  Kubota High Limit Racing season champ Sweet wins Diamond Classic makeup at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 9, 2024) - Before the final week of action in the The Kubota High Limit Racing season arrived, Brad Sweet already had clinched the season championship. Now he's added a couple of exclamation points to his title while in the Show-Me State. Sweet followed up his Tuesday-night triumph at I-70 Speedway in Odessa with a convincing feature victory on Wednesday at Lucas Oil Speedway's Diamond Classic. The Grass Valley, Calif., Winged Sprint veteran led 31 of 35 laps to earn $25,000 in the makeup of an event rained out at Wheatland on June 29th. "I'm really excited that we got to come back to Lucas Oil and complete the event," Sweet said after his ninth Kubota High Limit Racing feature win of the season. "Thanks to the crowd for coming out on a Wednesday night." Courtney, the Night 1 Diamond Classic winner on June 28 before severe weather wiped out the action the next night, couldn't quite pull off the delayed sweep. The Indianapolis resident said a poor first part of the race left him too much work to do. He settled for $10,000. "I think we were a little bit better here earlier in the year," Courtney said. "We got good at the end of the feature. We went from the pole to sixth or seventh and just had to dig deep. That last yellow, it was nice to start behind Brad, but clean air was a huge factor. They've been on it, really all year. Congrats to Brad and their whole team." Sweet, starting outside Courtney on row one, sprinted to the lead as the green flew and set the pace through four laps, with fourth-starting Ryan Timms running second. A red flag came out after Brent Marks flipped his car on the backstretch to halt the action. Action settled into a rhythm after the restart with Sweet holding on to a narrow lead until lap 10, when Timms took over the lead with an outside pass out of turn two. The 18-year-old Timms had a .069-second lead when action was stopped again on lap 13 as Kerry Madsen hit the wall in turn four. During the caution, Timms pulled into the hot pits to surrender the lead back to Sweet for the restart on lap 14. Timms, winner of the 2023 Hockett-McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway, had a side panel come loose and had to restart at the rear. He eventually rallied to 10th. "We got a little luck there with Ryan," Sweet said. "Sometimes it falls your way. I got control of the race and kind of changed my lines up and tried to carry more speed. "This track's really weird. You think you're gonna slow down and get gripped up, but it doesn't work that way here. Figuring this track out, it's new to a lot of us, but it's a beautiful facility." Sweet needed only three laps to open a 1.5-second lead over Tanner Thorson with Spencer Bayston third. The trio remained in that order until lap 25, when Courtney moved past Bayston for third, with Sweet having opened a two-second lead over Thorson. The second-running Thorson's chances went up in smoke on lap 27 when he slowed, fluid pouring from the motor. That elevated Courtney to second and Bayston to third with eight laps remaining. Sweet had a smooth restart and held off Courtney the rest of the way, earning the victory by .825 seconds. "We slumped in the middle of the season, but we've been strong for a while now," Sweet said. "It's nice to get the wins. The hard work pays off. It's such a grind throughout the year. We're gonna finish the year out strong." Two series races remain, this Friday and Saturday at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track. Bayston wound up third with Corey Day fourth and Kasey Kahne fifth. "We've been clicking them off," Bayston said after his fifth straight top-five High Limit Racing feature finish. "Everything is kind of flowing right now and we're unloading fast. It's been fun. "We had a really good car on that last restart and had the top to myself, but (Courtney) took it away from us but we'll be happy to take home a top-three and continue this streak." Cory Eliason of Visalia, Calif., set the fast qualifying time with a lap of 12.957 seconds, just off the track record of 12.829 set by Rico Abreu on June 29th of this year.

  Chris Simpson earns MLRA Fall Nationals feature as Peyton Taylor bags Super Stocks Big Buck 50 triumph

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 5, 2024) - Chris Simpson's weekend of settling for second-best at the Lucas Oil MLRA Fall Nationals took a positive turn as the veteran Iowa driver found his way to victory lane Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Simpson wrested the lead away from his older brother and MLRA points leader Chris Simpson on lap 19. He held it the rest of the way and went on to claim his second series victory of the season and second career MLRA victory at Lucas Oil Speedway. It was worth $10,000 as the co-headliner with the 8th annual Super Stocks Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt. The return of the Big Buck 50 after a four-year break saw a familiar winner. Peyton Taylor of Batesville, Ark., grabbed the $10,000 victory to go with his Big Buck victories in 2019 and 2020. He took command on lap 15 and led the rest of the way. Taylor also earned a spot in the sold-out Whitetail Trophy Hunt next month in mid-Missouri, which pays $15,000 to win. Chris Simpson capped a weekend of perseverance after finishing runner-up to Ryan Gustin two nights in a row. He said a poor qualifying performance left him displeased and with a lot of work to do, starting the final-nigh feature in eighth. "We love coming here," Simpson said. "I just have to thank all my guys. It's a good way to end it. We've been working hard all year. "I'm missing my daughter's homecoming tonight, but at least I'm bringing 10 grand home," Simpson added. Chad Simpson led in the early going, with a 1.7-second margin by lap 10 over Dustin Hodges and eighth-starting Chris Simpson. Chad Simpson caught lapped traffic by lap 14 and Chris Simpson closed in on his back bumper with Scott third and Tony Jackson Jr. fourth. The first and what would be the only lead change came on lap 19 as Chris Simpson, charging from eighth at the start, took over the top spot coming off turn four. Chris Simpson's lead was 1.2 seconds over Scott when the race's lone caution flew on lap 30 as Gustin - the feature winner the previous two nights - slowed on the front stretch while running 10th. "I don't know what happened to Ryan," Chris Simpson said. "I figured if he finished, he's probably in the top three. It would have been fun to battle it out with him. We both were good all weekend, but to top it off with the $10,000, I'll take it." With a clear track ahead, Chris Simpson took off after the restart to a one-second lead lead over Scott with Chad Simpson another two seconds behind the top duo. Scott rallied to within a half-second with seven to go, with Jackson moving into third. As the race closed under a long green-flag run, Simpson held on and beat Scott by one second. "We feel like we have qualifying figured out, we're trying now what we need on these new cars when the race track dries out on a longer race," Scott said. "Congrats to Chris and them. Hopefully we can come do this agan and get into victory lane." Jackson wound up third with Urbana's Dillon McCowan fourth after starting 16th. Chad Simpson, after leading the first 18 laps, settled for fifth. "We had a good car all weekend, I just can't qualify well here for whatever reason," Jackson said. "A good race track and a fun race track and we had a really good race car." Jackson made some gains in the MLRA championship chase by finishing two spots ahead of Chad Simpson. Jackson now trails Simpson by 75, with Chris Simpson 65 behind his brother, as three series races remain. Hodges set the fast qualifying time with a 14.479-second lap to lead Group A. That was near the track record of 14.443 set by Garrett Alberson on May 23, 2024 on Night 1 of the Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 weekend. Taylor earns another Big Buck 50: A four-year break in between renditions of the Super Stocks Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt didn't alter who went to victory lane, but the route to get there was unique. Peyton Taylor, who won the race in 2019 and 2020, had to use a provisional to get into the field. He drove from 25th and last to start all the way to the lead well before the halfway mark of the 50-lapper. Taylor took command from Terry Schultz on lap 15 and, driving a car borrowed from Jared Neiswander after Taylor's car was plagued by motor issues on both preliminary nights, was never seriously threatened the rest of the way. "To go back to back to back, it's pretty surreal," Taylor said. "Thank you all for bringing this back. This is a special event for a lot of us grassroots racers and I think everybody here had a fun time. "Jared is one of my good buddies and he said, 'man, I ain't racing it, you're racing it.' Thanks to him, his dad, his family and all these great sponsors on this car." Pole-starting Gary Clark led the first three laps before fellow front-row starter Schultz grabbed the top spot on lap four. Tosh moved into second on lap five as Schultz led by 1.6 seconds. Schultz, winner of the inaugural Big Buck 50 in 2014, had a 1.65-second lead over Tosh when action was slowed by a caution on lap nine as Colton Bourland's car caught fire under the rear end. After the restart, Schultz rolled to a 2.3-second lead by lap 14, when another caution flew. But the big news at that point was Taylor's charge from 25th to third. Taylor needed only one more lap to complete his last-to-first run, taking over the lead on lap 15 as Schultz slid all the way back to fourth. As the race continued into its longest green-flag run, Taylor's lead was 2.2 seconds by lap 40 with Tony Anglin running behind J.T. Carroll. As the laps dwindled, Taylor's lead started to shrink until Carroll got hung up in lapped traffic. That helped Taylor increase his margin to 4.7 seconds with two remaining. But the comfortable drive to the checkers became a bit more dramatic when a caution flew just before the white flag was ready to appear. "I talked to God on about every caution, but we had a couple of good conversations on that last yellow," Taylor said. "I've got to give all the glory to God. We're all blessed beyond what we're worth and I can't give enough glory to Him." It didn't matter as Taylor had a flawless restart and went on to finish clear of Carroll by 1.7 seconds. Carroll was disqualified in post-race technical inspection, elevating Derek Brown to second. Anglin was third with Josh Jones fourth and Richie Tosh fifth.

