- MLRA RETURNS TO ACTION SUNDAY NIGHT AT ADAMS COUNTY SPEEDWAY (IL)
Wheatland, Missouri (May 1, 2024) - The Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) returns to action this Sunday, May 5th, with a $5,000 to win "Cinco de Mayo" spectacular at the Adams County Speedway in Quincy, IL. Sunday nights event will be just the third MLRA race of the 2024 season after being plagued by multiple rain outs in the month of April. It will also serve as the season opener for promotors Jim & Tammy Lieurance and family, who return for their third season at the helm of the track formerly known as the Quincy Raceways. The Lucas Oil MLRA will be making their first visit to the ¼ mile slightly banked clay oval since the 2019 race season and just third all-time in series history. In 2019 Oakwood, Illinois driver Bobby Pierce scored the victory in both series visits in Quincy. Gordy Gundaker -- "Bring on the Bullrings" Gordy Gundaker enters Sunday's bullring showdown 5th in MLRA points, as he prepares for his first full season with the series after back-to-back seasons running full time with the World of Outlaws. He will be looking for his first career MLRA victory on a track that he says fits his style. "I think if you asked anybody across the country what my cup of tea was, they would tell you it's bullrings. That has always been my kind of MO, I love the little places where you have to be up on the wheel, you have to be 110% focused in. At a place like that you never know what can happen and you make one mistake and next thing you know you lose two or three spots," explained Gundaker. He describes Adams County as, "A racey joint," and says he expects it to be exactly that come this weekend. "It's fun when you get into lapped traffic, that's how you catch guys. If you don't win your heat race and you start eighth that's how you win a race still, by going to racetracks like that where you get caught in lap traffic and you go from first to fourth or fourth to first in one or two laps." Not only is the St. Charles, MO driver ready for short track season but this weekend will also serve as a homecoming of sorts for Gundaker which will once again allow him to race close to home and in front of some familiar faces. "Quincy is like my second hometown. I played college baseball in Quincy for four years and I've raced there a ton and won a couple of races up there. I've always loved going there, the people are great and it's a great racetrack. It's been reconfigured I feel like five or six times, you know they had banking went to flatter banking, went back to bigger banking and back to flatter banking, so it's changed a bunch but every time you go there it always races really good." Mother nature has plagued the Quincy area this spring like much of the Midwest, but Gundaker notes that he doesn't expect the spring weather conditions to affect the racing on Sunday night. "When this race was put on the schedule I was chomping at the bit because I really like going there. Just like any promotor across the county they are going to give it their very best to give us a great surface to race on. Even with the rain they have had the last few weeks I expect it to be really good and be a normal Quincy." "That place usually gets real slick, has a good bottom, has a very good top, and you can usually race two to three lanes all over it. Even in situations where the weather might bite them a little and it gets a little choppy, it still races good," explained Gundaker. The 2024 season is unlike recent years for Gundaker, as to date he has only recorded four starts thus far compared to the double digit start numbers he had become accustomed to the past couple of seasons. While he acknowledges the lack of racing this spring may have him feeling behind some of the national teams, he feels like his team is still on par with the more regional MLRA teams and capable of contending for the series championship. "I would really love to do this whole thing with MLRA and I don't see why at this point we can't. It's not a super long schedule, the last couple years I have ran an entire national tour. That first night at Wheatland killed us, we had some oil pressure problems that obviously DNF'd us and obviously every lap matters especially when you're in a smaller schedule season. So, we're a little bit behind but I've got really good faith in our program, all of our great sponsors, and our team to get up there and battle for a championship hopefully by the end of the year."

