- Jason Martin Returns To ASCS National Victory Lane At Lake Ozark Speedway!
Bryan Hulbert - ELDON, Mo. (May 28, 2023) Bouncing back at Lake Ozark Speedway, Jason Martin captured his fourth win of the season with the National Tour of the American Sprint Car Series and first of his career at the one-third-mile oval. The eighth time Jason Martin has topped the American Sprint Car Series National Tour, the Lake Ozark win is his first in the state of Missouri. Adding to his runner-up finish on Friday, Martin shot the outside on the start to capture the lead over Blake Hahn. Fending off the challenge from the DriveWFX.com No. 52 in traffic, Martin went on to lead the full 30-lap feature event. "I felt like I needed to get out front early because I really figured the top was going to be the dominant place to be, but I was worried it was going to be slimy still on the start. Blake took off really good on the bottom, and I spun my tires in the middle, so I just decided to rip the top, and it worked," explained Jason of the start. Able to hold on to the runner-up spot after several attempts by Joe B. Miller to take it, Blake Hahn was ultimately joined on the podium Seth Bergman, who has finished on the podium in seven consecutive outings with the ASCS National Tour. Taking advantage of a couple of restarts in the closing laps, Miles Paulus raced from ninth to fourth, with Jordon Mallett rebounding from a failed ignition box at the start of the night, to earn the KSE Hard Charger with a run from 21st to fifth. Jace Park crossed sixth, followed by Kyle Bellm. Brandon Anderson made up five positions to finish eighth, with Joe B. Miller slipping to ninth on the final laps with a failing tire. Howard Moore made up five spots to complete the top ten. Sunday night at Lake Ozark Speedway featured a 27-car field, with Joe B. Miller setting the overall quick qualifying time at 12.428-seconds. A trio of AR Dyno Specialty Heat Races went to Colton Hardy, Jason Martin, and Jace Park. The BMRS B-Feature was topped by Terry Easum. Provisional starts were used by Christopher Townsend and Kyler Johnson. The American Sprint Car Series is back on track on Friday, June 2, at Outlaw Motor Speedway and Saturday, June 3, at Caney Valley Speedway. The two events make up the Mickey Walker Classic, with each night paying $4,222 to win, $422 to start. The 2023 season will mark the 32nd year of competition for the American Sprint Car Series.

- DEVIN MORAN INHERITS LUCAS OIL SHOW-ME 100 VICTORY
WHEATLAND, Mo. (May 27, 2023) - Devin Moran was declared the winner of the 31st Annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 presented by the Missouri Division of Tourism after the initial winner Ricky Thornton Jr. was penalized four spots post-race for a droop limiter infraction. Moran earned a career-best payday of $50,000 in the crown jewel event and becomes the ninth different winner in the past nine Show-Me 100 events. Moran also marks the 16th different driver to win the traditional Memorial Weekend event in its 31-year history. Tim McCreadie was moved to second in the final rundown with Spencer Hughes, Chris Ferguson and Thornton rounding out the top five drivers. Jonathan Davenport, who was looking for a weekend sweep after winning the Cowboy Classic on Thursday night and the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson on Friday night grabbed the lead at the drop of the green flag. Thornton would run in the second spot for the first 20 laps before McCreadie was able to wrestle the spot away from him. McCreadie stayed in the second spot until lap 31 when Thornton regained the position. Hughes was one of the fastest cars on the track at the time - moving from eighth to third and then eventually to second by lap 36. After a lap 37 restart, Hughes yielded the second spot back to Thornton. Thornton would then track down Davenport as the two went back-and-forth in the battle for the lead. Thornton cleared Davenport for the point on lap 58 becoming the first driver other than Davenport to lead a lap in three nights of racing. Thornton then pulled away from Davenport stretching his lead out by several car lengths. Overton's night ended a few laps from the finish as he brought out the caution when he made hard contact with the wall coming off turn four. After one final restart, Thornton would outrun Moran to the checkers, but would drop to fifth in the running order following post-race tech. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the seventh time in his career Moran was asked his thoughts on the biggest win of his racing career. "This is like the best-worst win of my life. I just won the freaking Show-Me 100 and $50,000, but Ricky was the best car in the field and right there before that last caution I was making a boatload of time in one and two. I was just charging really hard to get through there, I was feeling really good. I don't now what our lap times were compared to the 20RT before that caution. I got a really good restart for sure." Moran gave credit to his victory to Kevin Rumley in his post-race interview. "First and foremost, there is a bad son-of-a-gun in North Carolina named Kevin Rumley. This win, 110% of it goes to that man. My entire career has been working our tails off. We've worked as many hours as you could imagine this week. Obviously, I want to thank Roger [Sellers] and his family for giving me this opportunity." It was the second Show-Me 100 victory for the Double Down Motorsports team as they went to Victory Lane in 2021 with Hudson O'Neal behind the wheel. Podium: Tim McCreadie 2nd (Left), Devin Moran 1st (Middle), & Spencer Hughes 3rd (Right) McCreadie was moved up one spot at the finish to claim the runnerup spot and a $20,000 payday. "I didn't know until I saw Overton bring out the caution, I didn't know if they had scored a lap. We just do our best and we had some luck, and we'll take it." Hughes, who ran as high as second during the race rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "It's great to get another good finish. We have been running really good here lately. In the past we have struggled in the long races. We have been fast in them before, we've run in the top five a lot, but to finish one off on the podium means a lot for us. We were really good for a long time there. At the end those other guys could get more consistently through three and four than I could. We are glad to put together another good run." The winner's Roger Sellers-owned, Double Down Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Lazydays RV, C&W Trucking, Lucas Oil Products, McHugh Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep., Bilstein Shocks, CarSourceAuto.com, Red Oak Pub, Smoky Mountain Speedway, and Lincoln Smith Racing.

- After a wild Show-Me 100, Moran declared the winner after Thornton's post-race penalty
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 27, 2023) - The 31st annual Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism was wild and crazy, rough and tumble and had post-race controversy. They'll certainly be talking about this one for a while. Devin Moran, second under the checkers, was declared the victor when apparent race-winner Ricky Thornton Jr. was penalized four positions in post-race inspection. "What the hell?" Moran asked in victory lane after claiming the $50,000 first prize. "This is like the best, worst win of my life. I just won the frickin' Show-Me 100 and $50,000, but Ricky was the best car in the field." Moran, 28 of Dresden, Ohio, claimed the win in his SSI Motorsports Longhorn chassis after he finished just under one second behind Thornton. But a few moments later, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series officials announced that Thornton's car was in violation of the "droop rule" regarding the height of the rear deck. Tim McCreadie wound up officially in second with Spencer Hughes third, defending champion Chris Ferguson fourth and Thornton eventually penalized to fifth place. Local favorite 19-year-old Dillon McCowan of Urbana was sixth. Thornton, of Martinsville, Ind., led the final 43 laps in a race that turned into survival of the fittest with 13 caution flags and a track that had plenty of character - especially over the final half of the event. Asked how long it was going to take for it to set in that he was a Show-Me 100 champion, Moran shook his head. "I have no idea," Moran said. "There might be an asterisk by it, but it's gonna pay 50 grand one way or the other, so we're gonna take it. And we're gonna drink some beer tonight." The Ricky Thornton Jr. Facebook page posted afterward: "3/8th of an inch high on droop after the left rear chain broke. A $50,000 win taken away for less than half an inch after a parts failure on THAT track. sickening." The biggest question coming into the event was if anyone could beat Jonathan Davenport this week at Lucas Oil