  Gustin does it again at Lucas Oil MLRA Fall Nationals as front of Big Buck 50 field set

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 4, 2024) - Ryan Gustin's domination of the Lucas Oil MLRA Fall Nationals continued on Friday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Gustin, of Marshalltown, Iowa, beat Chris Simpson - just as did on Thursday - to pick up another $5,000 prize. Gustin will go for the sweep on Saturday night with $10,000 at stake while Simpson, and others, try to turn the tables. "This would have been two wins for us if Ryan would have stayed home," 10th-starting Chris Simpson said with a chuckle. "But we'll take it. He's a hell of a racer and he's proven this year that he's the best of the best." Gustin earned his 12th overall feature win of the season and his 12th career Lucas Oil MLRA victory. Half of those MLRA wins have come at Lucas Oil Speedway. Gustin took over the lead from Chad Simpson on lap 13 and dominated the 30-lapper from there, winning by 5.37 seconds over Chris Simpson in a race that had only one caution, on lap seven. "Hats off to everybody that helps out on this deal," Gustin said. "We did some things tonight that we'd never done before and didn't know if it was going to work or not. We figured we might as well see if it works tonight versus trying for $10,000 tomorrow. "We might have went a little bit too far and might back off it just a little bit. The car was good. The Infinity Chassis is on rails the Jay Dickens motor is running smooth." Meanwhile, in the 8th annual Super Stocks Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt portion of the program, heat races and dash races were held to determine the first 16 starting positions for Saturday night's main event. Both the MLRA Late Models and Super Stocks will hold 50-lap, $10,000-to-win features. The Late Models will have a full program with time trials, heat races and B Mains leading into the main event; Super Stocks will run last-chance qualifiers prior to its feature. Pits gates will open at 4 p.m. Saturday with grandstands at 4:30, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. The fourth-starting Gustin took over second from Stormy Scott on lap three and was a half-second behind early leader, pole-starting Chad Simpson as the Late Model action got going. Sailing around the oval on the high side, Simpson led by .425 seconds over Gustin when caution flew on lap seven after Payton Looney walloped the wall in turn four while running fifth. As action resumed, Chad Simpson regained his modest margin over Gustin with sixth-starting Tyler Kuykendall up to third. Gustin nearly took the lead on lap 11 with a daring slider in turns three and four, but wound up having to regroup. "He was good," Gustin said of Chad Simpson. "I about put it through the fence there with that slider. I didn't know if it was gonna stick or not, but it did." Gustin finally took over the lead on lap 13, going past Simpson on the inside of turn two when the race-long leader slipped a bit high. Once in front, it didn't take Gustin long to drive away. He opened a three-second lead by lap 18 and, with the race remaining caution-free, was clear by 4.059 seconds by lap 25. Gustin kept pouring it on to outdistance Chris Simpson by nearly a straightaway by the finish with Chad Simpson falling back to third. "When your car is that good, it makes it easy as the driver," Gustin said. Chad Simpson enjoyed a solid points night with his third-place finish. Justin Wells was fourth and Kuykendall fifth. "It's way better than probably the last five races we've had," Chad Simpson said. "We're getting our stride back. We're getting closer, but still just a tick off. Ryan comes in here and he's one of the best out there right now. We're close. We're not far off." Chad Simpson was able to increase his points lead from 55 points to 90 in the MLRA title chase over Tony Jackson Jr., who was ninth. There are four series races remaining as Chad Simpson seeks his third straight championship and fifth overall. Stormy Scott of Las Cruces, N.M., set fast overall qualifying time for the second straight night. He led Group B with a time of 15.318 seconds. Scott would up seventh in the feature. Clark, Schultz earn front-row spots for Big Buck 50 feature: Gary Clark of Walker, Mo., and Terry Schultz of Sedalia nailed down front-row starting positions for the Super Stocks Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt main event. Clark captured the Steve Scott Concrete Dash, featuring first and second-place finishers from the first four heat races held on Friday. Clark's win over Jacob Rexing earned him the inside starting spot on row one. In the Lucas Oil Speedway Dash, with the top two finishers from heats 5-through-8, Schultz outran Richie Tosh to the win to nail down the outside spot of row one. Schultz won the inaugural Big Buck 50 in 2014. All 16 of the dash drivers clinched spots in the starting field of the $10,000-to-win, 50-lap feature on Saturday. Four B-Features will determine the final starters in the Big Buck main event. Past Big Buck 50 winners: 2020 - Peyton Taylor, Batesville, Ark. 2019 - Peyton Taylor, Batesville, Ark. 2018 - Rained out 2017 - Tony Anglin, Walnut Ridge, Ark. 2016 - Tim Brown, Stoutland, Mo. 2015 - Jeremy Russell, Jonesboro, Ark. 2014 - Terry Schultz, Warrensburg, Mo.

  Gustin outduels Chris Simpson for Night 1 victory at MLRA Fall Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 3, 2024) - Ryan Gustin regained the lead for good on lap 21 and held off Chris Simpson over the final nine laps to find victory lane Thursday night in the Lucas Oil Speedway Fall Nationals opener at Lucas Oil Speedway. Gustin, of Marshalltown, Iowa, picked up $5,000 for his 11th career MLRA feature win, five of which have come at Lucas Oil Speedway. He beat Simpson, of Oxford, Iowa, by half a second with local weekly track champion Justin Wells of Aurora improving 10 positions to capture third. "It's a love-hate relationship here," Gustin said of his Lucas Oil Speedway MLRA history. "Sometimes we're almost unstoppable here and other times we don't make the show. Hopefully, we can just keep it rolling and be here the rest of the weekend." The 8th annual Super Stocks Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt also got going Thursday night with practice and time trials to set the lineup for heat races and two dash races on Friday night. The MLRA also will have another full program on Friday, paying $5,000 to win. Both divisions will wrap things up Saturday night with 50-lap, $10,000-to-win main events. From the start of the MLRA feature, it was a battle between Gustin and Simpson. As the green flag flefw, Simpson led the opening lap, but inside front-row starter Jon Binning spun in turn two of lap two for the race's first caution. Several cars dodged Binning in what could have been a multi-car incident. The restart saw Simpson off and running to a 1.1-second lead over Gustin by lap five with Stormy Scott third. The fourth-starting Gustin started to cut into the margin and was right behind Simpson by lap eight when the second caution appeared for a Jeff Herzog spin. Gustin fired strong on the restart and took to the high side and was able to clear Simpson for the lead coming off turn two on lap 11. Simpson battled back on the inside and the two raced side by side for the next three laps before Gustin edged out to a three-car-length lead. Simpson trailed by a half-second when the third caution waved on lap 16 as Chad Simpson, the MLRA championship leader, spun in turn two as he was running eighth. Chris Simpson regained the top spot on lap 20, but Gustin went right back around him on the outside the next time around. That would be the final lead change as those two pulled away from the field as action remained green the rest of the way. "I seen (Simpson's) signal guy move him down, so I figured we were just gonna crack the whip and run the cushion and hope for the best," Gustin said. "It all worked out." "Ryan was below me and I was like if Ryan's good down there then I can be really good down there," Simpson said. "I moved down on that restart, but I probably should have run that top one lap, just to stop him from getting a run." Gustin desperately held on as the duo dealt with lapped cars on the final lap. Simpson's momentum was stopped entering turn three by a slower car. "Either way it was a good race," Simpson said. "I was a little better than him in (turns) three and four. I think we might have had something on that last lap, but (a car) was in the way. But we'll take it. It's a three-night weekend. To get second tonight is still a good night for us." Gustin prevailed by two car lengths as the pivotal weekend in the MLRA championship chase began. Chris Simpson began the action third in points, 200 behind the leader, his brother Chad Simpson who settled for 14th after his spin. Chad Simpson unofficially leads Tony Jackson Jr. by 55 and Chris Simpson by 130 with five series races remaining. Wells, the Lucas Oil Speedway Weekly Series Late Model champ, finished four seconds back in third. Wells beat Stormy Scott and Jackson, who were fourth and fifth. Afterward, Wells told a story about running an MLRA race at Lucas Oil Speedway shortly after the track opened nearly 20 years ago. He led most of it before being passed late by Rex McCroskey, a two-time MLRA series champ, who died over the weekend. "I led that thing almost to the end and No. 64 passed me," said Wells, who had a small No. 64 in blue over his larger, yellow No. 49 on his race car as a tribute to McCroskey. "I just want to say, 'Rex, thanks for being a good guy. We're gonna miss you.' He was a good racer." Stormy Scott of Las Cruces, N.M., set fast overall qualifying time with a 14.793 on Group A. Chris Simpson's 15.155 paced Group B. In the Super Stocks qualifying, both top qualifiers in the respective groups hail from Jonesboro, Ark. Jeremy Russell paced Group A with a lap time of 19.478 seconds and Jared Hays led Group B with the fast time overall at 19.130. Sixty-three Super Stocks posted qualifying laps on Thursday night in the renewal of the Big Buck, which last was held in 2020.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Army vet Welschmeyer hitting his stride as Big Buck 50 renewal arrives

