- McCutcheon, Smith, Martin earn feature wins at Rod End Supply Road to the Hockett Round 2 at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (June 27, 2026) - Ryder McCutcheon chased Xavier Doney for 24 laps and most of the 25th. Then, on the final turn, McCutcheon made the winning pass as Doney's car lost power. That sent McCutcheon to victory lane in Saturday night's POWRi 410 Sprint feature in Round 2 of the Rod End Supply Road to the Hockett at Lucas Oil Speedway. Series Rookie of the Year contender McCutcheon, a 15-year-old from Alamogordo, N.M., scored his first POWRi 410 victory, worth $5,000, in dramatic fashion. "I'm very blessed to have all these guys on my side," McCutcheon said of his crew, car owners and sponsors at Hubland Motorsports. "Thank you for the opportunity. Thank you for letting me get here." Those two were the main contenders throughout the 25-lap event. Doney out-ran McCutcheon into the first turn as the green flew to take the lead and the front-row starters set the early pace. Doney had a half-second lead when caution flew on lap five as Kyle Clark spun to a stop in turn three. Just two laps were completed after the restart before third-running Scotty Milan's car lost power and had to be pushed to the pits. That elevated Gage Montgomery to third behind Doney and McCutcheon. Another caution slowed action on lap nine as Kyle Bellm hit the backstretch wall and headed to the pits. The race settled into a green-flag rhythm after the next restart and that allowed Doney to open his lead to nearly one second by lap 15, when he and McCutcheon caught lapped traffic. McCutcheon pulled alongside on lap 18, but Doney was able to withstand the challenge and keep the lead. Another caution appeared on lap 21 as eighth-running Landon Crawley slowed to a half on the front stretch, leaving four laps to settle the outcome. They made it just two laps before Steven Russell rolled to a stop atop turn four as another caution flew, making it a two-lap sprint to the finish. McCutcheon found himself in the right place at the right time as Doney's car lost power entering the final turns, running out of fuel. "Xavier ran a really good race. I don't want to win a race like that, honestly," McCutcheon said. "He should be going home with the trophy. But our car was on rails tonight, the best it's ever been." Doney, who coasted to the finish line to finish third behind Gage Montgomery, said he ran out of fuel after the multitude of caution laps. "Props to Ryder. He raced me clean and ran a good race, and he put more fuel in the car," Doney said. Dylan Bloomfield was fourth and Roger Crockett finished fifth. Other winners on the program were Wesley Smith (POWRi WAR) and Randy Martin (IMCA RaceSaver 305 Sprints). The Road to the Hockett has its own points series with prize money at the conclusion of four races with the points champs in POWRi 410 Winged Springs and POWRi WAR receiving an automatic bid into this fall's 16th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial, Sept. 17-19. Remaining rounds on the Rod End Supply Road to the Hockett are set for Aug. 1 and Championship Night on Aug. 22. Feature winners in Round 1 on May 16 were Joel Myers (410 Winged Sprints), Jack Wagner (WAR Sprints) and Peyton White (305 Sprints). Smith rolls in WAR Sprints: Wesley Smith knows what it feels like to win at Lucas Oil Speedway, which is about 90 minutes north of his home in Nixa. Smith posted his sixth career win at the facility, taking the POWRi WAR non-wing feature. "These cars are so good," Smith said. "It was a little bit of a learning curve to get used to car that bites this well. Luckily we're so familiar with this place." Smith posted his second series win of the season and 20th of his career. It earned him $2,000. Smith started on the pole and took the lead at the start over Samuel Wagner. Smith forged a 1.1-second lead by lap five with Bryson Smith third and Jack Wagner fourth. As pursuers battled behind him, Smith kept building his lead and had a 2.8-second lead by lap 10 as the race remained in a long green-flag run. Smith took advantage of that and extended the lead to nearly four seconds as the race hit lap 15. Chase Howard rallied into second as the laps clicked past, going around Jack Wagner and Bryson Smith. But it was all Wesley Smith up front as he crushed to the win by 3.4 seconds over Howard. "It's always good to get a win here before the Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial," Smith said. "It's going to be a bigger race that ever and we're really looking forward to it. I want to get back to victory lane. I've got quite a few wins here and I definitely want a second Hockett-McMillin trophy." Bryson Smith wound up third with Jack Wagner fourth and Samuel Wagner fifth. Fast qualifying time went to Bryson Smith of Nixa with a lap of 15.163. Veteran Smith wins 305 thriller: Randy Martin of California, Mo., dove to the low groove in turn four on the final lap to beat race-long leader Chase Koelliker of Elwood, Kan, by .168 seconds for the IMCA RaceSaver 305 feature victory. "I didn't know on that last lap whether he was gonna to the top. I was gonna go to the bottom no matter what, but that kid ran a hell of a race," Martin said. "It feels pretty good to be 65 years old and out-run these younger guys, but there will come a day I'll be sitting up there drinking a beer and watching. "I've raced for 48 years and won at least one race every year. I thought this year we wasn't gonna get it, but luckily I got one tonight." Third-starting Koelliker, 18, took the lead on the opening lap with Randy Martin giving chase. They remained 1-2 with Koelliker with a half-second cushion at the halfway mark on lap 10. Except for a brief lap-3 yellow, the race remained green to the finish. Koelliker looked like a winner until the final time around when Martin found enough speed to catch Koelliker and pass him with the finish line in sight. Landon Muehlberger finished third with Kameron Key fourth and Mike Trent fifth.

- Moran Outduels Sheppard for $50,000 Firecracker 100 Victory
SARVER, PA (June 27, 2026) - Devin Moran emerged victorious in an unforgettable duel with Brandon Sheppard over the final 20 laps, capturing the 20th Annual Firecracker 100 presented by Experience Butler County at Lernerville Speedway. Moran and the Double Down Motorsports team earned $50,000 after taking the lead for the final time on lap 92 of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series crown jewel event. The victory made Moran the 14th different winner in Firecracker 100 history. Sheppard, who led 80 laps, finished second, while championship points leader Hudson O'Neal completed the Big River Steel podium in third. Brandon Overton rallied from as deep as 18th to finish fourth, and O'Reilly Auto Parts Rookie of the Year points leader Josh Rice rounded out the top five. Sheppard controlled the race through the opening 79 laps before Moran, who started fourth, closed the gap and made his first pass for the lead on lap 80. Moran paced the field until lap 91, when Sheppard briefly reclaimed the top spot. Moran answered one lap later, completing the race-winning pass on lap 92 and holding off Sheppard over the closing circuits. The victory was the 30th Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of Moran's career and added his name to the prestigious list of Firecracker 100 champions dating back to the inaugural event in 2007. "I was really good through turns one and two early, but from the center off the corner it started going over the crown and I lost a lot of speed," Moran said in Wieland Victory Lane. "I was just watching Sheppy the whole time, trying to take his air away. A couple of times it got close, and I chopped him a little bit, but that's what you've got to do to win the Firecracker." "I've always loved this place. It's extraordinary to win this race. Roger Sellers is leaving for a cruise tomorrow, so I guess we gave him a little extra spending money. We've had this car for a few years now, and it's been a really good race car. We've had our ups and downs, but we knew if we brought this one out, we'd have a chance." Sheppard, who was seeking his first Firecracker 100 victory, saw the race slip away in the closing laps but remained within 10 points of O'Neal in the championship standings. "He did a good job," Sheppard said of Moran. "I was passing lapped cars using the line I wanted to run, but I got to where I couldn't steer through the center very well. I think it was because we had a softer right-front tire, so I had to diamond the corner more than I wanted. After he got by me, I was able to get back to him, but Devin did a great job. There's so much tough competition out here that any one of these guys can win on any night." O'Neal, who ran second for much of the early portion of the race, was encouraged by the performance after recent struggles on similar track surfaces. "We always want to be better, but this was a huge step in the right direction for us," O'Neal said. "Historically, we've struggled in conditions like this. We knew we needed to improve after last weekend at Smoky Mountain, and I feel like we made progress tonight." Moran's winning Double Down Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and backed by Big River Steel, Millwood Plumbing, Northeastern Fabrication, Ohio Natural Energy, C&W Trucking, Phillips CPA, BOMAG, Anthony's Pizza, Car Source Auto, Hazen Services, McHugh Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Elliott Farms, and Pee Wee's Wrecker Service. Completing the top ten were Max Blair, Michael Norris, Dan Ebert, Garrett Alberson, and Carson Ferguson.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Road to Hockett Round 2 next after Sissom wins Red 'N' Tacky Enduro in Friday Night Frenzy
WHEATLAND, MO. (June 26, 2026) - Josh Sissom turned the Red 'N' Tacky Enduro 150 into a runaway Friday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Sissom, from Cape Girardeau, started 19th. He took the lead by lap 31 and held it the final 120 circuits to beat Dallas Butchee - the only other car on the lead lap - for the $1,500 victory in the annual marathon. The winner wasted little time grabbing total command after passing Colton Joyner for the lead. The only question was if his car would hold up over the distance, and it did. "These are so much. It's an affordable way to race for people who may not have the budgeting. We paid $500 for this car," Sissom said in victory lane. "Thanks to everybody for coming out. I know these are long and thanks to everybody for staying. "It just worked out on our schedule. I normally race UMP Modifieds over in southeast Missouri. We got in a little trouble with the race track over there and we got to come do this." Eighth-starting Colton Joyner and fourth-starting Jesse Brooks, the 2025 race winner, swapped the lead in the early going with Joyner holding a 2.5-second lead by lap 15. Josh Sissom, who started 19th, became the third leader on lap 31, taking the top spot away from Joyner. Sissom rolled to a 5.3-second lead by lap 50 as Joyner remained in second and Dallas Butchee another 3.3 seconds back in third. By this point, only six cars were running on the lead lap. The total of lead-lap cars was down to five as the race approached the halfway mark with Sissom continuing to cruise at the front, six seconds in from of Joyner receiving the halfway flags on lap 75. Butchee moved into second by lap 81, but was 11 seconds behind the leader. Joyner continued to fade from contention with Brooks moving into third, Brandon Vink fourth and Jason Novak fifth by lap 90. Sissom's gap was a race-high 14.1 seconds over Butchee as he passed the 100-lap mark and the only remaining mystery was if his car could hold together for another 50 laps. Those two were the only cars on the lead lap and more than half of the 30-car starting field had retired as the clock struck midnight. Butchee started to cut into Sissom's lead over the final 20 laps, but it wasn't enough to threaten Sissom took the checkers 11.788 seconds in front in a race that took 56 minutes, 40 seconds to complete. Novak, who started 16th, was three laps down to finish third with Brooks fourth and Eric Lampe fifth. A total of 133 cars checked into the pits, including 59 Midwest Mods, in the special Friday Night Frenzy program. Ewing earns Super Stocks win: Blaine Ewing of Green Ridge, Mo., started on the pole and led every circuit in capturing his second Hickamo Super Stocks feature win of the season, outdistancing runner-up Johnny Fennewald. As Ewing blazed the early pace, Terry Schultz and Fennewald swapped the runner-up spot on a lap-four restart and again three laps later with Ewing holding a half-second edge over Schulz. Ewing increased his margin to 2.3-seconds over Fennewald when caution flew again on lap 13. Ewing, who also won at Wheatland on June 20th, held on to win his fifth overall feature in 2026, beating Fennewald by 2.9 seconds. Jacob Rexing rallied from 12th to third with Aaron Poe fourth and Mike Striegel fifth. Midwest Mods: Brian Meyer of Concordia, Mo., held off Tyler Knudtson of Lebanon throughout the 20-lap Midwest Mods feature, earning his second overall win of the season. Front-row starters Meyer and Knudtson ran 1-2 from the start, though Meyer never was able to make it a comfortable drive to victory. Meyer edged away to a half-second lead when action slowed for a caution on lap eight. Blake Ellis worked his way from 14th at the start to third by the mid point on lap 10 as Meyer and Knudtson continued to set the pace. As the race entered the final five laps, the top two continued to battle, but Meyer was up to the challenge, holding off his pursuer for the entire 20 laps. Meyer won by .617 seconds over Knudtson with Ellis third, Logan Roark fourth and David Wood finishing fifth. Stovall's late pass earns Legends win: Jett Stovall, a 15-year-old from Billings, took the lead with two laps remaining and held on to capture his first win of 2026 and first ever at Lucas Oil Speedway in the Legends main event. Cale Riggs, a 19-year-old from Hatch, N.M., grabbed the lead on lap two after pole-starting David Lawson paced the opening circuit. Stovall soon moved into third with Riggs maintaining a one-second lead by lap 10. Riggs' lead was down to a half-second when caution on lap 12 bunched the field for a three-lap shootout. Stovall took the lead after the restart and beat Chance Gilbert by a half-second for the win as Riggs slipped to third on the final lap. Austin Azeez finished fourth with Lawson fifth.

