Benton Speedway
A Little Behind the Jim Hall Memorial
Racing Saturday begins at 6:30pm.
Hall was among the first racers on the track when the Scott County oval track opened in May 1991. In the years since, a handful of family members have competed at the track, and several still compete there in weekly events. They'll be among those racing for hefty payouts Friday.
That evening’s outlaw sprint class -- featuring the same style of 410-cubic inch sprints featured on national touring series -- will pay $3,000 to its winner $300 to start.

Larry Hicks and S-H&H Mod Lite Racing has added the following bonus money to our Feature event!!!
***$50 Hard Luck Award to a driver in the Feature.
***Additional $50 added to 3 finishing spots in the Feature from 6th place back. How this will work is once all cars have signed in, numbers 6-? (depending on total cars) will be put in a hat and 3 numbers randomly drawn. Those 3 spots will have $50 added to their existing pay scale.
Hall experienced success at Benton Raceway Park in both the late model and sprint divisions, where he spent the final years of a career that began in 1954 in Flint, Mich. After moving to Southeast Missouri, he became a top contender at now-closed tracks in Cape Girardeau, Charleston, Sikeston, Blytheville, Ark., and Marion, Ill. His career led to wins throughout the Midwest and South, and for two years in a row he held the distinction of winning season championships at three different race tracks. He ultimately landed in the NASCAR ranks for a handful of Winston Cup superspeedway events in the mid-1980s before returning to dirt racing.
