Wichita Falls, TX (5/17/20) by DarinShort.com. The RaceSaver IMCA sanctioned Texas Sprint Series (TSS) season opened with a series record car count at the Tony Hernandez Memorial at Kennedale Speedway Park on Saturday, March 7th with 18-year-old Casey Burkham taking the winner’s prize back to his Combine, Texas hometown.
Then we all entered a dark era of world history. The Series, along with nearly everything else sat idle for two months.
But now it’s time for the TSS series engines to fire back up this coming Friday May 22nd with the running of the Monarch Spring Nationals at Monarch Motor Speedway (MMS) located on the western edge of Wichita Falls, Texas. Joining the TSS will be a full racing program for the USRA Modifieds, Factory Stocks, Limited Modifieds and Tuners; plus the MMS Mini-Stocks. The first green flag is set to wave this Friday at 8pm.

Mandatory pre-entry for the sprint cars closes on Wednesday night at the same link. The draw-cutoff/drivers meeting is slated for 6:45pm, with hot laps at 7:30pm and racing at 8pm.