- Thornton and Sheppard Collect Friday Night Preliminary Wins at Lernerville
SARVER, PA (June 26, 2026) - Ricky Thornton Jr. and Brandon Sheppard each earned $5,000 victories Friday night, winning their respective 25-lap preliminary features at Lernerville Speedway. The twin preliminary features set the lineups for Saturday's four heat races, which will determine the starting field for the 20th Annual Firecracker 100 presented by Experience Butler County. The crown jewel event will pay $50,000 to the winner. Thornton claimed the opening feature for the 58th LOLMDS victory of his career in one of the season's most eventful races. Dan Ebert recorded the best Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series finish of his career in second, while two-time Firecracker 100 winner Brandon Overton rounded out the Big River Steel podium in third. Josh Rice finished fourth, and current Midwest Sheet Metal championship points leader Hudson O'Neal completed the top five. O'Neal led the opening 12 laps before slipping in turn four, allowing Thornton - who started fourth - to take over the lead. Rice reclaimed second during the frantic lap-13 action before Overton moved into the runner-up spot on lap 17. Ebert then charged into second with five laps remaining and closed on Thornton in the final laps but came up just short. The victory positions the two-time Firecracker 100 winner for a favorable starting spot in Saturday's heat races. "I thought we had a really good car," Thornton said. "We built a new one coming here, and I told (Anthony) Burroughs I didn't really want to know what was going on - just do what you think we need to do. I felt like our car was really good. Sheppy looked really good around the bottom in the second feature, so I think we've still got a little room to improve down there. I was just a little too tight to be as good as he was. Hats off to all the fans for coming out. Hopefully we can get tomorrow's show in." Thornton's winning Koehler Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and backed by Knight's Companies, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms Racing, Capital Waste, Elite Ready Mix, Certified Inspection Services, Strange Oval, SI Towing and Recovery, and Sunoco Race Fuels. Completing the top ten in the first feature were Carson Ferguson, Brian Shirley, Chub Frank, Eric Wilson, and Brenden Smith. In the second 25-lap feature, Brandon Sheppard charged from the seventh starting position and passed Devin Moran for the lead on lap seven, then pulled away to score his 41st career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory. Moran, the defending Series champion, led the opening six laps before Sheppard used the bottom groove to take command. From there, Sheppard steadily extended his advantage, crossing the finish line 2.120 seconds ahead of Moran. Max Blair slipped past five-time and defending Lernerville track champion Michael Norris on the final lap to finish third, while Garrett Alberson rounded out the top five after starting 10th. "It's one of those deals where, starting that far back, you just go where everyone else isn't," Sheppard said. "I knew my car was good no matter where I put it. I was just biding my time and watching where everyone was running. The top was pretty treacherous after seeing guys go over the edge in the first feature, so I didn't want to go up there unless I absolutely had to. Our car has been really balanced all year, and it was good again tonight. I just messed up both qualifying laps, or we probably would've started a little farther forward." Sheppard's winning Mark Richards Racing, Rocket Chassis is powered by a Durham Racing Engine and backed by Valvoline, Seubert Calf Ranches, Ace Metal Works, Performance Grading, Petroff Towing, Franklin Enterprises, Sunoco Race Fuels, Gunter's Honey, Stiles Marine and Maintenance, and Collins Brothers Towing. Completing the top ten in the second feature were Dillon McCowan, Alex Ferree, Tyler Wyant, Gregg Satterlee, and Ryan Montgomery.

- McDowell Scores Popular Victory in Mountain Moonshine Classic at Smoky Mountain
MARYVILLE, TN (June 20, 2026) - Dale McDowell led all 60 laps of the Mountain Moonshine Classic on Saturday night at Smoky Mountain Speedway, earning a popular hometown victory and collecting $30,000 for his 11th career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win. The victory was McDowell's first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series triumph triumph since winning the Topless 100 in 2023 and his first Series victory at Smoky Mountain Speedway since 2016. Devin Moran charged from seventh to finish second after passing Friday night winner Brandon Sheppard on lap 45. Moran closed the gap in the closing laps but crossed the finish line 1.113 seconds behind McDowell. Sheppard rounded out the Big River Steel podium in third after finishing second for the first 44 laps of the race. Jake O'Neil recorded the best Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series finish of his career with a fourth-place effort after running inside the top five throughout the event. Chris Madden completed the top five. With his third-place finish, Sheppard trimmed Hudson O'Neal's championship lead to just 20 points heading into next weekend's event at Lernerville Speedway. McDowell's victory was his 13th overall win at Smoky Mountain Speedway since 2008 and came in front of a home-state crowd. "I anticipated that second start and wasn't sure where the grip was going to be," McDowell said in Lucas Oil Victory Lane. "Things just kind of fell our way. The car was really good, and the guys have worked hard on it. I've given them some feedback, and sometimes it's probably wrong, but they keep working at it." "It was an awesome night to win close to home. Like Kyle Busch said, you never know when the last one is going to be, so I'm sure glad to get one here. Shane made a few changes from Friday night, and the car was balanced really well. I was able to pick my way through traffic and guide it where I needed to go." Moran made a late charge after overtaking Sheppard but couldn't quite reel in the veteran leader. "Dale McDowell is Dale McDowell for a reason," Moran said. "I'm ready for him to retire. When he got to traffic, I felt like I had a really good run. I was pushing hard and probably overheated the right rear tire trying to get there. Once I got to him and slid it, that pretty much hurt my chances. Still, coming from seventh to finish second isn't bad." Sheppard believed the race was decided in the opening laps. "The initial start is what lost the race for us," Sheppard said. "I saw Dale rolling a little bit and was waiting to go, but I got lifted from behind and couldn't launch like I needed to. Once he got out front, we were hoping traffic or a restart would give us an opportunity. I had a good restart and got by Madden, but on the next one I got too close to Dale entering turn one, lost the air on the nose, and Devin got by me." McDowell's winning Shane McDowell Racing Team Zero Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and backed by Reece Monument Company, Remtek Enterprises, Otterly Baths, AAA General Contracting, Ace Doran Hauling & Rigging, Klotz Synthetic Lubricants, Mark IV, M&S Motors, Jason Wright Excavating, Black Rock Enterprises, BSI Well Service, Northeastern Fabrication, and Campbell Insulation.

