  Long-time racing supporter Chris Davis named Forrest Lucas Lifetime Achievement Award winner at Lucas Oil Speedway banquet

  SPRINGFIELD, MO. (Dec. 1, 2023) - Lucas Oil Speedway paid tribute to the stars of its 2023 Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series season and honored one of the biggest contributors to dirt-track racing on Friday night at the annual Lucas Oil Speedway Championship Banquet. Chris Davis, the owner/operator of Midwest Sheet Metal located in Springfield, who has been a friend of the sport from the local, grassroots level to the national scene with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, received the Forrest Lucas Lifetime Achievement Award for contributions on and off the track. Announcement of the award came at the conclusion of the banquet, which was held at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds Center Hall in Springfield. The award is always a highlight of the banquet and this was no exception as Davis was stunned when he was announced as the award winner. "We're pleased to recognize Chris Davis as the seventh recipient of the Forrest Lucas Award for all Chris has done for the sport," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "He's a great friend of motorsports for all he has done, whether it's for the local racer who does it as a hobby or the best of the best on the highest level of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series." Davis has been around racing most of his life as his father, Bill, sponsored several drivers with his Trux Trailers business. Chris' long-time friend Scott Bass began racing in 1988 and Chris soon followed, started his racing career in on the dirt and pavement in a Street Stock running at Bolivar, Lebanon and Monett. He won races on both surfaces, in the same car. In 1990 Chris built a Late Model and competed on the asphalt at Bolivar Speedway USA and Lebanon I-44 Speedway. In the early 1990s, Chris met future wife Jan and they were married in 1994 and purchased Midwest Sheet Metal from Jan's father, Dave. Devoting himself to the business and raising a family, Chris retired from driving a race car in 1995. But his connection to the sport was far from over. He began building custom race-car parts for local racers. During a trip to the Chili Bowl in Tulsa, Chris met racer Jimmy Owens that started a long-time friendship with the driver who would go on to become one of the top names in Late Model racing. That friendship led to Chris meeting the top drivers on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, where he's known as a friend to all on the circuit. Chris and Jan Davis also have sponsored the Midwest Sheet Metal Challenge since 2013. The event is one of the most-exciting of Show-Me 100 weekend in giving drivers a last shot at qualifying for the Show-Me 100 main event while also providing some cash for the non-qualifiers. "I'm rarely a loss for words," Davis said. "This is huge. This is Forrest Lucas and he's a good friend of mine and, gosh, I don't know. This means so much. There are so many people I forgot to thank when I was up there (on stage). The Lucas family, everyone at the speedway and so many others. "Behind every person who is a success is a hidden hero and mine is my wife, Jan," Davis added. "I love her to death." Davis said he takes pride in helping out racers, no matter what class they compete in. "The Street Stock guys, the Hobby Stock Guys, Go-Kart guys ... they're all customers and friends," Davis said. "If one says, 'hey, I can't get this car to turn' then I will usually try to help them get the car to turn. My wife says I'm a natural at getting things to work and people appreciate that, or at least some do. The ones that do appreciate it, you've made a friend for life." Meanwhile, Weekly Racing Series track champions Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber Late Model), Ryan Middaugh (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky Modifieds), Bobby Williams (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Mason Beck (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars) received their awards. The Most Popular Driver Award for track regular competitors, determined through online fan voting, went to Mitchell Franklin from the USRA B-Mod division. Franklin, from Camdenton, drives the F1 car and picked up his first Lucas Oil Speedway feature win during the 2023 season to earn one of the biggest ovations of the season. Track photographers Greg and Stacy Stanek of GS Stanek Racing Photography expanded the Best Appearing Race Car Award to one winner in each division. Those winners were Tucker Cox (Hermitage Lumber Late Models), Greg Scheffler (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky Modifieds), JC Newell (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Waylon Dimmitt (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). "Congratulations to all our award winners after another great season and we look forward to seeing everyone again in 2024," Lorton said.

  Hudson O'Neal On Top After Thrilling End to Chase for the Championship

  BATAVIA, Ohio (November 27, 2023) - Hudson O'Neal earned his first-career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Championship after a thrilling end to decide the title in the Big River Steel Chase for the Championship - Presented by ARP. The industry record $200,000 for winning the point championship title went to O'Neal after he slipped past Devin Moran in turn four on the final circuit of the 100-lap finale at Eldora Speedway. O'Neal earned the Championship title based on his second-place finish in the season finale, the highest finishing driver among the Big River Steel Big Four. Moran finished third, while Ricky Thornton Jr finished eighth and Jonathan Davenport finished tenth in the final run down at Eldora Speedway. O'Neal becomes the youngest driver to etch his name in Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series history and only the eighth different driver to win the prestigious title since 2005. O'Neal ended his 2023 campaign with six victories, 32 top five finishes, and 44 top ten performances. That consistency kept the 23-year-old inside the Big River Steel Big Four all season long. "As far as the race went, I don't think it could've got any better for the championship," O'Neal acknowledged after capturing the title that his father, Don, won in 2014. "You know, you hate to see that Ricky had bad luck early in the race and J.D. break like he did. But at the end of the day, we were all on the same racetrack and it's just part of it I guess — bittersweet sometimes." "You think about the way it all went down, two of them broke, and the race was pretty good for the championship. We'll take it, and it doesn't make it any less important to me. We still won the championship. We proved all year that we had a good car, and we were just able to take advantage of it in the last race of the year." O'Neal was humbled following the ultra-successful season of his young career where his Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series earnings alone crossed the half-million-dollar threshold. "Man, I'm so fortunate," O'Neal said. "Anybody who can do what they love for a living and be successful at it is a blessed person, a blessed man, and I'm for sure blessed. If it weren't for my family and everybody that's here — Mark Richards, Steve Baker — for believing in me, and everybody that came before Mark and Steve (like former car owner) Todd Burns, Craig Sims, Roger Sellers, MasterSbilt Race Cars, if it weren't for each and every one of them, I wouldn't be standing where I am today. Every one of them played a role in my upbringing today to be able to win a Lucas Oil championship. Moran's late season success earned him the final spot in the Big River Steel Big Four after narrowly edging out Tim McCreadie and Brandon Overton in the final bonus round at Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway. He ultimately finished second in the point standings in 2023, a career best on the tour for the Dresden, Ohio driver. Ricky Thornton Jr. finished third in the final championship standings, followed by Jonathan Davenport and Tim McCreadie rounding out the top five. The top five drivers in the final standings each earned more than $300,000 in total earnings in 2023 with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series - another record in the dirt late model industry. 2023 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Point Fund: 1. $200,000, 2. $150,000, 3. $125,000, 4. $100,000, 5. $75,000, 6. $60,000, 7. $50,000, 8. $45,000, 9. $40,000, 10. $35,000, 11. $30,000, 12. $25,000, 13. $20,000, 14. $15,000 For the latest news, results, championship standings and more about the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, please visit www.lucasdirt.com.

  Inaugural High Limit Racing Diamond Classic headlines Lucas Oil Speedway 2024 tentative schedule

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Nov. 20, 2023) - Lucas Oil Speedway has unveiled its 2024 tentative schedule and, along with traditional major events, the speedway will welcome the acclaimed High Limit Racing series for sprint cars. The Inaugural High Limit Racing Diamond Classic is scheduled for June 28-29 with many of the best in open-wheel sprint-car racing expected to compete. High Limit Racing, founded and owned by NASCAR champion Kyle Larson and five-time World of Outlaws champion Brad Sweet, is expanding in 2024. The formerly named High Limit Sprint Car Series is adding events and increasing driver payouts while broadening its partnership with FloSports. The mid-week race series will evolve into a 50-plus race night schedule across the country and increase driver payouts to more than $5 million. Lucas Oil Speedway will be a part of the weekend schedule for High Limit Racing. High Limit Racing will award a point fund of $1 million with the champion team and driver winning $250,000. Similar to its 2023 season, High Limit Racing will have a Midweek Money Series within the national tour awarding a separate $100,000 total point fund. "We are excited to be a part of High Limit Racing in 2024 as part of our tentative schedule, which includes our usual mainstay events such as the Show-Me 100, Hockett-McMillin Memorial and Kentucky Drag Boat Association events on Lake Lucas," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "High Limit Racing is an opportunity to bring even more world-class racing to our fans and we thank Brad Sweet, Kyle Larson and their series for working with us to make it happen." Sweet will compete in every event and pursue his first High Limit Racing championship with the Kasey Kahne Racing NAPA No. 49 team. Larson, crowned the midweek series champion earlier this month, will continue to compete in select events while also pursuing a NASCAR Cup Series championship and an Indianapolis 500 victory in 2024. Other highlights among many special events at Lucas Oil Speedway include the 32nd annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 during Memorial Day Weekend (May 23-25) and the 18th annual CMH Diamond Nationals (July 13), both featuring the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series.

