  BRADEN CHIARAMONTE RECORDS HIS BEST 360 WINGED FINISH FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 24 HOURS

  (El Cajon, CA, May 15) Last Friday night at the Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, California, Braden Chiaramonte notched a third-place finish in the 25-lap main event. It was his best-ever result in a winged 360 race. Twenty-four hours later at the Placerville Speedway, he went one step better when he placed second in the winged 360, 25-lap main event. Thirty-two cars showed up for the "Mother's Day Madness" race on the famous ¼ mile, red clay Placerville Speedway. As usual, Chiaramonte was on his game from the start. In qualifying, he recorded a sizzling lap of 11.113 in the Tiner/Hirst-owned Slade Precision Shocks/Larry Davis Farms/System 1 Pro Ignition #94TH. That was good enough for the second fastest time in the 16-car group "B." Being the fastest in group "B" meant the El Cajon, California driver, would start fourth in the fourth, eight-car, eight-lap heat race. Once the green flag dropped, "Spare Change" was part of an exciting first lap. He initially slipped back to fourth. Going into turn three, the third-place car parked on the low line. That opened up a huge window for Chiaramonte to race around the outside. As he started to go past, the slowing car got clobbered by another driver attempting to slice his way through on the inside. That collision shot the car Chiaramonte was trying to pass straight up the track and nearly into him. Fortunately, Chiaramonte got the #94TH slowed down and only had minimal contact. Chiaramonte's quick reflexes prevented what could have been a disaster. With that behind him, he got right back to work. By the time the first lap ended, he was up to fourth. Down the back chute on lap two, he picked off another car and was up to third. Even though he was third, he was far behind the two first-place cars. They had established a huge advantage over the rest of the field due to the first-lap chaos. With only six laps to go on the small track, Chiaramonte did not have time to catch the lead duo and finished third. That was good enough to directly transfer him into the main event. After a B main that looked like a bad horror flick, the A main went relatively smoothly. Chiaramonte started the 25-lap finale inside the second row in third. At the end of the first circuit, he was fourth. A picture-perfect slider in turn four on the second lap saw him advance to third. He quickly pulled away from that car and set his aim on the driver in second. Chiaramonte remained third until the 18th lap when he threw another immaculate slider in turn 4 to move up to second. He pulled that move off just in time as seconds later, a car slid to a stop in turn four. That brought out a yellow flag. The good news was, the caution allowed Chiaramonte to move directly to the leader's rear for the restart. The bad news was that the leader was Andy Forsberg. The 47-year-old has nine Placerville track championships and was seeking his 70th win on the track. Once the race resumed, Chiaramonte attempted to stay close to the Placerville legend. They pulled away from the remainder of the field. Forsberg eventually moved away from his teen pursuer. With four laps remaining, the wily veteran had a 1.666 lead, but Chiaramonte started coming on. He was closing in fast on the race-long leader but ran out of laps. When the checkered flag waved, he had cut the leader's advantage down to 0.622. "This track has not had my luck for sure," Chiaramonte told the appreciative crowd after the exciting race. "I have went off one (turn one) too many times. Just to come here and have speed all night and finish top three feels really good. I started getting better in three and four and started to catch him a little bit but just ran out of laps. We were really good. Thank you to Kyle, Steven, Tom, and everyone for helping me, working on this car, and getting me where I am. Kyle is a really good coach and Steven is really good on the wrenches. So, I just have to do my job." For the second night in a row, Chiaramonte received praise from the winner after the race ended. "You can barely beat the Tiner/Hirst cars," Forsberg announced to the fans at the end of the night. "This kid has raced like 10 times (winged 360s) and I have driven for 100 years and I can barely beat him. These kart kids and micro kids jump into sprint cars and they are so fast right away." For the next two weeks, Chiaramonte will be visiting a track that will be new to him. It is the Marysville Speedway which is located in Northeast California. This week he will be contesting a 360 winged race to get in some laps for next week's Sprint Car Challenge Tour show. Advance tickets are available at https://www.eventsprout.com/event/marysville-raceway-2024. Adult tickets are $17.00. For seniors 62+, military (with id) and juniors (12-15) it is $15.00.

Spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM with racing at 7:00. Chiaramonte will finish the month of May on Friday the 31st when the Sprint Car Challenge Tour visits Placerville.

  Andy Forsberg surges to 70th career Sprint Car win at Placerville Speedway

  Placerville, CA…Fans were treated to a tremendous night of racing during Mother's Day Madness at Placerville Speedway on Saturday. When all was said and done it was nine-time track champion Andy Forsberg in victory lane, after pocketing his 70th career Sprint Car win at the track. All four divisions displayed entertaining racing at the event, with fellow winners on the night including a first-time victor in Rod Oliver with the Mountain Democrat Ltd. Late Models, Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mike Miller with the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks. The 25-lap Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car feature was all about Forsberg, who turned back the clock and rode the cushion to perfection. The Auburn driver dominated things, much like he has over so many years at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds. The action behind him was marvelous however, with several drivers going at it and positions changing lap after lap. Jake Morgan of Fair Oaks looked impressive in the main event and moved into second on lap 11, making the pass of Jodie Robinson, who also looked solid in her Placerville return. As the race wound down 16-year-old Braden Chiaramonte climbed into second, while Placerville's own Shane Hopkins battled his way into third. Forsberg took the checkered flag over Chiaramonte, Hopkins, Morgan and Robinson in the top-five. Chiaramonte capped a strong weekend after finishing on the podium at Chico the previous night. Hopkins should also be commended for an excellent drive in the feature to earn a podium spot. Rounding out the top-10 were Bubba Decaires, Corbin Rueschenberg, Michael Faccinto, DJ Freitas and Tony Gomes. A total of 32 Sprint Cars competed at Mother's Day Madness. Isaiah Vasquez began the evening by earning the ADCO Driveline & Custom Exhaust Fast Time Award with a lap of 10.781. First-time winners are always a fun part of the program and that came to fruition last night, as Yuba City's Rod Oliver accepted his initial Placerville Speedway checkered flag. The long-time Ltd. Late Model driver led all 20-laps, but it didn't come easy as Lincoln's Dan Brown Jr. hounded him every step of the way. Previous event winner Anthony Slaney also made moves running the high-scary side of the bullring to close in on the lead duo. In the end it was a non-stop affair with Oliver claiming victory over Brown, Slaney, Tyler Lightfoot and Jay Norton. The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks gave the crowd on hand their definite monies worth with an absolute barn burner in the main event. Orangevale's Tommy Sturgeon has been impressive during the early campaign and led laps once again on Saturday. Side by Side racing was prevalent all throughout the field in what was a non-stop 20-lapper. Around the halfway point Tribute to Al Hinds winner Kevin Jinkerson blasted into the lead and held command until Nick Baldwin went upstairs, taking over the top-spot. Exceptionally close competition was seen right down to the wire. The five-time Placerville champ Baldwin brought home the triumph over Jinkerson, a very fast Tyler Lightfoot, Dan Jinkerson and Sturgeon in the top-five. The Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks also provided a wild main event that almost went non-stop as well. Multiple different leaders were seen with Mike Miller, Howard Miller, Austin Struthers and Thomas Jensen all fighting for the top-spot at times. H. Miller found himself out front following the midway point, but an exciting exchange occurred on lap 16 that saw M. Miller come out ahead. Mike Miller grabbed the checkered flag ahead of Howard Miller, Jensen, Luke Costa and Paige Miller. Placerville Speedway will take a couple weeks off before coming back with one of the biggest events all season. The two-night Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial weekend occurs on Friday and Saturday May 31st and June 1st. Opening night is headlined by the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour, while the NARC 410 Sprint Cars invade the track for the only time in 2024 during the finale. Both nights also showcase the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association.

  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.

  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.