- Pursley earns first Late Model win to highlight Challenge Cup Round 2 at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (June 20, 2026) - Dayton Pursley overcame nerves and pressure from a pair of challengers to earn his first Late Model victory on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. The 23-year-old from Hermitage held off Kaeden Cornell and JC Morton to prevail in the Hermitage Lumber Late Models for a $1,000 pay day in Round 2 of the Pitts Hmes and Realty Challenge Cup. A total of 117 cars checked into the pits and other feature winners included Wyatt Gaggero (Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds), Jon Sheets (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Mason Beck (O'Reilly USRA Stock Cars) and Blaine Ewing (Hickamo Super Stocks). Pursley, who's driven Modifieds and B Mods at Lucas Oil Speedway during his young career, and also dabbled in sprint cars, was ecstatic in victory lane. He grew up coming to the track watching his dad, Jason Pursley, race Modifieds. "First of all I have to say thank you God for even letting me be here and do this," Pursley said. "But it does feel good. I'd like to say happy birthday to my mom and happy Father's Day to my dad and all the other fathers. "I don't even know what to say. I was so nervous. I had to go (to the bathroom) before (the race) and I didn't even go. I was too nervous. I want to thank my wife for being here. I don't know, just everybody who helps me." Pursley started on the pole and opened a half-second lead over Cornell by lap 10. The second half of the race saw Cornell move to the high groove in turns three and four and the low side in one and two in an effort to chase down the leader. Meanwhile, Morton advanced into third with those three well ahead of the field. As Cornell and Morton battled it out over the final laps, Pursley was able to take it to the checkers for a .457-second win over Cornell. Morton wound up third with Tucker Cox fourth and Cole Henson fifth. The Challenge Cup events pay extra money with $1,000 going to the winners in the USRA Modifieds and Late Models, and $750 to win the other three classes. Gaggero prevails in Modifieds: Eighth-starting Wyatt Gaggero took command after a caution midway through the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified feature and drove away from there for his first win of the season. Gaggero, from Wichita, Kan., beat Henry Chambers by more than three seconds to pick up the $1,000 victory. Chase Sigg led the opening lap before Chambers took the top spot on lap two. Chambers opened a three-second lead over Gaggero before a lap-nine caution wiped away that margin. The yellow was exactly what Gaggero needed, as he took the lead on the restart. Gaggero dominated form there and wound up prevailing by 3.4 seconds over Chambers by the finish. Sigg was third with Paden Phillips fourth and Cole Campbell fifth. Sheets takes B-Mod victory: Jon Sheets' flag-to-flag victory in the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature saw him beat J.T. Carroll by just over a half-second. It was Sheets' second feature win of the season at Lucas Oil Speedway. Sheets, of Nevada, grabbed the lead at the start after a melee before an official lap could be completed saw several cars either eliminated or head ot the pits. He opened a 1.5-second margin over Morton by the halfway point on lap 10 with 12th-starting J.T. Carroll into third and Kris Jackson, who started 14th, into fourth. Morton rolled to a stop atop turn two on lap 11 to bring out a caution and put an end his chances. Sheets maintained his lead as the race remained caution-free the rest of the way and held off Carroll by .602 seconds. "I guess on that start I was moving pretty well and I saw carnage everywhere," Sheets said. "It was a long race. The race track was good, maybe a little bit top-dominant but the track must have been pretty good as the 66 (Ryan Gillmore) went to the tail and raced back up to third." Gillmore was third with Jackson fourth and Cayden Stacye fifth. Ewing wins Super Stocks thriller: Blaine Ewing of Green Ridge, Mo., made the sixth and final lead change the winner, coming out of the final turn, beating teammate Terry Schultz for the Hickamo Super Stock feature. It appeared that Schultz would pick up the win before Ewing ran him down in sight of the finish line. Ewing's margin at the checkers was .228 seconds in his first Lucas Oil Speedway win of 2026. "Honestly I didn't even see the white flag," Ewing said. "It just worked out for us. That's our other team car. I know it real well and it's fast. This place has been kryptonite for me these last couple of years, but I think we're finally starting to get it figured out." Pole starter and first-lap leader Mike Striegel saw his car lose power entering turn three on lap two. Fortunately, all the cars closing in navigated around him. Ewing led a lap after the restart before Johnny Fennewald took command on lap three. Ewing regained the lead on lap eight, passing Fennewald coming off turn two. But it was Schultz who wrested second from Fennewald on lap 11 before passing Ewing for the top spot the next time around. Ewing worked last-lap magic by using a lapped car as pick in the final turn, passing Schultz for the victory. Fennewald finished third with Aaron Poe fourth and Jacob Rexing fifth. Beck takes Stock Cars feature: Mason Beck of Urbana captured his first victory of the season, leading wire-to-wire in the 20-lap O'Reilly USRA Stock cars feature. Beck started on the pole and set the pace from the start with Jayden Bears of Kansas City giving chase. Those two separated from the field by lap five right before a trio of cautions slowed the action. Bears pulled alongside Beck on lap 12, but was unable to nudge into the lead. The two remained in a tight battle as caution flew on lap 17, just after Beck led by a few inches at the start-finish line. The three-lap shootout to the finish saw Beck hang on to beat William Garner by .816 seconds with Dawson Fennewald third, Darrell Hurt fourth and Bryan White fifth. "After I rolled this thing at (USRA) Nationals last year I haven't felt comfortable in the car and honestly about halfway through the race, I didn't feel comfortable again. It just won't do what I want," Beck said. "In a stacked field like we've got, everybody in here, you can't count out."

- Sheppard Sweeps Opening Night of Mountain Moonshine Classic at Smoky Mountain
MARYVILLE, TN (June 19, 2026) - Brandon Sheppard completed a clean sweep Friday night at Smoky Mountain Speedway, leading all 40 laps of the opening night of the Mountain Moonshine Classic to earn his fourth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of the season. The New Berlin, Illinois driver earned $10,000 for the victory after setting overall fast time, winning his heat race, and capping off a perfect evening in Wieland Victory Lane. The win marked the 40th Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series triumph of Sheppard's career. Sheppard crossed the finish line 1.342 seconds ahead of Dale McDowell, who finished second. Garrett Alberson rounded out the Big River Steel podium in third. Chris Madden and Sam Seawright completed the top five. With championship points leader Hudson O'Neal finishing eighth, Sheppard trimmed his deficit from 150 points to 80 heading into Saturday night's $30,000-to-win Mountain Moonshine Classic finale. "It's hard to win here. It's nothing like any place I grew up racing," Sheppard said in Lucas Oil Victory Lane. "I think we won a Southern All Stars race here a long time ago, but we haven't been able to get it done since. Anytime you can run up front with Dale (McDowell) and those guys at a place like this, you know you've accomplished something." "This is our Eldora car, and I knew it was really good. I was happy with it from hot laps on. The guys did a phenomenal job getting it back together, and it was definitely a fast piece." Sheppard admitted navigating lapped traffic was one of the biggest challenges of the race. "Honestly, while I was leading, I was already thinking about what I was going to do when I got to traffic," he said. "I know better than to try passing those guys on the outside here, but they were racing three-wide in front of me. When Dale showed me a nose, I knew I had to figure out a way to get back by him and get to the bottom. I just bided my time and made it work." McDowell challenged Sheppard on multiple occasions but was never able to complete a pass for the lead. "I think I had a chance, but I hit the wall once and damaged a spoiler support, and that hurt us," McDowell said. "I was trying to widen my entry and thought I had an opening going into turn one. It was a good night for us. Once the race stayed green, I thought lapped traffic might give us an opportunity, but Brandon had really good speed in clean air. We'll work on it and see what we can do tomorrow night." Alberson continued his strong season with a third-place finish and an important gain in the championship standings. "I needed the start to go a little better," Alberson said. "If I could have gotten to Sheppard's door at the start-finish line, maybe it would have been a different race. He did exactly what he was supposed to do. We just need a little bit more. This car is really close, and honestly, this feels like a win for us. This place has been tricky for us in the past, so it's a big confidence boost." Sheppard's winning Mark Richards Racing Rocket Chassis is powered by a Durham Racing Engine and backed by Valvoline, Seubert Calf Ranches, Ace Metal Works, Performance Grading, Petroff Towing, Franklin Enterprises, Sunoco Race Fuels, Gunter's Honey, Stiles Marine and Maintenance, and Collins Brothers Towing. Completing the top ten were Devin Moran, Ricky Thornton Jr., Hudson O'Neal, Chris Ferguson, and Josh Rice. The evening concluded with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series crew chiefs taking center stage in a Crown Vic Challenge. Jason Durham, crew chief for Hudson O'Neal, claimed the victory in the 15-lap event. Danny White, crew chief for Brandon Sheppard, finished second, while Anthony Burroughs, crew chief for Ricky Thornton Jr., rounded out the podium in third.

