Save the Date – Sprint Car 101: Remembering the 1975 Season at Algona
Museum to Host First-Ever “Dirt Modified 101”, Featuring Kelly Shryock

Kelly Shryock will be at the Kossuth County Ag & Motorsports Museum, for the first “Dirt Modified 101” fan forum, to be held January 18th.
The Kossuth County Agriculture & Motorsports Museum will host “Dirt Modified 101, an Afternoon with Kelly Shryock” Sunday, January 18, 2015. The free and open-to-the-public fan forum starts at 2:00 p.m.
Shryock will discuss his racing career, his chassis business, share stories about his father, the late Bob Shryock, and answer questions from the audience. He is a nine-time USMTS national champion, 1991 IMCA Late Model Rookie of the Year, past Night of 1000 Stars champion, and is regarded as one of the top modified drivers of all-time.
The event builds on the successful Sprint Car 101 series held at the museum. “We are excited to host Kelly Shryock in January,” said Chad Meyer, museum volunteer. “The Shryock family has a rich history here. His father Bob raced here in the 1970’s and is a recent inductee into our racing hall of fame. Kelly has won at Algona in the USMTS series and in IMCA, he most recently won here in September during the Bob Shryock Memorial.”
Individuals interested in learning more about “Modified 101”, or the museum are urged to visit www.kossuthmuseum.com.
