    Thornton Makes History - Winning Second Straight Firecracker 100

    SARVER, PA (June 22, 2024) - No one in the 18-year history of the Firecracker 100 Presented by Big River Steel had ever won the crown jewel event in back-to-back years until Saturday night. Ricky Thornton Jr. led the last 55 laps to win the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series-sanctioned event earning $50,000 for his 11th series win of the season.In a race that saw six lead changes among three different drivers, Thornton dominated the last half of the race finishing over 12 seconds ahead of Devin Moran who ran second. Moran earned the Todd Steel Buildings Hard Charger of the Race coming from his 16th starting spot - passing Mike Marlar on lap 97 to gain the runner-up position.Marlar came home in third followed by Jonathan Davenport and Drake Troutman, who ran inside the top three until the waning laps of the race.Thornton grabbed the lead at the start of the race - leading the first two laps as he and Troutman ran door-to-door until Troutman, who was starting his first Firecracker 100 cleared Thornton to take over the lead for two circuits.Troutman's spot at the top was short-lived as Marlar went to the lead on lap five. Marlar held off Troutman and Thornton as back-to-back cautions slowed the field on laps 10 and 11. On what would be the final restart of the race Thornton cleared Troutman for second and set his sights on regaining the lead from Marlar.Marlar held the point until lap 38 when Thornton edged ahead, but a lap later Marlar would retake the lead which he held until lap 45 when Thornton again got by Marlar for the lead that he never relinquished.In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 39th time in his career Thornton led 59 laps to make Firecracker 100 history by winning the event in consecutive seasons for the first time since it started in 2007."There was a few times I would get to a lapped car and could never drive hard enough to get by him, and it would really slow my pace down. One time I tried to slow down in three and four and actually about went off the top, so I got into a good rhythm from there on. When this track is fast it's really fast, but once it's slick it's probably slicker than East Bay. It kind of reminds me of All-Tech, where for some reason we are really good there. I think our package suits this style of racetrack once it gets super clean and really slick and it got it done for us."Moran's brilliant charge needed to include a caution flag to have any shot at Thornton, but that never happened as the race went the final 89 laps without a yellow flag."I was mainly just bummed when I messed up in the heat race and that's why we had to start 16th and when Ricky's on the front row it makes it almost impossible. Good job and congrats to those guys. Good job to my crew I shouldn't be bummed that I ran second, but I just know how good of a race car we had, and I didn't give ourselves a chance. They did an awesome job with the racetrack, I didn't expect it to be that wet I ran out of tearoffs after about ten laps. We didn't have that many cautions and to come up there without many cautions is pretty cool and we will take it."Marlar, who was seeking his first career Firecracker 100 victory after two runner-up finishes in the event rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third."I just can't complete the corner. Ricky and Devin's cars from the center out can turn left and get the straight line down the straightaway better than me and I am headed the wrong way all the time in that area. I have to bend the car and manipulate it too much. I knew I was in trouble. I just tried to do what I could do, but I was struggling pretty bad there, and those guys were just better. Ricky raced me really good, and Devin did too, and it was fun racing on this track."The winner's Todd and Vickie Burns, SSI Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms, Dyno One Inc., West Side Tractor Sales, Bilstein Shocks, EMD Wraps, Sunoco Race Fuels, Murty Farms, and Strange Oval.Completing the top ten were Tim McCreadie, Garrett Alberson, Mason Zeigler, Hudson O'Neal, and Gregg Satterlee.Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Race Summary 18th Annual Firecracker 100 Presented by Big River SteelSaturday, June 22, 2024Lernerville Speedway - Sarver, PAPenske Shocks Heat Race #1 Finish (10 Laps, Top 3 Transfer): 1. 7T-Drake Troutman[1]; 2. 93F-Carson Ferguson[3]; 3. 6-Clay Harris[5]; 4. 19M-Spencer Hughes[4]; 5. 1*-Chub Frank[2]; 6. 10-John Garvin Jr[6]; 7. 17SS-Brenden Smith[7]; 8. 57-Bo Lockwood[8]; 9. 11P-Joshua Powell[9]Summit Racing Products Heat Race #2 Finish (10 Laps, Top 3 Transfer): 1. 20RT-Ricky Thornton Jr[1]; 2. 1-Tim McCreadie[2]; 3. 111-Max Blair[3]; 4. 48-Colton Flinner[4]; 5.

    Derek Brown earns emotional victory in Lucas Oil Speedway headliner; Lyle, Kruse, Wells also capture wins

    WHEATLAND, MO. (June 22, 2024) - Sixth-starting Derek Brown of Stoutland held off William Garner in a caution-free O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature to headline Saturday's Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series program at Lucas Oil Speedway.The victory, while worth $750 for Brown, was priceless for its personal meaning. He said in victory lane it was dedicated to his friend Brian Webster, a fellow racer who passed away on Friday due to cancer. Webster, 36, was a Richland High School graduate who drove in the USRA Stock Cars division."That one was for him," Brown said, noting that his motor's water temperature was running a red-hot 260 degrees late in the 25-lapper. "But I wasn't pulling off for nothing."Other feature winners on Ozarks Food Harvest Food Drive Night at the Races were Chad Lyle (Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds), Dustin Kruse (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models).Brown grabbed the lead on lap five of the USRA Stock Cars feature and didn't give it up, though things got a bit dicey near the finish as Garner applied pressure and a lapped car nearly spun Brown in the final turn"Luckily I had it straight enough when the run into me that I didn't spin out, but I sure thought I was there for a minute," Brown said.Midseason division points champ Jaylen Wettengel took the early lead from the front row, but Brown rolled from fifth into the top spot on lap five. Wettengel fell all the way back to fourth with Mason Beck and Garner in between he and Brown.Brown, Beck and Garner staged a three-way battled over the next several laps, not separated by more than a couple of car lengths. Brown was able to stave off the challengers and, with the race remaining green, built up a 1.5-second lead over Garner by lap 13.Garner cut into the lead and was within on second by lap 18 with Beck and Wettengal well behind. Once again, Garner pulled right on the back bumper of Brown to complete lap 21 as both drivers hugged the low groove.On the final lap, Garner made one final charge but Brown was able to hang on for a .630-second victory.Wettengel finished third with Beck fourth and Waylon Dimmitt fifth.Lyle earns USRA Modified victory: Chad Lyle of Lone Jack took the lead on lap four and drove away to win the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified victory, beating runner-up Jason Pursley by 1.7 seconds.Chris Spalding started on the pole and grabbed the lead at the start, but Lyle was able to advance from the fourth-starting spot into the lead by lap four.Lyle wasted no time opening up a 1.3-second lead over the next three laps with Lyle second and Pursley in third. Pursley used the high groove to power around Lyle for the runner-up spot on lap nine with Lyle nearly two seconds clear of the field.Caution flew on lap 10 for debris on the track, wiping out Lyle's margin. It didn't matter as Lyle had a solid restart and quickly drew off to another sizable lead and the race remained caution-free the rest of the way. It was the veteran driver's first victory of the season.Dean Wille rallied from eighth to third with Henry Chambers improving six positions from the start to come in fourth. Spalding wound up fifth.South Dakota invader Kruse wins USRA B-Mods: Dustin Kruse made the eight-hour haul from Baltic, S.D., worth it with a wire-to-wire victory in the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature.Kruse held off JC Morton after a late-race restart to win in his first visit to Lucas Oil Speedway in 2024."Holy cow, we won at Lucas Oil. That's awesome," Kruse said in victory lane. He noted that the only other time he has competed in Wheatland was at the 2022 USRA Nationals and it was not a good result."This red dirt is so different than that black dirt that we have back home," Kruse said, noting "we got our butts kicked" in his only other attempt at Lucas Oil Speedway.Outside pole-starting Kruse opened up a 2.1-second lead over fifth-starting Morton by lap four, with Eric Turner running third. Kruse continued to stretch his command, with a 2.6-second margin at the midway point.Morton moved to the high side of the track and began to cut into the lead as both had to deal with lapped traffic. Kruse's lead was back to two seconds by lap 16 when the first caution of the race put some mystery into the outcome as it set the stage for a four-lap shootout.Morton tried the low side on the restart, but couldn't make up any ground. Kruse rolled from there and beat Morton by 1.4 seconds.Jake Richards captured third with Turner fourth and Colson Kirk fifth.Wells bounces back in POWRi Late Models: After having his winning streak snapped at six on June 15, Justin Wells returned to victory lane in the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model division.Wells, the veteran from Aurora, led all 20 laps and held off Tommy Cordray after a late restart. Wells is seven-for-eight this season after his streak ended a week earlier."Track position meant a lot tonight," Wells said after scoring win No. 112 in his 2006 TNT chassis. "We didn't feel too balanced. I don't know, we're off just a little bit somewhere, so we'll have to go home and work on it. But I'm sure glad to get the victory."Wells started up front after winning his heat race and set a blistering pace in the feature. He needed only five laps to led Tyler Kuykendall by two seconds with JC Morton third.The reigning track champion kept pouring it on from there, with a 3.4-second gap by lap 10. That's when the caution flew as Kuykendall spun in turn four as he and Morton were battling for position. Kuykendall had to restart at the rear, leaving Morton in second, Cordray third and Tucker Cox fourth.Cordray cleared Morton after the restart in turn four of lap 11, but Wells again checked out from the field. Wells was 4.4 seconds in front when another yellow slowed the action on lap 17 with Cox spinning in turn two.Wells handled the restart and held off a strong-running Cordray over the final three circuits. The final margin was three-quarters of a second.Jim Greenway finished third with Morton fourth and Richard Kimberling fifth.LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY UNOFFICIAL RESULTS (June 22, 2024)Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship SeriesO'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock CarsA Feature - 1. 11-Derek Brown[5]; 2. 7-William Garner[6]; 3. 91J-Jaylen Wettengel[1]; 4. 0F-Mason Beck[3]; 5. 11W-Waylon Dimmitt[12]; 6. 8M-James McMillin[8]; 7. 33X-Justin Custer[9]; 8. 74-Rodney Schweizer[4]; 9. 15X-Corey Myers[10]; 10. 05G-Grayson McKiney[2]; 11. 22-Dawson Fennewald[13]; 12. 83-James Ellis[15]; 13. 24-Blayne McMillin[14]; 14.

    Troutman and Moran Highlight Friday Prelims at Lernerville

    SARVER, PA (June 21, 2024) - Drake Troutman and Devin Moran scored Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series preliminary feature wins on Friday night at Lernerville Speedway.Troutman earned his first career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory in the first 25-lap race earning $5,000 for his win. Moran scored his third Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the year - also pocketing $5,000 for winning the second main event of the night.Troutman outran Ross Robinson, Tim McCreadie, Garrett Alberson, and Gregg Satterlee for the win in the first feature event.Mason Zeigler and Troutman had a great battle for the top spot - trading the lead four times in the first nine laps of the race until Troutman was able to gain some breathing room over Zeigler at that point.McCreadie moved to second on lap 12 as he and Robinson raced side-by-side for several laps until the final circuit when Robinson was able to edge out the two-time champion at the finish. Troutman's winning margin was 0.443 seconds.In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the first time in his career, Troutman became the 91st different driver to win a series race. "I don't even know what to say to be honest with you," said the 19-year-old from Hyndman, Pennsylvania. "I didn't think we would get one of those for a while for sure. I don't know what to say, I am speechless. I've just got a bunch of kids working for me," as his voice trailed off."There was a pretty big cushion up there on the top side. We were just able to really race good there on the bottom. This Longhorn Chassis is really good. We've fought a lot of bad luck and just things happening, we are learning everyday on what not to do. We wanted to put on a good show for you fans so I guess we will see what we have for tomorrow night. This one's for my dad for sure."Robinson, who ran fourth in the Show-Me 100 last month finished in the runner-up spot in the first preliminary feature after getting by McCreadie on the final lap."That's cool for Drake. He's a darn good kid and he's a heck of a shoe so I mean he earned it. He gets it done at a place I am not that comfortable at I can't run the top like he can. It's really cool to be up here on the podium again."McCreadie continues to make strides with the Rocket1 team as he earned another Big River Steel Podium finish, after running as high as second in the race."Congrats to him [Troutman]. He's a really good kid. He races as hard as he can, and he really doesn't get into anybody out here. It's hard to race and not touch anybody. Like I said they are good people, and he did a great job tonight."The winner's DTR Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Jay Dickens Racing Engine and sponsored by RFI Resources, Wheeler Fleet Solutions, Stone Natural Resources, Smith Warehouse, Jerry's Siding, Roofing, and Windows, Certain Teed, Thunderhill Trucking, Coltman Farms. Morocco Welding, Glassmere, Shaffer Construction, Shoe's Diesel Repair, Sunoco Race Fuels, and Bilstein Shocks. Completing the top ten in the first feature were Mason Zeigler, Jared Miley, Tyler Wyant, Jimmy Owens, and Trevor Collins.The second feature saw defending Lernerville track champion and current points leader Michael Norris bolt from his pole starting spot to take the lead. Norris held the lead until he bumped the cushion in turn two which allowed Moran to take over the lead on lap six.Norris then entered turn one at full speed and went over the turn one embankment after making contact with the outside wall to bring out the first caution of the race.Moran then held a steady lead over the field as Thornton tried to chase him down. A caution with 16 laps scored allowed Thornton and Marlar to restart behind Moran. Moran pulled away in the final nine laps as Marlar got by Thornton on lap 20 to take second where he stayed in until the checkers fell. Hudson O'Neal and Jonathan Davenport rounded out the top five.In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 11th time in his career Moran was needing a good run after suffering DNF the night before.Moran commented in Victory Lane regarding the track prep done before the second feature began. "I mean I knew it was hard [the racing surface]. I was kind of giggling about it, everybody else was freaking out about it. We really didn't do anything, didn't change tires like everybody else did. It worked out in our favor. The guys did a good job.""It's awesome to finally get a win here. This is such a historic track, and they always do a great job on the racetrack and I love coming here. I am glad to get my first win at Lernerville and it would be awesome to get one tomorrow night in front of all of the Big River Steel people." Marlar, who started eighth climbed to second at the finish in his Skyline Motorsports entry. "We probably get to start out front in a heat race tomorrow night. If you can win or don't win a heat race you are still pretty good in the feature so that's a big help. I am really happy to be back up here on the podium tonight. I had a really good car tonight even though I started back there a ways."Thornton rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "I had a good car I felt like we had the wrong tire there. They watered it and it looked like it would be a lot muddier than it was. Congrats to Devin, his stuff was pretty good. Hopefully it sets us up for a good starting spot in a heat race tomorrow."The winner's Roger Sellers, Double Down Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, C&W Trucking, Lazydays RV, Red Oak Pub, CarSourceAuto.com, Pee Wee's Wrecker Service, Lincoln Smith Racing, Haulin' Haskell's, Smoky Mountain Speedway, and Bilstein ShocksCompleting the top ten in the second feature were Max Blair, Ken Schaltenbrand, Chub Frank, Carson Ferguson, and Spencer Hughes.Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Race Summary 18th Annual Firecracker 100 Presented by Big River Steel | Night 2Friday, June 21, 2024Lernerville Speedway - Sarver, PAAllstar Performance Time TrialsFast Time Group A: Drake Troutman | 15.589 secondsFast Time Group B: Michael Norris | 15.524 seconds (overall)Penske Shocks Group A | Heat Race #1 Finish (8 Laps, All Transfer): 1. 7T-Drake Troutman[1]; 2. 1-Tim McCreadie[3]; 3. 58-Garrett Alberson[2]; 4. 6-Clay Harris[4]; 5. 93-Cory Lawler[5]; 6. 00-Tyler Dietz[7]; 7. 10L-Gary Lyle[8]; 8. 9-Breyton Santee[9]; 9. 88-Chad Green[6]Summit Racing Products Group A | Heat Race #2 Finish (8 Laps, All Transfer): 1. 25Z-Mason Zeigler[1]; 2. 18D-Daulton Wilson[3]; 3. 75-Jared Miley[5]; 4. 22-Gregg Satterlee[2]; 5. 20-Jimmy Owens[6]; 6. 101-Forrest Trent[7]; 7.

    Thornton and Davenport Take Thursday Prelims at Lernerville

    SARVER, PA (June 20, 2024) - Ricky Thornton Jr. and Jonathan Davenport spilt the 25 lap Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series features on Thursday night at Lernerville Speedway.Thornton captured the first 25-lap main worth $5,000 for his tenth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of 2024. Mike Marlar was second followed by Garrett Alberson, Michael Norris, and Jimmy Owens.Thornton received the most pressure during the race from Devin Moran who ran in second from lap nine to lap 22 when he slowed in turn two with a flat right rear tire. His night would come to an end after bringing out the final caution of the race. Marlar then picked up the second spot and tried valiantly to stay with Thornton but fell 0.555 seconds short at the finish. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 38th time in his career, Thornton broke a tie for sixth-place with Tim McCreadie on the series' all-time win list.Thornton, who is the reigning Firecracker 100 winner got off to a good for the weekend. "It was super technical tonight. I felt like getting in both turns the cushion was over the top. I am thankful for that first yellow, because Devin drove right around us on the top. I didn't really know if the bottom or the top was going to be good, and I fired off so good on the bottom and I thought the bottom was going to be really good. When Devin drove by me I think he might have set sail. I think he might have won."Marlar, who started fifth moved to second after Moran's departure and had one last shot at Thornton in a three-lap shootout at the end."I knew when he had those three laps in the clean air, I wasn't going to be able to pass him. I hated to see that caution come out, but it was going to be hard to get by him anyway. It was treacherous there on that cushion, it will bite you. I as wanting to run it so bad and after what I seen happen to Devin, I thought man after three or four nights of bad finishes I need to get something going here. I wanted to get it back to the trailer without wrecking.""That restart was good for us," said Alberson who rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "I hated what happened to Devin there I think he shredded a tire. That was a bummer for him. He was really having a good night. I got by Hud [O'Neal] there. We are lacking just a little bit to run up front with these guys for the lead, so we've got to work on it. I am super happy to be up here with these guys on the podium."The winner's Todd and Vickie Burns, SSI Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms, Dyno One, Inc., West Side Tractor Sales, Bilstein Shocks, EMD Wraps, Sunoco Race Fuels, Murty Farms, and Strange Oval.Completing the top ten in the first feature were Hudson O'Neal, Tim McCreadie, Spencer Hughes, Max Blair, and Mason Zeigler.Davenport led wire-to-wire in the second 25 lapper also worth $5,000 for his 78th career win with the tour. Chub Frank was second followed by Drake Troutman, Daulton Wilson, and Ross Robinson.In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the fourth time this season, Davenport had to wait through several caution flags to get the win. "We weren't as good after about the third time when you are hit in the left rear tire on the restarts. I don't know if we bent a shock or whatever we will have to check that out. We were o.k. last weekend, but we weren't great. This car performs better than that, so we took this whole thing apart, and we found a few things that just wasn't right about it. So, we brought it here and obviously it was a lot better. I like the place I just have never been able to figure it out," said Davenport who is seeking his first-ever win in the Firecracker 100 on Saturday night.Frank, who was looking for his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win in 18 years, came from the sixth starting spot and stayed in the hunt until the checkers fell coming home runner-up."I needed a little more bottom on the track. He [Davenport] got up on top and that top was a little treacherous, we saw some of those other guys having trouble up there. I ran the top a couple of times on the restart, but there was no way I was staying up there. I have already flipped once this week so there was no reason to go up there. I really like this car and I really don't want to flip it. I probably just needed a little more bottom to have a chance to run with him. It started drying out pretty bad on the bottom and I just couldn't get off the corner as good as I could earlier."Troutman, who currently holds down the second spot in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Rookie of the Year chase rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third."We definitely have our confidence up after our run tonight. These boys are like a bunch of dogshere this week after we got pretty tore up at Smoky Mountain last week. I know this is split features, but it feels good to be up here with these guys. It's been a dream come true to race with these guys week-in and week-out. I am learning everyday. I just have to thank all of my guys on the crew that work for me."The winner's Lance and Darla Landers, Double L Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, Dyna Gro Seed, BobCat of Batesville, Lucas Oil Products, Bilstein Shocks, Mark Martin Automotive, Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas, VP Fuels, and ASC Warranty.Completing the top ten in second feature were Carson Ferguson, Tyler Wyant, Forrest Trent, Colton Flinner, and Clay Harris.Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Race Summary 18th Annual Firecracker 100 Presented by Big River Steel | Night 1Thursday, June 20, 2024Lernerville Speedway - Sarver, PAAllstar Performance Time TrialsFast Time Group A: Mason Zeigler | 15.182 seconds (overall)Fast Time Group B: Jonathan Davenport | 15.193 secondsPenske Shocks Group A | Heat Race #1 Finish (8 Laps, Top 6 Transfer): 1. 20RT-Ricky Thornton Jr[3]; 2. 99-Devin Moran[4]; 3. 72-Michael Norris[2]; 4. 19M-Spencer Hughes[7]; 5. 25Z-Mason Zeigler[1]; 6. 11C-Trevor Collins[6]; 7. 555-Brock Pinkerous[5]; 8. 9-Breyton Santee[8]; 9. 44-Joe Petyak[9]Summit Racing Products Group A | Heat Race #2 Finish (8 Laps, Top 6 Transfer): 1. 58-Garrett Alberson[1]; 2. 157-Mike Marlar[2]; 3. 20-Jimmy Owens[3]; 4. 10-John Garvin Jr[4]; 5. 2-Dan Stone[6]; 6. 40-Michael Duritsky Jr[7]; 7. 9Y-Levi Yetter[5]; 8. 10L-Gary Lyle[8]; 9. 11P-Joshua Powell[9]Earnhardt Technologies Group A | Heat Race #3 Finish (8 Laps, Top 6 Transfer): 1. 71-Hudson O'Neal[1]; 2. 1-Tim McCreadie[3]; 3. 111-Max Blair[4]; 4. 1C-Alex Ferree[2]; 5. 75-Jared Miley[5]; 6. 29-Ken Schaltenbrand[6]; 7. 15K-Jamie Lathroum[7]; 8. 57-Bo Lockwood[9]; 9.

    Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Sheets having a season worth dancing about in USRA B-Mods

    WHEATLAND, MO. (June 20, 2024) - Not much is keeping Jon Sheets away from victory lane in the USRA B-Mod division this season as the Nevada driver has eight feature victories at seven different tracks.Sheets' latest came last Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway when not even a mid-race mishap courtesy of a lapped car, which resulted in major body damage to Sheets' machine, could stop him from driving to the latest Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod triumph.That meant another dancing celebration for Sheets - at least digitally. Videos of Sheets or another crew member - or in the latest case Sheets and father-in-law Kevin Morrow - have become popular on the Reels portion of the Morrow Sheets Facebook page.Despite being encouraged by flagman/victory lane interviewer Mike Striegel, Sheets declined to dance in real time."That is 110 percent my wife (Kayla)," Sheets said of the creative video work. "She made the first one for our crew guy, 'Bub.' He works his butt off for us in the shop every week. I'd hate to know the number of tires he always has done this year."We were having fun with him and it got a lot of feedback and she's kept it going. It's a pretty cool little deal. People talk about it any way. It's all in fun. We like to keep it light and have a good time."Sheets looks to put his dancing shoes on again Saturday night when it's Ozarks Food Harvest Food Drive Night at the Races at Lucas Oil Speedway. Fans bringing four non-perishable food items will be admitted free.Racing action resumes on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway with the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock cars headlining the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series program, running a 25-lap, $750-to-win feature. Fans also have a chance to help those in need at the annual Ozarks Food Harvest Food Driver Night at the Races. Those bringing four non-perishable food items to the front gate will be admitted free to the grandstands.Sheets credits a good race car for much of his success. He's driving a new J2 chassis with just eight nights of action on it after selling the J2 he began the season in to Jake Richards. He began driving a J2 midway through the 2022 season and has found big success ever since."Right when I got one mid-year the first year they started building them, it was kind of an instant success," Sheets said. "We won like our third week in with it and kind of kept momentum the whole time and never really hit a slump."After eight feature victories in 2023, Sheets is on pace to surpass that this season."It's just a well-balanced car with a lot of good minds behind it with Kris (Jackson) and Tony (Jackson Jr.). Kris' track record at Lucas isn't bad and when you have somebody with his experience giving you advice and helping you keep things tuned in, it never hurts anything."It almost didn't matter how good the car was last weekend when Sheets made heavy contact from a slowing car. He was able to keep it rolling to avoid having to restart at the rear of the field and maintained his lead the rest of the way."We got back in the shop and surprisingly enough, it wasn't too bad on bent parts," Sheets said. "The body was awfully tore up. After that caution, I couldn't stick the right rear quite like I could before. I credit a lot of that to the body damage. As much as people don't think so, I think aero (aerodynamics) plays a pretty good role into these things any more."But for the most part, we got out of there pretty lucky because that could have gone disastrous for us pretty quick.Sheets, 30, is in his 17th year of racing after his dad, Monte, got him a Street Stock as a 13-year-old. He soon moved into Modifieds and, other than a brief stint in a ULMA Late Model in 2015, he's become known as one of the area's top B-Mod drivers."I really liked driving them," Sheets said of the Late Model, "but at that time having two cars really wasn't working. We dropped back to what we knew, which was the Modified and have been there ever since."Sheets hopes there are more trip to victory lane - and more dancing videos - to come. There's nothing like positive attention to boost morale and increase sponsors' profiles."There's a lot of people that help us," Sheets said. "Any sort of spotlight that we can put on the team which brings attention to our sponsors, that's big. Without them we couldn't get up and down the road."Team sponsors include J2 Race Cars by MSR, Eagle Machine, Reed Environmental, Elite Auto Complex LLC, Herren Construction, Wosoba Trucking LLC, Klingaman Fencing, Nevada Westside Laundry, Signature Event Rentals and Coordinating, Morrow Show Steers, Ricketts Southside Plaza, Allen's Automotive Inc., and RCR Designs.Pit gates open at 4 p.m. Saturday, with grandstand gates open at 4:30, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.Youngsters can sign up before 5 p.m. at the RCR Designs Jr. Fan Club for a chance to join a golf cart pit tour led by flagman Mike Striegel where they will meet drivers and collect autographs.Saturday admission:Advance Discount Tickets online only (13 and up) - $12Adults (13 and up) - $15Seniors/Military (62-and-over) - $12Youth (ages 6-12) - $5Kids - (5 and under) - FREEFamily pass - $35Pit pass - $35*Grandstand admittance free with four non-perishable food itemsFor ticket information on any Lucas Oil Speedway event, contact Admissions Director Nichole McMillan at (417) 295-6043 or via email at nmcmillan@lucasoilspeedway.com.CONTACT:Danny LortonLucas Oil Speedway General ManagerOffice: (417) 282-5984 DLorton@lucasoilspeedway.com# # #Lucas Oil Speedway is located at Highways 83 and 54 in Wheatland, Missouri.

    Fennewald ends Wells' POWRi Late Model streak, collects bounty at Lucas Oil Speedway Midseason Championship program

    WHEATLAND, MO. (June 15, 2024) - The bounty has been collected.Johnny Fennewald of Appleton City led all 20 laps to capture the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model feature Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Fennewald ended Justin Wells' feature win streak at six and claimed a $500 bounty in beating the reigning track champion.Wells was involved in a lap-six incident and had to restart at the rear of the field. He wound up seventh - but the way Fennewald was on a rail throughout it probably would not have mattered. While the bounty money was nice, Fennewald said he wishes he could have won it by outrunning Wells."Honestly, I wouldn't even care if they paid me that bounty after this week; I want to race door-to-door and outrun him," Fennewald said of Wells.Other feature winner on the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series Midseason Championships program Presented by the Bolivar Herald-Free Press included: Jon Sheets (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Mason Beck (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars), Tyler Wolff (Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds) and Derek Brown (guest class POWRi Super Stocks).Wells did claim the midseason championship, along with JC Morton (USRA B-Mods), Ryan Middaugh (USRA Modifieds) and Jaylen Wettengel (USRA Stock Cars).Along with the midseason title, the night was far from a total loss for Wells. He captured the Late Model race to begin the program, a makeup from a rainout on Show-Me 100 weekend. He claimed $2,000 for that win, his sixth without a loss at the speedway in 2024.But Wells was unable to make it 7-for-7 in the regular main event."Congratulations to Johnny, he ran a good race," Wells said.Fennewald rolled to a 2.1-second lead over Kaeden Cornell just five laps into the race with JC Morton in third and the sixth-starting Wells in fourth. Just one lap later, a caution for debris bunched the field and took away Fennewald's lead.One lap after the restart, third-running Cornell took a wild ride when he and Wells made contact entering turn one. Cornell's car went up and over in mid-air before landing on all four wheels. Cornell was not injured, but the car suffered major damage.Wells, as one of the car involved in the red-flag incident, restarted 17th with 14 laps remaining."We just didn't get it done tonight and I feel bad for Kaeden," Wells said. "I don't even think he knew I was there when we went into the corner. I'm more worried about him than anything, I don't care about winning the race. I hate it for him."When action resumed, Fennewald sprinted to a two-second advantage over Morton at the halfway point. He kept building on the margin from there as Sawyer Crigler passed Morton for second on lap 14.Fennewald remained in command as the race went without another stoppage and he finished 3.4 seconds in front of Crigler. Morton finished third, Tucker Cox was fourth and Andy Bryant took fifth."We've been struggling a little bit down here," Fennewald said in victory lane. "New tires and new dirt, it's not the same as what it was last year. We were just a few clicks off.Wells was able to rally for seventh, but saw his winning streak end on Night One of the bounty hunt.Wells started the night by winning the $2,000, 30-lap makeup feature that was rained out on Show-Me 100 weekend. Wells took the lead on lap six, built a sizable cushion and then held off Andy Bryant at the finish.Tucker Cox outgunned fellow front-row starter Wells on the start and led the reigning champ through the first four laps, when the event's first caution flew. Two laps after the restart, Wells roared by Cox on the inside of turn four.Wells sailed from there to a two-second lead by lap 15, when he encountered lapped traffic for the first time. Behind him, Bryant got around Cox for second at the halfway mark.With the action remaining green to the finish, Wells gradually kept lengthening his lead as he used the high groove. Bryant mounted a late charge after moving to the low line, but Wells was able to hang on by four-tenths of a second for his sixth feature win in six tries at the speedway in 2024.Fennewald was 2.6 seconds behind to grab third with Tyler Kuykendall fourth and Cox fifth.Sheets goes wire-to-wire in USRA B-Mods: Jon Sheets of Nevada led all 20 laps and held off midseason champion JC Morton of Springfield for the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win.Sheets started on the pole and set the pace from the green, opening a one-second lead over third-starting Ryan Gillmore by lap five. Gillmore cut the margin to a half-second by the midpoint, lap 10, with JC Morton two more seconds behind in third.The leaders found lapped traffic on lap 14, and that proved to be an issue for Sheets. He made heavy contact with the suddenly slowing car of Christopher Watts, causing major body damage to the right side of Sheets' No. 8. But Sheets never stopped rolling and that allowed him to maintain the first position for the restart.Gillmore slipped on the restart, allowing Morton to take second as Sheets opened a four-car-length lead. Morton moved to the high side and cut in to the lead coming to the third flag with Gillmore also right behind.Sheets, body damage and all, held on by .280 seconds for the victory over Morton, with Gillmore third. Eric Turner finished fourth and Mitch Keeter was fifth."I sure thought he was going to stay in the middle," Sheets said of the slowing lapped car. "Obviously that caused us a lot of work this week. Luckily enough we were able to hold on. I could see JC coming there. It's kind of a thing that you're praying the laps are going to run out soon enough."Morton's finish was good enough to give him the midseason points championship."We just have to keep maintaining it," Morton said in looking ahead to the remainder of the season. "You keep the top-five finishes going and you'll be there at the end of the year."Beck takes USRA Stock Cars thriller: Mason Beck of Urbana won a classic duel over the final laps with William Garner to claim the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win.Jaylen Wettengel of Topeka, Kan., finished third and it was enough to nail down the midseason championship for him.Beck, who started sixth, drove around the outside of Wettengel to take over the lead on lap five of a feature plagued by six cautions. Wettengel started up front and paced the first five circuits, with two cautions slowing the action.Beck, Wettengel and William Garner were all battling for the top spot when a lap-nine caution interrupted the competition. Beck moved to the high side after the restart and was able to open a one-second lead by lap 12 with Garner second and Wettengel third.Just as Beck was establishing control, a fourth caution flew to erase his 1.2-second lead on lap 13. Garner pulled alongside Beck after the restart, with the two dueling three straight laps until a fifth caution came out with four to go.The leads came to the white flag side-by-side and Beck was able to hold on at the finish by .043 seconds - less than a half-car-length."That was a good race," Beck said. "Me and Will always race hard. We always put on good races for everybody. He's a heck of a wheel man, too. We've raced together since I started."Wettengel wound up third, which was just enough to give him the midseason championship. He has two runner-up finishes to go with one third."There toward the end I was watching the whole race and it was a good race," Wettengel said. "I'm not too mad about the results," Wettengel said.Rodney Schweizer finished fourth with James Ellis fifth.Wolff rolls to USRA Modifieds win: Tyler Wolff overwhelmed the field in the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified main event, leading all 20 laps to score a runaway victory over Trevor Hughes.From outside the front row, Wolff beat pole-starter Hughes into turn one and set the pace.

    Overton Banks $50,000 in Mountain Moonshine Classic at Smoky Mountain

    MARYVILLE, Tenn. (June 15, 2024) - Brandon Overton was in charge from the start of the Mountain Moonshine Classic on Saturday night at Smoky Mountain Speedway - collecting $50,000 for the win in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series sanctioned event after leading all 60 laps of the race.Overton held off challenges early from Ryan Gustin and late in the race from Ricky Thornton Jr. but never trailed for his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of 2024.Thornton finished in second and Gustin rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Jonathan Davenport was fourth and Brandon Sheppard completed the top five finishers.In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 18th time in his career the Evans, Georgia driver became the 11th different winner this year on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series."I didn't know if I was ever going to win another race. I have been knotted up all day. We were not very good last night, and we worked on it. We qualified good, we heat raced good, and I knew it was all up to me to not screw it up. We made the right decisions and I think the first lap me and Ryan, we both knew getting out in front early was important. We kind of rubbed down there, but that's awesome we were the only two Infinity Chassis' here and we ran one-two most of the race. So, hats off to Eric [Wells] and everybody back at the shop. To win in front of all these people I appreciate all of you coming out. It was a special night."Thornton chased down Overton in the closing laps but ran out of time falling 0.824 seconds short at the finish."It was a really good night for us. I was a little mad I didn't qualify in front of Brandon in our group. I knew him starting on the pole that it was going to be really tough to pass him. The lapped cars made it really tough on him there was a lot of them that you kind of had to slide and hope they slowed down. All-in-all it was good weekend for us. Congrats to Overton and to Ryan for a good race as well."For Gustin it was his first Big River Steel Podium finish since All-Tech earlier in the year."We'll take it, obviously when those yellows kept coming out I kept taking the top on those restarts. I would get a good start, but Ricky had a really good restart there on the last one he got us. I've got to tip my hat to him he left me room on every restart so thanks to him for that. These Infinity Chassis have been really good, we have been off a little there compared to where we needed to be. To finish third in a crown jewel race we will take it anytime."The winner's Wells and Sons Motorsports, Infinity by Wells Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Coltman Farms, Garnto Southern, Big Dog Stump and Tree, Boswell Oil, R.W. Powell Construction, Convenient Lube, Muscle Factory, Harco Construction, and Victory Fuel, Hurst Construction, All-Star Concrete, Penske Racing Shocks, and Dirt Mafia.Completing the top ten were Devin Moran, Tim McCreadie, Nick Hoffman, Dale McDowell, and Kyle Bronson.Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Race Summary Mountain Moonshine Classic | Night 2Saturday, June 15, 2024Smoky Mountain Speedway - Maryville, TNAllstar Performance Time TrialsFast Time Group A: Brandon Overton | 15.459 seconds (overall)Fast Time Group B: Devin Moran | 15.483 secondsPenske Shocks Heat Race #1 Finish (8 Laps, Top 4 Transfer): 1. 76-Brandon Overton[1]; 2. 49-Jonathan Davenport[2]; 3.

    Thornton Sweeps Night One of Mountain Moonshine Classic at Smoky Mountain

    MARYVILLE, Tenn. (June 14, 2024) - The current Big River Steel Chase for the Championship presented by ARP points leader, Ricky Thornton, Jr. led all the way to win Friday night's $10,000 to win Mountain Moonshine Classic opener at Smoky Mountain Speedway.Thornton collected his ninth series win of the 2024 as he crossed the finish line 1.240 seconds ahead of second-place finisher Tim McCreadie. Dale McDowell rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third followed by Devin Moran and Daulton Wilson.With his 37th career win Thornton has now tied McCreadie for sixth on the series' all-time win list as he now sets his sights on his second consecutive Mountain Moonshine Classic win paying $50,000 on Saturday night."I didn't mind seeing that yellow," said Thornton referring to the only caution of the race for Drake Troutman's flat tire with 25 laps scored. Thornton was racing in heavy traffic as McDowell had closed to within a car length of Thornton before the yellow flag waved."I was running too hard trying to get by the lapped cars there. I was really beating my tires. So, the yellow came out and I saw T-Mac get back to second and I knew he didn't pass Dale on the bottom, so I knew I had to move up and just try and keep some speed there. Me and Ross [Robinson] hit a little bit there when I was lapping him. He was just trying to race, and he had no idea I was there so luckily it wasn't too bad. Overall, it was a really good night for us, I think we broke the track record in qualifying. Hopefully the car is this good tomorrow."McCreadie, who was coming off a second-place finish in the Show-Me 100 claimed the runner up spot again Friday night at Smoky Mountain."Yeah, we will take it. I mean these guys went to work everyday this week after Eldora trying to make this car more suitable to me as a driver and it came right out of the box tonight and was fast from the get-go. This is the first night we probably put together a whole night where we have been good all night."McDowell was putting the pressure on Thornton as the two maneuvered through traffic, but the caution flag did not help McDowell's cause in trying to pass Thornton for the race lead."I just didn't want to see that caution; Ricky really didn't know where to go when you're leading. I could get right there and work around, but when the caution came out, I didn't really know where to choose. I felt the top and I was a little tight. Shane [McDowell] didn't really have time with the track conditions. It was a good night; it is good anytime you can finish in the top three or five with these guys."The winner's Todd and Vickie Burns, SSI Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms, Dyno One Inc., West Side Tractor Sales, Bilstein Shocks, EMD Wraps, Sunoco Race Fuels, and Murty Farms.Completing the top ten were Mike Marlar, Brandon Overton, Nick Hoffman, Garrett Alberson, and Jonathan Davenport.Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Race Summary Mountain Moonshine Classic | Night 1Friday, June 14, 2024Smoky Mountain Speedway - Maryville, TNAllstar Performance Time TrialsFast Time Group A: Ricky Thornton, Jr. | 13.661 seconds (overall)Fast Time Group B: Devin Moran | 13.892 secondsPenske Shocks Heat Race #1 Finish (8 Laps, Top 4 Transfer): 1. 20RT-Ricky Thornton Jr[1]; 2. 76-Brandon Overton[2]; 3. 71-Hudson O'Neal[4]; 4. 111-Max Blair[3]; 5. 1G-Rusty Ballenger[7]; 6. 83-Jensen Ford[9]; 7.

    Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Darren Phillips looks to make final racing season a memorable one

    WHEATLAND, MO. (June 12, 2024) - Darren Phillips has enjoyed a 27-year racing career on area dirt tracks, driving in a variety of divisions along the way. His top goal always has been to enjoy the ride, with his family.It all began when Phillips got to race with his brother, Darrell Rife in 4-cylinders at Nevada Speedway, and has evolved to racing with his 23-year-old son Dalton Phillips. But Darren's time behind the wheel is starting to wind down.Phillips announced earlier this year that the 2024 racing season would be his last. He's doing so by realizing a long-time dream of driving a Late Model and Phillips is having a solid season, currently eighth in the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model points chase at Lucas Oil Speedway."Last year we went out and played around on the boat, did a bunch of other stuff with family, and had fun with it," Phillips said. "It's time to find something else to do. I've enjoyed my racing career a lot. I've met a lot of my closest friends racing."About everywhere you go you're going to meet somebody or run into somebody you know. You're gonna run into some people you have hard feelings with. But the next time, they might become some of your closest friends. I've had a few of those."Phillips, 46, is looking forward to Saturday night's doubleheader at his hometown track in Wheatland. Along with the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series Midseason Championships, the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models will run their makeup feature from a May 25th rainout. That $2,000-to-win race will lead off the program.Phillips has been a familiar face on area speedways, going back to the opening of the original Wheatland Raceway in the early 2000s. Phillips drove Factory Stocks in those days and has spent time in Modifieds, B-Mods, Mod Lites and USRA Stock Cars before finally taking a shot at Late Models midway through last season."That was my dream since I was a little kid," Phillips said, recalling how he grew up watching MLRA Late Model standouts like Alan Vaughan and David Turner race at Nevada. "I loved watching all those guys and my dream was to run a Late Model. I knew I couldn't afford it … I still can't afford it, but I do what I can."When I had a chance to get into first Late Model I bought last year, I had a blast."Phillips traded his USRA Stock Car for a Late Model this season has said it's "been a fun time" as he's adjusted to car."We started out the year a little rocky trying to learn the new car," he said. "I think I've got it working pretty good now. I've had a few good runs the last little bit. I'm looking forward to this weekend after the last three weekends when I've run pretty strong."Included were a pair of ninth-place feature runs at Lucas Oil Speedway and a fifth at Central Missouri Speedway. He's eighth in Lucas Oil Speedway points, putting him within realistic range of achieving one of his goals."I would like to finish top five at Lucas for points and finish top 10, if not the top five, in (POWRi) national points," he said. "Those are the biggest goals to end my career."The 2021 USRA Stock Cars Central Region champion and 2023 Bolivar Speedway champ in USRA Stock Cars said he has a lot of people to thank for supporting his racing career. Topping the list are his significant other, Bobbi Lehman, and five children. The family serves as his crew on race nights."I just want to thank everybody that's helped me and thank all my kids for being there and helping me and thank my wife for sticking with me," Phillips said. "My kids have been with me 100 percent. I've enjoyed doing this with my kids."The Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series Midseason Championship is Presented by the Bolivar Herald-Free Press.