- Pierce Wins Third Career Show-Me 100 After Starting 20th
WHEATLAND, MO (May 24, 2026) - Bobby Pierce of Oakwood, Illinois charged from the 20th starting position to capture the 34th Annual Show-Me 100 presented by Ace Doran Hauling & Rigging on Sunday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Pierce took the lead on lap 61 and led the remainder of the 100-lap feature to earn $75,000 and secure his second consecutive Show-Me 100 victory. The win marked Pierce's first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series triumph of the 2026 season and his third career victory in the prestigious Crown Jewel event. Brandon Sheppard advanced from sixth to finish second, while Jonathan Davenport—who led a race-high 54 laps—rounded out the Big River Steel podium in third. Garrett Alberson finished fourth, and current Series points leader Hudson O'Neal completed the top five. Davenport and Josh Rice started on the front row after winning Friday night's Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson and Cowboy Classic features, respectively. Davenport led the opening 17 laps before Rice surged to the front and paced the field for six circuits. Davenport reclaimed the lead on lap 24 and appeared in control until lap 61, when he pushed high exiting turn two, allowing both Pierce and Sheppard to drive past. Pierce then pulled away to win by 1.296 seconds over Sheppard. With the victory, Pierce became the first driver to win back-to-back Show-Me 100s since Jimmy Owens accomplished the feat in 2012 and 2013. The win was the 30th Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of Pierce's career, tying him with Billy Moyer and Wendell Wallace as three-time winners of the event, which began in 1993. "We were off during the preliminary nights again this year, and honestly I didn't think we had a shot to win like we did last year," Pierce said in Lucas Oil Victory Lane. "The rain changed everything, and the track crew gave us a completely different racetrack. You never run the same setup here—it keeps you guessing." "The racetrack had a lot of character tonight, and luckily it suited us. My guys worked their butts off all weekend. Every time we came into the pits, we changed something. Saying we threw the kitchen sink at it is probably an understatement." Sheppard was attempting to improve on his previous best Show-Me 100 finish of second, which came in 2021. "I think we had a little different tire combination than Bobby," Sheppard said. "I felt like I couldn't run many laps around the top before it started to go away, so I was trying to really hit the bottom in turns three and four and slowly creep toward him. I probably didn't move around enough, but I was trying to take care of my tires. A lot of guys on the same tire strategy faded late." Davenport's race-leading effort ended after contact with the rough surface affected his car during the closing laps. "I don't know if we bent something or what, but we started bottoming out really bad," Davenport said. "I was trying to find the smoothest part of the racetrack. The track crew actually did a really good job because there were multiple grooves at the end. Me, Sheppard, and Pierce were all trying different things. I just couldn't slow down and launch off the bottom like some of those guys could."

- Pierce charges from 20th to victory lane at 34th annual Show-Me 100
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 24, 2026) - The right side of Bobby Pierce's car was beaten and battered in victory lane, even part of the spoiler missing from slapping Lucas Oil Speedway's turn-four cement wall as he charged from his 20th starting position. Turns out that $75,000 will buy plenty of sheet metal. Finding speed that had been missing all weekend, using holes in the dirt surface and contact with the wall as a springboard, Pierce successfully defended his title at Sunday night's 34th annual Show-Me 100 Presented by Ace Doran Hauling and Rigging. Pierce had to win a B-Main to make the starting field for the 100-lap feature. He took the lead on lap 61 and held off Brandon Sheppard and Jonathan Davenport the rest of the way. The Oakwood, Ill., driver also won the race in 2017. He became only the fourth driver with three or more Show-Me 100 victories joining the late Scott Bloomquist, Jimmy Owens and Wendell Wallace in that exclusive club. Owens was the last back-to-back winner, winning three straight in 2011, 2012 and 2013. "Man, that's awesome," Pierce said. "I remember when I was first getting started in Late Models, Jimmy Owens was the guys to beat here, and Scott, of course. Just an incredible group of guys. They're both from Tennessee and this track is a mixture of Tennessee and Illinois, man. The middle you have to drive like it's Tennessee and the top you have to drive like Illinois. "It's just awesome to be a part of that list and come back and repeat this thing. This is the reason we came here. I think we're the only (World of Outlaws) guy to show up. We had a tough last weekend last week, we have a tough week ahead of us. We really needed to get home today so we could work on a new car, but came to defend our title and it worked out." Delayed one day by rain, the program saw preliminary feature winners Davenport and Josh Rice on the front row. Pierce, who struggled mightily on Thursday and Friday, won the second B-Main to start outside of row 10. Optimism was not soaring on race day, but Pierce and his team were the personification of determination. He said a reporter asked him on Saturday about his chances and he shook his head. It was a year ago when he started eighth and captured the lead on lap 69 and never gave it up. "I kind of sucked on the prelim nights and ended up winning on Saturday," Pierce said of his 2025 win. "I said, 'man, we are way off. I don't see that happening at all.' But it rained and man, they give us a different race track every night. It keeps us guessing. "Where the holes were, I was making speed so I was trying to hit them." Pierce led the final 39 laps this time after Davenport paced 54 of the first 60. It didn't take long for Pierce to charge from 20th into the top 10 in an event that had five cautions, the final one on lap 93 that gave Sheppard and Davenport one final chance to chase him down. "I couldn't run very many laps around the top before I started to feel bad," said Sheppard, of New Berlin, Ill. "I was just trying ... if I could hit two laps in a row right in three and four, I could creep to him a little bit. I felt like I was pretty good in one and two, I just didn't really move around as much as I needed to. "I was just trying to take care of my tires and a lot of guys who ran the same tire combination I did fell back." Davenport and Rice ran 1-2 in the early going. The leaders caught lapped traffic by lap 12 and the first lead change came on lap 18 when Rice went around Davenport on the outside off turn two. Davenport returned the favor and took the lead away from Rice on lap 24 at the same place on the track, with Sheppard third and Hudson O'Neal fourth. Pierce had charged to sixth from 20th by lap 35 as the long green-flag run continued. Caution No. 1 flew on lap 41 as Davenport held a two-second lead over Rice with Sheppard, O'Neal and Pierce rounding out the top five. Sheppard took second away from Rice two laps after the restart as Davenport bolted to a 1.8-second lead. Pierce's march took him to second on lap 58 with a slider on Sheppard in turns three and four. As Pierce closed on Davenport, Clay Stuckey and Mason Oberkramer spun to bring out a caution on lap 59. That was all Pierce needed as he would soon take advantage on a rare Davenport mistake after the restart. Davenport slipped high in turn two and Pierce slid past on the inside to take the lead. Pierce quickly opened a one-second lead over Sheppard with Davenport settling into third, four seconds behind Pierce. Lapped traffic was no problem for Pierce, who doubled the size of his lead by lap 73 with O'Neal taking third away from Davenport. Pierce held a two-second lead with 20 to go. Things got more interesting on lap 83 when caution No. 4 waved for debris on the track, from part of Pierce's spoiler. Davenport passed Sheppard on the restart and gave chase to Pierce, who continually pop the outside wall in turn four. Sheppard went back to second on lap 86. Pierce said that hitting the wall coming off turn four actually helped him gain speed off the turn at times. The speedway reworked turns three and four in the offseason, taking out the shelf atop the turns with banking progressing all the way to the wall. Even though he's notorious for seeking the high groove, as is necessary in many tracks in his home state, Pierce said he was skeptical about the cushion getting to the wall. "I was pretty pessimistic. I told a bunch of fans back (in the pits) that I don't see (the cushion) getting up there. I think it's too flat, but we'll see," Pierce said. "It got up there.: Pierce held a 1.2-second lead on lap 93 when the fifth caution, again for debris. That set the stage for a seven-lap shootout. Continuing to live on the edge of the top groove, Pierce held on and beat Sheppard by 1.3 seconds. "Luckily just the way the track was and the car was great, too," Pierce added. "My guys worked their butts off this weekend. Every time we were in the pits, we were changing something. Throwing the kitchen sink at it is an understatement." Davenport settled for third with Alberson fourth and O'Neal fifth. "I don't know if we bent something, but we started bottoming out really bad through the middle," Davenport said. "We were just trying to find the smoothest place. They did a pretty good job, the track crew. There were three lanes at the end and me and Sheppard and Pierce were all trying to do something different. "I guess third is better than a poke in the eye, but leading so much and we've been so good here that is just sucks to run third." Rice faded to 14th and the top local finisher was Urbana's Dillon McCowan, who wound up 12th. Ingram wins USRA Stock Cars: Eddie Ingram of Linn Valley, Kan., took the lead on lap six and drove away to the O'Reilly USRA Stock Cars feature prior to the Show-Me 100. Pole-starting Shayne Bailey checked out to a sizable lead over Ingram and William Garner by the first caution on lap five. Ingram took the lead away on the restart with Fennewald rallying from fifth to second. Bailey pulled off the track the next time around, leaving Ingram and Fennewald running 1-2 at the halfway point. Action was slowed again on lap 11 for a three-car spin in turn four, wiped out Ingram's 1.4-second lead. Ingram quickly rebuilt, even extending his leading margin after the restart. He kept pouring in on and beat Jayden Bears by 1.7 seconds. Garner finished third with Fennewald fourth and Mason Beck fifth. "This track was awesome. It doesn't get any better than this," Ingram said in victory lane. "It's a super cool place and I"m glad they had us down here. There's not a bad car in the whole field. It was fun to race with those guys."

