By Dusty Wiegert SALINA, Kan. (Sept. 27) – A full season has been nearly completed for the third straight year at the Salina Speedway as tonight’s (Friday) championship night showcases a long summer of achieve­ments with the crowning of six out of seven division champions. Joe Cleveland will capture his second championship in a row in the IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modified division by starting his heat race.

Ty­ler Frye capped off a dominant season last week and will easily be the Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod champion. The closest points battle exists in the [Read More]