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 1, 2024) - Ted Welschmeyer got a later start on his racing career than most, sitting behind the wheel of his first race car at the age of 28 after a stint in the United States Army. "Growing up as a kid … I always wanted to do it. It just took me a long time to get there," Welschmeyer said of driving a race car. "I didn't have the money or backing. I finally just decided that I was gonna go racing. "We started at California (Double X Speedway) and we had to borrow a truck and trailer every weekend to go. But you either decide to do it or you don't." Now a quarter of a century later, Welschmeyer is having the best season of his career. The residence of Tebbetts in central Missouri, near Jefferson City, recently clinched the POWRi Super Stocks points championship with a second straight track championship at Callaway Raceway. "I"m very blessed over the last 24 years to have a lot of people help me and a wife (Vickie) who's every understanding, who lets me put a lot of time and money into this," Welschmeyer said. "I'm just a very blessed guy." Welschmeyer, 53, will be one to keep an eye on this week at the 8th annual Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt returns to Lucas Oil Speedway. The Big Buck will be run Thursday through Saturday, in conjunction with the Lucas Oil MLRA Fall Nationals. Both divisions will wrap things up Saturday night with 50-lap, $10,000-to-win main events. Like others, Welschmeyer was thrilled with the announcement that the Big Buck 50 was returning after its popular run ended in 2020. Since that time, Welschmeyer had made tremendous strides, especially the last two years, with him home-built Super Stock chassis. While he had a pair of top-10 finishes in past Big Buck 50s, Welschmeyer said a key to his recent success in the division has been from the research and development side. "We've gone to some chassis seminars with KR Promotions and Scotty Allen," he said. "We've learned a lot. We're running the car we built three years ago and applied some of the stuff we've learned, just trying to educate ourselves better and it's paid off tremendously." At the Full Fender Challenge at Lucas Oil Speedway in mid-August, Welschmeyer didn't have the run he wanted, finishing 12th in the feature that combined the Super Stocks with USRA Stock Cars. He had a 10th-place run in the Super Stocks main event. Neither finish was anything to brag about, but Welschmeyer came away with some knowledge of how to improve in October. "We had a different motor and we geared it a little different," Welschmeyer said of the August event. "This motor doesn't make quite the torque that the other one did. We learned that we have to change our gearing. It was every educational. We ended up making both features, so it was good. There was some stiff competition there that weekend." While he's raced most seasons since 2000, Welschmeyer was taken off track by a couple of tours in Iraq while he remained in the Army Reserves after retiring from full-time Army duty. But now he's not only racing, but succeeding with 10 overall feature wins this season. He's helped in his racing pursuits by by long-time crew members Madison Oligschlaegar and Matt Oliver.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Army vet Welschmeyer hitting his stride as Big Buck 50 renewal arrives

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 1, 2024) - Ted Welschmeyer got a later start on his racing career than most, sitting behind the wheel of his first race car at the age of 28 after a stint in the United States Army. "Growing up as a kid … I always wanted to do it. It just took me a long time to get there," Welschmeyer said of driving a race car. "I didn't have the money or backing. I finally just decided that I was gonna go racing. "We started at California (Double X Speedway) and we had to borrow a truck and trailer every weekend to go. But you either decide to do it or you don't." Now a quarter of a century later, Welschmeyer is having the best season of his career. The residence of Tebbetts in central Missouri, near Jefferson City, recently clinched the POWRi Super Stocks points championship with a second straight track championship at Callaway Raceway. "I"m very blessed over the last 24 years to have a lot of people help me and a wife (Vickie) who's every understanding, who lets me put a lot of time and money into this," Welschmeyer said. "I'm just a very blessed guy." Welschmeyer, 53, will be one to keep an eye on this week at the 8th annual Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt returns to Lucas Oil Speedway. The Big Buck will be run Thursday through Saturday, in conjunction with the Lucas Oil MLRA Fall Nationals. Both divisions will wrap things up Saturday night with 50-lap, $10,000-to-win main events. Like others, Welschmeyer was thrilled with the announcement that the Big Buck 50 was returning after its popular run ended in 2020. Since that time, Welschmeyer had made tremendous strides, especially the last two years, with him home-built Super Stock chassis. While he had a pair of top-10 finishes in past Big Buck 50s, Welschmeyer said a key to his recent success in the division has been from the research and development side.

  Joe Chisholm captures top prize as Summit USRA Nationals conclude at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 21, 2024) - Four nights of racing culminated with championship features in five divisions at Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday night, with the Summit USRA Nationals hitting the finish line. The big winner was young Iowa driver Joe Chisholm, who took command late in the USRA Modified feature and went on to capture the top prize of $4,000. Other winners were Jon Sheets in USRA B-Mods, Josh Cain in USRA Stock Cars, Oliver Monson in USRA Tuners and Jeremy Crimmins for the USRA Hobby Stocks. Ninth-starting Chisholm of Osage, Iowa, seized the lead on lap 39 and drove away after a restart. He beat J.T. Wasmund and Nic Bidinger for the biggest victory of his rookie USRA Modified season. Chisholm, 18, earned $4,000 for feature win No. 12 in 2024. He took the lead when dueling with USRA Modified national points leader Tyler Wolff as Wolff spun after he drifted too high in turn two. Patience was a game plan for Chisholm, in his first season driving Modifieds. He hoped to save tire wear by running the low side of the track and gradually advance toward the front. "In my mind I was like 'I've got to save' and I knew people were gonna start losing tires up top and it was gonna eat 'em hard," Chisholm said. "I just had to keep running the bottom and told myself 'just be patient, just be patient.' I started running lower than everybody else and I could keep (passing) one car at a time." Bidinger took the lead on lap two and Wolff was dueling with him for the spot by lap five. Two laps later, Wolff roared to the front with a high-side pass around turn four. It didn't take long for Wolff to open up a 1.3-second lead just 10 circuits into the 50-lapper. The leaders caught lapped traffic by lap 12 and Wolff was able to keep his lead at just over a second as a lengthy green-flag run continued. Caution on lap 16 would wipe out Wolff's 1.28-second lead over Bidinger, with Kyle Brown third and Joe Chisholm fourth. Wolff blasted away on the restart to lead by more than a second in just two laps over Bidinger with Chisholm taking over third. Chisholm's charge continued as he sailed around the outside of Bidinger on lap 22, but Wolff was still well ahead with a 1.4-second command at the halfway point on lap 25. As the top duo navigated lapped traffic, Chisholm cut the deficit to one-half second by lap 35, while it was another five seconds back to third-running Bidinger. Wolff took to the high side in an effort to fend off Chisholm, but that's when disaster struck the man who led 35 laps. Wolff spun in turn two when he got over the cushion and headed for the pits for a tire change. That gave Chisholm the top spot over Bidinger and J.T. Wasmund with 11 to go. "I started hitting my marks and was slowly reeling him in," Chisholm said. "I drove a little hard to show my nose just to fluster him a little bit. I'm not sure what happened in turn two, but it was fixing to be a good race," Chisholm said. "It's been a really good year. Win or lose, I'm happy to be standing here. I've had some terrible luck here and I've brought that on myself. I forced some issues the past couple of nights and put myself in a position I shouldn't have been. Starting ninth wasn't too bad. You just have to look at the positive." Chisholm dominated after the restart, opening a three-second command by lap 45. He took it home from there, finishing 4.45 seconds over Wasmund with Bidinger third, Henry Chambers fourth and Al Hejna fifth. Sheets captures USRA B-Mods feature: Jon Sheets of Nevada made the decisive pass with 11 laps remaining and went on to beat Cody King for the $2,500 USRA B-Mod feature win. Sheets tracked King for most of the first 20 laps before making the inside groove work to take over on lap 24. King took the lead away from Franklin on lap two and rolled out to a 1.2-second lead by lap five. The first caution came out on lap nine, with King maintaining a one-second margin over Sheets with Morton up to third. As green-flag action resumed, Sheets closed in on King but was not able to pull alongside. Meanwhile, Colson Kirk moved into third, 2.3 seconds behind the leader. Sheets moved to the low side at about lap 20 and was able to pull alongside the lead and then make a pass coming to the start-finish line on lap 24. Those two drivers, who won preliminary night features, were well clear of the rest of the field. Sheets soon began to pull away during the long green-flag run. He opened a 1.5-second command by lap 30 and held on over the final five laps and beat King by 1.6 seconds as the checkers flew. Sheets said patience and taking care of tires was a key to the outcome. "That's a 35-lap race. I didn't cut up a right-rear too aggressive because it was a longer race and this place is hard on tires," Sheets said. "I didn't fire that great, but I knew if we could keep him in check we could probably reel him back in because that tire was gonna fire mid-race. Boy, it did. I could feel it come in and the car was really good." Morton finished third with Kirk fourth and Bobby Williams fifth. Cain hangs on in USRA Stock Cars: Josh Cain of Rio Rancho, N.M., took the lead five laps into the USRA Stock Cars feature and held it the rest of the way, claiming the $3,000 victory with his 34th feature win of the season. "It's been a great year. It's one of those years," said Cain, the USRA Stock Cars national points leader. "Some people don't ever get the opportunity to win a race, let alone do what we do every weekend. We're very fortunate. It's just one of those years." Cain grabbed the lead away from Jaylen Wettengel on lap five, diving to the inside for the pass out of turn four. It didn't take him long to open a 1.2-second lead, but a lap-eight caution took away his advantage. Jeremy Vaughn took second away from Wettengel on lap 10 and Cain led by 1.4 seconds when action slowed again on lap 11 with a yellow flag. With the race finally getting into some rhythm with green-flag action, Cain stretched his lead to 1.8 seconds by the midway point on lap 20. Cain was trying to turn the race into a runaway, extending his lead to 2.77 seconds by lap 23. That's when Jaylen Wettengel and Johnny Fennewald, batting in the top five, got together and spun entering turn three. Five more laps were run after the restart before another caution. This time, Cain had a 1.6-second lead over Vaughn with Waylon Dimmitt, Brandon Hare and Wettengel dueling for third. Vaughn made a run at Cain on lap 30, but Cain was able to hold on as he continued the drive the extreme low groove. Debris brought out a lap-33 caution, with Cain holding a .887-second lead. Cain handled the restart and held on the rest of the way, beating Dimmitt and Vaughn. The hard-charging Doug Keller advanced from 22nd to fourth and Pat Graham was fifth. "I didn't feel very good," Cain said. "I just got to the lead early enough and once I got there I kind of just stomped on the bottom. I could get off the corner a little bit better. They were out there in the rubber pushing hard, but I think they may have done it too early and got their tires burned up. Mine still look brand new." USRA Tuners win goes to Monson: Oliver Monson of Thornton, Iowa, dominated from start to finish in capturing the USRA Tuners feature. Monson earned $500 for the win. Monson led from the start and had a commanding three-second lead over Leasure when caution flew on lap 13. When action resumed, Monson was able to re-establish his comfortable margin as the laps dwindled. Monson took the checkers 3.3 seconds in front of Leasure with Cale Hancock third, Dustin Reeves fourth and Shawn Brownlee fifth. "Down here I always have good runs and 90 percent of the time I screw it up myself," Monson said. "I felt comfortable. I saw on the board that I had a good lead and just tried to keep calm and it worked out." Crimmins takes USRA Hobby Stocks victory: Jeremy Crimmins of Fort Dodge, Iowa, led the final 28 laps, holding off Bryce Sommerfeld over the final five laps, for the USRA Hobby Stocks feature win. Crimmins, who earned $1,200, moved to the lead on lap three after Kolby Goepel showed the way the first two times around. Crimmins opened a two-second lead by lap nine with Scott Dobel having taken over second. The leader's margin was up to 3.2 seconds when a caution appeared on lap 14. Gulbrandson advanced into second on lap 16 and started to give chase of Crimmins. The leader was cruising with a 1.9-second command when a debris caution flew on lap 25, leaving Gulbrandson and others five laps to chase down Crimmins. No one could catch him and Crimmins held off Sommerfeld for a .282-second victory. Gulbrandson finished third with Dobel fourth and Chris Hovden fifth. "I love the jumbo tron. Every once in a while I'd catch my car going down the backstretch and see the lead," Crimmins said. "The quality of cars here, the top 10 of these guys, if you can run with these guys - it was a pretty good week."