- Rice Wins Cowboy Classic on Friday Night at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO (May 22, 2026) - Josh Rice of Crittenden, Kentucky led the final six laps Friday night to capture the Cowboy Classic at Lucas Oil Speedway, earning his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of the 2026 season. Rice, the current O'Reilly Auto Parts Rookie of the Year points leader, collected $10,000 for his third career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory. Garrett Alberson, who was forced to a backup car after flipping while leading his heat race, finished second. Chris Ferguson stormed from the 14th starting position to take the lead on lap eight and ultimately rounded out the Big River Steel podium in third. Current Midwest Sheet Metal championship points leader Hudson O'Neal finished fourth, while Brandon Overton completed the top five. Overton led the opening seven laps of the 45-lap feature, which had been postponed 24 hours due to Thursday night rain. Ferguson then charged from the outside of row seven to the lead in just eight laps and appeared poised for victory after pacing the field for the next 25 circuits. Alberson took command on lap 33, setting up a thrilling three-car battle between Alberson, Ferguson, and Rice. Working the bottom groove to perfection, Rice surged past both drivers on lap 40 and held on the rest of the way for the victory. Rice's previous two Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series wins both came at his home track, Florence Speedway, where he is a two-time Ralph Latham Memorial winner. Friday's triumph came in his first-ever start at Lucas Oil Speedway. "I can't thank James Ratliff enough for sticking with me," Rice said in Lucas Oil Victory Lane. "I was doubting myself and wondering what in the world I had done. We tried some things Thursday, and this car has been so good. We just missed it on tires in that first race, and I thought we'd be much better than we were." "This place is awesome. If you didn't enjoy that race, you probably need to go home because that was a good one. Coming here, I didn't think this was a place we could win at - I just wanted to survive the weekend. I definitely didn't think my first Longhorn win would come in a Lucas Oil race." Alberson overcame a difficult night and still put himself in position to contend for the win. "I really wanted that one bad," Alberson said. "It's been a long day, and I made too many mistakes there late and knocked the spoiler off. But my dad always taught us to keep a good attitude. The first time I crashed a race car, they told me to get right back in another one. That's just racing." Ferguson, who earlier in the evening finished second to Jonathan Davenport in the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson feature, led a race-high 25 laps before fading late. "This race car was awesome," Ferguson said. "We broke some stuff there at the end and just couldn't race with those guys the last couple laps. But it was definitely 'cowboy up' tonight, and honestly I had a blast. We passed a lot of really good cars. Congrats to Josh and Garrett - that was a fun race." Rice's winning James, Jennifer, and Justin Ratliff/Ratliff Motorsports Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Vic Hill Racing Engine and backed by Glenwood Electric, MC Tank, Rice Excavating and Plumbing, Chain Locker, MGL Auto Sales, Jessie Insurance Agency, Lonkard Construction, JRR Motor Sales, JRR Trucking, Berea Collision, Keltner Contracting, Sunoco Race Fuels, and Big Al's Guns and Outdoors. Completing the top ten were Jonathan Davenport, Dillon McCowan, Brian Shirley, Max Blair, and Brandon Sheppard.

- Rice, Davenport win Show-Me 100 preliminaries with Saturday finale next at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 22, 2026) - The best was saved for last on Friday night at Lucas Oil Speedway as Josh Rice captured a wildly entertaining Cowboy Classic to conclude Night 2 of the 34th annual Show-Me 100 Presented by Ace Doran Hauling and Rigging. Rice, leading contender for Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Rookie of the Year, took the lead with five laps to in the 45-lapper, which had been postponed due to rain on Thursday night. Earlier, Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, Ga., led all 40 laps to win the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson as drivers earned points in both features toward the starting lineup for Saturday night's $75,000-to-win, 100-lap feature. "It's cool," Rice said in victory lane. "That has to be a race of the year candidate. Man, that was awesome. I'm speechless, honestly. I did not think I was gonna show up here and be good. It's crazy. I can't thank everybody enough." Rice, 27, is making his first appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway. After setting fast qualifying time for the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson portion of the program he finished eight in that feature and is assured of starting near the front of Saturday's finale. In a race with three leaders on a track that third-place Chris Ferguson said was definitely "cowboy up," there was no lacking of action. Ferguson went from 14th at the start to the lead in just eight laps and led a race-high 25 laps. In a wild, three-way battle with the laps ticking away and cars bouncing about, Rice took the lead as Ferguson slipped and Garrett Alberson - who had quite the night himself - went into second. Alberson, of Las Cruces, N.M., destroyed his primary car in a wild flip in turn one while leading the first heat of the Gibson Tribute program. He unloaded a backup car and settled for 25th in that feature before refocusing after the wild ride for the Cowboy Classic feature. "Luckily my dad instilled in us good attitudes. One of the first days I ever drove a race car, I crashed the bejesus out of it and he told me I had to get back in another one. It's like get back on the horse, it's part of it." Davenport shredded a tire on lap 11 to bring out the caution. Alberson settled into second behind Ferguson after the restart, a second back Ferguson by lap 20 as Rice moved to third. By lap 25, the top two had separated with Rice, Ricky Thornton Jr. and Hudson O'Neal battling for third. Meanwhile, local fans were cheering LOLMDS rookie Dillon McCowan of nearby Urbana. After taking a provisional and starting 25th, McCowan had charged to sixth just in front of Davenport, who was rallying from his early race flat. The yellow-flag parade continued with another on lap 30 as Clay Stuckey slowed with a right-rear issue. Rice had just taken over second with Alberson third with 15 to go. This time Ferguson couldn't hold off the pursuers as Alberson took advantage of the restart by sliding around Ferguson on lap 33. The leaders caught lapped traffic with five to go, darting and diving out of turn four with Rice emerging in front to complete lap 40. Rice, the leader of the series Rookie of the Year chase, took it home from there by beating Alberson by 2.4 seconds for his third LOLMDS feature win. "This place is awesome. If you didn't enjoy that, you need to go home," Rice said as fans cheered his victory lane interview. "Coming here I did not think this was gonna be a place ... I just wanted to get through it. I didn't think we'd be a contender." Ferguson, the 2022 Show-Me 100 winner, settled for third with O'Neal fourth, Overton fifth, Davenport sixth and McCowan seventh. "This race car was awesome. I hated that we broke some stuff and couldn't race with them guys the last couple of laps," Ferguson said. "I've got a lot of stuff to fix for tomorrow. I had a blast out there and passed a lot of good cars. Congrats to Josh and Garrett. I'm a little disappointed, but that was a fun race." The 13th annual Cowboy Classic honors the late Allen "Cowboy" Chancellor, long-time owner-promoter of the MLRA Late Model Series. Davenport rolls in Gibson Tribute: Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, Ga., made quick work of the field in winning the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson, leading all 40 laps in an event that took only 13 minutes to complete. There was just one caution, on lap two. Davenport was unstoppable - as he so often is at Wheatland. "Set-up wise we were pretty close. I could run the top, the bottom and the middle," Davenport said after the $10,000 victory, the first of two features on the evening for the Late Models. Davenport set the pace from the start, with a lap two spin by Garrett Alberson briefly slowing the action. When the 40-lapper resumed, Davenport opened a 1.6-second lead over Chris Ferguson after just five laps and nearly two seconds by lap 10. Eighth-starting Brandon Overton moved to third by that point. Ferguson, of Mt. Holly, N.C., sliced the deficit to just under one second over the next five circuits as the leaders began to deal with lapped traffic. As the race continued a lengthy green-flag run, Davenport was able to maintain his margin by the mid point with Ferguson and Overton continuing to run 2-3 as 14th-starting Brandon Sheppard advanced into fourth. "We got held up there when we first caught lapped traffic because I didn't really know where to go," Davenport said. "Once I felt like I couldn't move around, then we got rolling pretty good." Sheppard grabbed third on lap 29, but Davenport was beginning to check out as he led Ferguson by 2.8 seconds with Sheppard another 1.2 behind Ferguson. Without a caution to give anyone else a chance, Davenport continued to pour it on. He wound up 3.66 seconds in front of Ferguson at the finish in taking his 11th victory at Lucas Oil Speedway since the spring of 2023 and 96th career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win. It was win No. 4 on the series this season. "This race track changed like five different times during that feature and I think it was about ready to change one more time," Davenport said. "I tried to miss the holes whenever I could. It had a little character to it, but what an awesome race track." Sheppard finished third with Overton fourth and Mason Oberkramer fifth. Seriers points leader and 2021 Show-Me 100 winner Hudson O'Neal was sixth. "The track had character and we weren't really ready for that," said Ferguson. "I was cowboy-ing up there a couple of times. But JD's so good here, he was kind of setting his own pace. It was hard to dodge the holes and also dodge the lapped cars. "I saw he was struggling with a couple of them and it kind of let me get close, then he got by them. I'm just tickled to be here." A total of 51 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and 27 Hickamo Super Stocks drivers checked into the pits. The three-night event, which culminates with Saturday's $75,000-to-win, 100-lap main event, pays $10,000 to win the preliminary Late Model features. Drivers accumulate points on their finishes both nights to help set the lineup for Saturday night's finale. Rice was the Allstar Performance fast qualifier, with a time at 15.198 seconds out of Group A. Davenport paced Group B for the second straight night, at 15.257 seconds. The race honored Don and Billie Gibson, who started the Show-Me 100 in 1993 at their West Plains Motor Speedway. Schultz grabs Hickamo Super Stocks win: Terry Schultz of Sedalia led wire-to-wire in the 20-lap Hickamo Super Stocks feature, beating his teammate Blaine Ewing. "It was lucky we started up front because I think it was gonna be tricky to pass," Schultz said, noting his front row starting spot. After three cautions in the first nine laps, Schultz dominated the final half of the race. He pulled away to win by about five car lengths over Ewing with Mike Striegel holding off Johnny Fennewald for third. Finale on Saturday: Opening ceremonies are set for 6:45 p.m. Saturday with B-Mains and the Midwest Sheet Metal Challenge setting the final lineup for rthe $75,000-to-win 100-lap main event. O'Reilly USRA Stock Cars also will beon the program. Colonel Joshua Pope, the Commander at the 509th Maintenance Group, Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri will serve as Grand Marshal as Lucas Oil Speedway pays tribute to the active military and veterans during the Memorial Day Weekend. Kansas native Travis Marvin will perform the National Anthem during Saturday's opening ceremonies.

