CRANDALL, Texas — Adding more firepower to the upcoming schedule for the Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt, the RPM Speedway will host the series for the first time in three seasons on May 17-18.
USMTS has seen eight trips to the semi-banked quarter-mile dirt oval. Most recently, Dereck Ramirez topped the Texas Spring Nationals in 2021, along with Terry Philips winning the first of the two nights of racing.
The debut event in 2012 was rained out but the series returned in 2013 with Rodney Sanders getting the win. Johnny Scott also won in 2013 and Ramirez won the USMTS North Texas Nationals presented by Penske Racing Shocks in 2020.
In November of 2020, the track hosted the USMTS along with several USRA divisions at the 3rd Annual Summit Southern Nationals, Jack Sartain got his first win on opening night while the final two nights went to dirt late model standout Brandon Sheppard.
This year’s show will pay $5,000 to win the Summit USMTS main event each night, and will be the fourth dirt track in the Lone Star State that the series will visit before Memorial Day Weekend.