Speedway. Davenport started alongside Thornton on the front row and led the first 58 laps - after leading every lap in winning preliminary features. Davenport survived nine caution flags to lead the first 58 laps in a race that took 50 minutes to complete 50 laps. Thornton pulled alongside Davenport on lap 54, but couldn't complete the pass. The duo traded sliders the next time around with Davenport still hanging onto the point as Hughes watched from third. Finally, for the first time this week, Davenport lost the lead as Thornton edged past on the inside out of turn four on lap 58. This was after Davenport had led 142 of 142 laps including the two preliminary night features. Thornton, by contrast, had picked up 29 positions on Thursday and Friday. He was able to weave through lapped traffic to open a nearly one-second lead over Davenport by lap 66. Then came caution No. 10 for a slowing Hudson O'Neal in turn two. O'Neal, the 2021 winner, had rallied from 20th to as high as sixth and was in eighth when he lost power. Thornton was able to open up a 2.7-second lead by lap 72 as Davenport had a similar cushion over third-place Hughes. Davenport started to close the gap in lapped traffic, getting within one second by lap 79. Davenport slipped way high in turn four on lap 83, almost hitting the wall. The cost him dearly as Thornton's lead expanded to 5.3 seconds - or about a full straightaway's margin. By lap 90, it was a runaway as Thornton led by seven seconds as Davenport's handling went away. Overton rode into second, but it appeared all Thornton's race by then. But Chad Simpson hit the backstretch wall on lap 96 to bring out the caution and wipe out Thornton's 5.3-second lead over Overton. That set up a four-lap shootout to determine the outcome. They were unable to get a lap finished after the restart as Overton hit the wall while battling with Moran out of turn four. "I drove like an idiot and wrecked the 76," Moran said. "I'll probably get a black eye when we get back to the pits, but the hell with it. We won the race, I guess." That sent Davenport back to second for the restart with Moran third and Hughes fourth. Davenport slowed on lap 98, apparently running out of fuel to bring out the 13th caution. Davenport, the 2015 winner, limped to the pits and settled for a 10th-place finish. Thornton was able to hold on during the green-white-checkered finish and beat Moran to the checkers by .904 seconds. The race took one hour, 19 minutes to complete. Then came the fateful trip to the tech building and Moran's unsuspecting trip to victory lane. "I want to thank Kevin Rumley and all of Longhorn," Moran said of the renowned engineer from North Carolina and the chassis he was driving. "Our crew has worked their (butts) off. We've worked as many hours as you could imagine this week." McCreadie said he felt fortunate to win up second and pocket $20,000. His car jumped the cushion and he fell back to eighth on the restart that saw Moran and Overton's incident bring out the caution. "Another hip check and there it was, another guy stuck in the boards," McCreadie said, using a hockey analogy. "We just do our best, we got some luck and we'll take it. It's a shame what happened to Ricky." Ferguson rallied from 16th to fourth, finding a different sort of race track that in his victory a year ago. He also was able to walk away feeling good, all things considered. "We're pretty happy. The crew has worked their butts off this weekend after we threw this car together in a couple of days," Ferguson said. "We'd have loved to have seen that cushion go down a lot faster. I'm just blessed to be up here on the front stretch again. "Congratulations to Devin. I know he's been looking for a win like this for a while. I'm happy to see him get it. I hate it for Ricky. Any time the track is rough like that, you're gonna have stuff happen. It was a good race, though. I know the fans thought it was exciting coming out of four there a couple of times" McCowan, who was a Show-Me 100 spectator sitting in the grandstand two years ago and competing in a USRA Modified at the event in 2022, was overjoyed with his finish. He started sixth, fell back to 13th for a time and rallied late while staying out of trouble. "It was awesome," McCowan said of his weekend. "I couldn't have scripted it out any better. I just wanted to make the show and not get lapped. This is pretty crazy It was a fun race. The track had a lot of character."