- Davenport Wins Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO (May 22, 2026) - Jonathan Davenport continued his dominance at Lucas Oil Speedway during the 2026 season, capturing the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson on Friday night at the "Diamond of Dirt Tracks." The three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion remained undefeated at the Wheatland facility this season after sweeping the April events and adding another victory Friday night. The win marked Davenport's fourth LOLMDS triumph of 2026 and the 96th Series victory of his career. Chris Ferguson, the 2022 Show-Me 100 winner, moved into second on lap two and remained there the rest of the race, finishing more than three seconds behind Davenport in the $10,000 main event. Brandon Sheppard charged from the 14th starting position to round out the Big River Steel podium in third. Brandon Overton finished fourth, while Missouri driver Mason Oberkramer recorded the best LOLMDS finish of his career in fifth. Davenport, seeking his third career Show-Me 100 victory on Saturday night, led all 40 laps in the first of two feature events contested Friday after Thursday's rain-postponed Cowboy Classic was added to the schedule. "I think the track was really maneuverable," Davenport said in Lucas Oil Victory Lane. "It changed five different times during the feature, and I felt like it was about to change one more time near the end. Once the middle started rolling and those wet crumbs moved up toward the cushion, I thought the top might come back in." "The track had a lot of character to it, and we raced all over it. I got held up a little when I first caught traffic because I wasn't sure where to go, but once I figured out where I could move around, we got rolling pretty good." Ferguson, who started fourth, stayed within striking distance for much of the race but settled for second. "We went a little harder on tires than most people, and honestly I don't think we were fully ready for how much character the track had," Ferguson said. "JD is so good here. He could kind of set his own pace, but I tried to keep pressure on him whenever I could. He was probably the better car—I just struggled getting through traffic." Sheppard continued his recent momentum with another podium finish and now sits second in the championship standings behind Hudson O'Neal. "Our car was really good once we could move around and manage our tires," Sheppard said. "We've struggled more than we wanted to early in the night, but once the track slows down, our balance really comes to us. I'm still trying to figure out how to qualify fast here because it's definitely tricky." Davenport's winning Lance and Darla Landers/Double L Motorsports Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and backed by Ace Doran Hauling & Rigging, Nutrien Ag Solutions, ASC Warranty, Mark Martin Automotive, and Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas. Completing the top ten were Hudson O'Neal, Chase Junghans, Josh Rice, Brian Shirley, and Daniel Hilsabeck.

- Rain postpones Show-Me 100 opening feature until Friday night at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 21, 2026) - Mother Nature claimed the victory on opening night of the 34th annual Show-Me 100 Presented by Ace Doran Hauling and Rigging at Lucas Oil Speedway. Rain began falling as the second B feature concluded and didn't relent for several hours. Thursday's 45-lap main event, in honor of the late Allen "Cowboy" Chancellor, a long-time owner and promoter of the MLRA, will conclude Friday night's regularly scheduled program. The revised schedule for the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson, founders of the Show-Me 100 at West Plains Motor Speedway, will find hot laps starting at 6 p.m., a half-hour earlier than originally scheduled. Qualifying and heats follow prior to B-Mains and the feature. The Hickamo Super Stocks also will be in action with the Cowboy Classic feature wrapping the action. A total of 51 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series drivers checked into the pits. The three-night event, which culminates with Saturday's $75,000-to-win, 100-lap main event, pays $10,000 to win the preliminary Late Model features. Drivers will accumulate points on their finishes both nights to help set the lineup for Saturday night's finale. Brandon Overton of Evans, Ga., was the Allstar Performance fast qualifier, with a time at 15.306 seconds out of Group A. Jonathan Davenport paced Group B at 15.347 seconds. Overton also won his heat race to grab the pole to start the feature with Bobby Pierce of Oakwood, Ill., starting alongside as Heat 3 winner.

- Myers, Wagner, White win as Rod End Supply "Road to the Hockett" begins at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 16, 2026) - West coast native Joel Myers Jr., continued a successful trek through mid-America with a dominant win as the Rod End Supply "Road to the Hockett" kicked off Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. The 20-year-old Myers started on the pole and led all the way to capture the POWRi Winged 410 Sprint feature win, worth $5,000, and getting a leg up in the four-race series that leads to an open-wheel crown jewel in September. Other winners in the opener of the "Road to the Hockett" series were Jack Wagner (POWRi WAR Sprints) and Peyton White (POWRi/IMCA WOW 305 Sprints). The series points champ after the four races in the POWRi 410 Winged Springs and POWRi WAR will receive an automatic bid into this fall's 16th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial, Sept. 17-19. Other rounds on the Rod End Supply Road to the Hockett: Round 2 on June 27, Round 3 on Aug. 1 and Championship Night on Aug. 22. Myers drives to POWRi 410 Sprints win: Joel Myers Jr. of Santa Rosa, Calif., led all 25 laps to outduel 10th-starting Landon Crawley for the POWRi 410 Sprint feature. Myers also won at 36 Speedway in the division on Friday night. Myers led Marcus Thomas as the front-row starters set the early pace with Miles Paulus going from sixth to third, before a red flag brought action to a half as Jack Potter rolled his car onto its side in turn one. The restart saw Paulus continue his charge as he drove into second with Thomas fading quickly to 10th. Meanwhile, Myers was pulling away, opening a 2.2-second lead over Paulus by lap nine. Paulus cut into the lead as Myers battled lapped traffic, pulling within 1.3 seconds by lap 15. One lap later, Landon Crawley completed a slider to get around Paulus for second, but that allowed Myers to extend his lead to two seconds with just six to go. Myers continued to sail from there, beating Crawley by 2.9 seconds at the finish. "This is a testament to the (crew) guys busting their butts," Myers said in victory lane. "I had a driver error on Tuesday (at Fremont Speedway) and it destroyed a race car. They kept their heads high and build a whole new race car. This weekend was really good." Myers said hitting his marks consistently in lapped traffic kept him in good shape over the final half of the race. "They really hit it on the race track tonight," Myers said. "It had a bottom, a middle and a top. I'm glad they decided not to re-work it. A big goal this weekend was to work on decision making in lapped traffic because that's what wins races." Xavier Doney rallied from eighth to third with Paulus settling for fourth and Nixa's Kyle Bellm was fifth. Jack Wagner previews in POWRi WAR Sprints: Fourth-starting Jack Wagner of Lone Jack took the lead with six laps remaining and held off Nixa's Wesley Smith to capture the POWRi WAR Sprint feature victory. "They really had my number there until about halfway to go," an excited Wagner said in victory lane. "I'm so excited, I can't see straight. I am a non-wing winner at Lucas Oil Speedway." Third-starting Wyatt Burks made an inside pass on Smith out of turn four to take the lead on lap three, seconds before a caution flew for a spin by Jesse Bebee. Just one lap was completed before Bebee spun again to bring out caution No. 2. Once the field starting stacking green-flag laps, Burks was able to open a half-second lead by lap 10, but Smith moved to the high groove and cut the lead to a car length when caution came out again on lap 12 when fourth-running Samuel Wagner rolled to a stop trying to exit the track. Burks continued to maintain the lead after the restart as Jack Wagner moved past Smith for second on lap 13. Caution No. 4 flew two laps later when Brett Combs' car dropped fluid in turn four. Wagner grabbed the lead on lap 19 coming off turn four. He rolled from there, expanding his margins to more than a second by lap 22 and taking the checkers over Smith by 2.7 seconds with Burks third and Chase Howard fourth. "Jack's been working his tail off to get to victory lane at Lucas Oil Speedway and hats off to him," Smith said. "Everybody did a great job here tonight, Jack was just better than us." White takes POWRi/IMCA WOW 305 victory: Peyton White, a 15-year-old from LaMonte, Mo., lost the lead to Laney Moore briefly before rallying to regain the top spot and held off Moore for the 305 Winged Sprint victory. Peyton White set the early pace over Laney Moore with Monty Ferriera third as action settled into a rhythm after two early stoppages. White had nearly a one-second lead at the mid point on lap 10 as he started to encounter lapped traffic. That allowed Moore to close in within a couple of car lengths. Moore took over the lead on lap 15, but White grabbed it back the next time around. The two battled it out, side-by-side at times the rest of the way and White was able to prevail by .629 seconds. Ferriera was third with Mike Trent fourth and Randy Martin finishing fifth.