  Bubak and Doney the big winners as 14th annual Hockett-McMillin Memorial concludes at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 14, 2024) - A pair of first-time champions celebrated feature victories Saturday night at the 14th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway. Jake Bubak emerged from an early three-car battle, wound up leading 24 of 25 laps and held off a late charge from Scott Bogucki to capture the POWRi 410 Sprint feature. Meanwhile, Xavier Doney made the leap from race runner-up a year ago into victory lane in the POWRi WAR Sprint division. "This is really special," Bubak said. "The Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial is a big one, probably the biggest memorial race in sprint cars." The Hockett-McMillin Memorial pays tribute to the legacy of Jesse Hockett of Warsaw, Mo., who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006. Bubak, of Arvada, Colo., scored his fifth career POWRi 410 feature victory and his first Hockett-Memorial trophy - plus a check for $10,000. He also was the winner in Friday night's preliminary feature, which was worth $3,000. Bubak started on the pole and led the opening laps with Ayrton Gennetten close behind as Aaron Reutzel ran third. Reutzel advanced into second on lap six before Gennetten regained the spot the next time around. With the top three separated by less than a half-second, Reutzel grabbed the lead on lap nine with an outside pass out of turn four, but Bubak took it back a lap later just before the race's first caution came out. "That was pretty fun racing with Ayrton and Aaron," Bubak said. "I appreciate Aaron giving me a lane there. He raced me really clean. That was really cool and a lof of fun." Bubak took off after the restart and needed just two laps to open a 1.8-second advantage over Gennetten with Reutzel third and in Bogucki fourth. Bubak continued to expand his cushion and it was 2.5 seconds by lap 20. "That restart was good timing," Bubak said. "I guess (Reutzel) didn't beat me to the line, so I got to be the leader and choose where I wanted. We restarted and he just showed me I had to run a little harder in (turns) three and four. I started to run really hard up there and the car got better." The aggressive driving paid off as Bubak was able to build a sizeable lead with the laps winding down. "I think I was just being too conservative knowing this place is so hard on tires and I definitely killed these tires ... but I was gonna go for it," Bubak said. "I just ran as hard as I could up there." Bogucki, of Mclaren Vale, South Australia, was on the move and roared into second by lap 21, but was still nearly two seconds behind Bubak with time running out. I turned out that Bogucki needed another lap or two. Bubak was able to hold off the hard-charging Bogucki, winning by .693 seconds at the checkers as fireworks exploded over the infield. "We were a little snug around the top side," Bogucki said. "Ayrton and Aaron could get up there and free up and Jake as well. I just committed to the bottom and I think I made one and two wider and it was making my entry easier. "As long as I was running them down, I wasn't moving. It's great to be here. A great place, great facility and always a good time." Reutzel wound up third with Thursday-night preliminary feature winner Gennetten fourth and Joe B. Miller fifth. Doney prevails for POWRi WAR victory: One year after finishing as the runner-up and with some other near-misses in this race, Xavier Doney of Odessa, Mo., was able to get it done in the wingless portion of the Hockett-McMillin Memorial. Doney took over the lead with 10 laps remaining and held off Jesse Vermillion of Greencastle, Ind., in a three-lap shootout after a late-race restart, to earn the $4,077 victory. "I'll be waking up (Sunday) and pinching myself, making sure this isn't a dream," the 18-year-old Doney said after his seventh win of the season - but undoubtedly the biggest of his young sprint-car career. "It really feels amazing," Doney added. "I guess the fifth time is the charm. It's the fifth race here and finally winning the Hockett, one of the biggest races in Missouri every year. It's a really special one to win." One of a handful of drivers pulling double duty, Doney finished eighth in the 410 feature. In the WAR division, he was the third and final leader of the 25-lapper that saw several contenders suffer misfortune. Chase Howard, starting on the outside of row one, grabbed the early lead. Howard already had a three-second lead over defending race winner Ricky Lewis when a red flag stopped the action on lap two as former Hockett-McMillin race winner Wesley Smith jumped the cushion and rolled his car in turn three and Anthony Nicholson had a rollover in turn two. A strong restart by Howard kept him in the lead, but trouble struck on lap six as Howard's motor went up in flames entering turn one. Kobe Simpson, a half-second behind Howard at that point, inherited the lead with Lewis third and Doney fourth. The third-starting Simpson got away after the restart to open a nearly one-second lead over Lewis by lap 10. Doney moved around Lewis on the low side of turn four and into second on lap 12 and began to pursue Simpson. Just three laps later, the sixth-starting Doney took over the top spot with an inside pass off turn two. Doney said the low groove is one he patiently waited to make work to his advantage. "I kind of scouted (the bottom) out during hot laps," Doney said. "Pretty much everywhere was quick in hot laps, except the bottom because the grease was there. I knew it would come in during this race and I stuck to the bottom and managed to get by the guys who were throwing slide jobs." Vermillion, who started 17th, moved into second on a lap-17 restart and Doney fought him off for the lead over the next several laps. Doney's lead was .375 seconds over Vermillion when a caution flew on lap 22 as eighth-place Riley Kreisel spun in turn two. That set up a three-lap shootout for the win. Before the field could complete a lap, Lewis took a wild flip between turns one and two. Lewis, who had charged back into the top 10 after changing the flat tire earlier, walked away from the wild ride which ended his chance for a repeat. Doney was able to take it home from there as he beat Vermillion by .554 seconds at the finish. Simpson was third with Shawn Westerfield fourth and Kyle Shipley in fifth. "We had the car set-up this time," Vermillion said. "I made up a lot of spots. You have to start top 10 to win these usually and I actually had a shot. I knew (Doney) would have to make a mistake off the bottom for me to get there. "I screwed up on the last restart and he got me a little bit. That kind of sealed the deal."

