- Patient Wolff claims Modified finale as USRA Nationals conclude at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 4, 2025) - Tyler Wolff's patience paid off Saturday night as the veteran driver from Fayetteville, Ark., took over over in the late going to claim the finale of the 12th annual Summit USRA Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway. Wolff earned $5,000 for the USRA Modified 50-lap win as he beat Brandon Davis by a couple of car lengths for the victory in the final race of the marathon week of action. With 314 total entries on the final night, other feature winners were Kris Jackson (B-Mods), Jaylen Wettengel (Stock Cars), Dustin Gulbrandson (Hobby Stocks) and Jason Weber (Tuners). Wolff, winning for the second time in four nights, spent the majority of the race chasing 18-year-old Harley Dais who led the first 39 laps. Dais, of Winona, Minn., started on the pole and needed only five laps to open a nearly two-second lead over Wolff. Dais lost ground in the traffic as Kyle Brown closed within a car length by the mid point on lap 25. Brown slipped up on lap 33, allowing Dais to expand his lead to 1.4 seconds, his biggest advantage of the race. Wolff re-emerged as a contender by lap 39, passing Brown. Then Wolff grabbed the lead away from Dais on lap 40, taking over headed into turn three. Just one lap later, caution slowed the action and set up a nine-lap sprint to the finish as Wolff led Dais and Brown. "I was trying (to be patient) but it sure is hard," Wolff said. "My patience is not very good. Man, that was a test of patience. Seeing him out front, I was wanting to go so bad I couldn't see straight. Finally, Kyle Brown got by me and I was like 'I need to get going a little bit better.' " After leading the first 39 laps, Dais faded to fourth after the restart as Brandon Davis drove to second ahead of Brandon Givens. Davis took the lead on lap 44, but Wolff bounced back to the front the next time around. The entertaining battle was put on hold for caution at that point. Dais, meanwhile, fell out of the race with mechanical issues with five laps remaining and fourth-running Brown also saw his night come to an end when his car slowed on the restart. Wolff held off Davis as action resumed and finished a mere .199 seconds ahead at the checkers. Davis had to settle for second with Givens third, Nic Bidinger fourth and Alex Williamson fifth. "I changed my line up and tried to be a little more aggressive and not wear the tires out. We made it work," Wolff said. Houston Johnson of Kansas City finished eighth as he nailed down his first USRA Modified Championship after 26 overall wins this season. "It's awesome and probably hasn't sank in just yet," Johnson said. "That's the goal I set out for at the beginning of the year. It wasn't easy. A lot of miles and a lot of late nights, but it's worth it." Jackson captures B Mod feature: Kris Jackson led all 40 laps, but it wasn't easy as the Lebanon driver held off a pair of hard-charging challengers over the final laps for the $4,000 USRA B-Mod victory. Jackson started on the outside of the three-deep front row and he took the early lead with Sheets advancing from fourth to second by lap four. Jackson pulled out to a half-second margin over Sheets by lap 10 of the 40-lapper. Sheets began to close in on Jackson as those two broke away from third-place Chad Clancy by 2.5 seconds. Jackson's lead was a slim .237 seconds when action slowed for caution on lap 18. It was more of the same as action resumed, with Jackson and Sheets battling it out for the lead. Jackson had the answer each time Sheets challenged, with periodic cautions occurring as the two were putting on a good show up front. After a lap 29 restart, Clancy was able to slide past Sheets on the outside. Jackson was able to take advantage of Clancy and Sheets fighting for second to built his lead to nearly one second by lap 35. The challengers closed in on Jackson with three to go, the duo three-wide coming to the line to finish lap 38. Jackson rode the high groove and held on to score the win, beating Sheets by .546 seconds with Clancy third. Andy Bryant was fourth, more than four seconds behind the winner and Stephen Clancy rallied for fifth from 26th. "We've got a great group of people in our race cars," Jackson said, noting the top three finishers were in J2 chassis that he and cousin Tony Jackson Jr. designed and Sheets bought the company last year. "I know Jon is going to be there waiting for me to mess up. I'm just glad I didn't hit the wall too many times. I'm not very good at that." Wettengel claims Stock Cars victory: It was all Jaylen Wettengel in the USRA Stock Cars feature, as the Topeka, Kan., driver led 37 of 40 laps for the $4,000 win. Wettengel rolled from the inside of row one to the lead and he opened a lead of nearly one second through eight laps over Myles Michehl. Wettengel hugged the low groove to maintain the top spot even as Michel pulled within a car length after a dozen laps. The first caution flew on lap 14 with Wettengel's lead sitting at .439 seconds over Michehl with Josh Cain in third. Wettengel continued to set the pace after the restart, with a one-second gap over Michehl at the midway point on lap 20. Wettengel's lead was more than one second at the 30-lap mark with no signs of slowing down, even in lapped traffic. But the field got a reprieve with eight to go as a third caution of the race flew. Michehl took advantage of the opportunity and took the lead on lap 35 with an outside pass in turn four. Back came Wettengel, regaining the lead on lap 38 after diving to the bottom in turns one and two to get the advantage. Wettengel held on to claim the win by .672 seconds over Michehl with Josh Cain third, Derek Green going from 26th to fourth and Shayne Bailey fifth. "That whole race I knew there were heavy hitters behind me," Wettengel said. "Michehl was there, Cain was back there, I seen (Justin) Custer coming up through the field. I knew if I just stuck to my guns on the bottom ... there's always grip to this place coming off the bottom. If you just stay committed, it'll work out for you." Gulbrandson caps Hobby Stocks title with feature win: Seventh-starting Dustin Gulbrandson of Sioux Falls, S.D., wrapped up a USRA National Championship with a victory in the Hobby Stocks, taking over the lead with 10 laps remaining. It was his 20th feature win of the year and was worth $1,500. Parker Anderson led the first 19 laps, but lost it to Gulbrandson on a lap-20 restart. Three laps later, Friday night's Hobby Stocks winner Taylor Donlan brought out a red flag with a spin in turn four that drew contact that left his car on its side. Gulbrandson steadily increased his lead after the restart as the USRA Hobby Stocks points leader picked up the win by 1.29 seconds over Anderson with Scott Dobel third, Nick Brady fourth and Kevin Lacy fifth. "That was definitely the longest race we've had all year," Gulbrandson said in victory lane. "I'm fat and out of shape, so I was happy to see the white flag there. I about gave it away with two to go. Hats off to the track prep crew. I don't think we could have had a better track." USRA Tuners win to Weber: Jason Weber of Enid, Okla., held on to claim a thriller over Steven Bevills in the $1,000-to-win USRA Tuners main event. Bevills set the pace from his front-row starting spot before Weber took over the top position on lap eight. Sean Leasure joined the battle at the front and went into second on lap 13. The top three broke away, staying within a half second of one another as the laps clicked by. As Bevills and Leasure jostled for second, Weber was able to open some breathing room and he went on to take the checkers by a few feet - .041 seconds over Bevills - to be exact as the runner-up made a last-lap charge. "I seen it was Bevills behind me and me and Bevills had been joking all day about it," Weber said. "I knew he wasn't gonna do nothing to screw me up. I just squeezed him down a little bit. Rubbin's racin'." Leasure took third with Dylan Whitley fourth and Kollin Teafatiller fifth.

- Davenport Dominates to Win Second Straight Pittsburgher
IMPERIAL, PA (October 4, 2025) - Jonathan Davenport repeated his performance from a year ago by leading all 70 laps to win the 37th Annual Pittsburgher Saturday night at Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway, earning $50,000. Davenport started third on the grid, and by the end of the first lap, he was out front. Max Blair earned the Hoker Trucking Hard Charger of the Race after moving from 13th to finish second. Devin Moran completed the Big River Steel Podium in third, taking a 15-point lead in the championship standings into the season finale at Eldora Speedway in two weeks. Ricky Thornton Jr finished fourth, with Brandon Sheppard rounding out the top five drivers. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 92nd time in his career, the Blairsville, Georgia driver heads to Eldora in two weeks, third in the championship points, as he looks to try and win his first career Dirt Track World Championship. "It's definitely really hard to lead here; the track is so wide. There are a lot of options and different lanes to choose from. I had to judge off of lapped cars - once I got behind them, I was just trying to maintain my momentum until I reached them. Our car felt pretty good; I was just trying to manage my tires during the first 40 or 50 laps so I'd have something left at the end. We weren't that good yesterday and really couldn't understand why, so we second-guessed ourselves. We put our heads together, talked about it, thought it through, and came up with a game plan for today," said the three-time series champion. "There are always 'what ifs' in the back of your mind, and then you realize the guys lining up behind you, and you don't know if they've been saving their tires or running a different line than you have. It started to clear up just a little bit through one and two around the mid part of the race, and then after we had that long caution, everyone kept rolling through it, I guess, through the mud and everything, which kind of covered it back up. I was searching for a few laps after that caution, but the grip finally came back. You never know what's happening behind you, and it can change in a hurry. We could run over something and get a flat or have a mechanical issue, so luckily none of that happened." Blair, who finished third in the Friday Night program, charged through the field to secure second place on lap 61 and earned $20,000 for his runner-up finish in the Centerline Motorsports entry. "Well, the first thing I thought of was Lernerville. I thought I was going to finish second to him (Davenport), but we ended up finishing third, and there's a really big pay difference between second and third. So, I really didn't want to give away second. I mean, he was better than everybody else. I ran him down in the last couple of laps, but I think that was just more of him not wanting to get into lapped traffic. I'm sure his crew was telling him he was okay. I think he kind of had everybody covered. But to come here and run second against these guys is pretty awesome, for sure." Moran moved past Thornton after a late restart to secure third place as he leaves Pittsburgh 15 points ahead of Thornton. "I really think that when we got to lapped traffic, Brandon Overton showed me the top line, and my car was so bad off the top that I had to commit to it. At the same time, I had to be careful not to get flats like Brandon did tonight or Ricky did last night. It's definitely a fine line between going really hard and causing problems. I'm just glad we salvaged that race; we were struggling badly early on, but we managed to find the high line. Pittsburgh did an awesome job with the track all weekend long." The winner's Double L Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, Dyna Gro Seed, ASC Warranty, Mark Martin Automotive Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas, VP Fuels, and Midwest Sheet Metal. Completing the top ten were Carson Ferguson, Garrett Alberson, Mason Zeigler, Josh Richards, and Brandon Overton.

- Sheets uses late heroics for B-Mod win on Night 3 of USRA Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 3, 2025) - Jon Sheets led only one lap, but it was the most-important one. Sheets capitalized on a late-race restart to capture the USRA B-Mod feature win on Night Three of the 12th annual Summit USRA Nationals on Friday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. The reigning USRA national champion out of Nevada, Mo., rallied to score his 16th win of the season. Other feature winners as a total of 298 cars entered in the five competing divisions were Nic Bidinger (Modifieds), Boone Evans (Stock Cars), Taylor Donlan (Hobby Stocks) and Cale Hancock (Tuners). From outside of row one, Mitchell Franklin roared to the lead in the B-Nod feature and set the pace and was in front by 1.1 seconds when caution waved on lap three. Franklin got rolling after the restart as Andy Bryant advanced to second with Sheets third. Bryant caught and passed Franklin headed into turn three as the race hit the halfway mark on lap 10. Two laps later, Sheets supplanted Franklin for second and pulled within a car length of Bryant. Sheets stalked the leader over the next several laps before pulling alongside on lap 15, but Sheets hit a bump in turn two that cost him nearly a second to the leader. That was all Bryant needed as he opened a 1.7-second lead when caution flew on the white-flag lap as Franklin spun in turn four while running in fourth. That made for a green-white-checkered shootout and Sheets made the most of it. Sheets - the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod track champion this season at Lucas Oil Speedway - sailed around the high side out of turn four to prevail over Shadren Turner by .420 seconds with Bryant slipping to third. "I knew Andy's not gonna bobble on top," Sheets said of the final restart. "What a race car we had. We went to work today. I had a lot of people ask 'are you even gonna race because we're top three in the points.' But I've sucked the last two nights and we needed to get a little bit better and we might have hit on something. We were pretty good all over the race track." Taylor Skauge was fourth and Boone Evans came home in fifth. Bidinger rolls to Modifieds triumph: Another driving using home-track advantage, Nick Bidinger of Perry, Kan., was a wire-to-wire winner in the 25-lap USRA Modified feature as he beat Keith Foss. The 2025 Lucas Oil Speedway Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified track champion, set the early pace from his front-row starting spot with Foss advancing from sixth to second by lap four. Foss, of Winona, Minn., pressured Bidinger over several laps but Bidinger was able to maintain the lead and stretch it out to just under one second by lap 12. Bidinger was in front of Foss by 1.2 seconds with Kyle Brown third when caution flew on lap 15. Bidinger had a clean restart and quickly regained a one-second command by the 20-lap mark. He was able to bring it home from there, prevailing over Foss by 1.14 seconds. "It helps us a lot and we came out with a really good base set-up," Bidinger said of what his regular-season success means at Wheatland this week. Brown was third, Brandon Givens fourth and Tyler Wolff fifth. Evans goes wire to wire for Stock Cars win: Boone Evans of Bullard, Texas, led all 20 laps and held off Chance Larson by a razor-thin margin at the checkers to take the USRA Stock Cars main event. "Winning at Lucas Oil Speedway is a dream, for any kid," Evans said. "I grew up watching Late Models on Sundays on MAV-TV from this place. I'd have never thought this would happen." Evans took the lead at the start and had a 1.5-second command over Chris Dishing four laps in when the first caution waved. Evans had a clean restart while Dishong slipped two positions as Larson advanced into second. Larson cut into the lead and trailed Evans by just one car length by lap eight. One lap later, another caution slowed the action. The top two resumed the battle after the restart with Evans able to stretch his lead to a half-second with five to go. Evans' lead was down to a car length coming to the white flag as Larson applied the pressure. Evans was able to hang on and take the win by .136 seconds over Larson with Rodney Schweizer third, Josh Roney fourth and Mitch Hovden in fifth. Hobby Stocks win goes to Donlan: Taylor Donlan of Decorah, Iowa, took command on lap 12 and held off Dustin Gulbrandson in a thrilling finish of the 18-lap USRA Hobby Stocks feature. In a battle of front-row starters, Carter Koop led the first lap before Kevin Lacy swapped positions on lap two. By lap five, sixth-starting Gulbrandson began to close in as he moved to second and one lap later, the USRA Hobby Stocks points leader had the lead. Gulbrandson led until lap 12, when Donlan found speed on the high side to drive around him in turn three to become the race's fourth leader. Gulbrandson was poised to take the lead in the final turns when a spinning car brought out the caution, setting up a green-white-checkers shootout after a restart. The 18-year-old Donlan was able to hang on to win by .013 seconds as the two nudged each other coming to the finish line. "I was not happy when I seen that yellow flag," Donlan said. "I just told myself don't mess up and hold on. I knew (Gulbrandson) was gong to be there and I knew I had to get through (turns) one and two before I could get through three and four. "I kind of lost the right rear and slid up and that's why we made contact. I wish it didn't happen, but I'm also glad it did so I could get the win." Parker Anderson finished third with Koop fourth and Zac Smith fifth. Hancock picks up USRA Tuners win: Cale Hancock of Collinsville, Okla., crossed the line second but was elevated to the USRA Tuners victory when apaprent winner Sean Leasure was disqualified in post-race technical inspection. Leasure, from Mansfield, Texas, came from deep in the pack to cross the finish line first. The 14th-starting Leasure took second away from Hancock on lap seven and then made his way into the lead on lap 11 after Dylan Whitley had led all the way to that point. Leasure had a .870-second lead when caution came out with three laps left. Leasure had a good restart and held on, finishing 1.3 seconds clear of Hancock. Jason Weber was elevated to second with Whitley third and Steven Bevills fourth. "We've come in second so many times here over the years," Leasure said after winning for the 13th time in 22 starts this season. "This track's incredible. I love racing here. It's the Diamond of Dirt Tracks and this track is the best of the best in the nation."

- Devin Moran Wins Pittsburgher Opener
IMPERIAL, PA (October 3, 2025) - For the second year in a row, Devin Moran of Dresden, Ohio, won the Friday night portion of the Pittsburgher as he led the final 16 laps in scoring the $10,000 to win Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing main event at Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway. With the win, Moran now trails points leader Ricky Thornton Jr. by five points heading into the $50,000-to-win 37th Annual Pittsburgher on Saturday night. Thornton was leading when he suffered a right rear flat tire with 14 laps remaining. Thornton pitted, returned to the race, and finished ninth. Brandon Sheppard passed Garrett Alberson with two laps to go to finish second, while Max Blair also overtook Alberson on the final lap to complete the Big River Steel podium in third. Alberson and Jonathan Davenport finished in the top five. Moran took the lead from the Victory Fuel pole and led the field for the first five laps until Thornton surged to the front on lap six. Thornton had started fourth and fell back to fifth early in the race, but he gained momentum by using the outside groove of the half-mile track to overtake Moran. However, Thornton then slowed exiting turn two with 14 laps to go as his right rear tire blew out, allowing Moran to regain the lead. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 24th time in his career, Moran will try to join his Hall-of-Fame father, Donnie, as the second father-son combo to win the Pittsburgher, joining Hudson and Don O'Neal. "We started off really strong at the beginning of the year but then struggled a bit through the middle as we tried different things and figured out what to do at this point. I honestly didn't expect the top to be that good, because it looked like there was just dust up there, but Ricky Thornton is Ricky Thornton for a reason. It was a bummer he got a flat, but we were lucky enough to take advantage of his misfortune. Once he got up there and burned that top in, and after he took the lead, I knew where to go. I felt like I was pretty good up there behind him." Sheppard finished 1.844 seconds behind Moran at the end, and like Moran, he will be looking for his first career Pittsburgher victory on Saturday night. "We were definitely trying some things for the long-run race tomorrow night. I felt like I was getting better in the longer runs we had, but we didn't get many long runs in, so we'll be ready tomorrow. We definitely need to fine-tune this a little bit, but all in all, the longer we went, the better we did. So with a longer race, we will be really good," said the New Berlin, Illinois, racer who sits fifth in the points. Blair got by Alberson on the final circuit to finish third after starting in seventh. "The race track was real fast at the start and that's just not me, so I just bided my time hoping it would slow down, and it did I wish tonight was 50 laps because I think we're getting better and better there, but hopefully we've got something to work with for tomorrow and maybe we can be back here on the podium." The winner's Double Down Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Lazydays RV, C&W Trucking, Hazen Services, BOMAG, Anthony's Pizza, Red Oak Pub, Refuel Wellness, Pee Wee's Wrecker Service, Car Source Auto, McHugh Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram, Eibach Springs, VP Fuels, Smoky Mountain Speedway, and Haulin' Haskell's. Completing the top ten were Carson Ferguson, Donald McIntosh, Hudson O'Neal, Ricky Thornton Jr., and Gregg Satterlee.

- Wolff earns Modified win to headline Night 2 of USRA Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 2, 2025) - Tyler Wolff capped Night of the 12th annual Summit USRA Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway on Thursday night with a late move to grab the USRA Modified victory. Other feature winners as the four-night event continued were Chad Clancy in the USRA B Mods, Jaylen Wettengel in USRA Stock Cars and Scott Dobel in the Hobby Stocks. A total of 259 cars checked into the pits in the four competing divisions on the second of four nights of action. Wolff was ready to pounce when given the opportunity after a late-race restart and the Fayetteville, Arkansas, driver went on to lead the final six laps of the USRA Modified main event. It was his second Modified win of the season at Lucas Oil Speedway, where he also had two Late Model feature wins. "I'm definitely not gonna complain. It's a great place to be," Wolff said. "There's a bunch of people that help us and it makes it even better when we get to come out there" to victory lane. Wolff beat Harley Dais, who wound up second for the second straight night. Scotty Roberts took the early going from his third-starting spot and set the pace until lap four, when Williams powered past out of turn four to take. The fourth-starting Williams quickly opened a 1.1-second lead over Tyler Wolff as Roberts slipped to third. Williams maintained his lead at about one second as action settled into a prolonged green-flag run, with Wolff 2.5 seconds clear of Roberts. Williams' lead was nearly two seconds as he caught lapped traffic by lap 16 and that traffic proved a challenge for the leader. Wolff began to cut into the margin when caution flew on lap 17 to bunch the field with eight to go. The restart was all Wolff needed as he took over the lead on lap 19, passing Williams coming off turn four. It was all Wolff the rest of the way as he ran away to beat Harley Dais by 2.1 seconds. Williams, slipping to third with two to go, settled for that spot with Wednesday-night feature winner Brandon Davis fourth and Brandon Givens coming home fifth. Clancy earns USRA B-Mods win: Chad Clancy of Polo, Mo., took over the lead on lap five and never gave it up in capturing the 20-lap USRA B-Mod main event. He beat hard-charging Kris Jackson, who made up 13 positions. Trevor Drake, who started third, took the lead on lap two away from pole-starter Daniel Harris. Clancy, who started seventh, made his move to the front on lap five to make it three leaders in the early going. Clancy rolled to a 1.1-second lead over Colson Kirk by lap 10 with Kris Jackson advancing to third after starting 14th. Jackson's charge continued two laps later as he drove around Kirk for second. Clancy kept pouring it on as he weaved through lapped traffic, expanding his margin got 2.3 seconds with four remaining. Clancy finished it off by maintaining that margin at the finish over Jackson with Kirk settling for third. Drake came home fourth and Cody King took fifth. "The car was awesome," Clancy said after improving one spot from his runner-up finish the night before. "There's a lot of good cars here and to be able to do this is awesome." Wettengel takes Stock Cars feature: A wild, caution-plagued USRA Stock Cars feature saw Jaylen Wettengel of Topeka, Kansas, pick up the win as he came from the 20th starting position. Eddie Ingram led the first lap with Boone Evans shooting to the front on the inside to complete lap two. Caution on lap five took away Evans' .906-second margin over second-place Travis Shipman. Evans' lead was .233 seconds over Jaylen Wettengel when another in a series of cautions flew on lap 12. This restart saw Tyler Cadwallader drive around Evans on the outside and emerge with the lead, just before a multi-car pileup on the front stretch, which included Evans, brought out another yellow flag. Wettengel emerged with the lead on the ensuing restart with Cadwallader regaining it on lap 15. Two laps later, Troy Hansmeier went from third to first to become the race's sixth leader - but Cadwallader took a spin in turn four to bring out another caution. Wettengel made the winning pass on lap 19 and held off Hansmeier for the win, prevailing by .858 seconds. Derek Green finished third after starting 26th with Josh Cain fourth and Clancy fifth. Hobby Stocks win to Dobel: Scott Dobel of Manly, Iowa, took the lead on lap four and went on to lead the rest of the way for the USRA Hobby Stocks feature win. Dobel started fifth and he went on to beat Arthur Schott by just over a second. The third-starting Dustin Gulbrandson wasted no time grabbing the lead, taking it before the first lap was complete. The USRA Hobby Stocks national points leader lost the top spot to Dobel on lap four and the first caution flew the next time around as Dobel led by a half-second. Dobel continued his march after the restart, opening up a 1.5-second lead at the halfway mark on lap nine. He had a four-second lead when a lap-15 caution gave the challengers a chance. Dobel was able to hang on to beat Arthur Schott by 1.2 seconds. "It's always good to be standing in victory lane," Dobel said. "Once we got under Gulbrandson on the bottom I wasn't coming off until someone showed me something." Keven Lacy was third, Parker Anderson fourth and Jeremy Crimmins wound up fifth.

