  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.

  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.

  Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night set for Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 19, 2024) - Two of the Lucas Oil Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series leaders can rest a bit easy while two others have work left to be done on Saturday at the Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night Presented by Bill Roberts Chevrolet. Track champions will be crowned in all four divisions with a pair of drivers - Justin Wells in the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models and JC Morton in the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods - already having mathematically clinched titles. Wells has dominated in a successful repeat of his points title with 11 feature victories this season. The veteran driver from Aurora is 440 points in front of Jefferson City's Tucker Cox entering the final night of the regular season. Morton, meanwhile, has picked up a pair of feature wins and has an insurmountable lead on the way to his third Lucas Oil Speedway title in the B-Mods, 141 clear of Logan Smith of El Dorado Springs. There is a bit more mystery in the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified division where Jason Pursley of Hermitage is on the verge of earning his first track championship after multiple runner-up finishes over the years. Pursley has not won a feature, but with five top-five finishes leads Chad Lyle of Lone Jack by 69 points with three-time division champion Jeff Cutshaw 93 behind. The closest points battle finds William Garner of Lebanon looking to nail down his first O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars championship. The four-time feature winner this season has a 39-point lead over Jaylen Wettengel of Topeka, Kan. The program is 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. 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.

  Doney earns POWRi 410 victory while Tosh edges Brown for Full Fender Showdown triumph at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 17, 2024) - Young Xavier Doney had a night he won't forget Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway, capturing his first POWRi 410 Sprint Car victory at the POWRi Summer Thunder main event. The 18-year-old from Odessa, Mo., led all 30 laps and held off Ayrton Gennetten in the late stages to earn the $5,000 victory. Meanwhile, Richie Tosh of Salado, Ark., beat Derek Brown with a last-corner pass in the first Diamond Full Fender Challenge, with the POWRi Super Stocks and USRA Stock Cars. Those features were held in conjunction with the POWRi Summer Thunder that included the POWRi 305 Sprints and full programs for USRA Stock Cars and POWRi Super Stocks. Doney was fast from the drop of the green, taking a 2.4-second lead over fellow front-row starter Gunner Ramey in the POWRi 410 feature by lap eight as the leaders caught lapped traffic. Ramey was cutting into the margin when a caution on lap 10 slowed the action. Blake Hahn got around Ramey on the restart for second, but Doney was able to build a 1.8-second lead in the meantime with Gennetten moving into third. Another caution came out on lap 16 as eighth-running Roger Crockett slowed on the speedway after a puff of smoke came from the motor. Doney quickly moved back to the high groove as action resumed to try and protect his lead over the next 13 laps with veterans Hahn and Gennetten right behind. The youngster was able to open a 1.4-second lead by lap 22, but Gennetten quickly cut it to just under one second by lap 24. Gennetten closed within three car lengths with three to go, but Doney held on to nail down the personal landmark win by .779 seconds. Hahn finished third with Kyle Bellm of Nixa, Mo., was fourth and Miles Paulus came home fifth. "That was probably about the best 25 laps I've ever run," Doney said. "I made a few mistakes in there. The top's about as thin as it gets and it was really treacherous up there. I had to keep the car out of the wall and I almost put it in there a couple of times, but we managed. "We got a good set-up on the car. I have to thank my dad for that. He's been working really good with me, helping learn all this winged set-up stuff. I have to thank all my sponsors. Everyone does a heck of a lot for this race team and I'm fortunate for it." Gennetten, the POWRi 410 series points leader, said he just couldn't quite get to Doney in the late going. "When you start fifth you want to get as far forward as you can," Gennetten said. "We fell back early and just kind of kept picking them off on the restarts. Xavier was the best car all night. He was really good her at the High Limits race and I knew he was the car to beat." Doney served notice that he would be the man to beat by setting fast qualifying time with a lap of 13.638 seconds. He said he qualifying runs of seventh and fourth earlier this year with the Kubota High Limit Racing series gave him confidence, though he still had to carry the speed over 30 laps. "It was a tricky race and I think that's the best I've driven here before," Doney said. Tosh edges Brown in Full Fender Challenge thriller: Arkansas driver Richie Tosh edged Derek Brown of Stoutland in an absolute thriller to win the $1,500 Full Fender Challenge, matching the top 12 finishers from the POWRi Super Stock and USRA Stock Car features held earlier in the evening. Starting order was determined by a draw and Brown, who won the Super Stocks feature earlier, started second with Johnny Fennewald, the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature winner, starting sixth. Tosh, a close third after leading early in the Super Stock feature, began fifth in the Full Fender Challenge. But it was Brown who appeared on his way to a double victory most of the way. Brown grabbed the lead on lap one and opened a 2.6-second gap on Tosh by lap seven when the first caution flew.After the restart, Brown and Tosh waged a battle at the front with Brown staying in front. Sixth-starting Fennewald, meanwhile, fell back to eighth by lap 11 after climbing as high as fifth at the caution. Tosh pulled alongside Brown out of turn four on lap 15. Brown was able to fend off the challenge - until the final turn. The leaders found themselves in lapped traffic on the final cirdcuit and Tosh, diving low in turn four, beat Brown by a hood's length at the checkers, the margin listed as .074 seconds. "Man the racetrack got good," Tosh said. "You could run all over it. I knew Derek was gonna be tough. He got me in the first go-around there. I've known Derek since he was this little and come and watched me race, so it was good to race with him like that. Tosh said he committed to the bottom of the track in the last few laps because he knew it would be tough to get around Brown on the high side. "It worked out. Lapped traffic, we diced and sliced there a little bit," Tosh said. "It was a fun race and fortunate to get to do it." Terry Schultz wound up third with Jared Hays fourth and J.T. Carroll fifth as the POWRi Stock Cars swept the top nine positions. Fennewald, in 10th, was the highest-finishing USRA Stock Car driver. A total of 38 POWRi Super Stocks checked into the pits with 20 USRA Stock Cars entering the action. Fennewald dominates USRA Stock Cars feature: Johnny Fennewald won the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature in dominant fashion, leading all 20 laps to earn $1,500. The Appleton City driver started on the front row and opened a 1.6-second lead over Jaylen Wettengel by lap five, with William Garner running third and Waylon Dimmitt fourth. As green-flag laps ticked by, Fennewald's lead grew to 2.5 seconds by the halfway point on lap 10 as Wettengel fought to repel Garner. The only thing that could save the rest of the field was a caution - and it never came. Fennewald beat Wettengel by 4.5 seconds with Garner third, Dimmitt fourth and Kris Jackson fifth. "The track's really good tonight," Fennewald said. "I like it when it's slick, but we hit on something and that top was pretty dominant there. I knew it was gonna take somebody pretty fast to try and pass me in the middle or on the bottom." That said, Fennewald correctly predicted that the odds were stacked against the Stock Cars against the Super Stocks. He said that lap times were about six-tenths of a second faster. Brown scores POWRi Super Stocks win: Derek Brown made the decisive pass with four laps remaining, culminating a rally after he was fifth in the early going and went on to earn the POWRi Super Stocks feature. Gary Clark advanced from eighth to second by lap five challenging the pole-starting Richie Tosh for the lead. But Clark's car lost power and rolled to a stop in turn two on lap 10 to bring out the caution. That left Tosh leading Colton Bourland and Brown as a restart started the second half of the 20-lapper. Brown slid to the inside of the leader on lap 12, but could not quite make the pass as the event's fifth caution came out. Brown jumped to the high side on lap 16 and made an outside pass stick out of turn four, taking the lead away form Tosh. Brown drove away from there to win by 1.15 seconds over Jared Hays, who made a late pass to take the runner-up spot away from Tosh. Bourland wound up fourth with Aaron Poe fifth as the top 12 advanced to the Full Fender Challenge. Brown earned $1,500 for the win. "When I faded back I thought it was all over," Brown said, noting how he fell out of the top four in the early laps before rallying. "Then the top kind of cleaned off and it got better and better and I just stuck with it." POWRi 305 Sprints goes to Barnard: John Barnard, a 17-year-old from Sherman, Ill., grabbed the lead on lap nine and didn't give it up, earning his first POWRi 305 Sprint feature victory. "I just focused on hitting my marks," Barnard said. "I didn't feel real good during our heat race, but we rebounded." Tyler Elliott grabbed an early two-second advantage over Randy Martin. By lap seven, Barnard moved into second and made the pass of Elliott for the lead two laps later. Following a lap-11 caution, the sixth-starting Barnard opened a 2.2-second lead in just four circuits and was pulling away when a yellow flag on lap 15 took that margin away. Barnard took it home from there to capture the victory, 2.6 seconds clear of Elliott at the checkers. Martin finished third with Tyler Davenport fourth and James Turnbull fifth.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Garner rides breakthrough season into Diamond Full Fender Challenge

