HUMBOLDT, Kan. (March 12) -- The preeminent powerhouse of dirt modified racing readies for a humongous tripleheader next weekend, March 18-20, as the United States Modified Touring Series kicks off action in the MSD Central Region presented by Day Motor Sports.

With the track still burning hot from the big B-Mod race this week, the fire-breathing machines of the USMTS Casey's Cup powered by S&S Fishing & Rental take center stage at the Humboldt Speedway this Friday and Saturday, March 18-19, for the 11th Annual Spring Fling @ The Bullring.

Holley USRA Stock Cars, Out-Pace USRA B-Mods and local Pure Stocks will also be on the racing card both nights. Saturday's show will be the season-opening event in the Iron Man Challenge for both Holley USRA Stock Cars and Out-Pace USRA B-Mods.

Friday's USMTS winner gets a $2,000 paycheck while Holley USRA Stock Cars go for $500, Out-Pace USRA B-Mods $400 and Pure Stock $250 to win. On Saturday, the USMTS feature race carries a $3,000 top prize with $750 to win Holley USRA Stock Cars, $600 for the Out-pace USRA B-Mod winner and $250 to top the Pure Stock division.