  Bubak and Howard pick up Night 2 Hockett-McMillin Memorial feature victories at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 13, 2024) - Night 2 of the 14th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial saw Jake Bubak and Chase Howard both score come-from-behind feature victories at Lucas Oil Speedway. Bubak, of Arvado, Colo., chased down race-long leader Jace Park with two laps remaining to score a thrilling win in the POWRi 410 Sprints. Earlier, Howard took command just past the midpoint and went on to grab the POWRi WAR feature for non-winged sprints. Drivers used the action on Thursday and Friday nights to accumulate points for Saturday night's championship round. The POWRi 410 winged feature winner will collect $10,000 with the WAR drivers chasing a $3,077 prize. The Hockett-McMillin Memorial pays tribute to the legacy of Jesse Hockett, who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006. If the 410 winged feature on Friday is any indication, the final night ought to be a classic. Park, of Overland Park, Kan., appeared to be a lopsided winner as he built a big lead with only a handful of laps remaining. But Bubak, who started sixth, came charging to steal the $3,000 win. His winning pass after a lap 23 restart and just after a previous pass for the lead was wiped out as a caution flew before the lap was completed. "That was a bummer," Bubak said of having to go back to second and do it all over again. "But I kind of found the top there right before the yellow and knew it was there, so I just committed to it. "I'm happy to be in victory lane. I really wanted to win that one. We're happy to be here and I love this track and this facility." Park was the driver to beat most of the way. He out-sprinted fellow front-row starter Chase Randall for the lead at the start and those two stayed nose-to-tail through eight laps. They were staging a tremendous battle for the lead on lap nine, but as Randall was trying to complete the pass he drifted too high, got into the cushion and flipped his car in turn four. Park quickly opened a 1.7-second lead after the restart over Noah Gass with Bubak lurking in third. But Park kept pouring it on, extending the gap to 3.2 seconds by lap 17, as Bubak got around Gass for the runner-up spot. Bubak started to immediately cut into Park's margin, pulling within .668 seconds with four circuits remaining as the two battled each other and lapped traffic. Bubak made the pass the next time around on the backstretch, but the caution came out for a spinning car in turn four. With scoring reverting to the last completed lap, Park was scored the leader over Bubak with Gass in third for a final restart. Bubak made the winning move on the outside heading down the backstretch on lap 24. "It was big," he said of the momentum preceding his winning pass. "I had it the lap before and he opened his entry up enough that I had to hit the brakes and try it again the next lap." Bubak held on from there to beat Park by .847 seconds. "I knew after that restart that Jake had something going for him when he showed his nose," Park said. "I kind of got saved by the bell when that caution came out." Gass wound up third with Joe B. Miller fourth and Scott Bogucki fifth. Howard roars to POWRi WAR win: Chase Howard roared to the lead after a restart on lap 14 and rolled from there, capturing his second career POWRi WAR victory as he beat Kobe Simpson. Howard, a 20-year-old from Nesbit, Mississippi., scored his sixth overall victory of the season and second in the POWRi WAR Sprints. He earned $2,000 for the victory and set himself up for a prime starting spot for Saturday's feature. "I didn't think I was gonna catch Kobe for a minute, but he chose the outside and the bottom came in," Howard said of the key restart. "I just got lucky, because I sure don't have the motor to be competing on this track." It didn't take long for Howard, who started 10th, to make his way into contention in a race that was filled with cautions the first half of the way. Xavier Doney got the good start from his outside front-row starting spot and took the early lead, a half-second in front of Simpson when the caution flew on lap five. Simpson used the restart to shoot to the lead on lap six with Howard second and Doney shuffled to third before another caution waved. After they rolled to green again, Simpson had a .603-second advantage over Howard when the event's third caution came out on lap 10. Simpson again opted to restart on the outside, which had been the fast line for him, but the start was negated with a red flag for a five-car accident on the backstretch. Simpson opened a race-high one-second lead by lap 13 when another red came out as Keith Martin's car took a wild tumble between turns one and two. He emerged from the damaged car unhurt. This time on the restart, Howard got a great jump and squeezed past Simpson on the inside out of turn four to grab the lead on lap 14. "He was running a really good line the entire time," Howard said. "If he had picked the bottom, he could have probably blocked it. But that's how the choose cone works." Howard was able to extend his lead to 1.2 seconds by lap 20 as the race finally settled into a rhythm after the five previous stoppages. Howard drove away to beat Simpson by 1.9 seconds at the finish. "He kind of outsmarted and all-around got me on that last restart," Simpson said. "But all-around it was a good night. I could have done a few things better throughout the race, but I'll take this down as a good run." Doney settled for third with Shawn Westerfield fourth and Mario Clouser finishing fifth.

  Gennetten, Lewis earn opening-night wins in 14th annual Hockett-McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 12, 2024) - Ayrton Gennetten and Ricky Lewis drove to feature victories on Thursday night at Lucas Oil Speedway as the 14th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial opened its three-night run. Gennetten, of Versailles, Mo., led all 25 laps to beat Aaron Ruezel for the POWRi 410 Sprint victory, worth $3,000. It was the fifth series feature win of the season for the defending POWRi 410 Sprint Series. Lewis, the reigning champ of the event in the POWRi WAR Sprint division, led the final 11 laps to score his victory in the wingless portion as one of the nation's premier open-wheel weekends got underway. The Hockett-McMillin Memorial recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006. Gennetten was able to overcome three late restarts that wiped out sizable leads to not only win, but collect valuable points toward Saturday night's $10,000-to-win 410 feature starting field. "I've been rolling pretty good here of late and got the opportunity to drive a great piece of machinery here with Ryan and Ashley Heidbreder's car," Gennetten said. "I have a lot of good people who are behind me." Gennetten started up front and opened a 1.5-second lead just three laps into the feature over sixth-starting Reutzel with Kyle Jones third. The top three remained unchanged through 10 laps with Gennetten sitting a half-second in front. As the leaders caught lapped traffic in a caution-free event to that point, Gennetten was able to regain a bit of breathing room over Reutzel and Jones as Joe B. Miller settled into fourth. Gennetten continued to excel in getting around slower cars and his gap jumped to 1.5 seconds by lap 17. One circuit later, the first caution flew as Zach Hampton came to a stop atop turn two. That first yellow wiped away Gennetten's 1.3-second lead and gave new life to Reutzel, Jones, Miller and fifth-running Jamie Ball with seven laps remaining. Gennetten had a flawless restart and rolled to a 1.4-second lead in just a lap. But another yellow on lap 20 as Blake Hahn's car slow in turn two blunted the leader's march. But that proved only temporary as Gennetten again proved dominant over the final five laps. Ball grabbed second on lap 21, but as Gennetten built a race-best 2.8-second lead another caution flew with three to go. It again proved to be no problem for the leader as Gennetten went on to beat Reutzel by 2.1 seconds at the finish. Gennetten, in his victory lane interview, was not particularly happy with the flurry of late cautions. "Luckily we were able to hold on and it sets us up good for tomorrow. We're fast and hopefully we can capitalize the rest of the week," Gennetten said. Reutzel said his car was strong, but not strong enough to stay up with the winner. "They were good," Reutzel said of Gennetten. "We got to second so quick that I was trying to bide my time and not destroy my tires like I did in the heat race. I needed some thick lapped traffic to have a shot at him. It wasn't meant to be tonight." Miller wound up third with Ball fourth and Scott Bogucki fifth. Lewis earns POWRi WAR Sprints win: The defending champ of the POWRi WAR Sprint portion of the Hockett-McMillin Memorial got his weekend off to a rousing start by dominating the second half of the 25-lapper. Ricky Lewis of Camarillo, Calif., grabbed the lead on lap 14 and outdisanced Riley Kreisel for the $2,000 POWRi WAR victory. The non-wing field is split into programs on Thursday and Friday with finishes helping determine the starting lineup for Saturday's finale. Wesley Smith of Nixa, Mo., appeared to be the car to beat for the first half of the race. Smith grabbed the lead at the start and opened up a 1.3-second command by lap five as four cars battled for the runner-up position. A lap later, Jack Wagner moved into second place but stayed there for just one circuit before he rolled to a stop in turn two with a flat right rear tire. On the restart, Wyatt Burks briefly passed Smith in turn two before Smith regained the point down the backstretch. But on lap 14, third-starting Lewis took the top spot away from Smith coming off turn two - just before the race's fifth caution flew for a car that rolled to a stop in turn one. Burks used the restart to move into second in front of Smith as Lewis set the pace up front. Smith rallied back into second on lap 18, but found himself one second behind Lewis with just seven laps to go. Smith sliced the margin to a half second by lap 20 and was within a car length two laps later with Burks also in the mix. But on lap 23, Smith got into turn one too hard and spun. He was able to keep going and the race stayed green. That was all Lewis needed to pull away to finish 3.4 seconds in front of Kreisel at the checkers. Burks finished third with Kyle Jones fourth and Smith fifth. "Me and Wesley had a pretty good battle," Lewis said of the middle portion of the event as he moved to the front. "I know I sent it in pretty deep, but I know I'm racing again really good guys and they can adapt as I would do the same. Shout-out to Wesley, I love racing with him. We don't get to race against each other often, but when we do it's a blast. "The race track was racy so you could race anywhere. That's what you fans like to see."

