Many of the top drivers from the World of Outlaws did stop by and race at the old Marshall Speedway on occasion. Back in the seventies, an event called the "Missouri Sprint Nationals" was held each year at the State Fairgrounds 1/2 mile track in Sedalia and most of the drivers competing there would venture over to Marshall for the Sunday night of racing action. I remember Steve and Sammy, Tim Green, Garry Rush, and all of the mid-west area drivers competing against the local stars like Ken Taylor, Bill Utz, Tom Corbin, Tiger Bob Williams, Ray Lee Goodwin, and the Hibbard brothers. The place had the best race burgers and popcorn of all time.