  Trey Jacobs adds his name to the record books at Fremont Speedway; Sebetto wins thrilling 305 feature; Miller earns 2nd straight track victory

  FREMONT, Ohio - Trey Jacobs added his name to the family win list at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction on Ohio Truck Sales/Autokiniton Night, Saturday, May 11. He joins his father Dean, Uncle Kenny and Cousin Lee to have won sprint car features at "The Track That Action Built." The Wooster, Ohio driver grabbed the early lead in the 30-lap Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint feature, maintaining the point until a restart on lap nine. Sean Rayhall then took the point but Jacobs fought back and the pair waged an entertaining battle until Jacobs regained the top spot on lap 13. Jacobs began to pull away but a pair of cautions erased over three second leads. Californian Kalib Henry drove into second on lap 16 but could not keep pace with Jacobs despite the pair of cautions. A red with two laps to go set u a shoot-out but Jacobs hit his marks perfectly and drove to the win over Henry, 16th starter Zeth Sabo, Cale Thomas and Rayhall. Thomas' fourth place finish will keep him atop the point standings for the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads-Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group. "I needed this badly. I feel like I gave one away a hand full of years ago here…led until the last lap. We've come so close and honestly this year has been a complete struggle. Shit breaking…dumb stuff. Finally to get this win here means a ton. I love Fremont Speedway…this race track was bad ass tonight. It had a good top, bottom, good curb," said Jacobs in the Beaverdam Fleet Services Victory Lane. "I was good in open air at the beginning and when I caught those lapped cars I was getting tripped up in the curb and the one yellow after Sean got by was pretty timely. I saw my guys motion for me to try the bottom and I was able to go down there and it was really good. If I didn't make any mistakes and hold the bottom I'd be okay. I have to thank Jerry McClure and Jeff Weinberg for giving us the equipment to run and all our sponsors, Harbaugh Electronics, B&B Drain Service, Holmes Cheese Co., Smithville Manufacturing, Vib-Iso, Burgett Insurance, Brent Coffman Trucking, DJ's Aircraft Maintenance, Dac Vitamins and Minerals…everyone who has helped out…it's a real family operation here," added Jacobs. The Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature had fans on the edge of their seats. Zack Kramer led the opening lap but Seth Schneider charged into the lead on the second circuit only to surrender the point to Jamie Miller on lap six. Miller built up a second and half lead while Bryan Sebetto charged into second. A caution with seven laps to go put Sebetto on Miller's rear bumper and the pair didn't disappoint with Miller driving on the bottom and Sebetto ripping the cushion. The pair nearly touched battling for the lead several times with Sebetto finally getting by on lap 21. Miller fought back and regained the lead with just two laps to go. Racing into lapped traffic on the final lap, Sebetto and Miller split a lapped car making contact exiting turn four the drag race was on with Sebetto edging Miller by .058 seconds for his 26th career Fremont victory. Dustin Stroup, DJ Foos and Schneider rounded out the top five. Miller added to his lead in the points for the NAPA of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales with his runner-up finish. "Hats off to Jamie. He raced me hard but ran me clean. He left me room when I was coming off the top of turn four. It's things like that you remember. Some of these young kids don't understand that when you race someone with respect it comes around. Jamie raced me with respect and I have nothing but respect for what he's done and what that team has accomplished," said Sebetto beside his Sandusky Bay Remodeling, JLH General Contractor, Sandusky Bay RV Rentals, KH Suspension, Overwatch Prescition, Commercial Glazing Systems, NAPA of Fremont, Clay Keim, Depot Pizza, CA Kustoms backed #01. "We worked really, really hard this off-season with these cars. It's a brand new race car, one of Bubba Riehl's RCF Chassis that me Jamie (Miller) and Bubba's brother (Logan Riehl) are the only ones on them to best of my knowledge. Level built us a new motor over the winter.Kevin Schlachter has spent so much time and money on this race team for Seth (Schneider) and me to win," added Sebetto. Miller grabbed the lead on lap three and withstood several challenges from Keith Sorg before driving away to his second straight Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature win at Fremont. Miller, aboard the Ron Miller Race Cars, Fostoria Mod Shop backed #4M, earned his 47th career Fremont victory, placing him ninth on the track's all-time win list. "This thing just rolled the bottom so nice I just had to make sure I didn't mess up," said Miller.

  Mintz gets late race pass for 410 Attica win; Schlenk, Markham split late model victories; Miller comes to life for 305 win

  ATTICA, Ohio - Craig Mintz was able to maneuver his car anywhere he wanted on a fast Attica Raceway Park Friday, May 10 and it paid off for his 17th career 410 sprint car victory at "Ohio's Finest Racing" venue on Edward Jones Investments-Mike Neill financial advisor/American Powersports Night. The Gibsonburg, Ohio driver - a former Attica 410 sprint track champion - executed a perfect slider on race-long leader Greg Wilson to take the lead on lap 26 of the 30-lap Callie's Performance Products 410 Sprint feature and drove to the $4,000 win over Wilson, Cap Henry, Zeth Sabo and DJ Foos. Henry's third place run helps him close the gap in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads-Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group points as he looks to defending his series' title. "When the tires actually cooled down we got faster. We were really good for about three laps there. Three and four was just kind of hold your own at the top and if you could gain ground in one and two…which this race car could…that helped you get runs down the back stretch to do those sliders. Hats off to these guys, Chris, Rich, my dad, my wife and kids. We do this part time and we like to have fun," said Mintz beside his Real Geese Decoys, Modern Woodman of America, Seagate Sandblasting, Brown Family Construction, Linder's Speed Equipment, Bettsville Legion, DMI Racing, Keizer Wheels backed #09. The Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Models had a busy night at Attica Raceway Park. First a 25 lap make-up feature from last week was held that produced a bizarre and exciting finish. Rusty Schlenk led the first 20 laps but a radiator hose let go and put water down and second place challenger JR Gentry spun. Schlenk went pit side and Ashland, Ohio's Ryan Markham who had also been challenging up front, took the lead and held off a late race challenge from Kyle Moore and Jeff Babcock for his 24th career Attica win worth $3,000. "I knew my car was pretty good and we were right there on them. Sometimes you have to take what you can get," said Markham of his B&B Drain Service, Beer Barrel Drive Thru, After Burner Performance, Chuys Tacos & Margaritas, Monster Motors, Last Mango Soap Company, Backin the Barn, Boutique, Ocala Restaurant Supply, Mar Trucking, Schaeffers Racing Oil by Kevin Hill, TGR Performance sponsored #5M. In the night's regular late model feature Schlenk took the lead from Gentry on lap 14 and held off a late race charge from Moore who had spun on the opening lap and came from the tail. Gentry, Gregg Haskell and Devin Shiels rounded out the top five. It was Schlenk's 40th career win in the late models at Attica. "We have a cooling problem obviously. We blew a radiator hose in the first feature. I was trying to baby it and I was trying to run around there half-throttle but Gentry was there and I over-heated it and blew the hose. That was a $3,000 loss for an $18 part. I was watching the board and I knew Kyle Moore was coming….he's been very good competition. We were running hot again so I wasn't trying to push it," said Schlenk beside his Buckeye Concrete Coatings, Terry Hendricks Auto Group, Velocita USA, Dominator Race Products, Tom Finch Auto, Domination Race Cars, All Star Performance backed #91. The Fremont Fence 305 Sprints also put on a fantastic feature event. Dustin Stroup grabbed the lead at the drop of the green and held the point for nine laps before John Ivy took over. Ivy continued to slice through traffic, leading until lap 20 when defending track champion Jamie Miller came to life.

  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.

  TYLER ERB SCORES MLRA WIN IN "CINCO DE MAYO 40" AT ADAMS COUNTY SPEEDWAY (IL)

