take place at the 81 Speedway in Park City, Kansas, with a $10,031 paycheck going to the winner and a minimum of $700 to each starter in the main event.

USRA B-Mods will also be running for $1,031 to win and $131 to start.

For more information check out race81speedway.com.

Sunday, November 1: The road leads to the Humboldt Speedway in Humboldt, Kansas, for the first-ever “Halloween Hangover at The Hummer” featuring a $5,000-to-win, $320-to-start feature for USRA Modifieds and USRA B-Mods once again sharing the spotlight and racing for $1,000 to win.

USRA Tuners are also on the racing card.

For more information check out humboldtspeedway.com.

Among the nearly 70 USRA Modified entries already are racers that bring résumés with 50 current and past national championships in various sanctions and divisions.

Two notable names from outside of the dirt modified ranks—at least for the last decade or so—are reigning Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champion Jimmy Owens and 2020 World of Outlaws Late Model Series champ Brandon Sheppard.

Owens, who collected his fourth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series crown this year to add to his four UMP Modified national titles, has more than 560 dirt late model and modified victories in his career.

Sheppard, meanwhile, collected his third World of Outlaws Late Model Series championship in four years recently and captured the 2013 UMP Late Model national championship.

Both will be piloting mounts from the Ramirez Motorsports stable in Woodward, Okla., which owns the team that Owens drives for in the LOLMDS. Sheppard also steered a Ramirez ride in last year’s Grant Junghans Memorial at the 81 Speedway and finished second behind Jacob Bleess.

Every USMTS national champion since 2010 will be in the pits all four nights, led by defending and soon-to-be four-time titlist Rodney Sanders.

Another four-time champ, Jason Hughes, will also compete with two-time USMTS national champion Ryan Gustin and 2018 champ Johnny Scott also on the pre-entry list.

Between them they have 410 career feature wins with the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey’s.

Five former USRA Modified national champs—Darron Fuqua (2018), Lucas Schott (2016), Jake Gallardo (2015), Fito Gallardo (2014) and Johnny Bone Jr. (2011)—have made their intentions to take their share on the money known.

With USRA national points ending Halloween Weekend, Jake Gallardo and Schott are in a nail-biting battle for this year’s crown and the 2020 Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national champ will emerge on Sunday night.

Other entries with national championship pedigrees include:
• Terry Phillips, four-time Lucas Oil MLRA champ and six-time MARS champ
• Tyler Davis, two-time NCRA national champ
• Tanner Mullens, 2018 NCRA national champ
• Scott Green, 2016 NCRA national champ
• Travis Saurer, two-time Wissota national champ
• Dustin Strand, two-time Wissota national champ
• Cory Crapser, three-time Wissota national champion and two-time USRA Iron Man champ.

The Thursday show won't be happening. - https://www.facebook.com/todd.staley1/posts/3443027845784236

Todd Staley

Wanted to let everyone know early enough about this weekend's races and just got the call from Michael Hoover that the races for tomorrow night at the Tri-State Speedway in Pocola, OK has been canceled. It has rained all night long and bringing in this big of a show and with the caliber of drivers that are planning on attending Michael wanted to give the best track possible and felt like that would not happen with the weather he has been given this week! We are talking about a reschedule date and will see if the rest of the Modster Mash week happens! If we get in all the three races left Friday at Lakeside for the 5th Annual Grant Junghans Memorial, Saturday at the 81 Speedway for the Mel Hambelton Ford Modified Spooktacular presented by Park City, and the Halloween Hangover at the Humboldt Speedway on Sunday the race will not be rescheduled. Looking forward to seeing everyone this Friday Night at the Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, KS!!

[chopter33]

sheppard didnt make the show last night anyone know what happened?

[Mod Runner]

Apparently Rocket Shepp had mechanical problems in his heat and had to run one of the four B-features and drove from 14 to 5th but just came up short for making the feature. Sounds like he put on quite a show. Ricky Thornton JR showed once again what a strong force he will be in the Lucas SLM series next year. He had another big win in the Grant Junghans Memorial race. Jimmy Owens started 10th and finished 18th.

[kazual]

Super stout field so making the show was no cake walk. I give them credit for taking an off weekend to go do this. And to Ramirez for providing and prepping the cars. Kinda interesting, last I knew the Saturday winner drives one of Owens’ LG2 chassis.

[Mod Runner]

Jake Oneil won the Saturday Mel Hambelton Ford Modified Spooktacular race @ 81 Speedway driving an old Owens built LG2 chassis. Not only did Oneil win with a LG2 chassis , but he won with a Cornett Ford engine. There are very few Ford powered mods in USMTS or USRA modified races. Jake Oneil is having a really great year winning some big paying races at the end of the year. He dominated the Fall Jamboree at Deer Creek by winning all the features this fall.

The finale in KS. just ended and Lucas Schott from MN just won. nother very good young gun. Brooks Stregth from MS. was second. Sortve interesting to see Mod racers from very different parts of the country up there. Owens 3rd and Sheppard 6th. Very choppy track. A lot of talent racing in that deal over the last few days.

[Mod Runner]

Thanks for the results. Owens and Rocket Shepp did pretty well for driving cars not totally setup for them. If Owens and Rocket Shepp had their own mods they would have done much better. Good to give regular mod racers a chance to race with them. Good sportsmanship for SLM racers to participate.

[Dlmfan123]

Shepp won the USMTS race tonight

[Mod Runner]

Thanks for the result. Congrats to Rocket Shepp.

[waaac77]

That’s impressive those usmts mod guys are no joke. Wonder what he could do in a sprint car

[Dlmfan123]

Shepp won again tonight

[NeedforLMspeed]

Sum biscuit cherry picking now...

Impressive for Shep with two wins on the weekend.

It seems Shep wins two times every weekend.

Amazing that Rocket Shepp could win two nights in a row driving a modified that is not driven by him on a regular basis. The USMTS racers are used to racing on the small tires required by USMTS. It takes a quick learner to adapt to the small tire and out run such fast mods. Congrats again to Rocket Shepp.

[dirtcrazy4u]

The guy is the best wheelman out there right now. Doesn't burn the tires off, rarely bends any sheet metal, has excellent throttle control. Doesn't bring any drama to the team. Has a really good bank account, probably the highest paid slm driver out there.

He may just be the real superman ?

[deadringer]

So of that $750,000 does he get a third? What is average pay for a series driver? Always wanted to know.

[NeedforLMspeed]

So of that $750,000 does he get a third? What is average pay for a series driver? Always wanted to know.

Hard to say because some of that includes money from the B5 family car. That might make it somewhat different

[84wedge]

I dunno, Brandon Overton would be a serious threat in his current gear vs the Rocket team, and that's saying something.

[Mod Runner]

I would pay good money to see Overton race a IMCA or USMTS modified.