The track opens with an Open Test & Tune on March 30 and the Easter Bowl Enduro 150 is set for April 6. The Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series opener is scheduled for April 20. Lorton also has announced that the speedway will sanction Hermitage Lumber Late Models under POWRi for 2024. The Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models will compete in the Weekly Series along with the Arctic Food Equipment Modifieds, Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars. "I've had talks with Kenny Brown (POWRi President) and to help grow the weekly Late Model class and give drivers a national points fund, we have agreed to sanction the Late Models under POWRi," Lorton said. "POWRi will be using the 2024 speedway rules package for the Late Model sanctioning class, which will be known as POWRi Late Models." Drag Boat racing on Lake Lucas, featuring the Kentucky Drag Boat Association, has three events set: the KDBA Summer Thunder on Lake Lucas (June 8-9), KDBA Show-Me Shootout on Lake Lucas (Aug. 2-3) and 14th annual Diamond Drag Boat Nationals (Aug. 30-Sept. 1). One of the biggest Weekly Racing Series events on the schedule, the annual Casey's Thursday Night Thunder Kids' Night at the Races Plus Fireworks is set for Thursday, July 4th.

  Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt returns to Lucas Oil Speedway next fall, along with MLRA Fall Nationals

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Nov. 10, 2023) - One of the biggest events in the nation for Super Stocks is returning to the Lucas Oil Speedway schedule in 2024 with the 8th annual Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt set for next Oct. 3-5. The Lucas Oil MLRA Fall Nationals also return to the schedule and will be run in conjunction with the Big Buck 50, making it a lucrative, action-packed weekend of Late Model and Super Stock racing at the same location. Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said he has been fielding inquiries about Super Stocks returning, possibly as a guest class a few times next season. A meeting with Craig Danuser, the race's former sponsor, led to bigger things. "I reached out to Craig, who was the main sponsor of the Big Buck 50 and was involved in the making of the original event," Lorton said. "He seemed very interested as we talked, so we set up a meeting and after the meeting I could see he was very excited in returning and bringing back the Big Buck 50." The eighth version of the Big Buck 50 event will be run using POWRi Super Stock rules and Lorton said officials will also work on the rules to allow the Arkansas cars that used to run the Big Buck 50. More details on rules and entry fees will come at a later date. The Big Buck 50 will begin with practice and qualifying on Thursday night Oct. 3, qualifying heat races to help set the feature field on Friday leading into Saturday night's 50-lap main event, in which the winner will take home $10,000. The winner also will earn a free entry, valued at $3,195.00, into the prestigious Whitetail Trophy Hunt in mid-Missouri next November. For more information on the Whitetail Trophy Hunt, visit Whitetail.net. This year's hunt begins this weekend and it's the 35th edition for the long-sold-out event, which is limited to 220 hunters. Over $4 million in cash and prizes has been awarded in the hunt's history. The Big Buck 50 was held on an annual basis at Lucas Oil Speedway through 2020 and was a one of the highlights on the schedule. Danuser said he's thrilled to help bring back the Big Buck 50. "I'm excited about it and I know a lot of racers are excited about it," Danuser said. "They've been burning my phone up about it." Danuser said the Big Buck 50 had become a destination weekend for the Super Stocks in its previous runnings, with racers and many fans spending the weekend at Lucas Oil Speedway in the campgrounds. That should get nothing but even bigger with the MLRA Late Models also a part of the action. "So many people started making that their vacation, bringing the wives and kids because it was a three-day event," Danuser said. "I think they really looked forward to it in the five or six years we had built the race up." Meanwhile, the Lucas Oil MLRA Fall Nationals also return to the schedule with a big two-night show paying $5,000 to win the Friday-night feature and $10,000 on Saturday. "I know that Ernie Leftwich (MLRA Series Director) was very excited to bring back the Fall Nationals and tie it back in with the Big Buck 50 as they were both on the same weekend for several years," Lorton said. "It only seemed fitting to bring them both back together." Lorton said the tentative 2024 Lucas Oil Speedway schedule is nearing completion and will be released in the near future.

  Twelve memorable moments from 2023 Lucas Oil Speedway season

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Nov. 3, 2023) - With the final checkered flag having waved on the 2023 Lucas Oil Speedway season, it's time for our annual review of the "Diamond Dozen," a top 12 moments of the season. The list is compiled by Lucas Oil Speedway public relations director Lyndal Scranton with an assist from track announcer Shane Friebe. 1 - Huge crowd, big names, thrilling finish: One of the biggest motorsports events in southwest Missouri history lived up to its billing as a familiar face visit victory lane as the Camping World SRX Series came to Wheatland on Aug. 17. Jonathan Davenport, putting on a display worthy of his nickname of "Superman," led all 90 laps to capture the SRX Thursday Night Thunder season finale in front of 8,710 roaring fans and countless others watching on ESPN. Davenport, one of the world's premier Dirt Late Model drivers, won for the fifth time at Lucas Oil Speedway in 2023 adding to four Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series/Lucas Oil MLRA wins. The Blairsville, Georgia, native emerged from a thrilling battle with Clint Bowyer after a restart with 10 laps remaining that had the big crowd on its feet. Brad Keselowski rallied from 10th to finish second with Ken Schrader third and Ryan Newman, the 2023 Camping World SRX champion, taking fourth. "I'm speechless. This is awesome," said Davenport, a five-time World 100 winner and three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champion. "I was just out there pacing myself, trying to keep the edges on the tires and do dirt-guys stuff." 2 - Wild and Wacky Show-Me 100 to Moran: The 31st annual Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism had a little bit of everything as it was wild and crazy, rough and tumble and had post-race controversy. Devin Moran, second under the checkers, was declared the victor when apparent race-winner Ricky Thornton Jr. was penalized four positions in post-race inspection. "What the hell?" Moran asked in victory lane after claiming the $50,000 first prize. "This is like the best, worst win of my life. I just won the frickin' Show-Me 100 and $50,000, but Ricky was the best car in the field." Moran, 28 of Dresden, Ohio, claimed the win after he finished just under one second behind Thornton. But a few moments later, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series officials announced that Thornton's car was in violation of the "droop rule" regarding the height of the rear deck. Tim McCreadie wound up officially in second with Spencer Hughes third, defending champion Chris Ferguson fourth and Thornton eventually penalized to fifth place. Local favorite 19-year-old Dillon McCowan of Urbana was sixth. Thornton, of Martinsville, Ind., led the final 43 laps in a race that turned into survival of the fittest with 13 caution flags and a track that had plenty of character - especially over the final half of the event. Asked how long it was going to take for it to set in that he was a Show-Me 100 champion, Moran shook his head. "I have no idea," Moran said. "There might be an asterisk by it, but it's gonna pay 50 grand one way or the other, so we're gonna take it. And we're gonna drink some beer tonight." 3 - Cox's challenging season capped by Fall Brawl win: What had been a challenging season for Tucker Cox at Lucas Oil Speedway, including a massive crash that sidelined him for nearly two months, ended with his biggest triumph in the late-September Inaugural Fall Brawl. The Jefferson City driver, who broke his foot in a hard crash in mid-April, took control late in a wild State Tech Hermitage Lumber Late Model Fall Brawl to walk away with the $4,000 winner's check. The rare daytime event, moved up in anticipation of evening rain, turned out to be a memorable one with Cox scoring an emotional win in his new Capital Race Car. Cox was running fourth or fifth most of the race, but pounced when misfortune found frontrunners Justin Wells and Johnny Fennewald in a wild last 10 laps. Cox took the lead on lap 34, lost it to Tommy Cordray on lap 36 and regained it the next time around in the 40-lap main event. "I was just trying to be patient," Cox said. "I had to calm it down. I was getting a little too anxious there the first 15 or 20 laps. "I apologize to Cordray, for getting into him, but I wanted to win really bad. We were going for four grand, so rubbin's racin." 4 - Morton doubles up before fireworks at Thursday Night Thunder: Lucas Oil Speedway's annual Casey's Thursday Night Thunder to kick off 4th of July weekend was extra memorable for JC Morton as the Springfield driver had a career night. Moments after winning the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature, Morton captured his first Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature victory. While he's won countless times in his B-Mod over the years, the Late Model win was specia. He was driving the car for Moon Brothers Racing out of Sedalia. Morton held off veteran Justin Wells, the Lucas Oil Speedway runaway Late Model points leader, for the win. "We've been really close," Morton said of the Late Model. "We've had a bunch of seconds. I keep giving Justin a hard time to just let me win, but finally it all came together." 5 - Thornton scores MLRA Spring Nationals win: Showing signs of a year for the ages was ahead, Ricky Thornton Jr. got to the lead early and there was no stopping him as a star-studded field of drivers took part in Night 1 of the 10th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Spring Nationals Presented by Arizona Sport Shirts. Thornton earned $5,000 for his second career MLRA victory, dominating a field of 48 Late Models that checked into the pits for the opener of the weekend. Thornton went on to dominate the regular season on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and win 36 features overall. "We were really good there," Thornton said after the Spring Nationals victory, which attracted a large and deep field as national-touring series events scheduled for this weekend were rained out. "We practiced really good yesterday and I was super comfortable. It was a good night." 6 - Popular win for a USRA Modified veteran: A late-July Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series event was highlighted by a popular win for veteran Terry Kirk after his victory in the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature. "You bet, I did hear those," Kirk said of the cheers in victory lane. "I was surprised, but you know, I've been around forever. I've run a lot of races over there at Wheatland. I won a lot of races back before it was Lucas Oil and before it had a wall around it." Back in the days of Wheatland Raceway, Kirk raced there and all over the place and won his share of races. The last few years, he's slowed to a part-time schedule with more focus on helping his son, Colson Kirk, campaign a USRA B-mod. Kirk joked that he can't remember the last time he won a feature at Lucas Oil Speedway just saying it's been "a long, long time." The Urbana resident was in vintage form, leading all 20 years for the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified victory as he outdistanced season points leader Ryan Middaugh. 7 - Sanders breaks Ramirez's Show-Me Shootout dominance: One of the most-successful drivers in United States Modified Touring Series history put an end to Dereck Ramirez's domination at Lucas Oil Speedway. Rodney Sanders, of Happy, Texas, led all 50 laps to hold off Ramirez in 14th annual USMTS Summit Show-Me Shootout Presented by Foley Equipment. Ramirez had won the early August race the three previous seasons, but Sanders kept him from making it four in a row and took home the $10,000 payday. He also expanded his season points lead in a bid to make it five USMTS championships. "Dereck is super good here," Sanders said. "He's been really getting himself going lately and I knew he would be hard to beat." 8 - Fastest lap in speedway history, then a feature victory: Garet Williamson went from the fastest driver to ever record a qualifying lap at Lucas Oil Speedway to the 25-lap POWRi 410 Outlaw Bandit Sprint Series feature winner on Aug. 19. The Columbia, Mo., driver set a track record in qualifying with a lap of 12.998 seconds. The lap eclipsed the record of 13.019 by Jason Meyers in a World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series race at the speedway in 2010. That earned Williamson the pole and he went on to lead the main event wire-to-wire and take home $5,000. It was the first-ever POWRi 410 Sprint Series appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway and Williamson made it memorable. "This means everything to me. It feels really good to win this close to home," Williamson said. "This is pretty neat." 9 - Beck masters art of last-lap pass: Mason Beck of Urbana led only one lap, but it was the most important one. Beck overtook race-long-leader William Garner on the final circuit on June 24 to claim the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature. It was one of three last-lap passes Beck would pull off for wins during the season. Beck, who started eighth, battled his way through the field and into contention midway through the race. A four-way for second saw Beck emerge and begin his chase of Garner. Beck was on the leader's back bumper by lap 13 with Johnny Fennewald about five car lengths behind in third. Beck went to the high side coming to the white flag and pulled slightly ahead of Garner coming out of turn two. He then won a drag race coming off turn four to the checkers to score his third feature win of the season. "That was the most-exciting race I've ever been a part of," Beck said. "From fifth on - me, Waylon (Dimmitt), (James) McMillin, Fennewald - it was hard-fought and clean racing all the way to the checkered flag." 10 - What an opener as Stacye wins a thriller: In the Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series opener on March 25, Cayden Stacye of Fair Grove pulled off a last-lap pass of Bobby Williams of nearby Hermitage to pick up the feature victory in the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods. Stacye drove past Williams on the inside of the final turn of the final lap and held on by a car length for his first Lucas Oil Speedway feature win. "I wasn't sure if we were going to be able to get it done, with (Williams) on the pole there those last two laps," Stacye said. "I just knew that I had to get a good jump and we just kind of went from there. I just drove it hard and ended up on top." 11 - Young Timms rolls to Hockett-McMillin win: Youth was served as 17-year-old Ryan Timms led all but the first lap while capturing the 13th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial ASCS Winged Sprint feature during the prestigious open-wheel event delayed a night by mid-September rain. The Oklahoma City driver picked up $10,000 for the American Sprint Car Series victory after taking command on lap two and never looking back, holding off runner-up Jason Martin. In the POWRi WAR Sprint main event, 25-year-old Ricky Lewis of Camarillo, Calif., outdueled Xavier Doney in the late stages to earn the $4,077 first prize. 12 - Williams wins race within the race on championship night: There was drama at the front and drama further back in the field in the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod main event on Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night in late August. Kris Jackson picked up the victory with a last-lap pass, but Bobby Williams celebrated the championship with what was probably the best 10th-place run of his career. The Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod division was the only undecided class entering championship night and the race within the race for the points crown was just as fun as the battle for the race victory. Williams, of Hermitage, claimed championship No. 1 after not winning a feature all season. But he was a mark of consistency, with eight top-five finishes and 14 top-10s. He beat JC Morton by a mere five points in the title chase. "This season we've faced a lot of adversity at this track. It's been a love-hate relationship for us here," Williams said, adding that the championship was special for reasons other than himself. "I wanted this for my niece. She has heart surgery here in a few weeks, so we're glad to do that for her." Other season champions were Mason Beck (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars), Ryan Middaugh Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds) and Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber Late Models).