  Wheatland, MO (May 5, 2024) - The Lucas Oil MLRA's return to the Adams County Speedway in Quincy, IL on Sunday night proved to be worth the wait, as Tyler Erb raced to a thrilling first career win under the Lucas Oil MLRA banner in the "Cinco de Mayo 40". A total of 30 drivers signed in for the third MLRA event of 2023 with Erb starting his night off in style by grabbing the My Race Pass "Overall Fast Time" Award with a lap of 12.647 seconds. Erb would go on to capture the first heat race of the night putting him on the pole for the 40 lapper. Other head race wins were claimed by Chad Simpson, Earl Pearson Jr., and Derrick Stewart. Erb jumped to the early race lead, which proved to be short lived as the nights first of four cautions waved on lap three for two time series champion Tony Jackson Jr. as he slowed on the speedway with a flat tire. Jackson would return and rally for a 13th place finish. After another quick spin caution for Sunoco Rookie of the year driver Aaron Marrant, the field would go green for another six laps with Erb at the point over Pearson and a high side hustling Derrick Stewart. Justin Duty slipped off the track in turn three and four while running inside the top ten on lap nine bringing out the third caution of the night. With Erb in control, Stewart would take the second spot away from Pearson momentarily, but the Ainsworth, IA driver could never mount a serious charge for the top spot and settled for an MLRA career best 6th place finish at the end. With the nights longest green flag stretch taking the field the final 29 laps, lapped traffic made its way into play over the course of the final 15 laps of the main event. Erb had used the low line the majority of the night on both ends of the speedway, and with side by side lapped traffic in his cross hairs the New Waverly, TX driver was forced to move around in the closing laps to overcome the side by side lapped traffic. Lapped traffic allowed Pearson to edge ahead a couple of times exiting turn four, but in the end it was Erb collecting the MD3 Most Laps Led while being credited with leading all 40 laps to earn the $5,000 MLRA payday. Pearson scored his best MLRA finish of the year with a second place run, with Gordy Gundaker grabbing the third spot on the podium. Garrett Alberson charged from 16th on the grid to another strong 4th place finish while current Midwest Sheet Metal Point Leader Chad Simpson rounded out the top five. "I didn't think one and two was going to be there, it was super sketchy," commented Erb of the top line of the "Broadway Bullring" from Lucas Oil Victory Lane. "In three and four under caution I was kind of seeing how big it was built up and I didn't think I needed to enter all the way up against it just because I thought I might drive out of here. If I hit that end just right, I could carry enough speed down the front straightaway and get back down in one and two." "I really like coming here," continued Erb. "Especially when it starts out wet like it was, hot laps it was sloppy and normally that tends to make a good race. Any kind of win is something to be proud of and I feel like we're headed in the right direction and just looking forward to racing next week. For the veteran Pearson, second was a great momentum builder for his Jason Rauen race team. "When he started moving around down here in three and four, I knew that was my opportunity. We got into lapped traffic there and everybody was lined up on the bottom and I didn't really want to move around too much. I could have down here maybe (one and two) but in three and four I couldn't. I knew this 11 car was down on the bottom (Gordy Gundaker) and I didn't want to give that up, so we rode around behind him. We got up alongside of him (Erb) and maybe led one lap, I don't know, but anyway it was a heck of a race in lap traffic. All-in-all it was a good weekend for us." "I felt like we were pretty good, just the lap traffic was pretty wild there," commented third place finishing Gundaker. "I was kind of making hay in three and four on the top where those guys weren't but everybody was kind of swinging out. All-in-all just what a great night, and what a great race track for all of the rain and everything they had it was awesome." The Lucas Oil MLRA will return to action on May 17th & 18th for a two night stand in Eastern Missouri. On Friday, May 17th the MLRA will make their way to the Benton Speedway in Benton, IL for the first time in series history. The weekend will conclude on Saturday night with another first time venue in the Farmington Empire Speedway with a $7,000 to win weekend finale.

  Smith, Reinbold, Paulus score Impact Signs Awnings & Wraps Open Wheel Showdown wins at Lucas Oil Speedway

  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."

  NARC NEWSLINE - MAY 4, 2024

  NARC NEWSLINE - May 4, 2024, By Jim Allen … I'm sure we all agree when I say it's been a rough start to the 2024 season. Not just with the NARC schedule, but with just about every dirt track north of the grapevine in California. Mother Nature came bouncing out of her corner like a heavyweight champ with something to prove and pummeled motorsports into submission with wet weather. If the current trend continues, on a prorated basis, NARC would feature a whopping eight races in 2024. The worse thing about it is the weather has typically been perfect all week long, getting everybody excited, before bad weather rolls in on Friday and Saturdays. And not to leave the rest of the country out of the loop, the Outlaws and High Limit also know how to quickly find their rain gear. Because of the choppiness of the schedule, few in open wheel racing have been able to establish any real kind of "weekly" routine, making the natives restless and much of social media poison with the alleged expert opinions of the week. One driver and team that does have their act together this season is Cole Macedo and the Tarlton Motorsports team. Two-fer-two! They survived the unpredictable Battle Royale at Chico and mastered the newly remodeled Stockton Dirt Track before anybody else could. The Tarlton-team, with Drew Werner on the wrenches, is looking for their first NARC title since 2016. By the way, both NARC races had a "Road House" feel to them as only 10 of 24 starters finished at Chico, and 13 at Stockton. Silver Dollar Speedway was described as 1990's "old-school" rough, leaving aspiring drivers born in this century to struggle and figure it out. As luck would have it, Floracing capitalized on the Chico carnage for its ever-popular weekly crash highlight video … just from that one show. Man, that's an ego killer! But like clockwork, history always repeats itself. There's always a couple of events each year that look absolutely perfect on paper and then have you yelling at the steering wheel on the way home. The good news, those two are now behind us (fingers-crossed.) So with that, the NARC schedule has endured the the cancelation of the Dave Helm Memorial (3/9) and Peter Murphy Classic (4/13) in Hanford, the March Madness event at Merced (3/23), a postponement of the April 27th race at Stockton, and the postponement (yes, postponement) of today's Tulare's Chris & Brian Faria Memorial. So if you are keeping score, it's Mother Nature - 5, Cole Macedo and NARC - 2. Speaking of Stockton, everybody got their first glimpse on April 6th when the former 4/10's mile oval transitioned into a quarter-mile D-shaped bullring. As expected, the opinions were brutal despite the fact that it took a mad scramble to make the race happen in the first place. It also rained for two straight days leading up to the race and that didn't help the cause. It took a while to get the "new" Dirt Track raceable and the NARC heats didn't push off until 8:00 p.m. and the main at 11:13 p.m. (Our goal is to be done by 9:30 p.m.) Also in the pits was SCCT and they had their issues as well, including a longer than normal main event. When you added it all up, the NARC feature was called 27-laps complete at the stroke of midnight. For all of the conspiracy addicts out there, the drivers were informed by radio during the previous caution period that the scheduled 30-lapper was going to be considered complete at midnight no matter what happened. It "happened" with a multi-car crash and wasn't the way anybody wanted to end a chilly night. As Colt's Hall of Fame football coach Tony Dungy says in his book, "nothing good happens after midnight." Especially in Stockton! When all was said and done, the overall opinion of drivers and teams leaned more positive than negative and suggested improvements to make it even better. That's great news as promoter Tony Noceti is committed to the further evolution and improvement of the facility. After the show, he committed to building wider turns with more banking and a backstretch wall from turn two to four. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a ton of work and the weather didn't cooperate (try to act surprised) to allow those upgrades to be completed before our scheduled April 27th race. This postponed the event to a highly-anticipated Sunday Twilight Show on May 19th, the day after the NARC sprint cars invade Thunderbowl Raceway. (Twilight = Qualifying at 4:00 p.m.) That beats the tarnation out of another cancellation. We really need fans and teams to support this show as it could start a new trend and give race promoters another viable option. Other observers thought the Stockton postponement was the perfect opportunity for Peter Murphy to maneuver his April 13th rainout, better known as the Peter Murphy Classic, back into the schedule. However, Murphy already had a weekly show booked on that date. A few racing peeps wanted NARC to invade Kings Speedway which wasn't going to happen because the Central California locals barely have enough opportunities to race already. Not to mention, the PMC, an event filled with auctions, pageantry, and a pole shuffle, features a $50,000+ purse and needs avid fan support to support that obligation. When you figure in liability insurance, water, lights, marketing, track prep, security, garbage, officials and the like, the total expenses are closer to $70,000. And I'm being conservative. While many open wheel loyalists would attend a 7:00 a.m. Christmas morning sprint car show on short notice, the average fan which makes up 65% of any crowd would be home unwrapping gifts. In hindsight, the April 27th Kings crowd was average at best meaning a high-dollar PMC would have been a financial blood bath. It was the right call. With that being said, there is no official date for rescheduling the 10th anniversary of the PMC. Murphy has run the gauntlet to squeeze it in somewhere, but others barked back about conflicts. It appears that California promoters are battling for the same 1500 core fans. Let's hope we can figure this thing out. CALISTOGA SPEEDWAY: Some fans may have had unrealistic expectations that a race schedule would be released soon after the City of Calistoga and Napa County worked out their differences and finalized the sale of the fairgrounds. In reality that was just the starting point and best-case scenario, nobody will see a schedule until 2025. Tommy Hunt said way back in February that it would take his HMC Promotions team about six-months to promote and orchestrate the activities that surround the awesome two-day Louie Vermeil Classic weekend. Once racing is officially on the agenda, expectations will be at a Mount Everest-level as local politicians have the place under a microscope to make sure they made the right choice. That means an infield pit area packed with sprint cars, an overflowing grandstand, a Gold Cup type of feel, and race fans spending their money downtown. Otherwise, all of the pot-banging we did to get the historic half-mile reopened would have been for naught. All those who agree, say YAH! By the way, Tommy Hunt is undergoing serious health issues these days, and we wish him a speedy recovery. NARC NOTES: There are about 15 laps remaining to be sponsored for the June 1st Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial race in Placerville. Contact Karen Bradway-Tuccelli on Facebook if you are interested in sponsoring a lap in the 40-lap feature or 12-lap semi. … An entire nation gasped (on Floracing) when Ryan Robinson clipped the tractor tire coming out of turn two and flipped violently while leading at Silver Dollar Speedway at the Mini-Gold Cup NARC opener. While everybody, including wife Kylie, was attempting to comprehend what had just happened, Ryan had already managed to climb out of the Antaya Motorsports #16A and was stepping slowly to the pit area. His movements were purely instinctual as his eyes saw nothing but black after suffering his fifth racing-related concussion. Luckily, the safety crews caught up with him shortly thereafter. Ryan made an announcement a couple of days later that he is retiring from racing. You know it was a tough decision, but it was the right one. He knows that you can only scramble the eggs so many times. Never forget that this is a dangerous sport. … Willie Croft will be battling for the Skagit Speedway championship in Washington this year with "Rudeen" backing on his number 29 sprint car. He will be attempting to dethrone the defending champ, Trey Starks. … … Only six drivers have finished in the top ten in both races. Can you name them? How about … obviously Cole Macedo … Tanner Carrick, Bud Kaeding, Nick Parker, and rookies Gauge Garcia and Cadeen Steele. Carrick may be the most underrated driver in California with a sixth and third place finish in NARC competition, as well as two Ocean 360 wins to his credit. He is overdue to post his first NARC career victory. … Dominic Scelzi is back in California. He was planning to miss the first six NARC shows of the season while he was chasing races around the Midwest with the Outlaws and High Limit. As it turns out, he only missed two. He will be a "wild card" the rest of the season, attempting to steal victories as others chase the championship. … All, like in every single one of our events are on Floracing.com … David Castenada reports that work is underway at Santa Maria Speedway. After sitting dormant for a couple of years, the track needs serious love to make it race ready. Tony Pombo, who signed a lease-agreement for the place, is actively involved in the process. NARC invades Santa Maria on July 27th - right about the time temperatures hit 110 degrees in the Central Valley. … Justyn Cox cracked three ribs at the Chico opener. You know it was bad when he couldn't golf! ... … The new NARC 65th Anniversary Coloring Book is hot off the press. Thank you to Creative Finishes Plus and Andy & Candace Forsberg for sponsoring this project. Also, thanks to my wife Carol who did all of the artwork. We will pass them out to kids at upcoming events. … Which reminds me of a quick story from the last time we had a NARC coloring book in 2019. While handing them out to excited kids in Tulare, one impatient attractive woman (40ish) insisted on getting one for herself. I politely told her it's kids first, since we need to keep them engaged so their parents continue to bring them to the races. I said if there are any left, I would hook her up. A minute or two later, she impatiently works her way back in line and offers to flip up her shirt and show me the goods if I give her one. Excuse me, did I hear that right? Now I'm not going to say what actually happened at that point, but she walked away with crayons also. … THE ROAD TO THE DIRT CUP: It's hard to believe the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports are only about 40-days away. Based on phone calls, emails, and DM, there is going to be a large contingent of fans making this stellar road trip. It's going to be a parade going up Interstate 5. If you haven't locked down your tickets yet, each track's website is ready to serve them up. By the way, the five FFDM shows pay $5,000 to win and $600 to start the A. The Northwest Focus Midgets will be the support division for the first four events. They put on a great show. From the FFDM Father's Day finale at Grays Harbor Raceway, we continue North to the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup. That group is busy putting together fan engagement activities for this showcase event. I'm spearheading the Super Dirt Cup Charity Golf Tournament on Wednesday, June 19th - the day BEFORE the three-days of racing kicks off. We are looking to accomplish two things … build on the "Club" in Northern Auto Racing Club by having an enjoyable day at the nearby Avalon Golf Links. And two, raise money for the NARC Benevolent Fund and the Rayce Rudeen Foundation. Please join us, no matter what your skill level. Off the record, this may become more of a drinking event than a birdie event. (#justsaying) Sign-ups are only $100 and that include golf, cart, box lunch, gift bag and a chance to claim a bunch of prizes and awards. Here is the only caveat: You have to sign-up and pay before June 5th. … We are also looking for hole sponsors. Call me! … Who is your pick to walk away with a $62,000 payday at this year's Super Dirt Cup? And the hot news of the moment ... We have rescheduled the Chris & Brian Faria Memorial for October 12th at Tulare, which is the weekend before the Trophy Cup. It is now part of a great show that also includes the Sprint Car Challenge Tour. It's shaping up to be a terrific October. With that, prepare to get busy because there are 13 NARC shows scheduled in the next 50 or so days. It's going to flash by in the blink of an eye so get your travel plans dialed in. Coming to you live from Auburn, CA! May the Fourth be with you. See ya!