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 14, 2024) - After finishing as runner-up an agonizing five times in 2023 in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars class, William Garner has solved the puzzle to find his way to victory lane this season at Lucas Oil Speedway. Garner, a 24-year-old from Lebanon, has four feature wins this season and leads the division championship standings by 43 points over Jaylen Wettengel. "It makes it nice going into a race knowing that you have a fast, competitive car and you've had the runs you've had," Garner said. "It gives you confidence." Garner and his fellow USRA Stock Car competitors will get a unique test this Saturday night as the first Diamond Full Fender Challenge is held in conjunction with the POWRi Summer Thunder featuring the POWRi 410 and 305 Sprint cars. The Full Fender Challenge will find the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars running their usual program, along with the POWRi Super Stocks with heats and a feature of their own as a guest class. Both of those feature winners will earn $1,500 and the top 12 from each will advance into another 20-lapper with starting positions drawn. The winner of that combined Stock Cars/Super Stocks main event will earn another $1,500 - plus some bragging rights. Garner said there's been a lot of mostly good-natured talk between drivers from the divisions about which full-bodied car is superior. "Oh yeah, for sure," Garner said. "There's gonna be a lot of bragging rights. I just hope we all have fun and hopefully it makes it where everything goes good. But there's been a lot of smack talking, for sure. "Hopefully we can go out and put on a good show for the fans and next year maybe have a little big bigger purse." The Super Stocks ran at Lucas Oil Speedway as the regular full-body division through 2020 before the USRA Stock Cars became part of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series the next season. There are some notable differences in the rules packages between the two, though Garner said the Stock Cars will be allowed in the rules to be a part of the end-of-season Super Stocks Big Buck 50 in October. He said he's currently scheduled to be on vacation that week, but said there's a chance he may return in time to enter the Big Buck Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt, which pays $10,000 to win on Oct. 5th. Right now, Garner is focused on Saturday's doubleheader and a possible first Lucas Oil Speedway track championship. He was second to Mason Beck a year ago after coming home second - often to Beck - so often. This year he's been able to turn the tide, without any magical formula, in his Franklin Motorsports chassis. "Nothing really different," Garner said of his driving. "There at the beginning of the year we were just trying stuff and bouncing ideas. Me and my Dad (Jeremy) were talking about different stuff, and me and dad decided to try something. It worked. We had to tune on it for about two races and since then the car drives really good." A highlight came on July 20th when Garner won two features on the same night. He came from behind to capture the opener, which was a makeup from the High Limits Diamond Classic postponement from a few weeks earlier. Garner called it one of his career highlights. "That was by far the best one because these Stock Cars are so competitive and there are so many good drivers," Garner said. "That night I was able to win the first one. The second one, I got up to the front and once I made the pass for the lead, I was like 'Man, I have a good race car, I just have to keep hitting my marks' and we were able to win it, too. It's hard to do that, especially with these guys." Finishing off the regular season with a track championship - to go with the his title in 2022 at Dallas County Speedway - would be another big feather in his hat. "It would mean a lot," he said. "Just winning a championship at Lucas is doing something. Anybody that wins a championship there is a good driver and they've had a lot of success. That helps your career and helps you get your name out there more by winning a championship there. Garner was quick to point out that the team's success goes far beyond him behind the wheel. He gave special shout-outs to Josh and Mitchell Franklin, his family and all of his sponsors. "If it wasn't for all of them, we wouldn't be running how we are," Garner said. Team sponsors include Icon Graphics, Franklin Motorsports, Eagle Machine, Mitchell Capital Management, Court Probationary Services, Leerose Puppies, E-co Equipment & Solutions, Bar T Cattle, G&M Transport, Johnny Fennewald Roofing & Seamless Gutters, Midwest Sheet Metal, Richardson's Carpet, Devlin-Nichols Tax & Accounting, Hogan Land Title, Arrowhead Building Supply and Garner Construction.

  Chisholm completes the sweep at 15th annual USMTS Show-Me Shootout at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 3, 2024) - Jim Chisholm never had particularly been a fan of Lucas Oil Speedway's racing surface in past visits to the Diamond of Dirt Tracks. His opinion definitely has changed after this weekend's visit. Chisholm, of Osage, Iowa, doubled up his fun Saturday night at the 15th annual Slick Mist USMTS Show-Me Shootout Presented by Foley Equipment. Twenty-four hours after winning a thriller on Night One, Chisholm repeated and took home another $5,000 first prize to complete the sweep. Chisholm, 21, took the lead on lap two and maintained it the rest of the 50-lapper. He held off a hard-charging Jake Timm by .743 seconds in the United States Modified Touring Series finale. Zack Vanderbeek was third and Kyle Strickler finished fourth. Dan Ebert rounded out the top five. Other winners on the program were JC Morton (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models) and Johnny Fennewald (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). Chisholm smiled in victory lane about the special weekend, where he found the right combo to get around the south-central Missouri oval. "This is gonna stick with me for a really, really long time," Chisholm said, adding, "again, Lucas Oil gave us a really good race track. I didn't win the race on the line I started. To me, that's huge because it keeps us drivers working really hard on where we have to run. "I have to thank all the people for coming out to this event. You have one of the best facilities around and I love coming here, now." Chisholm took the lead away from fellow front-row starter Vanderbeek on lap two with Trevor Hughes settling into third. Chisholm needed only five laps to open a 1.9-second lead and he was catching lapped traffic by lap 10. The lead swelled to 3.7 seconds by lap 12 and Chisholm was nearly a straightaway ahead of Vanderbeek just a few laps later. With the race remaining green, Chisholm had a 4.8-second command at the halfway mark on lap 25 as it was becoming a complete runaway. But a lap-31 caution gave life to the rest of the field as Chisholm's 5.4-second gap was wiped out when Dayton Pursley spun in turn one after A.J. Hoff's car went up in smoke directly in front of him. That left Strickler, Vanderbeek and Trevor Hughes and Jason Hughes behind Chisholm for the restart, with 19 to go. "I didn't really know how many laps were left when that caution came out," Chisholm said. "I thought there was only like five or 10. These races are always a lot longer when you're leading." Strickler pulled alongside Chisholm on the inside the two laps after the restart, but was unable to get by. Chisholm was able to push his lead back to five car lengths on lap 36, with Strickler and Vanderbeek battling it out for second. Strickler, of Mooresville, N.C., moved to the high line in turns three and four and remained low in turns one and two, but Chisholm held firm in the high groove. The top three were separated by only three car lengths by lap 43 and Vanderbeek edged into second a lap later with 15th-starting Jake Timm moving by Strickler into third. Timm, of Winona, Minn., came to the white flag in second, but wasn't close enough to make a run at Chisholm as the 21-year-old Iowan held on to win by about six car lengths. "I saw Jake and Zack at the end there and I think they were a little bit better than me the last few laps," Chisholm said. "I just had to come down where they were really good. "I had to use up a lot, too early, running the cushion getting through lapped cars. I had to push it a little harder than I expected." Timm, who led the weekend in cars passed, picked up 13 spots from the start after using a provisional to rally from 23rd to fourth on Friday. He fell behind Chisholm in the USMTS championship chase by a handful of points. "It would definitely have helped to start toward the front," Timm said. "Toward the end, we started to get really good. If I could have started closer to the front, maybe we'd have had a shot to win. Or 10 more laps, I don't know. "Either way, I can't complain. We had to battle some adversity this weekend." Another Late Model win for Wells: Justin Wells led from start-to-finish in a caution-free Hermitate Lumber POWRi Late Model feature, his 11th trip to victory lane in 13 attepts this season at Lucas Oil Speedway. In a familiar storyline, Wells took the lead at the start and built a sizable margin over Fennewald by lap 10. The lead remained consistent in the two-second range as Wells worked his way through lapped traffic and, without a caution, he easily added to his win total. Wells wound up 3.2 seconds ahead of Fennewald - the only driver to beat him this season at Lucas Oil Speedway - at the checkers. Tucker Cox finished third with Alan Westling and Jim Greenway rounding out the top five. "This track was spot-on, the car was spot-on, the crew was spot-on and the driver did a pretty good job," Wells said in victory lane. Morton earns USRA B-Mods feature win: JC Morton took the lead on lap seven after advancing from his seventh-starting position and rolled to the victory in Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature. Morton, of Springfield, beat Trevor Drake by nearly three seconds to claim his second feature win of the season at Lucas Oil Speedway. As the first feature after track work during intermission, Morton said the track came to him after a few laps and he was able to run strong in his Bloodline Race Car. "It's really good," Morton said of the car. "We just have to keep this momentum going. We've been trying some stuff, keep testing some different things. We back back to where we were last year at the (USRA) Nationals and it was pretty good." Morton, the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series division points leader, shot to the lead out of turn four on lap seven with an outside pass of Rex Harris. He had a half-second lead over Harris on lap nine when the first caution flew. The restart saw Morton roll to a one-second advantage over Trevor Drake before a lap-10 caution due to a six-car pileup against slowed the race's rhythm. Morton quickly regained command, moving to the high groove for a two-second lead by lap 15. Morton poured it on from there as the race remained caution-free, beating Drake by 2.7 seconds at the finish. Bobby Williams wound up third with J.T. Carroll fourth and Harris coming home fifth. Fennewald takes a thriller in USRA Stock Cars: The last race of the night had the closest finish as Johnny Fennewald - after losing a race-long lead on lap 18 - rallied on the final circuit to beat Jaylen Wettengel in a side-by-side finish. Fennewald started on the pole and set the pace at the start, with Wettengel moving from fourth to second by lap three. Wettengel ran about two car lengths behind the leader over the next 10 laps before drawing onto his back bumper. With a good battle shaping up for the lead, the first caution flew on lap 13. After the caution, Wettengel pulled alongside and finally took the lead coming out of turn four on lap 18. But Fennewald wasn't done. He got a big rush of momentum going into the final turn and used the high side to beat Wettengel by a half-car-length at the finish line. The official margin was .082 seconds. Of the last lap, Fennewald said, "I was being way too conservative on the bottom. I had a better car than I was putting on. I just moved up a little bit and started running the hell out of it." Points leader William Garner was third, Waylon Dimmitt fourth and James Ellis fifth.