  Lucas Oil MLRA Season Finale at Lucas Oil Speedway canceled due to forecast of rain, cool weather

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 27, 2023) - With an unwavering forecast of persistent rain and cool temperatures on Saturday night, the Lucas Oil MLRA Season Finale racing program at Lucas Oil Speedway has been canceled. POWRi Super Stocks and USRA Modifieds also had been scheduled to compete. "We waited throughout the week, hoping that the weather system and forecast would change course, but it's apparent that is not going to be the case," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "Because so many of the drivers and fans were going to travel a significant distance to race with us, we wanted to make the call far enough ahead of time to save them travel."

  McCowan eager to celebrate top rookie honors in MLRA Season Finale on home track of Wheatland

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 25, 2023) - It seems fitting for Dillon McCowan that the Lucas Oil MLRA's final race of the season, following a schedule adjustment, will be at his home track of Lucas Oil Speedway. McCowan has clinched Sunoco Lucas Oil MLRA Rookie of the Year honors after a stellar first full season in an open Late Model. He's third overall in points, behind Chad Simpson and Chris Simpson and set to receive recognition as top rookie at Saturday's scheduled MLRA Season Finale. Lucas Oil Speedway and the MLRA added the $10,000-to-win event after the MLRA Season Championship weekend was rained out earlier this month at Tri-City Speedway. "When I saw that, I was pretty happy," the 19-year-old McCowan, of nearby Urbana said of the added race at Wheatland. "We've been kind of trying to figure where we're gonna try to race at the end of the year and when they said that race was gonna be at Lucas, I was happy to get back over there in front of all the fans and my family can come over there. "To get to crawl up on the stage, if we can win this rookie deal, that can be really cool for us." McCowan has some momentum on his side coming into the one-day show after picking up his first career Late Model touring series feature win. That came last weekend on the Comp Cams Series at Super Bee Speedway in Chatham, Louisiana. "That was definitely a fun race. There was some stiff competition down with Tyler Stevens, Billy Moyer and Billy Moyer Jr., and quite a few other good drivers and teams," McCowan said. "We started back in sixth and were able to rally to the front and just maintained once we got into the lead and hold on for 40 laps. "That track is super fun. We had only raced there once before and that was in a Modified. I was excited to get back down there and give it a run." McCowan said the first touring-series win checked off a goal he hoped to accomplish before the conclusion of the season. "It didn't really matter what series it was with," he said. "To do it with Comp Cams and beat the guys that were there, and to achieve one of my goals, it was definitely a big accomplishment for me and my team. We were pretty stoked about it." This weekend, he will realize another goal with the top rookie honors on the MLRA circuit. He called his first full Late Model season everything he expected, and then some, with a sixth-place run in the Show-Me 100 back in May as one of the top moments of his career. "I wouldn't trade it for the world. It's what I've always wanted to do and what I've dreamed off since I was a little kid," he said of driving the Late Model against top competition. "I've definitely learned a lot from the guys I've raced with. It's been a big learning experience for me and hopefully we can take this momentum into next year." Plans for 2024 are not finalized. He said following the Lucas Oil MLRA is an option, along with hitting select races on different series including the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. But for now, the focus is on completing the current season on a high note - and hoping Mother Nature cooperates and Saturday's race is able to go on. Chad Simpson and Chris Simpson will enter the Wheatland race as the top two drivers in the series standings with Chad leading his brother by 270 points. McCowan is in third with Daniel Hilsabeck and Trevor Gundaker fourth and fifth with Justin Duty, Jeff Herzog, Garrett Alberson, Tyler Stevens and Dustin Hodges rounding out the top 10. POWRi Super Stocks and USRA Modifieds also are on the schedule for Saturday and another sponsor has stepped up to support the Super Stock class. James Ray with Ray's Lake Service has donated $500 for Hard Charger award and is adding $50 to 2nd-11th place positions in the Super Stock Feature payout. It was previously announced that Whitetail Trophy Hunt will sponsor the POWRi Super Stocks portion and the feature winner will earn $2,000, courtesy of Craig Danuser with Whitetail Trophy Hunt. Nitro Nick Motorsports also has added money to Super Stock positions 18th, 20th, 22nd and 24th. The Super Stock payout will be: 1st - $2,000. 2nd - $850. 3rd - $750. 4th - $650. 5th - $500. 6th - $350. 7th - $300. 8th - $250. 9th - $225. 10th - $200. 11th - $180. 12th - $120. 13th - $110. 14th-17th - $100. 18th - $150. 19th - $100. 20th - $150. 21st - $100. 22nd - $150. 23rd - $100. 24th - $150. Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton also has announced that David Hendrix, owner of Hendrix Construction, will sponsor the fast time qualifier for the Super Stocks. The driver to set fast time in qualifying will receive $500 for Fast Time Qualifier thanks to Hendrix Construction. Hickamo Country Store owner Chip Shaddox is helping sponsor the USRA Modified class and it will now race for $2,000 to win and $100 has been added to finishers two through 11. The Modified payout: 1st - $2,000. 2nd - $900. 3rd - $800. 4th - $700. 5th - $550. 6th - $400. 7th - $350. 8th - $300. 9th - $275. 10th - $250. 11th - $230. 12th - $120. 13th - $110. 14th-through-24th - $100.

