For Immediate Release

This press release is not a standard release from Central Missouri Speedway (CMS). Instead, it has purposefully been written in the manor of storytelling rather than a PR format.

Sadly, this is the last release under the realm of Central Missouri Speedway as we have known it since 1994, when Earl and Susan Walls took over sole ownership and promotions of the speedway. Although there are 10 years of existence prior to 1994 of the speedway, the following information originates from the years of 1994 to 2025.

If and when the track sells, an official announcement will be made, but until then, enjoy this trip down memory lane to close out an incredible run for CMS, courtesy of 30-plus year track statistician, Glyda Jaeger, and her labor of statistical love.

From 1994 through 2025, CMS scheduled 708 race nights. Of those 613 nights of racing took place with 96 rained out events. There were 1,007 feature events held. The total car count was 49,524. The largest number of drivers competing in one season was 338 in 20`8 with the lowest being 177 in 1998.

There were 120 drivers who raced 10 or more seasons from 1994 to 2025. A total of 80 different drivers earned Track Championship honors at the track with Terry Schultz also leading this category with seven, followed by John Brooks with six, and Jacob Ebert and Richard Layne with five.

It has been an honor to serve as public relations, webmaster, scheduler, and official at CMS. As a PR Guy, Glyda’s statistics served as the backbone for every press release I authored from 2004 to 2025, thank you Glyda. To all the CMS faithful, until our paths may cross again, thank you and take good care.