- Davis, Turner, Custer score Night One wins in USRA Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 1, 2025) - The 12th annual Summit USRA Nationals kicked off on Wednesday night at Lucas Oil Speedway with each of the three feature events coming down to the final laps. Brandon Davis emerged as the USRA Modified winner, Shadren Turner captured USRA B-Mod honors and Justin Custer came out of seemingly nowhere for the USRA Stock Cars win. A total of 216 cars checked into the pits in the three divisions on the first of four nights of action. Davis, of Hayfield, Minn., took over the lead with six laps remaining from Terry Phillips and went on to capture the USRA Modified opening-night feature win. Phillips started up front and set a blistering early pace, opening a 1.4-second lead over Bobby Williams after five laps. The veteran from Springfield was maintaining that same gap by lap 10 as Davis was pressuring Williams for second. Just as the leaders were catching lapped traffic, one of the slower cars spun to bring out a caution on lap 11. Davis took over second after the restart and began to close in on Phillips, pulling alongside on lap 15. Phillips' lead was .184 seconds as a lap-16 caution slowed the action. Davis finally forged past Phillips going to the inside of turn one on lap 19. Davis quickly drew off to a 1.3-second lead in just two laps and rolled from there. "When I got around Bobby Williams on that one restart, I noticed 'TP' was kind of struggling at times through the middle, just a little bit," Davis said. "I was just waiting for an opening and could just stick a little bit better on entry. It was fun racing TP. He could have the crappiest race car and he could still get around this place and be fast. He's so crafty here." Davis beat runner-up Harley Dais, who passed Phillips on lap 22, by 2.89 seconds. Phillips settled for third with Brandon Givens fourth and Williams fifth. Turner emerges in USRA B-Mod thriller: Shadren Turner of St. Joseph, Mo., won a thriller over Chad Clancy and Tim Karrick for the USRA B-Mod feature win. Casey Thomas led the first lap before Karrick took over on lap two. Karrick and Chad Clancy were side-by-side for the lead when caution flew on lap nine. Clancy took the lead after the restart on lap 10 before another caution slow the action with Karrick second and Shadren Turner third. Those three diced for the lead over the next several laps before Turner took the lead on lap 15. The fourth-starting Turner held on from there, beating Clancy by just .179 seconds with Karrick right behind in third. Tyler Kidwell finished fourth with JC Morton coming home in fifth. Custer wins Stock Cars feature with last-lap pass: Justin Custer of Liberty, Mo., made a last-lap pass to steal the USRA Stock Cars feature from race-long leader Myles Michel. Custer rallied throughout a caution-filled race from a 25th-starting position. Custer took advantage of a late restart to complete his charge and overtake four cars over the final four laps. He beat Michel by one car length. Pole-starting Tyler Cadwallader was eliminated before an official lap was complete when he went upside down out of turn three during a multi-car pileup, causing a red flag, at the start of the feature. Michehl, of Fort Dodge, Iowa, grabbed the lead after the restart, opening a one-second gap over Keller by lap five. The leader extended the margin to 1.8 seconds by the midway point on lap 10. Michehl kept gradually pulling away from there, holding a 2.2-second command over Keller with five to go. Keller had his hands full with Mason Beck, who pressured him for second when the race's complex changed with a lap-16 caution when fifth-running Josh Cain slowed to a stop in turn two. Four cautions flew with only one lap completed, leaving Michehl leading Keller and Mason Beck with three to go. But it was Custer who pulled off the heroics to grab the win. Jaylen Wettengel wound up third with Beck fourth and Rodney Schweizer was fifth.

- Johnson looks to continue dream Modified season at USRA Nationals this week at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 30, 2025) - Way back in March, Houston Johnson set a goal to pursue his first USRA National Championship in the Modified division. What a year it's been, with that title seemingly a mere formality away as this week's 12th annual Summit USRA Nationals get ready to fire up at Lucas Oil Speedway. Johnson, a 26-year-old second generation racer from Kansas City, has 20 Modified feature wins in 43 starts in 2025 and 26 wins overall including a Late Model. Entering the Wednesday opener to the four-night marathon at Wheatland, he holds a 547-point USRA lead. "Technically, Brandon Davis could jump me if he wins all four nights and starts like 19th or 20th in a couple of them," Johnson said. "If anybody could do it, it's him." So while Johnson will hold off on popping the proverbial cork until it's official, the journey to the brink of a championship has been nothing short of a dream season in a Bloodline Race Car he purchased slightly used from Brandon Givens. "I took the car down to Terry (Phillips) and he helped me out and he's always just a phone call away if I have a question," Johnson said of Philips, the long-time racer and Bloodlines chassis founder based in Springfield. "He is a wealth of knowledge." Johnson has dominated the competition this season at his home track, I-35 Speedway in Winston where he has 16 feature wins. He feels good about his chances coming to Wheatland, where he won a preliminary-night feature at last year's USRA Nationals and ran a solid sixth in a July 3rd appearance this season with the Heartland Modified Tour. Dedication and consistency have gone hand-in-hand after Johnson set his goal. Shortly after he and wife Cassidy found out they would become first-time parents this November. "Last year I ran quite a bit at Humboldt and began branching out during the year," Johnson said of how 2024 became a building block season. "By end of the year, I thought if I had pushed for it earlier in the season … I didn't win enough but I could have been top three. I think I ended up fifth. "When my wife and I found out in March that we were expecting our first child in November, I knew this was the last year that I could fully dive at it before some other priorities come up. By far it's been my best season. I'm a very routine-oriented person. On Friday nights, Tulsa was closest place to race Modifieds most of the year. It was unfortunate that I would drive by Lakeside and Humboldt and places that used to have A Mods. "But I put in the effort to go down there, then get up early and re-prepare the car for Saturday. Then get it washed up and cleaned up on Sunday, go to work Monday through Friday, get home from work and work on it. For me I've always put in the effort. People don't always see the effort behind the scenes. You can't have DNFs and luck is a big part of it, but preparation has been one of the biggest things and making sure I'm not missing stuff that would cost you … keeping up on maintenance and parts." Johnson began racing at 14, but was a fan of the sport from the time his parents purchased I-35 Speedway when he was in grade school. His dad, Mike, had raced for several years prior to that. Houston Johnson said he drove a Grand National at 14 and got into a Modified a few years later. He admitted to getting discouraged by his results and was about ready to give it up and seek another class before winning on opening night in 2021, his first Modified feature triumph. "I went on to win the championship that year. It's kind off weird how stuff clicks," Johnson said. "I got better at watching film, watching race videos. I'm a race fan first. I love watching racing. USMTS, Lucas Oil Late Models, you can learn from watching the guys that run those things." Now Johnson is one to verge to claim a USRA National Championship while hoping to visit victory lane this week. Johsnon's crew members include Trevor Brownlee and Tony Kromeich. Sponsors are Carpenter's Classics, Molle Auto Group, KS Engineering, Trenton Coca-Cola Bottling, Shane Roach Concrete, Premier Lubricants, Precision Performance Racing Suspensions, TB Designs and Tire Demon by Lovetap - Randy Ainsworth. USRA Nationals action kicks off Tuesday night with an open practice session on from 6-9 p.m. Spectator admission will be free in the grandstands with pit passes $30 ($15 for kids 6-10). Five-day pit passes are $170 and ($80 for ages 6-10). Everyone purchasing pit passes can save time upon arrival by signing the waiver online at https://lucasoilspeedway.speedwaiver.com/uokhv. The remaining USRA Nationals schedule will find Modifieds, B-Mods, Stock Cars qualifying and Hobby Stock practice on Wednesday; Modifieds, B-Mods, Stock Cars, Hobby Stock qualifying and Tuner practice Thursday; Modifieds, B-Mods, Stock Cars, Tuners and Hobby Stock qualifying Friday; Modifieds, B-Mods, Stock Cars, Tuners, Hobby Stocks with last-chance races and final-night features on Saturday.

- Thornton Takes Second Career Jackson 100 at Brownstown
BROWNSTOWN, IN (September 27, 2025) - Ricky Thornton Jr. took the lead for good on lap 76 after a spirited battle with Devin Moran that lasted for several laps, then led the rest of the way to win the 46th Annual Jackson 100 presented by the Jackson County Visitors Center on Saturday night at Brownstown Speedway. Thornton's 14th Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing win of the year earned the Chandler, Arizona native $50,000 for his second Jackson 100 in the last three years. Moran finished in second, followed by Bobby Pierce, Carson Ferguson, and Tyler Erb. Moran led the first 21 laps of the race from the Victory Fuel Pole, as the two-time and reigning Indiana Icebreaker winner was aiming for his first Jackson 100 victory. Moran maintained his lead until Pierce, who started on the inside of row five, took the lead on the 22nd lap. Pierce then held the point until Moran regained the lead on lap 46. Moran then saw Thornton, who started on the outside of the front row and had dropped back to seventh at one point, climb back to second on lap 66 and then went back-and-forth with Moran for the lead before finally overtaking him for good on lap 76. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 56th time in his career, Thornton will hold the championship points lead heading into Pittsburgh next weekend. "I felt like I needed to go way before that," said the winner after he finally was able to clear Moran for the lead with 24 laps to go. "I felt like me and Terbo ran door-to-door for 20 to 25 laps, and it's nice to know you can race a car super hard like that, and he gives you plenty of room. I didn't know what happened there with Devin and JD; it looked like they both were just kind of going to the bottom and made a little contact, and JD went around. Obviously, you don't ever want to see that with a championship competitor like that, but luckily for us, it was one really good car we didn't have to worry about after that." I didn't know whether I needed to be on the bottom or the top, and I knew I was going to go to the bottom at that point. I got the lead up top; you could circle around the bottom and build so much speed that the top couldn't keep up. We had that yellow, and Bobby chose the bottom. I don't think he knew the top was a little better, just that during that first lap or two, once your tires got cold and before they warmed up again, you could just take advantage of the choppiness of the race track and really get going again. Moran and Davenport made contact while racing for second on lap 44, giving his point of view of the incident in Victory Lane after finishing in second after leading the most laps in the race. "I definitely didn't want that to happen, and he was just laying out really hard. I filled the gap right there, and we must have hit tire to tire because neither of us had any marks on our cars or anything. It's really unfortunate; I didn't want that to happen. I wanted to race it out, but it's a bummer. All in all, it was a good run for sure. We were sliding back and forth lap after lap, and I found a really good line during the last six or seven laps. I felt like I was inching closer to him, but it was just too late at that point. Ricky is just a really good racer, and it makes this chase for the championship just a little bit harder." Pierce, who entered the weekend as the winningest dirt late model driver in the country with 29 feature wins, led laps 22-45 and finished on the Big River Steel Podium in third. "I've been around long enough to know not to count my eggs before they hatch. Many times here, I've been at the start of the race. It's a great feeling when you drive from ninth to the lead and start pulling away, but it's still very early in the race. Heck, we still had a whole other feature to go, and about 50 laps left at that point. I knew the track was going to evolve, and once the speeds slowed down a bit, I feel like that's when I struggled to keep the car on the race track when we were crawling around. I have to say, those guys up front are a bunch of wheelmen battling for the lead. That was fun to watch when I was back in third."

- Nick Hoffman Earns First Lucas Oil Victory at Brownstown
BROWNSTOWN, IN (September 26, 2025) - Nick Hoffman made his mark in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series record books on Friday night at Brownstown Speedway, becoming the 94th different winner in the series' 21-year history. Hoffman took the lead on lap 30 and narrowly edged out Brandon Sheppard at the finish line to win the $10,000 prize in the 4th Annual C.J. Rayburn Memorial. Hoffman, the defending Hoosier Dirt Classic winner at Brownstown, won by just .081 seconds in one of the closest finishes in series history. Sheppard finished second, with 10th-place starter Devin Moran rounding out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Moran was aiming for his third win in the last two years at Brownstown, as he has secured Victory Lane in the last two Indiana Icebreaker races. Jonathan Davenport took the lead at the start of the race, leading the first nine laps until he had to pit under caution for a left rear tire flat. Sheppard then moved up as Moran and Hoffman made it a three-car battle for the lead, with Hoffman passing Moran for second on lap 14. Hoffman then pressured Sheppard for the lead through heavy traffic while Moran was close behind in third. Hoffman was able to clear Sheppard on lap 30, and in the final 10 laps, he held on for the thrilling finish win. Current championship points leader Ricky Thornton Jr. finished fourth, with Garrett Alberson rounding out the top five drivers. In a race with three different leaders, Hoffman was the third and final leader after starting on the outside of row two for the 40-lap main event. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the first time in his career, the modified standout turned late model stalwart finally broke through at one of his favorite racetracks as he collected his ninth overall win of the year. "JD was in the lead there, and I just didn't know where to be. I was just trying to play with him a little because Ricky was beside me, and I was trying to get around Jason Jameson. Finally, I cleared him, and then I could run where I wanted. Devin showed me his nose there, and he was able to get by me on that restart, which got me back on the outside. On a restart, our car was good. It was just about picking the right lanes, but I ended up losing at the end, and I reached a point where I couldn't run where I wanted to. So, I started playing defense, and with Sheppy behind you, he's probably the cleanest guy out there." Sheppard, who was aiming for his third career win at Brownstown, narrowly missed the victory as he searches for his first Jackson 100 win on Saturday night. "I shouldn't have given up the lead the first time. When I got to lapped traffic, I was really trying to charge hard through the middle to pass the lapped cars, and I think that's where I made a mistake because most of us had soft left rear tires. So when I charged through that middle, I could just feel myself getting worse and worse, and I would slide from center off. I think I overheated my left rear tire there, and then I wasn't as good when I got down on the bottom." Moran kept up his impressive runs at Brownstown over the last two seasons, coming from 10th to finish in third place. "You always aim to be in victory lane. It was unfortunate for JD to get a flat, and I don't really know what happened between Ricky and Hud, but it was unfortunate for those guys. Overall, it was a great night for us. I really thought we had a good car there at the end, and I was right behind those guys. It was a great points night." The winner's Tye Twarog Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by NOS Energy Drink, Lonewolf Petroleum, C&W Trucking, Petroff Towing, Tri-Valley Equipment, VP Fuels, Bilstein Shocks, and Holdren Construction.

- Hudson O'Neal Wins Lucas Oil Knoxville Late Model Nationals from 15th
KNOXVILLE, IA (September 20, 2025) - Hudson O'Neal charged from his 15th starting position to win the 21st Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals presented by All Makes Collision Center on Saturday night at Knoxville Raceway. The Martinsville, Indiana driver earned an event record $75,000 for his 34th career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win. In a race with nine lead changes among three drivers, O'Neal finally took the lead for good on lap 57 and then led the last 18 laps to win by 8.368 seconds over Ricky Thornton Jr., Devin Moran, Brandon Sheppard, and Daulton Wilson. Jonathan Davenport and Moran swapped the lead during the first 54 laps of the race, until O'Neal became the third different leader on lap 55. Moran led lap 56, and O'Neal took the lead for the second time on lap 57, then pulled away to dominate the rest of the race. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane, O'Neal becomes the 16th different winner in 21 editions of the crown jewel event. O'Neal and his father Don are the first father-son duo to win the race, with Don having won it in 2011. "I'm tired, man. Riding around that berm was so demanding; it got really rough down there, and I kept telling myself to just breathe. Hats off to my guys—whenever you destroy a race car like that, it definitely hurts. I put a lot of effort into that car to make it to the World 100; it was the car we planned to finish our championship with. That was definitely a morale killer a little bit, but we were able to unload the car the next day, and the guys worked hard to get it ready. To come back and have good speed last night was great—we had a mechanical failure, and to come from 15th is just so awesome," said the 2023 National Champion. "It's been a tough month, but we've been making progress step by step. We've received a lot of help from many different people, including my family and everyone watching back home. These races are so special—these are the ones you dream of adding to your list. This one is so cool. I knew I was really good, and when I was racing with Devin, I didn't feel like I was pushing my limits down there. They were having to run really hard on the track to keep up, and I figured they'd heat their tires and I could slip away from them," said the winner, who became the youngest driver to win the event at age 25. Thornton was the only driver in the top three finishers who did not lead a lap and came in second after passing Moran in the final four laps. "I went much tighter than I did last night; the track never really slowed down like it usually does here. I don't know if it was easier to run around the bottom berm; overall, I'm happy with second. Obviously, Hud was a lot better than all of us; he drove to the front and won by over 8 seconds or whatever it was. Congrats to him. I feel like any time it gets around a berm like that on the bottom, I remember, like at Pittsburgh a few years back, he wore us all out running below the berm. So again, congrats to him for tonight; after flipping on night one, it didn't scare him at all." Moran finished third on the Big River Steel Podium after leading 21 laps. "We just got that bottom to start chunking out a little, and when it did, my nose was just too low, and it kept bouncing and bouncing. I couldn't circle that bottom. Overall, we'll take it. I really felt like we had a really good car for a long part of that race. I could move all around, and JD was having an awesome race. It was so fun to race with him, but obviously Hudson was the best car tonight. At the end, he did a great job — my guys said he was a second faster per lap at the end of the race." The winner's SSI Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Wheeler Metals, Triple O, Merrill Bonding Company, Sub Surface of Indiana, Professional Concrete, Cutting and Drilling, West Side Tractor Sales, Dyno One Inc., O'Neal's Salvage and Recycling, Indiana USSSA Fast Pitch Softball, Bob and Tammy Burton, Houchens Insurance Group, Bilstein Shocks, Sunoco Race Fuels, and Bob Cat of Batesville.

- Newton, Yeley earn final-night Hockett-McMillin Memorial feature wins
WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 20, 2025) - A relative newcomer to the American open-wheel racing scene and an old pro scored feature wins on Saturday night as the 15th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial concluded at Lucas Oil Speedway. Australian Ryan Newton won for only the second time in the United States as he led the final 11 circuits of the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint feature. Meanwhile, NASCAR and open-wheel veteran J.J. Yeley was a wire-to-wire winner in the POWRi WAR non-winged main event. The Hockett-McMillin Memorial recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, from 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. Newton earns POWRi 410 Outlaw win: Newton took the lead on lap 20 and held off Hank Davis and Landon Crawley and two late restarts to earn the POWRi 410 victory, worth $10,000 to the driver from Sunshine Coast, Queensland. It was the first POWRi 410 Sprint feature win for the 30-year-old driver from down under. "It's my biggest win in the States and probably Australia as well," Newton said in victory lane. "We struggled a little bit (Friday) night in the feature and tonight we tried a a few different things and changed my driving up a little bit. I had a super fast car in the feature and I was able to get past Landon. "It's my second win in the USA. These aren't easy to get and I can't thank everyone enough who helps me out. It's just awesome." Crawley started outside of row one and set the early pace, beating pole-starting Kyle Jones to the lead. Crawley led the first 10 laps, but Jones closed in and was dueling for the lead the next time around as the two went through lapped traffic. Jones grabbed the lead out of turn four on lap 12, but caution waved before the lap was completed. The lineup reverted to the previous lap, meaning Crawley brought the field to the green on the restart. Crawley got away to a 1.1-second lead by the race's midway point on lap 15 over the fifth-starting Newton with Davis third and Jones fourth. Newton whittled the leader's margin to .111 second over the next three laps. Newton grabbed the lead headed into turn one on lap 20, then got through lapped cars to open a 1.5-second lead in just two laps. He was off and running from there as Crawley struggled to stay within two seconds. Newton's lead was up to 1.8 seconds when Friday's feature winner Clinton Boyles, who was running third, hit the turn-four wall and flipped his car on its side on lap 26. That set up a four-lap shootout for the win. On the restart, Newton traded a slider with Crawley in turn two and had a 1.2-second lead on lap 28 when Jones spun into the wall to bring out one more caution. That gave Crawley and Davis one more shot at overtaking Newton over two laps. Newton executed a flawless restart and drove to the win by 1.3 seconds over Davis with Crawley third, Zach Daum fourth and Joe B. Miller fifth. "This is an awesome facility and an awesome race track and we're glad we made the trip here," Newton said. Ironically, it was the second straight year a driver from Australia won the POWRi 410 Sprint portion of the Hockett-McMillin Memorial as Scott Bogucki prevailed in 2024. Davis, of Sand Springs, Okla., said his car was strong but just not quite strong enough. "The car was good. We just weren't as good as the 66," Davis said, tipping his hat to the winner. "Those guys have that thing rolling. I think on that first restart he got in front of me and who knows? If I get out front, maybe I can set the pace, but it's not how it happened." POWRi WAR win to Yeley: A long-time NASCAR Cup Series veteran with an extensive open-wheel background came home the winner in the POWRi WAR feature as J.J. Yeley led all 30 laps. He held off a charging Jack Wagner of Lone Jack, Mo, late in the non-winged feature to earn $5,077. "I really like this place. That was fun," Yeley said in victory lane. "I knew Jesse for a long time. He drove for my dad and was a true stand-up guy. Brand new car. It was a nightmare yesterday, but had brakes, had gas and everything it needed today. "We kept tuning on it and made some adjustments for the feature. I'm here to win this thing, I don't want to run second. We tightened the hell of this thing and was way too tight, but I hope the fans enjoyed it. Not that I wanted to make it too close, but it's nice to win a race and earn it." Yeley, of Charlotte, N.C., started on the pole and needed only seven laps to open a 1.1-second leader over fellow front-row starter Kyle Shipley. Wyatt Burks had moved from seventh to third by lap eight and that's when the first caution came out for a two-car spin. Burks took over second on lap 11, pulling within three car lengths of Yeley with Shipley also in the mix. Fifth-running Riley Kreisel hit the wall coming off turn two on lap 13 to bring out another caution as the top three were within a half-second of one another. As action resumed, Yeley cleared away to a 1.2-second lead over Landon Simon by lap 18. Shipley claimed back into second by lap 20, but found himself with nearly two seconds to make up on the leader with 10 to go. Yeley's lead was wiped out, however, with a lap-23 caution as Chad Goff came to a stop in turn two. That left the running order Yeley, Shipley and Jack Wagner with seven remaining. Wagner used the restart to get around Shipley, but Yeley maintained the lead and was able to hold on the rest of the way. Yeley beat Wagner by .838 seconds at the finish. "What a race, what a blast, what a facility," said Yeley, 48, who's made 398 NASCAR Cup starts over a 20-year career. "This (win) ranks way up there. I've known the Hockett family for a lot of years." Wagner, driving the Hockett-family-owned No. 77, was ecstatic about his run from 11th to the runner-up spot. "I've been here once before standing on the podium and it's been years," Wagner said. "To get back here is great, coming on as strong as we did with six laps to go. I figured we had something for these guys and J.J. just shot out of a cannon and absolutely left us." Shipley wound up third with Wesley Smith fourth and Simon fifth.

- Boyles, Kreisel capture Hockett-McMillin Memorial wins at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 19, 2025) - One night after rain scrubbed the opener of the 15th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway, sprint-car action roared to life on Friday. Clinton Boyles rolled to victory in the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint portion of the program with Riley Kreisel prevailing in the POWRi WAR main event. Action concludes on Saturday with another complete program including qualifying, heat races, semi-features and championship features. The Hockett-McMillin Memorial recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, from 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. Both of Friday night's feature winners had connections to Hockett. Boyles goes wire to wire: Boyles of Greenwood, Mo., captured his first career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory and he did it by leading every lap, beating Ayrton Gennetten for the $5,000 prize. "It's pretty phenomenal and I don't really know what to say right now," said Boyles, who started on the pole, grabbed command at the start and withstood multiple cautions to earn his trip to victory lane. Boyles called it a "full-circle" moment as his sprint car career began driving the No. 77 non-winged owned by Jack Hockett, Jesse's dad. "It all started with the 77 in my sprint-car career and I've had a lot of ups and downs since then as far as driving and wrenching and all that," Boyles said. "To be in this moment, right now, I can't even describe it. There are so many friends and family here. That's what makes it special. "Glory to God. We couldn't do it without our faith in Him. This is pretty cool." The race had a rough start, with three cautions before three laps were complete. Boyles started on the pole and led the first two laps and once action settled into a green-flag rhythm, he was nearly one second in front of Gennetten by lap eight. Another caution bunched the field at that point, just as the leaders caught lapped traffic. Just one lap after the restart, the fifth caution appeared with Boyles and Gennetten still running 1-2, Jake Bubak having moved into third and Kyle Bellm in fourth. With the final 16 laps going caution-free, Boyles made the most to make it a wire-to-wire triumph. Gennetten closed in by lap 19, but Boyles quickly re-opened a one-second gap and brought it to the finish .449 seconds clear of Gennetten. "That's a tough race right there with Ayrton. I'm sure he was right behind me," Boyles said. "I had no brakes and couldn't stop. I was hanging on for dear life the whole time and didn't want to see lapped traffic. Just a chaotic 25 laps there." Gennetten, of Versailles, said the winner did a better job of conversing his right rear tire. "We melted our tire off a little more and in looking at his tire, his tire is in a lot better shape than ours," Gennetten said. "I was pacing him pretty good. We had a yellow and a yellow and a yellow and a yellow. Overall, it was a pretty solid night points wise." Bubak came home third with Bellm fourth and Landon Crawley fifth. Kreisel takes WAR win: Riley Kreisel of Warsaw earned his 12th career POWRi WAR Sprint feature win, taking over the lead on lap 19 and holding it from there. He beat J.J. Yeley in the 25-lapper for wingless sprints by two seconds for the $2,000 prize. Kreisel, who started third, took over after a restart and never gave it up. He marveled at how good it felt to win a feature in a race that honors one of his racing heroes from the same hometown. "Unreal. We've never had speed here, period," Kreisel said. "We built this thing about two weeks ago. This was our first night in it. It's phenomenal to drive. It's incredible to have speed here for this race. I just want to win this thing." Fourth-starting Ricky Lewis slid around the outside of first-lap leader Lewis out of turn four to complete lap two. Lewis forged a 1.2-second lead over Kobe Simpson by lap seven when the event's first caution flew as third-running Xavier Doney spun and came to a stop in turn two. Kreisel moved to second on the restart as Simpson slipped back two spots. Lewis and Kreisel dueled for the lead over the next few laps, but Lewis was able to hold off the charge. Kreisel didn't go away, sticking within a half-second of the lead by lap 15. Landon Simon spun on lap 18 to bring out the caution, as Lewis was holding a .301-second advantage over Kreisel with J.J. Yeley running third. The restart saw Kreisel take over the lead on lap 19, sailing around Lewis on the outside. "Ricky's cagey. He has a lot of laps this year and I don't," Kreisel. "When I get by him, I have to be ready to go. I felt like the race car was coming to me a little more, but it wasn't quite 100 percent yet. I didn't want to get out in front of him and not have that to feel like I could get away from him. You think he's giving 110 (percent) but he might be giving 95 to wait for you to get by and run you back down." The new leader was off and running, opening a 1.5-second margin before another caution slowed the action on lap 21 as Lewis came to a stop in turn two after apparently making contact with another car on the front stretch. Kreisel had a smooth restart and took it home from there, beating Yeley by two seconds at the checkers. "Luckily we got rained out yesterday because we've been having so many problems with this car," Yeley said. "Everything is brand new. I didn't get to take a lap qualifying. The car felt like it had nice balance and and I got up to fourth pretty quick, then the brake pedal stuck to the floor. That last 20 laps, with zero brakes, it was interesting." Jack Wagner, who started 11th, charged to third with Kyle Shipley fourth and 14th-starting Wesley Smith taking fifth. Pit gates open at 4 p.m. Saturday with hot laps at 6:30 and racing to follow.