- O'Neal Captures High Bank Heist Opener at Eagle Raceway
EAGLE, NE (May 14, 2026) - Current Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points leader Hudson O'Neal of Martinsville, Indiana charged from the seventh starting position to capture his fifth Series victory of the 2026 season Thursday night during opening night of the Malvern Bank High Bank Heist at Eagle Raceway. O'Neal collected $10,000 for the win, which also marked his 13th overall dirt late model victory of the year. Ricky Thornton Jr., who started 15th, earned Hoker Trucking Hard Charger honors as he rallied to finish second. Brandon Sheppard, fresh off last Saturday's victory at Fairbury Speedway, rounded out the Big River Steel podium in third after starting 10th. Max Blair finished fourth, while Jonathan Davenport completed the top five. Brandon Overton led the opening 17 laps of the 40-lap main event before Garrett Alberson briefly took over the top spot for three circuits. Overton regained the lead on lap 21 and appeared poised for victory until O'Neal began closing rapidly in the closing stages. O'Neal completed the winning pass exiting turn four on lap 30. Overton remained second until lap 34, when a flat left rear tire forced him to the hot pit. After changing the tire, Overton returned to finish 16th after leading 27 laps. The win marked the 39th Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of O'Neal's career and his second triumph at Eagle Raceway, having also won during the Series' inaugural visit to the track in 2024. "I felt like we were pretty good all night," O'Neal said in Lucas Oil Victory Lane. "The top was dominant early, and it was hard to make time on the bottom. Once the track started moving around, though, I felt really good down there. Overton was definitely better around the cushion, but once the bottom came in, I just tried to stay patient and wait for my opportunity." "We finally got a restart where I could get underneath him, and then he had the misfortune with the flat tire. On that last restart, my carburetor stumbled a little bit and I thought everybody was going to pile into me. I'm sorry if anybody got caught up in that." Thornton, who unloaded a backup car after issues surfaced during hot laps, charged from the eighth row to finish just 0.616 seconds behind O'Neal. "I love this place," Thornton said. "We had trouble with the primary car in hot laps, so we unloaded this one and probably overdrove in qualifying, which made for a long night. But we passed a lot of cars, and the car felt really good." "Restarts really dictated where you needed to be. I knew Max (Blair) wasn't going to the top, and if JD left the top open, I was going for it. I got a really good run and just tried not to get stuck following Hud around the bottom." Sheppard continued his recent momentum with a third-place finish after charging forward from 10th. "Honestly, I felt like we had a really good race car the whole race," Sheppard said. "I just made a couple wrong moves early—stayed too high too long, then stayed too low too long before halfway. Once everyone started moving around, I could really roll the track and move wherever I needed to. We had a really fast race car tonight." O'Neal's winning SSI Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and backed by Big River Steel, Wheeler Metals, Merrill Bonding Company, Professional Concrete Cutting and Drilling, O'Neal's Salvage and Recycling, Lineal Contracting, Seven Spurs Ranch, Sub Surface of Indiana, Beeman Lumber, Indiana USSSA Fast Pitch Softball, Dicky's Doghouse, Lucas Oil Products, Penske Racing Shocks, and Sunoco Race Fuels.

- Sheppard Banks $30,000 in FALS Spring Shootout at Fairbury
FAIRBURY, IL (May 9, 2026) - Brandon Sheppard of New Berlin, Illinois charged to victory Saturday night at Fairbury Speedway, winning the FALS Spring Shootout presented by Titan Industries. The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing event paid $30,000 to the winner. Sheppard took the lead from Brian Shirley on lap 13 and led the remainder of the race, holding off a late charge from Nick Hoffman over the final five laps to secure his 38th career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory and his 17th career win at Fairbury Speedway. Shirley, who led the opening 12 laps, rounded out the Big River Steel podium in third. Brandon Overton finished fourth, while Bobby Pierce completed the top five. The victory marked Sheppard's fourth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season and his seventh overall triumph of 2026. With the win, he moves to third in the championship standings heading into next weekend's events at Eagle Raceway in Nebraska. "This feels awesome. It seems like it's been forever since we won here," Sheppard said in Lucas Oil Victory Lane. "We always seem to win prelims at the Prairie Dirt Classic, but these bigger races have avoided me for a while, so it's really special to win one here tonight." "When I was growing up, I dreaded coming to Fairbury because it's so tough to win here. It takes such a different driving style, and the track changes so much throughout the night. The last eight laps, I felt like I was hanging on for dear life. I think the right rear tire may have been going down after I ran over something during that caution, but this car is an absolute dream to drive right now." Hoffman, seeking his second career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory, started seventh and finished just 0.423 seconds behind Sheppard in the Tye Twarog Motorsports entry. Hoffman moved into second with 10 laps remaining after Clay Harris—who advanced from 12th to second by lap 21 - was slowed in lapped traffic. "He's the Fairbury GOAT," Hoffman said of Sheppard. "There were times I felt like I could gain a little on him, and I was hoping we'd get back to lapped traffic after that caution. But he was just better than me up on the cushion and could really pull away down the straightaways. The biggest thing is learning something for when we come back for the Prairie Dirt Classic." Shirley, who started from the pole, was also eligible for the $1,000 Steering Buddy Darkhorse Award, presented to a first-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series feature winner in a full-points event. "I think it's honestly just track time here," said the defending Prairie Dirt Classic champion, who is following the LOLMDS full time for the first time in his career. "We haven't had enough laps here yet to get the feel and balance exactly where we need it. But this was a really solid finish for our team and sponsors. We need to focus on consistently finishing races before worrying about winning them. I felt like we had a shot tonight, and while maybe we weren't quite as good as Nick or Sheppy, being this competitive is a huge confidence boost for our team."

- Hudson O'Neal Captures Ralph Latham Memorial Victory at Florence
UNION, KY (May 2, 2026) - Hudson O'Neal of Martinsville, Indiana took the lead on lap three from Jason Jameson and held off Devin Moran to win the 40th Annual Ralph Latham Memorial on Saturday night at Florence Speedway. O'Neal and Moran entered the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series-sanctioned event tied atop the championship standings. With the victory, O'Neal now holds a 30-point advantage over Moran heading into next weekend's events at Farmer City Raceway and Fairbury Speedway. The win marked O'Neal's fourth LOLMDS victory of the season and his 12th overall triumph of 2026, earning him $25,000. Moran finished second, 1.060 seconds behind at the finish, while Ricky Thornton Jr., fresh off his win at Circle City on Friday, rounded out the Big River Steel podium in third. Brandon Sheppard and Garrett Alberson completed the top five. In his 38th career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory, the 2023 Series Champion is now tied for seventh on the all-time wins list with Tim McCreadie and Brandon Sheppard. O'Neal survived a tense finish, brushing the turn four wall multiple times in the closing laps, to secure his first Ralph Latham Memorial victory since 2018. The event had not been contested since 2023 due to weather interruptions in recent years. "I've got to tip my hat to Riley (Sheedy), my body guy," O'Neal said. "With a couple laps to go, I was just trying to get everything I could. I got a little loose and backed it into the fence - I knew it wasn't too bad, but I hate that for him, especially with a short turnaround. We'll get it fixed." "I felt like the track was widening out in turns three and four, and I was just waiting for someone to show me their nose." Moran, still seeking his first win in the event that began in 1987, finished second. "I was really good until that one restart," Moran said. "I thought the top would be better, but Thornton got the bottom. Then on another restart, I got a good run and slid him, but I ended up messing both of us up. I apologized - I should have committed to the fence and given him a chance to cross over. I didn't want to race him like that." Thornton, who won the event the last time it was held in 2023, finished third and commented on the late-race contact. "It was just racing - I told him we're not going golfing together anymore," Thornton joked. "Nothing to be mad about. The track was pretty good. When we come back in August, I think they'll widen turns one and two a bit so the top can keep up. Three and four were really good all night. Honestly, these conditions are where I struggle, so to be close to those guys up front, I'm happy."

- Thornton Denies O'Neal for Circle City Victory on Friday Night
INDIANAPOLIS, IN (May 1, 2026) - Ricky Thornton Jr. tracked down race-long leader Hudson O'Neal and made the winning pass on lap 41, then held on to capture his second Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing victory of the season Friday night at Circle City Raceway. Thornton's 58th career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win earned him $15,000 in the Series' second-ever visit to the Indianapolis facility. O'Neal finished second, with Max Blair rounding out the Big River Steel podium in third. Mike Marlar finished fourth, followed by Devin Moran in fifth. Starting sixth, Thornton now moves into a tie with Brandon Sheppard for fourth in the championship standings heading into Saturday's event at Florence Speedway. "I felt like we had a really good car all night, but I just couldn't quite get it going early. In the feature, everything came together," said the Chandler, Arizona native. "Watching midget and sprint car races here, you know how technical the top can be and that the bottom will eventually come in. Max (Blair) was strong down there, and after that caution, when Marlar chose the bottom, I knew I had to make my move." "I got by Max on the restart, and once I cleared Mikey (Marlar), I felt like I had a shot at Hudson. I knew it might take lapped traffic to slow him down, and it worked out for us." With his runner-up finish, O'Neal is now tied with Moran for the championship points lead heading into the Ralph Latham Memorial at Florence Speedway. "It was probably better not to be the leader at the end," O'Neal said. "Ricky was really good late in the race. He probably saved his tires better than I did and was able to move around more. When you're leading, you're kind of stuck picking a lane and hoping it holds. No excuses—we're happy to finish second, even though it's tough to lead that long and get passed late." Blair continued his strong run, recording his ninth consecutive top five finish. "The restart where Ricky got by me actually helped me a bit," Blair said. "I knew once Marlar picked the bottom on that last restart, it was going to be tough to hold those guys off. It was a lot of fun racing with Ricky for as long as we did." Thornton's winning Koehler Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and backed by Hoker Trucking, Knight's Companies, Coltman Farms Racing, Capital Waste, Strange Oval, Certified Inspection Services, Sunoco Race Fuels, and SI Towing and Recovery. Completing the top ten were Dan Ebert, Josh Rice, Brandon Sheppard, Brandon Overton, and Carson Ferguson.

