For the fourth time the MWRA returns to Butler, Missouri, in 2024 after previously being there on April 19th, and a double header weekend on May 17th and 18th. Braydon Cromwell, Wesley Smith, and Wyatt Burks, won those races respectively, as so far no one has repeated at ECS in MWRA action in 2024.
