WARRENSBURG, Mo. (May 16) - Another Saturday night is in the books at CMS as fans and drivers came out for a cool and clear night of racing action. Heavy rains were again the order of the week but Mother Nature relinquished her rain fury just in time for some clear and windy weather just in time to dry things up for racing. To the delight of fans and drivers, promoter Earl Walls made the call early in the morning to go ahead with the race program for Armed Forces Appreciation Night at the speedway and the move proved beneficial as a large field of cars and fans in the stands made their way to the speedway. Service men and women, past and present were recognized prior to the night's action getting underway and based on the roaring applause by attendees, it was evident their sacrifices have not gone unrecognized. A total of 112 cars filled the pits, including 39 modifieds, 25 late models, 21 street stocks, and 27 b-modifieds. There were a total of 13 heat races, 2 b-mains, and 4 main events during the night's program for a total of 19 races.
This weekend marked the return of late models at CMS under, the cars compete under ULMA rules. Current ULMA point leader Robbie Test sailed to victory in the opening heat race over Jeff Schlup and Shad Badder. The second heat saw J.D. Hubert, who was competing at CMS for the first time ever grab the win ahead of David Barker and Kevin Coyne. Evan Hubert did not let his older brother take the lone family win as he bested Dwight Niehoff and Randy Ainsworth in the third and final heat race. For the main event, Test brought the field to green-flag racing and led the initial laps. J.D. Hubert showed his muscle by racing side-by-side with Test in a classic battle for the lead early in the race with Hubert ultimately taking the point. It wasn't only J.D. Hubert flying the family name though as Evan Hubert also battled for position within the top three spots. David Hartsell had a scary moment down the back stretch but was okay after his crash, which caused a red light in the action. Once the race resumed, Evan Hubert passed his brother J.D. for the lead by lap ten and never looked back as he scored his first-ever feature race victory. Jeff Schlup finished a strong second in a classic battle with J.D. Hubert, who crossed the finish line in third. Shad Badder ran a strong fourth just ahead of Kevin Coyne in fifth; Dwight Niehoff made his CMS debut a good one with a solid sixth-place finish.
Next Friday and Saturday CMS returns to action with the first big-money weekend of the year during the annual Memorial Day weekend special event. On Friday, May 22nd, street stock drivers will go for the $1,500-to-win main event, a total of 24 cars are scheduled to start the event. Also competing on Friday for night one competition will be the modifieds with a full program of heat races, a b-main, and a-main scramble, which will determine the 12 drivers from night one qualifying who secure a spot in the following night's $3,000-to-win main event! Then, on Saturday, May 23rd b-modifieds and ULMA late models join the modifieds for a full program in each division. Once again on Saturday, 12 more drivers in the modifieds will compete for the final spots in the main event via heat races, a b-main, and another a-main scramble.
