Published November 02, 2009 04:52 pm - The Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa will host the finale of the 23rd Annual MUSCO Lighting Fall Challenge on Sunday. Weather permitting, racing season at SIS will come to a close OSKALOOSA — Recent postponements due to cold and rainy weather have combined to make what is shaping up to be one of the year’s biggest events in America’s heartland.
The Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa will host the finale of the 23rd Annual MUSCO Lighting Fall Challenge on Sunday. USRA Modifieds, USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks will wrap up the second half of their twice-postponed program at the Oskaloosa race track. Fans who braved unseasonably cool temperatures Oct. 9 were treated to a night of spills, chills and thrills as a field of 172 drivers packed the pit area for opening night of the MUSCO Lighting Fall Challenge at the Southern Iowa Speedway. Snow covered the ground the following morning, so the second round of the event was postponed to Halloween afternoon where weather again forced the move to this coming weekend. “We’ve been getting non-stop calls from drivers all over the region, and as far away as South Dakota and Texas, inquiring about this weekend’s shows,” said Todd Staley, president of RL Promotions which will be producing the event. “The response from fans has been overwhelming too. They’re hungry for one final blast of racing before the winter off-season. If the weather is on our side, this should be one heck of a weekend of racing.” At the Southern Iowa Speedway on Sunday, pit gates will open at noon and the grandstands will open at 1 p.m., with hot laps at 2:30 p.m. and racing at 3 p.m. Drivers who did not compete in the MUSCO Lighting Fall Challenge opener on Oct. 9 are invited to race this Sunday. The early entry fees of $50 for Hobby Stocks and B-Mods, $75 for Stock Cars and $100 for Modifieds have been extended through race day for all new entries at the track. All drivers will draw each day for heat race starting positions, with top qualifiers re-drawing each night for feature race starting positions. A complete program of qualifying heats, last chance races and feature races are on tap all three nights.