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 23, 2023) - Since Lucas Oil Speedway added a big finish to its season headlined by the Lucas Oil MLRA, extra money has been added to support divisions for this Saturday night's program. The MLRA Season Finale for the Late Models has $10,000 awaiting the winner and $700 to start the main event. The Season Finale was added to the schedule after the series' Championship Weekend was rained out at Tri-City Speedway. Added money also will be awarded in the support classes. Hickamo Country Store owner Chip Shaddox is helping sponsor the USRA Modified class and it will now race for $2,000 to win and $100 has been added to finishers two through 11. The Modified payout now will be: 1st - $2,000. 2nd - $900. 3rd - $800. 4th - $700. 5th - $550. 6th - $400. 7th - $350. 8th - $300. 9th - $275. 10th - $250. 11th - $230. 12th - $120. 13th - $110. 14th-through-24th - $100. Meanwhile, it was previously announced that Whitetail Trophy Hunt will sponsor the POWRi Super Stocks portion and the feature winner will earn $2,000, courtesy of Craig Danuser with Whitetail Trophy Hunt. Nitro Nick Motorsports also has added money to Super Stock positions 18th, 20th, 22nd and 24th. The Super Stock payout will be: 1st - $2,000. 2nd - $800. 3rd - $700. 4th - $600. 5th - $450. 6th - $300. 7th - $250. 8th - $200. 9th - $175. 10th - $150. 11th - $130. 12th - $120. 13th - $110. 14th-17th- $100. 18th - $150. 19th - $100. 20th - $150. 21st - $100. 22nd - $150. 23rd - $100. 24th - $150. Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton also has announced that David Hendrix, owner of Hendrix Construction, will sponsor the fast time qualifier for the Super Stocks. The driver to set fast time in qualifying will receive $500 for Fast Time Qualifier thanks to Hendrix Construction. "We appreciate everyone who has stepped up to add to the prize fund for the Super Stocks and Modifieds," Lorton said. "This is shaping up to be a great way to conclude the season, with great fields in each of our divisions." Both support classes will use time trials for heat-race starting positions just like the MLRA Late Models will do. With previously scheduled events already filling up the October calendar at Tri-City, officials concluded that a make-up weekend at the home of the MLRA Championship would not be possible. So the MLRA finale now becomes a one-day event with the season champion crowned. It also will mark the final opportunity of 2023 for drivers to accumulate MLRA points toward the series championship, Sunoco Rookie of the Year, as well as the season-long contingency awards, some of which are still up for grabs. Chad Simpson and Chris Simpson will enter the Wheatland race as the top two drivers in the series standings with Chad leading his brother by 270 points. Sunoco Rookie of the Year candidate Dillon McCowan is in third. Daniel Hilsabeck and Trevor Gundaker are fourth and fifth with Justin Duty, Jeff Herzog, Garrett Alberson, Tyler Stevens and Dustin Hodges rounding out the top 10. Pit gates will open at 3 p.m. with grandstands at 4, hot laps at 5:30 and racing at 6:05.

  Sheppard Wins Fifth DTWC; O'Neal Secures First Career Lucas Oil Title

  NEW WESTON, Ohio (October 22, 2023) - Brandon Sheppard won his record-tying fifth General Tire Dirt Track World Championship - Presented by ARP on Sunday night at Eldora Speedway. Sheppard tied with Freddy Smith for the most wins in the 43-year history of the race as the Illinois racer earned $100,000 for his victory. Sheppard who had just enough fuel to coast across the finish line barely edged out Hudson O'Neal for the win in a race that saw a record eight lead changes. The previous high for lead changes was the inaugural Dirt Track World Championship in 1981 where five different drivers led the race. O'Neal with his runner-up finish claimed his first career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Seres National Championship which will earn him and his car owner Mark Richards a dirt late model record $200,000. O'Neal finished 0.084 seconds behind Sheppard at the finish. Devin Moran battled with O'Neal for several laps as the two went back and forth to decide the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series title. Moran came home in third in the final race rundown which clinched second place in the championship points. Tim McCreadie clinched fifth in the championship points by placing fourth in the Dirt Track World Championship. Dale McDowell rounded out the top five drivers in the 100-lap race. Jonathan Davenport jumped to the lead at the start and would lead the first six laps of the race. It was a close battle up front with Davenport and Mike Marlar, who led lap seven. O'Neal, who in his last appearance at Eldora won the World 100 in September, came from the sixth position to grab the lead on the eighth circuit. The car on the move was West Virginia's Tyler Carpenter, who roared from his 17th starting spot to pass O'Neal for the race lead on lap 24. Carpenter was in front until lap 32 when Brian Shirley would become the fifth different driver to lead the race. However, Shirley's lead was short lived as mechanical issues sent him pit side under caution ending his night. Carpenter, who was third at the time, also pitted during this time. McCreadie would pick up the lead for four laps before Bobby Pierce took command after being involved in an early race caution that also involved Ricky Thornton Jr. who suffered severe right front suspension damage which forced to pit side, loosing several laps in the process. Pierce would stay in front until lap 60 when Sheppard became the eighth and final leader of the race. A caution with 97 laps complete would show Sheppard in front with McCreadie holding down the second spot. On the final restart Sheppard would hold the lead, but his car started to show signs he was low on fuel. O'Neal and Moran were able to close on the final lap, but Sheppard was able to eke out the win. Sheppard, who led the final 40 laps for his 31st career win with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series was relieved to make it to the finish line. "I was able to make it to the line, Hudson almost got me there. That was a pretty crazy end to the night. When I crossed the line for the white flag I ran out of gas. I had just enough gas to make it to the line, every time I have driven this car it has been good all year. It was phenomenal. The first couple of laps I don't know what happened. I think we knocked the brake line loose on the left rear or something. I came in and the guys got it tightened up. I didn't have time to get the brakes bled. I went back out and the caution came back out, luckily really quick, and we were able to come in get it bled out. It was perfect after that." "I went pretty hard there at the beginning just to get some distance just in case the leaders would come around and I would get lapped," Sheppard added. "There about halfway I was running around the middle to the bottom, and I really felt pretty good there. Also, about midway through the race I found a line that worked pretty good for me through the middle in one and two. Once I saw some of those drivers dropping out, and we were picking a few of them off, I thought I was finally trying to wake up." O'Neal came up just short of his first Dirt Track World Championship victory, but secured his first Lucas Oil title. "This is unbelievable. It was a war of attrition. I had two flat tires, led at one point, was a lap down at one point, so I had every emotion I could think of that happened during that race. What a race it came down to with me and Devin. It was kind of rough and tumble out there, but the way it came out it made a great race for the championship and it about made it a great race for the win. I think somebody [Sheppard] ran out of fuel coming to the checkered or something. Hats off to my whole team and family. This sport will drive you crazy sometimes, it helps to have a good backdrop of people to rely on." O'Neal joins his father, Don who won the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series title in 2014. "I can't believe it turned out the way it did. Hats off to the Eldora track crew. They worked their tails off all weekend no matter what the racetrack was they couldn't help it; they did the best they could. It rained for three days straight they did a great job." Moran, earning his best career finish in the Dirt Track World Championship and in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series championship points, went back and forth with O'Neal in the final laps. "It was a great comeback year. We got off to a good start in Speedweeks and then we really struggled in the first month or two after that. That was about as exciting there at the end as it could get. I think everyone is going to talk about this for a very long time. Thanks to the whole Lucas Oil family for a great series to race with." The winner's Sheppard-Riggs Racing, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Valvoline, True Timber Camo, Dennis G. Woodworth Attorney at Law, Wyld Gear, Riggs Drilling Solutions, Sheppard Auto Sales and Salvage, D&E Marine, Sunoco Race Fuels, and Bilstein Shocks.

  Timm takes command late for Modified win at Summit USRA Nationals as Franklin, Cain, Hovden, Martin also prevail