  Henry rebounds with AFCS Fremont victory; Ivy earns 62nd Fremont win in 305s

  FREMONT, Ohio - It's said in racing in order to succeed you need to have a short memory. Have a bad night? Put it behind you and move to the next race. That held very true for Cap Henry Saturday, April 27 at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction. Henry, who claimed the Fremont Speedway 410 sprint crown, the Attica Fremont Championship Series title and the Attica Raceway Park title in 2023, missed the feature Friday at Attica. He put it behind him on Level Performance/Gressman Powersports Night at Fremont, leading all 30 laps of the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main to score the $4,000 payday. Henry had to survive a late race caution to earn his 19th career victory at "The Track That Action Built." He held off a charging Travis Philo, DJ Foos, last week's winner Cale Thomas and Friday night's Attica winner Skylar Gee to visit the Beaverdam Fleet Services Victory Lane. "I never doubted Zack (Myers) and my guys. We've either been really fast or we shouldn't be at the race track. It's either we win it or don't show up. Zack went through this thing front to back today. He never gives up. We really got lucky there at the end with the cautions. I had ripped off all the tear-offs that thing by like lap 10 and I was just hanging on," said Henry of his Jeff Ward Demolition, Premier Planning Services, Ohio Logistics, Primal Tee Shop, Elliott's Custom Trailers and Carts, FK Rod Ends, Griff's Engines backed #33W. Thomas' fourth place run will keep him atop the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group standings. The Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature came down to the last lap. A caution necessitated a green-white-checkered finish and in the final corners on the last lap leader John Ivy and Friday night's Attica winner Tyler Shullick raced side by side and banged wheels. Ivy held off Shullick for his 62nd career Fremont victory. Shullick, Jamie Miller, Bryan Sebetto and Seth Schneider rounded out the top five. Ivy, who is now tied for fourth on Fremont's all-time win list with Gug Keegan, put himself in contention for the title of the NAPA of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales. "I saw Tyler stick his nose down there and I thought well I have to try something. I knew Tyler wouldn't take me out…he's a good racer and he will win his fair share. I just have to get as many as I can now…I'm not getting any younger," said Ivy beside his C&N Construction Supplies, Atkinson Farm, Pub 400, Fox Painting, Sonny's Machine & Welding, Kistler Racing Products, Level Performance, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Level Performance, Level Utilities, SC Atkinson Farms, MRE of Ohio, Welty Financial Services, Dave Story Equipment & Repair, Napa of Bryan, Minich Installations, Meade Motorcars backed #49i Heavy rains struck the speedway just prior to the planned drivers' meeting which caused an over three hour delay in getting the racing surface in shape. Because of the lateness, Fremont Speedway Promoter Rich Farm approached the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck teams about cancelling their portion of the night's program in exchange for doubling their purse - from first in the A-feature to last in the B-feature - for next week and the majority of the teams were in agreement. Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction will be back in action on Family Fun Night, Saturday, May 4 with the dirt trucks, 305 sprints and the USAC D2 Midgets in action. All events at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction in 2024 will be streamed on DirtVision.