  Chisholm outduels Phillips in a dandy as USMTS Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout opens at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 2, 2024) - Jim Chisholm outdueled Terry Phillips in a United States Modified Touring Series classic Friday night on Night One of the 15th annual Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout Presented by Foley Equipment at Lucas Oil Speedway. Chisholm led six of the final eight laps, but swapped the lead with Phillips three times over the final stretch of the 40-lapper. The Osage, Iowa, driver regained the lead from Phillips on lap 38 and held on from there to win by a narrow .445 seconds over the veteran from Springfield. Chisholm earned $5,000 to win on Night One of the USMTS 40-lap feature. A total of 41 Modifieds were in attendance and there were 89 total entries in the four divisions. Other winners on the program were Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models), William Garner (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars) and Mitchell Franklin (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods). Alex Williamson led the first 18 laps and Dan Ebert the next 10 in the night's headliner, but neither were able to build anything close to a comfortable margin. Then it got downright wild after Phillips went to the front on lap 29, following the event's third caution. On the restart, Phillips found grip on the inside of turns one and two to take the lead away from Ebert and then went back to the high side to keep it. Chisholm, who entered the action just behind series points leader Jake Timm, suddenly found speed on the bottom and roared to the front on lap 34 - only to see Phillips go back to the front a lap later. But the two swapped again the next time around. Over the final several laps, Phillips went to the top and the 21-year-rold Chisholm the bottom. Phillips, 58, found the front again on lap 35 in what turned into an epic battle. It was Chisholm's turn to lead again on lap 38 in what would be the final lead change. He held off the veteran from there to capture the win by .445 seconds. "I've got to give hats off to Lucas Oil (Speedway)," Chisholm said. "This place is the best facility in the world, but I always hated coming here because we weren't very good. Nothing against the race track. But I have to give it to them. This is probably the best race track I've been on all year long. "We could run top to bottom. We ran through the middle a lot. I have to thank Terry. I don't know if he led some of those laps, but we were running side by side through there. I was a little bit better through one and two and he would get me back in three and four." Chisholm said he was able to use the video board overlooking turn three to see he was clear of Phillips on lap 38 and moved up the track to take away Phillips' preferred line over the closing two circuits. Phillips said his tires were pretty well shot by that point and part of his spoiler had been knocked askew a little early when he nicked the wall in turn four while battling with Ebert. "i didn't help myself there," Phillips said. "The car was fair. We just need to be a little better." Zack Vanderbeek finished third with Timm, who had to go to a backup car and take a series provisional to start 23rd, rallying for fourth. Ebert settled for fifth. Alex Williamson beat fellow front-row starter Trevor Hughes to the lead at the start and had a one-second lead when action slowed due to a lap-four caution. Ebert advanced to second on the restart with Vanderbeek into third. Ebert began to pressure the leader on lap 10 with Phillips, who started eighth, closing in on the lead duo. Chisholm joined the fray by lap 15, making it four cars bunched within 1.1 seconds up front. Ebert dove inside of Williamson to take the lead coming off turn four on lap 19 with Phillips getting around Williamson one lap later. The leaders weaving in and out of lapped traffic, Phillips pressed Ebert on lap 24 and the two traded the lead on lap 26 with Ebert officially leading the lap after Phillips nearly hit the wall in turn four - but made a nifty save. The race had four leaders and eight lead changes, including five in the final eight laps. Wells dominates Late Model feature: Justin Wells shook off a slow start, which saw him fall to third in the early going, to roll to his 10th Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model feature victory in 12 starts this season. Wells, of Aurora, beat Matt Becker by 5.3 seconds with Tucker Cox finishing third, JC Morton fourth and Johnny Fennewald fifth. "I'm surprised if we win, I'm surprised if we lose," Wells said with a chuckle in victory lane. "We've got a good car and we've got a good crew. The track was really good. It was a little bit slimy there at the start, but it turned out to be a great race track." Front-row starters Becker and Wells dueled the first lap before Becker pulled away out of turn four to lead lap one. The runaway track points leader and reigning division champion slipped back to third behind Becker JC Morton on lap two before regaining second on the sixth lap. By then, Becker led by 1.1 seconds. Wells moved to the high side of the track and quickly closed ground the next time around and took the lead with a pass out of turn four to complete lap 10. It was a runaway from there as Wells sprinted clear by three seconds by lap 15 en route to his comfortable final margin in the caution-free 20-lapper. Garner picks up fourth USRA Stock Cars win: William Garner grabbed the lead on lap six and went on to earn his fourth O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win of the season. Garner beat Johnny Fennewald by 1.4 seconds at the checkers. "Me and my whole family, we've been working our butts off on this thing," Garner said. "I can't thank Josh and Mitchell Franklin enough. They help me all the time. I have to thank Johnny Fennewald and just everybody that supports me on this thing." James McMillin started on the pole and set the early pace with a host of cars right behind in the early going. Fourth-starting Beck edged to the front with a turn-four pass on lap four. Two laps later, sixth-starting Garner roared to the front and had a .324-second lead when a yellow on lap seven slowed the action. Garner, the division points leader, had a half-second lead at the midway point over Fennewald with Bryan White in third. Taking advantage of a dozen green-flag laps to finish the event, Garner rolled away to prevail over Fennewald. Jaylen Wettengel rallied from ninth to third with White fourth and Waylon Dimmitt fifth. Franklin earns USRA B-Mods triumph: Mitchell Franklin took over on lap seven and drove away to beat Bobby Williams by 1.4 seconds in the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature. "That's a brand new car; I tore the front end off of it last week," Franklin said. "My dad (Josh) busted his butt on it today. I didn't know I was racing tonight until about 2 o'clock and I work in Branson. So, thanks to my dad and thanks to everybody who makes it happen. "This is a new race car. It's a little different than my old one, but I think we found something that might work." Tanner Kade and Franklin, starting on the front row, ran 1-2 through the first six laps before Franklin took the lead on lap seven with an inside pass off turn three. Morton gave chase in third but Franklin was able to gradually build a one-second lead by lap 10 as Kade and Morton battled for second. Franklin was 2.5 second in front when the gap was wiped out due to a lap-14 caution. Morton and Bobby Williams got around Kade after the restart as Franklin opened a five car-length lead. Franklin held on over the final laps to capture his first feature win of the season, beating Williams and Morton at the finish. J.T. Carroll earned fourth with Reece Solander in fifth.

