Drivers competing in the Modified class must bring a copy of the rules from a track where they have competed this season, for pre and post race inspections.

Steve Shaver and the Shaver Motorsports/Cosgrove Racing Team competed at KC Raceway in Waverly, OH this past weekend and competed in the Dirt Track World Championship that paid a whopping $50,000 to win. Shaver driving his Drywall Systems Rocket Chassis would register a poor qualifying lap in his opinion and would start deep in the second heat race. Steve would make a few adjustments just before his heat race and would rally from 11th and finish 2nd in his heat race to earn a 8th place starting position for the 100-lap feature event.
Bobby Labonte Racing
Earl Pearson Jr. and the Bobby Labonte Racing Team competed at KC Raceway in Waverly, OH in the $50,000 to win Dirt Track World Championship this past Friday and Saturday October 19-20th. Earl would finish 4th in his heat race and would win one of the B-mains to earn a 21st starting position for the 100-lap feature event.
The Dirt Track World Championship will always hold a special place in the heart of Josh Richards – the crown-jewel event did, after all, serve as the launching pad for his dirt Late Model career four years ago.
But it would have meant even more to ‘Kid Rocket’ if he had been able finish one spot better in Saturday night’s 27th annual edition of the Carl Short-promoted mega-show at K-C Raceway in Alma, Ohio.
