The Southern New Mexico Speedway Winter Meltdown

[Webmaster]

The Southern New Mexico Speedway in Las Cruces, New Mexico may not be the prettiest, newest, or flashiest dirt track in the country; but when it comes to Open Wheel Modified racing it is by far among the best.

On March 5, 6, and 7, 2010 the Southern New Mexico Speedway will continue its tradition of delivering the very best in Modified racing with the $10,000 to win/$1,250 to start DIRTcar Modified Winter Meltdown and Chub Daniels Memorial. Coming off of the 2009 Fall Modified Nationals that saw Speedway Promoter Royal Jones drop jaws when he upped the winners purse $5,000 to $15,000 just minutes before the 50 lap A-Main event that would go to Las Cruces racer Johnny Scott after a wild battle with Jeremy Payne. There is no doubt the world of Modified racing will be watching to see what Jones has up his sleeve for the 2010 DIRTcar Modified Winter Meltdown.

More information is on the way as the final details on the Winter Meltdown are being ironed out and an official flyer and entry form will be posted within the next week. If there are any questions please call the Speedway at 575-524-7913 or e-mail Speedway Manager Annette Granado at annetteg@m-v-t.com.