  Lucas Oil Speedway USMTS Spotlight: Series leader Timm tones down aggression to chase end-game spoils

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 31, 2024) - Jake Timm's pursuit of his first United States Modified Touring Series championship continues on Friday and Saturday when Lucas Oil Speedway plays host to the 15th annual Slick Mist USMTS Show-Me Shootout Presented by Foley Equipment. Running the full USMTS schedule for the first time has been a rousing success so far. With a key stretch kicking off this weekend, Timm has a pair of feature victories, an eye-popping 15 top-five finishes and a 24-point lead over Iowa's Jim Chisholm. "We've had some good luck in terms of not having DNFs and we haven't had many big issues. It's been pretty good," Timm said of the season. "We've finished every race and only finished outside the top 10 twice. We can't complain. We've had some decent luck and hopefully it stays that way." Chasing a season-long series title for the first time does involve some compromise. For the 27-year-old Timm, from Winona, Minn., he's had to dial back his aggressiveness a bit. That hasn't been easy for a driver considered an up-and-comer in both the Modified and Super Late Model ranks. By nature and desire, Timm wants to chase victories at every turn, but realizes that approach is not always conducive to his end goal. Sometimes, hitting the brakes instead of mashing the gas eats at him, though it's the right decision in the bigger picture. "I hate to say it, but it does," Timm said of points racing. "You can't take as many chances. You have to race more on the defense, which isn't something that I like to do, but you have to keep the points in mind and sometimes settle for a good finish instead of laying it all on the line for a win. "I still always try (to win) obviously, but if you're gonna take a chance of diving between lapped cars or going outside of them on the front stretch or whatever it may be … sometimes I may hit the brakes instead of sticking it in there like I normally would." Driving the only Rage chassis on the USMTS circuit, Timm has 20 top-10 finishes in 22 USMTS events in 2024. A third-generation racer, Timm builds his own motors. That sets him apart from most of the competition and goes a long way toward making a budget stretch from February through October. "I managed an engine rebuilding shop the last five years here. I learned through that and I had a lot of (maintenance) and machine background before that, so that helps out," Timm said of his power plant skills. "Since racing full time, I've been taking care of my own engines. It's nice because it saves us a lot of money and allows me to fine-tune my engine to the way I want it to run." Timm grew up around racing as his dad, Bob Timm, raced the family number 49 that Jake now uses. Bob now runs Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis. Bob Timm often travels to the USMTS races with Jake to offer assistance, but will stay behind this weekend to oversee duties at the popular Wisconsin track. Jake Timm said he's had mixed results at Lucas Oil Speedway in the past, in both the Modified and Late Model divisions. He qualified for the Show-Me 100 in 2021, through a B Main, and wound up 32nd. Driving a Late Model full time, on a national tour, is a goal that he would like to attack at some point. It's a path that several, such as Ricky Thornton Jr., Ryan Gustin and Jimmy Owens to name a few, have followed. But Timm, with an immediate focus on the USMTS championship chase, is not going to jump into that deep water until the time is right. "That's kind of my goal and what I'm working toward, building up the funds and the team we need to be able to compete for something like that," Timm said. "It's about three times as much money as what we're doing now. It's definitely my goal and my future plan, but as of now we're doing what we can with what we have. "We've only raced the Late Model maybe 10 times all year. We've just been putting all our focus on this tour, leading the points and trying to make sure we hopefully are able to maintain that." Rodney Sanders, of Happy, Texas, led all 50 laps to hold off Dereck Ramirez to win last season's USMTS Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout Presented by Foley Equipment. Ramirez had won the race the three previous seasons. Sanders, also a four-time feature winner on the tour, sits third in 2024 USMTS points, 116 behind Timm. The USMTS features will pay $5,000 to win both nights. USMTS it putting up extra money on Saturday with $900 to start the main event after $600 to start the feature on Friday night. Full programs both nights will include the Clear Creek Golf Car USRA B-Mods, O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars and Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models. The B-Mods and Stock Cars will race for $500 to win on Friday with the Late Models going after $750 to win; on Saturday, $750 goes to the B-Mod and Stock Cars winners with a $1,000-to-win Late Model feature. Track and national points will be awarded as usual in those three classes. In the USMTS portion of the program, track regulars who enter will receive 75 track bonus points each night toward their Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series total. Pit gates for the dirt track open at 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday with grandstands at 4:30 p.m., hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05 both nights. Flagman Mike Striegel also lead a Kids' Pit Tour prior to the races both days. Youngsters interested can sign up at the RCR Designs Jr Fan Club table before 5:15 p.m. for a chance to go on the tour.

  Smith scores first Lucas Oil Speedway win as Sheets captures first half of B-Mod Twin 20s on Fan Appreciation Night

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 27, 2024) - Logan Smith of El Dorado Springs capitalized on a unique format and captured his first career feature victory at Lucas Oil Speedway in dominating fashion Saturday night. Smith, 20, ran away from the field to capture the second Twin 20 in the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods after veteran Jon Sheets of Nevada grabbed the first 20-lap win. Both drivers took home $1,000 in the format which saw the 18 on the lead lap to finish the opener inverted, via fan vote, for the second feature. A total of 101 cars in five divisions checked into the pits on Mickey Fleehart Memorial Fan Appreciation Night at the Races. Other feature winners were Johnny Fennewald (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars and Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models), Gary Christian (Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds) and Andy Wiles (Show-Me Vintage Racers). Smith was ecstatic in victory lane after hugging the bottom line while leading all 20 laps for his landmark personal victory. "I just tried to stay smooth and not slip up," Smith said. "I messed up one time and kept looking up (at the video board) and trying and trying as hard as I could. That was the biggest win of my career and I'm thankful for everybody behind me." Smith said he was fortunate with the format after struggling in the first feature, but that didn't diminish his smile in victory lane. "For my standing, this works out perfect," Smith said. "This gave me a good opportunity." The opener had a rough start, with six cars piling up in turn two after the green flew. Points leader JC Morton was among those collected in the mess, but was able to get rolling and retain his 14th-starting position. Once it got going for good, Sheets wasted no time sprinting to the lead from the pole. He had a 2.1-second lead over Jaylen Wettengel when Wettengel had a flat tire and slowed to bring out a lap-six caution. Morton, who started 14th, made his way into second by lap eight as he got around Trevor Drake. The top three broke away from the rest when the race's fourth caution again slowed the action, on lap nine. The race finally settled into a rhythm after that and Sheets took advantage. He opened up a 1.8-second lead on Morton by lap 14 cruised from there. Reece Solander got around Morton and started to gain on the leader, but Sheets was able to grab the win by .812 seconds. Morton settled for third with Cody Brill fourth and Hoyt Miller fifth. The cars rolled to the infield after the checkers where crew members were able to briefly service the cars. Fans voted during the break to completely invert the lineup of the top 18 cars that finished the opener on the lead lap for the second 20-lapper. That put Sheets in 18th to start the finale with 18th-place finisher Scott Chism on the pole with Smith alongside. During the break, Sheets was asked his strategy for the challenge ahead. His said "survive." He didn't for long. Sheets' race ended on lap one when he hit the turn four wall. He pulled into the pits, settling for the $1,000 win a few minutes earlier. "People jockeying a little too hard on the first lap," Sheets said of the situation. "I thought I would just roll around the top there and let everybody get lined up. There were some sudden lane changes going into three and I had nowhere to go." Smith, starting second after the invert, grabbed the lead and would never give it up. Smith was one second in front of Cayden Stacye when a lap-four caution flew. Among the top six in the first race, Morton made the most progress by the midpoint of race two as he was running ninth after starting 16th. But up front, Smith was dominant opening a 2.3-second lead over Stacye by lap 12. Morton was up to seventh by lap 17, but time was running out as the race remained in an extended green-flag run. Smith took it home, beating Stacye by 1.8 seconds with Shadren Turner going from 12th to third. Wettengel was fourth and Tyson Lanfermann rounded out the top five. Fennewald earns USRA Stock Cars win: Johnny Fennewald of Appleton City took command on lap nine and went on to beat points leader William Garner for the 20-lap O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win. Derek Brown, who started third, grabbed the lead away from pole-starter Grayson McKinney coming out of turn four to complete lap three. Over the next several laps, five cars were separated by a second with Fennewald moving into second on lap seven. Fennewald maneuvered to the high side a couple of laps late and took the lead away from Brown. "I was really good on the bottom, but I was just pushing them and there was no sense of staying there," Fennewald said of his change of line. "I saw them till the top (during intermission) and I started moving up a groove each lap and I finally just sent it." After enduring one more restart, on lap 12, Fennewald drove away to take the win by 2.02 seconds over Garner with Brown coming home third. McKinney was fourth with Wettengel fifth. Fennewald doubles up in POWRi Late Models: Making his second trip to victory lane in a second division, Fennewald took command just after the halfway mark and beat Alan Westling for the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model victory. JC Morton and Westling ran 1-2 through the first five laps with Westling taking his first lead on lap six as they came out of turn four. Fennewald settled behind the duo in third and advanced into second on lap eight. It didn't take the fifth-starting Fennewald long to take over the top spot, going around Westland on the outside of turn two on lap 11. After that it was all Fennewald, who scored his second win of the evening after earning the USRA Stock Cars feature win earlier. In both races, he started on row three. Fennewald rolled from there and wound up a whopping 4.3 seconds in front of Westling. Fennewald won for the second time in the Late Models and is the only driver other than runaway points leader Justin Wells to win this season at the speedway. Wells, who's won nine features in 11 tries, finished third after starting seventh. "The car's pretty good," Fennewald said, noting the big difference in speed between the Stock Car and Late Model. "We've been working on it pretty hard. This thing is getting better and better. We're gonna start trying to bring it every week, if we can keep it in one piece." Morton finished fourth and Bryon Allison came home fifth. Christian takes a thriller in USRA Modifieds: Gary Christian of Broken Bow, Okla., made a final-turn pass of race-long leader Jason Pursley to earn his first Lucas Oil Speedway victory in the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds. Christian beat Pursley, the season points leader, by inches at the line as he sailed around the outside line on the final lap. "I just know how to get it done," Christian said. "We've been working really hard on this car." For most of the race, it was a battle between the Pursley family up front. Jason Pursley beat his son Dayton for the lead as the green flew to start the feature as the duo made it a family affair on the front row. Through 13 green-flag laps, they were never separated by more than a half-second as Jason continued to lead Dayton with Christian and Paden Phillips battling it out for third, 10 car lengths behind the leaders. The first caution appeared on lap 13, leaving seven laps to determine which Pursley would be better - or if someone could spoil the family tussle. Christian had a great restart and moved around Dayton Pursley for second. Christian moved to the high groove on the final lap and the two came to the finish side-by-side. Christian prevailed by inches in one of the closest finishes in recent years. He was scored .019 seconds in front. Dayton Pursley was third with Jeff Cutshaw fourth and Paden Phillips fifth. Wiles wires field in Show-Me Vintage Racers: Andy Wiles of Erie, Kan., held off Humansville's Danny Lorton over the final four laps to earn the Show-Me Vintage Racers 15-lap feature as the special guest class returned to the speedway. Wiles, who started third, led every lap for his third SMVR feature win of the season. Lorton, who started fifth, moved into second by lap 10, just before a caution flew to set up a four-lap sprint to the end. Wiles held off Lorton at the finish to captured the win by .601 seconds. Ninth-starting Brandon Jordan finished third with Jim Thorne fourth and Damon Clevenger fifth. "I just want to thank these guys for allowing me to run with them," Wiles said. "I love this track. This is my fourth time being here. My first time I was ever here, I won, so I like this place."

