Central Missouri Speedway has decided to cancel the planned car show and practice session originally planned for Saturday.

The focus now turns to Saturday, April 21 for the official start of the 2018 race season.

Track personnel will receive training on the operations of the new system prior to opening night on Saturday, April 21. Drivers will have the option to purchase or rent their own transponders and pouches.

The car show and practice are open to all car classes wishing to take practice laps. Race fans and family members will have an opportunity to see the cars up close, meet and greet the drivers, and take pictures of the new car looks and vinyl wraps before drivers take to the track for the first time.

Best in show awards for weekly car classes will be presented to the drivers on opening night, April 21. If your business would like to sponsor the “Best in Show” trophies, contact the track at info@centralmissourispeedway.net.

Your business will present the awards on the front straightaway on opening night and you will have the opportunity to inform the audience about your business and what you offer your customers.

For logistical purposes, drivers wishing to participate in the car show must officially enter their car by messaging the track on the CMS Facebook page, or by texting their name, car class, and car number to 660.909.1083.

Drivers wishing to get a head start on their track registration for the year can go to the CMS website at www.centralmissourispeedway.net and hover over the “drivers” heading, then choose the registration form option.

CMS was often asked, “What does registering my car do for me at the track?” Recently, CMS made a change to its policy on car registration and special event entries and now offers reduced entry fees to Track Registered Drivers for all car class special events. Track registration is $60.
