Springfield Raceways “Quick-Quarter” will host the MARS series for the 7th Annual John Kuntz Memorial presented by Andy’s Frozen Custard this Saturday night May 11th.
John Kuntz the founder of Andy’s Frozen Custard was a long-time race fan and strong supporter of Springfield area activities. Kuntz who opened the first Andy’s in Osage Beach, Mo in 1986 was a true salesman as his strong personal skills drew people to him and his friendly manners had people wanting to do business with him. John and wife Carol then moved to Springfield, Mo and opened their first Andy’s (named after their son) and a tradition was born. Andy has carried that tradition to new highs with several new stores and franchises in Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