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Red-hot Gillmore streaks into Saturday's USRA B-Mod Twin 20s

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 24, 2024) - Ryan Gillmore has won a lot of USRA B-Mod races over the last decade, but probably has never been on a roll like his current one. The Springfield driver has won five features in a row at four different tracks over the last few weeks. On the drive home to Springfield following his latest triumph, last Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway, Gillmore said he was talking it over with wife Ashley and crew chief Austin Roberts. They agreed that, despite the rugged competition level in the B-Mod class, he no longer can fly under the radar. People notice when you win as much as Gillmore has. They're gonna start throwing the proverbial kitchen sink at him to upend the streak. "I'm excited, but a tiny bit naive at the same time," Gillmore said this week. "We're just working hard to be good and I get asked about how many in a row we've won. That's when I start thinking we have a lot of people looking at me now because we've been running good. "It's really cool, but it's also nerve-wracking," he added. "You don't want to lose the streak. You want to keep on clicking them off and run as good as you can." Gillmore puts his streak on the line Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway's Mickey Fleehart Memorial Fan Appreciation Night. The Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods will run Twin 20-lap features, each paying $1,000 to win. The first will be the normal Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series format. After a short break as the car park on the front stretch, drivers will get to change tires, add fuel and make adjustments. The fans will be asked to vote whether to invert the first half of the finishing order or the entire field for the second 20-lapper. Gillmore is pretty sure how that vote will go. "I think they'll vote for a full invert. Who wouldn't, if you're in the stands?" Gillmore said. No matter. Gillmore said he will go all out to win the first one and deal with the invert for feature two when it happens. He believes that several drivers have the ability to drive from the back to the front in 20 laps. "I'd say the race track will have some parity with lanes," Gillmore said. "You'll have your several guys that are gonna come from the back to the front. If we have a couple of yellow to break the race up and the parity in lines, I think you'll see a lot of people go a long ways. "I don't think it's too far-fetched to see a guy win from far back. I think you're definitely gonna see some movers and shakers. You're gonna see some smart racers make some smart moves that are gonna get themselves four or five spots at a time that you typically don't see." Gillmore, 31, has been a premier mover and shaker with 12 feature wins in 20 attempts this season, including a pair of victories at Lucas Oil Speedway. He doesn't race as often as some of the other top guns in the division, but tries to use time to his advantage with maintenance on the Dennis Choate-owned Allen Autosports chassis like never before. "We've been changing some things, slowly over the last month," Gillmore said. "I've also been paying a lot of attention to the particulars. I've always thought that I took good care of my stuff, but I'm getting really picky if there's anything at all that I think needs to be addressed. Whether I think it needs to be cleaned or maintained, I'll take it apart and put it back together. "I'm spending more time during the week working on that stuff, making sure that it's right. We have a lot really good cars that we're racing with. These guys that we're running with up front are racing several nights a week. I'm trying to make the most of it with fewer nights and hammering out the work so that when I do go, I make the most of my chances." Gillmore, a former USRA National Champion, said he does most of the preparation during the week, with Roberts living an hour away. But having his trusted crew chief on hand during race nights is invaluable, especially in the years since his dad, Gary "Bucky" Gillmore, passed away in 2021. "Austin's been with me the whole time, from all the way back to the front-wheel drive days in 2007 and Modifieds starting in 2014," Ryan Gillmore said. "He's always been there, but he really came on when my dad got sick, late in 2019 or '20. I don't know what my dad told him, but he listened." Gillmore said no one needs to tell him to go for the win in feature one on Saturday, if he has the chance. There will be no sandbagging to get a better starting spot for the finale. "With the guys we're racing with and as fast as the top 10 are, you take what you can get when you can get it," he said. "If you get a chance to win the first one, you go for it because it's gonna be even harder to win the second one. And vice versa. I don't think I'll try to lay back on any of them. I want to go forward and just race. "Honestly, I want to try and win both of them. I'm looking forward to getting to run 40 laps. I've alway liked longer races. I know it's split up into two, but these are 40 opportunities for me to learn and get faster."

  Reed captures Lucas Oil Speedway headliner, Garner doubles up on Veterans and Military Appreciation Night at the Races

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 20, 2024) - Robbie Reed took command with six laps remaining and held on for the headline victory on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Reed, of Mexico, Mo., beat Dayton Pursley in the Arctic Food Equipment USRA main event. He earned $1,000 with the victory on Veterans and Military Appreciation Night at the Races Presented by Horton Supply Company. Action began with William Garner earning the an O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature in a makeup of a July 4th rainout. Garner also finished the sweep with the feature win in the regular program. Other feature winners on were Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models) and Ryan Gillmore (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods. Pursley and reigning track champion Ryan Middaugh started on the front row and traded the lead on four consecutive laps to start the main event. Middaugh finally settled into the top spot after going back in front on lap four and set the pace with Pursley sticking close behind and Chad Lyle lurking in third. By lap 15, the top two had broken away as Robbie Reed moved into third. Reed, who started fifth, erased a two-second deficit over the next few laps and took the lead out of turn four on lap 19, with an outside pass of Middaugh and Pursley in lapped traffic out of turn four. That's when the first caution flew, leaving six laps to settle the outcome. Reed, the 2019 and 2020 track champion, drew away after the restart and went on to beat Pursley by 1.7 seconds at the finish. Paden Phillips rallied for third with Jason Pursley fourth and Dean Wille fifth. "That was a good one," Reed said. "That first six or eight laps, those guys were going. I didn't know if I was gonna be able to get up there to 'em or note. But as we got into traffic, it started working more my way and the car was good." Pursley, who's been impressing since moving up from the USRA B-Mod division a couple of months ago, had his best finish in the USRA Modified class. "I'm still nervous," Pursley said, noting the experienced drivers he was going wheel-to-wheel with. "I grew up watching those guys race. For the fans, I guarantee that race was a blast." Garner doubles up in USRA Stock Cars: William Garner tripled his Lucas Oil Speedway victory total, winning twice in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars division. Beck took the regular feature after taking a make-up win from a July 4th postponement to start the program. Pole-starting Derek Brown grabbed command at the outset of the regular Stock Cars with held the lead with Garner, who started seventh, rallying onto his back back bumper by lap 10 as Fennewald followed in third. Garner nudged his way on the inside, past Brown on lap 15, to take the lead coming out of turn four. "I was waiting and just trying to get the right moment," Garner said of the pass for the lead. "I knew I could get a really good drive off (turn) four. I was just biding my time, waiting. The opportunity came up and I just took it." Garner was pulling away until a lap-17 caution, the first yellow of the race, left three laps to determine the winner. But on this night, Garner was not to be denied as he scored the double triumph. He beat Fennewald by 1.4 seconds with Brown settling for third. Earlier, Garner took the July 4th make-up feature as he held off Mason Beck. Jaylen Wettengel started third but grabbed the lead at the start of the 18-lap race that picked up after two completed laps earlier this month. Garner was pressuring him for the lead when a lap-nine caution came out. Mason Beck went from fourth-to-first in just two laps after the restart, finding speed in the high groove. A caution with four laps left wiped out Beck's one-second lead. Garner worked his way around Beck with two to go and held on to prevail by .901 seconds. Wettengel was third and Bryan White fourth. After taking the checkers, Beck took a wild ride into turn two, landing on his roof. For Garner, it was his second feature victory of the season. While pleased with the win, he said he was sorry to see Beck's misfortune. "I'm glad he's OK. You hate to see people tear their stuff up like that," Garner said. Wells wins again in POWRi Late Models: Justin Wells of Aurora continued a season of dominance in the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models, winning for the ninth time in 10 attempts at the speedway. Wells grabbed the lead from Andy Bryant on lap five and never gave it up. Tucker Cox rallied for second with Tommy Cordray third. Bryant started on the pole and led the first four laps before Wells, who began in third, made an outside pass for the lead off turn two on lap five. Wells needed only four laps to put 1.5 seconds between himself and Bryant. That's when the race's first caution flag flew, taking away Wells' margin over Bryant and third-place Tucker Cox. Bryant lost three spots on the restart as Wells restored a widening gap over Cox as the laps ticked by. A lap-15 yellow as sixth-running Alan Westling spun took away a 1.7-second lead. Just as he's been nearly every week, Wells was up to the challenge the rest of the way. He beat Cox by about eight car lengths, or 1.6 seconds, for the victory. JC Morton finished fourth with Bryant fifth. Gillmore goes wire-to-wire USRA B-Mods: Ryan Gillmore of Springfield led from green to checkers in the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod main event, outdistancing Jon Sheets for his second feature win of the season. Overall, it was win No. 12 on the season. "I was running scared. There's a lot of really good cars I was racing with right there," Gillmore said. "I've been treating the car like my job recently. I've been working really hard, every little detail I can. There's some good money on the line coming up here shortly." Gillmore has won five in a row at four different tracks. A $30,000-to-win race is coming up soon at Arrowhead Speedway in Oklahoma that he's gearing up for. Gillmore dominated from the start Saturday as he bolted from his front-row starting spot to a three-second lead just six laps into the feature. At the midpoint on lap 10, he was 3.2 seconds in front of seventh-starting Jon Sheets. Gillmore caught lapped traffic by that point as the race remained green and that did not slow him down as the opened a 4.3-second gap over Sheets by lap 16. Colson Kirk finished third with Logan Smith fourth and Mitchell Franklin fifth.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Wille's season focus on Modifieds finds him in Weekly Championship Series hunt

