By the time the competitors in the United States Modified Touring Series and Jackpot Junction Sprint Tour get to the Steele County Speedway in Owatonna, Minnesota, on Monday, they’ll be ready to end their long weekend of racing with a big paycheck.

The USMTS Modifieds wrap up their five-night, five-race tour through Southern Minnesota with their finale at Steele County Speedway, one of their favorite stops on the tour. Their tour begins in Lansing, Minnesota, on Thursday before heading to Slayton, Spring Valley, Kasson and then Steele County on Monday. The five-day weekend with minimal travel between events should guarantee a great car count of quality competitors in the modified ranks. Kelly Shryock is the current point leader over Al Hejna but will he still be leading after the Minnesota swing?

For the Jackpot Junction Sprint Tour, they start their weekend in Arlington, Minnesota, on Saturday night before going to Redwood Falls, Minnesota on Sunday night. After that, they make their first ever appearance at Steele County on Monday evening. The Jackpot Junction Sprint Tour is a nine-race tour at five different racetracks in Iowa and Minnesota for IMCA-sanctioned Sprint Cars, which feature 360 engines and big wings.

Joining the USMTS Modifieds and Jackpot Junction Sprint Tour on the card will be the Wissota Midwest Modifieds.

With the nation enjoying Memorial Day, doors open early. The pit gates open at 3PM and the grandstand is open one hour later at 4PM. Races will begin at 6PM.