- NIGHT OF DESTRUCTION RETURNS TO PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY SATURDAY AT 7:00
(Perris, CA, April 29, 2024) After two of the wildest shows in track history, "The Craziest Show On Dirt," Night of Destruction presented by LKQ Pick Your Part, returns to Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday, May 4th. The crazy night of family fun, dirt track racing, and lots of wrecks, will begin at 7:00 p.m. Spectator gates at the beautiful Riverside County racing facility will open at 5:00. Saturday's action-packed, thrill-a-minute show will feature daring Figure 8 racing, rough and tumble Democross, no-holds-barred mighty Mini Stocks on the road course, a wild Figure 8 Trailer race, and of course, the zany Double Deckers. They are the same divisions that have opened the season with two of the wildest shows in the track's 28 seasons of racing. Drivers and their teams have been busy in the shop getting the vehicles repaired or building new ones so they can be ready for this Saturday. "Night of Destruction delivers every time," promoter Don Kazarian said. "The start of the season has produced some of the wildest, craziest shows we have ever hosted. We certainly think this Saturday will be just as wild and perhaps even crazier. The crowd loved the first two shows and we think they will be in for another exciting night of action on Saturday. The drivers have been hard at work the past four weeks. In addition to the teams that already started the season, we expect to welcome some new entries as well." "The crowd has responded well to the return of the Figure 8 Trailer races," Kazarian continued. "We dropped them at the start of the 2022 season due to a lack of entries and unimaginative trailers. The drivers asked us to bring them back and they have responded with some extra competitors and some fun trailers. The crowd loves to cheer for the drivers with the most imaginative trailer décor. That is what makes trailer racing so popular. We are glad that the drivers are putting on a trailer race the fans are enjoying." Before the racing begins, all of the drivers and cars will be on the front straightaway from 5:15-5:45. Fans will be allowed to go on the track to meet them, take photos, get autographs, and collect free candy. Second-generation star Earl Cox of Norco, a three-time track Figure 8 champion, has won the first two Figure 8 races of the year and is the point leader. Michael Schattilly of Whittier and Rob Multhaupt Jr of Orange have split the first two Figure 8 Trailer mains of the year and come into Saturday deadlocked for the point lead. Defending Mini Stock champ Kris Martin of Riverside and Steve Green Sr. have one win each in the Mini Stocks. Martin holds a six-point lead over Riverside's Austin Kinnane in the Mini Stock championship chase. In Democross, Hemet's Garrett McCourt and Brett Wayland of Riverside each have a win in 2024, but defending champion Trebor Stephens leads the championship chase. The Hot Diggity Dodge and Bug Ya' Later have captured the season-opening mains in the Double Deckers and are tied for the point lead. Adult tickets for the fast-paced show, crazy that is usually over between 9:30 and 9:45 are $20.00. For kids 6-12 it is only $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking. Advance tickets are available 24 hours a day at tix.com or by calling 1-800-595-4849. If you do not wish to buy advance tickets, no problem at all.

(April 30, 2024) - Lucas Oil Speedway is excited to announce that Nutrien Ag Solutions will again sponsor the pre-race ceremonies and entertainment for this year's Lucas Oil Show-Me 100-presented by Missouri Division of Tourism, May 23-25. Not only will fans get to experience the Diamond of Dirt Tracks and all the amenities the facility has to offer over the course of the three days, but the 32nd annual event will include entertainment on the final night from American Country recording artist Creed Fisher as the Grand Marshal for the event. There also are several new twists to the Show-Me 100 this year. Pre-race festivities will include a Pit Crew Challenge and a Kids' Fishing Tournament on Lake Lucas. That's in addition to the go-kart track open to fans and kids, vendor midway full of t-shirt vendors, food vendors, bounce houses and displays all leading up to the Nutrien Ag Solutions pre-race ceremonies. Opening ceremonies on Saturday, May 25th will honor and recognize the Missouri Division of Tourism and Nutrien Ag representatives as sponsors of the event. In what's an annual highlight of pre-race, the speedway will also honor and recognize the veterans and active military in recognizing Memorial Day as a federal holiday for honoring and mourning the United States military personnel who have died while serving in the Armed Forces. As Grand Marshal, Fisher hits the stage to perform several of his hit songs, along with the National Anthem following the presenting of the colors and the flag. The KC Flight Formation Team out of Kansas City will do a special flyover and mini-air show at the conclusion of the National Anthem. "This year's Show-Me 100 will be a must-attend event for fans as they get to experience all the activities that Lucas Oil Speedway will offer over the three days," said Wayne Castleberry, Corporate Sales and Marketing for Lucas Oil Motorsports. "We are excited about having Creed Fisher this year and cannot thank Nutrien Ag Solutions and Steve Martin enough for all their support of this event. "We want to also use the event to recognize and honor and never forget all the fallen heroes that have served in the military for our great country. These great partners will add to the fan experience and solidify this event as one of the must attend crown jewel events of the year." Fisher is described as country music's "rising Outlaw Country star" encouraging fans "to never lose sight of who you are, where you're from, and never be afraid of working hard to earn an honest living" on his latest album 'This Ain't the Hamptons.'"