- Moran Earns First Career Win at Knoxville in Friday Preliminary
KNOXVILLE, IA (September 19, 2025) - Devin Moran took the lead from Brandon Overton on lap 17 and then pulled away to win the Friday night portion of the 21st Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals presented by All Makes Collision Center. Moran, who started fourth, earned $10,000 for his first career win at Knoxville. Overton finished in second, followed by Jonathan Davenport, Bobby Pierce, and Garrett Alberson. Overton bolted to the lead at the start of the race, which had only one caution flag. Overton maintained the lead until Moran, who had been challenging Overton from the first lap, made his move exiting turn two on the 17th lap to take the lead. Moran went on to win by 0.517 seconds at the finish after splitting a pair of cars in traffic to secure the victory. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 23rd time in his career, the Dresden, Ohio native became the 52nd different Late Model winner in Knoxville Raceway history. "Winning at one of the greatest dirt tracks in the world is something to be proud of, whether it's a preliminary night or not, you know. I haven't been here very often, but every time we come, I feel like we have speed. We just discovered a couple of things, and we were really good all night. The air is so crucial for us because the track is so flat, and we can't carve like a sprint car. We can't come right up on that cushion; it's really challenging to do. They made some adjustments to the bottom of one and two, and I just hit that moisture patch there. I kept working on him (Overton), and finally, it paid off." Overton, who led the first 16 laps of the race, stayed in second the rest of the race to hold off Davenport. "Sometimes it's better to be second than to lead, so when I got behind him (Moran), I started to follow him. He was carrying way more speed. I was trying to stay wider to avoid sliding over the cushion, and he was just going so much faster, especially when entering one. But it is what it is. After the heat race, I felt really bad, but Burroughs and the team did a great job making it at least competitive, so we'll have a shot at it tomorrow. I believe our car is just as good as anyone here." Davenport, who finished third at the Knoxville Late Model Nationals in 2022, rounded out the Big River Steel Podium. "My car felt pretty good out there, but like anybody here, the closer I got to them, the worse I felt. Once we hit lapped traffic, I fell back a little, and I feel like I passed them both at one point during the last couple of laps, so that's something we can be proud of. At the start of the race, Devin was really fast; he was running a bit lower, so he was blocking my air, and I couldn't get lower than him. We were definitely a lot better tonight than last night. Hats off to the track crew; they did an awesome job today. They had a lot of wet clay to work around, but they handled it excellently. Hopefully, the track will be somewhat like that tomorrow."

- Alberson Wins Late Model Knoxville Nationals Opener
KNOXVILLE, IA (September 18, 2025) - Garrett Alberson led all 19 laps of the rain-shortened Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing event on Thursday night at Knoxville Raceway. It was the opening night of a three-race weekend for the 21st Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals Presented by All Makes Collision Center. Tyler Erb finished in second, followed by Daulton Wilson, Ricky Thornton Jr., and Jonathan Davenport. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the fourth time in 2025 and for the first time ever at Knoxville, the Las Cruces, New Mexico native earned $10,000 for the win. "This is huge, especially for Ken and Beth. They have been coming here for so long, and this is an Iowa deal. It means a lot to get this red car into victory lane here in Knoxville. First off, I hope everybody involved in those wrecks is okay. It was a weird race; the restarts were really hard to judge. I didn't feel like I could accelerate very well - my gearing felt a little bit off. It's so tough to judge if you're doing the right thing with your speed because you could be in the correct lane, but if you don't do it just right, you lose so much speed. I was just trying to keep my speed up and hit the lanes." Erb, who swept two preliminaries in 2021 at Knoxville, came from the 10th starting spot to finish second to Alberson. "By making a lot of laps here, you're not going to pass them on the outside when the cushion is that low. I had a couple of restarts that worked out once I finally got past Joiner, and then I was kind of biding my time, not trying to hurt myself there, just had two or three restarts. The one I got by Perm and Sheppy was pretty good; we made 19 of 25, and Garrett did a good job. Everything played out well." Wilson, in his first Lucas Oil race since Port Royal in August, rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "Running third feels good. We definitely need to work on our race cars a bit, but with the setup we have for tonight's race, we'll take it. The biggest thing is trying to stay out of air on those restarts; my car wouldn't take off on those starts at all, so I know I was holding up the whole field. Like I said, we made the most of it, and luckily, we ended up here." The winner's Roberts Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Low Voltage Solutions, Inc., Mesilla Valley Transportation, Sunoco Race Fuels, Titan Racing Products, Nutrien Ag Solutions, Bill's Sport Shop, Done Right TV, Dickie's Doghouse, Cheap Cars, Fertilizer Equipment Specialists, Roemer Machine, Degano Powersports, Bilstein Shocks, and Mitchell Ranch. Completing the top ten drivers were Aaron Marrant, Joseph Joiner, Devin Moran, Donald McIntosh, and Dan Ebert.

- Grant scores record-breaking win in USAC Sprint Rod End Supply Dirt Duel at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 6, 2025) - Justin Grant made USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship history on Saturday night by winning the Rod End Supply Diamond Dirt Duel at Lucas Oil Speedway. Grant, a native of Ione, Calif., took the lead on lap eight and never surrendered it, outlasting Jake Swanson for the 63rd series win of his career. It sent him past Dave Darland for the most wins in tour history and was his 100th career feature win across all USAC divisions, just the eighth driver to reach the century mark. "I don't really know what to say," Grant said in victory lane. "I'm really excited and I can't thank everybody enough. I absolutely love driving sprint cars, particularly non-wing sprint cars. And I love USAC and I love everything about what we do. To be the all-time winner is just absolutely incredible. I've poured my life into this sport and into this discipline and am trying to get better and better at it. "It almost felt more special to tie Dave Darling than to pass him. He's an absolute legend and a hero. I shared something on Facebook (Saturday) about him going into the Indiana Sports Hall of Fame and wanted to make note that we're all now reaping the benefits of the things that Dave Darling did for our sport." The 30-lap feature saw the fourth-starting Grant close in on Wesley Smith, who started on the pole and led early, when caution flew on lap four after Clinton Boyles spun on the backstretch. Smith had a good restart and opened an eight-car-length lead, but by lap six Grant once again was knocking on the door with Swanson joining the battle in third. Grant was able to take the lead sliding past Smith on the inside out of turn four to complete lap eight. Grant was off the running from there, leading by more than a second as he caught lapped traffic by lap 12. As Smith and Swanson dueled, Grant was driving away up front. But a lap-16 caution for a pair of cars off the pace bunched the leaders for another restart. Wyatt Burks worked his way into third on the restart with Swanson applying pressure to Grant. Swanson kept chipping away running a lower groove as the laps clicked by and the two dealt with slower cars. Grant was able to hang on and capture his milestone victory - then climb gingerly from the car to celebrate. He suffered a broken left foot in a racing accident on July 27 at Lawrenceburg Speedway and drives with a specially-fitted boot on the surgically repaired foot. "I can't thank all the people behind me enough. My wife Ashley, my parents, my grandma," Grant said. "Everybody that supports me. It hasn't been an easy weekend. We've been changing everything and working my guys to death and they're about sick of me, but it pays off when you win for them." Grant paid special tribute to car owner Kevin Birchmeier. "We've been through some really high highs and low lows together," Grant said. "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Kevin. He supports me 100 percent." Swanson, of Anaheim, Calif., said he felt like he had a shot at tracking down Grant. While proud of his strong run, it also was frustrating. "I was driving my (butt) off, but he did a good job and didn't make any mistakes," Swanson said. "Obviously, he's one of the greatest to do this. It stings. I felt we had the best race car." Burks came home in third with Michel Moles fourth and Logan Seavey fifth in USAC's first appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway in 19 years. Logan Seavey set a new track record for non-wing sprints for his eighth fast-time of the season award on the series with a lap of 14.928 seconds. Brady Bacon (15.159, Sept. 8, 2006) held the previous record. USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship season points leader Kyle Cummins started 11th and finished ninth. Simon wins INEX Legends feature: Trenton Simon of Joplin led all 20 laps to grab the INEX Legends feature win, beating Austin Azeez by 2.6 seconds. It was Simon's 14th win of the season. Simon had built up a 3.5-second lead over Azeez when caution on lap nine slowed the action and took away his big margin. It didn't take long for Simon to check out again after the restart and he dominated the remaining 11, caution-free laps. "It was really a matter of finding out what the track was. I hadn't been here in a while," Simon said. "We made adjustments as the night went on and it paid off in the end." Jay Reynolds finished third with Justin Comer fourth and Jett Stovall fifth after starting 16th. The Legends portion of the program was sponsored by Outlaw Plumbing. LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY UNOFFICIAL.

- USAC Sprint leader Cummins aims for more Lucas Oil Speedway magic at Rod End Supply Diamond Dirt Duel
WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 4, 2025) - When Kyle Cummins makes just his second appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday, the Indiana native can only hope things go as well as his previous time on the Wheatland dirt. It was 2018 when Cummins drove to victory in the non-winged portion of the Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial. That remains one of the memorable wins that Cummins, 38, has picked up during his successful open-wheel racing career. "We ran like third or fourth on our prelim night and then won the finale," Cummins said. "I have not been there since, but definitely looking forward to seeing how things go this time. That's a very, very nice place with everything. The pits, the grandstands. It's a nice facility. "We didn't take many notes back in the day, but hopefully we have a little bit of thought. At least I've ran there once so I know a little bit how the track works." Cummins continues his pursuit of a USAC AMSOIL National Sprint championship on Saturday when USAC returns to Wheatland for the first time since 2006 for the Rod End Supply Diamond Dirt Duel. The 30-lap feature will pay $6,000 to the winner. Cummins, a second-generation open-wheel racer from Princeton, Ind., leads the championship standings by 258 points over Mitchel Moles of Raisin City, California. Logan Seavey, of Cutter, California., is third 276 behind Cummins. After a fast start to the season, with a feature win in the opener at Volusia Speedway Park and five feature wins in the first 11 events, Cummins has put himself in great position to win his first USAC championship in his second season with Petty Performance Racing. "We started the season really strong and kind of had some bad luck here and there," Cummins said. "We've got the monkey off our back a little bit of late and found some stuff with the car. We're on car number three now. We've tore up some stuff and kind of learning this one. "All in all we're pretty excited about how things are going and looking forward to finishing these last 15 races strong and trying to get a couple of more wins and have a good finish to the season." Following in the footsteps of his father, Mark Cummins, since opening in open karts at age nine, Kyle Cummins developed into one of the top sprint car racers in the Midwest. He's the all-time winningest driver of the Midwest Sprint Car Series and a five-time champion in that series. It wasn't until a fast start to the USAC National Tour in 2023 that Cummins began to think about chasing a national championship. He faded that season and realized that upgrades were needed to pursue such an endeavor. "The last two years we've decided to run for it and be fully prepared, have all the stuff ready," Cummins said. "We built this new team with Petty Performance and that's been the goal. Last year was kind of a building season, to take some notes and do a lot of trial and error, working some stuff with the car to give us a really good baseline. "We started out this season really strong and that's been the goal from the get-go, from at least 2024 that was the plan, to win the championship." Cummins said the competition level on the USAC National series is rugged. There's no such thing as resting on your laurels, even with a sizable points lead. "It seems like the top 8-10 guys could win any night. It's definitely tough," Cummins said. "Everyone has the same goal, they all want to win. It's like all sports, any one can win on a given night and you just give it your best shot and see how things go. "We have a decent-sized lead. We just need to finish out strong and not let up and hopefully the last couple of races we won't have any pressure and can just go out and have fun." Cummins won the 2018 Hockett-McMillin by leading all 30 laps of the feature, outlasting Wyatt Burks and Colton Cottle for the win. While he didn't know Jesse Hockett well, that win remains a special one. "I know a lot of people have come there trying to win it and for us to show up the first time and win it, that was pretty exciting," Cummins said. "To kind of look back over your career and see some of those more prestigious wins, that makes it a little more special." INEX Legends in for Super Stocks as support class: A late schedule switch will see INEX Legends running as support class on Saturday. In April, Lucas Oil Speedway had the opportunity to add the USAC National Sprints and, at that time, it was decided that the Hickamo Super Stocks would be the support division. This was scheduled not knowing it conflicted with Nevada Speedway's Lehmann Memorial. Lucas Oil Speedway feels it's important for all local tracks to be mindful of their neighbors' special events, so the Hickamo Super Stocks will not run this Saturday with those competitors encouraged to support Nevada Speedway. Lucas Oil Speedway's pit gates open at 3 p.m. Saturday with grandstands at 4 p.m., hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. Grandstand General Admission: Adults (13 and up) - $28 Seniors (62 and over & military) - $25 Youth (ages 6-12) - $10 Kids (5 and under) - FREE Family pass (two adults and up to three youth) - $66 Pit pass - $45 (Credit/debit card fees will be applied at time of purchase at gates) For information on admission or camping for any Lucas Oil Speedway event in 2025, contact Admissions Director Nichole McMillan at (417) 282-6119 or (417) 295-6043 or email her at nmcmillan@lucasoilspeedway.com for more information.

- Thornton Wins First Career Hillbilly Hundred
SARVER, PA (August 30, 2025) - Ricky Thornton Jr. led wire-to-wire, winning the 57th Annual Summit Racing Equipment Hillbilly Hundred presented by Arizona Sport Shirts on Saturday night at Lernerville Speedway. Thornton's 13th Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season was worth $30,000 and marked his first victory in dirt late model racing's oldest, ongoing race that began in 1967. Thornton faced a tough challenge from Jonathan Davenport after a lap 90 caution when the top two in the series championship points made contact in a side-by-side battle. Thornton was able to pull away from Davenport in the final nine laps to win by 1.397 seconds. Max Blair, who started 13th, rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third after passing Devin Moran right before the final caution of the race. Moran finished fourth. Brandon Overton earned the Hoker Trucking Hard Charger of the Race as he finished fifth after starting 21st. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 55th time in his career, Thornton has now won three of the last four Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing events. "I am glad that the first yellow came out. I really didn't get a great start; I let JD get out in front of me. I felt like whoever got out front would be the one to beat, whether your car is better or not. We tried a bunch of different things today, and I felt we were a lot better. I still think we need to improve a lot once it finally cleans off, but overall, it was a really good night for us. You have to start the night off well with good qualifying, have a solid heat race, and a good start to the feature, said the Chandler, Arizona native who now resides in Indianola, Iowa. "I felt like I was kind of sliding myself into three and four, then they took away the top line, making it so I couldn't get out there where they could hail Mary around me. I got to traffic and felt almost better around the bottom, and I think you slow your pace down so much when you get to a lapped car, so I needed to stay down there. On that last restart, I felt like I got a decent restart; I saw JD under me and thought, alright, drive it in hard into one and slide myself, and I got a run off of two. By the time I heard him, it was already too late, and I was into him. Obviously, I know he was going to be mad; you definitely don't want to run a competitor off the track like that." Davenport was seeking his third career Hillbilly Hundred victory. He took home $15,000 for a second-place finish and gave his viewpoint on the lap 91 restart. "I got a pretty good restart, and I was planning to slide him when I got into one, but just like a few other times when I'd get a run on him, Thornton was going to come all the way to the bottom. So I was either going to crash us both or do something else, and I didn't want to do that. I moved back to the top and got a really good run. I doubt he saw me, but if he heard me, you know, whatever, he says he didn't. It is what it is; as he said, whoever gets out in front is going to be really hard to beat." Blair, who also finished third in the track's signature event, the Firecracker 100, in June, worked his way methodically to a podium finish after starting on the inside of row number seven. "I love this place when it gets slippery like that. I need to improve in the heat races so I can start a little higher than 13th. We were really strong at the end of the race, so congrats to Ricky — he's on a roll. It's getting down to crunch time in this championship, and it's cool to see him racking up all these wins. Hopefully, he can keep it up and go back-to-back." The winner's Koehler Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Ultimate Towing and Recovery, Hoker Trucking, Knight's Companies, Coltman Farms Racing, Elite Ready Mix, Capital Waste, Bilstein Shocks, Sunoco Race Fuels, EMD Wraps, and Certified Inspection Services. Completing the top ten were Mike Marlar, Carson Ferguson, Tim McCreadie, Brandon Sheppard, and Tyler Erb.

- It's a Simpson sweep as Ron Jenkins Memorial wraps at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 30, 2025) - Chris Simpson of Oxford, Iowa, polished off a flawless weekend on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway, completing a sweep of the 11th annual Ron Jenkins Memorial. Simpson backed his Friday-night victory with another Comp Cams Super Dirt Series feature win, this time leading the final 30 of 40 laps, outdistancing Clay Stuckey. Simpson earned $12,000 for the win, which included a $2,000 bonus courtesy of Mary Jenkins Holt in honor of the late Ron Jenkins, builder and owner of the original Lucas Oil Speedway. Including a pair of $500 fast-time bonus awards plus a $100 series bonus each night for fast time, Simpson took home $20,200 for the two nights. "I just want to thank everybody at Lucas Oil and the Jenkins family for the extra money they put up," Simpson said. "It means a lot. I go to work every day, from 7 until 3:30 and go out and work on my car afterward. "I don't do this for a living. To be able to come down here ... I've had one other week when I brought home $20,000 close to home." Daniel Adam beat Simpson to the lead at the start, the first time in two nights that Simpson had not set the pace. Adam rolled away to nearly a one-second lead before Simpson began to reel him in, drawing within .215 seconds by lap 10 with Terry Phillips another 1.2 seconds behind in third. Simpson took the lead on lap 11, sliding past Adam on the inside coming off turn four. Just five laps later, Simpson had sped away to a two-second command over Adam with Clay Stuckey taking third away from Phillips. "The top was better. I could see that and he had a pretty good cushion," Simpson said of Adam's early lead. "I knew I had to get out there and ride and just follow him. I tried to keep the car a little straighter than he was so I wouldn't burn up the right rear." As action remained caution-free and the track took on rubber, Simpson upped his cushion to 2.4 seconds by the halfway mark on lap 20. Adam was able to cut into the margin a bit, but Simpson continued to sail along with a comfortable margin. The first caution came on lap 33 as fourth-running Phillips slowed in turn four. That took away Simpson's 1.8-second lead over Adam with seven to go, putting some mystery into the late stages of the event. Simpson had a flawless restart and Adam slipped a bit, allowing Stuckey to get into second and R.C. Whitwell went to third. Simpson's lead was .935 seconds with three to go when Adam slow in turn two with a flat tire, bringing out a caution. Stuckey, of Shreveport, La., said he thought he might have a shot at Simpson the restart, but knew it had to happen quickly. "I thought I could catch him. There was a second there I was slowly creeping up on him," Stuckey said. "I maybe had five laps left on my right rear tire. You could tell with about four laps to go that it was done, but with the weekend I've had I'll definitely take second." Completing his big weekend, Simpson finished it off after the restart and beat Stuckey by .793 seconds at the finish. Whitwell was third with Cole Wells of Aurora fourth and Mason Oberkramer fifth after starting 14th. A trio of southwest Missouri drivers joined Wells with top-10 finishes: Dillon McCowan of Urbana (seventh), Ryan Johnson from Aurora (eighth) and Payton Looney of Republic (ninth). Simpson set fast qualifying time for the second straight night, with a lap of 16.091 in Group B. Simpson also went on to win his heat race to clinch the pole position for the feature. Frye picks up Super Stocks win: An old pro celebrated in victory lane for the first time in long time as Late Model legend Bill Frye of Greenbrier, Ark., held off Taylor Carver for the $1,000 Hickamo Super Stocks feature win. Frye, driving a car owned by regular-season Super Stocks track champion Tim Brown, led all but the opening lap. The former MLRA and MARS champion was driving the car to help his long-time friend Brown dial it in for the Super Stocks Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Oct. 10-12. "I think the last race I won was a motorcycle hare scramble," a laughing Frye said in victory lane. He added that the Street Stock drove "to me, just like a Late Model. Man, it felt just like one. It's been 40 years since I really drove a Street Stock and I don't remember it being nothing like this. "This is a lot better car than I had. I want to thank Tim and Staci Brown for the opportunity to do this. I tried to back out of it and he kept begging. I was like, 'OK, I'll come do this' and I'm so glad I did." Frye was seventh on Friday in the feature, his first action since driving one event in a Late Model in 2022. Prior to that, he had last raced in 2019 in the Modified division. Frye took the lead on lap two, but Carver soon was applying pressure with Johnny Fennewald third. It stayed that way until lap 10 when five cars spun in turn three to bring out the race's fourth caution. With everyone staying mostly attached to the bottom groove the last half of the race, Frye held off Carver by .260 seconds or just over one car length for the win. Lap-one leader Johnny Coats was third with Ted Welschmeyer fourth and Matthew Kay fifth. Emma Davis earns Show-Me Vintage Racers win: Ninth-starting Emma Davis of Kansas City took over the lead with three leads to go and held on to earn the Show-Me Vintage Racers feature win, her first in her second season of racing with the SMVR. "The track was great. The car just handled great," Davis said in victory lane. Davis' parents, Beth and John Martin, also were in the SMVR field. John finished seventh in the feature and Beth was 12th. Emma Davis started racing at the age of six in go-karts, then moved to E-Mods and Lightning Sprints. "My parents raced with me tonight and I couldn't do it without them, or without the support of my wonderful husband," Davis said. "I have a great support system." Jason Isabell went from sixth to first on the opening lap and led until lap eight, when seventh-starting Ken Brown took over the top spot. Caution flew on lap nine and, while the track was being cleared, Isabell's car lost power to end his night. That elevated Mark Evinger into second with six to go with Davis third. Davis made the pass for the lead headed into turn three on lap 13 and she held on for the win, beating Evinger by .346 seconds. Damon Clevenger was third with Brown fourth.