Each week that the bounty doesn't get claimed, $100 will be added - June 22nd ($600), July 4th ($700), July 20th ($800) and July 27th ($900)."If no one claims the bounty in the five-week hunt, then Wells will receive the $900 bounty money which we will top it off with an extra $100 to make it an even $1,000 if he can outrun the bounty hunters," Lorton said. "These four races, the bounty has to be earned legally, the driver's car has to pass tech 100 percent and Justin has to have finished the race for it to be claimed."Look for discount coupons to Saturday's action in The Bolivar Herald-Free Press.Saturday admissionAdvance tickets (13 and over, online only) - $12Adults (ages 13 and over) - $15Seniors (62 and up)/Military - $12Youth (ages 6-12) - $5Kids GA (5 and under) - FREEPit pass - $35Family pass (up to two adults, two youth, one FREE go-kart ride and 10 percent off Track Treasures Gift Shop purchase) - $35For ticket information on any Lucas Oil Speedway event, contact Admissions Director Nichole McMillan at (417) 295-6043 or via email at nmcmillan@lucasoilspeedway.com.CONTACT:Danny LortonLucas Oil Speedway General ManagerOffice: (417) 282-5984 DLorton@lucasoilspeedway.com# # #Lucas Oil Speedway is located at Highways 83 and 54 in Wheatland, Missouri.

    Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Wettengel knocking on the door in USRA Stock Car, with B-Mod also in hunt

    WHEATLAND, MO. (June 5, 2024) - After occasional appearances at Lucas Oil Speedway over the last couple of years, Jaylen Wettengel is going all-in this season. Wettengal is making the three-hour haul from Topeka, Kan., with not only one, but two cars.The fourth-generation racer is leading the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars points standings after a pair of second-place feature finishes. He's also competing in the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod class and sit just outside the top 10."It keeps us pretty busy, especially when (the classes) race back to back," Wettengel said of double duty. "But we've been doing it since 2016, so we're pretty seasoned in how to get through it."I try to do as much work as I can at home with tires and set ups and stuff. That way when we get to the track, it's straightforward, in and out. Fortunately, I have a crew guy Scott (Davis) that travels with me, along with my dad (Shane Wettengel) and girlfriend (Tori Turner). They help out quite a bit."Wettengel looks to get over the hump and find victory lane at Lucas Oil Speedway for the first time on Saturday night during Public Service Appreciation Night at the Races. All Police, Fire and Rescue personnel admitted free with ID. The Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified and special guest class Mod Lites also will be in action in addition to USRA Stock Cars and B-Mods.Motorsports definitely is in Wettengel's blood since birth. The 24-year-old has been racing since the age of five, when he climbed into a quarter-midget and has been driving full-sized cars on dirt since he was 14.Great grandfather Roy Still started racing in 1949 in what Jaylen said was called Modifieds at that time but are known as Sprint cars today. Grandfather Jim Still raced regionally for several years, on dirt and pavement at I-70 Speedway and Lakeside Speedway. Dad Shane Wettengel began racing in 1991."So racing definitely grew on me, growing up around it," said Jaylen Wettengel, who has been doubling up in both Stock Car and B-Mod since 2020."My dad tells me that I might as well do it while I'm young," he said of the demanding schedule. He tries to give the cars equal attention, but said that's often a challenge. The Stock Car is where most of his success has come so far as Wettengel has two feature wins in that class this season at Lakeside Speedway and one at Humboldt."I was able to win first out in the King of America in the Stock Car and that was a good way to start the year," Wettengel said. "Overall, I haven't tore anything up and had some successful finishes, everywhere I've been. This is the best I've ever done at Lucas, with two second-place finishes there. Usually, I'm just cracking the top 10 there is a win in my book."The plan is to race Friday at his "home track" of Lakeside, just west of Kansas City, and commit to Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday nights."It's mostly because of my Stock Car," he said of committing to Lucas. "That is my more successful car. We've been struggling a little bit in the B-Mod. There's not many Saturday places we can race with the Stock Car. Lucas Oil is a stellar facility. Everywhere else is about two hours out from us and Lucas Oil is only three. We usually bite that extra hour just for the quality of the track and the amazing car count there."Not only is there a full field, but there's probably 10-15 cars in each class that are A Feature-winning type of cars."Wettengel said his primary goal is to win a track championship, at either Lakeside or Lucas."The past four years I've been runner-up in points (at Lakeside) and I really want to get a points championship under my belt," he said. "That's probably my biggest goal, at either one, Lucas or Lakeside. A win at Lucas Oil is one of my next top goals. The crowd and competition there is top level. I consider a win in either class - more than likely it would be the Stock Car - but to get one win at Lucas would be our second goal next to a points championship."He's been close in both attempts this season, finishing right behind Derek Brown and William Garner. Wettengel is nine points ahead of Garner and 12 clear of Brown in the early points battle.Wettengel said he hopes to keep growing his confidence with more track time as the season goes on."I'm not one of those driers that's really good right out of the gate at a new track," Wettengel said. "The more and more I drive at Lucas, I can hopefully get a better feel for how to get around the corners and fine-tune the set-up. Most of the issues I had those two nights of not winning was driver error. If I can clean that stuff up, I think I can wind up on top some time this year."Pit gates at the dirt track open at 4 p.m. with spectator grandstands at 5 p.m., hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.Kids Power Wheel Races: Round 3 of Kids' Power Wheel races will be held during intermission Saturday with a 24V-36V class. The races will be held on the front straightaway and the kids' cars can be dropped off at the pit gate and will be brought to the front stretch at intermission.Other Power Wheel races are set for July 27 and Aug. 24.Kids ages 5-12 also can sign up prior to 5 p.m. race day for the RCR Designs Jr. Fan Club for a chance to take part in flagman Mike Striegel's Pit Tour prior to the races, where they can meet drivers and crews.

    DAVENPORT SCORES $50,000 SHOW-ME 100 VICTORY AT LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY

    WHEATLAND, Mo. (May 25, 2024) - In a dominating performance, Jonathan Davenport ran away with the 32nd Annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism on Saturday night at the Lucas Oil Speedway.The race was shortened to 80 laps with impending weather in the area. The race, the first crown jewel event of the season was the second Show-Me 100 victory for the three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion who earned $50,000 of the event record $277,000 purse. The race was co-sanctioned with the Lucas Oil MLRA.Tim McCreadie, who started ninth made a charge on Davenport with about 15 laps to go to keep the possibility of a late-race challenge, but his hopes went away with ten laps to go as Davenport stretched his lead to 5.296 seconds when the checkered flag fell.Daulton Wilson, who started eighth, but fell to 12th early in the race rebounded nicely to round out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Ross Robinson came from 25th to earn the Todd Steel Buildings Hard Charger of the Race coming home in fourth, his best career finish in a crown jewel event. Ricky Thornton Jr. who won on Thursday and Friday could not complete the weekend sweep as he finished in fifth.Davenport in Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 77th time in his career won his first Show-Me 100 since 2015. Davenport is the first driver to win the Show-Me 100, leading every lap of the race since he did it nine years ago."It was the craziest day. We were talking in the trailer that here lately I was making all the wrong tire choices, so I came and looked at the track and they said they wasn't going to do anything with it. It's the wettest I have seen in a long time. I know back here at the MLRA race in April we ran 2's and a 4 all night then last night 3's were better, and it was 40 laps. It turned out to be a good call. I almost done it last year and I wish I would have, but we didn't, and so hindsight is 20/20 so it come back round in 2024," said the Blairsville, Georgia driver who won at Lucas Oil Speedway for the eighth time in the last two years."I talked to Mark [Richards] before the feature and that's what Timmy had on too. It was good for both of us. I wanted to win this for my team so bad, but kind of in the bottom of my heart I was pulling for Timmy once he got to second. He's had a rough week for sure. You know how things work out I figured I was going to push or jump the cushion and he was going to pass me, but as long as I ran second to him, I would have been alright with that."For McCreadie, who took over the driving duties of the Rocket1 in March had his best finish for the Mark Richards Racing entry coming home in the runner-up spot to earn $20,000."I got a little free, so you're better earlier than you want to be because you're not carrying enough speed into turn one. If I was smarter, I should have even backed my corner up and throttled harder. I think I did like five laps in a row and then I couldn't see JD anymore. For me and the team it's been a climb as every night we have some success, but we haven't been able to put a full night together. A little bit of moisture in the track helped."Wilson, who won the last East Bay Winternationals in February made a nice comeback after falling out of the top ten early in the race as he charged to third at the end getting by both Robinson and Thornton in the closing laps."We were definitely had on a different tire than anybody up here now [on the podium]. We finally got going there and got clear, there was a gaggle of cars there, and I came back up thru there."The winner's Lance and Darla Landers, Double L Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, Dyna Gro Seed, Lucas Oil Products, Bilstein Shocks, ASC Warranty, Mark Martin Automotive, Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas, and VP Fuels.Completing the top ten were Garrett Alberson, Hudson O'Neal, Gordy Gundaker, Jimmy Owens, and Max Blair."SHOW ME 100" Top 3: Left-Tim McCreadie 2nd, Middle-Jonathan Davenport 1st, Right Daulton Wilson 3rd.

    Davenport dominates to win 32nd annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism

    WHEATLAND, MO. (May 25, 2024) - Living up to his nickname of "Superman," Jonathan Davenport put on another dominating performance at Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday night.Davenport led every lap, with only a parade of caution flags slowing him down in rolling to a $50,000 victory in the 32nd annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism. The Blairsville, Ga., driver took the checkers 5.92 seconds in front of runner-up Tim McCreadie.It was Davenport's eighth feature victory at Lucas Oil Speedway since the spring of 2023 and his second Show-Me 100 triumph. He also won the crown jewel race in 2015, leading all 100 laps. This time, he only had to lead 80 as series officials made the call prior to the feature to shorten the race due to approaching rain and challenging track conditions."I've just got to thank my guys," Davenport said after his crew went to work on the primary car after Davenport had to go to a backup for Thursday night's first preliminary feature. He rallied from the back of the field to 10th and on Friday night, finished third in the main car still wasn't quite up to snuff."We really got behind two days," Davenport added. "We had electrical issues the first night and never could figure them out. Then last night in the feature, we go the front end knocked off on the first lap. I knew I didn't feel good, but didn't know why until we got back to the pits and started assessing the damage. We had to change basically everything in the front end."This car was really good from the start. I couldn't believe believe (front row starter Garrett Alberson) would spin a little bit and I could drive right by him on the start. I just tried to manage my tires and not tear them up too bad."Five cars tangled in turn one as the green flew to start the event, causing a complete restart. That was telling of what was to come, with nine cautions in all to occur. Every time Davenport would build up a nice-sized lead, he had to do it all over again.The fourth-starting Davenport, in his Lance Landers Motorsports Longhorn chassis, made a big move on the race's restart by splitting front-row starters Alberson and Ricky Thornton Jr. He grabbed the lead on the opening lap and soon had a 3.4-second gap over Thornton by lap three.Davenport, 40, said he used a softer right-rear tires than most of his competitors and that was a key to getting ultimate handling on a track that was wetter than during the first two nights."During that first run, I was going pretty hard," Davenport said. "I figured we might have a long green-flag run and I might be able to put half the field a lap down and we wouldn't have to worry about half of them."A lap-10 caution as Logan Martin slowed to enter the pits wiped out Davenport's sizeable lead, but he quickly sprinted out to 3.3-second command in just five laps as action resumed.Again catching lapped traffic, Davenport's lead grew to five seconds by lap 20. Two laps later, Davenport narrowly missed a spinning Brennon Willard in turn three as the third caution flew and erased his 4.3-second cushion over Thornton with Chris Simpson in third.Simpson moved into second on the restart and gave chase to Davenport. But again, the leader stretched his lead to more than two seconds when Chad Simpson slowed on the track to bring out a lap-27 caution.Thornton regained second as action resumed and started to close in on the leader, cutting Davenport's lead to 1.6 seconds by lap 34 - but that's when the fifth caution appeared for a slowing Clay Harris. Just two laps went into the books before yellow No. 6 came out.With lightning flashing in the distance and seven cautions already, the race finally reached the halfway mark with Davenport lead Thornton by 1.3 seconds. Tim McCreadie had worked his way into third with Chris Simpson fourth.McCreadie, also on a softer tire, passed Thornton for second on lap 47 with Davenport maintaining a 1.2-second lead. The gap was 1.7 when action slowed again for caution No. 8 as Aaron Marrant slowed on lap 53.During that stoppage, officials allowed the drivers to switch helmets for better vision. Davenport and McCreadie broke away on the restart with 25th-starting Ross Robinson advancing past Thornton and into third.McCreadie pulled right behind Davenport on lap 60, but Davenport seemed to find a new burst of speed and opened the lead back up to 10 car lengths before again entering lapped traffic.Chris Simpson, running 10th, brought out caution No. 9 on lap 62 when he slowed in turn four. Davenport and McCreadie sprinted away again after the restart, with Davenport in front by 1.5 seconds at lap 70, leaving him 10 laps to navigate.Davenport diced through slower traffic to extend his lead to four seconds with five to go. He took it home from there, winning by a full straightaway over McCreadie, of Watertown, N.Y. It was his third Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of the season.Eighth-starting Daulton Wilson finished third and Robinson fourth. Thornton, who won both preliminary nights, was fifth in a race that took one hour, one minute to cover the 80 laps. Rain began to fall shortly after the checkered flag.Davenport said he would have been good if McCreadie, 50, had pulled off the victory. Tim McCreadie's dad, Modified racing legend "Barefoot" Bob McCreadie passed away earlier this month."I wanted to win this for my team so bad, but in the bottom of my heard I was pulling for Timmy, too," Davenport said. "He's had a rough week for sure. You know how things work out. I figured I was going to push or jump the cushion and he was gonna pass me. As long as I ran second to him, I'd have been all right."McCreadie, with just his second top-five in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series season, said the tire choice was key and took away positive vibes from the competitive run."For our race team, Rocket One, it's been a climb," McCreadie said. "Every night we have some success but we haven't been able to put a full night together. A little bit of moisture in the track and I have to thank (team owners) Mark Richards and Steve Baker and everybody who works on these Rockets."Davenport said the softer tire was a bit of a gamble he and the team decided to go with before race time."Here lately I've been making all the wrong tire choices," Davenport said. "This is the wettest I've seen (the track) in a long time. I remember back when we were here for the (Lucas Oil) MLRA race, we ran 2s and 4s. Last night, the 3s were better and it was 40 laps. The track hadn't changed and a lot of laps had been on it."We just threw caution to the wind. I almost done it last year and I wish I had, but we didn't. Hindsight it 20-20 and it came back around in 2024. That was pretty cool."Wilson, of Fayetteville, N.C., was pleased with his third-place finish considering his past struggles at Lucas Oil Speedway."My guys have busted their butts all week. This place has kicked my butt the last couple of years," Wilson said. "Hats off to all my guys. This car is really good."Martin, of West Plains, won the Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge and forfeited the $2,500 prize to start at the rear of the 33-car Show-Me 100 lineup. He had climbed to 16th by lap 10 when he had mechanical issues and had to pull off and credited with 32nd place.The Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model feature was rained out. Justin Wells of Aurora had won the first two nights and is 5-for-5 in the weekly division. Wells also earned his way into the Show-Me 100 with a second in his B-Main, but was the first car out of the main event.LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY UNOFFICIAL RESULTS (May 25, 2024)32nd annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of TourismLucas Oil Late ModelsShow-Me 100 Feature - 1. 49-Jonathan Davenport[4]; 2. 1-Tim McCreadie[9]; 3. 18D-Daulton Wilson[8]; 4. 7-Ross Robinson[25]; 5. 20RT-Ricky Thornton Jr[1]; 6. 58-Garrett Alberson[2]; 7. 71-Hudson O'Neal[17]; 8. 11G-Gordy Gundaker[10]; 9. 20-Jimmy Owens[14]; 10. 111-Max Blair[5]; 11. 11T-Trevor Gundaker[18]; 12. 93F-Carson Ferguson[13]; 13. 6-Clay Harris[24]; 14. 25C-Chad Simpson[12]; 15. 32X-Chris Simpson[6]; 16. 8-Dillon McCowan[20]; 17. 3-Brennon Willard[32]; 18. 10-Garrett Smith[16]; 19. 1X-Aaron Marrant[31]; 20. 46-Earl Pearson Jr[21]; 21. 11-Jeff Herzog[30]; 22. 93-Cory Lawler[28]; 23. 157-Mike Marlar[15]; 24. 99-Devin Moran[3]; 25. 90-Brian Rickman[11]; 26. 96-Tanner English[23]; 27. 17SS-Brenden Smith[27]; 28. 25-Tony Jackson Jr[29]; 29. 21XXX-Neil Baggett[19]; 30. 7T-Drake Troutman[26]; 31. 19M-Spencer Hughes[7]; 32. 36-Logan Martin[33]; 33. 49W-Justin Wells[22]Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge - 1. 36-Logan Martin[2]; 2. 2-Tyler Stevens[6]; 3. 1X-Aaron Marrant[9]; 4. 22H-Dustin Hodges[11]; 5. 74X-Ethan Dotson[4]; 6. 15C-Clayton Stuckey[7]; 7. 78S-Steve Stultz[16]; 8. 15-Payton Looney[3]; 9. 93O-Mason Oberkramer[17]; 10. 1/4J-Jaxon Ertel[5]; 11. 1S-Jeremy Shaw[1]; 12. 21-Billy Moyer Sr[15]; 13. 7W-Cole Wells[13]; 14. 3-Brennon Willard[12]; 15. 77-Jeremy Petty[18]; 16.

    Davenport Dominates for Second Career Show-Me 100 at Lucas Oil Speedway

    WHEATLAND, Mo. (May 25, 2024) - In a dominating performance, Jonathan Davenport ran away with the 32nd Annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism on Saturday night at the Lucas Oil Speedway.The race was shortened to 80 laps with impending weather in the area. The race, the first crown jewel event of the season was the second Show-Me 100 victory for the three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion who earned $50,000 of the event record $277,000 purse. The race was co-sanctioned with the Lucas Oil MLRA.Tim McCreadie, who started ninth made a charge on Davenport with about 15 laps to go to keep the possibility of a late-race challenge, but his hopes went away with ten laps to go as Davenport stretched his lead to 5.296 seconds when the checkered flag fell.Daulton Wilson, who started eighth, but fell to 12th early in the race rebounded nicely to round out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Ross Robinson came from 25th to earn the Todd Steel Buildings Hard Charger of the Race coming home in fourth, his best career finish in a crown jewel event. Ricky Thornton Jr. who won on Thursday and Friday could not complete the weekend sweep as he finished in fifth.Davenport in Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 77th time in his career won his first Show-Me 100 since 2015. Davenport is the first driver to win the Show-Me 100, leading every lap of the race since he did it nine years ago."It was the craziest day. We were talking in the trailer that here lately I was making all the wrong tire choices, so I came and looked at the track and they said they wasn't going to do anything with it. It's the wettest I have seen in a long time. I know back here at the MLRA race in April we ran 2's and a 4 all night then last night 3's were better, and it was 40 laps. It turned out to be a good call. I almost done it last year and I wish I would have, but we didn't, and so hindsight is 20/20 so it come back round in 2024," said the Blairsville, Georgia driver who won at Lucas Oil Speedway for the eighth time in the last two years."I talked to Mark [Richards] before the feature and that's what Timmy had on too. It was good for both of us. I wanted to win this for my team so bad, but kind of in the bottom of my heart I was pulling for Timmy once he got to second. He's had a rough week for sure. You know how things work out I figured I was going to push or jump the cushion and he was going to pass me, but as long as I ran second to him, I would have been alright with that."For McCreadie, who took over the driving duties of the Rocket1 in March had his best finish for the Mark Richards Racing entry coming home in the runner-up spot to earn $20,000."I got a little free, so you're better earlier than you want to be because you're not carrying enough speed into turn one. If I was smarter, I should have even backed my corner up and throttled harder. I think I did like five laps in a row and then I couldn't see JD anymore. For me and the team it's been a climb as every night we have some success, but we haven't been able to put a full night together. A little bit of moisture in the track helped."Wilson, who won the last East Bay Winternationals in February made a nice comeback after falling out of the top ten early in the race as he charged to third at the end getting by both Robinson and Thornton in the closing laps."We were definitely had on a different tire than anybody up here now [on the podium]. We finally got going there and got clear, there was a gaggle of cars there, and I came back up thru there." The winner's Lance and Darla Landers, Double L Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, Dyna Gro Seed, Lucas Oil Products, Bilstein Shocks, ASC Warranty, Mark Martin Automotive, Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas, and VP Fuels.Completing the top ten were Garrett Alberson, Hudson O'Neal, Gordy Gundaker, Jimmy Owens, and Max Blair.Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Race Summary 32nd Annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by the Missouri Division of TourismSaturday, May 25, 2024Lucas Oil Speedway - Wheatland, MOFast Shafts B-Main Race #1 Finish (12 Laps, Top 2 Transfer): 1. 21XXX-Neil Baggett[1]; 2. 49W-Justin Wells[2]; 3. 25-Tony Jackson Jr[4]; 4. 15-Payton Looney[6]; 5. 2-Tyler Stevens[7]; 6. 1X-Aaron Marrant[5]; 7. 3-Brennon Willard[8]; 8. 21-Billy Moyer Sr[9]; 9. 77-Jeremy Petty[15]; 10. 0X-Jason Sivils[10]; 11. 93-Cory Lawler[13]; 12. 7-Ross Robinson[3]; 13.