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 17, 2024) - Over the years, Dean Wille has driven various types of race cars on Missouri-area dirt tracks. Modifieds, B-Mods, Stock Cars, Pure Stocks and even Late Models. If it has four tires and a motor, you likely will find Wille behind the wheel of something fast. This season, Wille has put most of his focus on his Modified. A regular at Lucas Oil Speedway, the 49-year-old from Warrensburg is a contender in the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified division, where he's fifth in points entering Saturday's Horton Supply Company Veterans and Military Appreciation Night at the Races. "I hadn't raced A Mods full time for two or three years," Wille said. "Just getting back in and getting in the hang of things, we tried some things that didn't work out that I thought would. We've just had a little bit of a learning curve, but I feel we're going in the right direction." The USRA Modifieds headline the action with a 25-lap, $1,000-to-win feature on Saturday with all military veterans or active duty personnel admitted free with ID. Wille finished 12th in Lucas Oil Speedway's O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Car division in 2023 after winding up fifth in that class in 2022, when he picked up his first Wheatland feature victory. He's still dabbling in Stock Cars occasionally at other area tracks this season, but made the decision to go back to his preferred division. "If the A Mod can be raced someplace close to home, I'm gonna race it," Wille said. "If not, we'll race the Stock Car. It's kind of my priority. We're trying to get this thing figured out. I feel like we're close. Just made several changes last week and gained a whole bunch and making a few more this week. We're going in right direction. "We've just been slow. We've been anywhere from four to eight-tenths of a second behind, just needing some overall speed right now." Wille, who piled up 14 Modified feature wins in 2012, said, "I've raced it the most over the years. It's always been the preferred class for me." "We have really good equipment with a Hughes chassis. Jason (Hughes) was fast last year at the end of the year and at the start of this year, and now he's been on a little bit of a struggle bus. We've all been working together to figure out what everybody's doing and where the speed's at." Wille has been up front at times, with a second-place run at Lucas Oil Speedway on April 20th and a third on June 22nd. He's 52 points behind Jason Pursley in a crowded top five of the track standings. "We're not really points chasing at Wheatland," Wille said. "We may end up at the end of the year chasing. We're still in the top 10 and may end up rearranging some things on the schedule toward the end. We'll see how it plays out over the next couple of weeks." Team sponsors include Gator Graphics, Royal Roofing & Solar, Cuttin' Up Meat Processing, Cornerstone Cornucopia Gift Shop, Central Power & Diesel and The Woodshed. He said Jason Thompson, Austin Payne and his wife, Crista Wille, have provided key help during race nights. "We've had a lot of fun, we've had good finishes, we just haven't had the consistent finishes and that's what we're striving for," Wille said. "I feel we're on the cusp of figuring some stuff out." Extra racing also will be included on the Saturday program. The completion of the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature, which was postponed by threatening weather on July 4th, will begin the show, following hot laps. The regular program with all four classes follows with the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models joining the Modifieds and Stock Cars. Driver ticket giveaway: This Saturday marks the annual ticket giveaway to regulars in the four weekly divisions. Each driver gets up to 50 general admission grandstand tickets at payout, good for the Aug. 24th Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night. Drivers with the most tickets used on Aug. 24th will win one free season crew member pit pass for 2025. Kids' Pit Tour: Before this week's action, flagman Mike Striegel will lead a group of youngsters on a golf-car tour of the pits where they will have a chance to meet drivers and collect autographs. The kids can sign up at the RCR Designs Jr Fan Club table on the midway for a chance to enter the drawing for the tour, which starts at 5:15 p.m. Pits open at 4 p.m. with grandstands at 4:30, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.

  Horton Supply Company Veterans and Military Appreciation Night set for Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 15, 2024) - Lucas Oil Speedway has a long tradition of recognizing active-duty military and veterans before each racing program. This week, it will be taken to an even higher level with Horton Supply Company Veterans and Military Night at the Races. All veterans and active duty military members will be admitted free with ID as the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series resumes. The Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds will headline the program with a special 25-lap, $1,000-to-win main event. "I especially enjoy this particular weekly show as we get to show our special respects to the veterans and military personnel of all our branches of service," said Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton, himself a United States Navy veteran. "Acknowledging our military is one of our great weekly traditions at Lucas Oil Speedway, but this week they get just a little more special treat of free admission. It's just one way of saying thanks to those special men and women." Extra racing also will be included on the program. The completion of the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature, which was postponed by threatening weather on July 4th, will begin the program following hot laps. Action then moves into the regular four classes with Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models joining the Modifieds and Stock Cars. Season championship battles are hot in three of the four divisions. Jaylen Wettengel of Topeka, Kan., holds a one-point edge on William Garner of Lebanon in the USRA Stock Cars. Springfield's JC Morton paces the B-Mods with a 34-point lead over Nevada's Jon Sheets and Jason Pursley of Hermitage has a 39-point cushion over Fulton's Ryan Middaugh in USRA Modifieds. It's a runaway in the POWRi Late Models as Justin Wells of Aurora, winner of eight of nine features at the speedway this season, leads runner-up Tucker Cox of Jefferson City by 390 points. Driver ticket giveaway: This Saturday marks the annual ticket giveaway to regulars in the four weekly divisions. Each driver gets up to 50 general admission grandstand tickets at payout, good for the Aug. 24th Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night.