- Chris Simpson leads all the way to capture Ron Jenkins Memorial opener at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 29, 2025) - It was a different sanctioning series, but the same winning results Friday night for Chris Simpson at the 11th annual Ron Jenkins Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway. Simpson, of Oxford, Iowa, led all 30 laps to capture the opener of the weekend Comp Cams Super Dirt Series doubleheader. It was one year ago that Simpson also won the Night One feature at the Ron Jenkins Memorial when it was a Lucas Oil MLRA event Simpson earned $7,500 for his night's work, which included a $2,000 bonus for the win and $500 fast-time bonus courtesy of Mary Jenkins Holt in honor of the late Ron Jenkins, builder of the original Lucas Oil Speedway. A total of 45 Late Models entered the opener. "We were good. This was a brand new car and we were gonna go to Illinois and race, then I was like 'why don't we get the new car out and go to Wheatland?' Good choice," Simpson said in victory lane. "We run good here and we love coming here and the track is always racy." After setting fast qualifying time earlier and winning his heat race, Simpson started on the pole and roared to a 3.8-second lead over fellow front-row starter Gordy Gundaker by lap five. The first caution few one lap later for a spinning Kayden Clatt, after Simpson's cushion had reached 4.1 seconds. Simpson sprinted away again after the restart, rolling to a three-second lead over Gundaker by the race's midpoint on lap 15, while in the midst of lapped traffic. Gundaker was able to slice into the lead as the duo navigated slower cars, pulling within two seconds by lap 19. Simpson then regained his rhythm, opening up by 3.3 seconds by lap 25. "I knew that bottom would be good, so I knew if I got a good start on Gordy and he didn't beat me into (turn) one that I could kind of roll that bottom," Simpson said of the rae's start. "The part I was worried about was when I ran up on lapped traffic, if I could move out and get by those guys, otherwise that would bring Gordy right back to me." Simpson poured it on late as the race stayed caution-free, beating Gundaker by 4.5 seconds at the finish. "Congrats to Gordy. He's a good buddy of mine," Simpson said. "For us to come down here and run 1-2 is pretty cool." Gundaker, of St. Charles, said Simpson was simply too tough - from the time he unloaded until the checkers flew. "Chris was the class of the field all night," Gundake said. "You could tell from when they unloaded. We're parked right next to each other and I could tell he was confident. But when you get in lapped traffic, you never know what is going to happen. "I was trying to stay within fighting ground of him, I was a little tighter than I would have liked." R.C. Whitwell was a distant third with series points leader Billy Moyer fourth after starting eighth and Jon Kirk was fifth. Justin Wells (sixth), Terry Phillips (ninth) and Dillon McCowan (10th) were southwest Missouri drivers earning top-10 finishes. Simpson had the fast qualifying lap, the only driver to go sub-15 seconds as he posted a 14.802 to pace Group A. The stakes are higher on Saturday night with a $10,000-to-win feature and Mary Jenkins Holt adding a $2,000 bonus to the winner plus another $500 fast-time qualifier bonus. Super Stocks win goes to Carver: Taylor Carver of Lockesburg, Ark., built up a big advantage as he paced all 30 laps, then held on late to beat Blaine Ewing for the Hickamo Super Stocks feature. Carver set the early pace from his pole-starting position and had a one-second lead over Ewing when caution slowed the action on lap six. Ewing briefly pulled alongside Carver after the restart, but Carver quickly cleared and drew away to nearly a two-second lead by lap 10. It was more of the same the rest of the way under green-flag conditions, with Carver leading by 3.6 seconds before Ewing cut into the lead late. Carver, after battling lapped traffic, wound up .778 seconds in front of the runner-up. Terry Schultz was third, J.T. Carroll fourth and Tony Anglin fifth. "This was the first night in this car and we just tried to get out front and hang on," Carver said, adding that the Super Stocks Big Buck 50 in October is the primary reason for the visit this weekend. "That's why we're here this weekend. We plan on coming back" for the Big Buck. Evinger earns Show-Me Vintage Racers win: Owen Evinger of Odessa grabbed command on lap six and drove away to a lopsided victory over Mickie Cook in the Show-Me Vintage Racers feature, his third SMVR victory of the season. Fourth-starting Jason Isabell started fourth and had the lead by the end of lap one, holding it until Evigner, who started eighth, grabbed the top spot on lap six. Isabell was closing back in when caution flew on lap eight. Isabell spun in turn two on the restart, sending him to the rear of the field and elevating Cook into second for the ensuing restart. Evinger was able to take it to the checkers from there, finishing 4.3 seconds clear of Cook. "It was a lot of fun. The track was really good," Evinger said. "My wife's birthday is tomorrow and this will be nice for her." Bob Werkmeister finished third with Chad Eickleberry fourth and Damon Clevenger fifth.

- Alberson Starts Hillbilly Hundred Weekend with Friday Night Win at Lernerville
SARVER, PA (August 29, 2025) - Garrett Alberson took the lead at the start of Friday night's 40-lap, $10,000-to-win main event and never looked back. He first held off Ricky Thornton Jr. for the first four laps, then Jonathan Davenport for several laps, and finally Devin Moran for the last 13 circuits to earn his first-ever win at Lernerville Speedway on the opening night of the 57th Annual Hillbilly 100 Presented by Summit Racing Equipment. Alberson led all 40 laps to earn his fourth career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing victory. Moran moved from fifth to second on a lap 27 restart and finished just 0.852 seconds behind. Hudson O'Neal moved from seventh to secure a spot on the Big River Steel Podium by claiming third place. Tim McCreadie finished fourth, followed by Ricky Thornton, Jr., who made a late race charge to reach fifth after dropping as low as eighth in the running order at the checkers, maintaining his series points lead heading into Saturday's $30,000-to-win Hillbilly Hundred. Alberson, who finished fourth in the track's signature event, the Firecracker 100, went to Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the third time this season on Friday night. "My guys did such a good job. Big thanks to Vinny (Guiliani); he came in with us and helped us get our program back together. I just tried to be a driver tonight. I tried not to overthink it and let my instincts take over. Man, the car worked really well; the track was intense. I kinda wanted to straighten the car out a little here and there, but every time I tried to ease up on it, there was somebody right beside us," said the driver from Las Cruces, New Mexico native. "I kind of took a lane over there, and when you do that, you kind of try to break a guy's momentum. I hope I didn't crowd anybody too much. I just had to change the momentum a little bit and then get back to what I was doing, being a little more disciplined with what I was doing in three and four so I wouldn't lose my speed across the center. Man, this is awesome." Moran, who suddenly became a contender for the win after starting eighth, climbed to second following a lap 27 restart. "For the Firecracker, we had some bad luck, and I felt like our results didn't reflect our speed. Coming here, starting eighth and finishing second was awesome. Kudos to Garrett for running a great race. I thought I had a chance in one and two, and I stuck my nose out, but I probably shouldn't have. Once I did, he (Alberson) moved down for three or four laps, which messed up my momentum. They did a great job, and so did my team. We've been working really hard and had to fight through a lot of challenges this year. We've had a really great race car here the last couple of weeks," said the Dresden, Ohio native. O'Neal, who started alongside Moram in row four, finished in third place. "Yeah, the car was really good. We struggled for the last couple of weeks, but we were able to test yesterday, and I think it really helped us. We've been working to improve our balance on these bigger race tracks because we struggled a little when we came here for the Firecracker. However, we opened up the notebook, and it turned out to be a really good night for us." The winner's Roberts Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Low Voltage Solutions, Inc., Mesilla Valley Transportation, Sunoco Race Fuels, Bilstein Shocks, Titan Racing Products, Nutrien Ag Solutions, Dickie's Doghouse, Cheap Cars, Bill's Sport Shop, Done Right TV, Fertilizer Equipment Specialists, Mitchell Ranch, Denago Powersports, and Roemer Machine.

- Ewing, Bidinger wins features and track titles on Lucas Oil Speedway Season Championship Night
WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 23, 2025) - The Late Model rookie is now a champion and Robbe Ewing did it in style on Championship Night at Lucas Oil Speedway. The Stockton driver led the final 15 laps to earn the Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature victory on Saturday night while also clinching the track championship in his first season after driving USRA B-Mods. Also sweeping his division championship with a feature win on the final night of the Pitts Homes & Realty Weekly Racing Series season was Nic Bidinger in the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified division. Other track champions crowned on Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night Presented by Bill Roberts Chevrolet were Jon Sheets (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Mason Beck (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars and Tim Brown (Hickamo Super Stocks). Joining Ewing and Bidinger as feature winners were Colson Kirk (USRA B-Mods), William Garner (USRA Stock Cars) and Johnny Fennewald (Super Stocks). A total of 84 cars were entered on the final night of the regular season. Prior to opening ceremonies, a majority of the them gathered four-wide on the front stretch and fired their engines in unison, then made a ceremonial pace lap together in tribute to Lucas Oil and Lucas Oil Speedway founder Forrest Lucas. Mr. Lucas passed away earlier on Saturday at the age of 83. "First and foremost, thoughts and prayers to the Lucas family," Ewing said in victory lane. "There's more to this than just the racing on the track." Ewing started third and took the lead away from Jim Greenway out of turn four to complete lap six. The Late Model rookie wasted no time opening up the lead, with a 2.5-second margin over Greenway by lap 10. A caution slowed the action at that point, giving Greenway and third-place Tucker Cox a chance over the second half of the race. But it was no problem for Ewing, as he quickly regained command after the restart with Cox moving into second. With no further cautions, Ewing drove away to prevail by 2.3 seconds for his second feature victory of the season to go with four runner-up finishes and four other top-fives. "This is how I wanted to do it. I wanted to win and take the championship home on the same night," Ewing said. "Bryan Larimore takes care of this car, week in and week out," Ewing added. "He does everything on it. I get to drive it, that's it. And we would not be here, at all, without Eric and Kathy (Johnson), my car owners (EKJ Motorsports). We kind of came together on this deal at the end of last year and we wouldn't be here without them." Bryon Allison rallied for third with Greenway fourth. JC Morton, a three-time feature winner who began the night 34 points behind Ewing, settled for fifth. Fennewald earns Super Stocks win, Brown gets title: Johnny Fennewald of Appleton City led all 20 laps for the Hickamo Super Stocks feature win, but Tim Brown's fifth-place finish was barely enough to clinch the season championship. Fennewald went from fourth to first on the opening lap. After a couple of early cautions, Fennewald held a one-second lead over Derek Brown was the halfway mark as Anglin fell from second to fifth. Fennewald was leading by two seconds coming to the white flag when the championship chase took a turn. Tim Brown, leading by 14 points over Anglin as the night began, suddenly slowed with a flat tire while running in eighth as Anglin was up to third. Brown was able to pit under caution to change the tire and tag the back of the cars on the lead lap. Brown was able to rally into fifth, passing three cars in the final two laps, which was enough to hold off Anglin and unofficially prevail by seven points over Anglin for the championship. Brown, of Stoutland, posted his 11th top-five finish in 12 starts. "It wasn't from wins, just consistency," Brown said in victory lane, adding that after the late-race drama "my wife needs to check her heart out." Jared Hays was second with Anglin third and Kenny Carroll in fourth ahead of Tim Brown. Kirk gets B-Mod win as Sheets takes title: Colson Kirk of Urbana charged from fifth to the lead on lap 14 and went on to beat Waylon Dimmitt and track champion Jon Sheets for the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win. Bronson Wicker took command at the start and held it until Sheets, who started alongside him on the first row, passed him on the outside coming out of turn four to complete lap four. Nevada's Sheets, who already had the points title clinched before the night began, opened a half-second lead when caution flew on lap later. Kirk charged into second on the restart with Sheets continuing to ride the high groove - but the race's third caution appeared on lap seven. The race settled into a rhythm after the next restart as Sheets and Kirk broke away from the field, often racing side-by-side. Kirk was able to wrest the lead on lap 13, just before another caution slowed the action. "What a marathon that was," Sheets said. "I think it was kind of good that I was in second there. It seemed like the bottom kind of cleaned up a little better than the top." Kirk took it home from there, opening a one-second lead by lap 16 and going on to beat Dimmitt by 1.3 seconds. Sheets settled for third with Cayden Stacye fourth and J.C. Newell fifth. "It's kind of a cool deal," said Sheets, who won four times at Lucas Oil Speedway this season. "We've been racing for 18 or 19 years and never won a track championship. I've never hung out at one place for a whole year. But we kind of set our goals at the beginning of the year to get this deal done and we were fortunate enough to." Morrow Sheets, Jon's son, already had a big night and took home a trophy after winning the Kids' Power Wheel season championship during intermission. Garner rolls, beats track champ Beck in USRA Stock Cars: William Garner of Lebanon led all the way to capture the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature as he outdistanced track champion Mason Beck by nearly six seconds in a caution-free feature. Pole-starting Garner grabbed the lead at the green and set a fast pace, with a 2.6-second lead over Dawson Fennewald just five laps into the event. As Garner kept pulling away, Fennewald, Beck and James McMillin battled it out for second. Garner led Beck by 5.4 seconds - or an entire straightaway - by the halfway point on lap 10. Without any cautions to steal his big margin, Garner kept rolling and went on to beat Beck by 5.99 seconds in the green-white-checker 20 lapper. The win was Garner's third of the season. He entered the night trailing Beck by an insurmountable 106 points. "I was just trying to hit my marks," Garner said. "I was starting to get a little tight at the end. We were trying some stuff here before (USRA) Nationals comes up and have a good hot rod for that. We had a pretty good race car." Urban'a Beck, after narrowly missing the title a year earlier, was able to enjoy his title by simply starting the main event. He also was a track champ in 2023. "It's kind of a redemption year for us," Beck said. "Last year, every time we turned around we had some really bad luck, something breaking or getting took out by some knucklehead. But we had a pretty decent year for as short as our schedule is." Fennewald came home third with McMillin fourth and Zach Zeugin fifth. Bidinger claims USRA feature, season title: Nic Bidinger of Perry, Kan., finished off a track championship in the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds by dominating the 20-lap feature. He led every lap and defeated runner-up and fast-closng Bobby Williams by about three car lengths. Bidinger had the championship clinched before the green, but left no doubts. He started up front and rolled to the lead and by lap five was in front of Ben Stockton by two seconds with Pursley in third. Bidinger was nearly four seconds in front with just five to go. The caution-free race saw Williams slice into Bidinger's margin over the final five laps after he got around Pursley on lap 15. But Bidinger was able to get to the checkers .394 seconds clear of Williams. "We've been struggling for this one all year," Bidinger said. "It's really nice to be on the front stretch and this was our last chance and I'm glad we were able to get it done. It's so much fun to race here all year." Pursley was third, Chase Sigg fourth and Scotty Roberts fifth.

- Thornton Secures Victory in Wild Rumble by the River at Port Royal
PORT ROYAL, PA (August 23, 2025) - Ricky Thornton Jr. took the lead from Chris Madden on lap 46 and then pulled away in the final laps to win the Rumble by the River presented by UNOH on Saturday night at Port Royal Speedway. Thornton not only won $50,000 but also received a $7,500 bonus from UNOH for leading the championship points at the end of the night, now holding a 10-point lead over Jonathan Davenport, who finished fifth in the 50-lap race. Madden, who led the most laps during the race, finished in second, while Devin Moran rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Brandon Sheppard took the fourth spot ahead of Davenport. Madden maintained a strong lead for the first 23 laps until Thornton, who started sixth, charged into the top spot on lap 24. Thornton then led until lap 37, when Madden executed a slider on turn two to reclaim the lead as Moran moved up to second place. Madden then led Moran and Thornton until a caution with 41 laps completed bunches the field for a single-file restart with nine laps to go. Thornton, who restarted in third, got by Moran on lap 45 and Madden on lap 46 to retake the lead for good, which he held to the finish line, winning by 1.7 seconds to complete a sweep of the weekend at Port Royal. Thornton won all three Lucas Oil races at Port Royal in 2025, as he also went to victory lane back in April at "The Speed Palace." In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 12th time this year and for the 54th time in his career, Thornton had to earn his fourth career win at Port Royal. "I just hoped I got back to him (Madden). It almost sounded like he was firing a little bit before I was (on the restarts), so he would get a little bit of a run down the hill. The first time, he didn't slide me, and you, I thought maybe he's not going to slide me, so on the next restart, he slid me. It was either wreck or get wrecked there. I started driving pretty hard against the wall to get sideways and try to get by Devin, and at that point, it was really the right move. I knew Devin was going to run the wall for a couple of laps, but he wouldn't really commit up there. He would get his right rear close to the fence, but you almost had to get the right front in the fence and just hold it on the floor and pray it doesn't turn bad turns," said the Chandler, Arizona native. "I got by Devin and slid past him there in three. He tried, I think, to drive it harder into the corner, and I believe that backfired on him instead of just slowing down to cross me like he did the time before. I reached second, and after that, I didn't hit the throttle again until I got to turn one. I just wanted to make sure I caught up to Madden, and once I did, I aimed to position myself so he couldn't cross me or beat me into one and slide me again. This time, he didn't slide me, so I was ready for it—I entered in a way to ensure I could turn. He didn't slide all the way across, so I stayed on the throttle around the wall. Once I was in front, I knew I had to drive as hard as I could and pray another yellow flag wouldn't come out. Luckily, it worked out for us." Madden, who finished second a week ago in the Topless 100, collected another $20,000 check for car owner Kale Green with his second-place run Saturday night at Port Royal. "We were racing for 50 grand and had a good restart. We drove into one there, and I had him cleared in the middle of the corner. He could have turned left or hit the brakes or whatever, but he slid into me in three and four, and I had to hit the brake. It is what it is. We had a great race at the end. Thornton got the job done, and we had a great race car tonight. Thanks to all the fans for coming out." Moran, who moved into third place in the championship points ahead of Hudson O'Neal, completed the Big River Steel Podium in third. "Man, I've got a good car, so for some reason I can't get that top run. I've tried and tried, but I just can't make the speed up there like Ricky. However, I am starting to figure this place out a little more. I was good the first couple of times I came here, then I really struggled for probably two or three years. Now I feel like I'm in the top five, top three, top two. We just haven't got that win, but we've got a good package, and I'm starting to get the hang of this place." The winner's Koehler Motorsports Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Hoker Trucking, Knight's Companies, Coltman Farms Racing, Ultimate Towing and Recovery, Elite Ready Mix, Capital Waste, Bilstein Shocks, Sunoco Race Fuels, EMD Wraps, and Certified Inspection Services. Completing the top ten were Mike Marlar, Max Blair, Gregg Satterlee, Brandon Overton, and Hudson O'Neal.

- Thornton Wins at Port Royal, Returns to Lucas Oil Victory Lane on Friday Night
PORT ROYAL, PA (August 22, 2025) - For the first time since July 11, defending Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion Ricky Thornton Jr. returned to victory lane, leading 39 of the 40 laps in Friday night's $10,000-to-win main event at Port Royal Speedway. Thornton's 11th win of 2025 came on night one of the Rumble by the River presented by UNOH. Jonathan Davenport challenged Thornton for most of the race, briefly taking the lead on lap 30 after Thornton had led the first 29 laps from his pole position. Davenport then got by him for the race lead, but on the next lap, Thornton regained the lead off turn four on lap 31. Thornton pulled away from the current Midwest Sheet Metal points lead to win his 53rd Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series race. Davenport finished second, with Brandon Sheppard completing the Big River Steel Podium in third. Devin Moran was fourth, and Mike Marlar rounded out the top five drivers in a race that was entirely caution-free. "I didn't quite know where I needed to be. I could run the bottom, then reach out through the middle, and then I started to feel like I was getting free, and I knew JD was coming. Then I heard him, and he got next to me and drove by, sliding into three. If I have a shot to win this, I'll need to be able to pass him right back," said the Chandler, Arizona native. "I had a good run and was able to pass him. I don't know how much he had to slow down for me getting into three there, and hopefully we didn't make contact or anything like that. After that, I just moved to the top, started banging the boards, and hoped I could drive away so he couldn't catch me. With four laps to go, I hit the wall right at the sign in turn two, and I thought, if I pop my right front here, it's really going to be bad getting into three. But it all worked out for us. I love coming to this place; it's so slick and technical." Davenport, who entered the night 55 points ahead of Thornton, lost 20 points as last week's Topless 100 winner finished in second place. "He (Thornton) just did a good job there. I kept inching up on him from the bottom. I tried the top a couple of times in one and two, but you really had to commit all the way up there, and I kept trying to go up there to gain a little momentum and pull off, but it just wasn't as effective. I then started running the bottom and tried to slow down more and more, and it seemed to work for us. I ran him back down and got past him, which made him start searching too, and then he just committed to the top in one and two. Obviously, he got a run down the back straightaway and slid me into three. He just did a good job, plain and simple." Sheppard, who started next to Thornton on the front row, ran second for the first ten laps before yielding the spot to Davenport. "We had a really solid night, for sure. We were just two spots short tonight, you know. It's one of those deals where it was like stages, and we were really good, so we're just going to jot it down in the old notebook and give it our best shot tomorrow night. I've got a good car and something to work with. When you're running well and gaining some consistency, that's what we want." The winner's Koehler Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Hoker Trucking, Knight's Companies, Coltman Farms Racing, Ultimate Towing and Recovery, Elite Ready Mix, Capital Waste, Sunoco Race Fuels, Bilstein Shocks, EMD Wraps, and Certified Inspection Services. Completing the top ten were Hudson O'Neal, Garrett Alberson, Max Blair, Daulton Wilson, and Chris Madden.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Turner's final ride set for Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night
WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 20, 2025) - One of the best-known drivers to compete at Lucas Oil Speedway and throughout the Ozarks-area over the last three decades is set to make one final run on Saturday night. Eric Turner from nearby Hermitage is scheduled to drive the USRA B-Mod of Robbe Ewing during the Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night Presented by Bill Roberts Chevrolet. Turner, 47, said that he will hang up the helmet afterward with no regrets. The idea of finishing with an even number of 30 season behind the race-car wheel began last season, after Turner got attractive offers on his motor, car and then hauler. He wasn't looking to sell everything, but upon further review it seemed the perfect time to scale back. But Turner wanted to race one more time in 2025 and the Ewing family offered up their USRA B-Mod for the Pitts Homes & Realty Weekly Racing Series finale. "It wasn't like I was giving stuff away just to get out of racing," Turner said of the selling of his equipment. "I was like, 'I think I'm gonna hang it up.' This was a good time to go out. I'm not spending a bunch of money. All the cards just kind of fell into place. "I just wanted to race one time because that'll be 30 years. Not that it makes a difference or means anything to anybody. But to me it seems like a good spot. If I was to race one time, it was enough that I could be personally satisfied and that I put my time in. "The Ewings have been good friends of mine. It's been about a month since I talked to them, I guess. The year is clicking by, so I guess I needed to make a decision. The year is winding down." Robbe Ewing will be focusing on protecting his lead in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model division in pursuit of his first track championship. It's a place where Turner won a track championship more than 20 years ago, when it looked much different as Wheatland Raceway before Ron Jenkins sold the property to Forrest and Charlotte Lucas. Over the years, Turner has driven in most every class from his start driving what he called "an old asphalt car on the dirt" at Nevada Speedway. Ozarks Area Racers Foundation Hall of Fame member Rex Merritt was an early mentor and inspiration, beginning when he autographed a picture for a 13-year-old Turner. "Rex called Mike Clark with Dirtworks and got me on a program and that's where it all really started," Turner recalled. "I got into a good car and eventually into a better car and it went from there." Turner moved through the ranks and compiled more than 200 career feature wins. He became one of the region's top Modified drivers and even competed in some Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series events. One of his most-memorable nights was winning in three divisions in 2007 at Wheatland - Late Models, Modifieds and Stock Cars. "I was jumping from one car to the next and took them each through the tech barn at the end of the night," Turner said. "I don't know what the highlight of my racing career is. It's difficult when you've traveled around and run a bunch of classes. I'm grateful for all of it." Along with Merritt, Turner mentioned Scotty Allen and Terry Phillips as key influences in his career along with Terry Pannell for financing his Late Model days. Another highlight was off the track, when he worked for Roush-Yates Racing as an ambassador to help the NASCAR-based engine company connect with dirt teams around the country. "It's been a good time," Turner said of his racing career. Lucas Oil Speedway will crown track champions in five divisions on Saturday night in a program named to honor Harold "Rowdy" Rempfer and his wife, Julia, who were killed in an automobile accident seven years ago. Rowdy was the mayor of Wheatland and he and Julia both worked at Lucas Oil Speedway. Twenty-lap features are schedule for the Hermitage Lumber Late Models, Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds, Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods, O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars and Hickamo Super Stocks. In addition, the final round of the Kids' Power Wheel Races will be held during intermission with season championships awarded to the youngsters. The kids can sign up to race at the RCR Designs Junior Fan Club on the midway prior to Saturday's action. Pits and spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.

