GREAT AMERICAN DOUBLEHEADER ON TAP JULY 2-3 AT OSKALOOSA,
CRESCO
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (June 23) - It's gonna be a great Fourth
of July holiday next week, and one Great American
tradition deserves another.
On Wednesday, July 2, the Southern Iowa Speedway in
Oskaloosa, Iowa, will host the 13th Annual Musco Lighting
Great American Stock Car Shootout. The prestigious event,
which attracts America's most talented Stock Car and Hobby
Stock drivers in the business, will feature a $1,000 top
prize in the USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Car division's main
event and $400 to the winner of the USRA Hobby Stock
feature on the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster.
Then on Thursday, July 3, the action continues at the
Cresco Speedway in Cresco, Iowa, for the 5th Annual
Kabrick Distributing Great American Stock Car Challenge.
Stock Car drivers will have a chance to compete for a
$1,500 winner's share of the purse at Cresco while Hobby
Stock drivers will be battling for $700.
Both events are presented by Plain Motorsports of Webster
City, Iowa, and both events will award track and national
points in the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing
Series. However, drivers do not need a USRA license to
compete in this annual blockbuster.
Just in case that wasn't enough, the high-powered USRA
Modifieds will be racing for $1,000 to win each night
while the USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mods will compete for $400
and $700 to win, respectively. Outlaw Hobbys will also
join the card at Cresco Thursday and race for $300 to win.