  Gee gets thrilling 410 Attica win; Schlenk slices to late model victory, Shullick earns 1st 305 win

  ATTICA, Ohio - Skylar Gee not only held off challenges from Tim Shaffer and Brady Bacon and a late race caution, but the Canadian driver also defeated Mother Nature Saturday, April 26 at Attica Raceway Park on Baumann Auto Group/Craig Miller Trucking/North Central Electric/Bucyrus Road Materials Night. Following two rain delays, Gee, aboard the Fenton Racing #99, started seventh in the Callie's Performance Products 410 Sprint Feature that featured position changes throughout the field during the 30-lap affair. Gee worked his way into second just past the half-way point behind leader Tim Shaffer and used lapped traffic to take the lead on lap 18. Brady Bacon was closing late in the race when the caution flew with just four laps to go. Gee utilized the clear track to drive to his third career win at Attica over Bacon, Emerson Axsom and Dale Blaney. "I made the move for second and the yellow came out and I was a little worried. I struggled to get going after that and finally got a rhythm back and was able to get by Shaffer when he got slowed up. There were so many guys criss-crossing everywhere on the track. Thanks to my dad and Rog for working hard all week. We've had our teeth kicked in the past couple of weeks so it feels good to rebound like this. I have to thank Logan and Becky for standing behinds us," said Gee beside his Warrior Building Development, Building Packages Direct, Pack Rat Dumpsters, Castle Rock Enterprises, Pat Beck Motorsports, FK Rod Ends, Nelson Brothers backed machine. The Dirt Nerds Podcast presented by Propane UMP Late Model feature was also very entertaining featuring side by side battled throughout the 25 lap affair. Clint Coffman lead the opening lap before defending track champion and fourth starter Devin Shiels took over. The lone caution came on lap three and once the green flew, the battles up front continued. Seventh starter Rusty Schlenk used lapped traffic to take the lead with just seven laps to go and picked his way through dense traffic for his 39th career late model win at Attica over Shiels, Doug Drown, Nathon Loney and Mike Bores. "That was a heck of a race. That was quite the battle. I knew I had to be patient. Devin was really good…I didn't think I could pass him in the open so I had to be patient and save my stuff and hope to God we would get into lapped traffic and that's exactly how it worked out. I got lucky and picked through lapped traffic a little better than he did. It doesn't seem like that long I ago I got my first win here. I love this place. It always turns out you can race all over this place," said Schlenk beside his Buckeye Concrete Coatings, Terry Henricks Auto Group, Velocita USA, Dominator Race Products, Tom Finch Auto, Domination Race Cars, All Star Performance supported #91. The Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature saw five different lead changes between Tyler Shullick and Steve Rando during the 25 lap event that saw only one caution. Shullick bolted into the initial lead but fourth-starter Rando used heavy lapped traffic to close and take the lead on lap 11 only to see Shullick drive back by the next circuit. Rando blasted back into the lead on lap 17 but Shullick maintained his composure and took it back a lap later. A caution with just six laps to go would see defending track champion Jamie Miller challenge Shullick and Rando for the lead on the restart. Shullick moved his line to the high side and drove away to his first Attica win over Rando, Miller, Bryan Sebetto and Jimmy McGrath. "I knew when I saw Rando…Rando only runs one line and that's on the catch fence. So I figured Rando is here so there's something up there. I took his line for a few laps. I want to thank Sonny (Conger)….it's his birthday so I hope he's watching from home. He's done a lot for me. Atkinson Farm, Griff's Engines and Machine, LR Custom Karts, my mom and dad, Sam Kontos…I put a lot of trust in him. I live and die by making a lot of calls and I just follow his suit now and we work really well together," said Shullick. After Friday's event, the point battles in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship 410 Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group and the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship 305 Series Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales have tightened up.

  Hartmann mounts plus-10 A-main rally in 2024 IRA curtain-raiser

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 24, 2024 - Following three consecutive race cancellations due to uncooperative spring weather conditions, Austin Hartmann and the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing Team finally got the 2024 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series season off the ground in front of a chilled contingent of hearty fans for the inaugural Wisconsin Triple Crown event at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Saturday, April 20. With air temperatures hovering in the mid-30s, Hartmann fired up his third full season of IRA competition by qualifying 16th in the 30-car field with a lap of 14.469 seconds around the high-banked third-mile clay oval. After lining up sixth in the first eight-lap IRA heat race, the Plymouth, Wis. driver lost one spot to place seventh and just miss gaining an automatic A-main transfer position. Hartmann then started second and came home fourth in the 10-lap B main to nail down the 22nd starting position in the 30-lap Wisconsin Triple Crown IRA main event. The 2020 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Rookie of the Year Award recipient utilized a smooth, patient and consistent driving approach to negotiate a tricky track surface and push his 87A machine forward 10 spots to secure a 12th-place A-main finish in a race won by first-time IRA victor Tim Estenson. "I put our team behind the 8 ball during qualifying," Hartmann said. "I didn't want to make any excuses, so we had to work a little bit harder after that. During the feature, we planned to get the car balanced enough so I could run anywhere on the track. We hit the setup good for the first 15-20 laps and we were able to pass some cars. The car got tighter during the end of the race, making it hard to hold the bottom. Luckily, there was enough moisture throughout the middle of the track, which allowed me to pass through traffic. Overall, we pulled out of a hole and managed to save the night with a decent finish." The team was slated to open the 2024 IRA campaign at Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis. on Friday, April 19. However, cold and wet weather forced the event to be postponed and rescheduled for Friday, Sept. 27. The 87A Hartmann Racing Team is scheduled to take the upcoming weekend off before resuming the 2024 Bumper to Bumper IRA schedule with the series' debut appearance at Ogilvie Speedway in Ogilvie, Minn. on Friday, May 3, which will feature support from the WISSOTA Midwest Mods and WISSOTA Mod Four divisions. On Saturday, May 4, the team will head to Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. for the Sprint Open Wheel Spectacular, which will also include UMSS Traditional Sprint Car and UMSS Limited Winged Sprint Car divisions. Hot laps will begin at 5:30 p.m. with racing listed as starting at 6 p.m. All Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association events will be streamed live on FloRacing during the 2024 season.

  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.

  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.

  Cale Thomas finally exercises demons to take Fremont Speedway win; Jamie Miller takes 305 and truck victories

  FREMONT, Ohio - Cale Thomas could have had two wins in the 2024 racing season but mechanical woes cost him. The Fairland, Indiana driver finally had a race day go his way, claiming the 410 sprint feature win to open the season at Fremont Speedway presented by Gill Construction Saturday, April 20 on Fort Ball Pizza Palace Night. Thomas, aboard the Jay Kiser Racing #23, took the lead from Larry Kingseed on lap three of the 30-lap Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main, was patient in lapped traffic and drove to his second career win at "The Track That Action Built." Defending Fremont Speedway champion Cap Henry, Zeth Sabo, Craig Mintz and Zane DeVault rounded out the top five. The win also makes Thomas a clear threat to dethrone Cap Henry in the hunt for the title of the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads-Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group as the series begins its sixth season. "I didn't know how close Cap was but I felt like I was doing what I was supposed to do in getting through lapped traffic the way I did. When you have a guy like Cap Henry behind you he will pounce on any little mistake you make so I'm always thinking is this a good corner…should I be doing this…do I need to change this. I just kept doing my fundamentals and staying after it. This could have been our third win this year….we definitely needed this," said Thomas in the Beaverdam Fleet Services Victory Lane beside his Spanky's Pizza, Shelluke's Bar & Grill, Automatic Fire Protection, Ohio Refrigeration, Engler Machine, BH 41, TMH Holdings, Berryman Racing Shocks, Keizer Wheels backed machine. Jamie Miller usually doesn't like slick race tracks. But, after waging a terrific battle the last two thirds of the 25-lap Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature with Tyler Shullick, Miller took the lead for good on lap 21 and drove to his 45th career victory at Fremont. Zack Kramer led the first six laps before fourth starter Miller took over. Tyler Shullick worked the low line to grab the lead with 10 laps to go, but Miller was patient and charged back to the point on lap 21 and drove to the win. Shullick, Kramer, Paul Weaver and Dustin Stroup would round out the top five. With the win, Miller, who also picked up a win at Attica Raceway Park this season, looks to stop Weaver from recording a sixth straight title with the NAPA of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales. "This definitely isn't my cup of tea as far as track conditions but we were pretty good tonight…I'll take it. The car was just getting better and better and then we got into traffic and it never really changed. I was good in dirty air, clean air so I was just kind of biding my time and he (Shullick) was getting hung up and I got back there and held her for all she was worth to try and park it up here," said Miller of his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kolb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty's Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy's Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed #26. Not content with just one feature win for the night, Miller proceeded to take the lead on lap eight of the 20-lap Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature and drive to his 46th career feature win at Fremont Speedway. David Gumby led the first seven laps of the caution-filled feature before sixth starter Miller drove under for the lead. Miller, who now sits ninth on the track's all-time win list, survived several late race cautions for the victory over Keith Sorg, Dustin Keegan, Kent Brewer and Kevin Phillips. "I tried the top and the truck didn't like it so I slowed down and rolled the infield tires and got ahold of something," said Miller beside his Fostoria Mod Shop, Ron Miller Race Cars backed #4M. Fremont Speedway presented by Gill Construction will be back in action Saturday, April 27 for Gressman Powersports-Level Performance Super Heroes Night with the AFCS 410 and 305 sprints and dirt trucks in action.