USRA Modified feature goes to Wheeler: Chad Wheeler of Muskogee, Okla., won the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature in a race declared over two laps shy of its planned 30 laps after a power outage took away the front stretch lights. The race was under caution on lap 28 when the lights went down. He was leading runner-up Robbie Reed by 1.6 seconds when a caution flew just before the outage. Wheeler earned $2,000 for the victory with Reed second, Ryan Middaugh third and Paden Phillips fourth. "A win's a win. You don't see that happen very often," Wheeler said. "What was scary, you couldn't see the flagman. What an awesome race track Lucas gave us. You could race all over it." Matt Johnson led the way through 11 laps before Wheeler, rallying from a sixth-starting position, took the lead on lap 12. Middaugh also drove past Johnson and those two quickly opened up a 10 car-length margin over third place. Middaugh slid past Wheeler for the top spot on lap 18, but just two laps later, Wheeler returned the favor with a pass heading into turn three. Wheeler, who won a preliminary feature on Thursday, led the rest of the way.

- Joe B. Miller Breaks Through With ASCS National At Lake Ozark Speedway!
Bryan Hulbert - ELDON, Mo. (May 27, 2023) So many laps led over the years. Finally, Missouri's Joe B. Miller led the last one Saturday night at Lake Ozark Speedway for his first career victory with the National Tour of the American Sprint Car Series. The 166th different winner with the American Sprint Car Series, Joe became the 13th Missourian to win with the National Tour, joining names like Brian Brown, Danny Lasoski, and Jesse Hockett to name a few. Almost a spectator, Joe B. Miller borrowed an engine from Scotty Milan, as his is still getting worked on. "I have to thank Scotty Milan. We didn't have an engine for this weekend, and he wasn't able to come in, so I called and asked if I could use his, and he said go for it." Adding to his success across numerous divisions at Lake Ozark, Joe said, "We got the regional win, but we've been working on getting this National Tour win for a little bit. We've been hit and miss, so this is pretty cool. It's a relief really. We were talking this week that we've been pretty good here in just about everything. We were just lacking the National Tour win." Getting the lead from the start, Miller had to fend of Seth Bergman with five laps to go. Moving just off the cushion, the Corridor Electric No. 23 was quick to Miller's back bumper. Pulling under the No. 51b off the fourth turn, Seth got next to Joe, but could not clear into the first turn. Going on the defense, Miller adjusted and held on for the win. Slipping by for second on Lap 22, Jason Martin posted his 20th career ASCS National podium finish. Pushing his podium streak to six on the season, Seth Bergman grabbed third. Moving up from 11th, Landon Britt crossed fourth, with Howard Moore fifth. Kyle Bellm, in sixth, was chased by Miles Paulus, who was the night's KSE Hard Charger, after gaining 11 positions. Matt Covington was eighth, with Brandon Anderson ninth. Moving up ten spots, Michael Day completed the top ten. Night 1 of the Spring Sprint Showdown included a 32-car field with Blake Hahn, the overall quick qualifier at 12.389-seconds. Four AR Dyno Specialty Heat Races went to Matt Covington, Howard Moore, Seth Bergman, and Joe B. Miller. The BMRS B-Feature was won by Gunner Ramey. The Spring Sprint Showdown at Lake Ozark Speedway continues on Sunday, May 28. Hot Laps are at 6:30 P.M. and Racing at 7:30 P.M. (CDT). Tickets are $25 for adults, $22 for seniors, $10 for youth (6-12), and $40 for the Pits. The 2023 season will mark the 32nd year of competition for the American Sprint Car Series.