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Wing or not, Doney looks to keep rising at 14th annual Hockett-McMillin Memorial

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 10, 2024) - One of the rising prospects of sprint-car racing is far too young to have seen Jesse Hockett impress in both the winged and wingless divisions of the sport. But Xavier Doney has heard plenty of stories about his fellow Missourian. Doney, an 18-year-old from Odessa, said one of his favorites is the one about Hockett starting a feature from tailback - apparently on a dare - at Double X Speedway in California, Mo. He drove around the field and into victory lane just making the paycheck and trophy celebration sweeter. And moreover, it didn't seem to matter which variety of sprint car Hockett drove prior to his passing at the age of 29. "I know he raced wing and non-wing and was good in both," Doney said of Hockett, who was from Warsaw. This week's 14th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial offers Doney an opportunity to pay tribute to Hockett in the ultimate way. Doney, too, drives both styles of sprint cars with skill and will be one to watch in both the POWRi 410 Sprints and POWRi WAR in three nights of action starting on Thursday. The Hockett-McMillin Memorial recognizes the legacy of Hockett, who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006. "I think it's a really cool event that honors Jesse Hockett and Daniel McMillin. It's one of the biggest events in the Midwest all year long," Doney said. "Lots of cars, lots of good, hard racing. This year they have the 410s which I'm excited to run that, because we've been fast there in the past with the wing on." Just last month at Lucas Oil Speedway, Doney drove to victory lane in his winged 410 at the POWRi Summer Thunder. He set fast qualifying time and led all 30 laps of the feature, holding off Ayrton Gennetten in the late going, for the $5,000 prize. This week, the stakes are higher. Preliminary-night features for the 410s will pay $3,000 to win Thursday and Friday before the $10,000 finale on Saturday. Meanwhile, Doney also will have his wingless sprint ready. He's finished second in that portion of the Hockett twice, including one year ago. There's a definite boost of confidence after the recent success, plus an eye-opening showing earlier in the summer as the Kubota High Limit series visited Lucas Oil Speedway. "At the High Limit race I ran fourth quick the second night in qualifying and unfortunately it got rained out," Doney said. "I know that I'm fast at Wheatland in the wing and non-wing, I just haven't got it done in the non-wing yet. We were second last year and second three years ago. So we just haven't quite been able to pull it off." Doney began racing quarter midgets when he was 6. He explains his fascination with the open-wheel style of racing began when the family went to a car show in Kansas City for his sixth birthday. Prior to that, it was made clear that he would not follow his dad's racing path. "My dad (Mike Doney) raced hare scrambles before I was born, on dirt bikes," Xavier said. "My mom thought dirt bikes were too dangerous. We went to World of Wheels show and had to take an elevator because they didn't allow strollers up the escalators and my little sister was with us. We went in the elevator and went up to the main floor of the car show and the door opened and the quarter-midget was sitting there. "I was in awe. I knew from then on that's what I wanted to do. For my sixth birthday, my dad got me a couple of quarter midgets and been racing since." Doney graduated to sprints four years ago and finished top-five in his first five winged features, at Lucas Oil Speedway and Lake Ozark Speedway. Lots of wins podium finishes have followed in both wings and non-wings. Doney not only drives, but helps build some of the fastest sprint cars around as a fabricator/welder at the renowned Schnee-Lawson Chassis in his hometown. And Xavier is not the only member of the family going fast on the dirt. Natalie, his 15-year-old sister who was in that stroller at World of Wheels, recently debuted in a 410 Sprint at Lake Ozark Speedway and made the A feature the second night of the two-night show, finishing 21st. "I thought she did pretty good. She beat a few regular 410 drivers, which is a feat on its own, especially being her first night out," Xavier said. "We're a really close family. We're all on the same race team and share information with each other. We're trying to grow (as a race team) at the same time." Fans who want to follow the Doney-Lawson Race Team can look for winged car No. 74 (Xavier) and 74N (Natalie).

  Jackson's late pass boosts him to victory in Lucas Oil MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial finale at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 31, 2024) - Tony Jackson Jr. saved his best for last Saturday night in the 10th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway. The veteran Late Model driver from Lebanon found speed on the high side and rocketed to the lead two laps to go, then held off Dillon McCowan and Gordy Gundaker for the $12,000 victory. The prize included a $2,000 bonus from Mary Jenkins Holt, in memory of Ron Jenkins, original builder of Wheatland Raceway. Jackson never led - but also was never out of the top three - until the exciting finish when the 2021 Lucas Oil MLRA champ went from third to first seemingly in an instant. It was his third time to win a Ron Jenkins Memorial feature. "What a race track," an excited Jackson said in victory lane. "Ten thousand is a great pay day and they add an extra two thousand. Great people and a great family. We can't thank them enough. We're blessed to win it." The race appeared to be McCowan's most of the way. The 20-year-old from nearby Urbana led 35 of the 40 laps, but was unable to finish it off after a lap 32-caution wiped out his tenuous lead and allowed Jackson and Gundaker to close in. "I'm kind of at a loss for words," McCowan said. "It was a great race. It's not how we wanted to end it. Congrats to them." Reigning MLRA champion and season points leader Chad Simpson led the first two laps before McCowan used a slider into turns three and four to grab the lead on lap three. Those two quickly opened a 10-car-length margin over third-running Jackson. As the lead duo battled, Jackson closed in by lap 11 to make it a three-way battle as the front runners closed in on lapped traffic. By the midway points on lap 20, McCowan had extended his lead to about six car lengths over Simpson with Jackson right behind. The first caution flew at that point as Dustin Walker slowed on the front straightaway. Before a lap could be completed after the restart, Cole Wells spun in turn three to bring out another caution. The next restart saw Jackson clear Simpson for second and set his sights on the leader. McCowan fought off sliders on two consecutive laps from Jackson to stay in front and again on lap 26. McCowan was able to build his lead back to five car lengths by lap 30 with Gundaker getting around Simpson for third. The action ground to a halt on lap 32 when Scott Crigler stopped in turn one to bring out a yellow. "I sure appreciate Scott Crigler stopping up there and pulling straight off to draw the caution," McCowan said. "But, that's the way it happens." With an eight-lap sprint to the finish, McCowan had a clean restart as Gundaker drove past Jackson on the low side where he soon was putting pressure on the leader. But just when it appeared McCowan and Gundaker would battle for the win, Jackson steered to the high groove and whipped around both of them coming off turn two on lap 38. "I was too tight to roll around the bottom," Jackson said. "I seen Dillon's stick guy telling him to get down and block Gordy and that's all I needed." Jackson took it to the checkers from there for his 16th career MLRA win, denying McCowan his first MLRA victory by 1.043 seconds. Gundaker was third with Simpson fourth Jon Kirby fifth. Jackson installed a new motor into this Longhorn chassis on Friday before Night One of the two-day program and, despite a poor qualifying time, rallied from deep in the field to finish third in the main event. "We were absolutely terrible when we unloaded yesterday," Jackson said. "We qualified dead last. I wore Vinny's phone out today, he is the man. I want to thank my wife and my little girl, Rob, Casey, Jayko, the Willards." McCowan bounced back from an even-more forgettable Friday. He was involved in a first-lap incident, not of his own making, and finished 28th with his car too damaged to complete a lap. "I'm excited to be standing on the front stretch after the runs we've had and getting taken out last night. I'm excited to get back and hopefully next time we can get some redemption," McCowan said, looking ahead to three more visits to Lucas Oil Speedway by the MLRA this season. "Hopefully we can do some good when we come back." The seventh-starting Gundaker said he felt he was in an ideal position, but things didn't work out. "That last restart I think that I was probably the better car of the three of us," Gundaker said. "I could run around the bottom better than those guys could. His stick guy probably moved him down. Hopefully we can get rid of stick guys and put it in the drivers' hands, but it's all good. "Me and Tony had a hell of a race there, racing for second. It feels good to get on the podium after we struggled last night." Chad Simpson came home in fourth and stretched his series lead to an unofficial 110 points over Jackson, Gundaker and brother Chris Simpson who all are tied. Chris Simpson, the Friday-night feature winner, lost power during the parade laps and was unable to start. He was set to begin fourth and entered the night just 15 points behind his brother in the points chase. McCowan had fast overall qualifying lap, at 16.242 seconds, to earn a $500 bonus courtesy of Mary Jenkins Holt, again in Ron Jenkins' memory. The Lucas Oil MLRA wraps a three-race weekend swing on Sunday night at Moberly Raceway Park with a $10,000-to-win feature. Stovall leads all the way for USRA Modifieds win: Veteran Jesse Stovall of Billings led wire-to-wire to beat Lucas Gibbs for the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified win. Stovall started on the outside of row one and opened a one-second lead over Lucas Gibbs after five laps. Those two opened a large gap back to third-place Nathan Hagar by the halfway mark on lap 10. Gibbs closed in on Stovall as the duo navigated lapped traffic, but the former Late Model driver was able to maintain the lead as action remained green at just under a second until lap 15 when Greg Scheffler took a spin in turn four. Stovall rode the high groove after the restart and went on to prevail over Gibbs by 1.1 seconds. Henry Chambers was third, Paden Phillips fourth and Jeff Cutshaw fifth. "This is just a surreal and awesome feeling to be standing here again after several years," said Stovall, who scored his last win at Lucas Oil Speedway since 2019. He's driven a limited schedule of late as he's making a driving comeback after a concussion in his Late Model in 2017 limited his schedule. "I give all the Glory to God," Stovall added. "I've struggled for a long time trying to get myself right, where I could come out and do this again. The sport I love, it's just an awesome sport." Williams repeats in USRA B-Mods: Bobby Williams of Hermitage made it back-to-back wins in the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods, holding off Mitchell Franklin for the victory. Williams led all 20 laps for his second win of the season at Lucas Oil Speedway and 11th overall in 2024. He started fourth and got around front-row starter Franklin in the early going. "This is a lot better than some of the weekends I've had here, for sure," Williams said with a laugh, when asked about his sweep. "Me and Mitchell had a pretty good battle going on there for a little bit. He gave me just enough room to throw a slider on him and it worked out in my favor. I like racing with Mitchell, me and him always race real hard." Logan Smith came home in third with Kerry Davis fourth and Kenny Nutter fifth. Wiles captures SMVR triumph: Andy Wiles of Erie, Kan., rolled to victory in the Show-Me Vintage Racing Series feature, coming from deep in the pack. The 11th-starting Wiles quickly advanced and had the lead by lap three, taking it from pole-starting Gary Proskocil. Wiles had a four-second command by lap eight and was making his way through lapped traffic. The race continued caution-free until lap 13, just two from the finish, and Wiles had a whopping 8.2-second lead over Bob Werkmeister when the yellow came out for a one-car spin. Wiles had a good restart and went on to finish off his second victory at Lucas Oil Speedway, beating Jim Thorne by 1.1 seconds. Werkmeister finished third with Brandon Jordan fourth and Bill Berens fifth. "I'm having a great time and I'm having one of my best years," Wiles said. "This is three out of five I've won (at Lucas Oil Speedway). Last night I hit a tire and it made it hard for me to steer. All I've got to say is I love this place. Tonight, we're partying."

