Park Jefferson International Speedway
Dave Mulder Memorial sees USMTS, NE 360's+MSTS and USRA invade Park Jefferson
This Saturday Night, the Park Jefferson Speedway will host one of its most popular nights as the River City Rumble returns to Park Jefferson. The event, rained out in 2017, has been a huge success. The featured attraction is the return of the national touring series, the United State Modified Touring Series. In conjunction, the final round of the North vs. South Sprint Car Shootout will be on hand as the drivers from the Nebraska 360’s take on the South Dakota based Midwest Sprint Touring Series. As a new addition, the USRA Iron Man Series for B Mods and Stock Cars will be on hand.
This event holds special meaning this year, as this event will be the first ever Dave Mulder memorial event at Park Jefferson. Dave Mulder’s family, including son Jackson Mulder who is a Park Jefferson scorer, and father Leon Mulder, who is the head competition director at Park Jefferson, will be on hand for the event. They have generously added to the purse for the USRA Stock Cars making it $1,000 to win.
The USMTS will bring in some of the countries most exciting modified drivers including New Mexico’s Johnny Scott and Stormy Scott, Texas native Rodney Sanders and Iowa local Zack VanderBeek. A number of Park Jefferson Speedway locals have indicated they will be strapping in open motors and the large spoilers to try and upset the USMTS on their home track.
The final round of the North vs South Sprint Shootout will ultimately settle the score. In April, it was Sioux Falls native Eric Lutz picking up a $10,000 to prize. Then in May, Jack Dover evened the score by picking up a win for Nebraska. This Saturday will see the final round. Fans from the Cornhusker state are encouraged to wear the red colors of the University of Nebraska, and South Dakota fans are encouraged to show your support by wearing the blue and yellow of the Jackrabbits of SDSU or the Red, White and Black of the Coyotes of USD.