- Davenport Wins Second Career Topless 100 at Batesville
LOCUST GROVE, AR (August 16, 2025) - Jonathan Davenport took the lead on lap 38 when race leader Brandon Sheppard, who had led the first 37 laps, slowed with a flat tire. Davenport then led the remaining 61 laps to win his second career Nutrien Ag Solutions Topless 100 presented by Big River Steel on Saturday night at Batesville Motor Speedway. The victory earned the current Midwest Sheet Metal points leader $50,000, marking his 8th Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing win of the year. Chris Madden tried to chase down Davenport over the final 20 laps, finishing second by just 0.989 seconds. Devin Moran rallied from a flat tire to take third on the Big River Steel Podium. Rookie Dan Ebert scored the best finish of his late model career with a fourth-place finish, while Sheppard rebounded from his flat tire to finish fifth. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 91st time in his career, and for the second time at his car owner's home track, Davenport said: "I just tried not to get complacent behind those lapped cars, then I started to, and it began to get a little tricky around the top. I needed to keep slowing down and moving toward the bottom, but I kept trying to catch my left rear in that brown strip. I'm sure it looks like there would be plenty of grip from up there, but it was so slimy that I actually got looser when I tried. So, I finally said I've got to do something because either Madden or I was going to step out and try the outside. There was a lot of grip out there if you hit it just right and straight," said the Blairsville, Georgia native, who is aiming for a record-tying fourth series championship this year. "He (Madden) went a little harder on the left front; that probably doesn't sound like much, but I think it would have helped me, you know, run the top a little better for a few laps. Then it would get hot, and I would start pushing more and more. Hats off to all of you fans out here, man—it's hot, and thank you for sticking it out." Madden, driving for Kale Green Motorsports, was aiming for his second career Topless 100 win, which earned $20,000 for his runner-up finish. "We tried to save our stuff for as long as we could and make a charge at him (Davenport). About 20 laps to go, we started picking up the pace a little bit. We were really good down here in one and two, and in three and four we about evened out — he might have been a tick better down there. We caught that lapped car, and the 19M got in between us, so we kept our stuff hot trying to get around him. I finally got by him with about three laps to go, cooled out our stuff, and got back to JD. Hats off to JD, and congratulations to Devin." Moran, who fought with Davenport for second place early in the race when Sheppard was out in front, finished third and rounded out the Big River Steel Podium. "I don't know if I would have beaten JD or not, but I felt like we had the best car. We messed with him a little early in the race, got by him, and then he got back by me just a little. Then I had the flat. It's unfortunate— we come here to race, and everybody's getting all these flat tires. I don't know what the deal is, but it's just a shame. I feel like we had such a great race car, and my guys worked their butts off. Finishing third was a good night for points, but it's really bittersweet when you feel like you had a chance to win." The winner's Double L Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, DynaGro Seed, ASC Warranty, Midwest Sheet Metal, VP Fuels, Mark Martin Automotive, and Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas. Completing the top ten were Ricky Thornton Jr., Brandon Overton, Daniel Hilsabeck, Kyle Beard, and Clay Harris.

- Milan, Smith and Wagner earn wins at 14th annual Impact Signs, Awnings & Wraps Open Wheel Showdown
WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 16, 2025) - The 14th annual Impact Signs, Awnings & Wraps Open Wheel Showdown was particularly memorable for Scotty Milan. The 22-year-old from Fort Collins, Colo., earned his first career POWRi 410 Winged Sprint feature win Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway, taking command midway through the 30-lap feature. Also posting feature wins Wesley Smith (POWRi WAR/MWRA Wholesale Batteries Challenge Series and Jack Wagner (POWRi 305 Winged Sprints). Milan, who said he had found tough luck all season after joining the series, grabbed the lead on lap 16 away from Xavier Doney after Doney had led the first 15 circuits. Milan, who had started 13th, gradually sliced his way through the field before catching and passing the leader on lap 16. He went on to beatSean Rayhill by just over two seconds in the 30-lap main event. "I finally won," Milan said excitedly in victory lane. "All year has been kind of rough. We have good runs and then instant bad luck. I'm just excited to win and coming from 13th it wasn't easy. We had the car on a rain. I was like 'holy crap, I'm moving.' First POWRi Sprint Car win, pretty sweet." Doney led in the early going after starting from the pole, but Sean Rayhall was giving him pressure just a half-second behind seven laps in. One lap later, the first caution flew with Doney holding a .856-second lead. Rayhall lost second on lap 10 as Miller slid around him as Doney led by just under one second. Doney's lead was a half-second at the halfway mark on lap 15 and one lap later, Milan used the low groove to get past Doney and take the lead. Milan wasted no time building a 1.1-second lead by lap 20 over Miller as Doney slipped to third. Miller pulled even with Milan on lap 23, but was unable to complete the pass as Milan fought back and pushed his lead to a second with five laps to go. Caution flew on lap 25 for a spin in turn two, setting up a five-lap shootout as Milan led Doney and Miller. Milan was up to the challenge, drawing away late to take the win by two seconds over Rayhall. "I know we're new here, but this 14 team, we have a lot of grit," Rayhall said of his team. "I'm just grateful to be here." Doney was third with Clinton Boyles fourth and Miller fifth. Smith captures WAR/MWRA Sprints feature: Wesley Smith of Nixa led all the way and pulled away late to claim the POWRi WAR/MWRA Sprint feature, beating Wyatt Burks for the victory. "The competition level around here, I hope the fans can understand that it's top-notch," Smith said. The pole-starting Smith grabbed the lead at the start and was in front by 1.5 seconds ahead of Dakota Earls when caution appeared on lap two. After the restart, fifth-starting Anthony Nicholson took over second as Smith continued to lead, opening a 2.8-second gap by lap eight. Another caution, this time on lap nine, erased a three-second command for the leader over Burks, who started sixth. Those two dueled it out after the restart, but Smith started to reclaim some breathing room by lap 13 of the 25-lapper and his lead was two second with five to go. Smith kept pulled away from there and beat Burks by 3.1 seconds at the finish. Jack Wagner wound up third with Samuel Wagner fourth and Nicholson was fifth. "Coming here to Lucas, I'm glad I could make it look that way," Smith said of the decisive triumph. "Especially with the big USAC show and the Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial coming up. This place is a tough joint to get around. It's hard on tires and hard on engines, but that makes it all the more fun when you can win." Wagner wins POWRi 305 Winged Sprints: It was all Jack Wagner in the finale of the program as he lead all but two laps in the POWRi 305 Winged Sprint feature. Wagner, of Lone Jack, Mo. started on the pole and drove away to a two-second advantage over Danny Smith by lap 10, the halfway mark of the race. But the race took on a new complexion at that point when the first caution flew, taking away Wagner's big lead. The field ran just one lap before another caution. It was a battle after the restart, as Danny Smith used momentum for a pass off turn four to take the lead on lap 14. Wagner didn't give way, though, reclaiming the top spot on lap 16 coming off turn two. Wagner held on from there and be ninth-starting Landon Muehlberger to score the win by a 1.9-second margin. "I about lost it there to Danny Smith," Wagner said. "I knew better than to try and get this thing wound up for sound. It's roll around the bottom. It is technical. You have to make sure this car is pedaled in and out and don't slip the tire. I just didn't know you have to be that slow about it." Jake Martens was third with Smith fourth and Levi Hinck fifth.

In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the third time this season and for the 35th time in his career, the driver from New Berlin, Illinois, will be looking for his first Topless 100 victory tomorrow night. "I have always liked this place. You know, it's a little ways from home, so I didn't get to come here very often over the years. The crew has been trying to make me comfortable and find the balance I'm looking for. I knew we'd get there, and I also knew it would take some time. Since we brought it out, it's been lights out. Of course, we can still miss the setup or make a mistake with the tires or whatever the case may be, but this car has been really good ever since we broke it out. I am super proud to be part of this team and proud to be part of the Rocket family." Madden, the 2019 winner of the Topless 100 while driving for Scott Bloomquist, finished second to Sheppard in his Kale Green-owned entry. "We made a few adjustments right there before that feature; we're stuck too hard. We just went overboard on that balance, but we'll get it back for tomorrow. We feel good about what we have here. 100 laps is a long time around this place, so you've got to keep some tires on it, and you've got to be there at the end." O'Neal, who had to deal with a flat tire while running second in his heat race, came from seventh to finish on the Big River Steel Podium in the first 25-lapper. "It was interesting, that's for sure. We were fortunate to start at the bottom and be able to pick off a few cars there early on. After having a flat in the heat race like we did, we're happy to rebound and come back up through the field to make it onto the podium. We are excited about tomorrow. I think over 100 laps, the track is going to slow down a bit more, and I felt really good right there. It just got narrow on that bottom lane. I hope for 100 laps it widens out so we can race all over the track," said the 2021 winner of the event. The winner's Mark Richards Racing, Rocket Chassis is powered by a Durham Racing Engine and sponsored by Valvoline, Seubert Calf Ranches, Franklin Enterprises, Petroff Towing, Gunter's Honey, Ace Metal Works, Sunoco Race Fuels, Collins Brothers Towing, Stiles Marine and Maintenance, Performance Grading, Fox Shocks, and Rocket Pre-Owned Motors. Completing the top ten in the first feature were Mike Marlar, Joseph Joiner, Donald McIntosh, Jared Landers, and Daniel Hilsabeck. The second feature didn't end well for several drivers, as Jimmy Owens led the first four laps until Cade Dillard moved into the lead on lap five. A caution after a lap seven restart saw Dillard and Garrett Alberson get together after Alberson took over the lead from Dillard heading out of turn two, almost flipping his car as the incident eliminated both drivers. Owens then went back to the race lead as he led until lap 14, when he suffered a right rear flat tire. Davenport then took the top spot and kept it until the finish. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 90th time in his career, and for the seventh time this season, Davenport will be aiming for his second career Topless 100 win on Saturday night. "It's always good to win here for my car owners. We created a special paint scheme for my good buddy and our partner, Steve Martin, with Nutrien Ag Solutions. It's just a little something different for them; they help with this event and have been a big stepping stone in my career. They have definitely helped me and Lance Landers Motorsports a lot. I wasn't sure if leading was the right spot to be in. I am thankful for my guys—we've been on the road for six weeks. We came back to the shop, and they completely rebuilt two or three race cars, then worked on Jared's (Landers) car as well." Thornton, who is seeking his first career win in the Topless 100 on Saturday night, finished second in the nightcap feature. "I definitely didn't have anything for Jonathan during that last restart. I told my guys afterward that I wasn't even going to try to race JD; I'm just glad Garrett and everyone else is okay after that wreck on the back straightaway. I feel like you're going so fast here that a small mistake could cost you. We've got a lot to do to catch the Rocket1." Harris, who was as high as second, saw a late-race caution derail his hopes of passing Davenport, who was nearing traffic with three laps remaining. Harris finished on the Big River Steel Podium in the second feature race after passing him in the closing laps. "I thought our night was going downhill early on; we fell behind in qualifying. I kind of messed up some things on the car to upset it, but we came from 16th to second and then third, so I am happy with it." The winner's Double L Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, DynaGro Seed, Mark Martin Automotive, and Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas. Completing the top ten in the second feature were Kyle Beard, Jimmy Owens, Brandon Overton, Daulton Wilson, and Haiden Cowan.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Gennetten looks to celebrate birthday with POWRi 410 Winged Sprint win
WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 13, 2025) - Ayrton Gennetten turns 26 on Saturday and gets to celebrate his birthday doing what he loves, which is going fast in a 410 Winged Sprint car. The ultimate present, of course, would be to unwrap a feature victory at the 14th annual Impact Signs, Awnings & Wraps Open-Wheel Showdown Presented by Heritage Tractor at Lucas Oil Speedway. Gennetten will have plenty of family and friends on hand as it's a "home" appearance of sorts, as he's from about an hour and a half away in Versailles. "It's really important to have a lot of races close to home on our schedule," Gennetten said. "That's what is so great about the POWRi deal, having so many 410 races close to home. It's a big thing to me, having my family there. Stuff like that makes it a little more exciting knowing you can race in front of family, friends, fans and sponsors." Gennetten is set to continue his pursuit of a third straight POWRi 410 Outlaw Winged Sprint championship as he has a 40-point lead over Joe B. Miller entering the weekend, which begins on Friday at Lakeside Speedway. With two wins and top-10 finishes in all nine POWRi 410 events, Gennetten is pleased with the consistency of his season. The third-generation open-wheel racer said he obviously would like to have more than two wins in a schedule that's seen him race 30 times overall, including last week's Knoxville Nationals where he fell just short of making the big show. "It wasn't bad," Gennetten said of Knoxville. "We tore a car up at Pevely the week before and blew a motor at Oskaloosa two nights before Knoxville. It wasn't an ideal week, but it was one of those things where every time you go you learn something. I think we learned a little something about our race car and that will help us get a little better for what's coming up this week." As for the season, Gennetten said the team has been gaining speed "and at the end of the day that's what you want." He noted that three nights at the Kubota High Limit Series at Lucas Oil Speedway in late June, in which he was a top-10 qualifier in two of the nights with feature finishes just outside the top 10 all three nights were educational. "Lucas Oil is a beautiful facility. When they get the track right, it produces some really good racing," Gennetten said. "I feel really optimistic coming there this weekend. We were pretty strong at the High Limit, just missed the set-up a little bit. I think we've learned from then to now to be better so I'm obviously excited to go back. "This is kind of a tuneup for the Hockett (Memorial) and to use it as kind of a steppingstone to that would be great. I'm real excited for this weekend. It's one of the few times I get to race on my birthday." If he's able to widen his POWRi points lead, even better. Winning a third straight championship is a goal. "Coming into the season it's always your goal, especially if you're gonna run something like that, to try and win it," Gennetten said. "With the point fund being so healthy this year, it would be really nice to win it again. Also, to have so many guys running it and such a good level of competition, it makes it that much more a goal to get it done and add another tick on your resume." Whether it's POWRi, High Limit or other sanctioning bodies, Genentten said that 410 Sprint racing is probably better than it's ever been. "I think the level of competition night in and night out is probably the toughest it has been, ever, from the local stuff to the national stuff," Genentten said. "You're not gonna go anywhere in the country and race a 410 Sprint and not race against the best competition or the guys with the best stuff. "The level of guys you race against, the competition is the toughest you'll find across any sanctioning bodies. The competition in 410s is so diverse with so many good drivers, it's definitely at the top of its game." The triple header of open-wheel divisions includes the POWRi 305 Wing Sprints and POWRi WAR/MWRA Wholesale Batteries Challenge Series.

- Pierce Makes History in 43rd Sunoco North/South 100 at Florence
WALTON, KENTUCKY (August 9, 2025) - Bobby Pierce of Oakwood, Illinois, moved from the 14th starting spot to win the 43rd Annual Sunoco Race Fuels North/South 100 presented by Lucas Oil on Saturday night at Florence Speedway. Pierce earned $75,000 for the victory. In the process, Pierce became the first driver in the history of the event to win three years in a row, as he also became the first driver to win four North/South 100s in his career. Pierce and Jonathan Davenport had a spirited battle for the lead after a lap 52 caution that saw the two competitors get together several times before Pierce was able to pull away. Devin Moran got to second on lap 65 and had a shot at Pierce after a caution came out with eight laps to go, but Pierce was able to get a good restart and drive off for the win. Moran lost the second spot to Ricky Thornton Jr. on lap 98, and then on the final lap, Davenport was able to secure the last Big River Steel Podium spot as he also got Moran. Moran finished fourth, with Zack Dohm rounding out the top five drivers. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 28th time in his career and for the fourth time this season, he earned a hard-fought win after starting on the outside of the seventh row. "I've been in this position before. I was in a bad mood because I didn't want to start that far back; you know, it's a lot harder that way. We were coming through the field, and I was worried about my tires. I was spinning really bad in some sections, but then in others, I was really hooked up. It was tough, and once I got to second, I was trying to win the race. I got the job done. I can't thank my team enough and everyone who helps me out. And thank you to the fans for coming out and watching." Pierce was asked in Victory Lane about his battle with Davenport after the lap-52 caution that saw the two drivers go back and forth for the lead, which also included contact between the two. "It was about halfway through the race, but you want to get the lead as quickly as you can because if the track transitions, you never know what could happen. Last year, here it went to the bottom, and it was really hard to run the top toward the end of the race. So I didn't want to give anyone that opportunity if I could take it. I was planning to take the lead and just hold on for the rest of the race. Sometimes, it's a lot easier to lead late in the race than to run in second, especially with a restart where you're double-file again. Yes, we raced hard—me and JD—and I know he was mad, but it's just hard racing here." Thornton, who got the runner-up spot, took home $25,000 for second and cut Davenport's point lead to five heading to Batesville, Arkansas, next weekend for the Topless 100. "I definitely felt like I was running as hard as I could there, and it just wasn't enough. Bobby's stuff was really good. I could barely see him in the last couple of laps, so we will go back to the drawing board and try to improve. The track was a little different than it usually is here; typically, the curb isn't that big—it's usually against the wall. But this time, it was about a car length off the wall. I feel like we have good speed, though not quite the great speed we had at the start of the year." Davenport, who was aiming for his third North/South 100 victory, led 60 of the 100 laps but finished in third place. "Obviously, he (Pierce) is always right, so I don't know how to throw sliders, and he does. I won't sit here and talk bad about him, because he's really good. We all know the top is going to be very competitive here at Florence, and I was just running my race and keeping my tires under me. I was planning to try and make a run back at him in the last 10 or 15 laps since I knew he was probably going to pass me and be gone, but that's just how this place races. I have a lot of damage, but I still managed to get back to third."

- Pierce and Moran Score Friday Night Wins at Florence
WALTON, KENTUCKY (August 8, 2025) - Bobby Pierce and Devin Moran each won a feature race during the Friday night session of the 43rd Annual Sunoco North/South 100 presented by Lucas Oil at Florence Speedway, with both drivers earning $6,000 for their victories. Pierce took the lead from Jonathan Davenport in the first 25-lap race on the 15th circuit and maintained it for the win. Davenport finished second, followed by Brandon Overton, Brandon Sheppard, and Ricky Thornton, Jr. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the third time this season and the 27th time in his career, Pierce will attempt to make history Saturday night in the $75,000-to-win crown jewel race, as he tries to become the first driver to win the race, which began in 1984, three years in a row and four times overall - a feat never before achieved in the race's storied history. "It's very tough to lead at this track, especially around these corners. When they come up, you've got so many different lines to run, and JD really likes to run that middle line coming down. It was a great track; it had a bottom, middle, and top. It was tough in lapped traffic, and at one point, they were directly double-file in front of me. I kind of thought JD made the mistake of going low instead of high, but he got underneath those guys, and we almost went 4-wide. That's not a place you want to be, so I had to back out of it. The straightaways are so long, there's a lot of time to decide where they're going. You just have to look ahead and see where they're running - before you get to them, you already have that decision in your mind," said the Oakwood, Illinois native. Davenport, the current Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points leader and two-time North/South 100 winner, finished runner-up to Pierce in the first feature. "Obviously I can't see much out of the right side," as he talked about going four-wide in traffic off of turn four on lap 14. "I was coming down through here in the slime, trying to give everybody enough room outside of me. It was pretty wild there for a minute, but congratulations to Bobby. My guys worked today and last night trying to figure out our problem. We still had it in hot laps, and we went and changed one more thing, and that's what fixed it." Overton rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third in the first feature. "I'm honestly excited. Obviously, we're going to face a tough heat; there are no slouches here, and we'll probably start in the second row. We've had a good car both nights, you know. I was trying not to go too hard at the start, then Bobby passed us, and Daulton (Wilson) passed me, so I had to work my way back up to him. We're okay. I'm excited and looking forward to it."

Completing the top ten in the first feature were Zack Dohm, Michael Chilton, Dustin Nobbe, Max Blair, and Josh Rice. In the second 25-lap race to finish the night, Mike Marlar was in control from the start until contact from a car he was trying to lap ended his night on lap 15. Moran then inherited the lead and kept the field paced through several cautions in the final 10 laps to take the victory. Hudson O'Neal finished second, with Justin Rattliff rounding out the Big River Steel Podium in third during the second feature. Garrett Alberson was fourth, and Carson Ferguson completed the top five drivers. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the seventh time this year and the 22nd time in his racing career, Moran will be vying for his first North/South 100 victory on Saturday night. "I definitely thought the checkered flag was ever going to come out. Unfortunately, when the one caution that got us to the lead happened, it was unfortunate for Mikey (Marlar). I really don't think we had anything for him. Racing just happens like that sometimes when you try to squeeze in there by a lapped car, and apparently that car didn't know he was there. I really didn't know where to be on the restarts. I saw the 12 car (Jameson) in second on the top, and you never know where Hudson is going to be because his car has been really good on the bottom, and he's won races here on the top. It was a nail-biter. I felt like it was never going to end, and when you are running the top, it can be very treacherous. I'm glad it's over," said the driver from Dresden, Ohio native. O'Neal, who started sixth, fought off a battle with James Rattliff and teammates Jason Jameson and Justin Rattliff to finish second. "We needed to be careful at the right moments, so we had a couple of spots where the caution came out, and we had to go back to second. That's just part of it, and in these short 25-lap races, you've got to take advantage of every opportunity. I fell back to fifth and thought, man, I don't know if I can catch up in such a short time, but it ended up working out." Rattliff, a former Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Rookie of the Year, rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third place. "It's really cool to be up here. I'd like to dedicate this to Jeff Gullett, and I'm glad we could get a good run. I could hit the bottom about every other lap, and then they'd just sail on top, and I was just like I needed to hit my marks. I was just down there trying to be as consistent as I could be," said the Campbellsville, Kentucky native who has competed in just a handful of races over the past few seasons.

- Alberson and Wilson Earn Thursday Night Prelim Wins at Florence
WALTON, KENTUCKY (August 7, 2025) - Garrett Alberson and Daulton Wilson both started from the third position and went on to win their 25-lap main events on Thursday night at Florence Speedway, kicking off the Sunoco Race Fuels North/South 100 presented by Lucas Oil weekend. In the $6,000-to-win opener, Alberson passed race leader Devin Moran on the 21st lap after Moran had led the first 20 laps of the race. Mike Marlar, who finished third and rounded out the Big River Steel Podium, ran in second until Alberson got by him on lap 14. Cory Hedgecock finished fourth, with Hudson O'Neal rounding out the top five drivers. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the second time in 2025 and for the third time in his career, the Las Cruces, New Mexico native won a hard-fought battle with Moran and Marlar for the win. "I was a little scared after the early incident in turn one. I didn't know if the whole left front was knocked out or not. I wonder if that kind of got me all riled up, and I just thought, I'm going to go for it. Devin was building a lot of speed up high, but he started kind of falling into the exit a little, and I could just run right through the crumbs and make up a lot of time." Moran, who was looking for his 7th series win of the season, came home in second after leading the first 20 laps of the race. Moran was coming off a $20,000 victory at Florence in June. "Our car was really good, and then Garrett got by me. We had a great race among the top three. The track was really good tonight; you could run anywhere on it. We'll just work on it some more for tomorrow night and see if we can close the deal and take one spot better." Moran finished 1.200 seconds behind Alberson at the finish. Marlar was in the thick of things the whole race, finishing a close third. "We had a good car all night. I could run with Devin through the middle and bottom, and then Garrett got in there. We had a really good race for the lead. It's a great start to the weekend for us.""

