(OSBORN, Mo.) – As temperatures continue to heat up as the summer months approach, so will the racing action at US 36 Raceway. Sprint Car fans, Modified fans, and full fender fans will all have something to look forward to in May.
The first race in May, Friday May 3, will see the continuation of the Season Championship. It will mark race number four on the schedule for championship competitors.

Taking a look into the early season point battles, all classes sit within a few points of each other. Steven Bowers Jr. sits atop the IMCA Modified standings. Clay Hale and Tyler Hibner are both a single point out of the points lead. Chad Clancy sits just two points back after winning two weeks ago. The IMCA Winged Sprints have a tie for the early points lead between Mike Houseman Jr. and Matt Richards. Mike Moore is two markers back in third.
