Big weekend ahead for American Racer USRA Modified Series


The American Racer USRA Modified Series powered by Day Motor Sports embarks on a long-awaited doubleheader this weekend with visits to a legendary facility and a soon-to-be legend of dirt track racing in Oklahoma.

The all-new Arrowhead Speedway in Colcord, Okla., will host the series this Friday, June 23, and the mighty Tri-State Speedway in Pocola, Okla., will bear ARMS on Saturday, June 24.

In addition to USRA Modifieds, Friday’s program will feature Medieval USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods and USRA Tuners battling for Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series track and national points, plus area Pure Stocks in action too. All USRA Modifieds in attendance will get 50 points for track points.

The pits open at 4 p.m., grandstands open at 6., hot laps are at 7:30 and racing gets underway at 8. Advance tickets are available at MyRacePass.

The Arrowhead Speedway is a 1/3-mile semi-banked clay oval located 5.5 miles west of Arkansas/Oklahoma State Line on US Hwy 412 to 20316 US-412 W, Colcord, OK 74338.

The second $2,000-to-win clash of the weekend takes place at the Tri-State Speedway with USRA B-Mods and Sunoco USRA Factory Stocks joining the fun.