- Henry grabs 2nd 410 win in a row at Fremont; Miller makes it 305 weekend sweep; Hery tames non-wings
FREMONT, Ohio - Cap Henry sliced his way through traffic like a surgeon and drove to his second straight 410 feature win at Fremont Speedway Saturday, May 27 on Ohio Laborers Night. It is his third win of the season at "The Track That Action Built." Henry took the lead from rookie Kasey Jedrzejek on lap seven of the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints feature and caught lapped traffic perfectly, passing them one at a time to claim his 15th career win at Fremont. Henry survived a three lap shoot out at the end after a caution, driving away from Travis Philo and Cole Macedo. "Last thing you want to do when you start on the pole is get beat by a rookie into turn one and Kasey did a good job there. By the time that first caution came out I realized we had a pretty good car and just had to maintain it. I didn't know if that caution at the end helped me or hurt me but Zack (Myers, crew chief) told me to go so I knew we had to get with it. I'm just super grateful for everyone that's involved in this. Jeff (Ward) bringing Zack and I on board and both the Wilson Brothers…this one goes out to their dad who they lost over the winter. This car has been so good…it's made racing a lot of fun again. I got lucky when I was dealing with lapped cars I was dealing with them one at a time and not two or three wide. It was a tricky race track but I give the track crew a lot of credit. For what we started out with and what it was at the end was a lot of fun," said Henry beside his Jeff Ward Demolition, Elliott's Custom Trailers and Carts, Premier Planning Services, Tony Elliott Foundation, Primal Tee Shop; SCS Gear Box, Napa of Fremont backed #33W. Piqua, Ohio's Travis Hery inherited the lead on lap 19 of the Great Lakes Traditional Sprints 25 lap feature after race-long leader Larry Kingseed had a right rear tire come off. On a challenging track Hery held off several challenges from Keith Sheffer the last four laps for his first ever Fremont win. "It was pretty knarly there in one and two and I biked up pretty good on that last restart. I don't know if it got in my head or something got messed up in the car but it got pretty tight. I have to thank my mom and dad for all they put into this. My wife Chloe…wish she could be here. She's busy working but I'm sure she's home cheering. Claxton builds us a really good motor every year and everyone who helps out," said Hery. Fremont, Ohio's Jamie Miller made it a sweep of the weekend in 305 sprint competition, leading all 25 laps to claim his second win of the season at Fremont. Miller, who won Friday at Attica Raceway Park, picked his way through traffic to claim his 41st career win at Fremont, putting him 11th on the all-time win list. "The lapped cars were coming pretty fast. I just tried to hold the line and keep the car under me and stay out of the holes and keep the gas pedal down. The car motor combination is on point right now. We're getting the car dialed in. It's a fast hot rod," said Miller beside his Boca Construction, Kenny Kalb Farms, Roberts & Sons Contracting, JLH General Contractor, Tuck Pointing America, Pizza Wheel, Smitty's Pizza, Queen of Clean, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Slade Shock Technology, CA Kustoms, Jamie Miller Trucking, Reliable Spray Foam Insulators, Gill Sawmill backed #26. Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, June 3 with the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group for the 410 sprints, the NAPA of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales for the 305 sprints, and the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks in action.

ATTICA, Ohio - While everyone else was running around the bottom, Travis Philo pulled his wing back and blasted away at Attica Raceway Park's cushion Friday, May 26. The move and adjustments his crew made paid off as the Waterville, Ohio driver blasted around race-long leader Jordan Ryan on the last corner of the last lap to earn his the 410 sprint victory on Steinle Chevrolet Buick of Clyde/Norwalk Concrete Night. Philo's margin of victory was .236 seconds and it was his ninth career win at Attica. Jordan Ryan led the first 29.75 laps. He was challenged the first half of the race by Stuart Brubaker. With just eight laps to go, Ryan had pulled away from the field while Philo got around Brubaker for second. By lap 25, Philo had found the top side of the track and closed quickly on Ryan, setting him up for the last lap excitement. "I was kicking myself the last five times I tried to run the bottom in three and four. I would get huge runs off of four but it was so hard to get slowed down and hit that bottom right. I knew the top was working…that's where I passed all my cars coming off of four and getting into one. We tried a