WACO, Texas (July 7, 2022) – Heart O’ Texas Speedway rolls out the red carpet for an IMCA STARS Mod Lite special so big it could only be held in the Lone Star State.

Two long haul awards of $150 will be paid. Hard charger awards are $100 for the feature and $50 for non-qualifiers. The Joe Butler Jr. Invitational pays $500 to win, $200 for second and $100 for third through eighth place.

Entry fee is $200 for drivers registering by Sept. 5 at heartotexasspeedway.com or $300 after that date.

Pit gates open at 6 p.m. and an open practice runs from 7-10 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 13. Gates open at 6 p.m. and racing starts at 8 p.m. each of the next two nights, with eight drivers locked in on Friday and 16 advancing from last-chance qualifiers on Saturday.
