ONA, WV-When the 2024 schedule was released last fall, one of the biggest changes to the schedule was moving the tracks biggest event, the Mountaineer 100, to the spring and sanctioning it for the first time with the Midwest Modifieds Tour powered by Wheeler Trucking. The speedway has now finalized all of the details for the mega event.
The weekend will start with an open practice day on Friday, April 26th. Practice will run from 1:00 pm until 8:00 pm with pit gates opening at noon. Pit admission will be $25 for ages 13 and up and free for ages 12 and under. The Midwest Modifieds Tour powered by Wheeler Trucking and all Ona Speedway classes will be welcome to practice during the extended open practice session.
The Mountaineer 100 will take place on Saturday, April 27th with the racing card featuring the Midwest Modifieds Tour powered by Wheeler Trucking for 50 laps, Haunted Majestic Street Stocks for 50 laps to make up the 100 laps for the Mountaineer 100. All Seasons Powersports Late Models will run 35 laps, Contempo Trophy & Awards UCAR’s 30 laps, Three-Sixteen Motorsports INEX Legends Car Pro 20 laps, Three-Sixteen Motorsports INEX Legends Car Semi-Pro 20 laps, and Brody Nash Crown Vics 30 laps.

The Midwest Modifieds Tour powered by Wheeler Trucking is America’s premier open wheel Modified touring series with some of the best drivers in the country coming to Ona to compete.