  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.

  WEEKEND SWEEP IN WHEATLAND: DAVENPORT WINS $20K MLRA "SPRING NATIONALS" FINALE  

  Wheatland, MO (April 13, 2024) - Jonathan Davenport left no doubt on the opening weekend for the Lucas Oil MLRA, as he continued his dominance at the Lucas Oil Speedway in capturing Saturday nights 11th Annual MLRA "Spring Nationals" finale and its $20,000 payday. Davenport capped a near perfect weekend for his Nutrien Ag Solutions Longhorn team, coming just shy of the weekend sweep of all events when Dustin Hodges topped Davenport and the rest of the 44-car field to score his first career My Race Pass overall "Fast Time Award" with a lap of 14.788 seconds. The starting grid would find Hodges alongside of Davenport for the start of the sixty lap main event, with Davenport taking the early lead. The main event would go green for the first 25 circuits, with Davenport building up a lead of 4.801 seconds over Ricky Thornton Jr. and Mason Zeigler when the nights first caution waved on lap five as Chris Simpson stopped at the entrance of turn one. The green would wave over the field once again for another ten-lap stretch, until a spin for Matt Johnson on lap thirty five placed the field under the nights second caution. Garrett Alberson was on the move leading up to the caution, as he moved his Roberts Motorsports entry from 13th on the grid inside the top three in third position. The nights final caution waved just three laps later with 22 laps remaining as a multi car incident in turn three and four involving the likes of Trevor Gundaker, Hodges, Dillon McCowan, Cole Wells, & Dusty Leonard put the field under red. On the nights final re-start, the man on the move was 21st starting Mike Marlar who had now raced his way into fifth. For the second night in a row, Davenport controlled the restart and quickly put over a one second margin between himself and Thornton Jr. Thornton made an effort to chase him down on the restart, but it was to no avail for the second consecutive night, as Davenport cruised to the win by 4.237 seconds over Thornton Jr. Thornton Jr. nipped Alberson at the line for second, while Marlar completed his night in fourth, collecting the "Swift Springs Move Of The Race". Mason Zeigler completed the top five after finishing in third the night prior. "We were so good in that heat race, we was afraid to change anything," noted Davenport of his win in heat race # 3—a victory of nearly 5.5 seconds over Thornton Jr. "I feel like we over adjusted last night, so we did finally make some changes there at the very end, I don't know if it was the right one, but it sure made it a lot easier to drive. I could maneuver very well and the car was just really good and I'm happy with it." For much of the race Davenport had to contend with lap traffic as his biggest threat for the victory. "I got into a pretty good rhythm there and the biggest thing I felt like won me the race was the lapped cars. I just tried not to get complacent and get behind one even if it was the wrong line. I tried to just keep my momentum up and try to pass them in the next corner. I knew those guys were right on me, Ricky has been really good, and Garrett was coming up through there, Mason was in and out of the top three there. I kept looking at the board, and ya the 157 keep crawling up the board, I was trying my best to put him a lap down there so he didn't have a chance but congratulations to all those guys. We'll definitely sleep good tonight," he concluded. PODIUM FINISHERS: 3rd Garrett Alberson, 1st Jonathan Davenport, 2nd Ricky Thornton Jr. Photo Credit: Heath Lawson Thornton Jr. had opportunities to chase down the Davenport, who for the second night captured the MD3 "Most Laps Led", but in the end he was one spot shy. "The one yellow come out and I wanted to see how we compared, and he just drove off, so that's why we're here. I feel like we were a little better than the other night, but just not as good as we need to be. Hopefully when we come back for the Show-Me we'll be a little better than tonight and don't start so far back in a heat race, because that's a big deal here." Alberson grabbed his first podium of the year with a sold night from deep in the field. "I'm super excited, we started off kind of slow today. The track through us all for a curve ball, except for Davenport, he had it covered. It took us a while to get going there, we made some really good decisions before the race on our set up. That track was really fun, I kept thinking it was going to rubber here and there, but it kinda kept moving around and stayed slick and technical. We had a good race with Marlar there and got close to Ricky so I'm super excited about it," he noted of his third place run. A quick turn-around awaits the Lucas Oil MLRA, as a three-night stand in the Hawkeye state awaits teams starting on Thursday night April 18th. The "Hawkeye Land 40" will mark the MLRA's first ever visit to the Cedar County Raceway in Tipton, Iowa. The weekend will conclude with two consecutive nights of action on Friday and Saturday April 19th - 20th at the 34 Raceway in West Burlington, IA. Friday nights "Prelude to the Slocum" will pay $5,000 to win, while Saturday nights 16th Annual "Slocum 50" will send the winner home with a $10,555 pay day.

  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.

  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 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.

  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 Photos In 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 ready for 11th annual MLRA Spring Nationals this weekend

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 8, 2024) - Lucas Oil Speedway plays host to its first multi-night special of the season on Friday and Saturday with many of the nation's top Late Model stars expected for the 11th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Spring Nationals Presented by Arizona Sport Shirts. Chad Simpson of Mount Vernon, Iowa, will begin pursuit of a third straight series championship 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. Simpson earned three MLRA feature wins and seven top-five finishes in 2023 when he earned his fourth series championship. He finished 270 points in front of Chris Simpson of Oxford, Iowa. Third-place points finisher Dillon McCowan of nearby Urbana was third while earning MLRA Sunoco Rookie of the Year honors. The MLRA Series figures to be as competitive as ever. Four-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champion Earl Pearson Jr., announced recently that he and his Jason Rauen-owned team will follow the MLRA circuit this season from their base in Farley, Iowa. Pearson, 52, dropped from the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series last month citing a lack of crew help. That ended nearly a 20-year continuous run on the national series. Pearson has four career MLRA victories with his last coming in April 2019 at Thunderbird Speedway in Muskogee, Okla. 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.

  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.

  Dishing new dirt, plus 12 things to look for during the 2024 Lucas Oil Speedway season

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 3, 2024) - When drivers arrive for Lucas Oil Speedway's first event of the 2024 season on Saturday, they'll find a dirt surface refurbished in the offseason with 450 loads of new clay dirt. Through two preseason Open Test and Tune sessions, Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said the surface has been smooth. "We are learning it holds moisture more than before, but we are also in the rainy season and cool temperatures," Lorton said. "So it's hard to say if it will be the same when it starts warming up and we have hotter temps. Each night will be a learning curve for us, also." Lucas Oil Speedway starts its season with the 3rd annual Easter Bowl 150 Enduro headlining Saturday night's action. The 150-lap lap race will pay the winner $1,500. The Enduro will come at the end of a program that includes the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models racing for $1,000 to win. The POWRi Midwest Mods and POWRi Pure Stock going also will be in action with $500 to win in their features. The speedway is continuing to accept entries for the Enduro with entry fee $150. Drivers can preregister by calling into the speedway office at (417) 295-6048 and paying the entry fee via credit card or print off the entry form from the website and drop it off with the fee. Starting positions for the 150-lap, $1,500-to-win Enduro will be based on order of paid entries received. Drivers will start the race three-wide. Pit passes are $35. Pit gates will open at 4 p.m. with grandstands at 5 p.m., hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.