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 7, 2023) - Patience and persistence paid off Saturday night for Jake Timm at the 10th annual Summit USRA Nationals. Timm of Winona, Minn., took command with 10 laps remaining and went on to claim the USRA Modified feature at Lucas Oil Speedway. Other USRA Nationals winners on the final of five nights of racing were Mitchell Franklin (B-Mods), Josh Cain (Stock Cars), Chris Hovden (Hobby Stocks) and Randy Martin (Tuners). Timm, who started eighth, stalked Brandon Davis from the second position for 12 laps before making the winning pass on lap 40 of the 50-lap main event. He pulled away from there, sticking tight to the low groove, to capture the $4,000 victory. Timm, a 26-year-old avid fan of the Minnesota Vikings, said staying calm and deliberate was a key from the drop of the green. "I really had to be patient there at the beginning of the race," Timm said. "I didn't really feel like we were all that great, to be honest. I kind of started slowing down more and more to stay on the bottom. I went slower to go faster, I guess. "Fortunately we had a few yellows there and that helped us out. But thanks to everybody that makes this possible for me." Timm was the fourth and final leader of the 50-lapper, which concluded the marathon week of racing that saw in excess of 240 cars in five divisions. Kevin Stoa took the lead on lap two after Tyler Davis paced the opening lap. Davis reclaimed the top spot on lap seven as Stoa slipped to third behind Brandon Davis. Brandon Davis captured the lead on the lap nine restart. He soon had a 1.6-second lead by lap 15 over Tyler Davis with Brandon Givens third and Terry Phillips moving into fourth and Timm fifth. As the race reached lap 30, Brandon Davis continued to hold the lead over Timm with Tyler Davis and Phillips following. Caution came out on lap 31 with Davis' margin at 1.3 seconds over Timm, who started eighth. On the restart, Phillips was caught up in a multi-car incident in turn two and damage to his car ended his chances. Timm dropped to the low groove on the next restart, pulling alongside Brandon Davis on the back stretch but was unable to make the pass. Those two opened a four-second gap over third-place Tyler Davis by lap 40 and that's when Timm's persistence finally paid off. Timm edged into the lead coming out of turn four and he gradually pulled away from there. He kept hugging the extreme low line and went on to win by 2.8 seconds over Brandon Davis. Gabe Hodges finished third with Tyler Davis fourth and and Rodney Sanders fifth. USRA B-Mod feature goes to Franklin: Mitchell Franklin of Camdenton was elevated to the USRA B-Mod feature victory when JC Morton, who crossed the finish line in front, was disqualified in post-race technical inspection. Franklin worked his way from a 20th starting position into contention by the halfway point before moving to the runner-up spot and making a late charge that came up just short of Morton at the checkers. But when Morton's car did not pass inspection, Franklin earned the $2,000 prize for the 35-lap main event. "I don't prefer to win them like this," Franklin said. "We had a chance to win it straight up, but I missed (turn) three and he got away from me. But we keep our stuff straight, by the book, so we'll take it. We can use all the dollars and all the wins we can get on these Franklin Motorsports cars. "My dad works day and night, late hours to get these things as fast as they are and I think this weekend proved just how fast they are." Mike Striegel started on the pole and set the early pace, with Cody King pressuring him before Striegel opened a four-car-length lead by lap six. By lap eight, Morton advanced into second with King third and Kris Jackson and Ryan Gillmore both had worked their way into the top five after starting 10th and 12th. Morton looked for a way around Striegel for several laps before finally doing so on lap 14 . Three laps later, Gillmore moved into the runner-up position, 2.1 seconds behind Morton. A caution flew on lap 23 as Morton led Gillmore by 1.4 seconds. Franklin went to third and Striegel was in fourth for the restart with a dozen laps remaining. Franklin gave chase after the restart and was within two car lengths of Morton with four laps left. Morton was able to ride the high groove to take it home and finish 1.1 seconds ahead of Franklin. As Franklin was declared the winner, Gillmore was credited with second with Shadren Turner third, Striegel fourth and Brandon Hare fifth. Cain hangs on in Stock Cars feature: Josh Cain of Rio Rancho, N.M., led the final 37 laps and was able to overcome a late-race restart to captured the USRA Stock Cars main event and a $2,500 first prize. Cain appeared on his way to a comfortable win, with a one-second lead over Dylan Thornton with two laps remaining in the 40-lap event. But a caution took away his margin and forced him to prevail in a two-lap shootout to the finish. It proved not problem for Cain, who held off Mitch Hovden by .822 seconds at the finish with Bryan White third. "We had a good time tonight," Cain said. "I kept messing up in (turns) three and four and I thought I was gonna give it away. But on the longer runs, I felt like I could make one and two make up for what I was messing up in three and four." Front-row starters Derek Green and Cain traded the lead in the early going with Cain in front when a caution slowed the action on lap four. Cain opened up a lead and continued to set the pace as Dylan Thornton moved into second on lap nine. Cain's leading margin was 1.7 seconds over Thornton when caution slowed the action again on lap 17. Cain extended his lead to 2.3 seconds by lap 30 with Thornton and Green following. Continuing to utilize the low groove throughout, Cain had a 2.6-second command wiped out after a lap-32 caution. Then came the lap-38 caution and Thornton made a big run, pulling alongside coming to the white flag. But Thornton experienced mechanical issues to take him out of contention on the last lap. Hovden wins in Hobby Stocks: Chris Hovden of Cresco, Iowa, crossed the finish line second, but was elevated to the USRA Hobby Stocks victory when apparent race-winner Dylan Clinton of West Union, Iowa, was disqualified in post-race tech inspection. Clinton grabbed the lead away from Carter Koop on lap five with Tracy Halouska taking over second from Koop a lap later. Clinton opened a 1.8-second lead over Halouska at the halfway mark on lap 15. As the race remained caution-free, Clinton poured it on and finished 4.1 seconds in front of Hovden for what appeared to be his third straight nationals triumph - all at Lucas Oil Speedway. Instead, Hovden took the win and the $1,200 first prize. "It feels awesome. I've been trying for a lot of years and this is the my first year at Lucas Oil Speedway," Hovden said of winning the nationals. "It's a little bittersweet, you getting it in the tech tent, but it's also one of them things. You really have to know your car. "I had it bite me one time last year. It happened to Dylan. It happens to everybody at least once in their career. You just have to follow the rules the best you can. I'm just so excited. It was an awesome weekend." Halouska wound up second with Justin Hanson third and Jeremy Crimmins fourth. Martin captures Tuners feature: Randy Martin of Springtown, Texas, took over on lap six and went on to beat David Kirkpatrick for the USRA Tuners feature win, worth $500. "It was a great run. I got out front and the track was super, super fast. That was fun for me," said Martin, who was making his first visit to Lucas Oil Speedway. Justin Converse slid around Dylan Whitley for the lead on lap six. One circuit later, eighth-starting Martin advanced to the front as Converse almost spun his car in turn two and Martin opened a 1.2-second lead by the midpoint on lap 10. Martin had a 3.2-second lead over Converse when a lap-17 caution slowed the action and took away Martin's sizable cushion. On the restart, a huge melee ensued behind Martin with Converse taking a big hit as seven cars were involved. After a lengthy clean-up in turn one, Martin held off Kirkpatrick by 1.2 seconds for the win. Kirkpatrick came through the B-Main to get into the field, starting 14th. Jason Weber finished third with Dustin Reeves fourth and Racer Costello fifth.

  Stage set for Saturday's final night of 10th annual Summit USRA Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 6, 2023) - The stage is set for the grand finale on Saturday night at the 10th annual Summit USRA Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway. Features in all five competing divisions on Friday's Night 4 of the Nationals saw more drivers lock into the A Features for the final night. A full night of action on Saturday will see "alphabet soup" of features leading to the A features in the USRA Modified, B-Mod, Stock Cars, Tuners and Hobby Stock divisions. Grandstands are set to open at 4:30 p.m. Saturday with racing at 5:30 p.m. Michehl, White capture Stock Car features: Third-starting Myles Michehl of Fort Dodge, Iowa, jumped to the lead on the opening lap and held off Pat Graham by .356 seconds to take the first of two features in the USRA Stock Cars division. Michehl had just taken the white flag with Graham on his bumper when a lapped car spun in turn one to bring out a caution. Both Michehl and Graham evaded the stopped car, leaving them two laps to settle the outcome as scoring reverted to the previous lap. Michehl hung on for the win Gerald Wahwahsuck finished third, joining the top two in advancing to the Saturday-night A Feature. Bryan White of Lebanon led all 20 laps to earn the victory in a caution-plagued second Stock Cars feature. White led by 1.2 seconds midway through the 20-lapper, but as second-place Bill Crimmims appeared to be cutting into the gap White expanded the lead to 2.6 seconds by lap 14. That's when the race's fifth caution flew, wiping out White's cushion. It didn't matter as White dominated the rest of the way, beating Jake NEwman by 2.1 seconds. Crimmins earned the third and final transfer spot into the Saturday feature. Turner, Moudry, King take B-Mod wins: Shadren Turner, entering the night second in USRA B-Mod national points, helped his cause by leading all 20 laps in the first feature. Turner beat Kris Jackson by 2.5 seconds with both of them locking into Saturday night's main event for the B-Mods. Turner, of St. Joseph, opened a 1.7-second lead over Mitchell Franklin by the halfway point. Franklin surrendered the runner-up spot on the final lap as Jackson made a pass coming to the finish line and beat him by a half-car-length. Ben Moudry of Protivin, Iowa, held off Reece Solander by half a second to earn the second B-Mod feature. Moudry started on the front row and led the first 15 laps with Kirk pressuring him when a caution flew on lap 14. Andy Bryant took over second on the restart and was nearly a second behind Moudry when a lap 18 yellow came out. Moudry was able to use the high groove to hold off Solander at the finish, as both clinched starting spots on Saturday for the feature. The third feature saw Cody King of Fanshawe, Okla., pass race-long leader Dan Hovden in turn two on lap 15. Jon Sheets got around Hovden on lap 17 for the runner-up spot, but was unable to catch the leader. King beat Sheets by .746 seconds, but both locked in feature spots for Saturday. Ahumada, Givens grab Modified feature victories : Carlso Ahumada Jr. of El Paso, Texas, held off Terry Phillips of Springfield in a dandy to claim the first USRA Modified feature. Ahumada prevailed by .022 seconds in leading all but one lap after starting from the pole. Phillips started fourth and was able to quickly work his way into the runner-up position. He used the high groove to pull alongside and edge past Ahumada for the lead off turn two on lap 19, but Ahumada regained the top spot on the final circuit. Cole Anderson finished third to complete the trio locking into Saturday's Modified finale. Brandon Givens of Wichita, Kan., led the final 17 laps of the second Modified feature, finishing .390 seconds in front of Gabe Hodges. Jason Pursley came home third to earn his way into a locked-in A Feature starting spot on Saturday. Martin wins Tuners feature: Randy Martin of Springtown, Texas, held off Oliver Monson for the USRA Tuners feature victory. Monson was disqualified in post-race tech inspection and Robert Tosh was elevated to runner-up. Martin started fifth and rolled to the lead by lap three. Martin held a one-second lead by lap 10, but 10th-starting Monson cut the gap to .087 seconds when a lap-13 caution set up a two-lap shootout. Martin executed an outstanding restart and went on to finish .829 seconds in front of Monson with Tosh crossing the finish line third. The top six earned their way into Saturday's finale. Hobby Stocks feature goes to Clinton: Fifth-starting Dylan Clinton of Clinton, Iowa, took command on lap four and drove away for the USRA Hobby Stocks feature. Clinton, the defending champ of the nationals, beat Chris Hovden by less than a car length. Clinton had a 2.2-second lead over Chris Hovden by lap 13 when the race's first caution came out. Hovden stayed close from there and a last-lap bid fell .028 seconds short of the winner. Jeremy Crimmins was third as the top six advanced to the Saturday feature.