  • LOLMDS - Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Dirt Track Racing Organization (60)

    WHEATLAND, Mo. (May 24, 2024) - Ricky Thornton Jr. made a daring three-wide pass for the lead on the opening lap from his fourth starting position and went on to lead the rest of the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson on Friday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. The event was co-sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Lucas Oil MLRA.Thornton, who won Thursday night's Cowboy Classic earned $10,000 for his eighth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of 2024. Devin Moran finished in second as Jonathan Davenport edged out Max Blair at the line to round out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Blair was fourth and four-time Show-Me 100 winner, Jimmy Owens completed the top five drivers.On the first lap of the race Thornton split Davenport and pole-sitter Garrett Alberson for the race lead coming off turn number two. Thornton and Davenport later made heavy contact on the front stretch as the duo completed the first lap.Thornton then pulled ahead of Davenport as the pair ran nose to tail for 11 more laps until Moran drove to second by Davenport on lap 13 which was three laps after the only caution of the race. Moran tried valiantly to chase down Thornton even in heavy traffic, but Thornton on several occasions was able to clear traffic to keep distance between himself and Moran.Moran had cut into Thornton's advantage several times, but with no cautions for the last 30 laps of the race Moran could not muster enough momentum in the closing laps to overtake Thornton.In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 36th time in his career, Thornton battled lapped traffic for most of the last half of the 40-lap race as he bought his battle-worn car to his victory lane interview."That was definitely all my fault," said Thornton of the contact between himself and Davenport on the opening lap. "I thought I cleared him in three then I hit the slime off of four. I thought I left him enough room, but clearly I didn't. So, I was glad it didn't wreck both of us, like I said it was 100% my fault. I didn't plan on sliding him like that. This car was really good. I don't know, we went with a little bit different tire than those other guys again and I think it paid off for us."Moran, who ran third in Thursday night's race improved one more spot to take the runner-up spot .618 seconds behind the winner in Friday's race. "Yeah, we just can't catch this dude [Thornton]. I mean they do a great job and have for the last couple of years. So, congrats to them. We are one step in the right direction. I feel like this is the type of track we will see tomorrow night for the 100-lapper. Hats off to the track crew. They were prepping for a down pour, and it never did, and they brought this thing back to life."Davenport, who had gone to Victory Lane at Lucas Oil Speedway seven times in the last couple of years barely beat Blair to the finish line to take the third spot."It was just the first lap," said Davenport when asked of his first lap contact with Thornton. "I thought he was going to give me room and I guess he just misjudged it or whatever. I was as far as I could get. I hit the outside wall and him at the same time. It basically knocked the wheel out of my hands. I am just thankful to be up here in the top three. I was trying really hard to get back by Blair there and I thought I had him one other time, but then I missed the corner down there."The winner's Todd and Vickie Burns, SSI Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engines is sponsored Big River Steel, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms, Dyno One, Inc., West Side Tractor Sales Company, Bilstein Shocks, Sunoco Race Fuels, EMD Wraps, and Murty Farms.Completing the top ten were Garrett Alberson, Carson Ferguson, Tim McCreadie, Mike Marlar, and Spencer Hughes."Tribute To Don & Billie Gibson" Top 3: Left-Devin Moran 2nd, Middle-Ricky Thornton Jr. 1st, Right Jonathan Davenport 3rd.

    Ricky Thornton Jr. Goes Back-to-Back at Lucas Oil Speedway

    WHEATLAND, Mo. (May 24, 2024) - Ricky Thornton Jr. made a daring three-wide pass for the lead on the opening lap from his fourth starting position and went on to lead the rest of the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson on Friday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. The event was co-sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Lucas Oil MLRA.Thornton, who won Thursday night's Cowboy Classic earned $10,000 for his eighth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of 2024. Devin Moran finished in second as Jonathan Davenport edged out Max Blair at the line to round out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Blair was fourth and four-time Show-Me 100 winner, Jimmy Owens completed the top five drivers.On the first lap of the race Thornton split Davenport and pole-sitter Garrett Alberson for the race lead coming off turn number two. Thornton and Davenport later made heavy contact on the front stretch as the duo completed the first lap. Thornton then pulled ahead of Davenport as the pair ran nose to tail for 11 more laps until Moran drove to second by Davenport on lap 13 which was three laps after the only caution of the race. Moran tried valiantly to chase down Thornton even in heavy traffic, but Thornton on several occasions was able to clear traffic to keep distance between himself and Moran.Moran had cut into Thornton's advantage several times, but with no cautions for the last 30 laps of the race Moran could not muster enough momentum in the closing laps to overtake Thornton.In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 36th time in his career, Thornton battled lapped traffic for most of the last half of the 40-lap race as he bought his battle-worn car to his victory lane interview."That was definitely all my fault," said Thornton of the contact between himself and Davenport on the opening lap. "I thought I cleared him in three then I hit the slime off of four. I thought I left him enough room, but clearly I didn't. So, I was glad it didn't wreck both of us, like I said it was 100% my fault. I didn't plan on sliding him like that. This car was really good. I don't know, we went with a little bit different tire than those other guys again and I think it paid off for us."Moran, who ran third in Thursday night's race improved one more spot to take the runner-up spot .618 seconds behind the winner in Friday's race. "Yeah, we just can't catch this dude [Thornton]. I mean they do a great job and have for the last couple of years. So, congrats to them. We are one step in the right direction. I feel like this is the type of track we will see tomorrow night for the 100-lapper. Hats off to the track crew. They were prepping for a down pour, and it never did, and they brought this thing back to life."Davenport, who had gone to Victory Lane at Lucas Oil Speedway seven times in the last couple of years barely beat Blair to the finish line to take the third spot."It was just the first lap," said Davenport when asked of his first lap contact with Thornton. "I thought he was going to give me room and I guess he just misjudged it or whatever. I was as far as I could get. I hit the outside wall and him at the same time. It basically knocked the wheel out of my hands. I am just thankful to be up here in the top three. I was trying really hard to get back by Blair there and I thought I had him one other time, but then I missed the corner down there." The winner's Todd and Vickie Burns, SSI Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engines is sponsored Big River Steel, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms, Dyno One, Inc., West Side Tractor Sales Company, Bilstein Shocks, Sunoco Race Fuels, EMD Wraps, and Murty Farms.Completing the top ten were Garrett Alberson, Carson Ferguson, Tim McCreadie, Mike Marlar, and Spencer Hughes.Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Race Summary The Tribute to Don & Billie GibsonFriday, May 24, 2024Lucas Oil Speedway - Wheatland, MOAllstar Performance Time TrialsFast Time Group A: Garrett Alberson | 14.872 seconds (overall)Fast Time Group B: Jonathan Davenport | 14.864 secondsPenske Shocks Heat Race #1 Finish (8 Laps, Top 3 Transfer): 1. 58-Garrett Alberson[1]; 2. 20-Jimmy Owens[4]; 3. 6-Clay Harris[2]; 4. 11T-Trevor Gundaker[3]; 5. 17SS-Brenden Smith[5]; 6. 1X-Aaron Marrant[7]; 7. 82-Jace Parmley[10]; 8. 12-Scott Crigler[6]; 9. 10M-Jacob Magee[9]; 10. 3-Brennon Willard[8]Summit Racing Products Heat Race #2 Finish (8 Laps, Top 3 Transfer): 1. 99-Devin Moran[2]; 2. 10-Garrett Smith[1]; 3. 15-Payton Looney[6]; 4. 11G-Gordy Gundaker[3]; 5. 21-Billy Moyer Sr[5]; 6. 78S-Steve Stultz[4]; 7. 65-Jon Binning[9]; 8. 93-Cory Lawler[7]; 9. 7W-Cole Wells[8]; 10. 26P-Glen Powell[10]Earnhardt Technologies Heat Race #3 Finish (8 Laps, Top 3 Transfer): 1. 32X-Chris Simpson[1]; 2. 7-Ross Robinson[4]; 3. 90-Brian Rickman[2]; 4. 157-Mike Marlar[5]; 5. 8-Dillon McCowan[6]; 6. 7D-Dusty Leonard[3]; 7. 46-Earl Pearson Jr[8]; 8. 777-Jared Landers[10]; 9.

    Thornton repeats on Night 2, taking Gibson Tribute at Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism

    WHEATLAND, MO. (May 24, 2024) - Ricky Thornton Jr. continued his dominance at the 32nd annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism, winning Friday night's Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson.Thornton led all 40 laps on the heels of his Thursday night triumph in the Cowboy Classic at Lucas Oil Speedway. Both wins were worth $10,000 and just as important, the Martinsville, Ind., driver is assured the pole for Saturday night's $50,000-to-win 100-lap finale."It worked out for us and I have to thank my boys; they busted their butts," Thornton said after his eighth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of the season and 31st of his career. He beat runner-up and reigning Show-Me 100 champ Devin Moran by about four car lengths.The race honored Don and Billie Gibson, who created the Show-Me 100 in 1993 as owners of West Plains Motor Speedway.A total of 59 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series/MLRA Late Models checked into the pits while 19 Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models were on hand.Thornton set himself up for a chance to go for the weekend sweep - and win his first Show-Me 100 - with another outstanding performance. He crossed the finish line first in last year's Show-Me 100, but was disqualified in post-race inspection for a deck height infraction on his car.The key moment of Gibson Tribute might have been on lap one when the fourth-starting Thornton split front-row starters Jonathan Davenport and Garrett Alberson in turns one and two."I didn't expect it," Thornton said of the bold move. "We got a good start and I was able to get next to Garrett down the front straightaway. I really didn't think I was going to get a good enough run to get it next to 'JD' but it took off a lot better than I was anticipating."Thornton grabbed the lead when he and Davenport crossed the start-finish line side-by-side and traded bumps the first coming from Thornton on the inside. Thornton's lead was .011 of a second at the line and Davenport bounced off the wall and back into Thornton, who took the blame for the contact."That was definitely all my fault. I thought I cleared him in (turn) three," Thornton said. "I hit the slime off four and I thought I left him enough room, but clearly I didn't, so I'm just glad it didn't wreck both of us. It was 100 percent my fault."This thing was really good. We went with a little bit different tire than those other guys again and I think it paid off for us."Davenport said the early action was awfully aggressive for the start of a 40-lapper."It was just the first lap. I thought he was gonna give me room," Davenport said. "I guess he just misjudged or whatever. I was as far as I could get up. I hit the outside wall and him at the same time. It knocked the wheel out of my hands, which is the reason I run down the racetrack on him."Any way, (stuff) happens, I guess. Just thankful to be up here in the top three. I was trying hard to get back by (Max) Blair. With the run we had last night, coming from the back, we needed all the points we could get to get a good starting spot for tomorrow."Thornton held a .761-second lead when the race's first caution flew on lap-10 for debris from Dillon McCowan's car. Thornton was able to quickly open up a three-quarter second lead after the restart as Davenport, Blair and Moran tussled for second.At the halfway point, Thornton led Moran by just under a second with Blair and Davenport giving chase as the leaders caught lapped traffic. That worked in Thornton's favor was his lead grew to 1.5 seconds by lap 27.But Moran, hugging the low groove, began to cut into the margin and was within two car lengths by lap 31. Thornton kicked it back into fast mode and built some breathing room by lap 35 as the long green-flag run continued.Thornton had to battle his way through more heavy traffic on the final laps, but held off Moran by .618 seconds. Moran finished third on Thursday."We just can't catch this dude," Moran said. "They do a great job and they've done a great job for the last couple of years. Congrats to them, but we're one step in the right direction."Thornton said in the late stages, he could see how big a gap he had on Moran by checking out the video board overlooking turn three."Without that, I probably would have drove a little harder through traffic," Thornton said. "But I felt like I had a decent gap. On the last lap, I saw him go to the top in (turns) one and two. If he was on me going into three, I was going to have to really drive into three hard, but it worked out for us."Davenport passed Blair on the final circuit to grab third. Jimmy Owens, a four-time Show-Me 100 champ, wound up fifth."Call a friend and bring 'em tomorrow, it's gonna be one hell of a show," Davenport said.Davenport had the fast qualifying lap, circling the oval at 14.864 seconds in Group B. Alberson, the fast qualifier on Night One, paced Group A at 14.872.Wells wins 5th POWRi Late Models feature: Score another Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model victory for Justin Wells. The Aurora driver made it 5-for-5 this season in the division at Lucas Oil Speedway, beating Andy Bryant in the feature.Wells beat fellow front-row starter Bryant to turn one as the green flew and already had a 2.3-second lead two laps into the action, when a caution appeared. Tyler Kuykendall moved around Bryant on the restart for second as Wells quickly pulled away.His margin again was short-lived as a second caution slowed the action on lap five. After two more cautions before the midpoint of the 20-lapper, Wells broke away to lead Bryant by 3.7 seconds by lap 12.It was all Wells from there as, despite one more yellow on lap 14, the veteran beat Bryant by 3.8 seconds. Tucker Cox finished third with Kuykendall fourth and Shayne Bailey fifth.Wells won his 110th feature in his 2006 TNT Late Model chassis. He also qualified for the Gibson Tribute in his open Late Model car and finished 18th.LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY UNOFFICIAL RESULTS (May 24, 2024)32nd annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of TourismLucas Oil Late ModelsTribute to Don and Billie Gibson - 1. 20RT-Ricky Thornton Jr[4]; 2. 99-Devin Moran[3]; 3. 49-Jonathan Davenport[2]; 4. 111-Max Blair[8]; 5. 20-Jimmy Owens[7]; 6. 58-Garrett Alberson[1]; 7. 93F-Carson Ferguson[10]; 8. 1-Tim McCreadie[6]; 9. 157-Mike Marlar[20]; 10. 19M-Spencer Hughes[12]; 11. 32X-Chris Simpson[5]; 12. 18D-Daulton Wilson[16]; 13. 7-Ross Robinson[11]; 14. 71-Hudson O'Neal[18]; 15. 11G-Gordy Gundaker[19]; 16. 25C-Chad Simpson[21]; 17. 6-Clay Harris[13]; 18. 49W-Justin Wells[14]; 19. 90-Brian Rickman[17]; 20. 1X-Aaron Marrant[22]; 21. 15-Payton Looney[15]; 22. 10-Garrett Smith[9]; 23. 7T-Drake Troutman[24]; 24. 8-Dillon McCowan[23]Fast Shafts B Main 1 - 1. 11G-Gordy Gundaker[2]; 2. 1X-Aaron Marrant[5]; 3. 17SS-Brenden Smith[3]; 4. 11T-Trevor Gundaker[1]; 5. 21-Billy Moyer Sr[4]; 6. 78S-Steve Stultz[6]; 7. 12-Scott Crigler[9]; 8. 7W-Cole Wells[12]; 9. 3-Brennon Willard[13]; 10. 65-Jon Binning[8]; 11. 82-Jace Parmley[7]; 12. 26P-Glen Powell[14]; 13. 93-Cory Lawler[10]; 14.

    RICKY THORNTON JR. TAKES LEAD LATE TO WIN "COWBOY CLASSIC"

    WHEATLAND, Mo. (May 23, 2024) - Ricky Thornton Jr. took full advantage of a late race caution, passing race leader Garrett Alberson with two laps to go to win the 11th Annual Cowboy Classic on Thursday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. The race was co-sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Lucas Oil MLRA.Alberson was in control of the 45-lap $10,000 to win event until the only caution of the race came out for second place running Chad Simpson with three laps to go. On the restart Thornton, who was running second, passed Alberson for the lead heading into turn three as the duo headed to the white flag. Thornton went on to earn his seventh Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season.Alberson had his best career finish with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, coming home in second with Devin Moran rounding out the Big River Steel Podium in third after having one of the fastest cars on the track at the finish. Chris Simpson, who led the first seven laps of the race was fourth with Spencer Hughes completing the top five drivers.In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for 35th time in his career, Thornton was also celebrating his 400th overall career victory. "I knew I was the only one on a softer right rear. I didn't know if we were going to get any yellows or not. Really, he [Alberson] fired off better than I did. He missed the bottom those two laps in a row, and whenever he slid high on the backstraightaway I knew he would be in the slick and I tried to get far enough by him so he knew where I was going to be down there getting into three. I am sure he was watching the board there a little bit. We touched a little bit getting into three. It feels pretty special this is my 400th career win. It's been a lot of hard work and dedication to get to this point of my career."Alberson appeared to be on his way to his first career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory, but Thornton would take the point after the caution with three laps to go and lead the final two circuits to deny Alberson the win."To be bummed out with a second-place finish is a good thing. I am super proud of this Roberts Motorsports team; they have been working so hard. We've had a really good race car; this is actually our best finish. I kind of needed more speed and momentum and I was a little too tight on the bottom. I didn't know what to do on that restart. Congrats to Ricky, he did the right things right there when he needed to. This car is really good. I think the long race is gonna fit it better."Moran, who won last year's Show-Me 100 made a late-race charge on the top to take home third. "I don't know if we will get this exact track again the next two nights. So, we will just see. We learned some stuff on this Double Down Motorsports car. So, we will take that into tomorrow and Saturday and see what happens."The winner's Todd and Vickie Burns, SSI Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms, Dyno One Inc., West Side Tractor sales, Bilstein Shocks, Sunoco Race Fuels, EMD Wraps, and Murty Farms.Completing the top ten were Daulton Wilson, Brian Rickman, Max Blair, Jonathan Davenport, and Gordy Gundaker.Cowboy Classic Top 3: Left-Garrett Alberson 2nd, Middle-Ricky Thornton Jr. 1st, Right Devin Moran 3rd.

    Thornton Denies Alberson in Cowboy Classic at Lucas Oil Speedway

    WHEATLAND, Mo. (May 23, 2024) - Ricky Thornton Jr. took full advantage of a late race caution, passing race leader Garrett Alberson with two laps to go to win the 11th Annual Cowboy Classic on Thursday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. The race was co-sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Lucas Oil MLRA.Alberson was in control of the 45-lap $10,000 to win event until the only caution of the race came out for second place running Chad Simpson with three laps to go. On the restart Thornton, who was running second, passed Alberson for the lead heading into turn three as the duo headed to the white flag. Thornton went on to earn his seventh Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season.Alberson had his best career finish with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, coming home in second with Devin Moran rounding out the Big River Steel Podium in third after having one of the fastest cars on the track at the finish. Chris Simpson, who led the first seven laps of the race was fourth with Spencer Hughes completing the top five drivers.In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for 35th time in his career, Thornton was also celebrating his 400th overall career victory."I knew I was the only one on a softer right rear. I didn't know if we were going to get any yellows or not. Really, he [Alberson] fired off better than I did. He missed the bottom those two laps in a row, and whenever he slid high on the backstraightaway I knew he would be in the slick and I tried to get far enough by him so he knew where I was going to be down there getting into three. I am sure he was watching the board there a little bit. We touched a little bit getting into three. It feels pretty special this is my 400th career win. It's been a lot of hard work and dedication to get to this point of my career."Alberson appeared to be on his way to his first career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory, but Thornton would take the point after the caution with three laps to go and lead the final two circuits to deny Alberson the win."To be bummed out with a second-place finish is a good thing. I am super proud of this Roberts Motorsports team; they have been working so hard. We've had a really good race car; this is actually our best finish. I kind of needed more speed and momentum and I was a little too tight on the bottom. I didn't know what to do on that restart. Congrats to Ricky, he did the right things right there when he needed to. This car is really good. I think the long race is gonna fit it better."Moran, who won last year's Show-Me 100 made a late-race charge on the top to take home third. "I don't know if we will get this exact track again the next two nights. So, we will just see. We learned some stuff on this Double Down Motorsports car. So, we will take that into tomorrow and Saturday and see what happens."The winner's Todd and Vickie Burns, SSI Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms, Dyno One Inc., West Side Tractor sales, Bilstein Shocks, Sunoco Race Fuels, EMD Wraps, and Murty Farms.Completing the top ten were Daulton Wilson, Brian Rickman, Max Blair, Jonathan Davenport, and Gordy Gundaker.Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Race Summary 11th Annual Cowboy ClassicThursday, May 23, 2024Lucas Oil Speedway - Wheatland, MOAllstar Performance Time TrialsFast Time Group A: Garrett Alberson| 14.443 seconds (overall)Fast Time Group B: Chris Simpson | 14.803 secondsPenske Shocks Heat Race #1 Finish (8 Laps, Top 3 Transfer): 1. 58-Garrett Alberson[1]; 2. 20RT-Ricky Thornton Jr[2]; 3. 99-Devin Moran[4]; 4. 15C-Clayton Stuckey[6]; 5. 11T-Trevor Gundaker[7]; 6. 8-Dillon McCowan[8]; 7. 93-Cory Lawler[5]; 8. 11-Jeff Herzog[9]; 9. 7-Ross Robinson[10]; 10. 21W-Chris Wilhite Jr[11]; 11. 93F-Carson Ferguson[3]Summit Racing Products Heat Race #2 Finish (8 Laps, Top 3 Transfer): 1. 49-Jonathan Davenport[1]; 2. 36-Logan Martin[2]; 3. 90-Brian Rickman[3]; 4. 74X-Ethan Dotson[4]; 5. 777-Jared Landers[5]; 6. 1S-Jeremy Shaw[6]; 7. 6-Clay Harris[7]; 8. 78S-Steve Stultz[8]; 9. 14R-Jeff Roth[9]; 10. 26P-Glen Powell[10]; 11.

