All Stars Set For 7 Races In 9 Days Through Missouri, Kansas & Iowa

The FloRacing All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 will end the month of July in a big way, aiming compasses due west for a nine-day campaign through Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa, all of which kicking-off on Friday and Saturday, July 23-24, with a Lake Ozark Speedway doubleheader. The nine-day stretch, complete with seven events including the aforementioned Lake Ozark two-day showcase, will steer the traveling All Stars to six different venues across America’s breadbasket, all capping at the “Sprint Car Capital of the World” Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday, July 31.

As stated, Lake Ozark Speedway’s inaugural Beach Brawl will activate the All Stars’ seven-race trek on Friday and Saturday, July 23-24. Awarding a total winner’s share equaling $18,000, action in Eldon, Missouri, will ignite with an $8,000-to-win preliminary on Friday, followed by a $10,000-to-win finale on Saturday. Tony Stewart’s All Stars have not visited Lake Ozark Speedway since 2004 when former Series champion and Ohio native, Greg Wilson, scored the victory. In fact, the All Stars visited Lake Ozark twice in 2004, each leading to Wilson victories.

Action will resume on Sunday, July 25, at Humboldt Speedway in Humboldt, Kansas, where the All Star Circuit of Champions will hit center stage as the first-ever 410 sprint car program in the track’s history. The first and only Series visit to Kansas in 2021, the All Star event will award a $6,000 top prize.

After an off day on Monday, July 26, the seven-race All Star swing through America’s heartland will continue with a Tuesday night visit to the recently revamped I-70 Motorsports Park in Odessa, Missouri, on July 27. The midweek blockbuster will award a $7,000 payday, welcoming the Series back to the Show Me State after their short stint in neighboring Kansas.

Just two nights later, “America’s Series” will hit high speed yet again, this time for their final Missouri appearance of 2021. Dubbed the Ron Ditzfield Memorial, the Thursday, July 29, program will award a whopping $10,000 share, welcoming the All Stars back to Missouri State Fair Speedway in Sedalia, Missouri, for the first time since August 18, 2002. Gary Wright was the victor during the Series’ most recent visit, one of two All Star victories owned by The Texan at the sprawling half-mile.

Jumping north into the Hawkeye State, the All Star Circuit of Champions will conclude their Midwest showcase with a pair of stops in Iowa kicking off Friday, July 30, at the 34 Raceway in West Burlington, followed by a visit to the world-famous Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville on Saturday, July 31. Awarding a total winner’s share equaling $13,000, the Iowa doubleheader will feature a $6,000 payday at 34 Raceway, followed by a $7,000 payday at Knoxville.

Hosting All Star appearances in 2020, Elk Grove, California’s Kyle Larson was the man to beat at both destinations, scoring a combined $10,000 on July 31 and August 1, 2020. 

Recent Kings Royal champion Tyler Courtney will lead the All Star Circuit of Champions charge into Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa as the current Series points leader. A five-time Series winner thus far in 2021, the Indianapolis, Indiana-native and pilot of the Clauson Marshall Racing No. 7BC has been nothing less than impressive in his first-ever All Star season, accumulating 16 top-five finishes in 27 point-earning features, earning his most recent victory at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wisconsin, on June 4.

Rudeen Racing’s Cory Eliason is second in the All Star driver title chase, followed by Hunter Schuerenberg, Zeb Wise, and 10-time IRA Sprint Series champion, Bill Balog.