  Summit USRA Nationals open with Davis, Hovden and Morton earning Shootout victories at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 3, 2023) - The first of a scheduled five straight nights of the Summit USRA Nationals kicked off at Lucas Oil Speedway on Tuesday night with Brandon Davis, JC Morton and Mitch Hovden each visiting victory lane. The all-star event on the first night featured Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series track champions and Summit Shootout qualifying race winners. Davis of Hayfield, Minn., led all 16 laps but had to hold off Nic Bidinger's challenge just past the halfway point and held on for the USRA Modified feature win. Davis started on the pole and led fourth-starting Nic Bidinger through the first four laps, opening an .812-second lead before Paden Phillips spun to bring out a caution while running fourth. Bidinger rode the high line to pressure Davis by lap 10, then switched to the low side on lap 12 to pull alongside. But Davis, racing at Lucas Oil Speedway for the first time, was able to build a gap over the final laps to pull away and beat Bidinger by 1.2 seconds. "I didn't really know where to run," Davis said. "I saw the class before me (Stock Cars) run up on top. I just decided to go to the bottom because I know the lip is pretty treacherous up there if you get over it. "I heard Bidinger and looked at the (video) board and he was there. I decided to try and change it up a little bit and finally figured out towards the end a little bit in one and two. "The first time here, it's interesting. It takes a little bit to get used to this stuff. It's amazing the difference in soil from up north to down here." Jason Pursley finished third with Trevor Hughes fourth and Tyler Davis in fifth. Hovden captures Stock Cars battle: Mitch Hovden of Decorah, Iowa, lost the lead midway through the USRA Stock Cars Summit Shootout feature, then regained it a lap later to post the feature win. William Garner grabbed the lead on lap 10, but Hovden drove back to the top spot one lap later and didn't surrender it the rest of the way. Garner and Josh Cain staged a side-by-side battle for second over the next several laps before Garner got the advantage and cut Hovden's lead to one-half second. Hovden was able to roll from there and wound up one second in front of Garner at the finish. "You could hear 'em," Hovden said of the challengers. "I moved to the bottom and it seemed to be quite a bit better than the top and I was lucky enough to hold them off." Cain wound up third with Derek Green fourth and Mason Beck fifth. B-Mod Shootout win goes to Morton: JC Morton of Springfield led the final 14 laps for the USRA B-Mod Summit Shootout on the opening night of nationals. A former USRA national champ, Morton too the lead on lap seven from Henry Chambers who started up front and paced five of the first six of the 20-lapper. Morton went on to finish .686 seconds ahead of Lucas Oil Speedway track champion Bobby Williams for his eighth B-Mod feature win of the 2023 season with half of those coming at the Wheatland oval. Williams also had a strong run, advancing from seventh at the start. Morton started eighth and quickly moved into the top four before challenging for the lead and taking it over on lap seven. He didn't give it up from there for a strong start of his week at nationals. Action continues Wednesday night as action builds toward Saturday's big final-night action in all five divisions.

  Lucas Oil Speedway track champ Middaugh hopes home-dirt advantage provides a boost at USRA Nationals

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 2, 2023) - It's already been a dream season for Ryan Middaugh, with track championships at Callaway Raceway in his hometown of Fulton and Lucas Oil Speedway. He has 18 feature wins and 33 top-five finishes in 41 events. "We had a good year in 2017 when we won 14 races. I thought that would be hard to top," Middaugh said. "To do what we have this year, to win six races at Lucas and a track championship and just to put ourselves in this position has been really cool." That position is having a shot at a United States Racing Association Modified national championship. Middaugh enters the five-night Summit USRA Nationals, which kick off Tuesday night at Lucas Oil Speedway, eight points behind Brandon Davis of Hayfield, Minn., in the USRA points race. "I don't really know what it would mean. It would definitely be the pinnacle of what I would say my racing career, which is a racing hobby," Middaugh said of a potential national championship. "If I could pull something like that off, it would be pretty unbelievable." Middaugh calls himself "a true weekly racer" who runs the two tracks closest to home - Lucas and Callaway - and venture to other locales when they can. "It's just me and my dad as the money behind this deal," Middaugh said. "He works two jobs to hold down the motor program and I kind of take care of the rest. We're just working-class people. I have one buddy who comes and helps one or two nights a week. "So just to have a shot at (a national title) means a lot. We've had a really good year, winning 18 races, two track championships and we've pretty much sealed up the Central Region as well." Middaugh, 31, said he's been preparing for the marathon week of the nationals by working up and extra set of tires. Otherwise, the preparation has been pretty much as usual. Perhaps looking for the nearest wood to knock on, he's had few mechanical issues all season. "We haven't had any engines troubles and haven't had any parts failures or DNFs. That's really helped to keep us up front in the points deal and helps the pocket book too, when you're running top-five most every night. You can keep putting that money into getting you there next week." It'll take a special week with continued top-five finishes - and perhaps a couple of feature wins - for Middaugh to have a shot at overtaking Brandon Davis. Tyler Davis of Haysville, Kan., also is in the mix just 21 points behind the leader. Perhaps the home-track advantage will give Middaugh a boost. An already-tremendous season could become one for the ages. "It's definitely a different beast," Middaugh said of the Lucas Oil Speedway dirt. "It changes all the time. It's a tough place to get ahold of. We've built a notebook throughout the year and when the track changes it doesn't hurt us. "It would be awesome to even win a prelim night. That would be super cool to top our year off. But we're gonna go there and try to win every night. If we do that, it would be a big boost toward winning the nationals." Here are things to know about the USRA Nationals, which are scheduled to begin with a Monday-night practice session: 10th Annual Summit USRA Nationals CLASSES: USRA Modifieds, Medieval USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods, USRA Hobby Stocks and USRA Tuners.

  Thornton Earns Hard-Fought Second Career Pittsburgher at PPMS

  IMPERIAL, PA (September 30, 2023) - Ricky Thornton Jr. survived a back-and-forth battle between himself and Jonathan Davenport to earn his second career Pittsburgher win in the last three years on Saturday night at Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway. Thornton took home $30,000 of the $100,000 feature purse held before a large crowd of spectators for first-year promoter Blair Kress Jr. Devin Moran rallied from seventh in the closing laps to secure the fourth spot and final spot in the Big River Steel Chase to the Championship Presented by ARP. Tim McCreadie came from eighth to finish in third. Hudson O'Neal earned the Todd Steel Buildings Hard Charger of the Race finishing in fourth after starting 16th on the grid. Earl Pearson Jr. rounded out the top five drivers. Michael Norris grabbed the lead at the start of the 75-lap main event and would lead the first 13 circuits until the front gate leading to and from the grandstands to the pit area was clipped by Norris. The incident would bring out the first caution of the race. After the race restart Thornton would grab the lead for the first time in the race on lap 14. Thornton would hold the point until lap 37 when Davenport passed him for the race lead. Davenport was opening up his lead until a caution appeared with 47 laps scored. Thornton was slowly reeling in Davenport as the two raced through heavy traffic. The two would then go back-and-forth for the lead in a thrilling race for the top spot until Davenport clipped the wall in turn two damaging the right rear of his car. Davenport, who seeking his first career win in the Pittsburgher would fade to eighth at the finish despite leading a race-high 34 laps. After getting by Davenport, Moran would run in the second spot for the final three laps of the race - trailing Thornton by 2.215 seconds at the finish. Thornton's win was his 23rd this year on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series tour and his 34th overall victory of 2023. "He [Davenport] was way better than I was. On the restarts I had to get back by Brandon [Overton] and I pretty much held it on the floor after that. I have got to thank Clements for building an awesome motor here it held up for the final 60 laps flat on the floor. I guess I wanted it a little bit more. He [Davenport] was starting to get tight on entry and I just started to move my line around a little bit. That was the first time I think I have ever gotten a 10 to go signal so I thought it was a five to go. I drove a lot harder after that, but this team never gives up. It was definitely some hard racing," said the winner who collected his seventh series win in nine starts in September. Moran battled with McCreadie to the very end to lock up the fourth spot heading to Eldora. Brandon Overton would slow with mechanical issues on lap 54 yielding the fourth spot after running as high as second in the race. "This is always such a long race, because it's a big track," said the runner-up whose father Donnie won the race twice during his career. "The top got really, really good on both ends. It was definitely not the way we wanted to make it there at the end with Brandon breaking, he was really good too. We put ourselves in position and my crew just worked their tails off all year, and especially in the last two months, kudos to them for preparing me such a great racecar and coming up with these podium finishes." McCreadie, the two-time and defending Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "I got the car a little too tight in the center where I couldn't rotate good enough which I haven't been able to do most of the season. It was probably the wrong time to do it. We should have kept it in the same vicinity as we were in the heat. We feel a lot better than we did a few months ago. Now we can concentrate on winning at Eldora in a few weeks." The winner's Todd and Vickie Burns-owned, SSI Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Coltman Farms, Hoker Trucking, Dyno One, Inc., Sub-Surface of Indiana, West Side Tractor Sales Company, D&E Outside Services, Certified Inspection Service Company, Inc., Midwest Sheet Metal, Excel Floor Covering, Murty Farms, Sunoco Race Fuels, and Bilstein Shocks. Completing the top ten were Max Blair, Alex Ferree, Jonathan Davenport, Brandon Overton, and Mason Zeigler.

