For Immediate Release
The Labor Day weekend of action concluded on Sunday evening at Central Missouri Speedway (CMS) with 59 race teams on hand. There were 17 B-Mods, 14 Super Stocks, 5 POWRi Late Models, 12 Midwest Mods, and 11 Pure Stocks signed in.
Prior to the National Anthem, the drivers organized a surprise 30-year recognition and plaque presentation to owners and promoters Earl and Susan Walls. A special reading was given by Morgan Mace, daughter of Super Strock driver and recognition event organizer Danny McKenzie, with a message from drivers and race families who participate at CMS. In Earl fashion, with a big grin on his face, when asked what he had to say about the presentation and recognition, he said, “let’s race” as the crowd cheered with approval.
Drivers raced their way onto the five main event starting grids through 10 qualifying heat races. At the conclusion of the night’s action, Jon Sheets captured the $2,000 B-Mod victory while Blaine Ewing captured his sixth Super Stock win of the year. Three first-time CMS winners added their name to the stories history of winners at CMS, including Tucker Cox in POWRi Late Models, Brian Meyer in Midwest Mods, and Donne Devers in Pure Stocks.

After a rocky start, the 30-lap B-Mod main event rolled off with Jon Sheets and Shadren Turner showing the way and setting a blistering early race pace. Sheets edged away through lap 12, but Turner pulled close by lap 14 as the pair ran high and low. By lap 18, lapped cars came into play with the two leaders building up a three-fourth’s of the track’s length lead. A close battle for third took place with Sturgis Streeter and Colin Pierce for several laps as Jeremy Lile also ran inside the top five. Past the lap 20 marker, Turner had a couple of close calls with the turns one and two berm as he nearly jumped the cushion, he was able to hang on and regain composure to maintain his second position. Meanwhile, Tim Karrick, who suffered a flat tire at the beginning of the race, charged back through the field and made his way back to the top five. Lile drew a late race caution as he went over the berm in turn four setting up a late-race restart. Sheets was the class of the field on this night even though Turner and Karrick tried to close in on the leader in the waning laps. Sheets ultimately collected the victory, his third career CMS win. Turner was second followed by Karrick, Pierce, Streeter, and Brad Smith to round out the top six.
