The program will mark not only the 30th Annual Season Opener for the quarter mile clay oval, but will also begin the points chase for the 2016 MMS Track Championships and Rookie of the Year honors. The season will also begin the addition of the USAC D2 Midget Shootout Dash along with the IGNITE High Performance Ethanol Bonus where the top 3 UMP Modified finishers for the first 3 races competing with IGNITE Fuel will receive cash bonuses (1st - $500. 2nd - $300. 3rd - $200).