Completing the top ten were Jimmy Owens, Max Blair, Donald McIntosh, Carson Ferguson, and Tripp Gerrald. In the nightcap, Wilson had to outrun the top three-ranked drivers in the nation to earn his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season. He led the final 23 laps after getting by Jonathan Davenport early in a lead-swapping battle. Brandon Overton made a late-race charge after a caution flag with two laps to go to take the runner-up spot, with three-time and defending North/South 100 winner Bobby Pierce rounding out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Brandon Sheppard finished fourth, and Ricky Thornton Jr. completed the top drivers. Wilson is in Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the first time since winning the final East Bay Winternationals race in February of 2024. "Man, you know we haven't been bad, nothing's gone our way. My awesome car owner said, man, it's time to come home and take a break, go see your family, just re-group, and that's what we did. We all went home, took a minute to clear our heads, then we came back, focused, and went to work. We had a really good car last week and a really good car tonight. I thought I had given it away down there on that cushion, but then I thought I was either going to win or wreck." Overton, who came out of nowhere before the only caution of the race with 23 laps scored, dived to the inside of the track in the final two laps, coming up just 0.212 seconds short at the finish line. "When we fired off, I didn't feel great, but I just calmed down and did what I always do—slow down and drive this thing. I just sat there, ran around, and got into a good rhythm where I could hit the bottom and then squirt up through there. When the caution came out, I didn't think I was that close; I thought JD was leading and was gone. I didn't know Daulton was leading, but congratulations to Daulton. It's a good start to the weekend for us." Pierce, who is attempting to become the first driver in the 43-year history of the race to win three consecutive North/South 100s on Saturday night, ran as high as second, briefly took the lead from Wilson, but officially never led a lap as he finished in third. "I don't know; I didn't need the caution because we probably would have finished second. Congrats to Daulton on the win, so we were third tonight. We'll try to get a better race car tomorrow night. I need to get the thing in the ground a little bit; I am just kind of wheel-spinning." The winner's JRR Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing and sponsored by Grant Lee Farms, MGL Auto Sales, The Auto Outlet, Innovative Community Solutions, Keltner Contracting, JRR Motor Sales, B&L Construction, Cheap Chevrolet, VP Fuels, and New Point Lighting and Design. Completing the top ten were Zack Dohm, Justin Rattliff, Chris Ferguson, Josh Rice, and Dustin Nobbe.

- Strickler takes command late for USMTS Show-Me Shootout Night 2 win at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 2, 2025) - After struggling to 25th place in Friday's opener, Kyle Strickler turned it around in a big way Saturday night at the 16th annual USMTS Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout Presented by Foley Equipment. Strickler, the veteran from Mooresville, N.C., captured the finale of the weekend doubleheader at Lucas Oil Speedway. Starting eighth, Strickler took the lead from Tanner Mullens on lap 41 and went on to prevail in the 50-lap main event over Jim Chisholm for a $5,000 pay day. Other feature winners on Saturday night night were Trevor Drake (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Tyler Wolff (Hermitage Lumber Late Models) and Mason Beck (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). Strickler, who's driven Late Models in the past including a podium finish at the Show-Me 100 at Lucas Oil Speedway in 2020, was ecstatic about his rebound from a night earlier. "This is just awesome," Strickler said in victory lane. "I've run second in the Show-Me (100) and to win a USMTS race here is awesome. This is a beautiful facility. Everybody said the race track is hard to get ahold of here, I just had to start with the complete wrong set-up on the thing. "Tomorrow's my birthday. This will make the long trip home a lot easier. Man, there ain't nothing like a win to turn things around. I'm getting old. I turn 42 tomorrow. I was really trying to manage my tires and I think I did a really good job of being patient on the starts and not put myself in a bad position." The race had a rough beginning that required patience from the contenders as there were two cautions before two official laps could be completed. Reece Solander was credited with leading the first lap with Kyle Brown in second. Mullens, looking for a weekend sweep, moved into second on lap five as the race began to get some rhythm under green, but was 1.5 seconds behind Solander when the event's third caution stopped the momentum again. The restart saw Mullens roar to the lead, going past Solander on the outside coming off turn two. Mullens extended his margin to one second by lap 15 with Solander in front of eighth-starting Kyle Strickler and Brown. The leaders caught lapped traffic by lap 19 just as the fourth caution came out as Mullens led Solander and Strickler. Seven cars piled up in turn one on the restart, spinning due to fluid laid down by the car of sixth-running Sean Gaddis. Following the lengthy delay to clean up the fluid, Mullens and Strickler broke away after the green to lead the field by about 10 car lengths. Mullens' advantage over Strickler was 1.1 seconds by lap 30 with Solander another 2.4 seconds behind in third. By lap 35, the leaders were dealing with slower traffic and Mullens was maintaining his advantage as the laps clicked away. But suddenly Strickler came to life, cutting the gap to one-half second by lap 38 with Chisholm having moved into third to make it a three-car battle. Strickler wrestled the lead away with a slider coming out of turn four on lap 41. Chisholm took second away from Mullens on lap 43, but was a half-second behind Strickler with six to go and couldn't make up any ground. Strickler held on from there, beating Chisholm by .895 seconds with USMTS season championship leader Rodney Sanders third after starting 23rd. Mullens settled for fourth with Tyler Wolff fifth. Chisholm, who swept the Show-Me Shootout a year ago en route to the series championship, was pleased with finishes of third and second on back-to-back nights. "A really good weekend for us as a team. We can't complain at all," Chisholm said. "Congratulations to Kyle. He drove around us early and drove away with it. We probably took it a little too easy, early. We fell back a few spots, but it's all about not getting over your head. I'm super proud of my whole team." Sanders, who was unable to complete his heat race due to a flat tire, salvaged a podium finish after the rough start to his night. "We struggle early in the night here," Sanders said. "We were so bad in the heat and the B-Main. I just have to thank all my guys. It would be so easy to get down and take your confidence away. We were thrashing, just trying to get something going. It was a good team effort and a good rebound." Drake hangs on for USRA B-Mods win: Trevor Drake of Brighton led all 20 laps, but paced the final one by the narrowest of margins over his buddy Ryan Gillmore to capture the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod win, his first of the season at Lucas Oil Speedway. "I kept hearing somebody on the outside, but they quit showing the video (jumbotron) with about 10 to go," Drake said. "I seen Gillmore and (Jon) Sheets going back and forth and I saw Gillmore on the board with like three to go. I live with him so I've got to live with the car all week and then to follow it every week here, I'm glad to finally beat it." Drake started on the pole with Sheets to the outside and it was Drake who led in the early going with Sheets right behind. Drake gradually worked his lead to .706 seconds by the mid point on lap 10. As action continued to run caution-free, Drake led by just under one second when he caught lapped traffic on lap 15. That's when caution came out as one of the slower cars spun in turn four. By this point, 10th-starting Gillmore had advanced to third for the single-file restart. As Gillmore battled past Sheets for second on lap 17, a caution came out for a spin in turn two. Drake was able to hold off Gillmore over the final three laps, prevailing by .029 seconds - or about a quarter-car-length - as Gillmore made a last-corner charge on the outside. Andy Bryant was credited with third and JC Morton fourth after Sheets, who finished third at the checkers, was disqualified in post-race tech inspection. Wolff finishes Late Model sweep: Tyler Wolff ran away from the field and won the Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature for the second night in a row. The Fayetteville, Ark., led all 20 laps and beat runner-up Robbe Ewing. Wolff, fifth in the USMTS feature earlier, had a four-second lead when the race's long caution flew on lap 13 for debris. He didn't have any trouble after the restart, rolling to the final margin of 2.99 seconds over Ewing. "This Late Model fits our style pretty good," Wolff said. "Man, the track was awesome. You could drive it about wherever you wanted to go and drive it pretty hard. What a weekend. That was awesome." Tucker Cox wound up third with Alan Westling fourth and JC Morton fifth. USRA Stock Cars win to Beck: Mason Beck of Urbana won a thriller to cap the program, battling past Jason Hughes with a winning pass with four laps remaining for the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win. Beck led Rodney Schweizer by a half-second when caution slowed the action on lap seven. Hughes, the winner on Friday night, grabbed second on the restart and the two battled side-by-side over the next several laps. Hughes finally was able to power past Beck on the outside on lap 13 to take command. But Beck battled back on the inside and regained the top spot on lap 16, coming out of turn four. Beck was able to hang on to earn his third win of the Lucas Oil Speedway season, beating Hughes by .381 seconds. "He got past me last night. I was over-driving it pretty hard," Beck said. "I about gave another one away. As soon as he got around me I thought it was over. I remembered I just had to calm down and hit my marks." Schweizer finished third with William Garner fourth and James McMillin fifth.

- Mullens wires the field as 16th annual USMTS Show-Me Shootout opens at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 1, 2025) - Tanner Mullens bounded to the front on the opening lap and went on to lead all 40 circuits to capture Friday night's opener of the 16th annual USMTS Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout Presented by Foley Equipment. Mullens, of Wichita, Kan., outdistanced Tyler Wolff to earn the $5,000 prize at Lucas Oil Speedway. The United States Modified Touring Series will go again on Saturday night in another 40-lapper for another $5,000 to win. Other feature winners on Friday night were JC Morton (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Tyler Wolff (Hermitage Lumber Late Models) and Jason Hughes (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods). From the inside of row two, Mullens grabbed the lead shortly after the green, getting around pole-starter Nic Bidinger. He navigated two brief cautions and a bout with lapped traffic to score his third USMTS victory of the season and 16th overall win. "I was fading there at the end," Mullens said of his 1.5-second win over Wolff. "The lappers were right the the bottom and the middle was getting really, really dirty. I would stay out there for a few laps and if I wasn't going to make it, I had to go back to the bottom. "I'd seen Tyler (Davis) was getting close there. He's really good here and I knew it would be tough, but I held on until the end. It was a pretty good evening." Mullens had a 1.4-second lead by lap five but the big early news was Davis, advancing to third from eighth. Ninth-starting Wolff, a few minutes after winning the Late Model feature, found himself in fifth after eight laps. That's when the first caution flew for a spin in turn two. Davis took second away from Kyle Brown on the restart as Mullens pulled away. Brown spun on lap 12 to bring out the second and final caution. Mullens got it rolling again after the restart and established a 1.5-second lead over Davis by the halfway mark. Showing his strength on longer green-flag runs, Mullens' lead peaked at 2.4 seconds by lap 24. But as he encountered lapped traffic soon after, Davis began to slice into the margin and the gap was under one second by lap 29. Then as Mullens got around a pack of slower cars and Davis was held up, he had breathing room again. Mullens was flawless from there as the race remained green. He won by 1.5 seconds over Wolff, who passed Davis for second with one to go. "It feels good. We've ran good here in the past," Mullens said. "It's just kind of hit or miss. Here lately we've been a little bit better. I just can't thank everybody enough who's on the car." Wolff said his only hope was to stay close and hope for a late-race caution. "I was just trying to be patient," Wolff said. "We were close. We were just off a little bit, but overall a good night for us. Getting to run a Late Model and Mod back-to-back is fun." Tenth-starting Bobby Williams of Hermitage finished fourth and Bidinger was fifth. USMTS championship leader Rodney Sanders salvaged 10th after starting 17th. He finished one spot behind defending series champion Jim Chisholm, who started 13th. USRA B-Mods win to Morton: JC Morton of Springfield earned his second Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod win of the season, passing race-long leader Colson Kirk with five laps remaining. Front-row starters Kirk and Logan Smith ran 1-2 in the early going with Andy Bryant and Morton joining the battle. Those four were bunched within one second by lap six and Morton advanced to second two laps later. Finding speed on the bottom, the fifth-starting Morton closed in on Kirk by lap 10 and was .408 seconds behind when caution appeared on lap 11. Morton hopped to the high side on the restart and started to reel in the leader, finally going around Kirk on lap 15 as he switched back to the bottom. Morton took it home from there, beating Kirk by 1.5 seconds. "We took off there and the top five cars were really all about the same speed," Morton said. "We were just kind of maintaining, trying to pull off a move here or there. Then we got to the leader and I about showed 'em the top over here and I think that might have about ended it. We got back going green and I chose the top and got behind and it ended up all right." Smith held onto third with Jon Sheets fourth and Waylon Dimmitt coming from 12th to fifth. Wolff scores Late Model triumph: USMTS regular Tyler Wolff of Fayetteville, Ark., scored his second Hermitage Lumber Late Model win at Lucas Oil Speedway, leading all 20 laps of the main event. Wolff said he's enjoying running the Late Model when he can, using one of his Modified motors to supply the power. "It's been a great time getting to run it here," Wolff said. "I appreciate the track running these things. It fits the motors we have and makes it a lot of fun. It gives us a chance to do double duty." Wolff started up front and set the clear pace from the start, building a 2.5-second lead over Robbe Ewing by lap 11 when the race's first caution came out. The caution didn't affect Wolff as he quickly rebuilt the lead in excess of two seconds by lap 15. Wolff went on to prevail by 3.3 seconds over Ewing, the season points leader at the track. Tucker Cox finished third with JC Morton fourth and Bryon Allison fifth. Hughes earns USRA Stock Cars win: Four-time USMTS Modified champion Jason Hughes, of Watts, Okla., came to Lucas Oil Speedway in another division. Hughes took the lead on lap four and drove away for the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature victory. It was his second in a Stock Car in two attempts this season. "These Stock Cars put on a hell of a race," Hughes said. "It reminds me of the old days in the Modifieds when we had no traction, no side-bite and you're just out there sliding around. You just have to keep it all underneath you and that's a lot of fun." Fourth-starting Hughes took the lead from William Garner on a lap-four restart after Garner paced things to that point. Garner faded out of contention a lap later when his car lost power, but did fire back up to remain on the lead lap. Meanwhile, Hughes led Mason Beck in a two-car breakaway with Rodney Schweizer nearly three seconds behind in third. Hughes edged away to a 1.2-second lead over Beck by lap 12. Hughes went on to win by 1.7 seconds over Beck with Schweizer third, Christopher Sawyer fourth and Johnny Coats fifth.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Sanders brings latest USMTS title pursuit to Show-Me Shootout
WHEATLAND, MO. (July 30, 2025) - Rodney Sanders' five United States Modified Touring Series championships stand above anyone else. A sixth is starting to come into focus entering this weekend's 16th annual USMTS Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout Presented by Foley Equipment at Lucas Oil Speedway. But you won't catch the 35-year-old from Happy, Texas, sitting around and calculating points or a specific strategy as he attempts to complete the six pack. This weekend's doubleheader will be business as usual. "It would be great," Sanders said of what a sixth title would mean. "I know it's gonna be tough to finish it out, but it would be really cool if we could. "The goal of every race is going into it to win. If you're not running solid, you get the best you can to not do anything dumb that would jeopardize a bad finish. We try to go to win and the points kind of take care of themselves … while trying to be smart about it at the same time." Sanders brings a 141-point lead over defending USMTS champ Jim Chisholm into the action on Friday and Saturday, the second time that the Show-Me Shootout has been expanded into a two-night affair with full shows both nights. It's been a vintage Sanders season so far with five USMTS wins in 21 attempts along with 17 top-five finishes. Overall, he has 10 wins in 2025 while focusing entirely on his Modified team after dabbling in Open Late Models the last few years. "I'd love to do it," Sanders said of running the Late Model. "But we can't afford to do it and the Modified. I had to do one or the other. "It's been a really good season. We've been really consistent and it's been a solid year." Sanders has won USMTS championships in 2013, 2014, 2019, 2020 and 2023. He's seen drivers come and go and the technology in the cars changes from his early days in the sport, but he continues to excel through the challenges. "It's always been really tough, the USMTS," Sanders said. "You have different people, but the competition is really tough in that series, from when I started to now. It seems like the cars are so much different now than back then. "The biggest difference is how much clean air matters and how much the body makes a difference," Sanders said, comparing it to the Late Models but without quite as much importance in shocks and springs. "But we're getting close to that, just on a smaller scale." As always, he expects the Lucas Oil Speedway surface to test him and the others this weekend. He won the Show-Me Shootout in 2019 and 2023, but ran sixth and 10th in last year's rendition. "We've had really good runs there, but also have struggled there," Sanders said of Wheatland. "There hasn't been a whole lot of in-between. It seems like every time we go we're almost on a different set-up. That place is very unique. It's a great place and I like going there. It's just it can throw you curveballs with what the track can be." The busy two days on the dirt track also includes three divisions of the Pitts Home and Realty Weekly Racing Series. The Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars will be running for $500 to win and the Hermitage Lumber Late Models will also be in action racing for $750-to-win on Friday. The next night, the Stock Cars and B-Mods will go after $750 to win in the feature while the Late Models compete for $1,000-to-win. The USMTS feature each night will pay $5,000 to the winner. Grandstand gates open at 4 p.m. both days with hot laps at 6:30 and racing to follow.

- Jackson, Sheets split USRA B-Mod Twin 20s on Lucas Oil Speedway's Fan Appreciation Night
WHEATLAND, MO. (July 26, 2025) - Kris Jackson of Lebanon had a rough finish to the opening half of Lucas Oil Speedway's unique Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod Twin 20s on Saturday night, but turned misfortune into a trip to victory lane. Taking advantage of a full-field invert after finishing 24th and last in the opener, Jackson led all the way to win the second 20-lapper after Jon Sheets of Nevada won the opener in a thriller. As 104 cars checked into the pits on Mickey Fleehart Memorial Fan Appreciation Night, other feature winners were: Robbe Ewing (Hermitage Lumber Late Models), Cole Campbell (Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds), Kenny Carroll (Hickamo Super Stocks) and Chad Eickleberry (Show-Me Vintage Racers). Jackson spun and hit a tractor tire guarding the infield in turn two with five laps to go in the first feature. He said it left the car damaged and, after making a couple of laps, he pulled off to await a fresh start in the second race. When fans voted to invert the entire field, it put Jackson up front. He car was good enough to lead all 20 laps as he beat Dawson David, who also started on the front row after he was 23rd in the first feature. "I was just trying too hard in the first one," Jackson said, noting that he and Colson Kirk got together battling for position, leading to his spin and contact with the tractor tire. "This thing drives like a square-body truck after hitting that tire. I had a lot of play in the wheel and it wasn't fun to drive, but I had enough track that it was OK." Jackson earned $1,000 for his second Pitts Homes and Realty Weekly Racing Series win of the season. Sheets made a late pass to win the first 20-lapper, overtaking JC Morton with two laps to go. While that win was worth $1,000 to Sheets, it didn't do him any good for the second feature as fans voted during a 10-minute break to invert the entire finishing order. "We can't get any worse than last year," Sheets said during the break. "We won the first feature and we wrecked out on the first lap of the second one. So if we finish, we'll be ahead of the game." Sheets added that if he was sitting in the stands, he would have voted for the full-field invert as well. Jackson set the pace as action resumed, opening a one-second lead over David that held steady over the first 10 laps. Of the high finishers in the opener, J.T. Carroll was running 13th by the midpoint with Morton 18th and Sheets 22nd. With laps quickly clicking by as the raced remained caution-free, Jackson couldn't shake clear of David as Casey Thomas ran nearly three seconds behind in third. The first caution didn't appear until lap 16, with Jackson leading David by .778 seconds. Jackson had a good restart and held on over the final four laps to pick up the win, beating David by 1.4 seconds at the checkers. Thomas finished third with Trevor Drake fourth and Chad Clancy, who started 14th, taking fifth. Carroll wound up 12th, Morton was 13th and Sheets, after scraping the wall early in the race in traffic, wound up 20th. "That's a case of a full-field invert. Nothing that anybody did wrong," Sheets said. "You just get so bottle-necked right there in the middle that you've got guys dicing and changing lanes and I didn't see the lane change coming." Morton took command at the start of the opener with Kirk and Carroll battling behind him. As those two swapped second, Morton built a 1.1-second lead by lap 10. Morton was two seconds clear when caution flew on lap 16 when Kris Jackson spun while running fifth. Sheets took advantage of the restart by hopping to the high groove and passing Morton for the lead on lap 18. They were running side by side taking the white flag, with Sheets .159 in front at the start-finish line, when another caution came out. Sheets took the one-lap sprint for the win, his fourth of the season, beating Morton by a half-second. Andy Bryant was third and Carroll fourth. Ewing scores first Late Model win: Robbe Ewing broke through for his first Hermitage Lumber Late Model victory after four second-place runs this season. The Stockton driver and points leader outran the field by more than six seconds to win the 20-lap feature. Ewing said running up front in a B-Mod B feature in the race prior to the Late Model feature was beneficial. He hugged the bottom groove while leading all 20 laps. "You never want to be in a B-Main, but I think it kind of showed me where I needed to be on the track," Ewing said. "It wasn't that fast around the middle or top." Ewing beat Jim Greenway to the lead into turn one as the race began and he quickly opened a 1.5-second lead just five laps into the race. By one lap shy of the halfway point on lap nine he was turning into a runaway, leading second-place Alan Westling by 4.7 seconds when caution flew for debris on the track. It was more of the same after the restart. Ewing opened a 4.2-second command by lap 15 and it was clear sailing as the race remained under green. Ewing finished a straightaway's margin in front of Greenway with Westling third Dylan Hoover and JC Morton following. Greenway, however, was disqualified in post-race tech inspection, elevating those behind him a position. USRA Modifieds win to Campbell: Long-time B-Mod competitor Cole Campbell of Mexico, Mo., posted his first Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified feature win, pacing all 20 laps to hold off Jason Pursley. Campbell started on the pole and took he lead out of turn four on the opening lap Chase Sigg and season points leader Nic Bidinger following. Campbell had a one-second lead when the first caution appeared on lap four. Bidinger moved into second by lap five with Jason Pursley into third as Campbell continued to set the pace. A lap-12 caution slowed the action and wiped out Campbell's 2.1-second lead over Pursley. Pursley challenged Campbell for the lead during two more restarts, with Campbell using the high side to hold the lead. Campbell rolled from there as the final five laps remained green and beat Pursley by 1.6 seconds. Ryan Middaugh charged from 15th to third with Bidinger fourth and Dayton Pursley fifth. "It feels great. I'm about in tears," Campbell said in victory lane. "I've been wanting to win here for a long time and to do it in an A Mod makes it even better." Carroll earns Super Stocks win: Kenny Carroll of Camdenton overcame numerous late restarts to capture his third Hickamo Super Stocks feature victory of the season, holding off Tim Brown and Josh Jones. Carroll and fellow front-row starter Jones ran 1-2 in the early going, opening a two-second gap on third-place Frank Escamilla by lap five. That's when caution appeared and bunched up the field. Carroll had an excellent restart and was able to open a 1.8-second lead over Jones by lap eight with Gary Clark moving into third. Carroll was ahead by 1.6 seconds when a lap-12 caution slowed the action. Ninth-starting Brown advanced into the top three after the restart again, as it appeared Carroll was taking command, another caution flew on lap 16. Carroll was able to take it to the finish from there, finishing .890 seconds in front of Brown with Jones third. "It was a real good night for us," Carroll said, noting that his son, J.T., got the car prepped in the shop this week. As for the late going, Carroll said the restarts tested his patience. "I got to tell you, me and the good Lord had a real good conversation that last five or six laps," Carroll said. "I've got to give it all to Him tonight. I usually can't do that without screwing up and I don't think I bobbled any of that." Tony Anglin settled for fourth with Will Smart in fifth. Eickleberry prevails in Show-Me Vintage Racers: Chad Eickleberry of Warrensburg, driving a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle, led the final 14 laps to dominate the Show-Me Vintage Racers feature as the series was a special guest class. Fifth-starting Eickleberry grabbed the lead away from Owen Evinger on lap two and had a four-second command by lap seven in the 15-lap Show-Me Vintage Racers feature. Eickleberry had a five-second lead when caution flew on lap 10. Just after the restart, the race was red-flagged after Ed Neil took a hard hit coming out of turn two. After a lengthy delay and another caution, Eickleberry eventually completed the win. Evinger held off Bob Werkmeister for second, 2.5 seconds behind the winner. Jim Thorne was fourth and Mickie Cook fifth. "Thank you guys for all coming out and supporting us through all this heat," Eickleberry said. "I'll tell you, it was cooking in the cars tonight." The evening was named in honor of Fleehart, the former president of the SMVR and long-time driver in the series. Fleehart passed away in 2023.

