Midwest Modified Madness!! Coming to you in 2010!!!

Sitting second in the Midwest Modified Madness points, the #C12 of Jeff Curl is stepping up his game to take advantage of the double header weekend to gain points on the #21A of Nick Allen. Allen has finished in the top 5 at both of the MMM events so far leaving him sitting on top of the pile 40 points ahead of Curl. This weekend they will leave it all on the tracks of the Gas City I69 Speedway and the Montpelier Motor Speedway. These two facilities produce some great side by side action. Throw in some of the best modifieds in the area and you have a recipe for action!!!!

Friday night’s event will pay $1,000 to the winner at Gas City, while Saturday night’s action will be just 23 miles down the road at Montpelier with a guaranteed payout of $1000, but if more than 40 cars enter, the pay increases to $1500 to win!!! As usual, the MMM will be giving away a BRAND NEW tire to the hard charger who has paid their temporary or yearly license fee. A temporary license will enter you into the points along with the chance to win any other prizes we can find!!!!
As usual, the series does not make a dime off the racers. We have put on these shows out of our own pockets to try and show there is a need for this type of series and it can only work with your support to create a fan following the tracks are seeking!!! If….Scratch that…..WHEN we prove to the tracks the support and following is there, they have all said they are willing to do more races and may even bump the purses a bit. We have had to great events with 50 at one and 52 cars at another, each of them giving it everything they had to put on a show for the fans.

We hope to see you at Gas City or Montpelier. Whether you bring a car, or are sitting in the stands, please know we truly appreciate the support of each and every one of you. We have made some mistakes in our first year, but we have learned a lot and are going to correct them to make sure we can put on the best races possible!!!

NIGHT 2 OF THE RIVER CITY SHOOTOUT WAS A WASHOUT!
Due to Severe Weather and multiple weather warnings Kankakee County Speedway Promoter Tom Smith along with MMM officials cancelled tonights event, but are hopeful to agree to a make up date. We will keep you posted if any dates are agreed upon. NEXT STOP.....Shady Hill!!!!!

NIGHT #1 A SUCCESS..... NIGHT #2 READY TO START!
If night #1 was any indication of the non stop action the modifieds will put on for Night #2, Kankakee County Speedway will be THE place to be tonight. 50 modifieds signed in at the Midwest Modified Madness tent set to do battle for the 22 starting positions in the $1000 to win A-Main event. Lance Dehm took home the top prize over a very fast Nick Allen in the 21a machine. At one time, the top 10 cars were two wide for at least 5 laps and looked as if any one of the top 5 could take the lead at any second. Allen and Dehm pushed each other harder and harder until they pulled out to about a 4 car length advantage over 3rd on back. The 36 of Kevin Hastings was moving his way through the field to lock up the Hard Charger award of a BRAND NEW Hoosier tire, which was purchased by the series from Brian Bertsch of Simply Suspension who is the parts supplier at the track. Hastings was involved in a caution which sent him back to the tail, but fought his way back up to 8th. The 25P of Dave Porth was awarded the Hard Charger Award, but upon review, the series realized a mistake had been made and Hastings should have been the recipient of the award. He will be awarded with his tire at tonight's event along with a public apology.

The Midwest Modified Madness officials will have even more give a ways tonight thanks to Grease Monkey Oil and Lube Pro's out of Terre Haute, IN. A stellar field of cars should be on hand again tonight to treat the fans to some of the best side by side action you will see anywhere, in any class and in any part of the country.

The Midwest Modified Madness Summer Series will be in action for the very first time Thursday, June 17^th at the Kankakee County Speedway in Kankakee, Illinois. The night’s action will be nonstop as the modifieds will take the 1/3 mile high banked stage along with “The Hell Tour” of the UMP Summernationals Late Models. Kankakee was the first to sign with the MMM, so it is very fitting the very first event be held at their facility. Not only will the winner of Thursday Night’s action be awarded the $1,000 top prize, but promoter Tom Smith and his staff have upped the goal for Friday night paying $1500 to the winner. The MMM will have giveaways not only for the fans, but the racers will be eligible for various prizes including fuel for both their racing machines and their tow rigs. Some of the highlights of our format will be group qualifying, Delaware style restarts 30 and 35 lap A-Main Events!!!! If you are a modified fan, or even a racer, this series is about making it fun to not only watch, but compete in.

If you are just now hearing about the series, or know about us and are even more curious, feel free to visit our website at www.midwestmodifiedmadness.com. Just like a child learning to walk, we are in the crawl stages of the series. We feel if we try to stand and run too soon, we will fall so hard that we cannot get back up. We very much look forward to being able to walk, BUT live for the day when we can RUN!!!!!

Montpelier Motor Speedway
Has The Madness!!
BY: JOE JEFFRIES 3/14/10
Stepping to the plate and scheduling an event directly behind the Gas City date is Montpelier Motor Speedway. On August 28th, the Midwest Modified Madness will take its turn on the 1/4 mile slightly banked oval. The Montpelier date will be the second final leg of the weekend for the Eastern swing of the Madness Tour. Gas City and Montpelier were very high on the list of tracks for the series to visit, so we are very pleased those tracks have taken a chance on the series and hope to create relationships with those facilities for the years to come. Feel free to check out their website at www.montpeliermotorspeedway.com.

LPS is added to the lineup!!!

One more track, One step closer!!!!
BY: JOE JEFFRIES 3/04/10
The Midwest Modified Madness would like to thank the Gas City I69 Speedway for becoming the latest track to sign on for the series. The MMM racers will get their chance to do battle on the 1/4 mile dirt oval on August 27th as part of the "Lewis Morgan Memorial". MMM officials are in negotiations with several other tracks which will fill our schedule. As we get commitments from each track, you can rest assured we will add it to the schedule page and also announce it on our favorite forums. Thank you to the tracks who have stepped up so far and also those who will sign with us in the coming weeks.

MMM Keeps The Racers In Mind!!!!
BY: JOE JEFFRIES 2/01/10
In a continued effort to remain on track with our "keep the racer in mind" policy, the MMM has just released a couple of our unique opportunities to build the point fund. A running total of the money collected will be displayed on the Point Fund page. We have also created a program to help teams with travel expenses for the MMM point venues outside of their budgeted travel area. The fund we are naming the "Fuel For Racers" program will be supplied by donations from many different sources. The first donation comes from the series itself, the second comes from a percentage of all license fees and the final donations will come from individuals and businesses. Every dollar donated by an individual or business will have their name or logo displayed on the official Fuel For Racers page. The series would like to express our appreciation of each and every donation in advance to either of these opportunities.