    Last pass lifts Thornton to Cowboy Classic win as 32nd annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism begins

    WHEATLAND, MO. (May 23, 2024) - Ricky Thornton Jr. pounced after a late-race restart Thursday night to overtake Garrett Alberson, kicking off the 32nd annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism weekend.Alberson took the lead on lap eight and held it until lap 43. A lap-42 caution in what had been a caution-free event, wiped out his sizeable cushion and Thornton made the winning pass diving into turn three with one to go in the 45-lapper at Lucas Oil Speedway.It was the 400th career win for the 33-year-old Thornton, of Martinsville, Ind. He earned $10,000 and valuable points toward a starting position in Saturday night's 100-lap feature. The opening-night headliner paid tribute to Allen "Cowboy" Chancellor, long-time owner/promoter of the Midwest Late Model Racing Association.The Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models also were in action, with Justin Wells earning the feature win in that weekly class for the speedway, in wire-to-wire fashion.A total of 63 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series/MLRA Late Models checked into the pits for opening night while 21 Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models were on hand.Alberson, who set a new track record in qualifying and earned the pole with a heat-race win, roared away from the start in a race that nearly went green-white-checkers. But a race-changing caution flew on lap 42 when Chad Simpson, running third, spun in turn two.That was all Thornton needed as he made the winning pass going into turn three with the white flag about to wave. He went on to grab his series-best seventh Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of 2024 in his SSI Motorsports Longhorn Chassis."I knew I was the only one on a soft right rear (tire) and I didn't know if we were going to get any yellows or not," Thornton said. "Really, he fired off way better than I did. I don't know, he missed the bottom on those two laps in a row and whenever he slid high down the back straightaway, I knew he was going to be in the slick."I just tried to get it far enough up where he knew I was gonna be down there. We touched a little bit getting into three, but it's awesome. This one is pretty special because it's my 400th win. It's been a lot of hard work and dedication."Alberson, of Las Cruces, N.M., said he felt vulnerable on the restart and managed to smile despite coming so close to his first LOLMDS win."To be bummed out with a second is a really good thing," Alberson said. "I'm super proud of this Roberts Motorsports team. We've got a really good racecar. I was a little too tight to run the bottom and on that restart I was kind of a sitting duck."Congrats to Ricky. They did the right things right there when they needed to. But this car is really good and I think a longer race is going to fit it better. Yeah, we're right there."For Thornton, it was a positive start in his pursuit of a Show-Me 100 title that got away from him a year ago when he was disqualified in post-race technical inspection after crossing the finish line first."It's huge," Thornton said of the win. "Any time you can come here and have a good run, it shows how good your team and everybody is. I feel like the slicker this (track) gets the better our car keeps getting."Defending Show-Me 100 champ Devin Moran wound up third with Chris Simpson fourth and Spencer Hughes fifth. The Show-Me 100 is co-sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA.Alberson took over the race lead on lap eight from pole-starting Chad Simpson after Simpson led in the early going. Thornton moved around Simpson with five laps to go, just a couple of circuits prior to Simpson's spin and ensuing caution.One of the biggest movers of the race was Jonathan Davenport, a seven-time winner at Lucas Oil Speedway over the last two seasons. Davenport had to start at the tail of the 24-car field after going to a backup car after his heat-race race win and he was able to rally for ninth.Alberson set a new Late Models track record with a lap of 14.443 to pace Group A qualifying. Alberson, of Las Cruces, N.M., broke his own record of 14.456 which he established on Oct. 9, 2020 at the Lucas Oil MLRA Fall Nationals. Chris Simpson of Oxford, Iowa, led Group B at 14.803.A similar program is set for Friday night with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series/MLRA Late Models again racing a full program to earn points toward Saturday night's 100-lap finale and final qualifying races. Headlining the Friday action is the 40-lap, $10,000-to-win Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson in honor of the founders of the Show-Me 100 and long-time owners of West Plains Motor Speedway.Pit gates open at 4 p.m. with grandstands at 5, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05 p.m.Wells wins POWRi Late Models: Justin Wells of Aurora scored a dominating victory, leading all 20 laps in the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model main event. It was the fourth feature win in four attempts for Wells this season and 15th triumph over the last two seasons in the division.Johnny Fennewald was a distant second. Tucker Cox was third with Andy Bryant fourth and Tommy Cordray taking fifth.Wells narrowly missed making the feature in the Cowboy Classic, finishing third in a B Main when the top two advanced.LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY UNOFFICIAL RESULTS (May 23, 2024)32nd annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of TourismLucas Oil Late ModelsA Feature - 1. 20RT-Ricky Thornton Jr[6]; 2. 58-Garrett Alberson[1]; 3. 99-Devin Moran[12]; 4. 32X-Chris Simpson[2]; 5. 19M-Spencer Hughes[5]; 6. 18D-Daulton Wilson[19]; 7. 111-Max Blair[23]; 8. 90-Brian Rickman[14]; 9. 49-Jonathan Davenport[24]; 10. 11G-Gordy Gundaker[22]; 11. 1-Tim McCreadie[9]; 12. 11T-Trevor Gundaker[21]; 13. 25C-Chad Simpson[7]; 14. 10-Garrett Smith[3]; 15. 21XXX-Neil Baggett[4]; 16. 46-Earl Pearson Jr[17]; 17. 7T-Drake Troutman[20]; 18. 17SS-Brenden Smith[13]; 19. 12-Scott Crigler[16]; 20. 1/4J-Jaxon Ertel[15]; 21. 36-Logan Martin[8]; 22. 74X-Ethan Dotson[18]; 23. 157-Mike Marlar[11]; 24. 71-Hudson O'Neal[10]Fast Shafts B Main 1 - 1. 74X-Ethan Dotson[2]; 2. 11T-Trevor Gundaker[3]; 3. 93F-Carson Ferguson[15]; 4. 8-Dillon McCowan[5]; 5. 1S-Jeremy Shaw[6]; 6. 6-Clay Harris[8]; 7. 78S-Steve Stultz[10]; 8. 21W-Chris Wilhite Jr[13]; 9. 15C-Clayton Stuckey[1]; 10. 11-Jeff Herzog[9]; 11. 7-Ross Robinson[11]; 12. 93-Cory Lawler[7]; 13. 14R-Jeff Roth[12]; 14. 26P-Glen Powell[14]; 15. 777-Jared Landers[4]; 16.

    LUCAS OIL MLRA TEAMS GEARING UP FOR RECORD PAYING SHOW-ME 100"

    Wheatland, Missouri (May 21, 2024) - For the second time in 2024, the Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) will find their way back to the confines of the Lucas Oil Speedway this weekend for the 32nd running of the "Show-Me 100" Presented by the Missouri Division of Tourism. A total of three nights of racing action will be on tap, as the nation's best from the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) join the Midwest best from the MLRA in this co-sanctioned event.This year's Show-Me weekend will boast a new record purse, paying out in excess of $275,000 over the course of the three nights of racing. Two critical qualifying nights will get the weekend going, as drivers fight for valuable points to be one of the top 18 teams that will be automatically locked into Saturday night's 100 lap main event. The winners take on both Thursday and Friday will jump from the traditional $6,000 to an impressive $10,000, making it possible for one driver to collect $70,000 if they can pull off the weekend sweep.The 11th Annual "Cowboy Classic" will once again get things started on Thursday, May 23rd. This weekend opener pays tribute to the longtime promotor and owner of the MLRA Allen "Cowboy" Chancellor, who was instrumental in the success of the regional series for many years. On Friday night, racing action will resume with another complete night of qualifying action, as the "Tribute to Don & Billie Gibson" takes center stage. The Gibson's were longtime owners of the West Plains Motor Speedway and are credited with starting the Show-Me 100 at their West Plains racetrack. Both Thursday and Friday will feature complete shows with all drivers competing in time-trial qualifying, heat races, B-Features, and A-Mains. There will be no Provisionals in either of the first two nights as all drivers will be forced to race their way into each nights respective A-Mains.SHOW-ME 100 "RACE DAY" -- Leading up to Saturday nights on track finale, will be a day full of activities at the Lucas Oil Speedway for fans, drivers, and teams alike. New in 2024 will be the 1st Annual Hellraizer Jacks "Pit Crew Challenge". This event will take place in the infield beginning at 3:30 pm, showcasing the top 18 teams that are locked into the night's finale. Each team will compete to see who can change two tires in the least amount of time with the winning team receiving $2,000 and a Hellraizer jack valued at $1,500.Nutrien Ag Solutions will once again present fans with a top-notch pre-race show featuring County Artist Creed Fisher performing some of his top songs before pre-race ceremonies get underway. This year's ceremonies will include a flyover by the KC Formation Flight Team following the presentation of colors and the National Anthem which will be performed by Fisher.Once action hits the track on Saturday night it will be time for drivers to go or go home, as B-Mains will be staged to fill out the balance of the starting grid. The Show-Me Challenge Presented by Midwest Sheet Metal will then give non-qualified drivers one last chance to race their way into the 100 lapper. The winner of this mini feature will have the option of taking $2,500 for the victory or opting to surrender the check and take the final starting spot at the tail of the 32nd Annual Show Me 100 for a chance at capturing the $50,000 crown jewels top prize.Jonathan Davenport swept both preliminary nights in 2023, while Dresden, OH driver Devin Moran claimed Saturday night's $50,000 top prize in the finale. On The Radar-- Last year's MLRA Sunoco Race Fuel Rookie of the Year Dillon McCowan has had his ups and downs through the first three rounds of MLRA action thus far in 2024, as the 20-year-old sits 7th in the overall season standings. However, a return trip to the Diamond of Dirt Tracks may make for no better time or place for the Urbana, Missouri driver to make his mark on the series. McCowan is coming off an impressing win this past weekend at the Kankakee County Speedway and was running in the top three the following night at the Highland Speedway before becoming involved in an incident that ended his night.In his first ever attempt at the Show-Me 100 one year ago, McCowan not only raced his way into the show but also came home with an impressive 6th place showing, which was highest among all MLRA drivers. In 2022 McCowan scored the victory in the Modified portion of the Show-Me, and now with a full year of late model experience under his belt he will look to find the top of the podium come Saturday in his Sonic # 8.MLRA Top 5--Heading into this weekend, there are a total of 18 MLRA drivers with perfect attendance chasing after a share of the series championship point fund. The familiar # 25 of Chad Simpson along with brother Chris Simpson occupy the top two spots, just as they left off one season ago. A new face to the MLRA in Gordy Gundaker sits in third after a strong podium finish at the Adams County Speedway back on May 5th. Two time series champion Tony Jackson Jr. is tied with Gundaker just 65 markers out of the point lead and is the only MLRA regular to record a top five this season at the Lucas Oil Speedway. Last years runner-up in the Sunoco Rookie standings Trevor Gundaker is also off to a solid start as the former MLRA winner rounds out the top five.

    "Diamond Dozen" of storylines to watch as 32nd annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism nears

    WHEATLAND, MO. (May 20, 2024) - One of the great weeks of the Dirt Late Model season has arrived. It's time for the 32nd annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism with the first of three nights of action on Thursday at Lucas Oil Speedway.There will be countless activities happening, on and off the race track, for everyone to enjoy. Before fans converge on south-central Missouri and turn the small city of Wheatland into a major mecca of dirt-track racing, here's a look at a "Diamond Dozen" of storylines to watch as the Lucas Oil Dirt Late Model Models and Lucas Oil MLRA Series arrive at the Diamond of Dirt Tracks:Is this RTJ's time? Ricky Thornton Jr. was the first to take the checkers at the 2023 Show-Me 100, but was penalized in post-race inspection for his car's deck height being 3/8-inch too high, elevating Devin Moran to victory lane. It was a crushing way to lose for Thornton, who went on to win an amazing 23 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series features. He's back at it again this season, already with a series-leading six wins.Look out for Superman: When it comes to Lucas Oil Speedway, no one is better than Jonathan Davenport. After his sweep of the Lucas MLRA Spring Nationals doubleheader in April in which he led all 100 laps, "Superman" has seven feature wins at Wheatland over the last two seasons. The Blairsville, Ga., driver won both preliminary night features at last year's Show-Me 100 and is looking for his first win in the 100-lap finale since 2015.Moran takes aim: The defending race champion is Devin Moran, but the Ohio driver admits the way he won last year was not fully satisfying as it came at Ricky Thornton Jr's expense. In a feature story in the Show-Me 100 official souvenir program, available at the Lucas Oil Speedway Track Treasures gift shop, Moran said it was "obviously it was not quite the way we wanted to win, but at the end of the day we got the big check and the trophy so it's always a great thing to come out of there with some money."Expect a dramatic finish: Since Jonathan Davenport led all 100 laps in dominating the 2015 Show-Me 100, the last seven editions of the race (the 2019 event was canceled due to storm damage) have seen the final lead change occur on lap 87 or later three times. Payton Looney led the final 70 circuits to prevail in 2020,. No recent Show-Me is more memorable than 2016 when Jimmy Owens took over with just eight laps remaining.Show-Me State hopes: Payton Looney of Republic became the second Missourian to win the Show-Me 100 when he scored a popular victory in 2020, joining Terry Phillips (1999) the only home-state winners. Looney is part of a contingent of Missourians who will be chasing victory lane again and that list includes 20-year-old Dillon McCowan from nearby Urbana, who ran a strong sixth in last year's 100-lap finale.Three nights, three features for a record purse: While everything will build toward the 100-lap, $50,000-to-win main event on Saturday night, there are three full nights of racing scheduled. Action kicks off on Thursday with the 10th annual Cowboy Classic, honoring the long-time MLRA Owner/Promoter Allen "Cowboy" Chancellor, headlining the program.

    Phillips hangs on for USRA Heartland Modified Tour victory in Lucas Oil Speedway headliner

    WHEATLAND, MO. (May 11, 2024) - Terry Phillips led all 30 laps, but it was a hard-fought battle to the finish as the veteran driver from Springfield captured a USRA Heartland Modified Tour feature win Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway.Phillips earned $2,000 for the victory, which also was the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified headliner of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series. Phillips held off Gabe Hodges by .209 seconds in a close battle that came down to the final turn, pitting the old pro against a young gun.Other feature winners on Vietti Marketing Group Night at the Races were Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models), William Garner (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars) and JC Morton (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods).A total of 115 cars checked into the pits, including 50 USRA Modifieds.Phillips, in his own Bloodline Race Car, utilized the low groove around the track from start to finish in his first added-money win at Lucas Oil Speedway in quite some time."I love coming up here. I run pretty decent in my Modified," Phillips said, noting the extra-thrill of victory in front of fans who rarely get to see him race near home as he's moved to top-level Modified racing full time in recent years.Phillips started on the pole after the pre-race redraw and led the way as the 30-lap feature began. But five cautions through five completed laps prevented him from building a margin between himself and second-place Gabe Hodges.As green-flag laps finally were logged and the race started to get a rhythm - it remained green the final 25 laps - Phillips led Hodges by just under one second when he caught lapped traffic on lap 13 with Tyler Wolff running a close third.Phillips hugged the low groove - as did the other contenders - until Hodges ducked to his inside in turn three on lap 19. Phillips was able to fend him off and Hodges moved up the track on lap 21 with Wolff putting the pressure on him. That allowed Phillips to extend his league to one second by lap 25.The leaders hit heavy traffic at the white flag adn Hodges closed in for one final charge. Phillips was able to hang on by a car length at the checkers with Wolff right behind.Phillips said he felt the presence of Hodges throughout, especially in the late going."I was watching the 'prompter' down the back straightaway," Phillips said of the video board overlooking turn three. "I've been doing this for a little while, Just as long as I didn't get excited. I slowed down a little bit and made sure I hit my marks."He had a good run there, but our car felt good," the 57-year-old Phillips added. "Instead of going forward, I just slowed down a little bit. An old-man tactic, I guess."Hodges, a 21-year-old from Lebo, Kan., said he thought he had a shot at passing Phillips on the final lap but wasn't quite able to get it done."We were really good in the feature, we just got all clogged up down on the bottom," Hodges said. "I wish I'd have went to the middle there a little sooner. I really thought I had it going on there that last lap, but just could quite get clear."Reigning track champ Ryan Middaugh finished fourth with Paden Phillips coming home in fifth.Wells prevails again in POWRi Late Models: Justin Wells of Aurora made it three Lucas Oil Speedway victories in as many attempts this season, holding off JC Morton for the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model feature win.The reigning track champion held off Morton by about three car lengths at the finish to repel Morton's strong late charge. It was his 108th win in the 2006 TNT Chassis.The feature took a while to get going as two cautions were recorded before a single lap was completed. When some green-flag laps were recorded, Wells wasted no time opening a three-second lead over Tucker Cox just five laps into the race.Wells' lead went away due to another pair of cautions at that point, as early top-five contenders Larry Jones and Joe Walkenhorst dropped out. Wells held a one-second lead over Morton by lap-10 when the race's fifth caution flew.As action resumed, Morton pulled alongside Wells down the backstretch on lap 13. Wells rode the high line to hold off the charge and maintain the lead, but by lap 17 he had again opened up nearly a one-second edge.Morton mounted a last run on the final lap, but Wells held him off by one-half second for his latest victory.Tyler Kuykendall made a late pass of Tucker Cox to finish third with Chad Walter completing the top five.Garner grabs USRA Stock Cars win: William Garner took the lead on lap six and held off a late charge by Waylon Dimmitt to grab the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win.Brent Fielder started on the pole and led the opening five laps before Garner got around him on lap six. One lap later, the race's first caution came out with another flying on lap nine when Fielder spun in turn two after he had been battling Jaylen Wettengel for second.Wettengel, Dimmitt and Rodney Schweizer all were putting pressure on Garner after the restart with James McMillin also joining the fray. But as the foursome battled behind him, Garner was able to drive to a 1.2-second lead by lap 14.As the race remained caution-free the rest of the way, Dimmitt became Garner's chief threat as the white flag waved. Garner was able to hold on by a half-car length or .109 seconds in a thriller.Wettengel officially was elevated to a second-place finish after Dimmitt's car failed post-race tech. McMillin was third with Schweizer fourth and Mason Beck fifth.Morton drives to B-Mod triumph: Springfield's JC Morton led all 20 laps for the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win, dominating in a Bloodline Race Car just like the night's headliner and his stablemate Terry Phillips.Morton - who also was a close second in the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model feature earlier in the evening - started third but had the lead by the completion of lap one. Pole-starting Andy Bryant gave chase with Bobby Williams in third.As the drivers navigated a bumpy surface entering turn one, Morton opened up a 2.4-second cushion over Bryant by lap seven and had a 3.3-second command when a caution came out on lap eight.Getting a clear track ahead after the restart, Morton wasted little time in pulling away from the field and re-establishing his comfortable lead as Bryant battled Eric Turner for second. By the time Morton caught up with lapped cars, he was three seconds clear with five to go.But the event's second caution put some mystery back into the outcome, forcing Morton to again execute on a restart. Bryant went to the high groove as the green flew, but Morton continued his dominance on the bottom.Morton rolled from there and wound up 2.3 seconds ahead of Bryant with Turner third, Trevor Drake fourth and Williams fifth."The track had a little bit of character, but (the track crew) did good with all the rain we've had," Morton said, adding that he and Phillips have been working together to dial in the Bloodline cars.LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY UNOFFICIAL RESULTS (May 11, 2024)USRA Heartland Modified TourA Feature - 1. 75-Terry Phillips[1]; 2. 7G-Gabe Hodges[4]; 3. 4W-Tyler Wolff[11]; 4. 21-Ryan Middaugh[3]; 5. 10B-Brandon Givens[7]; 6. 65-Tyler Davis[18]; 7. 02-Tanner Mullens[19]; 8. 91-Joe Duvall[8]; 9. 4-Dan Powers[14]; 10. 38C-Jason Pursley[17]; 11. 511-Tanner Barnhart[2]; 12. 44T-Tanner Black[20]; 13. 3B-Nic Bidinger[10]; 14. 15W-Wyatt Gaggero[21]; 15. 88-Chad Wheeler[24]; 16. 127-Paden Phillips[6]; 17. 5-Robbie Reed[25]; 18.

    Moran Returns to Lucas Oil Victory Lane with $30,000 Win at Fairbury

    FAIRBURY, ILLINOIS (May 18, 2024) - Devin Moran regained the lead from Jason Feger on lap 45 and went on to win the FALS Spring Shootout - Presented by Titan Industries on Saturday night at Fairbury Speedway. Moran collected $30,000 for his second Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season.Moran, who won the track's signature event, the Prairie Dirt Classic in 2018, held off Ricky Thornton, Jr., the defending PDC champion for the win. Brandon Sheppard took third followed by Feger, and Jonathan Davenport.Moran started on the outside of the front row and took the lead at the start of the 60 lap-race. Mike Marlar grabbed second behind Moran at the start as he trailed last year's runner-up in the championship points for the first 16 circuits until Feger, who started sixth took over second from Marlar on lap 17. Feger was not done yet and after reaching second took just two more laps to get the lead passing Moran on lap 19. Feger, who entered the race with three career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victories used the outside line to try and extend his lead out over Moran, and Sheppard who had climbed to third.The trio of Feger, Moran, and Sheppard ran that way until Moran was able to regain the point from Feger on lap 45. Thornton then started to get going, after running outside the top five for several laps. The current championship point leader, who was looking for his fourth series win in a row, moved into the second spot as Feger fell to fourth behind Sheppard.Moran stayed glued to the bottom of the track as the race went with a long stretch of green flag racing to the end. Thornton made a last-ditch effort on the final circuit but came up 0.760 seconds short of Moran at the finish.In Lucas Oil Victory Lane, for the tenth time in his career, Moran, who currently sits third in the championship standings was relieved to get back to Victory Lane at Fairbury for the first time in 6 years."I was trying to be patient and save my tires a little because he was running the top," said Moran after seeing Feger pass him for the lead. "I saw there was 25 to go and I knew it was time to go, I knew I needed to get by him. Feger didn't move down, and thank goodness, because it worked out for us. It's hard to lead here when you see the 20RT behind you on the scoreboard, but fortunately for me I was able to stay on the bottom, I wasn't going to move from there."Thornton who has six Big River Steel Podium finishes in 2024, all wins, had his first second-place finish of the season. "If I could have won my heat race, I might have had a better shot at the win. I didn't fire off as good as I needed to and it kind of took me a while to get going. We just slowly and methodically worked our way forward. There for a while I thought Feger was going to win the thing; he took off like a rocket there. Congrats to Devin; his stuff has been really good."Sheppard, who rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third, tried valiantly in the last 10 laps to get by Moran and Thornton using the top line, but couldn't get close enough. "They were all single file around the bottom, and I figured I could give it a whirl once at least. I think I could have been more aggressive at the beginning of the race. I had a pretty good balanced car all night long."The winner's Roger Sellers, Double Down Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Lazydays RV, Big River Steel, C&W Trucking, Bilstein Shocks, McHugh Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram, Red Oak Pub, Haulin' Haskell's, Car Source Auto, and Smoky Mountain Speedway.Completing the top ten were Mike Marlar, Nick Hoffman, Tim McCreadie, Mike Harrison, and Cody Overton.Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Race Summary FALS Spring Shootout - Presented by Titan IndustriesSaturday, May 11, 2024Fairbury Speedway - Fairbury, ILAllstar Performance Time TrialsFast Time Group A: Mike Marlar | 13.403 seconds (overall)Fast Time Group B: Devin Moran | 13.609 secondsPenske Shocks Heat Race #1 Finish (10 Laps, Top 4 Transfer): 1. 157-Mike Marlar[1]; 2. 97-Cody Overton[2]; 3. 17SS-Brenden Smith[8]; 4. 32X-Chris Simpson[4]; 5. 6-Clay Harris[7]; 6. 111-Max Blair[6]; 7. 71-Hudson O'Neal[9]; 8. 38J-Jake Little[11]; 9. 81-Jason Riggs[5]; 10. 99B-Boom Briggs[12]; 11. 93F-Carson Ferguson[3]; 12. 17A-Austin Howes[10]Summit Racing Products Heat Race #2 Finish (10 Laps, Top 4 Transfer): 1. 49-Jonathan Davenport[1]; 2. 20RT-Ricky Thornton Jr[2]; 3. 33-Mike Harrison[6]; 4. 58-Garrett Alberson[3]; 5. 11-Gordy Gundaker[5]; 6. 18D-Daulton Wilson[7]; 7. 7T-Drake Troutman[10]; 8. 19R-Ryan Gustin[9]; 9. 11T-Trevor Gundaker[8]; 10. 1-Tim McCreadie[4]; 11. 33 4-Billy Hough[11]; 12.