- Lucas Oil Speedway pushes Saturday action back 30 minutes due to excessive heat
WHEATLAND, MO. (July 24, 2025) - Lucas Oil Speedway will open a half-hour later than scheduled and also delay the start of Saturday's Fan Appreciation Night racing program by 30 minutes due to a forecast of excessive heat. Both pit gates and grandstands will open at 4:30 p.m. with hot laps pushed back to 7 p.m. Opening ceremonies and racing action will follow hot laps. Fan Appreciation Night will include a concessions special plus a double dose of the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods. Round 9 of the Pitts Homes and Realty Weekly Racing Series will offer fans an all-beef hot dog and 32-ounce fountain drink for $5 throughout the evening. On the track, the B-Mod Twin 20s run their first 20-lap feature, then pull into the infield for a seven-minute break to make any changes to the cars.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: B-Mod veteran Robbe Ewing finds quick success in Late Model
WHEATLAND, MO. (July 24, 2025) - Robbe Ewing of Stockton didn't have expectations entering his first season behind the wheel of the EKJ Motorsports Capital Late Model. Having driven a B-Mod exclusively in a racing career that began in 2014, Ewing was open-minded and eager to see what happened. "I've always wanted to do something else, but the B-Mod deal is what we can afford and we enjoy it," Ewing said. "The stars aligned. We couldn't have done it any other way. I'm just the lucky guy who gets to drive both cars." One of the surprise stories of the 2025 Lucas Oil Speedway season has been Ewing's success in the Late Model. While he's yet to win a feature - he's been closed with four second-place finishes - Ewing holds a two-point lead in the season points chase over JC Morton, another B-Mod driver who's doubling up in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model division. This Saturday night will be a particularly busy one for those two. Fan Appreciation Night will find twin 20-lap features for the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods with the Late Models, Hickamo Super Stocks and Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds also in action. The Show-Me Vintage Racers are a special guest class. Ewing, 33, said EKJ Motorsports, one of the sponsors on the B-Mod, came to him after last season to discuss him driving their Late Model. It's a 2020 Capital that Larry Ferris had success in over the last few years at Lucas Oil Speedway. Brian Larimore of Dirt Track Specialist in Nevada maintains the car and oversees it in the pits. Robbe's dad, Brian Ewing, is crew chief for the B-Mod and pitches in on the Late Model when needed. "We go and get it on Saturday morning and drag it to the track," Ewing said. "I kind of knew what to expect from the B-Mod stuff, but didn't have a lot or expectations with the Late Model. Of course, I wish we had a win or two. But if we keep putting it up front, wins will come. "Brian Larimore takes all the pressure off on the Late Model part of it. My dad is right there in the middle of the B-Mod stuff and helping Brian on the Late Model stuff on whatever he needs." A former multi-sport standout at Stockton High School and college baseball player, Ewing is a three-time track champion at Dallas County Speedway and also a past champ at Bolivar Speedway, there are challenges in going back and forth between two cars. "They drive completely different and I expected that," Ewing said. "We're six races into this Late Model deal and we have a long ways to go, but getting out of one into the other they drive totally different. You have a small tire and little horsepower (B-Mod) to lots of horsepower with big tires (Late Model). It's just a different world getting out of one into the other. "It's been an adjustment, but a fun challenge." Ewing said whatever happens the rest of the season, it's been fun on and off the track. He's getting to race just as much as past season, but only doing it one night a week which is important for family balance. He and wife Kelsey have a four-year-old daughter, Macyn. Meanwhile, winning a race in the Late Model outweighs a desire to win a track championship. "Both would be great, but we didn't go into the year saying we were going to run for points or anything like that," Ewing said. "We're not really trying to do that any more. Lucas keeps the schedule pretty spaced out and it works out good for what we want to do. "At the end of the year, if we're up there we'll definitely try to win it. If we can't, we'll hang our hats on a pretty good year in our first season in a Late Model. We just want to stay consistent and keep it up front and if we do, the wins will come." Sponsors for the Late Model and B-Mod, in addition to EKJ Motorsports and Dirt Track Specialist include Allen Autosports Race Cars, Ewing Ready Mix, Harryman Harvesting, Kustom Auto, GLJ Trucking, Johnson's Paint & Body, Spurgeon Yachts, Loehr Campground and Resort and KBN Signs and Graphics. Grandstands open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing to follow. As usual for the Pitts Homes and Realty Weekly Series, general admission is just $5 (ages 6-and-up) with 5-and-under free.

- Hudson O'Neal Wins Rain-Shortened Silver Dollar Nationals at Huset's
BRANDON, SD (July 19, 2025) - Hudson O'Neal won his first career Silver Dollar Nationals presented by MyRacePass on Saturday night at Huset's Speedway, earning $75,000 in the richest first-place prize in the 15-year history of the event. His father, Don, won the inaugural race in 2011 at the now-closed I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Nebraska. O'Neal led all 67 completed laps of the originally scheduled 80 laps and was declared the winner after officials called the race due to rain that fell over the track and became too intense to continue. The race was then declared official shortly thereafter. Branndon Shappard, who took the second spot on lap 55 from Jonathan Davenport, finished in second, followed by Bobby Pierce, Davenport, and Ricky Thornton, Jr. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the fourth time this season and for the 33rd time in his career, the 2023 Series Champion picked up the second most significant win of his career, second only to a $100,000 payday at Kokomo Speedway in 2023, as he became the 11th different winner of the Silver Dollar Nationals. "This is unbelievable. You know, to be a race car driver is something you always dream of - to be in a position to win big races, to win crown jewel races. The Silver Dollar Nationals - I have never won it before; my dad won the inaugural one back at I-80. It's so cool to be standing here at Huset's Speedway and call myself a Silver Dollar Nationals winner. I am about speechless," said the Martinsville, Indiana native. "It's not the way we necessarily wanted to win, but we'll take the rain all day whenever we're out front leading like that. Whenever I caught lapped traffic, especially down here at turns three and four and just above the bottom in one and two, I just couldn't bring myself to go out there and pass the lapped cars. I knew those guys in front of me couldn't move either, and I'm sure they were trying their best everywhere. I was just trying not to give the race away. I'm not going to move out of there; if somebody's going to pass me, I'll make them pass me somewhere else. I was able to get by a couple of lapped cars, and then we caught a lot of cautions at the right time, which was a big help." Sheppard, who was attempting to equal Davenport's event record with three Silver Dollar Nationals wins, finished as the runner-up for the second straight night, earning $25,000 for his efforts. "I don't know if we would have gone back to green, it would have changed anything. Hudson was really good, and we all know how important it is to get out front at this place; especially because you can build momentum so well here, it makes it really hard to pass the leader for sure. So, congrats to him (O'Neal), congrats to Bobby, and thanks to all of the fans for sticking it out tonight. It was a solid weekend for us; we definitely wanted to win, but overall it was a good weekend. We're not going to hang our heads — we've got a fast race car, and we're looking forward to the rest of the year." Pierce who won the Silver Dollar Nationals in 2019 rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "It is what it is. Hudson ran a really good race, congrats to him. Congrats to Brandon, and I don't know if 13 laps would have changed anything. It was follow the leader forever, and then the track finally got good, and then came the rain."

- Crigler cashes another 4 State Dirt Late Model victory at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (July 19, 2025) - Sawyer Crigler continued his dominance on the 4 State Dirt Late Model Series and its action at Lucas Oil Speedway this season, winning the 30-lap feature on Saturday night over Dalton Cloyd. Criger took the lead on lap three and held on after a late restart to earn his fifth series victory of the season and back up his 4 State win at Lucas Oil Speedway in March. He earned $1,250 for the win as he led the final 28 of 30 laps. "It took a couple of laps to kind of get my rhythm going, but after that it was smooth sailing," the third-starting Crigler said in victory lane. Cloyd led the opening two laps before Crigler grabbed the lead on lap three going down the backstretch. Crigler opened a 1.6-second lead when he caught lapped traffic on lap eight with Cloyd second and Cole Wells third. The second-generation Late Model driver from Alton continued to thread his way through slower traffic to lead by 2.2 seconds at the halfway mark on lap 15. Wells took the second spot from Cloyd on lap 19 and began pursuit of the leader. But as the race remained under green, Crigler extended his cushion to 3.2 seconds with laps dwindling. Just as it appeared that Crigler was on his way to a lopsided win, caution flew on lap 25 to give Wells, Cloyd and fourth-place Dustin Atkinson another chance. Wells moved to second on the restart, closing briefly within two car lengths on the leader. But Crigler found a burst and opened a 10-car length lead with two laps remaining as yellow flew for Atkinson's spin in turn two. That left a two-lap shootout with Cloyd and Wells right behind Crigler. Crigler stuck to the low groove with Cloyd moving around the white flag lap. Crigler held on to win by .427 seconds with Wells third, Brandon Baldridge fourth and Jace Parmley fifth. "I have to thank my dad (Scott). He helps me more than anything and without him this wouldn't be possible," Crigler said. "I have to thank Brandon Baldridge. He goes with me up and down the road." Cloyd, from Fair Grove, said he ran out of time. "It was a great race. Congrats to Sawyer," Cloyd said. "I'm sorry to Cole (Wells) for getting into him on the backstretch. A couple of more laps on the top and we might have had a chance." Also posting feature wins on Horton Supply Company Veterans and Military Appreciation Night were Ryan Middaugh (Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds), Kris Jackson (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Mason Beck (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stocks Cars). Middaugh earns Modifieds win: Ryan Middaugh took command on lap eight and went on to outrun the field for the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified victory. Middaugh went around the outside of Cutshaw, who had led until that point, in turn two of lap eight. The Fulton driver had a two-second lead over Cutshaw when a lap-11 caution slowed the action. Middaugh, the 2023 track champion, took it from there to his first Lucas Oil Speedway feature win of the season and eighth overall. He beat season points leader Nic Bidinger by 1.04 seconds. "Thanks to all the veterans and military," Middaugh in victory lane. "It's been a rough year for us, but it's good to be back on the front stretch of Lucas Oil Speedway." Cutshaw rolled from the pole to the lead and needed only five laps to establish a two-second margin over Ben Stockton. He was running 1.8 in front of fourth-starting Middaugh when caution flew on lap six as two cars tangled in turn two. Soon after the restart, Middaugh took command. Cutshaw fell to fifth on the final lap with Stockton grabbing third and Dayton Pursley in fourth. B-Mods win to Jackson: Kris Jackson of Lebanon still knows his way around Lucas Oil Speedway. The seven-time track champion led all 20 laps to capture the feature win over season points leader Jon Sheets. Jackson beat Sheets to the lead as the front-row starters took the green and opened a three-quarter second lead by lap five with JC Newell running third. Jackson extended the margin to just over two seconds by lap 11 when caution flew as fourth-running Dawson David spun. It was more of the same up front after the restart, with Jackson leading Sheets as the lacks clicked away. But Sheets found a fast line on the high side and began to close, cutting Jackson's lead to .325 seconds with five laps left. Jackson said he smelled some burning oil right before the caution and was "hoping it was from the (lapped) cars in front of me. But after the caution, I didn't have any power steering." Sheets kept the pressure up coming to the white flag, but Jackson's final circuit was a less tense after Sheets drifted too high in turn two. That gave Jackson an easy drive to a 2.1-second win over Sheets. Newell finished third with Trevor Drake fourth and Michael Taylor III coming home in fifth. Beck rolls in USRA Stock Cars: Season points leader Mason Beck of Urbana led all the way to win the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature, holding off Justin Custer by two seconds at the finish. It was Beck's second feature win at the track this season and eighth top-five in nine attempts. "The rest of the year we ought to be pretty good and I hope we have some more like this," Beck said. "My dad thrashes on this thing. I got in a dirt-bike wreck this week and didn't' know if I could drive with one arm, but he had it set up where I could drive with on finger tonight." Beck navigated three early cautions to lead from the start, as Custer moved into second on lap seven and the race finally settled into a green-flag rhythm. The winner gradually stretched his lead as action remained caution-free the rest of the way. Austin held off William Garner for second with Jayden Bears fourth and Christopher Sawyer fifth.

- Brunner, Bauman earn Progressive American Flat Track motorcycle wins at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (July 18, 2025) - Progressive Flat Track motorcycles came to Lucas Oil Speedway for the first time on Friday night and put on a show, with Trevor Brunner making a last-turn pass for the feature win in the AFT Singles. Brunner of Aurora, Ind., sailed around season points leader Tom Drane on the outside in the final turn to prevail in a thriller. Drane had led nearly the entire race, taking over the top spot on lap two. Brunner and Chase Saathoff gradually cut into the lead over the final laps and Brunner was able to make the big move coming out of turn four coming to the checkered flag to win by .069 of a second. Saathoff was right behind in third. The race went for six minutes, plus two laps. Brunner made the most of the allotted time and distance. "It feels amazing. I feel like I got about 300 pounds lifted off my chest," Brunner said of his first win of 2025. "I knew I could get it done. We were missing the little things and I think it was a lot mentally for myself. "Man, this facility is awesome. These fans are awesome. This experience at Lucas Oil Speedway has been awesome and sticking around to watch us do our thing. I couldn't have picked out more of a dogfight for that one. I had to be really patient." Points leader Bauman prevails in AFT Super Twins: Briar Bauman of Salinas, Calif., led all the way to earn his fifth Super Twins victory of the season as he held off a late-race charge from Dallas Daniels by .329 seconds. Bauman took the lead with Brandon Robinson running second in the early going. Bauman led Davis Fisher by 1.33 seconds at the halfway timed mark at four minutes before Daniels rolled into the runner-up spot and began to cut into the lead. But Daniels wasn't able to reel him in for the last-lap pass. Fisher held on for third, nearly three seconds behind Bauman. "I have a great team. We're gonna keep chipping at it," said Bauman, adding "that got a little too lose for comfort" at the finish. "We started on the third row and a second place is like a win tonight," Daniels said. "The track kind of came to us."

- Davenport Scores First Career Huset's Victory
BRANDON, SD (July 18, 2025) - Jonathan Davenport led all 40 laps to win the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing Friday night event at Huset's Speedway. Davenport had to hold off a charging Brandon Sheppard after a caution with six laps to go for his first-ever win at Huset's, worth $10,000. The race was the second of three nights of action in the 15th Annual Silver Dollar Nationals Presented by MyRacePass. Sheppard, who restarted fifth after the race's only caution with 34 laps scored, moved to the outside of the track after seeing most of the race run around the bottom of the 1/3-mile oval, to finish second by 0.194 seconds. Ricky Thornton Jr. rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Devin Moran, who won the Thursday night race, finished fourth, with Hudson O'Neal rounding out the top five drivers. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the sixth time this season and for the 89th time in his career, the 3-time series champion led by as much as 3 seconds until the late race caution. With the win, Davenport is now just 10 points behind Thornton heading into Saturday night's $75,000-to-win finale. "I'm not one to sugarcoat things, but that was pretty dull until Brandon (Sheppard) got on the wheel. I wasn't really sure where to go; Cory (Fostvedt) was pointing me up, but I wasn't sure if it was down there or somewhere else, so I was just trying to block. It got pretty rough on the bottom, but overall, we were just good enough to hang on," said the Blairsville, Georgia native. "It's really tough out there. I mean, we just ran 38 laps on the bottom before I started to move around, and I really didn't move up there. These guys—Brandon, Ricky, and Devin—are going to try to move around, not just ride in line waiting for the caution to come out. I was trying to make my line as wide as I could, so congratulations to them. I know Brandon is going to race me clean—that's just one thing about this place being so narrow. I will have to go back and watch the video, and I'm sure he got a couple of runs on me. But as I went back down to the bottom, there's just not enough room to slide somebody. If we could get them to widen this place out and take that berm down even more, this place would race awesome." Sheppard's late race heroics just about paid off in the final five laps with his fifth-to-second-place run. "At that point, you don't know what's going to happen. From my perspective, it's been a one-lane track at the bottom the whole race. I knew at some point it would move up. It actually developed a few ruts, and I think that kept the bottom wet enough for us to stay fast down there. While we were racing, it was just blowing enough crumbs up top that we never had an early caution to lay it down and really pack it in, allowing others to run up there, especially those forced to do so by starting on the outside. When we went green, you don't have anything left to lose - send it in there, and it felt really good. I knew there were only six laps to go, so I pushed it as hard as I could for those six laps, but we just came up a little short. "I know I got the car about as good as we're going to get it. We changed tires right before we headed out on the track, and I think we made the right call. Clearly, the bottom was the place to be during the first half of the race. When JD fired on that restart, I fired with him, then I ran into him and knocked the nose out, and I was a little too tight after that. Overall, I think it was still a good night. Hopefully, we can get a win tomorrow night."

- Moran Opens Silver Dollar Nationals with Thursday Victory
BRANDON, SD (July 17, 2025) - Defending Silver Dollar Nationals champion Devin Moran continued his success from a year ago at Huset's Speedway, winning the $10,000-to-win Thursday portion of the 15th Annual Silver Dollar Nationals presented by MyRacePass. It was Moran's sixth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing win of the season. Ricky Thornton Jr. finished second, reclaiming the Big River Steel Chase for the Championship presented by ARP points lead by 20 points ahead of Jonathan Davenport, who ended up seventh. Bobby Pierce earned the Hoker Trucking Hard Charger award, coming from the 11th starting position to finish third and round out the Big River Steel Podium. Garrett Alberson and Hudson O'Neal completed the top five drivers. Thornton took the lead at the start of the 40-lap main event and led the first four laps until Moran, who started on the outside of the second row, overtook him for the lead. Moran then led the remaining 36 laps of the race to win by 0.917 seconds over Thornton. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 21st time in his career, the Dresden, Ohio native took the first step in defending his Silver Dollar Nationals win from one year ago. "Man, this is nothing like what I grew up on. For some reason, when the track gets like that, I feel like I can drive it really well. The guys just gave me an amazing car, you know. This is the first time we've had this car out since the Show-Me 100, and it was right back to where we were. I felt like my car was so good that I could be patient, and once I found a gap, I could go. I knew if I couldn't get by them, Ricky couldn't get by me, so I just bided my time. I want to give a huge shoutout to Huset's. They've been working on that berm, and they said they're going to keep working on it, but the track was phenomenal tonight. It had a little more moisture than I realized, but they did a great job for us." Thornton tried to stay with Moran through heavy lapped traffic and had to fend off Tuesday night's winner at Shelby County, Bobby Pierce, to secure the second spot. "Whenever you become the point leader in anything, it's a big deal. The only downside is that I lost 10 points to Devin come playoff time, so congratulations to him. His performance was really good, and I felt like I had a really good car too, but sometimes late in the race, you just don't know where to be. I thought the top would be better, which is why I was watching Shirley—they were a little better around the top in one and two than I was. On that restart, I figured I'd go to the top, but then I saw Devin underneath me, and I was thinking if he drives by me in one and two, I'm kind of screwed. It didn't work out for us, but I feel like we have a lot of good momentum heading into tomorrow." Pierce, who won the Silver Dollar Nationals in 2019, charged from the inside of row number six to round out the podium. "This place is definitely up on the wheel. There's not really a point where you can relax on this track, but through that corner you're always up on the wheel. It's usually a little choppy into three when we're hauling the mail around there. You can pick up a lot of speed if you hit it right, but if the car bounces the wrong way, you lose some speed. It's tough, but we tried our best to rebound tonight. We did a pretty good job, and if that one caution hadn't come out, it really got to me because I had just moved up to fifth and was right under JD, then the caution came out and I dropped back to seventh, so I had to fight for those positions again."

- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: 4 State Dirt Series is a fit for points leader Crigler, rookie contender Tiger
WHEATLAND, MO. (July 16, 2025) - Sawyer Crigler wants to forge his own way in the dirt Late Model racing world as his dad, long-time regional racer Scott Criger, continues to enjoy success in the sport. The 4 State Dirt Late Model Series has been the younger Crigler's path. "To me it's the best traveling series out there for the regional guy who doesn't want to break the bank," Sawyer Crigler said. "We're on a super hard tire that we're not allowed to groove or sipe. I put on a fresh set at the beginning of the year and I've run the same tire all year. I have eight races on them now and last week I put on a new right rear for the first time." One of Crigler's four series wins in 2025 came at Lucas Oil Speedway back in March. The 4 State points leader, out of Alton, Mo., looks to make it 2-for-2 on Saturday night when the 4 State Late Models headline Horton Supply Company Veterans and Military Appreciation Night at the races. All veterans and military personnel with ID will be admitted free with ID. The 4 State Dirt Series pays $1,250-to-win the feature and $400-to-start the main event. Other classes in action will be the Arctic Food Equipment Modifieds, O'Reilly Auto Parts Stock Cars and the Clear Creek Golf Car B-Mods. Sawyer Crigler, 24, grew up around the sport and found success driving Modifieds as a teenager, with track championships in the B Mod and Modified divisions at Legit Speedway in West Plains. He climbed behind the wheel of a Late Model in 2019 and hasn't looked back - as his dad continues to excel with multiple wins this season in open competition. "I feel Late Models are the top of the food chain as far as dirt-track racing. It's been a lifelong goal to be able to drive one and be successful," Sawyer Crigler said. Winning the 4 State championship is Sawyer's goal this season after narrowly missing it a year ago. He wound up third, just eight points behind series champ Dustin Atkinson and four behind runner-up Jace Parmley. "I blew up a motor at Tri-State and that pretty well sunk my ship for the season," Crigler said of last season. "I had a really good late part of the season, and got close, but it wasn't enough to get it done. That's the main goal right now, to win that deal. I haven't raced a lot of super shows because I've been focused on that." Crigler, who is 70 points in front of Joey Smith of West Plains in the series chase, said the win at Lucas Oil Speedway in March was only his third time to compete at Wheatland. "We went there in a B-Mod probably about four years ago and about three years ago I raced my dad's Late Model in a weekly series race," he said. "We didn't run very good. The next time there was the beginning of this year. "The track, best I can remember, was really slick and it really cleaned up around the bottom. I really wasn't tested at all," he added. Tiger enjoys rookie 4 State season: Another driver looking forward to coming back to Wheatland on Saturday is Dustin Tiger of West Plains. Tiger, 27, leads the 4 State Rookie of the Year standings and is third overall in points, 160 behind Crigler. Just like Crigler, Tiger said the 4 State has been a perfect proving ground for him to break into Late Model racing after spending several years campaigning Modifieds. "I ran a Modified the last three years and with Legit Speedway being closed last year I was running by myself at Flippin (Arkansas)," Tiger said. He noted that his brother-in-law, Austin Vincent, was racing on the Comp Cams Late Model series. but he wasn't budgeted to join him there. Instead, Tiger and his family have made the 4 State Series their traveling home and it's gone well. He picked up his first Late Model feature win at Lakeside Speedway on June 20th and has four top-five finishes in eight events. "I'm definitely happy with my first year in a Late Model. It's gone really good," Tiger said, adding that the camaraderie has been excellent as well. "Everyone with the series has been really nice. If you have an idea, they will value your opinion," Tiger said, adding that the competitors are "cool guys and fun to talk to. It's fun to race with their newer format this year where we qualify. It's been really good racing this year." Tiger is looking to improve upon his seventh-place finish at Lucas Oil Speedway on his first visit. Each time he takes the Late Model out it's a learning experience. "That was my first time with the 4 State rules, with their shocks and tires," he said. "I was pretty content with that. I like Lucas. It gets slick and smooth and that's of in my wheelhouse. I'm looking forward to coming back and hopefully get a podium or a win."

