FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – January 31, 2010 – Midwest City, Oklahoma - Coming off of a very successful eight race inaugural season last year, the O’Reilly/NCRA southern modifieds will be back at it once again in 2010 with eight races being scheduled for their sophomore season. All but one track will be back on board but one new venue has taken its place in what will prove to be a very exciting year for one of NCRA’s newest division. The tour was formally known as the southern sport mods but officials have changed the name to become southern modifieds.

For the second year in a row, the season kicks off on Saturday night, March 13, at Elk Citys I-40 Speedway in Elk City, Oklahoma. The series Oklahoma modified division will also be competing for their point’s race on this night as well. A special practice session for both is scheduled for Friday night, March 12.

Then on Saturday night, April 24 it is on to the Mark Brill owned Brill Motor Speedway in Meeker, Oklahoma. Nearly one month later the track will host the next scheduled event on Saturday night, May 22.

It is then on to where the division got the notice from other states as they return to the famed Hutchinson Fairgrounds in Hutchison, Kansas for the annual Hutchinson Grand Nationals, on Saturday night, July 3. The division put on a very competitive show and the front runners set the pace for the one of the best Hutchinson Nationals for all divisions in recent memories. From there they conclude the Independence Day weekend for a first of two stops at 81 Speedway in Park City, Kansas.

Friday night, August 27 is the next scheduled event for the southern modifieds at Elk Citys I-40 Speedway before heading to a new stop for the division, Route 66 Speedway in Amarillo, Texas on Saturday night.

The tour will close out their scheduled eight race season on Saturday night, October 9 back at the home of the O’Reilly National Championship Racing Association, 81 Speedway.
