MEMPHIS, Mo. -- The 2007 racing season at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway in Memphis, Mo., is set to kick off this Saturday, March 31, with the inaugural Frost Buster.

It’s been five long months since the last checkered flag waved at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway and this Saturday will launch another exciting year for the 3/8-mile clay oval speedplant.

USRA-sanctioned Modifieds, Stock Cars, B-Mods, Hobby Stocks and Outlaw Hobbys will all be in action. A top prize of $600 will go to the feature winner in the Modified division, Stock Cars will battle for $400 to win and B-Mods will compete for $300 to win.

National points toward the USRA Casey’s General Stores Weekly Racing Series will be awarded to USRA-licensed drivers. However, a USRA license and/or track registration is not required to race at this event and there is no entry fee.