  Mike Marlar Captures C.J. Rayburn Memorial Friday Night at Brownstown

  BROWNSTOWN, IN (September 22, 2023) - Mike Marlar and the late C.J. Rayburn were long time friends and on Friday Night he paid the best tribute he could to one of his racing mentors - winning the 40-lap 2nd Annual C.J. Rayburn Memorial at Brownstown Speedway. The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series-sanctioned event drew 45 cars to the historic Southern Indiana venue. Marlar grabbed the lead from Nick Hoffman on lap nine when Hoffman slipped off the frontstretch. Marlar then went on to take the $10,000 victory ahead of Ricky Thornton Jr., Devin Moran, Jonathan Davenport, and Hoffman. The race went green to checkers without any caution flags. Hoffman jumped to the lead at the start of the race and held the top spot for the first eight circuits until he got off the track on the frontstretch allowing Marlar to take over. Hoffman held the second spot behind Marlar for several laps with Brandon Overton, Thornton, and Moran all in the hunt. Thornton outdueled Overton moving to third and then passed Hoffman for second. Thornton then caught Marlar bringing Moran and later Davenport into the fray. At one point the top four were separated by mere seconds as Marlar would fight off challenges for the win - the 21st Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of his career. Marlar's third win this season with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series was arguably the most emotional of his racing career. "I will try to keep it together, C.J.'s special to us and when he passed away, I took it as hard as when my granddad or anybody. I fought hard there, I didn't have the best car, but he [C.J.] was up there helping me out. I was just making it happen. I am just glad that C.J.'s family and all of these supporters of Brownstown Speedway were here. He [C.J.] means so much to all of us and we hated to lose him, but nobody ever lived as good as he did. So, I just really miss him, and miss him everyday honestly and I was glad to get this race won. It's definitely one of the biggest ones for sure." Thornton looking for his series-leading 21st win of the season pulled alongside Marlar on several occasions but settled for second. "He [Marlar] was good we had a couple of shots and just got ran off the racetrack. But we'll try again tomorrow congrats to him [Marlar] he had a really good car. I was watching him at the beginning, and he could just fire off better than any of us. But I felt like in the longer race our race will be pretty good tomorrow, overall, the track was pretty good I am glad they did something to it." Moran, who was in the thick of things in the waning laps rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "They finally widened the track out enough and you could get on the bottom. The track was really good. We could race all over it. Congrats to Mikey I know him and C.J. were pretty tight, so it was cool to see him win."

  Wells rallies for Late Model feature victory in Night One of Lucas Oil Speedway's Fall Brawl

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 22, 2023) - Justin Wells patiently waited before making a bold pass for the lead on lap 24 and pulled away from there to earn the State Tech Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature on Night One of the Fall Brawl Presented by SMC. Wells, of Aurora, earned $2,000 for his 11th feature win of 2023 at Lucas Oil Speedway. He will take aim for the $4,000 prize in Saturday's finale, a program that has been moved to a 1 p.m. start due to a forecast of rain in the evening. Grandstand gates open at noon. In the Springfield Mechanical Services Inc. POWRi Pure Stock Shootout, Mason Beck captured the feature win to take home $500. The payout on Saturday night for the SMSI Power Stock Shootout will be $1,500 to win. Also earning feature triumphs on Friday were Brandon Jordan (Show-Me Vintage Racers Series) and Matthew Hirst (the American Iron Racing Series). While Wells trailed until late in Friday's 30-lapper, he wound up living up his his billing as the man to beat after capturing the Hermitage Lumber Late Model track championship in the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series. Wells said he looks forward to chasing double the money on Saturday and isn't worried about different track conditions that could develop from a day-time race. "They always provide a good track," Wells said. "There was two or three grooves out there tonight. Johnny (Fennewald) and the 81 (Jimmy Dowell), we were three-wide for the lead. No matter what you get thrown at you, it's always pretty good. I'm excited for tomorrow." Dowell beat fellow front-row starter Fennewald to the lead on lap one and set a quick pace, opening a 1.4-second lead after five laps with Wells trailing in third. Fennewald started to cut into the margin as the leaders found lapped traffic and was just two car lengths behind by lap nine when the first caution flew. Dowell repelled Fennewald's bid for the lead on the restart and was able to regain a one-second margin by lap 16 when another caution appeared. This time the restart went Fennewald's way as he surged to the lead in turn two and Wells followed him past Dowell down the backstretch. That set it up for a Fennewald-Wells battle the rest of the way. Wells made a bold dive into the low portion of turn four to take the top spot on lap 24. Wells said it was go-time. "I think Johnny and I was both hanging back there just a little bit because the track was gonna keep the speed or maybe pick up," Wells said. "I got the chance on that caution and then Johnny kind of squeezed me there and got me in the wall. "I thought, you know what, we're gonna man up and get this done and that's what I done." Wells drove away from there for a 3.5-second win over Fennewald. Tucker Cox rallied for third with JC Morton fourth and Larry Jones fifth. Dowell faded to sixth. Early start on Saturday: The Saturday portion of the Fall Brawl has been moved to earlier in the day due to a forecast of rain and possible severe weather starting early in the evening. Pit gates will open at 11 a.m. Saturday with grandstands at noon, hot laps at 12:30 p.m. and racing at 1. Beck takes SMSI Pure Stock Shootout: Mason Beck of Urbana led all 20 laps and held off Mark Simon of Buffalo for the SMSI POWRi Pure Stock Shootout win on opening night, taking home the $500 first prize. "This is my car that was my dad's old car," Beck said. "He and my uncle built it back in the '90s. I figured we'd bust it out one weekend. It's still good, but barely good enough. "Simon was good. He was there the whole time. We've raced all year in the (USRA) Stock Cars together. I knew the only way he was gonna beat me was to go above me and I wasn't gonna get off those tires" on the low side. Beck led the way from his pole-position starting spot and had a 1.1-second lead in the early going, but Simon closed in on his bumper by lap six. By the midpoint on lap 10, Bobby Brown was a close third with Robert High and Robert White rounding out the top five - all separated by a second. The leaders caught lapped traffic on lap 13 with Beck able to stave off a Simon bid for the lead off turn two. Beck hung onto the lead until finally clearing lapped traffic coming to the white flag and he took it to the checkered by two car lengths over Simon for his 14th overall victory of the season. White wound up third with High fourth and Darin Porter fifth in a race that ran caution-free after an opening-lap yellow led to a complete restart. Jordan captures SMVR win: Brandon Jordan of Pineville, Mo., led wire-to-wire to capture the Show-Me Vintage Racing Series feature by a narrow margin over Bob Werkmeister of Omaha, Neb. "My car owner Doug Perry, I called him Doug the Legend Perry," Jordan said. "It's guys like him that keep racing alive. He was racing these cars with his dad when they were late models. That made his pretty much stock, '41 Ford straight axle car as fast as any of them." Jordan rolled to the top spot on the opening lap and Werkmeister gave chase, with third-place Lawrence Waters four seconds behind the leaders by lap six. The caution-free race saw Jordan work his way smoothly through lapped traffic as Werkmeister continued to run right behind, all the way to the checkers. Jordan prevailed by a diminishing car length at the finish, the official margin being .249 seconds. Tom Charles came home in third with Waters fourth and Damon Clevenger fifth. AIRS feature goes to Hirst: Matthew Hirst of Davenport, Iowa, led all 15 laps and held off a late challenge from Travis Heier to capture the American Iron Racing Series feature. Hirst started up front and opened up a 1.6-second lead over Heier when a caution flew on lap eight. Heier closed in after the restart as the top two broke away from third-place Daniel Wauters by about eight car lengths. Hirst and Heier were side-by-side for most of the final two laps, but Hirst was able to hang on by a half second to earn the win. "This is a tribute car to (Iowa driver) Roger Dolan," Hirst said. "Roger was a champion back in the '70s and '80, a fantastic race-car driver. My dad was and is great friends with him. Bart Miller finished third with Wauters fourth and Scott Tiedt taking fifth after starting 12th Saturday admission: Advance Discount Tickets online only (16 and up) - $17 Adults (16 and up) - $20 Seniors (62 and up)/Military - $17 Youth (6-15) - $10 Kids (5 and under) - FREE Family Pass - $50 Pit Pass - $40 LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY UNOFFICIAL RESULTS (Sept. 22, 2023) State Tech Hermitage Lumber Late Models A Feature - 1. 98-Justin Wells[3]; 2. 21-Johnny Fennewald[1]; 3. 1T-Tucker Cox[6]; 4. 72-JC Morton[11]; 5. 99-Larry Jones[5]; 6. 81-Jimmy Dowell[2]; 7. 14-Kyle Graves[12]; 8. 1A-Bryon Allison[4]; 9. 5-Tommy Cordray[16]; 10. 82-Jace Parmley[13]; 11. 90-Joe Walkenhorst[19]; 12. 73-Francisco Escamila[15]; 13. 7J-Jake Morris[14]; 14. 6-Bob Cummings[17]; 15.