  Lucas Oil Speedway CMH Diamond Nationals Spotlight: Looney still aims high, despite part-time racing status

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 11, 2024) - No matter how much or how little Payton Looney races, he always will have a cherished trophy on his Late Model resume: Show-Me 100 champion. Looney scored a popular win for the home-area fans in 2020 when the Republic driver captured the Show-Me 100 at Lucas Oil Speedway, becoming only the second Missourian to bag the crown-jewel event. He went on to lead the Lucas Oil MLRA Series championship chase most of that season before falling just short of the title. Since that time, Looney has dialed back his racing schedule, focusing on family and work commitments. Not that his passion for racing has waned when the chances arise. Any time he goes to the track, Looney believes he can run up front. That will be no different on Saturday night when the 30-year-old enters the 18th annual CMH Diamond Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment at Lucas Oil Speedway. "The goal never changes and if it does, I need to find a different hobby," Looney said of his desire of contending for a victory with the biggest names of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA. Achieving that goal is more challenging as a part-time competitor. Looney has run his lightly raced Capital chassis only a handful of times since trading his Show-Me 100-winning car for it last season. Luck has not been an ally in 2024 as Looney has entered three Super Late Model events and left two with mechanical issues. Looney didn't make the Show-Me 100 starting field in May after a first-night steering issue buried him in qualifying points. Last weekend at Monett Speedway, in the new Southern Outlaw Late Model Series, he was felled by rear-end gear issues. Last season he suited up nine times with a fourth place in the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson, a Show-Me 100 preliminary, the highest finish. That got him into the big show, but he pulled off early and wound up 29th. Asked how frustrating the season has been so far, Looney laughed and said, "I don't race enough to get super down." "Yeah, it is frustrating, but hopefully we get it turned around (Saturday) at a place where we've had a lot of success in the past." As for the gap that widens a bit more each season against those who race for a living, Looney said it's reality of the situation. That would be different if he was still keeping a regular Late Model racing schedule, but Looney is happy about where he's at in life. He and wife Emilee are raising son Baylor (6) and daughter Elliott (4). Baylor is playing multiple sports and has a youth baseball tournament on Saturday. "I can watch the early games before we leave for the races," he said. "The kids are good, the wife is good. We are living a good life. "I always look forward to racing (at Wheatland) in front of friends and family. Hopefully we can have a good showing and make the race and be competitive." Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, Ga., is defending champ of the Diamond Nationals and will be shooting for his fifth win in the $20,000-to-win event. Davenport also will be shooting for his ninth feature victory at Lucas Oil Speedway over the last two seasons. Also on the Saturday program will be the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds, chasing $1,000-to-win, and the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars with a $750 top prize. Pit gates open at 4 pm.

  18th annual CMH Diamond Nationals roll into Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 9, 2024) - The mission for the rest of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series field at Saturday's 18th annual CMH Diamond Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment would seem pretty clear cut. Don't let Jonathan Davenport get the lead. Otherwise, the Blairsville, Ga., driver might not give it up. Davenport will be shooting for his ninth feature victory at Lucas Oil Speedway over the last two seasons when the stars of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA return to Wheatland for the mid-summer classic. The Diamond Nationals winner - Davenport is defending champ - will earn $20,000 and a diamond ring. Not only has Davenport won at Lucas Oil Speedway often, he's done so in dominant fashion. In those eight wins since April 1, 2023, Davenport has led an astonishing 235 of 240 laps. That included a wire-to-wire triumph at the Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism on May 25th of this year and all 90 laps of last summer's now-defunct SRX Series where he topped a podium that included Brad Keselowski and Ken Schrader. Davenport enters a three-race Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series swing that begins Thursday at 34 Raceway second in championship points behind Ricky Thornton Jr. Intrigue was injected into the series in recent days with the announcement that Thornton and SSI Motorsports have parted ways, despite his success in the first half of 2024. Thornton, of Chandler, Ariz., won more than 60 races with the team over the past two seasons. Three of those have been at Lucas Oil Speedway, in preliminary nights for the Show-Me 100 and a Lucas Oil MLRA Spring Nationals feature. Thornton drove a car owned by Steve Sheppard in a Monday FloRacing Night in America Tour at Lincoln (Ill.) Speedway, where he finished seventh. The series lead for Thornton if 235 points over Davenport with Devin Moran of Dresden, Ohio 355 behind. Also on the Saturday program will be the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds, chasing $1,000-to-win, and the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars with a $750 top prize. Pit gates open at 4 pm. Saturday with grandstands at 5, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.

  Wells rolls in headline feature at Lucas Oil Speedway Casey's Thursday Night Thunder as Sheets, Johnson also grab wins

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 4, 2024) - Score another Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model victory for Justin Wells at Lucas Oil Speedway. The veteran driver from Aurora led all 25 laps to capture the Casey's Thursday Night Thunder Presented by State Tech feature headliner. It was his eighth feature win in nine attempts at Lucas Oil Speedway this season and earned him $1,000. Also winning features on the program, which included the annual Kids' Bicycle Giveaway during intermission and post-race fireworks, were Jon Sheets (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Matt Johnson (Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds). After three cautions before an official lap could be completed in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature, lightning began moving into the vicinity of the speedway and the feature was postponed. A total of 119 cars checked into the pits for the holiday special. Wells posted victory No. 113 in his 2006 TNT chassis. He needed only five laps to open a 1.2-second lead over Andy Bryant with Tucker Cox running third. Bryant whittled the margin to one-quarter second by lap 10 as he pulled within two car lengths of the leader. As Wells started to weave through lapped traffic, he extended the lead back to just over one second before Bryant again was able to close in. Just as before, Wells seemed to find an extra boost when needed and he again opened a one-second gap by lap 17 as the green-flag laps clicked by. Wells kept it rolling from there to pick up his latest victory, finishing one second behind Bryant at the checkers in a caution-free main event. Cox finished third with Brandon Conkwright coming from 10th to fourth and Jim Greenway fifth. Wells said he had some doubts about what kind of track to expect after it was reworked during intermission. But any fears that it would not to be to his liking were put aside quickly. "I wondered what it would do, whether it would be too fast," Wells said. "The track was multi-grip anywhere you want to go. Hats off to (track superintendent Richard Turner) because the track was awesome." Wells extended his points lead, which was a huge 340-point margin over Cox to begin the night, to 360 points. Sheets wires field for USRA B-Mod win: Jon Sheets of Nevada started up front and led all 20 laps to earn the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature over Shadren Turner. Sheets started on the pole and led Turner through the first nine laps, opening a .791-second lead. That's when the first caution came out for a two-car mishap in turn two. The two leaders broke away after the restart with Turner pressuring Sheets for the lead. Turner briefly went in front on lap 14, but Sheets crossed back over in turn three to regain the top spot. They were separated by .356 seconds when a lap-16 caution slowed the field, leaving four laps to settle the outcome. Sheets took advantage of a slip by Turner on the restart and rolled away to his second feature win of the season. He finished 1.3 seconds in front of Turner with Trevor Drake third, Logan Smith a season-best fourth and Andy Bryant fifth. "We have a really good racecar right now," Sheets said after knocking down his 10th feature win of the season overall. "Big props to Eagle Machine. They make good power, and J2 Chassis, they're awesome, and our whole list of sponsors." Matt Johnson earns USRA Modifieds triumph: Matt Johnson led all 20 laps, overcoming a couple of restarts after cautions, to beat Robbie Reed for the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified win. Johnson, from Archie, Mo., used the outside groove to lead fellow front-row starter Reed on the opening lap. By lap four, Johnson had built a 1.6-second lead over Reed with Chad Lyle running in third. That's when action slowed for a caution. Johnson's domination continued after the restart, with his lead swelling to 2.3-second at the midpoint on lap 10, with Lyle having moved past Reed for second. Three laps later, the race's second caution flew to set up a restart with seven laps left. There were no problems for Johnson the rest of the way. He drove to a 1.6-second win over Reed. Dayton Pursley, a USRA Modified rookie after moving up from B-Mods, finished third with Houston Johnson fourth and Lyle fifth. "Thank you to all the fans for showing up.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Young Logan Smith looks to keep building in B-Mod division

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 2, 2024) - On the surface, Logan Smith's seventh-place feature run earlier this season at Lucas Oil Speedway probably didn't open many eyes. But in the deep water of the talented Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod division, it was a notable step for the young driver from El Dorado Springs. Smith, 20, is a solid fifth in the season points entering the special Casey's Thursday Night Thunder Kids' Night at the Races Presented by State Tech. He's looking to put his Rage chassis consistently closer to the front as he gains more and more experience. "I grew up as a kid watching the races there and to win would mean so much," Smith said of Lucas Oil Speedway. "I think it would be awesome. It's close to home. It would be amazing. We're definitely trying. We're not giving up there yet." Smith is in his sixth season of racing after his uncle, Luke McGee, helped him get started in go-karts. He made the jump to Midwest Mods and then B-Mods in 2022, winning feature races at Bolivar Speedway and Nevada Speedway. This season saw early highlights, as he picked up a victory at Electric City Speedway and a second at Arrowhead Speedway. Overall, he has compiled 11 top-five finishes at a combined seven tracks. "We started off really strong and feel pretty good right now," Smith said. "Hopefully we can make the car more consistent." Driving weekly in the Big Adventure RV Championship Series at Lucas Oil Speedway figures to make Smith even better as he gains more seat time. He said former USRA B-Mod national champions JC Morton and Ryan Gillmore are drivers he models himself after. "It feels really good when you get to run with Gillmore and Morton weekly," Smith said. "I always look at those guys and think, 'maybe one of these days.' I just need seat time. I definitely look up at those guys as role models, for sure. "I just need to keep my composure and keep grinding." Smith said that patience can sometimes be an issue. "I'm pretty hard on myself," Smith said. "I want to win every race and of course we all know you can't win every race. You just have to keep grinding and keep trying." While Smith said he's yet to ask veterans like Morton and Gillmore for advice, he does have a couple of more important area Modified veterans on his side. Those are fellow El Dorado Springs resident Chase Jones along with Trevor Drake. "Chase Jones is one of my best friends. He builds my engines and helps me tons on the Modified program," Smith said, adding that Jones has been helpful with set-up advice. "I just sometimes get in left field and tell him, 'here, do what you want to do.' He gives me advice to just calm down and think about it. He's been very helpful," Smith added. Smith's next outing is set or the annual Casey's Thursday Night Thunder Kids' Night at the Races Presented by State Tech. It's always a big night at Lucas Oil Speedway, with a kids' bicycle giveaway during intermission and the area's biggest fireworks display following the races.

