The United States Modified Traveling Series raced at Nevada Speedway on Thursday, Aug. 7, with a field of 41 cars from 10 different states in attendance. Our Street Stock and Factory Stock divisions raced along with them.

The track was excellent and the racing exciting with cars going three and sometimes four wide using up every bit of the track as they raced for the all-important positions. At the start of the A Feature, the cars came onto the track each carrying either an USMTS flag or an American flag for several laps in double file and then four wide around the track.

Racing was a closely contested battle and very exciting. Regular racing will resume on Saturday night. Join us each and every week to catch all the action at the biggest little racetrack in the country.

This closed the field behind Shryock for the restart. Cody Elnicki went spinning collecting Lucan Dobbs and another yellow flag flew. Shryock led the field to the green and never looked back as he collected the win and moved to the back of the A Main with Ryan Whitworth, Kenny, Terry Beckham, II, Tony Jackson and Dalton.

At the start of the second B Main, John Allen and Dereck Ramirez raced side by side around the track for several laps before Allen gained the lead. A yellow flag flew as Donnie Powers went into the infield and Craig Wood went to the pits with a flat tire.

At the start of the A Main all the cars drove onto the track carrying either a USMTS flag or an American flag for several laps in double file and then went four wide. Was that ever an amazing sight!