  Chris Simpson captures opening-night win at 10th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 30, 2024) - Veteran Chris Simpson of Oxford, Iowa, picked up his first career victory at Lucas Oil Speedway, winning Friday's opening-night 10th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial Presented by Rugged Radios. Simpson took the lead on lap 11 of the 30-lapper and held off Billy Moyer to collect $7,000 and his 17th career MLRA victory. Simpson's winning total that included a $2,000 bonus from Mary Jenkins Holt in memory of Ron Jenkins, builder of the original Wheatland Raceway. "We haven't had a stellar year. We've had a pretty decent year, but nothing to be bragging about,' said Simpson, who began the night 45 behind his brother, Chad, in the MLRA championship chase. "This points race is pretty tight. Me and my brother are probably gonna put on a hell of a show to end it." Moyer, driving a new Longhorn chassis from Double L Motorsports, said he's still getting used to the car but was pleased with his result. "We're guessing at a lot of things we do," Moyer said. "Now that we've got a night under our belts we can work on it a little bit and make it a little better. "It was a good track," Moyer added. "They did a good job, with the weather. It was fun for everybody and Chris had the best car tonight. He got it done." Simpson started ninth and survived an onslaught on cautions to move into contention from his ninth-starting position. Pole-starting Jeff Herzog led from the start, opening up a 1.5-second lead over Ryan Johnson by lap six. Chris Simpson got around Johnson for the runner-up spot a lap later and gave chase, with the event's third caution flying on lap eight. Johnson was running in the top four when he was part of a four-car tangle on lap nine to bring out a fourth caution. As the race struggled to get into any rhythm due to the excess of cautions, Herzog led Chris Simpson, BMoyer and Chad Simpson to the restart. Simpson grabbed the lead away from Herzog on lap 11 with an inside pass out of turn four. He was able to extend his lead to 1.6 seconds by lap 15 over Moyer, who moved into second that time around. But before another lap could be compelted, Mason Oberkramer and Gordy Gundaker got together in turn four for caution No. 5. Johnson spun and collected Brennon Willard on lap 18 to make it a half-dozen cautions. Chris Simpson led Moyer by just under a half-second with Chad Simpson in third with 12 laps remaining. The race ran caution-free the rest of the way and Simpson dominated, rolling to a 2.7-second lead by lap 24 as Tony Jackson Jr. rolled into third behind Moyer. Simpson lost some ground over the final laps, but held on for a comfortable 1.3-second win over Moyer. "I didn't know how the track was. They got a lot of rain," Simpson said, noting a mid-afternoon thunderstorm that soaked the speedway. "The bottom was so greasy during our heat races, we couldn't even touch it. We had to run the middle there. "It was a good track. I had to move up there at the end. Chad, my crew guy, told me Moyer was coming on the top so I moved up and kind of sailed from there." Jackson finished third with MLRA points leader Chad Simpson fourth and Herzog fifth. Kayden Clatt set fast overall qualifying lap, at 15.914 seconds, to earn a $500 bonus courtesy of Mary Jenkins Holt, again in Ron Jenkins' memory. Clatt and Dillon McCowan tangled in turn four on the opening lap and McCowan, fourth in season points, was unable to continue while Klatt wound up 14th. Spalding rolls to USRA Modifieds win: Chris Spalding of Montgomery City, Mo., led the final 17 laps for the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified victory, beating runner-up Jeff Cutshaw. Spalding took the lead away from fellow front-row starter Chase Sigg on lap four as the pair came out of turn four. Spalding opened a 1.5-second lead by the midway point on lap 10 Cutshaw in third. Sigg's car lost power on lap 12 and he slowly rolled to the track exit, but not before a caution came out. Spalding had a four-second lead over Cutshaw at the time, with Dean Wille in third. Spalding held on from there to beat Cutshaw by 1.8 seconds for his first Lucas Oil Speedway victory. "I didn't think I was gonna win, so I don't know what to say," Spalding joked in victory lane. "I've struggled here bad. The track was fantastic and we did get lucky with the starts, with our starting position, but we'll take it however we can get 'em." Paden Phillips finished third with Wille fourth and Henry Chambers fifth. USRA B-Mods win goes to Williams: Bobby Williams of Hermitage led all the way to take a decisive feature in the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods, his first Lucas Oil Speedway victory of the season. There were three cautions before one lap was officially completed. Williams beat Keeper in a battle of front-row starters for the early lead - but they only were at full speed for two laps before another yellow. Williams had a 1.7-second lead over Keeper when the race's sixth caution slowed things again on lap eight. Keeper was passed on the restart by Tyler Potter and Robbe Ewing as Williams drove away to a three-second lead in just four laps. Williams poured it on as the race remained green the rest of the way. He beat Potter at the checkers by 6.1 seconds. Ewing held on for third with Jordan Jones fourth and Chase Jones finishing fifth. Jordan earns SMVR victory: Brandon Jordan of Pineville, Mo., led all 15 laps, holding off Jim Thorne at the finish, to win the Show-Me Vintage Racers feature. Jordan started eighth, but wasted no time getting to the lead and staying there, despite some challenges. Jordan earned his second SMVR win of the season at Lucas Oil Speedway. Andy Wiles, who started 27th, charged into second on lap 10 when the sixth caution of the event came out. That yellow wiped out Jordan's lead that was nearly two seconds. Wiles spun on lap 12 as he was trying to make an inside pass for the lead in turn two. That was all Jordan needed to take it the final three laps to pick up the victory. "He was coming hard, maybe a little too hard that one lap," Jordan said of Wiles. "We was able to have to hustle there." Chad Eickleberry finished third with John Martin third and Brian Cox fifth.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: McCowan returns 'home' a battle-tested driver for MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 28, 2024) - Since he last appeared on his home dirt, over Memorial Day Weekend for the Show-Me 100, you might say Dillon McCowan has gone to racing school. The 20-year-old from nearby Urbana followed the UMP Summer Nationals "Hell Tour" that began in mid-June, a six-week endurance test that took him to more than two dozen tracks in eight states. It was quite the education. Add in a few non-Summer Nationals shows, and McCowan has raced at 28 different speedways in the three months since his 16th-place finish in the 32nd annual Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism on May 25th. "It's been kind of a blur and kind of wild," McCowan said earlier this week. "Ever since (the Show-Me 100) we've been wide open and put the pedal down and haven't looked back. The Summer Nationals was definitely a big deal. It taught us a lot and we got to see a lot of different race tracks and a lot of different dirt, racing around a lot of different guys. All around, it was a great experience for us." McCowan passed the test with, if not straight-As, certainly with honor grades. He didn't win a feature, but was a mark of consistency with 19 top-10 finishes in 23 features in which he qualified for, and a second-place finish in tour points behind Tyler Erb. This weekend, McCowan hopes to put some of his knowledge to work at the 10th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial Presented by Rugged Radios at Lucas Oil Speedway, Friday and Saturday nights. "It's awesome to be back," McCowan said. "I always look forward to coming home and racing with all the people I grew up racing around and getting to be at the track will all my buddies again, and all the familiar faces that I used to around every weekend." Joining the MLRA Late Models both nights will be the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds, Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and Show-Me Vintage Racers. The Modifieds will run for $750 to win on Friday and $1,500 to win on Saturday; the B-Mods go for $500 to win Friday and $1,000 on Saturday. Pit gates will open at 4 p.m. both days with grandstands at 4:30, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. Fat prize money will be up for grabs for the MLRA Late Models with a $5,000-to-win feature on Friday night and a big $10,000 prize on Saturday. The feature winners each night also will receive a $2,000 bonus from Mary Jenkins Holt, in memory of Ron Jenkins, builder of the original Wheatland Raceway. Mary Jenkins Holt also will award Fast Time Qualifier $500 each night. That McCowan failed to win a feature on the Summer Nationals marathon may pale in comparison to the bigger picture, with the fact that he didn't tear up either of his cars iand his motors also survived intact. "That was probably the craziest part of it all," McCowan said. "You see everybody tore up every night and guys wrecking out. We were fortunate enough to bring both of our cars back in pretty well one piece and just maintenance everything up and put on new bodies. We were really fortunate not to tear a lot of stuff up." Meanwhile, McCowan built a racing notebook of first-time tracks from tiny to large and everything between. "We went from one extreme to the other," McCowan said. "Macon (Speedway) is probably the smallest thing I've seen in my life, other than the Dome (America's Dome in St. Louis). We raced 100 laps around that place and then Red Hill (Raceway) is big and aero dependent and your stuff has to be just right. "It was fun to experience the different types of tracks, all the different kind of dirt and how you have to change everything you're doing inside the cockpit so frequently and so quick." All the while, it was just Dillon and friend Riley Duncan traveling and servicing the cars for the majority of the tour. Dillon's dad, Charlie, was along for part of it before returning home to manage the family farm. Dillon's uncle Kim drove the hauler and loaned a hand for some of the trip. But the bulk of the experience and life on the road for an extended period fell upon Dillon and Riley. "That deal, it was so good for us," McCowan said. "That all taught me so much as a driver getting to experience different things and being in the car night after night. It was tough, but once you get out there and do it, you're thankful. It was good for the whole team." Now he's back in familiar surroundings, with family and friends primed to cheer him on. McCowan is fourth in MLRA season points, 105 behind championship leader Chad Simpson. He's not given up hopes to making a run at the reigning champ. "There's like 12 races left. If we can keep our nose clean and have some good runs, just be as consistent as we can, I think we might be right there in the chase," McCowan said. "But a bad night can be detrimental because we don't have a full season to recover if we have a bad weekend or a bad race." He said the same philosophy applies that he learned from the Summer Nationals. "Mentally, you just have to take it day by day," McCowan said. The MLRA will continue on to Moberly Motorsports Park on Sunday for another $10,000-to-win program.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Young USRA B-Mod driver Hoyt Miller impresses under veteran's tutelage

