By Gail Agee~Special to the Daily Mail

Excitement was in the air for MLRA racing with cars from Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. David Turner from Adrian, who is very familiar to a lot of Nevada Speedway fans, captured the $3,000 Feature win. A dry, slick track made racing more exciting with drivers giving their all. Next week the Late Model Show Me Challenge cars will visit the Speedway again for our FIRECRACKER special.

Racing will include the Modified, Factory Stock and Mini-Stock cars in addition to the visiting Late Models. We will have a large fireworks display. Join us each and every week to catch all the action at the biggest little racetrack in the country.