little bit different stuff tonight and I have to thank my dad and AJ Havens, Kayden Havens and their entire family. My dad busts his ass for us to be able to do this and I'm extremely appreciative," said Philo beside his Control Design Solutions, Tire Slick, Banshee Graphics, Columbus Equipment, Bohmer Rentals, Kistler Engines, Berryman Racing Shocks, Classic Ink USA, Maxim Chassis backed #5T. Devin Shiels, who has won the last three consecutive Dirt Nerds Podcast/Propane.com UMP Late Model track championships at Attica, began the season with a new car and the results were not something the Britton, Michigan driver was used to. Shiels and his team overcame the gremlins Friday at Attica, snatching the lead with just three laps to go to earn his 16th career victory at "Ohio's Finest Racing" venue. Canadian Gregg Haskell looked as though he was going to earn his first Attica win, leading the first 21 laps. But, Shiels found something on the top side of turns three and four and took the lead just before a caution with 22 laps complete. Shiels drove away for the win. "We've had some gremlins with this car. We had a right front shut-off for the brake that was sticking on causing me to push and we were trying to chase it with the set-up and didn't find the brake until last week. We've been trying some stuff here and there and the new car seems to be almost like the old car was….maybe a little better," said Shiels of his Magic Fountain Auto Wash, Rally's Hamburgers, Dundee Products, Banshee Graphics, Salenbein Trucking & Excavating, Dirt Nerds Podcast, Banshee Graphics backed #51. Three time Fremont Fence 305 sprint champion Jamie Miller also blasted away at Attica's high line, charging from his eighth starting spot to the lead by just lap six. The Fremont, Ohio driver earned his second Attica win of 2023 in dominating fashion, taking the checkers by nearly seven seconds for his 37th career victory at the track. "I don't know what was going on behind me…all I know is this went to the front pretty fast. This thing was locked down fast. We have a new motor in the car and it's a real ripper," said Miller of his Boca Construction, Kenny Kalb Farms, Roberts & Sons Contracting, JLH General Contractor, Tuck Pointing America, Pizza Wheel, Smitty's Pizza, Queen of Clean, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Slade Shock Technology, CA Kustoms, Jamie Miller Trucking, Reliable Spray Foam Insulators, Gill Sawmill backed sprint car. Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, June 2 for Mid Season Championship Night with double points on the line. It will be an All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group night paying the Callie's Performance 410 Sprint feature winner $4,000. The Dirt Nerds/Propane.com UMP Late Models will fight for $2,000 to win while the Napa of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales 305 Sprints will battle for $1,200 to win.

- SOS TOUR HEADS TO SOUTHERN ONTARIO MOTOR SPEEDWAY
MERLIN, Ont. (May 27, 2023) - The 2023 Southern Ontario Sprints series presented by Tammy 10 Media is back in Chatham-Kent on Saturday night for the first of three scheduled visits to Southern Ontario Motor Speedway this season. The track formerly known as South Buxton Raceway was the site of the first event in SOS history back in 1996, but only a handful of winged Sprint Car races have been run at SOMS since the track was completely reconfigured several years ago; Dylan Westbrook claimed the win in last season's SOS event, while Darren Dryden (Action Sprint Tour) and D.J. Christie (Knights of Thunder) took wins in 2021. A good field is expected to compete in the event, which will now serve as the season opener for the SOS following rainouts at Merrittville and Brighton. Saturday's race now serves as the opener for the Nitro 54 Super Series and will pay $3,000-to-win. The wingless Ontario Traditional Sprints series will also open its season on Saturday at SOMS, and the highest finishing car to run in both the SOS and OTS races will be awarded a $500 bonus! Racing is scheduled to begin at 7:00pm on Saturday, May 27. Visit www.southernontariomotorspeedway.com for more information. SOS Media Website: www.southernontariosprints.com Twitter: @SOSsprints Facebook: SouthernOntarioSprints Instagram: southernontariosprints About the Southern Ontario Sprints tour: Founded in 1996, the Southern Ontario Sprints series is a traveling winged 360 Sprint Car tour based in Ontario, Canada. Each points-paying event on the 2023 schedule will pay a minimum of $2,000-to-win and $250-to-start, while a dozen events will pay $2,500-to-win or more, including five Nitro 54 Variety Super Series events paying at least $3,000-to-win. A points fund in excess of $16,000 will be divided among competitors thanks to the support of Tammy Ten Media, and selected events will be broadcast live on GForceTV.