  Starting time for Saturday portion of Lucas Oil Speedway Fall Brawl moved earlier

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 22, 2023) - With a forecast of rain and possible severe weather for Saturday evening, Lucas Oil Speedway has adjusted its starting time for Day 2 of the Fall Brawl Presented by SMC. Racing action is set to begin at 1 p.m. after 12:30 p.m. hot laps. Pit gates are set to open at 11 a.m. with grandstands at noon on Saturday. "With the drivers already here to compete on Friday night, we want to give them every opportunity to get Saturday's races in," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "The forecast is calling for rain to start by about 7, so we'll hopefully get the program finished and everybody on the road before that." The Fall Brawl Presented by SMC began on Friday evening with the State Tech Hermitage Lumber Late Models, the Springfield Mechanical Services Inc.

  Armed with new chassis, Cox ready to roll as Lucas Oil Speedway Weekly Late Models get shot at extra cash

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 21, 2023) - The Hermitage Lumber Late Model division enjoyed a rejuvenated Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series season at Lucas Oil Speedway with car count on the rise. Now the Late Models get to run a two-night show for money usually reserved for the open division. The first Fall Brawl Presented by SMC will find the State Tech Hermitage Lumber Late Models running full programs Friday and Saturday with a $2,000 to win feature on night one and $4,000 night two. "I think we're all pretty excited," driver Tucker Cox of Jefferson City said. "It's been a long time coming. A lot of us have been racing at Wheatland for a while. There's some new guys, too, but there's several of us that have raced there for quite a few years now. I think it's deserved." Drivers had to enter a minimum of four Weekly Racing Series events to be eligible. For Cox, that became problematic when a hard crash in mid April left him with a broken foot and uncertain racing plans. He missed two months and admitted his foot wasn't 100 percent for a while. But the 23-year-old was able to pick up where he left off, running near the front. He had five top-five finishes after returning in mid-July, including four third-place feature runs at Wheatland. "We've been pretty good," Cox said. "I blew a motor up one week running third and I've ran third a few times. We've been all right and are trying to get a little bit better now. "I wasn't real sure what to expect (when he came back) with my foot being the way it was, with it being sore. It's gotten a lot better since I first came back. The first few weeks I was pretty sore after the races and during the races. I think that affected me a little bit. "It's still a little bit sore, not every day, but some days. The doctor said it could take up to a year to fully recovery from the soreness." Cox is looking to finish the season strong and built positive momentum heading in the winter months. He plans to hit the POWRi Nationals at Lake Ozark Speedway next weekend and the Turkey Bowl at Springfield against open competition in November. He will do so with a new chassis, having switched to a Capital after campaigning an MB Customs for the last few seasons. He debuted it last week at I-35 Speedway, finishing third in the feature. "My MB was good and everything, I just hadn't drove anything else really," Cox said. "I drove something else my first year and have had MB Customs since. I just want to do something a little bit and try it out and see how it was. "I'm hoping to run a little better this week and carry that into the end of the year and next year." The Springfield Mechanical Services Inc. POWRi Pure Stock Shootout also will be a first-time special for that class at Lucas Oil Speedway. The SMSI Pure Stock Shootout was formerly held at Dallas County Speedway, which closed earlier this year. The Shootout will see the Pure Stocks going after $500 to win on Friday and $1,500 on Saturday with $150 to start. The Friday winner will earn a provisional into Saturday night's feature if the driver does not qualify for the main event otherwise. Also running full programs both nights will be the Show Me Vintage Racers Series (SMVR) and the American Iron Racing Series (A.I.R.S).

  Hockett-McMillin Memorial Spotlight: ASCS championship leader Martin looks to add Lucas Oil Speedway success

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 12, 2023) - Jason Martin fell in love with open-wheel racing when he was a youngster after his parents took him to the races in his native Kansas. It didn't take Martin long to decide what he wanted to make racing his career calling. "You come to the races one time and you'll be bit," Martin said of instant enthusiasm for the sport. "I was a really young kid and my parents took me to the races pretty often and it was an easy pretty choice of what I wanted to do growing up. I wanted to drive a sprint car. Dad got me into go-karts early and I was about 17 when I got into a sprint car." Hundreds of wins and multiple track championships later, the 41-year-old from Liberal, Kan., is enjoying one of the best seasons of his career. Martin leads the American Sprint Car Series championship chase as the circuit makes its annual visit to Lucas Oil Speedway this week for the 13th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial. "It's up there at the top of the payouts and it's a huge car count," Martin said of the Hockett-McMillin, which begins Thursday night and concludes with a $10,000-to-win feature on Saturday for the winged cars. "It's always really fun event and we always really enjoy going and racing there." The POWRi WAR non-wing sprints also will be in action with a $4,077-to-win feature on Saturday night. Both divisions will run split qualifying programs with half of the fields racing Thursday night and the other half on Friday, gathering points toward starting positions on the final night. Because of a large car count, this marks the first time the split qualifying nights have been used for the ASCS at the Hockett-McMillin. Martin said applies added pressure. Getting a prime starting position for the big Saturday finale is vital and there's little room for error on the preliminary night, which is Friday in Martin's case. "In the past you always got three nights on the track and were able to make a bunch of changes and got really good by the third night," Martin said. "This year puts a little bit of a curve ball in where you split the field in half. But we have pretty good notes, so hopefully we'll be able to roll out of the box right away. "It puts a lot more stress on just one night. Before you had kind of a mulligan, where you if you had a bad night you could recover. Now you have one chance as far as your qualifying night goes. It's a lot more pressure to perform and have good luck." No matter what happens this weekend, it's been a heck of a year for Martin with nine ASCS wins and 16 top-five finishes in 23 events to built a 99-point lead over Matt Covington. Overall, Martin has 12 feature victories this season. "We've never spent a bunch of time chasing points championships," Martin said. "This is our second year running for the ASCS national points. It's been good. We've been able to get to a lot of the race tracks we were at last year and go back to our notebook. We've been able to improve on a lot of those finishes. "We've won 12 races so far. There were years in the past where we've won 15 or 16, so it's not our highest win total, but for the cars and caliber of the series we're racing … I'm happy with our season and we've got a little bit left to go to try and close it out and try to win a championship." Among his accomplishments, Martin won The Steve King Memorial at Dodge City Raceway Park in 2009 as well as in 2011 at The Jetmore Motorplex. He's also one of handful of racers who can say they have made the A-Mains at both the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa and the Knoxville Nationals in Knoxville, Iowa in the same year as a rookie in these events. Martin has raced in 34 different states plus Canada and won races at 20 different tracks in eight states, driving both winged and non-winged sprints, plus midgets and micro sprints. While he's yet to win in limited appearances at Lucas Oil Speedway, Martin said he feels good about the track surface and plans to use Thursday night to scout how the track changes throughout the evening and how the maintenance crew adjusts. "Typically, I really do like the track there," Martin said. "They do a really good job with the track prep. Most of the time it's slick and wide and that's what I prefer it to be, when the cushion gets up there by the fence. "We'll kind of see (Thursday) what the track prep guys do. If it's really wet and they let it go, or if it gets slick early and they have time to go re-prep it. Just watch and see what the track surface changes look like, what the non-wing cars do to the track. Just pay attention to what happens. It's a good learning tool." 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. Programs each of the first two nights will find $3,000-to-win features for the winged cars and $2,000 for the wingless. Drivers will earn points each time they hit the track - qualifying, heat races and features - Thursday and Friday nights to help determine their starting position for the final night. The finales on Saturday night, following last-chance qualifiers and B-Mains will be $10,000 for the ASCS winner and $4,077 for the WAR first-place finisher. On Thursday and Friday, pit gates open at 4 p.m. with grandstands at 5, hot laps at 6 and racing at 7:05.

  Lucas Oil Speedway plays host to 13th annual Hockett-McMillin Memorial starting on Thursday

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 11, 2023) - What's become an annual reunion for top sprint-car drivers and fans from throughout the land fires up the 2023 version on Thursday night at Lucas Oil Speedway, all the while paying tribute to two icons of the sport. The 13th annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial is a three-night crown jewel event featuring the best of the American Sprint Car Series winged cars and the POWRi WAR wingless sprints. "This even just continues to grow, year after year, and we look forward to a great three nights of open-wheel action," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "Fans from all over the country put this on their schedules and make it a must-see race weekend with large fields of cars." 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. The event attracts such a large field of cars that both the ASCS winged sprint and POWRi WAR divisions will split the field of entries and run full programs the first two nights, with $3,000-to-win features for the winged cars and $2,000 for the wingless. Drivers will earn points each time they hit the track Thursday and Friday nights to help determine their starting position for the final night.
