DODGE CITY, Kan. (March 30, 2016) Dodge City Raceway Park fires to life for the first time in 2016 with this Saturdays season-opening event atop the 3/8-mile clay oval.

It will be more than just the season-opening event though for the IMCA Modifieds. It will also serve as the one and only tune-up opportunity for the Fourth Annual Dodge City Modified Stampede that takes the city by storm on Saturday night, April 9.

The IMCA Modifieds will mix it up for a $1,200 winners share on April 9 with a full card of Precise Racing Products DCRP Sprint Cars, IMCA Sport Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars and IMCA Hobby Stocks in action as well.

Oberlins David Murray has topped three of four previous Dodge City Modified Stampede feature events including last years edition when he beat Cody Gearhart and 2014 winner Brendon Gemmill to the stripe. Murray swept through both nights of the inaugural edition in 2013, the only year the event included multiple nights.