    Thornton Comes from Eighth for Third Straight Lucas Oil Triumph

    FARMER CITY, ILLINOIS (May 10, 2024) - It wasn't an easy win for Ricky Thornton Jr. who from the eighth starting spot to take the lead on the 71st circuit after race leader Shannon Babb slowed on the track. From there, Thornton led the remaining four laps of the Farmer City 74 on Friday night to take the victory.Thornton was the third different leader of the race as he went on to win his third straight Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event, earning $25,000 out of the $85,800 feature purse for his 34th career series win. It was the second ever visit to the Illinois bullring for the series as the event drew a stout 55-car field.Jonathan Davenport came home in the runner-up spot followed by the third straight Big River Steel Podium finish for Garrett Alberson. Dennis Erb Jr. finished fourth followed by 16th-place starter Jimmy Owens, who rounded out the top five finishers.Davenport jumped to the early lead with former Dirt Track World Championship winner Garrett Smith holding down the second spot. Smith held the runner-up position until Thornton, who started on the outside of the fourth row, moved in second around Smith on lap 24.Davenport and Thornton dueled it out for the lead until Babb joined the party, as the veteran Illini racer and fan favorite, came from ninth and powered to the lead of the race on lap 55. Thornton moved by Davenport to take over second as he challenged Babb for the lead up until lap 70 when Babb suddenly slowed on the track and headed to the pit area out of the event. Thornton then went on to lead the final four laps for the win.In Lucas Oil Victory Lane, for the sixth time in 2024, Thornton was relieved the race was over where 21 of the 30 starters finished the race as traffic played a huge role in the event."I got second to JD and I'm like man it was going to be a real good night for us. We got to traffic, and I closed up on him a little bit and I thought man I've got a shot here, but I don't want to do something dumb and put myself in the wall in three and four. I moved him up a little bit and it really killed my line. I really wanted to go to the top on those restarts and I'm like if I give Babb the bottom, he was going to drive right by me and if JD gets the top he was going to get by me. I don't know but that's probably the hardest we have drove in a while. I want to thank JD for leaving us a lane every time and the same with Shannon there. It was a wild one."Davenport, who is seeking a record-tying fourth Lucas Oil championship came home in the runner-up position after leading the most laps of any driver with 54. "That's the best we have been here by far. It just wasn't good enough. I probably should have got up and run the top a little bit more. I just couldn't steer getting in. We changed a few things and went a lot stiffer on the front. I just couldn't steer good enough to run the top like I wanted to. I just stayed straight and run the middle there. I was pretty good. Man, I hate that for Babb because after he passed me, I was cheering him on."Alberson, who won a regular show last Friday night at Famer City got his third straight and fourth of the year Big River Steel Podium finish as he continues to show improvement though the season."We have learned some things in the last month or so that seems to have really worked on our car up here. I am just super proud of the team. It's super cool to run here in front of these fans at a track I love to race on. I hadn't had a good finish here in a long time before last week and tonight." The winner's Todd and Vickie Burns, SSI Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms, Dyno One Inc., West Side Tractor Sales Company, Bilstein Shocks, EMD Wraps, and Sunoco Race Fuels.Completing the top ten were Chris Simpson, Hudson O'Neal, Cody Overton, Ryan Gustin, and Tim McCreadie.Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Race Summary Farmer City 74Friday, May 10, 2024Farmer City Raceway - Farmer City, ILAllstar Performance Time TrialsFast Time Group A: Jonathan Davenport | 12.578 seconds (overall)Fast Time Group B: Garrett Smith | 12.639 secondsPenske Shocks Heat Race #1 Finish (8 Laps, Top 3 Transfer): 1. 49-Jonathan Davenport[1]; 2. 28-Dennis Erb Jr[2]; 3. 99B-Boom Briggs[4]; 4. 99JR-Frank Heckenast Jr[5]; 5. 75-Daniel Adam[6]; 6. 74-Mitch McGrath[7]; 7. 8L-Jeffrey Ledford[8]; 8. 33 4-Billy Hough[9]; 9. 1T-Tyler Erb[3]; 10.

    Five Drivers to Compete for O'Reilly Auto Parts Rookie of the Year in 2024

    BATAVIA, Ohio (May 10, 2024) - Five drivers have declared to compete for the title of O'Reilly Auto Parts Rookie of the Year with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series in 2024: Brenden Smith, Carson Ferguson, Clay Harris, Cory Lawler, and Drake Troutman.With O'Reilly Auto Parts returning as the title sponsor of the Rookie of the Year program in 2024, the driver to prevail will once again earn an industry high $20,000. In addition to their cash award, the Rookie of the Year will also receive product certificates from various product manufacturers - valued at an additional $10,000. Second and third place in the final Rookie of the Year standings will pay $5,000 and $2,500 respectively.Brenden Smith, an 18-year-old residing in Dade City, Florida began his racing career in 2009 at just four years old. Following numerous kart victories, Smith made the step up to late models in 2017. Within a year, he'd already earned his first victory. Smith is looking forward to chasing his dream of competing on the national tour this season.The elder of this year's rookie class, Carson Ferguson is a 24-year-old from Lincolnton, North Carolina. Ferguson, who has fielded an entry in the regional spotlight with Paylor Motorsports for several years, filled the void left by Tim McCreadie who left the team in April. Ferguson is aware of the tall task ahead but is up for the challenge and recognizes the experience gained will be crucial to his future in the national scene. 22-year-old Clay Harris of Jupiter, Florida began racing karts locally at age five. After accumulating an impressive 422 karting victories and thirteen championships along the way, Harris made the move to late models in 2017. Clay earned five wins in his first fourteen starts and has continued to find success behind the wheel of late models and modifieds. Cory Lawler is the son of Pennsylvania standout Pancho Lawler. The 22-year-old pilot of the iconic number 93 began his racing career at age eight in quarter midgets. After multiple championships in quarter midgets, Lawler moved up to 125cc micro springs then on to 600cc winged micros where he enjoyed much of the same success including numerous victories and track championships. From there, Lawler stepped into the late model ranks where he has competed alongside his father for the past several years. The father-son duo has now shifted their focus to finding success on the national scene in 2024 and beyond.Like many of his fellow Rookie of the Year contenders, 18-year-old Drake Troutman of Hyndman, Pennsylvania began his career early in life, racing karts at age four. After stacking up over 50 kart victories, Troutman shifted to modifieds at age eleven. After adding a late model to the stable, Troutman has become a standout with over 50 modified and late model triumphs and multiple track championships on his resume.Drivers battling for the O'Reilly Auto Parts Rookie of the Year title in 2024 will pursue the entire Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series schedule and see a scattering of racetracks for the very first time. This year's schedule is composed of 63 events at 28 unique venues across 16 states spanning from January to October.In addition to the increased awards to the Rookie of the Year, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will pay a $100 cash bonus to the highest finishing rookie driver in each feature event."We are excited to have a great group of drivers chasing the O'Reilly Auto Parts Rookie of the year award in 2024.

    Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Jason Pursley looks forward to Heartland Modified Tour visit to his home track

    WHEATLAND, MO. (May 9, 2024) - It's pretty safe to say that Jason Pursley has made more laps around Lucas Oil Speedway - especially in a USRA Modified - than anyone else since the track opened in 2006.That is one reason Pursley feels he has at least a fighting chance when the new Heartland Modified Tour rolls into Wheatland for the first time as the headliner of Saturday night's Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series program.With $2,000 awaiting the winner of the Arctic Food Services USRA Modified feature, several United States Modified Touring Series stars likely will be on hand as the USMTS series is idle this weekend. Pursley said he always enjoys the challenge of going up against the best of the best in Modified racing."It's basically gonna be a USMTS show," Pursley said of Saturday. "It was the same way a couple of weeks ago in Humboldt, for the season opener of the Heartland Tour. The USMTS was rained out and those guys show up. When they do, you know they're gonna be really, really tough to beat ... but they're a lot of fun to race with."If you do happen to run well or beat the, you know that you've done something."A full night of action awaits as the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods, Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock cars also will be on the program. All Moms will be admitted free courtesy of Vietti Marketing Group.The Heartland Modified Tour came into being this year to provide a boost to weekly USRA Modified racers, who have seen a steady decline in car count over the last few years. Pursley said it's a welcomed opportunity to help the Modified division throughout the region as the HMT runs in conjunction with weekly programs at the tracks it visits."I'm real excited about this new series," Pursley said. "The last few years, as the B Mods have grown and MW Mods and all the other Mod classes have come into fruition, the A Mods have kind of been struggling a little bit. I'm hoping this series makes for a little more interest in A Mods and helps the tracks that run A Mods."Pursley, knowing as the "Racing Superintendent" for his job as Superintendent of Hickory County R-1 Schools in Skyline, will have to sit out the first half of this weekend's doubleheader on Friday at Lebanon Midway Speedway. It's graduation night at Skyline High and figures his day job must take precedence."The job pays a little more than racing, so I guess I'd better go and do my job," Pursley said with a laugh.But he's eager to fire it up on Saturday, hoping that a home-track advantage might help level the playing field against top competition."If I'm going to have to race against those guys, I'd want it to be at Lucas just because I have so many laps there," he said. "The only USMTS race I almost won was at Lucas, when Jason Krohn ended up beating me and I ended up second. But I'm always excited to race against those guys, especially on my home turf."Pursley had a fifth-place feature run at Humboldt last month in the Heartland Tour opener, then had a second last weekend at Springfield Raceway finishing between USMTS regulars Terry Phillips and Tanner Mullens. While starts have been limited so far, he's ready to see how his nearly new MB Customs car owned by long-time car owner Tom Campbell fares this spring and summer."Tom got this car last year and we raced it at USRA Nationals and a couple of times this year," Pursley said, noting the red wrap scheme has replaced his traditional blue one. "So far, we've really liked the car. It feels different than the old MB Customs car we had. The corner speed is a lot more than the other one. Any time you have more corner speed, you have more straightaway speed."With five career runner-up finishes in pursuit of a Lucas Oil Speedway track championship, Pursley said his season goals include winning the elusive championship on his home track and earning top-10 in Heartland Modified Tour points."The Heartland series and Lucas only have about two conflicts, so I think we'll be able to run them both," he said. "So those are our goals and hopefully we can attaint them."This marks the second Weekly Championship Series program of the season at Lucas Oil Speedway after an April 27 rainout. Feature winners on April 20 were Robbie Reed (USRA Modifieds), Ryan Gillmore (USRA B-Mods), Justin Wells (POWRi Late Models) and Derek Brown (USRA Stock Cars).Pits open at 4 p.m. with grandstands at 4:30, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05 p.m.Kids Power Wheel races at intermission: Round 2 of Kids Power Wheel Championship Series will be held during intermission with a 24V-36V class.

    WHEATLAND, MO. (May 4, 2024) - Wesley Smith of Nixa led all 25 laps to capture the POWRi WAR Sprint League feature victory Saturday night, turning a close battle into a runaway late as he beat Jack Wagner by 2.8 seconds.The victory, at the 13th annual Impact Signs Awnings & Wraps Open Wheel Showdown at Lucas Oil Speedway, moved Smith into second place in all-time POWRi WAR wins with 14. Smith is 2-for-2 in 2024, adding to a feature win in the season opener at I-70 Speedway."I think they put some new dirt on this surface and definitely for the better," Smith said of Lucas Oil Speedway. "It's definitely a little tricky. It's not the smoothest or the fastest surface I've ever raced on, but it's one of the funnest. It seems the WAR Series is putting on some great shows."Smith started up front and led the opening lap as Kory Schudy moved into second before a caution flew on lap two. Wagner, of Lone Jack, moved around Schudy for the second spot two laps after the restart.The order remained that way as the laps ticked by with Smith maintaining a quarter-second lead over Wagner. Those two waged a tremendous battle for the lead as the race reached lap 12 when Wagner couldn't quite pull off a slider for the lead. No matter what Wagner tried, Smith was up to the challenge and he was able to use lapped traffic to expand his lead to close out the wire-to-wire victory."Man, that was a fun race," Smith said, noting Wagner's near-pass eight eight laps remaining. "I told him after the race 'if you'd have waited one more corner and one more lap, you'd have passed me.'"Schudy, of Battlefield, Mo., finished third with Keith Martin of Cleburne, Texas, coming home in fourth.In other divisions of the Open Wheel Showdown:Reinbold earns first POWRi Midget League victory: Hayden Reinbold of Chandler, Ariz., dominated from start to finish for his first POWRi National and West Midget league career victory.The 20-year-old Reinbold started on the pole and rolled to the lead in a race slowed by only one early caution. He opened a 2.2-second command over Shannon McQueen by lap nine and maintained consistent laps the rest of the way to lead all 15 circuits.McQueen, of Bakersfield, Calif., held off 15-year-old Gunnar Setser of Columbus, Ind., for the runner-up positions. Broc Elliott of California, Mo., finished fourth."We've been struggling a little bit lately, so we came down here to run POWRi and we had a lot of fun," Reinbold said. "It was a bummer we were rained out last night (at Callaway Raceway) but we were super happy to show that we have some speed."This place is awesome. The facility is nice," Reinbold said of Lucas Oil Speedway. "I've been here once before and I crashed, but I had a lot of fun (tonight). This place is sick."POWRi Ozark Region 360 Sprints: Miles Paulus overtook Randy Martin with three laps remaining and went on to score his first POWRi Ozark Region 360 Sprint feature victory.Paulus, of Marshall, started fourth and gave chase to Martin most of the way before finally reeling him in and making the decisive pass. Paulus wound up beating sixth-starting Gunner Ramey and Paulus at the checkers.Martin sprinted to the lead from the start as Paulus gave chase and had a one-second lead over Paulus 10 laps into the feature. As the race continued under green, Paulus cut the lead to .090 of a second by lap 16.Paulus completed his march to the front by sliding past Martin in turn two on lap 17 with Ramey, from Sedalia, right behind. Once out in front, Paulus pulled away as Martin, of California, Mo., and Ramey went back-and-forth for second. Paulus finished 3.06 seconds in front of Ramey with Martin settling for third."Everybody on the side of this car ... I get to stand here and say that I won, but we won as a team," Paulus said. "I'm very grateful for their support. It's a team effort."LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY UNOFFICIAL RESULTS (May 4, 2024)13th annual Impact Signs Awnings & Wraps Open Wheel ShowdownPOWRi WAR SprintsTRD Feature - 1. 44-Wesley Smith[1]; 2. 77-Jack Wagner[4]; 3. 28-Kory Schudy[3]; 4. 79-Keith Martin[6]; 5. 73-Samuel Wagner[5]; 6. 21K-Kobe Simpson[7]; 7. 11W-Wyatt Burks[8]; 8.

    Thornton Sweeps Mid-Atlantic Weekend with Port Royal Triumph

    PORT ROYAL, PA (April 28, 2024) - Ricky Thornton Jr. swept the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Mid-Atlantic swing, winning on Friday night at Georgetown Speedway in Delaware and Sunday night at Pennsylvania's Port Royal Speedway.Thornton led every lap of the Battle in the Borough to score his 33rd career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win. With the weekend sweep Thornton becomes the first driver to go over $100,000 in season earnings after picking up the $10,000 victory at Port Royal.It was not easy at Port Royal for Thornton as Mike Marlar stayed within striking distance throughout the race. Marlar ended up in the runner-up spot at the checkers; 1.538 seconds behind the winner. Garrett Alberson earned his second straight Big River Steel Podium finish by taking third. Jonathan Davenport and Devin Moran, who dropped back as far as 15th rallied to round out the top five."I felt like my stuff was really good there," said Thornton who was in Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the fifth time in 2024. "I was trying to play it a little in one and two, but I think I let Mikey get a little closer to me. Luckily the yellow came out because I think maybe he would have won. I have got to thank whoever brought out that yellow because it put me back out front. It was starting to get a little treacherous there up top, but I figured if you were going to win you had to be up there.""I have a little bit of body damage. I had to settle back down a little bit after I saw Mikey there. You go so fast down the straightaways here it's easy to overshoot the top and that will get you in trouble. I knew I had to calm down; like I know we have a good car, so I didn't want to mess it up. For the most part most the traffic was patient, and they left me a lane around the top."Marlar tried several times to pull even with Thornton in turns one and two but could never muster enough to clear him to officially lead a lap. "That's just how it goes sometimes. Ricky should have won the race here last year, but broke. That's part of the comings and goings in racing. I'm just glad we were able to race him good. We were horrendous on Friday night. We got rained out last night, so it feels good to head back to Tennessee on a good note. This track is unbelievable. You can race 10 different ways here into the corner. I felt like I drove the car good there and felt like I made good decisions. I got by him, but it didn't work out." Alberson earned his third, third-place finish of the season - inching closer and closer to his first career series win. "Hats off to the track crew; that thing was really fun; you could move all over the place. I think we needed to stay green there because they [Thornton and Marlar] started dicing there in lapped traffic and I kind of had a lane that they weren't running in. I think it could have gotten really good. I am just super stoked to drive this car and I love these big tracks."The winner's Todd and Vickie Burns, SSI Motorsports ,Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms, Dyno One Inc., West Side Tractor Sales, Bilstein Shocks, EMD Wraps, and Sunoco Race Fuels.The rest of the top ten finishers were Max Blair, Mason Zeigler, Jimmy Owens, Tyler Erb, and Carson Ferguson.Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Race Summary Battle in the BoroughSunday, April 28, 2024Port Royal Speedway - Port Royal, PAAllstar Performance Time TrialsFast Time Group A: Ricky Thornton, Jr. | 18.054 seconds (overall)Fast Time Group B: Mike Marlar | 18.782 secondsPenske Shocks Heat Race #1 Finish (8 Laps, Top 4 Transfer): 1. 20RT-Ricky Thornton Jr[1]; 2. 18D-Daulton Wilson[4]; 3. 1-Tim McCreadie[3]; 4. 99-Devin Moran[2]; 5. 15K-Jensen Ford[5]; 6. 2J-Justin Weaver[9]; 7. 45-Kyle Hardy[8]; 8. 66-Justin Kann[6]; 9. 17SS-Brenden Smith[7]; 10. 18*-Dylan Cecce[11]; 11. 21-Chad Myers[10]; 12. 25K-Kody Lyter[12]Summit Racing Products Heat Race #2 Finish (8 Laps, Top 4 Transfer): 1. 20-Jimmy Owens[1]; 2. 111-Max Blair[2]; 3. 1T-Tyler Erb[3]; 4. 7-Ross Robinson[4]; 5. 119-Bryan Bernheisel[5]; 6. 6-Clay Harris[9]; 7. 0Y-Andrew Yoder[6]; 8. 4-Gary Stuhler[8]; 9. 48-Colton Flinner[7]; 10.