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 21, 2024) - Hoyt Miller is not your typical rookie in the deep and talented pool of drivers in the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod division at Lucas Oil Speedway. Miller is displaying talent well beyond his years on his way to a likely top-five finish in season points. The 14-year-old from Cross Timbers enters Saturday's Rempfer Family Season Championship Presented by Bill Roberts Chevrolet as one of the breakout drivers of 2024. He's won a pair of B-Mod features at Monett Speedway with a season-high fifth-place at Lucas Oil Speedway on July 27th. "I think it's gone pretty good," Miller said of his first full-time season in a B-Mod at Lucas Oil Speedway. "We've had a couple of bad finishes, which were my fault a little bit, but so far it's gone really well. A lot better than I thought it was going to be." It's been almost a year since Miller caught the eye of one of the Ozarks' top veteran drivers and car builders. Tony Jackson Jr. out of Lebanon, a two-time Lucas Oil MLRA Late Model Series champion, put Miller in the familiar Jackson No. 56 after watching him at last fall's USRA Nationals. Miller was driving his family owned B-Mod after moving up from the Midwest Mod division and wasn't having the greatest results at the USRA Nationals. Jackson said he knew the Miller family a little bit and offered to lend a hand in the pits, but was impressed that when he checked out the Miller work area that young Hoyt was fully engaged in working on the car. "During the USRA Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway, my wife Krissy and I were walking through the pits, and we noticed that every time we walked past Hoyt Miller's pit area that he was elbows deep working on his race car," Jackson said. "For a 13-year-old he not only has driving ability, but he also has a strong work ethic, and I'm all about that. "I was talking to my wife and we were wanting to start something," Jackson said of putting a young driver into a J2 B-Mod chassis. "I know when I was racing my dad helped me get into it. That was something we wanted to do. We've been fortunate to have good sponsors and a good racing career. "I'm hopefully nowhere near the end of my racing career, but at the same time my little girl is 11 and is getting older. I haven't raced as much this year and I just wanted to give back a little bit. He's who we picked to do it." Hoyt Miller said he was "surprised" by the offer, knowing that Jackson could have picked any number of other young drivers for the opportunity. "But they decided for it to be me. I felt really good about that and I thank them a lot for my success this season," Miller said, adding that Jackson's best advice was to make this a learning year. "Just stay calm and let everything play out," he said of Jackson's advice. "Don't put your nose somewhere it shouldn't be and don't tear up the car. Just drive smart and don't be stupid on the race track." Miller has six top-10 finishes in 10 attempts at Lucas Oil Speedway and is in position to finish no worse than fifth in points. The pair of wins at Monett were a pleasant bonus. Jackson said the first season couldn't have played out much better. "He's done very well. He's definitely coming along and he takes the good with the bad," Jackson said. "He stays focused and knows he's learning, but also knows that he's talented and has a fast car. It kind of goes together. "I told him that we just wanted to learn and be competitive this year and he's already won two races. He's definitely already surpassed our goals." Miller, who began racing go-karts at six years old, grew up around the sport and at Lucas Oil Speedway. His dad, Andrew Miller, often helped Evan and J.D. Hubert of Cross Timbers with their racing programs and young Hoyt paid close attention. He's attended several Show-Me 100s with a favorite memory being Scott Bloomquist winning a B-Main on three wheel in 2018 after breaking his left front wheel early in the race. Now that he's driving on the Wheatland oval, Miller said it's been a learning process. "I finally figured out myself how to run the top a lot better," Hoyt Miller said. "Different tracks, there's different lines you have to run. Lucas is more of a bottom-dominant race track and we can be a little looser there and still be faster." Hoyt said he takes mental notes while following some of the veteran B-Mod drivers during races. He used Jon Sheets as an example. "Jon Sheets, you can tell if he's lifting in the corner or what-not," Miller said. "I can watch that so I can base my driving style off his that night." Miller said he keeps the car most weeks to do the normal, weekly maintenance. They'll take it to J2 headquarters if there's more-significant work to be done, but Jackson said it's important for Miller to prep the car otherwise. "If there is no issues and it's a weekly maintenance deal, we make him do it." Jackson said. "That way he learns." It's the same with race-night education. Jackson said he attends the races when he can to offer advice, but otherwise it's all up to Miller. "We went the first race of the year and took in a test session and a couple of more races with him," Jackson said. "He learns. We give him advice and he follows through immediately. He's a quick learner. He's doing really good and his future is bright." With the regular season at Lucas Oil Speedway finishing up Saturday, Miller still has a goal of winning a race at Wheatland. With school starting, it's going to be a busy fall as he plays linebacker for the football team. Friday nights will be iffy for racing once football games begin, but he plans to keep racing somewhere on Saturday and Sunday nights, with the USRA Nationals in mid-September also circled on his racing calendar. "Our goal is to see if I can get a win at USRA Nationals or this coming weekend at Lucas," he said. "Our car has been really good and I think we can finally get one there." JC Morton has clinched the B-Mod championship as he's 141 points in front of Logan Smith with Trevor Drake 153 behind. Milller is 30 points behind Drake and 13 in front of fifth-place Jaylen Wettengel. The Miller/Jackson team sponsors, in addition to TJR Motorsports and J2 Race Cars, include Close Racing Supply, Norris Logging, Dynamic Drivelines, All-Star Performance, Wildwood Brakes, Earnest Performance, Elite Auto Complex, Elite Trailers, Eagle Machine and A2Z Signs. Track champions will be crowned in all four divisions Saturday night in a program named to honor Harold "Rowdy" Rempfer and his wife, Julia, who were killed in an automobile accident six years ago. Rowdy was the mayor of Wheatland and he and Julia both worked at Lucas Oil Speedway. Pit gates open at 4 p.m. with grandstands at 4:30, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. Final Kids' Power Wheel race at intermission: The final Kids' Power Wheel races of the season will be held during intermission with the season champion also named for the youngsters. Morrow Sheets has the most wins this season and a podium finish (top three) will clinch the championship. Youngsters ages 5-12 can bring their own battery-powered cars to the RCR Designs Jr Fan Club sign-in or drop them at the pit gates and they will be brought to the front stretch at intermission.
