Ken Schrader Takes on Top Texas Modified Drivers at LoneStar Speedway - Saturday August 15!

Kilgore TX (7/16/15) by DarinShort.com. Racers and fans alike are set for a night of personal interaction and racing action with Ken Schrader as he will take on the best Modified drivers in the state of Texas, Saturday August 15th at LoneStar Speedway (LSS) near Kilgore, TX.

This will be a Texas Outlaw Modified Series (TOMS) points event, with an excellent competitor purse being posted, $2,000 to win and $200 to start (24th). The full driver payback is listed below. This is also a full LSS points event for all race divisions (see below).

Ken Schrader is one of the most popular and successful drivers in American motorsports, and LSS officials are thrilled to have him bring his Federated Auto Parts #9 Modified to LSS to compete with all the drivers in the region...and meet with the fans.

Schrader’s racing career has spanned 40 years and he has wins and/or championships in about every series in which he has competed; from NASCAR’s three national series to USAC’s Sprint and Silver Crown series. Schrader is a Daytona 500 pole sitter and has won the prestigious Bud Shoot-Out at Daytona International Speedway. In addition, he has competed in literally 1,000’s of Dirt Modified and Late Model events throughout his career, so he is fully capable of hanging with the TOMS and LoneStar 'big dogs.'

Ken along with many of the Modified division drivers will be signing autographs prior to the event from 6:30pm to 7pm sharp, located directly after fans pass through the ticket gate. Many drivers will be signing autograph cards, selling team apparel and will be available for photo ops - so don't miss out on this great, free pre-race perk!

If you can't make the pre-race 'meet-and-greet,' Ken will be signing autographs and meeting fans after the races at his race trailer in the pit area.

Plus, this is our annual Back to School Bash night! August 15th features free school supplies for kids, as well as kids bike drawings. After entering through the ticket gates, kids will be instructed on how to get entered for the drawings and get their school supplies.

General Adult grandstand admission to this event is just $15, and $5 for kids ages 6-11; as we want everyone to be able to afford to come see this special night of racing and fun!

As previously stated, this special night of racing and fun will be a sanctioned points event for the Texas Outlaw Modified Series (TOMS), featuring drivers such as Clyde Dunn Jr., Wesley Veal, Kyle Sweeny, Bobby Malcus, Cody Smith, Josh Landers, Danny Veal, Troy Taylor, Colby Smith, Charlie Smith, Kevin Sustaire, Triston Dycus, Chase Allen, Billy Brierton and B.J. Baze.

This is a point's event for the LoneStar Speedway Modified teams. Joining the strong TOMS contingent will be the top LoneStar Speedway Modified drivers, like Jason Ingalls, Larry Fears, Wes Armstrong, Billy Melton, Billy Jack Brutchin, Kelly Lockey, Jeff Harris, Robert Taylor, T.J. Steele, Greg Penny, Glen Perry, Donnie Powers, Dennie Gieber, Clint Mayne and Donny McBride Jr.

The Modified feature race will be contested over 30 green flag laps, and a very solid competitor purse is being offered by LSS: $2,000 - $1,000 - 800 - 600 - 500 - 400 - 300 - 280 - 260 - 240 - 220 - 200...through 24th. All Non-Qualifiers will receive $100. The standard TOMS entry fee of $50 will be in effect, and this is a USRA sanctioned points event. Non-USRA licensed drivers can purchase a temporary USRA license at the track on race night for just $10.

Joining the special Modified event will be a complete LSS points program for the Limited Modifieds ($500/win) and Factory Stocks ($300/win). The Beginner Factory Stocks will round out the packed night of racing and fun with their feature event. There are no entry fees for these racing divisions on August 15th. Standard pit passes of $30 will be in effect. As in 2014, non-qualifier money will be awarded to any team not making their feature race: Limited Modifieds $30 and Factory Stocks $20.
