✅Springfield Raceway , Collins Property Management Group , Mr Dent & Today’s KTTS 94.7 FM Country’s Best Radio Station have teamed up to bring the KTTS DIRT TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS back to the Ozarks SATURDAY & SUNDAY September 5 & 6. KTTS is not a stranger to Huge Labor Day Dirt Track Racing Events leading all the way back to the mid late 1970s at the Bolivar Speedway promoted by Nevelle Neil.The Event was called the Fina Dirt Track Championships.The same type of Labor Day Weekend Event moved to Monett Speedway & was Promoted by Curtis Lockhart.Randy Mooneyman & his family took over Monett Speedway in 1980 labeling it the KTTS 4 State Dirt Track Championships.Randy continued the Labor Day Event until selling the track few years back.The continual tradition of this Labor Day weekend race seemed to dwindle as time passed.Springfield Raceway owner Jerry Hoffman stated “Growing up the KTTS Labor Day Race was always a big event & it really is an honor to have Randy Mooneyham as the Grand Marshal of our Ktts Dirt Track Championships . Randy & his family owned & operated dirt tracks around the area from 1980 until 2017 .The Mooneyham Family not only had a love for Dirt Track racing but a love as well for Republic Tiger Athletics.Randy served on the Republic R3 School Board for 15 years. Randy & his wife Linda had 5 children & they all participated in Republic Athletics. Two of their daughters went on to be teachers at Republic & one is a Coach . Randy & Linda’s entire family worked together at the race tracks all those years.The Springfield Raceway & the Mooneyham Family together are going to
have an Athletic Scholarship for a Graduating Senior for the class of 2026…
