The series will start the year off at the Farmer City Raceway as part of the World of Outlaws “Illini 100” weekend April 1st and 2nd. The best drivers in the Midwest will be looking to kick off their race seasons at Farmer City with $600 to win qualifying features on Friday night and $2,500 top prize on Saturday.
The tour will invade several venues multiple times in 2022. Moler Raceway Park, Florence Speedway, and Western Kentucky Speedway all find multiple races on the schedule. We will see the traditional Memorial Day Illinois weekend with a Friday night at Farmer City followed by two consecutive nights at Fayette County Speedway with a finale paying $3,000 to win.
A big weekend for the American Modified Series will take place in August with three straight nights at the Florence Speedway during the North South 100 on August 11-13th. Thursday and Friday AMS drivers will run for $1,000 to win and $3,000 to win finale on Saturday.

Brian Shaw, the 2021 series champion, will look to hold on to his reign with a lot of hungry drivers gunning for him. The series has been going through a difficult time with the recent passing of its co-owner, Dewayne Ragland. Series co-owner, Susie Stall, is poised and ready to continue the series on in 2022. “Dewayne would want us to carry on the series, so that is what we are going to do.” More information will be given in the days to come, including who will be directing the series this season.