  JEFF DYER EXPERIENCED MIXED RESULTS IN LAST TWO RACES - WEATHER MAY AFFECT WHERE HE RACES SATURDAY

  (Yucca Valley, CA, March 20, 2024) For veteran open-wheel racer Jeff Dyer, the past two weeks have produced vastly different results in two separate disciplines of open-wheel competition. On March 9th, the racing California Highway Patrol Officer finished second in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series main event at the Bakersfield Speedway. One week later, he ended up 19th in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series main event at Perris Auto Speedway. Dyer, who turned 41 last week, hopped into his son Seth's car for the impressive performance at Bakersfield. The unselfish teen offered Dyer the ride after the latter lost an engine during the California Mid-Winter Fair races at the Imperial Valley Raceway. The CLS has a throwaway rule where each driver throws out a race throughout the year. The elder Dyer used his throwaway when mechanical ills plagued him at the season-opening race. Thus, he could not afford to sit out the Bakersfield event. However, he was prepared to do so until Seth approached him with an idea. The teen would sit out and use his throwaway and his father would not lose a race. The move paid great dividends for both. Jeff got to race and in doing so, he got seat time in Seth's car and adjusted it for the teen's future races. After qualifying fourth fastest in the 14-car field with a lap of 13.062, the Yucca Valley, California racer placed fourth in his eight-lap heat race. For the main at Bakersfield, Dyer, who won a main event at the track last June, was starting on the inside of row three. After initially slipping back to sixth, the veteran racer moved back to fifth on lap four. Two laps later he executed a daring pass going into turn one. He passed two cars at one time and found himself in third. From laps six through 19, Dyer became mixed up in one of the best scraps for position the CLS has seen in quite some time. It was initially a seesaw battle with Aiden Lange that had them fighting for third place. Simultaneously, they sandwiched the second-place car and suddenly the battle between the two was for the number two spot. Dyer finally took control of that position on lap 19. He set his sights on the race-long leader, but victory was not his to be and he raced home second. When the CLS next hits the track in April, Dyer will be sixth in points. While things went well at Bakersfield, the same could not be said for the March 16th race in the USAC/CRA Series at Perris Auto Speedway. After qualifying with a lap of 17.117, things spiraled downhill in a hurry. In his heat race, lap seven contact with another car knocked him out of the 10-lapper. The tangle destroyed the front shocks, a wheel, and a few other bolt-on parts. Dyer and his crew got the car repaired for the main event and he started the 30-lapper in 19th. Things were going better until lap 22 when disaster struck. As Dyer sped into turn four, a car was stopped on the cushion. With no time to miss the car, Dyer threw it sideways and hit it. The contact saw Dyer get airborne and head back across the track where he landed on top of another car before settling right side up. This time the yellow #39 sustained too much damage and was towed back to the pit area to be loaded back into the trailer. "We hit sideways," he commented about the main event tangle. "It was no man's land at that point in time as I had already committed. We hit Ricky Lewis bounced down the track and then Cody Williams hit us. We were ready to flip and when Cody hit us it brought us back down to earth. Cody had nowhere to go. It (the crash) ripped the rear end out of the car and it destroyed the header and some other bolt-on pieces. Actually, it was not as bad as we thought. The chassis is okay. I thought it was going to be bent for sure. It is all fixable. Unfortunately, I was gone last week and we could not get it fixed for Cocopah." "I really did not expect the track to be that good and I completely missed the setup in qualifying," the CHP Officer nicknamed "Ponch" lamented. "We were way too tight. In the heat, we were doing pretty good and then we got in that tangle. We were pretty good in the main, too. We need to do a little bit more to the car. I called Spike ( the Spike Chassis company) and got some notes from them. Actually, the notes they gave me, we were quite a bit off from where we should be. With the changes they told us, we should be a lot better." Last week Dyer was doing some training at the CHP facility in Sacramento, California. Being there for the week meant he did not have time to fix his car for last Saturday's USAC/CRA race at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway. Weather permitting, he will return to the track for the first race in the new Ultimate Sprint Car Series presented by Inland Rigging at the Kevin Harvick Kern Raceway this Saturday, March 30th. In case of inclement weather, Dyer and his teenage son will head south to the Barona Raceway for the So Cal Lightning Sprint Car race. If the race happens at Kern, hot laps will begin at 4:45 p.m. and opening ceremonies will be at approximately 6:30. Adult tickets are $25.00. Kids five and under are free. The track is located at 13500 Raceway Boulevard Interstate 5 and South Enos Lane in Bakersfield. The track website is https://www.kernraceway.com/ and the office phone is (661) 835-1264. If the weather gets the best of Kern and Dyer heads to Barona, the track is located at 1754 Wildcat Canyon Road, in Lakeside, California. Gates will open at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday with racing at 6:00. Adult tickets are $20.00. For kids 7 to 17, admission is $10.00. Seniors, Military, and EMTs also get in for $10.00. Children 6 and under and parking are free. Family packs of two adults and two kids are $50.00. The track website https://baronaspeedway.com/ and the phone number is (619) 994-6560. Upcoming on Dyer's schedule is a date at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway on April 6 for round #4 of the USAC/CRA Series. On April 13th he and Seth will make the long drive north to the Merced Speedway for the opening battle in the annual California Lightning Sprint Cars vs Bay Cities Racing Association Civil War Series. In 2024, the following marketing partners will help keep the Dyers on track. Dependable Machine Inc., Haircuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, LBA Investigations, Straight Time Stirrups, Justice Brothers, Fonseca Racing, Specialty Fasteners, and Blud Racing Lubricants.

  Davenport Sweeps Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Action at Atomic

  CHILLICOTHE, OH (March 24, 2024) - Jonathan Davenport was the driver to beat on Sunday night at Atomic Speedway as he made a clean sweep of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series program. Davenport set the overall fastest time in Allstar Performance Time Trials, won his heat race to earn the Victory Fuel pole, and topped it off by winning the Buckeye Spring 50 to earn the $12,000 top prize. Davenport's second win of the season broke a streak of 10 straight Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series races that saw 10 different winners. The three-time champion earned his 76th win with the series. Mike Marlar was the only other driver to lead laps in the main event as he held the point for laps 15 and 16 after taking over the lead from Davenport, who had led the first 13 circuits of the race. But Marlar's top spot was short-lived as Davenport made a daring move coming off turn two on lap 17 to retake the lead which he held to the finish. Marlar came home in second with Devin Moran, the previous night's winner at Brownstown coming from the 11th starting spot to round out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Jimmy Owens, who holds the late model track record at Atomic was fourth, with Bobby Pierce completing the top five drivers. Davenport picked a fine time to turn around his weekend after finishing 15th at Brownstown on Saturday night. "Anytime you can set fast time, win your heat, and win the feature you know it just caps off the whole night. Mikey [Marlar], he run me pretty hard through lapped traffic and man there was one time when lapped cars got together and I had to squeeze between them and the wall; man, that was really close right there, but it was a lot of fun," said the Blairsville, Georgia driver. "There were some timely cautions for sure. I didn't know to be down on this end [turn four] early. I thought through the middle would be best, but I kept trying to move my line and I could never really get off the throttle like I needed to. I was moving around a little bit in one and two, but not much because there is so much banking down there, but I started coming off of it earlier and that helped me," Davenport added. Marlar, coming off a third-place finish at Brownstown the night before, improved one spot in the finishing order at Atomic. "When I got the lead, when Davenport got bunched up there in traffic and slid up a little bit and I got him and when he entered down here in one I thought I could enter below the lapped car and just be half on him on exit nobody was going to go around me. I went in there and got free and I let Jonathan have enough room behind that lapped car to come back in front of me. That was a big mistake on my end, but you know it's hard racing and it's fun and me and him had a heck of a race." Moran, who picked up his first series win of the season the night before, was looking for a clean sweep of the weekend but came up short in doing so in his home state despite a valiant effort from the inside of row number six. "This place you just can't pass a car one lap it takes a couple of laps to maneuver around someone. Charlie Vest [Atomic promoter] and them guys done a great job with the track. I thought we were going to be in trouble when they went out and watered it a little bit, but it really made a good race out of it. I just needed to qualify better tonight. We were pretty limited on tire selection tonight, so everyone was pretty much on the same stuff. I wish we could have started a little further up front. If that caution hadn't come out in the heat and I beat Ricky [Thornton Jr.] we might have had a chance in the feature."

  Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: Late Model veteran Walkenhorst ready for 25th year in sport

  WHEATLAND, MO. (March 19, 2024) - Joe Walkenhorst will mark a quarter-century driving a race car in 2024 when the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model season fires up at Lucas Oil Speedway. All but one of those years spent driving a Late Model. The feeling of wheeling the high-powered car around the dirt is an experience like no other, the 56-year-old resident of nearby Elkton said. "Late Models, just the feel of them, when they're really hooked up they feel like they're gonna throw you out the right side of the seat," Walkenhorst said of the appeal. "They are just so quick and fun." Walkenhorst will be looking to build off a strong 2023 season when action in the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series begins next month. He finished fourth in points a year ago with nine top-five finishes in 17 events, though most of his best runs came in the first half of the season. "Then I don't know what happened, but something went away on the car," Walkenhorst said. "I don't know if it was a shock or the rear-end. We ended up rebuilding the front end, the rear end, the middle, went through all the shocks. Finally, the last race of the year, we got it to come back. "All in all it was decent. Not what we were shooting for, but we got some pretty stiff competition there, too." Walkenhorst, a native of Lee's Summit, began racing in 1999 driving a Super Stock at Central Missouri Speedway in Warrensburg. He grew up going to the races to watch his dad, Ed Walkenhorst, drive a Late Model at I-70 Speedway in Odesssa. "I had to wait until I could afford to race," Walkenhorst said. "That's the biggest obstacle we had to overcome to go racing. But I started racing at Warrensburg in the Super Stock, which was basically a Late Model with a Stock stub, back in the day, and we had success from the git-go. We won four or five races the first year and the next year went to Super Late Models. That was quite a learning curve." Walkenhorst has raced nearly ever year since, though not always with a full schedule due to other commitments. He moved to Elkton, six miles south of Wheatland, a few years ago after his parents retired and bought a place there. "My dad decided that living in the city wasn't where he needed to be," Joe Walkenhorst said. "He found a farm in Elkton, just six miles south of the track. I bought three aces right next to them and built a house. I'm an only child and decided I needed to be close to them when they got to the age where they needed help." The only downside is a 230-mile round trip drive each workday to his job in Kansas City. That's why Walkenhorst said it's important to have good help in preparing his car, during the week and on race nights. Tony Allen, a former crewman for national-touring drivers Jason Papich and Earl Pearson Jr., has helped him the last couple of years. Garrett Eth has come on board to help daily maintenance and prep tires. Daughter Mariah Walkenhorst has been another mainstay in helping with crew duties. "Tony Allen has been with me last couple of years," Walkenhorst said. "He got tired of going on the road. We've been friends for a while and I told him, 'if you want come wrench for me on Saturday nights I'll buy you a pit pass and a hot dog and you can still get your racing fix and don't have to travel.' He's been great helping me set up the car and make the right adjustments. "Garrett Eth is a young kid wanting to learn and I'm getting him started on tires. It's a huge help for me. During the week I'm pretty much by myself and I'm on the road four hours a day. It helps to have a young buck to help out." Walkenhorst said his goals for this season are simple as he plans to race at Lucas Oil Speedway weekly. With the class under POWRi sanction, he also plans to hit some races at the track where he started, in Warrensburg. "I definitely want to get a win, if not multiple wins, and beat Justin," Walkenhorst said of Justin Wells, who dominated at the track last season. Joe drives a Black Diamond chassis that he bought from Wells a few years ago. "We're good friends and I take my whoppings accordingly," Walkenhorst said of Wells. "He's real good people." The Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series Weekly Opener is set for April 20th with all four divisions in action. The season-opening 3rd annual Easter Bowl Enduro 150 is set for April 6.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: 'Most Popular Driver' Franklin eager for more success

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Feb. 29, 2024) - Mitchell Franklin's long-sought first feature victory at Lucas Oil Speedway last June drew a loud ovation from the fans. It was a sign of things to come for the 25-year-old Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod driver from Camdenton. Following the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series season, Franklin was voted by the fans as the speedway's Most Popular Driver for the first time. He was humbled by the honor. "I know I have a bunch of fans because they always come and talk to me," Franklin said earlier this week. "But I was watching the video from the night I won. You can see the front stretch fans stand up and they're all hootin' and hollerin' for me. "It's a very humbling feeling when you see that. It makes you feel like you're doing something right. They're what keeps this sport going, so we need to make sure we take care of them." Franklin is eager to run it back in 2024 and see if he can win a few more features and build an even larger fan base. He's looking to debut a new Josh Franklin Motorsports car early in the season with plans to race most weeks at Lucas Oil Speedway while branching out and traveling to some big-money races around the Midwest. "We'll probably have to start out in our old car," Mitchell Franklin said. "We've got a new one built and we've got the tub in it, but can't really afford to (finish) putting it together until I sell my old car. If it doesn't sell before the season, I'll start with my old car. "He's keeping busy," Mitchell said of his dad's business, which builds Modifieds and Stock Cars. "I just hope we can continue our success this year and sell him some more cars." There was a lot of conversation after his first feature win whether Mitchell or Josh was more excited. "I was pretty excited, but I think he probably got more glory from that than I did," Mitchell said. "I was out front, minding my own race but dad was watching and felt the real suspense. My job was just to hit my marks, but he was able to see the cars behind me closing. "I rolled off turn two on the final lap and I saw him doing dang near cartwheels. It was probably about equal, but it was a great feeling for sure." With six top-five finishes in 12 Lucas Oil Speedway events, Mitchell Franklin continued his climb in 2023 as one of the area's rising B-Mod stars. He cemented his status with a final-night feature win at the USRA Nationals worth $2,000. Franklin said the win was nice, but wasn't as sweet as it should have been because it came after apparent winner JC Morton was disqualified in post-race tech inspection. That didn't diminish the strong run by Franklin, who started 21st in the main event. "We did start 21st and were able to pass 20 of the fastest cars around," Franklin said. "JC unfortunately had some difficulty in the tech shed. No one wants to win one that way. We were willing to take it just because of the prestige that race has and where we started. "We're kind of, I say a low-buck team. We don't have the funds some other teams have and we do it all ourselves. It was a huge win for us, really. But you want to jump around and scream, hoot and holler and stuff. You have to have respect for the other guy. He was on the highest of highs and it got taken away. We kept it low-key and celebrate among ourselves and didn't make too much of it. "We're gonna go try to win it straight-up this year," Franklin said, adding that he can't wait to get the new car to the track. "My car is a little older than the guys who are having success right now. I'd like to get on an even playing field with them and share notes and see if we can make this one just as fast as the one I've got," he said.

  Marlar Gets First Lucas Oil Win of the Season in Golden Isles Deuces Wild Finale

  WAYNESVILLE, Ga. (February 24, 2024) - Mike Marlar picked up his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season on Saturday night at Golden Isles Speedway. Marlar earned $20,000 out of the $80,000 feature purse to become the ninth different winner in the 13 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series events of 2024. Marlar led 48 of the 50 laps to earn his 22nd career win with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. The only other drivers to lead laps during the main event were Brandon Sheppard and Chris Madden who finished second and third to round out the Big River Steel Podium. Brandon Overton was fourth with Jonathan Davenport rounding out the top five drivers. "It was no walk in the park, there was a whole lot more to it than that. These guys are really tough, Shep [Sheppard] about had me passed at one end I guess, and I was lucky to get back by him. These are some of the best racers I feel like with the stiffest competition there are down here. I am happy to win against them that's for sure," said the Winfield, Tennessee native. There was track prep work done before the feature after a caution-free High Limit Sprint Car feature won by Jacob Allen. Marlar was asked about how it changed his strategy for the feature. "It will mess with you a little bit you know, you made your changes, and you really don't know what the track will do. I am glad they worked on it because it really needed it. I was just confident in my set-up. I kind of stayed where I planned on being before the track prep and it worked out really good. Winning a race at this level is basically a night of all good decisions on the track and off the track." Sheppard, who won his first heat race during Speedweeks earlier in the night battled with Marlar as the two went back-and-forth just past the halfway mark as Sheppard was credited with leading lap 28 before Marlar seized control of the top spot a lap later. "It was a really fun race," said the defending Dirt Track World Championship winner afterwards. "It's been an up-and-down Speedweeks for us for sure. We haven't been able to race towards the front a whole race like that you know we've had to pass a bunch of cars during Speedweeks because we haven't qualified good. Tonight, I feel like we turned that around. We won our first heat race of Speedweeks, so that's really good. We qualified good and I think we ended Speedweeks on a really good note. We really wanted to win this one really bad, this place has been good to me over the years, but I have never got a win here." Madden, who ran second to Ricky Thornton Jr. in one of the two Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series events at Golden Isles back in January took home the spot after leading the opening lap of the feature before yielding to Marlar on lap two. "Mikey's [Marlar] raced a lot on this type of surface and Brandon's [Sheppard] been in the South a lot since he's been on the road starting back in the day when he raced for Mark Richards. He's raced here as much as I have. All-in-all we had a good night, we were just way too tight in the first 10 or 15 laps or so. I think we fell back to like fifth and then we come back up through there. We were just extremely tight to start with and we just couldn't get it done there the first few laps." The winner's Greg Bruening, Skyline Motorsports-owned, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Truck Country, Mesilla Valley Transportation, Olson Explosives, Capital Signs, Bilstein Shocks, Petroff Towing, Bruening Rock Products, Brown's Heavy Equipment, and Can Am Auto Salvage. Completing the top ten were Garrett Alberson, Hudson O'Neal, Daulton Wilson, Kyle Larson, and Wil Herrington.
