For Immediate Release
(Warrensburg, Missouri) A new race season began Saturday at Central Missouri Speedway (CMS) as wet weather held off just enough to complete opening night action at the track.
Saturday winners included Sturgis Streeter for his first-ever CMS win in the B-Mod main with Blaine Ewing also ringing the bell for the first time in POWRi Super Stock action. Tom Brown secured the POWRi Lightning Sprint victory while Leroy Morrison claimed the Pure Stock victory, while Shawn Burns became the first driver to pickup an “E” mod win under the new POWRi Midwest Mods banner.
B-Mods – 11 Entries
A Feature – 20 Laps
Sturgis Streeter was impressive in the main event as he hounded race-long leader and one of the all-time winningest CMS drivers, Terry Schultz, for the entire distance of the main event. Streeter made his winning move late in the race and captured his first-ever CMS victory in an exciting finish over Schultz and many-time champion Jacob Ebert.

Blaine Ewing also added his name to the first-time winners’ list on Saturday with an impressive run over veteran Marc Carter in Super Stock action. Ironically, Ewing was driving a car recently repaired by Carter that was involved in a crash at another venue.

Pure Stocks – 12 Entries
A Feature – 15 Laps
Another close margin of victory came in the Pure Stock division as Leroy Morrison drove hard for the victory in holding off defending champion Spencer Reiff for the win. Reiff stayed close the entire distance and at times pressured Morrison hard for the victory but in the end, Morrison claimed the victory ahead of Reiff and Conrad Workman, who advanced from sixth on the grid to finish third.