- Pierce Pockets $25,053 on Tuesday at Shelby County Speedway
HARLAN, IA (July 15, 2025) - Bobby Pierce won a thrilling Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FlorRacing event on Tuesday night at Shelby County Speedway, as he led the final 14 laps of the Kosiski Family 53, earning $25,053 for his second Series win of the year. Pierce, who started seventh, passed Ricky Thornton Jr. on lap 39 and then went on to win by 1.249 seconds over fellow Illini driver Brandon Sheppard, who finished second after starting in 12th. Thornton, who started sixth, led three laps and rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Hudson O'Neal, who had to take a provisional starting from the 23rd spot, finished fourth, with Jonathan Davenport, who led the first 36 laps, coming home in fifth. Pierce went to Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 26th time in his career, surviving a three-wide race for the lead to claim the victory as the Oakwood, Illinois, racer was making his first career start at the Western Iowa facility. "First off, I've got to say thank you to Shelby County Speedway — it's an awesome race track. Thank you to all the fans for coming out tonight and packing this place. I kind of had to make some of the holes myself with the sliders; those were just death sliders there. I knew I had to make them check-up. We just had to get something going; we needed a consistent line of cars running the top. I was waiting on Brandon (Overton) to make another move like he did before— that one caution he started sliding Thornton, so that let me get in the mix, but someone had to start it, so I just started throwing the bombs." "What an awesome race, JD and I were pushing hard, and I let Thornton get in there. I thought, man, I don't want to get him in the mix; you know, it was another car to race. It's very tough to keep your composure sometimes. You had Dennis Erb on the bottom, and if you messed around up there too much, he was getting a good line down there. Watching the videos from last year taught me a lot about where to run." Sheppard, who won Saturday night's race at Lucas Oil Speedway, continued his mid-season surge in Rocket1 and earned $10,000 for finishing second. "I knew he (Pierce) was going to be good, so I kind of followed him throughout and watched the lines he was running, using that to judge my own performance. He was really impressive, so congratulations to Bobby and Ricky. Thanks to all the fans for coming out; we appreciate all of you. Man, track prep tonight was on point—that thing was racy. Last year, it was pretty bottom-dominant, but they learned from that and fine-tuned it perfectly for the feature." Thornton, who now resides back in Iowa, was aiming for his 11th series win of 2025 and is now just 25 points behind Davenport heading to Huset's Speedway on Thursday night. "Man, I felt like I had a lot of fun last night, but tonight was actually more fun. Anytime you can race JD and Bobby like that and throw sliders like that, knowing they aren't going to run you over, it's pretty awesome. Of course, it sucks not to win a race like that, but Bobby was really good, and Shepp was really good as well. I feel like I need a little more to get a bit better, but we're improving on these small bullrings, so hopefully we'll go to Huset's and be really good. Hats off to everyone here — the whole city came together and helped us with gift cards and stuff like that. Hopefully we come back for a 2 or 3-day show." The winner's Bobby Pierce Racing, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Vic Hill Racing Engine and sponsored by Low Voltage Solutions, Rio Grande Waste Services, Churchill Transport, Collins Brothers Towing, Mesilla Valley Transportation, Toyota of Danville, Carnaghi Towing and Repair, Ted Brown's Quality Paint and Body Shop, Fast 1 Speed Shop.

Completing the top ten were Brandon Overton, Garrett Alberson, Dennis Erb Jr., Devin Moran, and Carson Ferguson.

- Sheppard Wins First Career Diamond Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO (July 12, 2025) - Brandon Sheppard started sixth and passed race leader Gordy Gundaker on lap 15 to win the 19th Annual CMH Diamond Nationals presented by Wieland on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Sheppard's win was his second of the season with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing, and it allowed him to tie with Josh Richards for 8th place on the all-time series wins list, now with 34 wins. Once in front, Sheppard dominated the rest of the race, which was slowed only by one caution. Sheppard won by an impressive 3.775 seconds to become the 12th different winner in the event's history. Hudson O'Neal, who started alongside Sheppard in row three, finished second, with Ricky Thornton Jr. rounding out the Big River Steel Podium in third. The rest of the top five included defending track champion Justin Wells and Garrett Alberson, who started 17th. Gundaker, who started from the Victory Fuel Pole, took the lead at the beginning of the race and held the top spot for the first 14 laps until the only caution of the race was called. Gundaker, aiming for the biggest win of his career and his first Lucas Oil victory, saw Sheppard pass him on the lap 15 restart. From that point on, Sheppard dominated the rest of the race, leading the final 36 laps unchallenged. "This place has haunted me in my dreams many times. We finished second at the Show-Me in 2021. I've performed well here before. The track is very tricky and hit or miss. It requires different skills than your average race track. We're still figuring out this new car. We're improving our consistency by trying different things each night and building on a program we've grown to be good at here," said the New Berlin, Illinois native. "Getting a win here really shows where we stand as a team. I appreciate all the fans for sticking it out. I know it looked sketchy all day from the south, but somehow we dodged the gap, and it missed us. We definitely got lucky with the weather. Wheatland was an awesome track both nights this weekend." O'Neal, who entered the weekend with four wins in five appearances at Lucas Oil Speedway, finished in second after moving up to that position on lap 27. "I think I got to overdriving a little bit," as O'Neal was asked about getting sideways near the end of the race. "I felt like I was okay, and if I could pass some of those guys, I might be able to close the gap (on Sheppard) a little bit. I was driving a bit too hard and jumped the cushion down there, almost at the opening, turned pretty sharply. I was wide open trying to get back over the banking. I think I got tired a little early, and Sheppard got too big of a lead without a caution right then, so I couldn't close in on him." Thornton, who won the previous night at Wheatland, outdueled Wells in the final laps as he survived a back-and-forth battle to finish on the Big River Steel Podium. "I felt like I was pretty good. I was a little too tight early, but once it finally slowed down, I felt really good. Hats off to the track crew. I think this race, the Show-Me, is probably the best this place has raced in a long time. I know they have been working hard to improve this place. The High Limit race here was really good too. I felt like I needed to be a lot better — I mean significantly better — to beat Brandon. He was in a league of his own tonight. I believe he got by me on lap two or three, and after that, I never really saw him."

- Sheppard runs away with Night 2 CMH Diamond Nationals victory at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (July 12, 2025) - For Brandon Sheppard, Lucas Oil Speedway had been a long-time nemesis. "This place has haunted me in my dreams numerous times," Sheppard said. "We ran second at the Show-Me (100) back in '21. I've been good here in the past, (but) it's been very hit and miss." Sheppard hit it out of the ballpark Saturday night. The New Berlin, Ill., veteran seized the lead on a lap 15 restart and ran away from there to capture the 19th annual CMH Diamond Nationals Presented by Wieland. Sheppard's first Diamond Nationals triumph and 32nd career full-field Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series triumph was worth $25,000. Sheppard beat Hudson O'Neal - the driver that edged him out in the 2021 Show-Me 100 - by nearly four seconds in his Rocket chassis. He became the 12th different winner of the Diamond Nationals. "This track is very tricky. It takes a lot of stuff than your average race track," Sheppard said in victory lane. "Hats off to Mark (car owner Mark Richards) and (crew members) Dan, Austin and Joel, all the guys back at Rocket chassis for building this new piece." Sheppard's second Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season started from the sixth spot after pole-starting Gordy Gundaker grabbed the lead at the drop of the green. Gundaker set the early pace over outside row-one starter Brandon Overton through five laps. Sheppard wasted no time moving from sixth into third with Thornton fourth. Sheppard's advance continued as he moved to second by lap 10, trailing Gundaker by 1.3 seconds. The first caution came out on lap 14 as Donald McIntosh spun in turn two, wiping out Gundaker's 1.2-second cushion over Sheppard with Overton in third. Sheppard took the lead on the restart, passing Gundaker on the outside coming out of turn four. Sheppard needed only four laps to open nearly a two-second lead and was 3.6 in front by the midway point on lap 25. O'Neal, of Martinsville, Ind., moved into second by lap 27 and gave chase, but there was no stopping Sheppard as action remained caution-free. Sheppard, handling lapped traffic with no issues, took it home and beat O'Neal by 3.77 seconds at the checkers. "It was an awesome track both nights this weekend," Sheppard said. "They did a heck of a job with it. We're just super happy and super thankful to be here in victory lane. Hopefully we can keep building off we've got here and have some consistency." Sheppard said the challenge of winning on the series cannot be overstated. It made his second win in eight days even more special. "Lucas Oil, we're racing against a tough crowd night in and night out," Sheppard said. "It is hard to win these races. To be able to stand up here two times in the last two weekends, it's really awesome. My crew has been working so hard and Mark has been working so hard." O'Neal said he just didn't have enough to deal with Sheppard. "Good job to them guys," O'Neal said. "We got out-tired a little bit, I think and he got out to too big of a lead at the end to be able to close in on him. But what an improvement from last night. The good thing is, we made the right adjustments." Diamond Nationals Night One winner Ricky Thornton Jr. emerged from the battle to finish third, a half-car-length ahead of two-time Lucas Oil Speedway track champion Justin Wells of Aurora as those two swapped the position the final two laps. Garrett Alberson wound up fifth. "I was a little too tight early," Thornton said. "Hats off to these guys. This race, the Show-Me (100), that's probably the best this place has raced in a long time. I needed to be a little bit better - a lot better - to beat Brandon. Congrats to them. He was in a league of his own tonight." Jonathan Davenport finished eighth after taking a provisional and starting 23rd in a backup car. A failed harmonic balancer felled Davenport's primary car while leading his heat with one lap to go. Davenport, who also set the fast qualifying time, salvaged a decent points night as he remained in front of Thornton for the series championship battle by by 30 points. Schultz earns Hickamo Super Stocks win: Terry Schultz of Sedalia grabbed the lead on lap seven and went on to capture the 20-lap, $1,000-to-win Hickamo Super Stocks feature. Schultz finished in front of J.T. Carroll by nearly a second. "They had a good track," Schultz said. "We got to watch the Late Model race and it was a good race and they did a good job all weekend and put on a good show for the fans." Tim Brown went from fourth to first on the opening lap and was leading Carroll when fourth-running Kyle Davis spun to bring out a lap-two caution. Schultz, who started fifth, took away the lead by going past Brown on the inside of turn one. Carroll grabbed second from Brown on lap nine when caution flew, a lap before the halfway point. Schultz expanded the lead to 1.1 seconds by lap 13 when another caution slowed the action. After the restart, the final seven laps ran caution free and Schultz won by a .908-second margin. Tony Anglin finished third with Jared Hays fourth and Brown fifth.

- Thornton Returns to Lucas Oil Victory Lane with Win at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO (July 11, 2025) - Ricky Thornton Jr. returned to Lucas Oil Victory Lane on Friday night as he won night one of the 19th Annual CMH Diamond Nationals presented by Wieland. Thornton's winless drought with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing extended back to his last victory with the series on May 17 at Eagle, Nebraska. Thornton led all 40 laps to secure his 10th Series win of 2025, earning $15,000. Jonathan Davenport finished second, while Clay Harris moved up from the 11th starting position to earn his first Big River Steel Podium of the season. Garratt Alberson, who won the previous night at 34 Raceway, finished fourth, and Devin Moran rounded out the top five. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 52nd time in his career, the defending series champion, now trailing Davenport by 50 points heading into Saturday night's $25,000-to-win main event. "Man, I felt like I was on different tires than he (Davenport) was, and I was thinking, man, he's so good here. Did I really make a bad decision to be on different tires? We took off, and he was a little better than I was at times, which kind of surprised me. I felt like I should be a little better on the bottom. I almost overdrove the straightaways, and it was wheelspinning really bad. That caution kind of saved me. It calmed me down and let me think about what I needed to do. I had a good restart and thought the top in one and two looked really good, but it was right on the edge. One time when I entered three, I felt like I was going to end up in the wall," said the Chandler, Arizona native. Davenport, who is aiming for his record-tying fourth National Championship, finished second after initially fighting off Brandon Overton early in the race and Clay Harris in the final laps. "I think it was about tires. It's so crazy. I don't know; you think you know a little about tires, and then all of a sudden, something like tonight happens. Clay did an awesome job coming from where he did on as soft as tires as you could run. Ricky did a good job too, and he had on soft tires as well. I really thought we were sitting in the catbird's seat with the hard tires, but it was just a little different night. They had a lot of water on the track, and obviously, you can still see it's kind of brown all the way across; it was quite shiny black, yet. Hats off to the track crew." Harris, who earlier in the day took delivery of another engine after mechanical issues on Friday night at 34 Raceway, nearly matched his best career finish with the series by finishing second at Ocala in 2024. "It means a lot to come home third tonight. We worked all day, and without Cameron and Chad, I wouldn't be able to run this well. I didn't think we'd finish the Lucas season because we broke a motor last night, but the guys stepped up and bought us a new motor today, so we ran good, and I'm happy about it." The winner's Koehler Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Ultimate Towing and Recovery, Knight's Companies, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms Racing, Elite Ready Mix, Capital Waste, Bilstein Shocks, Sunoco Rae Fuels, EMD Wraps, and Certified Inspection Services.

- Thornton dominates opener at Lucas Oil Speedway's CMH Diamond Nationals
WHEATLAND, MO. (July 11, 2025) - It was all Ricky Thornton Jr. on Friday night at Lucas Oil Speedway, as the 19th annual CMH Diamond Nationals Presented by Wieland kicked off. Thornton, of Chandler, Ariz., led all 40 laps to earn his 10th Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series feature victory of the season for the $15,000 prize. Jonathan Davenport was second and Clay Harris came home in third as 36 cars checked into the pits for Night One. The stakes will be even higher on Saturday night with $25,000 going to the Night 2 Diamond Nationals winner. A total of 36 Late Models checked into the pits for the opener and the series' top two drivers battled it out from the start of the night. Scoring his first series win since May, Thornton was coming off a 20th-place finish in a feature he did not finish a night earlier at 34 Raceway in Iowa. Thornton said his 52nd career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory was a much-needed boost to his Koehler Motorsports team. "They busted their butts. We drove here all night and got here at 4 this morning," Thornton said. "They slept a few hours, then back up at 8:30. They had the motor and a little bit of front suspension was about the only thing on it. Worked all day, just trying to give ourselves a chance. "Yesterday the driver screwed up cost us a lot of parts. I just have to thank them for all their hard work." Thornton set fast qualifying time with a lap of 15.012 seconds in Group A with Davenport, of Blairsville, Ga., posting fast time in Group B at 15.073. Those two won their heat races to earn front-row starting positions for the main event and they set a blazing pace at the start. Thornton led Davenport raced mostly side by side through three laps with Thornton clinging to the lead. Caution waved on lap four for Kayden Clatt's spin in turn two. Thornton continued to hug the bottom groove after the restart as Brandon Overton slid past Davenport for second, but Davenport was back in second two laps later. That would be the race's lone caution and that was good news for Thornton who covered the 40 laps in just 13 minutes, 51 seconds. Davenport, the series points leader over Thornton, was a hefty 3.2 seconds behind the winner at the checkers. "I was on (softer) tires than he was," Thornton said of Davenport, "and I'm like man, he's so good here, did I really make a bad decision? Then we took off and he was a little better than I was. It kind of surprised me. I felt like I should have been better on the bottom and I think I almost over-driving the straightaways and wheel-spinning real bad. "That yellow came out and kind of saved me. It let me calm back down and think of what I needed to do." Looking ahead to Saturday, Thornton said "hopefully we can have a quiet day. No rain or anything like that hits us and we can be up here again." Thornton stretched his margin to more than two seconds by lap 10 with Davenport a second and a half in front of third-running Overton. The extended green-flag run saw Thornton continue to pull away, his lead hitting 3.2 seconds by lap 17. That's about the time Thornton caught lapped traffic and Davenport was able to cut the margin to 2.9 seconds at the halfway point on lap 20. But it didn't take long for Thornton to again push his lead to more than three seconds and he was never challenged from there. Davenport wound up having to fend off a hard-charging Harris, who came from 11th, to hold onto second. Davenport, with eight Lucas Oil Speedway feature wins since the spring of 2023, said he was surprised that his choice of a harder compound tire did not pay off. "You think you know a little bit about tires and something like tonight happens," Davenport said. "Clay done an awesome job coming from wherever he did on as soft as you could put on and Ricky done a good job, too, and he had on soft tires. "I really thought we were in the catbird's seat. Me and the 1 car (Brandon Sheppard) were the only ones who had all hard tires on. Just a little bit different of a night. That's what we love about Lucas Oil Speedway. It's always something a little bit different." Davenport still leads Thornton by 50 points in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series championship race. Harris, of Jupiter, Fla., finished third just .037 seconds behind Davenport. Garrett Alberson, who started 10th, was fourth and Moran settled for fifth. "It means a lot," Harris said of his season-best series finish. "Our guys have been working their (butts) off. We didn't think we were gonna finish racing the Lucas season because we broke a motor last night, but they stepped up and bought us a motor today and we run good, so I'm happy about it." Fennewald wins in Hickamo Super Stocks: Johnny Fennewald zoomed from a sixth-starting position to grab the lead by lap five and ran away from there for the Hickamo Super Stocks victory in the CMH Diamond Nationals support division. Fennewald, of Appleton City, earned $650 for the win as 31 Super Stocks were on hand. He grabbed the lead from early pacesetter Kyle Davis and set sail from there in a race slowed by only one caution. Fennewald won by a 4.6-second-margin, his second Super Stocks triumph of the season. "It's a really growing class," Fennewald said of the Super Stocks. "I didn't know how it would be, from a Stock Car to this. It's a learning curve for sure. It's a whole lot different deal, but we're starting to figure it out." Tim Brown finished third with Terry Schultz fourth and Tony Anglin fifth. The Hickamo Super Stocks will compete for $1,000 to win on Saturday as grandstands open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 followed by Late Model time trials.

- Garrett Alberson Wins a Thriller at 34 Raceway
WEST BURLINGTON, IA (July 10, 2025) - It was finally Garrett Alberson's night on Thursday at 34 Raceway as the Las Cruces, New Mexico native won his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event of the season. Alberson, who entered the event leading in most feature laps this season without a win, earned $15,000 for his second career Series victory. Alberson led the first 35 laps of the race and the final four as he held off Hudson O'Neal and Brandon Overton for the victory. Jonathan Davenport finished fourth and regained the championship points lead from Ricky Thornton, Jr., who failed to finish the race. Carson Ferguson rounded out the top five drivers. Alberson, who led 39 laps total, fell to third with 10 laps remaining but rallied using the top side of the race track to go from third to first in the final five laps of the race. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the first time since winning at Port Royal in August of 2024, Alberson came home with the win in dramatic fashion, "That was a crazy race right there. You know, we went hard on tires, and on some of those restarts, the track kept hacking. At first, I thought it was going to go our way, and then later I started skating around a little bit, and it was a little dirty here and there. It was like that last run we actually cleaned it up on the top and got that right rear going, and we just never quit," said Alberson, who currently sits fifth in the championship points. "I could get in there in the bottom with Hud, but I couldn't really leave out of there quite as nice as I needed to carry my speed, so I just got up there where I tried to get my right rear hot and try to get my momentum back up. At first, I didn't really feel like I was getting anywhere, it was kind of a treacherous feeling, but then after a couple of laps, I just started to make up some ground, and it just worked out right." O'Neal, who won the last series race at Muskingum County on July 5, came from 11th to claim the runner-up spot. "We raced all over this thing, from wall-to-wall and uke tire to uke tire. Man, 34 put on a show tonight. I really feel like I had something there. I was rolling on Brandon (Overton) and he went down there to protect and he kind of just shut it down on that bottom. Then I heard a motor firing up there outside of me and I thought oh no and then we got to the center of the corner, and I saw the white nose and I figured it was Garrett. He (Alberson) made a great move he just kind of took advantage of Brandon trying to protect a little bit and he was able to make the winning move." Overton, who led 11 laps, rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "I zigged when I should have zagged, I guess. Hats off to the race track, man that was an awesome race. You could go wherever you wanted to. I seen Hudson and I'm like man just get down and kind of block him and run back to the top and as soon as I moved down, I stalled out and I saw Garrett come around me. I didn't know he was still there. It is what it is. We have been struggling, but we're all working together, tonight I feel like was a big step. I am always on Burroughs, and I'm doing this and doing that; we are still learning each other. It has taken us a lot longer than we wanted to, but that's alright, we are just going to keep working."

- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Looney eager for return at CMH Diamond Nationals
WHEATLAND, MO. (July 9, 2025) - One of southwest Missouri's most-popular drivers - and one of only two home-state Show-Me 100 winners in the event's history - makes a return in front of the local fans this weekend. It's in a big-time doubleheader, to boot. Payton Looney of Republic, who's competed sparingly since 2021 due to work and family commitments, will take on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series heavyweights during the two-night, 19th annual CMH Diamond Nationals Presented by Wieland at Lucas Oil Speedway. Looney has been named to drive a Capital Race Cars Late Model owned by Jefferson City's Tucker Cox, a regular in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model division in the Pitts Homes and Realty Weekly Racing Series. Cox, a long-time friend, has equipped the car with a Super Late Model motor. "Tucker reached out to me a couple of months ago and said he was getting a super motor and asked if I'd be interested in driving it the first couple of nights," said Looney, who raced against Tucker Cox's dad, Chris, early in his racing career. "I said yeah and it all kind of worked out. We kind of planned it a couple of weeks back, so we're just gonna see what we can do Friday and Saturday." Tucker Cox, with one of his three wins this season at Lucas Oil Speedway, said the two originally talked about putting Looney in the car for the Show-Me 100 in late May "and just didn't have enough time to get it all together with my work and everything." Cox said Looney will drive the Capital that Cox drove last season in a handful of open events. Looney drove a Capital to the landmark 2020 Show-Me 100 win when he joined Springfield's Terry Phillips as the only Missourians to win that crown-jewel race. Looney, 30, lost a hard-fought battle for the Lucas Oil MLRA championship that season. He cut back on his racing the next season to commit more time to wife Emilee and their two children - son Baylor (7) daughter Elliott (5) are involved in multiple sports. With a busy job as an estimator for one of the area's largest roofing companies, Looney has been extra busy the last couple of months after widespread damage in the Springfield area from a pair of strong storms. Highlights since the Show-Me 100 victory include an MLRA feature win at the 2022 Spring Nationals in Wheatland. He wound up 31st in the 2021 Show-Me 100, ran a solid eighth in 2022, was 29th in 2023 and did not qualify n 2024 when felled by mechanical issues. This year, for the first time since 2017, he didn't enter the Show-Me 100 and has entered only one event, running 14th in March Madness at Springfield Raceway. "It sucked," Looney said of sitting out the 2025 Show-Me 100. "I went Saturday and watched. We took my brothers and a couple of buddies and had a good time, but it's definitely not nearly as cool watching it as racing it, for sure." Looney still had an impact on the outcome. Bobby Pierce found him in the pits and quizzed him about the Lucas Oil Speedway oval. Pierce wound up winning his second Show-Me 100 that night. "They were struggling a little bit," Looney said, shrugging off any role he had in Pierce's win. "Wheatland is a little different. A lot of stuff that works at other places doesn't work at Wheatland. You've got to kind of go reverse there. I'd been chit-chatting with them and they asked for my opinion. We talked back and forth about an hour or so before the races and it all worked out for them." Now Looney hopes things might work out for him, albeit in a different car than his usual yellow and white No. 15. "My expectations are to try and make the race both nights," he said. "I haven't ran in a while and my goal would be to make the races both nights and see where that takes us." Action is set for Friday and Saturday with winners of the Late Model features collecting $15,000 on Friday and $25,000 on Saturday. A red-hot championship battle between Ricky Thornton Jr. and Jonathan Davenport continues as Thornton holds a 20-point lead. Davenport looks to close in at one of his favorite tracks. The 2024 Show-Me 100 winner is a four-time Diamond Nationals champ with eight feature wins at Lucas Oil Speedway since the spring of 2023. He finished second at the 2025 Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism. More than $145,000 in purse money will be up for grabs at the Diamond Nationals, which was canceled last year due to rain. Friday's feature payout: 1. $15,000, 2. $7,000, 3. $5,000, 4. $4,000, 5. $3,000, 6. $2,500, 7. $2,400, 8. $2,300, 9. $2,200, 10. $2,100, 11. $2,000, 12. $1,800, 13. $1,600, 14. $1,500, 15. $1,400, 16. $1,300, 17. $1,200, 18. $1,100, 19. $1,000, 20. $1,000, 21. $1,000, 22. $1,000, 23. $1,000, 24. $1,000.

WHEATLAND, MO. (July 7, 2025) - The stars of Dirt Late Model racing return to Lucas Oil Speedway this week for the 19th annual CMH Diamond Nationals Presented by Wieland and the mid-summer Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event has been expanded to two nights. Action is set for Friday and Saturday with winners of the Late Model features collecting $15,000 on Friday and $25,000 on Saturday. A red-hot championship battle between Ricky Thornton Jr. and Jonathan Davenport continues as Thonton holds a 20-point lead. Davenport looks to close in at one of his favorite tracks. The 2024 Show-Me 100 winner is a four-time Diamond Nationals champ with eight feature wins at Lucas Oil Speedway since the spring of 2023. He finished second at the 2025 Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism. Devin Moran and Hudson O'Neal are third and fourth in points, 260 and 320 points behind Thornton. O'Neal is a driver to watch at winning both nights of the Spring Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway on April 11-12 and sweeping the preliminary features for the Show-Me 100 May 22-23 before finishing third in the Show-Me. O'Neal is coming off a LOLMDS feature win on Saturday at Muskingum County Speedway in Ohio. Along with the star-studded field of series regulars, a strong contingent of regional and local drivers will be on hand. Included is Payton Looney of Republic, the 2020 Show-Me 100 winner who's had a limited schedule in recent years.