    Ricky Thornton Jr. Goes Back-to-Back at Georgetown

    GEORGETOWN, DE (April 26, 2024) - For the second consecutive year, Ricky Thornton Jr. was a man on a mission at Georgetown Speedway. The current Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points leader won the Melvin L. Joseph Memorial Race earning $19,049 on Friday night.Thornton led all 49 laps to earn his fourth series win of 2024. Devin Moran finished second followed by Garrett Alberson, Jonathan Davenport, and Ross Robinson.In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 32nd time in his career, Thornton exclaimed he has taken a liking to Georgetown's race track the last two years winning both times the series has appeared at the 3/8th's mile. Moran tried to make it close when the two encountered traffic, but timely caution flags thwarted any ideas that Moran had to overhaul Thornton. Thornton's winning margin at the finish was 1.679 seconds."I love coming here," said Thornton. "I wish we were here more often. I don't know, there is something about this place that fits me. I am not sure if we had the best car or not, I felt like when I got to traffic, I got slowed down quite a bit. The car was really good. We have a lot more work the next two nights, it's definitely a good way to start the weekend. I moved up in three and four and I thought it's hairy out here. My crew told me to get back to the bottom. My car was good after those restarts; the yellows came out at an opportune time for me when I got to traffic."Moran continued his surge in the series with his third straight Big River Steel Podium as he nailed down the runner-up spot at the checkers. "I felt like I could keep pace with Ricky. I don't think I was any better than him. I was hoping to get in lapped traffic. I was wanting to be able to try it on the top of three and four, but Ricky and those guys are obviously always on it so congratulations to those guys. All-in-all it was a good run. I have a decent track record here at Georgetown. I love coming here to race."Alberson, who led several laps in this event a year ago rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "I am not sure why I get around here so well. Growing up I didn't think tracks like this would be my thing. I am just super proud of my guys. It was really fun. I was surprised how much speed you carry off in there. It didn't look like it had the banking to be able to do that. Hats off to Ricky and Devin; it was a fun race."The winner's Todd and Vickie Burns, SSI Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and is sponsored by Big River Steel, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms, Dyno One Inc., West Side Tractor Sales, Bilstein Shocks, EMD Wraps, and Sunoco Race Fuels.Completing the top ten were Jimmy Owens, Tyler Erb, Tim McCreadie, Daulton Wilson, and Max Blair.Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Race Summary The Melvin L.

    Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Fan favorite Cornell looks to make most in break from Super Late Models

    WHEATLAND, MO. (April 24, 2024) - Kaeden Cornell ventured into the world of Super Late Model racing with big dreams and a limited budget. That combination usually doesn't lead to a great deal of success against teams that combine talent and money.The 23-year-old from Willard still has aspirations to compete at the highest level of Late Model racing, at some point. But for now, he and team owners Rick and Melissa Hoover, are returning to their roots.That isn't necessarily a bad thing for Cornell, a four-time Lucas Oil Speedway winner of the fan-voted Most Popular Driver Award from 2017-20."Right now, I just want to race. I actually haven't got to race a lot the last couple of years," Cornell said. "I know it sounds cliche, but I want to win races."Driving the same Black Diamond chassis as he debuted in 2023 but with different tire, motor and shock packages, Cornell is back at Lucas Oil Speedway - at least occasionally - in the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model division. He finished second to reigning track champ Justin Wells in last week's Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series program and looks forward to giving it another go this Saturday night."Any time I get to go back there, it's like a homecoming," Cornell said of Lucas. "That place is like home with all the laps we've made there. It's great to be back and see all the fans, the racers, the staff and everyone there. Everyone is always so nice there."Cornell started out at Lucas Oil Speedway in USRA B-Mods before becoming a championship contender in the weekly Late Model Series when Rick Hoover gave him a ride in 2017. He won three Late Model features in 2019 and two more in 2020.From 2021-23, he and Hoover Motorsports gave the higher levels of dirt Late Models a try and had a few top-10 runs scattered along the way. But the team was plagued by motor issues and had to back it down this season, after only attempting seven races in 2023.Despite the frustration, Cornell thinks he's become a wiser driver with some of that experience against the national and regional teams."Just how hard those guys drive," Cornell said of his top takeaway. "You can't take one lap off. It's dog-eat-dog. That's why they're the best of what they do."Something that seems straightforward, such as time trials to earn a heat-race starting position, is of ultra importance."You go out and make those two laps and I'd pull in and tell Dad (and crew chief Aaron Cornell) that I was exhausted," Cornell said. "You're just holding your breath the whole time because those laps are so important. If you start in the back against those guys, you might as well load up and go home."The open Late Model deal, it straight-up comes down to funds. It's so expensive to be competitive. I'm so thankful for Rick and Melissa Hoover. They've been so good to me, giving me the opportunity to drive a Late Model."Cornell said there's a chance, if the season goes well, the team could enter a couple of Lucas Oil MLRA type of races late in the season. Two of his better runs came last fall, a 10th and a seventh on back-to-back nights at the MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial.But for now, he's keeping his focus on once again winning at Wheatland and some other regional ovals. He plans to hit some other POWRi Late Model events and Cash Money Late Model Series races this summer."At least we got the dust knocked off," he said of last week's runner-up finish. "I haven't got to race a bunch the last two years. It was good to be back at Lucas Oil Speedway, where we've made a bunch of laps."I wish we had won our heat race and had a chance to start up front in the feature. Justin's really good. There's a reason he's in the Hall of Fame."Cornell''s sponsors include Hoover Motorsports, Cloverleaf Auto Repair, Asphalt Sealcoating and Striping, Oil & Octane Shop, Millard Family Chapel, Midwest Sheet Metal, Black Diamond Race Cars, Mullins Race Engines, Choate Farms, Swift Springs, TruForm Race Products, Dynamic Drivelines, Simpson Race Products, MyRacePass, SuperMoon Graphics, G-Six Detailing and Smoke Racing.USRA Stock Cars features on Saturday: Lucas Oil Speedway returns to action on Saturday with the Round 2 of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series with Ozarks Coca-Cola/Dr Pepper Night at the Races.

    Gillmore earns USRA B-Mod feature win in Lucas Oil Speedway Weekly Series opening-night headliner

    WHEATLAND, MO. (April 20, 2024) - Ryan Gillmore stalked the leader through numerous restarts due to cautions, then pounced with three laps remaining to capture the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods feature Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway.Gillmore, of Springfield, beat Nevada's Jon Sheets by just under one second to grab the headliner of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series opening-night program.A total of 73 cars checked into the pits on a cool Public Telecommunicators Appreciation Night at the Races. Other feature winners included Derek Brown (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars), Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models) and Robbie Reed (Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds).Gillmore had to patiently wait out a series of cautions and ensuing restarts to make his winning pass with three laps remaining in the 25-lap main event. He earned $750 for the victory.Early on, Sheets used the high groove to pressure Tanner Kade for the lead by lap four, then made a pass out of turn four for the lead to complete lap five. He wasted no time opening up a one-second lead over pole-starting Kade with Gillmore running third.The race's first caution came on lap seven and bunched the field, just as Sheets was threatening to make it a runaway. Kade spun in front of several front-runners in turn two on the restart, eliminating himself and fifth-running JC Newell from contention. That allowed Gillmore and JC Morton to move into second and third.Morton moved to the low side and worked into second by lap 15 after a fifth restart, but a lap later Gillmore was back chasing Sheets as Morton fell a spot. Sheets and Gillmore traded slide jobs on back-to-back laps until Gillmore finally worked himself into the top spot off turn four on lap 22."That was awesome," Gillmore said of the hot battle between himself and Sheets with Morton also in the mix. "JC was down there rolling the bottom and Sheets was just not messing up. I threw kind of a half-slider on him and it was game-on from there. Thanks to Jon for racing me clean. That was a lot of fun."The first time I tossed it in there, I wasn't 100 percent sure," Gillmore added of the sliders. "The second time I hit it a little harder and I hoped it was gonna be good. You have to be confident that you're gonna clear the car and respect who you're with and if they don't have respect for you, they're gonna show you."Gillmore had a five-car-length lead when the race's seventh caution appeared on lap 23 to set on a two-lap sprint to the finish. Gillmore had a great restart on the low groove and drove away, finishing eight car lengths in front of Sheets with Morton third."I kind of hated those cautions because my car wouldn't take off, it wasn't running the best," Sheets said. "I really wanted it to stay green. But congratulations to Ryan. That was a pretty good race there."Defending track champion Bobby Williams wound up fourth with Travor Drake fifth.Brown earns USRA Stock Cars win: Derek Brown of Stoutland took the lead for good on lap 15 and held off Jaylen Wettengel the rest of the way to grab the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win.Rodney Schweizer started on the pole and led the opening two laps, but fifth-starting Johnny Fennewald was pressuring for the lead when a caution waved on lap four. One lap after the restart, Brown passed Fennewald for second place.Brown continued his momentum and worked alongside Schweizer before passing on the outside coming off turn four for the lead on lap 10. But back came Schweizer, re-taking the top spot on lap 12.Jaylen Wettengel joined the battle and it was a three-car tussle for the lead by lap 15, when Brown emerged the leader once again. The terrific battle was slowed for a caution on circuit 16 to set up a four-lap sprint to the finish.Brown said the caution might have helped him as he noticed Wettengel running the low groove and making good time just prior to the yellow coming out."I saw him down there and I was a little confused where to go," Brown said. "I kind of stole his lane."Brown maintained the lead from the low line as action returned to green, leading Wettenel and Fennewald when caution came out again with two laps left. Brown had a good restart and held off Wettengel for the victory by .670 seconds.Fennewald wound up a close third with Waylon Dimmitt fourth and Schweizer finishing fifth.Wells scores POWRi Late Model triumph: After dominating the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model division in 2023, Justin Wells is at it again. Wells grabbed the lead on lap six and drew away for his second victory of the new season, outdistancing runner-up Kaeden Cornell in a caution-free 20 laps."This track was picture-perfect," Wells said, praising the new dirt surface this season. "I haven't raced on something like this in a long time. The (MLRA) Spring Nationals was awesome last week, but I think this was better yet. It was a driver's track."Tucker Cox started up front and led the first two laps before Greenway paced the next three. The fourth-starting wells moved into second place on lap four and was able to pass Jim Greenway for the lead coming off turn two on lap six.An 11-time winner at Lucas Oil Speedway in 2023, Wells opened a two-second lead by lap 10. With the race remaining caution-free, Wells continued to roll and extend his margin over the field.The veteran from Aurora finished the race 3.7 seconds in front of Kaeden Cornell. Cox was third with JC Morton fourth and Kyle Graves fifth.While it was opening night for three of the classes, Wells posted his second feature win of the Lucas Oil Speedway season. He prevailed on April 6 on the Easter Bowl Enduro 150 program.Reed wins USRA Modifie feature in a runaway: Robbie Reed of Mexico, Mo., started up front and led all 20 laps, beating runner-up Dean Wille by 6.3 seconds in the Arctic Food Services USRA Modified feature.Reed and Middaugh started on the front row and Reed set the early pace, running off to a 2.5-second lead over Dean Wille by lap five with Middaugh in third.Reed, the Lucas Oil Speedway track champ in 2019 and 2020, had a full straightaway margin over Wille by lap 13 and, without any cautions, made it a rout.Reed said he was driving a new DK Chassis race car that was on the dirt for the first time.Wille was a solid second with Middaugh, the reigning track champ, settling for third. Chase Sigg wound up fourth and Jason Pursley was fifth.LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY UNOFFICIAL RESULTS (April 20, 2024)Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship SeriesClear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-ModsA Feature - 1. 66-Ryan Gillmore[2]; 2. 8S-Jon Sheets[3]; 3. 18-JC Morton[6]; 4. 1B-Bobby Williams[4]; 5. 7L-Trevor Drake[10]; 6. 99T-Eric Turner[12]; 7. 11L-Logan Smith[9]; 8. 24L-Dakota Lowe[21]; 9. 24T-Ed Griggs[14]; 10. 94C-JT Carroll[18]; 11. 2-Quentin Taylor[5]; 12. 91-Jaylen Wettengel[17]; 13. 19-Tanner Kade[1]; 14. 24D-Donnie Fellers[11]; 15. 8SC-Clayton Smith[13]; 16. 27-Terry Williams[22]; 17. 711-TJ Yount[25]; 18.

    Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Busy Dayton Pursley looks for more success in 2024

    WHEATLAND, MO. (April 18, 2024) - Dayton Pursley grew up going to the races at Lucas Oil Speedway as his dad, long-time USRA Modified driver Jason Pursley, chased victories. So it was pretty special for Dayton when he won his first feature race at the speedway last summer."That meant a lot to me," Dayton Pursley said of his Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod victory last June. "I know from lap one through lap 20, I was the most nervous I'd ever been. I told myself every corner not to spin out, not to do anything wrong because JC Morton was closing on me. Just trying to run the best race I could."The 21-year-old from Hermitage is ready to chase more checkered flags this season, beginning with the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series opener on Saturday night. The B-Mods will headline the action with a special 25-lap, $750-to-win main event.It will be Public Telecommunicators Appreciation Night at the Races. In observation of National Public Telecommunicators Week, to show appreciation to the 911 dispatch agencies, all 911 dispatchers will be admitted FREE with ID or Badge. The Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models, Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars will join the B-Mods.Pursley also picked up a feature win at Midway Speedway as part of a solid 2023 season. He finished third in Lucas Oil Speedway points, behind track champion Bobby Williams and two-time champ Morton."It was a pretty good season," Pursley said. "I didn't get a lot of wins, but I got better with the car in my first year with it. I struggled early in the year, but the longer the season went the better I got."This season won't find Pursley chasing points, however, as his racing day job will keep him busy.As new crew chief for Brennon Willard on the Lucas Oil MLRA circuit, Pursley will be overseeing Willard's Capital chassis race car on weekends that the MLRA series is in action. That was supposed to have been the case this weekend, but MLRA action in Iowa was postponed by wet weather."Whenever Brennon doesn't race, I'm going to race my car," Pursley said. "Throughout the week, I'll go home to my dad's shop and work on my race car and get it ready. Other than that, I'm a full-time crew chief/tire guy for Brennon."Pursley got experience working on Late Models a couple of years ago doing tire prep for Earl Pearson Jr. He sees it as a great way to spread his education of what it takes to build and maintain a full-time racing program.What he learns on the Late Models doesn't directly help in prepping a B-Mod, but he said there are some things that will be a benefit in his planned move to a USRA Modified a year from now. But overall, he's enjoying the Late Model knowledge he's picking up in a crew chief role."It really has made my knowledge for the race car a lot better. I've learned so much already and it's only April," Pursley said. I'm working on shocks and the actual set-up of the race car. I think it will help me with my own racing career and then also helping my dad and uncle (Donnie Fellers). My knowledge is a lot more than it was four months ago."While he won't race weekly in 2024, Pursley said he has high hopes for making a splash in his Skyrocket Chassis at Wheatland and other speedways."I'm gonna try to go to the bigger money races or go to Lucas and support them," Pursley said. "The more seat time a get and the more tracks I can say I raced at, the better it will be."Team sponsors include CPD Racing Shocks, Earl-F Electric, DF Safety Solutions, Tom Campbell Racing, Loto Lifts, DP Race Bodies, E3 Spark Plugs, Fast Shafts by Axle Exchange, Icon Race Graphics, Skyrocket Chassis, Balanced Speed and Dayton Pursley Racing.POWRi Super Stocks added to pair of programs: Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton has announced that the POWRi Super Stocks have been added as a special guest class to Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series programs on June 15 and July 27.

    Davenport wires field to complete MLRA Spring Nationals sweep at Lucas Oil Speedway

    WHEATLAND, MO. (April 13, 2024) - Jonathan Davenport lived up to his nickname of "Superman" once again on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway, completing a dominating weekend sweep of the 11th annual MLRA Spring Nationals Presented by Arizona Sport Shirts.One night after leading all 40 laps to take home a $7,000 prize, Davenport paced all 60 circuits to once again outdistance Ricky Thornton Jr., and take home the $20,000 check.After winning five times at Lucas Oil Speedway in 2023, the Blairsville, Ga., driver is two-for-two this season after beating Thornton by 4.23 seconds for his latest triumph in south-central Missouri."We got a good starting spot from qualifying," Davenport said. "My guys have been doing a great job. We were so good in that heat race, we were afraid to change anything. We over-adjusted last night. We did finally make some changes there and i don't know if they were the right ones, we it sure made it easier to drive. I could maneuver very well. The car was really good."Just as he did a night earlier, Davenport sprinted to the lead at the start from his front-row starting position. He opened a 3.1-second lead just six laps in over Mason Zeigler with Thornton Jr. running third. By lap 12, Davenport caught lapped traffic and that allowed Zeigler to shave a half-second off his lead. It didn't take Davenport long to stretch his command back out to 4.07 seconds by lap 20 as Thornton moved into the runner-up spot.The long green-flag run from the start continued and Davenport threatened to make it a complete runaway as his lead hit 4.8 seconds by lap 25. That's when the first caution flew as Chris Simpson slowed on the track with a flat tire.Davenport rolled from the restart and needed just five laps to re-open a 1.5-second lead over Thornton with Garrett Alberson third and Zeigler fourth. His margin was 2.1 seconds when the race's second caution appeared on lap 35 after Matt Johnson's spin in turn four.It took only three laps after the restart for the next caution, with the top four unchanged. However, Mike Marlar continued an impressive march, going from 21st and into the fifth by lap 38 when a five-car pileup in turn three brought out the red to clean up the debris.When action resumed, it was more of the same with Davenport using the high groove to quickly open a two-second lead over Thornton by lap 43. Marlar continued to ascend using the extreme low line, passing Alberson for third on lap 46 and 2.5 seconds behind the leader.The race remained caution-free the rest of the way and that was all Davenport needed to weave his way through lapped traffic all the way to the checkers.Thornton held off Alberson for second with Marlar slipping to fourth in the final laps. Zeigler settled for fifth and reigning MLRA champ Chad Simpson was sixth for the second straight night.Davenport said he didn't change his driving approach after the cautions wiped out his sizeable leads, but he definitely kept an eye on the video board to see who was behind him."I got into a pretty good rhythm there and the biggest thing that won me the race was through lapped cars," Davenport said. "I tried not to get complacent and get behind one. Even if it was the wrong line, I tried to keep my momentum up and try to pass them in the next corner."I knew those guys were right on me. Ricky's been really good and Garrett was coming up through there."Thornton said he thought the final caution would provide him a chance to see how he matched up with Davenport after losing to him at the finish by just over a second on Friday night."The one yellow came out and I thought I could at least see how comparable I am to him and he just drove off," Thornton said. "That's why we're here. We need to get better. We'll keep working."Hopefully when we come back here for the Show-Me (May 23-25) we can finish a little better in the heat race. That's a big thing here."Dustin Hodges posted the fastest qualifying lap at 14.788 seconds out of Group A, while Davenport set fast time in Group B at 14.873. They both won their heats to secure front-row starting positions.Poe wins POWRi Super Stocks feature: Aaron Poe of Knob Noster emerged a narrow winner after a tight battle over the final 14 laps to earn the POWRi Super Stocks feature win.Ted Welschmeyer took the lead at the start over Friday-night winner Taylor Carver. Those two were side-by-side for the lead when a lap-six caution flew.Poe powered from third to the lead on the restart on lap seven. He and Welschmeyer battled it out from there with Poe riding the high groove and Welschmeyer the low side. That's how they stayed until the finish, with Poe, the reigning POWRi Super Stocks national champ, winning by .578 seconds.Afterward, Welschmeyer's car failed technical inspection. Brian Brown was elevated to second with Carver third, Derek Brown fourth and Derek Henson fifth.Clevenger rallies late to win SMVR feature: Damen Clevenger rallied in the final half of the Show-Me Vintage Racers main event to come away with the feature win over Friday-night winner Brandon Jordan.John Martin started on the pole and sprinted to the lead for the start, opening a two-second margin over Bryant Moyer by lap seven. Clevenger, who started seventh, moved into second by lap nine when a caution slowed the field.Jordan, re-starting fifth after beginning the race 14th, rolled into the lead on lap 11. He and Clevenger raced side-by-side over the next two laps with Clevenger forging into the lead with one to go.Clevenger was able to hang on to beat Jordan by .275 seconds for his third career SMVR win at Lucas Oil Speedway."It helped me catch the lead car," Clevenger said of the caution. "The track was tacky and fast, especially down on the bottom once we got down there. That's where we ran them down at. It was a good, close race."Don Marrs wound up third with Jim Thorne fourth and David Isaacs fifth.LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY UNOFFICIAL RESULTS (April 13, 2024)11th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Spring NationalsLucas Oil MLRA Late ModelsA Feature - 1. 49-Jonathan Davenport[2]; 2. 20RT-Ricky Thornton Jr[6]; 3. 58-Garrett Alberson[13]; 4. 157-Mike Marlar[21]; 5. 25Z-Mason Zeigler[4]; 6. 25-Chad Simpson[7]; 7. 32S-Chris Simpson[20]; 8. 18D-Daulton Wilson[19]; 9. 49W-Justin Wells[3]; 10. 11G-Gordy Gundaker[9]; 11. 29-Rodney Sanders[15]; 12. 25J-Tony Jackson Jr[25]; 13. 46-Earl Pearson Jr[16]; 14. 36-Logan Martin[10]; 15. 8-Dillon McCowan[8]; 16. 76-Blair Nothdurft[14]; 17. 15D-Justin Duty[24]; 18. 11T-Trevor Gundaker[23]; 19. 1X-Matt Johnson[22]; 20. 11-Jeff Herzog[11]; 21. 78S-Steve Stultz[26]; 22. 1XM-Aaron Marrant[18]; 23.