  Courtney takes command late to capture Kubota High Limit Diamond Classic Night One feature victory

  WHEATLAND, MO. (June 28, 2024) - Tyler Courtney took the lead with five laps remaining Friday night and went on to capture Night One of the Kubota High Limit Racing Diamond Classic at Lucas Oil Speedway. Courtney, of Indianapolis, roared from third and into the lead after a lap 24 restart and went on to earn $10,000 with his fourth Kubota High Limit Racing feature win of the season. He beat Brad Sweet at the finish with James McFadden capturing third. The series returns for Saturday night's Diamond Classic finale with $25,000 awaiting the feature winner. "The last time I ran here, I won in a Midget (in 2016) and it's pretty cool to come back in a winged car and have success," the ninth-starting Courtney said in victory lane. "That was fun, a lot of fun." Courtney, driving for Clauson Marshall Racing, finished two seconds clear at the checkers as he pulled away from Brad Sweet and the rest after taking the lead on lap 25. He was the fourth and final leader of the 30-lapper. "The track was quite a bit different than the heats, but I don't think you could ask for much more than that," Courtney said of the action-packed event. "There was racing everywhere. A hot day, but a great day." Courtney picked up an additional $4,500 along with lucky fan Patrick Walker after the Durst Dice Roll, which was a nine - and Courtney won from ninth. Sye Lynch won the drag race with fellow front-row starter Corey Day and grabbed the lead at the drop of the green, with Sweet settling into third. The top three were separated by only one second when the first caution flew on lap three. Day grabbed the lead away from Lynch on the restart and used the cushion on the high side to open a 1.7-second lead in just four laps. He soon was dealing with lapped traffic and suddenly slowed to a crawl entering turn three on lap 10. Day, who won two nights earlier at Lake Ozark Speedway, was unable to continue. Lynch re-inherited the lead with Sweet second and Courtney third. Lynch pulled away after the restart to lead by nearly two seconds by lap 15. Action ground to a half at that point as Brent Marks rolled his car in turn four, bringing out the red flag. Sweet swept to the lead after the restart, coming on the outside of turn four to complete lap 17. Before he could get too far away from Lynch, a lap-20 caution flew as two cars spun in turn four. Lynch was applying the heat to Sweet with Courtney right behind when a caution appeared on lap 23 for a one-car spin in turn four, leaving seven laps to settle things. Courtney took second away from Lynch on lap 24, then grabbed the top spot the next time around. Courtney rolled from there, driving away for the victory over series points leader Sweet. McFadden, who started 13th, captured third with 14th-starting Tanner Thorson fourth and Lynch winding up fifth. "Luckily I was third there and Sye got Brad to moving around," Courtney said. "I just stuck to my guns there and just ran the top as hard as I could and came away with the win." Sweet said his car was not quite have the car dialed in enough to win. "I'm happy to get locked into a little bit better spot for tomorrow," Sweet said. "That's important on this prelim nights to run top four. I felt I wasn't quite good enough to win, no matter which line I was trying to run or make work it seemed like someone was pushing me. "Sye was getting back to my inside, so I committed to the inside. I just wasn't good enough. I had to slow the car down way too much to run the bottom, but running the top I would get spinning on the (turn) exit. Tyler was just clearly a little bit better than us tonight." Marks of Myerstown, Pa., set the fast qualifying time with a lap of 13.039 seocnds. That came up just shy of the track record held by Garet Williamson, who ran a 12.998 in the POWRi 410 Bandit Sprint Series on Aug. 19, 2023. Tyler Davis wins Heartland Modifieds: Tyler Davis of Haysville, Kan., took over the lead on lap 21 and held on to beat Tad Davis by half a second in the Heartland Modified Tour feature. Tad Davis rolled to the lead at the start and opened a 1.1-second lead over Chad Wheeler by lap 10. The leaders hit heavy lapped traffic soon after with Wheeler pulling alongside Tad Davis a couple of times, but was unable to get by. Tyler Davis joined the battle with Wheeler for second and he was able to take over with four laps to go. Gabe Hodges rallied late to grab third with Wheeler fourth and Kenton Allen coming home in fifth. The winner said he felt the continuous green-flag run worked to his advantage. Tyler Davis started third, right behind Tad Davis and Wheeler. "When we first took off, it was kind of humid out here tonight and it's easy to spin the tires," Tyler Davis said. "Once we got rolling, the maneuverability of our car showed. We've got some new stuff we were trying tonight and it was pretty good. "I'm glad to get back to victory lane. We've been getting our butt kicked lately against the USMTS Tour. I'm just happy to be up here." The Heartland Modified Tour will again be in action as support class for Saturday's Diamond Classic finale.

  Five drivers to watch as Kubota High Limit Diamond Classic makes its first visit to Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (June 27, 2024) - One of the most-anticipated events of the Lucas Oil Speedway season is coming up Friday and Saturday with the inaugural Kubota High Limit Racing Diamond Classic. Feature winners will earn $10,000 on Friday with the stakes rising to $25,000 for Saturday's main-event winner. While many of the nation's elite 410 Winged Sprint drivers will be on hand, here are five to keep an eye on: Corey Day: The 18-year-old from Clovis, California, already was considered a rising star in the open-wheel world before he joined the Kubota High Limit series prior to the 2024 season. Day has lived up to the billing with five series feature victories, the latest of which might have been the most impressive. Day drove from a 15th starting position to the front in just 14 laps at Wednesday's Kubota High Limit Midweek Money Series at Lake Ozark Speedway. Day led the rest of the way to earn the $20,000 prize. It continued a huge recent stretch for Day. Last weekend, he won $79,6000 at the Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway in Burlington, Washington. Earlier this year, he drove a late model on pavement for the first time, for JR Motorsports, and won a feature at Hickory Speedway in North Carolina. Brad Sweet: The 38-year-old Sweet, from Grass Valley, Calif., co-owns the Kubota High Limit Series with his brother-in-law, Kyle Larson. One of the big winners in sprint-car racing for two decades, Sweet leads the Kubota High Limit points chase and has six feature wins and 24 top-10 finishes in 25 events. The five-time World of Outlaw Sprint champion also has extensive experience driving in the NASCAR Nationwide Xfinity Series and Truck Series. Tyler Courtney: Another long-time big name in open-wheel racing, the 30-year-old from Indianapolis sits second in Kubota High Limit points 88 behind Sweet with three feature victories in the Clauson-Marshall Racing No. 7BC. After dominating the USAC ranks in the late 2010s with a Sprint Car and Midget championship to go along with 50-plus wins across three divisions, Courtney switched to wing racing in 2021 and quickly became one of the nation's best. Rico Abreu: Hailing from St. Helena, Calif., the 32-year-old Abreu has picked up two feature wins on the Kubota High Limit circuit in 2024 and stands fifth in points coming to Lucas Oil Speedway. Abreu emerged on the national scene by wining the Chili Bowl in back-to-back years, 2015 and 2016. Abreu won four of six Kubota High Limit Midweek Madness races in 2023 and came up a close second to Kyle Larson for the points title before signing on for full-time High Limit Racing in 2024. Ryan Timms: Another up-and-coming open-wheel star has experience finding victory lane at Lucas Oil Speedway. Ryan Timms, a 17-year-old from Oklahoma City, captured the prestigious Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial championship last fall, earning $10,000. In limited action with the Kubota High Limit circuit in 2024, Timms has picked up a pair of top-10 finishes. He has eight feature wins overall this season. Two-night reserved tickets at $80 are on sale online or by calling Admissions Director Nichole McMillan at (417) 295-6043 or they can be purchased online. Support class for the The Kubota High Limit Racing Diamond Classic is the Modified Invitational featuring the Heartland Modified Tour.

The HMT invitees are Chad Wheeler, Jason Pursley, Dakota Dale, Kenton Allen, Dean Wille, Tyler Wolff, Henry Chambers, Chevy Coleman, Jarret Dotson, Nic Bidinger, Gunner Martin, Tad Davis and Brandon Givens; Lucas Oil Speedway has invited Joe Duvall, Rick Beebe, Chris Kratzer, Terry Phillips, Greg Scheffler, Trevor Hughes, Gabe Hodges, Chase Sigg, Ryan Middaugh, Tanner Mullens, Robbie Reed, Tyler Davis, Dayton Pursley and Chad Lyle.

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

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

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

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