    Davenport does it again at Lucas Oil Speedway, capturing 11th annual MLRA Spring Nationals opener

    WHEATLAND, MO. (April 12, 2024) - Another season meant another trip to victory lane at Lucas Oil Speedway for Jonathan Davenport.The Blairsville, Ga., driver led all 40 laps Friday night and withstood a late charge from Ricky Thornton Jr., to capture the Night One feature at the 11th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Spring Nationals Presented by Arizona Sport Shirts.Davenport beat Thornton by 1.02 seconds to earn $7,000 in the MLRA season opener. This after winning four Lucas Oil MLRA or Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series features at Lucas Oil Speedway in 2024, plus the SRX Series main event here."I don't know, this place just fits me," Davenport said of his success on the Wheatland dirt. "It constantly changes and gives us all a curve ball for sure. It feels good to come back after that special win the SRX Series. That was definitely cool."I just have to thank my guys for all they do for me and thank Longhorn. This is a brand new car. All the guys back at the shop worked hard on this thing."A total of 44 Late Models were on hand for Night One of the Spring Nationals with 117 total entries in four divisions checking into the pits.The stakes will be even higher on Saturday night with $20,000 on the line for the Lucas Oil MLRA 60-lap feature win."Thanks to all the fans for coming out," Davenport said, urging the fans to bring some friends for Saturday's finale. "We'll see if we can get another one."Davenport grabbed the lead at the start and opened a 1.5-second lead over Mason Zeigler four laps in when the first caution came out as Matt Johnson slowed in turn four. Garrett Smith got around Zeigler on the restart, but another yellow flew on lap six.A debris caution on lap nine, the race's third yellow, again halted Davenport's momentum as Smith, Zeigler and Tony Jackson Jr. gave chase.Finally getting an extended green-flag run, Davenport used the clean air to open a 2.4-second lead over Smith by lap 20, the event's midpoint. Meanwhile, Thornton rallied from his seventh-starting spot into third by lap 24 as he got around Zeigler.One lap later, Smith hit the wall exiting turn four and rolled to a stop to bring out caution No. 4. That erased Davenport's 2.6-second lead over Thornton, with Zeigler third and Jackson fourth.Davenport quickly moved away after the restart to lead by 1.9 seconds by lap 30 as Thornton was fighting off Zeigler for second. But Thornton started cutting into the margin as Davenport caught lapped traffic with seven laps remaining.Thornton made a final try on the final lap, diving low into turns three and four, but "Superman" was able to hang on by about five car lengths for the victory.Zeigler finished third with Garrett Alberson fourth and Jackson winding up fifth."You never know who is coming from behind," Davenport said of the late going. "Ricky didn't qualify very well and I knew he'd be coming up through there, plus there were several other cars that didn't get a good qualifying lap in."That's one thing about Wheatland. If you don't like the race track, just wait a minute because it's going to change. But I didn't get quite as slick tonight as I thought it would. The top stayed there longer than I thought it would."Thornton said the poor qualifying effort, which relegated him to seventh at the start, was too much to overcome."Early in the night we were about a second off the pace to these guys," Thornton said. "We'll see if we can get a little better early in the night and start a little farther forward. But once the track slowed down, our car really came to us."Congrats to J.D. His stuff looked really good and he was kind of on cruise control. Hopefully we can get a little better."The overall fast qualifier was Davenport, who paced Group B with a lap of 14.802 seconds. He went on to win his feature to earn a starting spot on the front row.Reigning MLRA champion Chad Simpson of Mount Vernon, Iowa, started sixth and finished sixth in the first series action of the season. Mike Marlar charged from 15th to finish seventh.POWRi Super Stocks win goes to Carver: Taylor Carver of Lockesburg, Ark., led all 20 laps for the POWRi Super Stocks feature win, holding off Ted Welschmeyer.Carver started third, but was able to grab the lead on lap one. After two cautions slowed the early action, Carver opened a 1.5-second lead over Welschmeyer who drove around Brian Brown on lap four to get into second.Carver caught lapped traffic by the midway point on lap 10 when the event's third caution bunch the field. Three more yellow flags over the next five laps prevented the leader from getting away.On final caution with two laps to go gave Welschmeyer one more chance, but Carver was up to the challenge and finished his flawless run. He prevailed by 1.07 seconds.Ed Griggs rallied from 13th to finish third with Kenny Carroll fourth and Brian Brown fifth.Jordan earns Show-Me Vintage Racers victory: Brandon Jordan of Pineville, Mo., took over the lead from pole-starting at the start and went on to capture the 15-lap Show-Me Vintage Racers feature. Jordan, who started outside of row one, won by 2.6 seconds.A caution with five laps remaining erased a three-second lead, but Jordan regrouped as action went green and cruised to the finish.Jordan dedicated the victory to his youngest granddaughter P.J. who was recently diagnosed with autism."A lot of these kids are bullied and ridiculed and I think people need to make themselves aware that their mind just works a little differently," Jordan said. "A lot of the smartest people in the world also have autism. I'm so happy I could get this win. I wish they could have been here tonight."Jim Thorne finished third with Bryant Moyer fourth and Rodney Ashworth coming home in fifth.Lewis scores Legends win: Second-starting Jackson Lewis took the lead on lap four and led the rest of the way to grab the 15-lap Legends feature victory.Lewis, of Lakeview, Minn., beat Michael Weber by 1.6 seconds for the victory with Chance Gilbert finishing third, Jay Reynolds fourth and early leader and pole-starter Griffin McGrath fifth.LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY UNOFFICIAL RESULTS (April 12, 2024)11th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Spring NationalsLucas Oil MLRA Late ModelsA Feature - 1. 49-Jonathan Davenport[2]; 2. 20RT-Ricky Thornton Jr[7]; 3. 25Z-Mason Zeigler[3]; 4. 58-Garrett Alberson[4]; 5. 25-Tony Jackson Jr[5]; 6. 25S-Chad Simpson[6]; 7. 157-Mike Marlar[15]; 8. 49W-Justin Wells[14]; 9. 15-Justin Duty[23]; 10. 32S-Chris Simpson[10]; 11. 11-Jeff Herzog[12]; 12. 11T-Trevor Gundaker[22]; 13. 36-Logan Martin[9]; 14. 7W-Cole Wells[21]; 15. 22H-Dustin Hodges[11]; 16.

    Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Racing veteran Vanzandt eager to take his MLRA shot

    WHEATLAND, MO. (April 10, 2024) - One of the newcomers on the Lucas Oil MLRA series in 2024 probably has more lifetime laps to his credit that most of his opposition. Certainly, Jimmy Vanzandt has seen and done about all there is during a racing career of more than four decades.The Springfield-based driver has competed on dirt and pavement over the years and even gave the MLRA a brief whirl more than 20 years ago. In recent seasons, he's been a regular on the Cash Money Late Model Dirt Series."I decided after last year that I wanted to do something different and I was running out of years to do it," Vanzandt said. "I thought I would try the MLRA. I ran it years ago, back when Kenny Essary had it. So I thought I'd try it. I know I'm crazy, because these guys are super fast."If I can make the show, I'll be happy. But I'm gonna have fun either way."Vanzandt, who turns 63 in about a week, plans to hit MLRA races within an eight-hour radius from home. It begins this Friday and Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway for the 11th annual MLRA Spring Nationals Presented by Arizona Sport Shirts.The doublelheader begins on Friday when the MLRA standouts compete for a $7,000 feature win. The stakes are even higher on Saturday with the feature winner collecting $20,000.Vanzandt said he decided the time was right to chase one of his remaining racing dreams and see how he stacks up against some of the best in the business."I've never got the opportunity to do this before," Vanzandt said. "I'm probably not gonna go out and win races, but I'm gonna give it my all. Who knows? We'll see what happens. I'm gonna make as many shows as I can."If we do really good, it's hard to say how many races I[ll run. If you're doing good, you can sometimes get resources you couldn't come up with before."Vanzandt wound up fifth in Cash Money points a year ago after finishing third in the 2023 standings. He has a new Longhorn chassis and Roush-Yates motor with tech and set-up support from Billy Moyer Jr., who has moved from the driver's seat into a consulting role. Moyer Jr. helped Vanzandt dial the car in during a test session last week at Batesville, Ark.Vanzandt's career began about 47 years ago at the Springfield Fairgrounds. He's driven Bombers, Street Stocks, Modifieds and Sportsman cars over the years, in addition to the Late Model on pavement and dirt. He was a consistent contender on the asphalt at Lebanon I-44 Speedway for several years before returning to dirt about five years ago."The dirt is a lot more fun," Vanzandt said. "Just the people. It's a different world. Everybody's friendly and can't wait to help you, it seems like. I've got a lot of buddies with tractor trailer rigs that we buddy up with. They don't treat me different than anybody else does."With the dirt there's a lot more cleaning, a lot more maintenance. You have to stay up on everything."Helping him stay up with maintenance are crew members Perry "P Dog" Burton and Mark Reynolds. Team sponsors include Dirtworx General Contracting, Mossy Oak Properties, Double Down Asphalt, Hauter Fireworks, Pappy's BBQ, Carrie's Place, Gunny's Mill, Queen City Bail Bonds, Vanzandt's Affordable Auto Repair and Simpson Performance Products."We're just going to go out and try to make shows and have as much fun as we can," Vanzandt said.The MLRA season was scheduled to open last weekend with the Winter Meltdown at Tri-City Speedway, but that event was canceled due to wet grounds from heavy rain earlier in the week.Also in action Friday will be the POWRi Super Stocks running for $500 to win with the Show-Me Vintage Racers and Legends will be racing. On Saturday, the POWRi Super Stocks will be in action racing for $1,000 to win with the SMVR Show-Me Vintage Racers also on the program.POWRi Super Stocks, Legends and SMVR drivers are asked to fill out a MyRacePass driver profile sheet online to help the announcers. This weekend's action will be shown on Flo Racing and MAVTV and an updated profile info form would help immensely.A practice session will be held for all competitors racing this weekend will be held on Thursday night from 6-9 p.m. Pit passes are $30 with grandstand admission free. Limited concessions will be available on the pit side.The first 500 fans through the grandstand gate on Saturday will receive a free 2024 Lucas Oil Speedway schedule magnet courtesy City Magnet.Pit gates open at 4 p.m. and grandstands at 5 both days, with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.Friday admission:Advance discount tickets online only (13 and up) - $22Adults (13 and up) - $25Seniors (62 and up)/Military - $22Youth (ages 6-12) - $10Kids (5 and under) - FREEFamily pass - $60Pit pass - $40Saturday admission:Advance discount tickets online only (13 and up) - $27Adults (13 and up) - $30Seniors (62 and up)/Military - $27Youth (ages 6-12) - $10Kids (5 and under) - FREEFamily pass - $70Pit pass - $45For ticket information about any event on the 2024 Lucas Oil Speedway schedule, fans can contact Admissions Director Nichole McMillan at (417) 295-6043 or via email at nmcmillan@lucasoilspeedway.com for more information about any event on the 2024 Lucas Oil Speedway scheduled.CONTACT:Danny LortonLucas Oil Speedway General ManagerOffice: (417) 282-5984 DLorton@lucasoilspeedway.com# # #Complete Lucas Oil Speedway event information, archived race recaps, previews and driver features, along with ticket information and schedules can be found by visiting LucasOilSpeedway.com.Lucas Oil Speedway is located at Highways 83 and 54 in Wheatland, Missouri.

    MLRA HEADS TO LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY FOR 11TH ANNUAL "SPRING NATIONALS"

    Wheatland, Missouri (April 9, 2024) - The Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) will kick off their 2024 season in record breaking fashion this weekend, when the series invades the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri for the 11th Annual MLRA "Spring Nationals" Presented by Arizona Sport Shirts.Two complete nights of racing action awaits what is expected to be a star-studded field of racers, all competing for their share of the record purse which will exceed $90,000 in total for the two-day event. Drivers will have an opportunity to get dialed in on Thursday night April 11th with an open practice session at the "Diamond of Dirt Tracks" from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM.The first official green flag of the season will drop on Friday night April 12th with racers battling for a $7,000 top prize and the upper hand in being the first to secure the Midwest Sheet Metal Point Leader Spoiler for the season. Saturday night will feature the biggest pay out in MLRA Spring Nationals history, with the winner driving away with $20,000. All drivers making the weekend finale on Saturday will earn a minimum of $1,000.Prior to the start of Saturday nights "A" Main, race teams and officials will take part in a special on track ceremony honoring the life and contributions of long time MLRA series photographer and official Lloyd Collins, who recently passed following a brief battle with cancer. Collins was greatly respected and well known all around the pits from the racers and teams to his fellow photographers. One driver who is looking to get off to a quick start this weekend is the MLRA's defending Sunoco Race Fuels "Rookie of the Year" winner Dillon McCowan of Urbana, MO. The now 20-year-old jumped onto the late model scene one year ago after a successful run in the USRA Modified ranks, where he snagged a pair of track championships at the Lucas Oil Speedway.The driver of the Scott Bailey powered Longhorn has already competed just shy of twenty nights in 2024 following the early season "Speedweeks" tour and feels it has prepared him and made him better for the MLRA season ahead. "Starting the season off down in Florida I think helped us a lot, it kinda kick started our year. Hopefully we can take what we have learned from the races we ran already this year and carry that off into the MLRA season.""We are going to try and chase after the championship again this year and run the full season with the MLRA. Coming off last year we had a really great season. It could have went a little bit better, but we had a couple of really strong finishes and we were blessed with how good we did last year, so hopefully we can transition that off into this year."Dillon McCowan # 8 Photo Credit: Lloyd Collins FastTrack PhotosIn 2023 McCowan parked his Sonic # 8 on the MLRA podium with third place finishes in two of the last three series events. More impressive for the rookie was his ability to contend with the best in the business in almost every event at the Lucas Oil Speedway, as he logged 5 top ten finishes in 7 starts, which included a 6th place finish in the Show-Me 100.For the upcoming season, McCowan has also brought on board a new crew chief in Tony Rogers. "He said he was ready to get back into the late model business, so we are excited to have him with us. We have been around each other for a long time, you know the whole team has, and we thought it would be a really good fit to have him on board," noted McCowan. Rogers spent numerous years turning wrenches for 2016 MLRA champion Jesse Stovall, and most recently worked in the modified ranks for Terry Phillips Racing.Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series regulars Ricky Thornton Jr. and Jonathan Davenport both made stops in MLRA victory lane one season ago during the Spring Nationals weekend. Now with a handful of nights of getting to race door to door with drivers of that caliber, McCowan is confident that added experience will begin to pay dividends for his team. "It's crazy to get to go out there and run sometimes in the front with the best in the business, and the idols I've looked up to and wanted to race with for a long time. Getting out there and being with them and learning from them, you know just trying to pick up on the little things that they do that will get me going faster every time I'm out there."With this weekend being just the beginning of a long 25 race MLRA schedule for McCowan and his MLRA counterparts, it will be key for everyone to get off to a good start at a track that hosts ten points events in determining the season champion. "The last thing we want is to leave the home track having to play catch-up," he noted. "Hopefully we can run upfront and carry that speed off into this year, and I think if we can have a good finish, we all will be really happy with that for sure. If you can have a good run and get out front it can really help to set up the whole season."Lucas Oil Speedway: Wheatland, MO (Practice Nite)--Thursday 4/11/24Hot Lap/Practice - 6:00 PM - 9:00 PMPit Passes: $30, Grandstand: FREEWebsite: www.LucasOilSpeedway.comLucas Oil Speedway: Wheatland, MO (Race Day Info)--Friday 4/12/24Pit Gates: 4:00 PM, Grandstands 5:00 PMRacing: Hot Laps - 6:30 PM, Racing - 7:05 PMAdmission: Adults (13+) $25, Seniors (62+)/Military $22, Youth (6-12) $10, Kids (5 & Under) FREE, Family Pass $60, Pit Pass $40Support Classes: POWRi Super Stocks, Legends, SMVR Show-Me Vintage RacersLucas Oil Speedway: Wheatland, MO (Race Day Info)--Saturday 4/13/24Pit Gates: 4:00 PM, Grandstands 5:00 PMRacing: Hot Laps - 6:30 PM, Racing - 7:05 PMAdmission: Adults (13+) $30, Seniors (62+)/Military $27, Youth (6-12) $10, Kids (5 & Under) FREE, Family Pass $70, Pit Pass $40Support Classes: POWRi Super Stocks, & SMVR Show-Me Vintage Racers For all of the latest news and information, including the full 2024 schedule, fans are encouraged to visit the series website at www.MLRARacing.com.**2024 MLRA WINNERS CIRCLE PROGRAM**Once again in 2024 the MLRA will continue it's "Winners Circle Program" by awarding $200 in appearance money to the top (10) in points at each venue with perfect attendance, in addition to purse money earned.

    Tattershell captures Easter Bowl Enduro 150 as Lucas Oil Speedway opens season

    WHEATLAND, MO. (April 6, 2024) - In order to capture the Easter Bowl Enduro 150 on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway, it took avoiding on-track mayhem and mechanical malfunction while also getting a passing grade in the post-race trip to the tech building.Will Tattershell of Bois D'Arc, Mo., was able to meet all three of those standards. As a result, despite taking the checkered flag in second place, Tattershell came away the $1,500 first prize in the headliner of Lucas Oil Speedway's season-opening program.Other feature winners included Logan Roark (POWRi Midwest Mods), Justin Wells (POWRi Hermitage Lumber Late Models) and Darin Porter (POWRi Pure Stocks). A total of 95 cars checked into the pits in the four divisions.The finale was the third annual marathon and it appeared that Derrek Wilson of Chanute, Kan., was the winner of the race that took one hour and four minutes to complete. Wilson took the lead with 45 laps remaining and held it to the finish, taking an apparent win over Tatterhsell by about a straightaway's margin.But Wilson was disqualified afterward when his car failed post-race inspection.Kevin Perkins of Sedalia took the lead on lap 47 and built an 11.6-second lead by lap 60. Alex Thomas cut the gap to just under six seconds when Perkins had a flat right-front tire on lap 84 and had to pull off, giving the lead to Thomas.Wilson was 9.1 seconds behind when Perkins went off, but he began to chase down Thomas. He caught him on lap 105, taking the lead in turn two. Tattershell was in third, 10 seconds behind Thomas as the only other car on the lead lap at that point.Wilson's lead was 4.7 seconds by lap 120 with Tattershell 7.2 behind the leader as the finish began to come into focus. Thomas, who set the early pace as he started on the pole, began to fade by lap 130 and surrendered the runner-up position to Tattershell with 20 to go. Wilson maintained his lead as the laps continued to click away.Tattershell kept cutting into the deficit, drawing within 4.5 seconds of Wilson with 10 laps to go. But Wilson cleared lapped traffic and was able to maintain his lead at just over four seconds with five remaining.Wilson, with earlier Enduro wins this season at Springfield Raceway and 81 Speedway, hung on from there and took the checkers 6.3 seconds clear of Tattershell.Bill Polzin of Creighton, Mo., officially wound up second with Thomas, of Macks Creek taking third followed by Blake Davidson and Jet Herrick.Roark earns Midwest Mods win: Logan Roark made the winning pass with five laps remaining and went on to earn the POWRi Midwest Mods feature victory in a race plagued by multiple early cautions.Jacob Hall started third and found his way into the lead on lap two, taking over from pole-starting Jacob Long. Roark, who started fifth, moved into the runner-up spot by last three and worked in the inside line to try and get around the leader.Finally getting some consistent green-flag laps after six cautions before five official laps were completed, Roark pulled alongside Hall on lap 15 and was able to get by for the lead.Roark, of Henley, Mo., held on from there. He worked through lapped traffic and finished .982 seconds in front of Hall. It was Roark's second feature win in two nights as he prevailed at Midway Speedway on Friday."I was just trying to hit my marks every lap," Roark said of his strategy as he waited for some green-flag laps and the winning move. "I knew he had a good hot rod. Wow, what a race."Steve Muilenburg rallied from 10th to third with Pete Richardson winding up fourth and Scott Campbell was fifth.Justin Wells rolls in Late Models: The POWRi Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature winner was a familiar face. Justin Wells, who captured 11 feature wins last season at Lucas Oil Speedway, started the new season with a convincing triumph.Wells, of Aurora, beat Payton Looney by 2.8 seconds at the finish. He led all 25 laps with only two cautions delaying his march to victory lane and the $1,000 first prize."You could add both the ages of the second and third place (drivers) and they're not my age," Wells said with a laugh.Justin Wells outgunned Cole Wells at the start and opened a 2.4-second lead by lap six, when the race's first caution flew. When action resumed, Payton Looney needed just two laps to move around Cole Wells for second.Catching the elder Wells was another matter. Justin Wells poured it on, opening a 3.3-second lead by lap 14 when a second caution wiped out the big lead with 11 to go.Wells gradually pulled away after the restart as the race stayed caution-free and rolled to the win over Looney, a former Show-Me 100 winner who was driving for Moon Brothers Racing.Tyler Kuykendall finished third with Jim Greenway fourth and Justin Russell fifth.Porter wires field in Pure Stocks: Darin Porter of California, Mo., led all 20 laps for the POWRi Pure Stocks feature victory.Porter started on the pole with Trevor Wilson to his outside and they ran 1-2 through the early portion with Robbie Jones in third. Porter had a 1.4-second lead at the midway point on lap 10 and his lead surpassed two seconds just two laps later.Without a caution over the final 15 laps to slow him down, the defending POWRi Pure Stocks national points champion kept rolling and beat Wilson by 3.6 seconds at the finish.Justin Pike wound up in third with Grayon McKinney fourth and Chris Tonoli in fifth.LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY UNOFFICIAL RESULTS (April 6, 2024)Easter Bowl Enduro 150A Feature - 1. 81WT-Will Tattershell[9]; 2. 11A-Bill Polzin[6]; 3. 42-Alex Thomas[1]; 4. 8B-Blake Davidson[39]; 5. 12-Jet Herrick[19]; 6. 44D-harold Hawk[35]; 7. 3P-Kevin Perkins[7]; 8. 10-Josh Stringer[10]; 9. 723-Dustin McNamara[23]; 10. 2T-Tom Lampe[27]; 11. 07-Jordan Goddard[29]; 12. 85-Nicholas Fritch[11]; 13.