- Sheppard Handles Hagerstown Field on Sunday Night
HAGERSTOWN, MD (April 26, 2026) - Brandon Sheppard dominated Sunday night at Hagerstown Speedway, capturing the Conococheague 40 for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series in commanding fashion. The New Berlin, Illinois native earned $10,000 for his third LOLMDS victory of the season, taking the lead from Brandon Overton on lap three and pacing the remainder of the race. Sheppard crossed the finish line more than five seconds ahead of Overton, with 11th-starting Hudson O'Neal rounding out the Big River Steel podium in third. Current championship points leader Devin Moran finished fourth, and Max Blair completed the top five. Overton led the opening two laps of the annual event, which marked the Series' 16th appearance at Hagerstown Speedway, before Sheppard surged past him for the top spot on lap three. Once out front, Sheppard quickly built a commanding lead, reaching lapped traffic by lap nine. The race's only caution came on lap 10, but it did little to slow his momentum. On the restart, Sheppard remained firmly in control, leading the rest of the way in a race that featured just one caution flag. The victory marked the 38th of Sheppard's Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series career—and his first at Hagerstown Speedway. "It was awesome. Mark, Dan, Austin, Joel, Steve Baker, and everyone at Rocket Chassis have been working their tails off," Sheppard said. "They've been giving me a great car night in and night out. There's so much competition out here—you can have the fastest car and still not win—but I really feel like we've been fast all year. I don't think I've felt bad at the track once this season." "You never really know how big of a lead you have. My signal guy showed me it was comfortable, but I wasn't overdriving. I was going as fast as my tires would allow. A couple of times I pushed hard and felt the left rear getting hot, so I backed it down and let it come back to me." Overton, who was aiming for a clean sweep of the night, settled for the runner-up finish. "He (Sheppard) had a little different tire than we did. I probably tried to block him too early—I moved down and pushed up the track," Overton said. "Hats off to them—they did a great job. We were good, just not quite good enough." O'Neal, who started sixth row inside, closed the gap late and now sits 25 points behind Moran in the championship standings heading into next weekend's events at Circle City Raceway and Florence Speedway. "We just needed to qualify better," O'Neal said. "We weren't very good in qualifying and probably over-adjusted for the rough conditions. We got back to our normal program for the feature and were really good. We just didn't get a caution at the right time. I was able to close in during lapped traffic, but Brandon was able to navigate through and pull away. Thanks to Hagerstown and Lucas Oil for the effort—they gave us a great racetrack." Sheppard's winning Mark Richards Racing Rocket Chassis is powered by a Durham Racing Engine and backed by Valvoline, Seubert Calf Ranches, Ace Metal Works, Performance Bodies, Petroff Towing, Sunoco Race Fuels, Franklin Enterprises, Gunter's Honey, Stiles Marine and Maintenance, and Collins Brothers Towing. Completing the top ten were Ricky Thornton Jr., Brian Shirley, Kyle Bronson, and Carson Ferguson.

- Chambers wins Modified thriller as Pitts Homes & Realty Challenge Cup debuts at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (April 25, 2025) - Henry Chambers held off Trevor Hughes in a frantic final few laps to earn the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified main event on Saturday night as the Pitts Homes and Realty Challenge Cup debuted at Lucas Oil Speedway. Chambers, of Baldwin City, Kansas, earned a $1,000 prize by beating Hughes by a car length. A total of 122 cars checked into the pits in the five divisions on Ozarks Coca-Cola/Dr Pepper Night at the races, with JC Morton also picking up a $1,000 feature win, in the Hermitage Lumber Late Models. Feature winners taking home $750 were William Garner (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars), Jon Sheets (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Derek Brown (Hickamo Super Stocks). Chambers, 18, took the lead from Hughes on lap 14 just three laps after a caution wiped out Hughes' sizeable lead of nearly three seconds. "The car was working good. I don't know if we would have been able to get by Trevor if we didn't have that caution," Chambers said in victory lane. "Obviously that opened up an opportunity and I didn't let that one go. The race car was really good tonight." Hughes, of Westville, Okla., was the man to beat from the start. He went from third to first on the opening lap and set the pace over Devin Barker as the sixth-starting Chambers moved into third. Chambers and Barker flip-flopped positions on lap four as Hughes opened a 1.5-second lead. Hughes threatened to make it a runaway by lap eight, leading by 2.6 seconds over Chambers as Nic Bidinger took the third spot. Caution on lap 11 wiped out Hughes' 2.4-second lead over Chambers. Chambers jumped to the high side after the restart and it worked, as Chambers took the lead with a first-turn pass on lap 14. One lap later, ninth-starting Wolff sailed around Hughes for second but he jumped the cushion in turn two a lap later to fall back into third. Chambers took advantage of the shuffling behind him and held off Hughes' last-ditch effort to win by a half-second. It was his second USRA Modified win at Lucas Oil Speedway, the other coming in 2024. Bidinger wound up third with Wolff fourth and Cole Campbell fifth. Morton tops Ewing for Late Model win: JC Morton of Springfield held off the defending Hermitage Lumber Late Models track champ Robbe Ewing for his first Challenge Cup feature victory. Tyler Wolff was scheduled to start on the pole but elected to drop to the back for a chance to collect a $500 bonus if he was able to pull off the win. Wolff already had picked up nine positions, moving into fifth by lap four and to fourth by lap six. Morton continued to set a hot pace up front with Ewing second and Tucker Cox third. That's where Wolff's advancement hit a snag with the race remaining under extended green-flag conditions. Morton led Ewing by 1.4 seconds by lap 15 as the top two finishers in the division a year ago picked up where they left off. Two laps later, the race took a turn as the third-running Cox slowed to a stop in turn two, bringing out the caution. That erased Morton's one-second lead over Ewing and put Wolff back into the mix with three laps remaining. But Morton, riding the high groove, held off Ewing by .722 seconds at the checkers with Wolff winding up in third. "They take care of the car each week and have it on spot right now," Morton said of Moon Brothers Racing out of Sedalia, owner of the Late Model. "It's good to start out strong. We struggled in our B-Mod a little bit, but we'll work on that and hopefully we'll keep maintaining this and we'll be here at the end of the year for a championship." Alan Westling finished fourth with Joe Walkenhorst fifth. Garner dominates Stock Cars main event: William Garner of Lebanon led 20 laps to win the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature, beating Jayden Bears by just under one second. Garner opened a 2.7-second lead over fellow front-row starter Christopher Sawyer through eight laps and kept extending the margin as laps ticked away without interruption via a caution. Fourth-starting Jayden Bears went around Sawyer for second on lap 11, but trailed the leader by nearly four seconds. Bears and the rest of the field finally got a new chance to overtake the leader when Dawson Fennewald spun to bring out the race's lone caution on lap 17. Garner had a good restart and went on to prevail by .960 seconds with Grayson McKinney finishing third. "I got a hold of Jason Sivils and we're working on some shocks with him and man, he's got some pretty good stuff," Garner said. "We just need to fine-tune this thing a little bit. I'm not quite where I need to be, but it's pretty good right now." Jeff Tennant was fourth and Butch Bailey finished fifth. USRA B-Mod win goes to Sheets: Nevada's Jon Sheets started up front and led all 20 laps to take the Cleark Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods feature over Kris Jackson. Sheets, the reigning track champ, had opened a 1.8-second lead over Dimmitt when the first caution appeared, on lap three after a pair of cars spun in turn two. Just two laps after the caution, Kris Jackson moved into second after starting fifth. The lead for Sheets grew to three seconds at the halfway mark on lap 10 with Jackson running in front of Dimmitt and J.T. Carroll. Sheets relentlessly kept pulling away, holding a four-second cushion when caution flew on lap 12 for a spinning car in turn two. Sheets maintained command after the restart, riding around the high side of the track. He went on to beat Jackson by 2.3 seconds at the finish with Carroll third, Dimmitt fourth and Tim Karrick fifth. "It's always a stiff field here, especially to point out Kris," Sheets said. "He's won everything there is to win. What a weekend. We picked up a win (Friday at Electric City Speedway). We've had a tear of bad luck all year. We've had some good runs, but haven't had a real good race car yet. Tonight we had a really good race car." Brown wins Super Stocks thriller: Derek Brown of Stoutland made the winning pass entering the final turn of the final lap and held off Johnny Fennewald and Mike Striegel for the Hickamo Super stocks feature. Striegel, who appeared on his way to a hard-fought win, got caught up in lapped traffic in the final turn and that was all that Brown needed to win a thriller. "I knew whatever I was doing, I was coming off the bottom underneath that lapped car," Brown said in victory lane. "I lost a race here last year by trying to pass one of the top and I wasn't gonna let it happen again." Jacob Rexing out dueled Brown as the green waved at the start and set the early pace. He was nearly one second in front of Brown and Striegel when caution slowed the action on lap six. Striegel was dueling with Rexing for the lead just as a caution flew on lap nine. Just two laps later, Striegel was able to complete the pass for the lead, coming out of turn four. Meanwhile, Johnny Fennewald charged into second from his 17th starting position and was right behind Striegel with six to go. Fennewald slipped too high in turn two on lap 17 and fell back to fourth with Brown and Blaine Ewing trailing Striegel. Brown, taking advantage of lapped traffic that bogged down Striegel, made the winning pass in turn four of the final lap. Fennewald rallied into second with Striegel settling for third. Terry Schultz finished fourth and Ewing fell back to fifth. First of five Challenge Cup rounds: Each class will have 10 points races between April 10th and Aug. 29 with a number of other events to be run as non-points events. All 10 Challenge Cup events for each series will have elevated nightly purses. Round Two is set for June 20th, Round 3 on July 18th and Challenge Cup Championship Weekend Aug. 28-29 will make up rounds four and five.

- Steering Buddy Partners with Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series
BATAVIA, Ohio (April 25, 2026) - The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing is excited to announce a new partnership with Steering Buddy, based in Anniston, Alabama. Mike Pearl, founder of the Steering Buddy system, has agreed to sponsor the Dark Horse Winner category for the remainder of the 2026 season. The Dark Horse category will recognize any driver who has never won a full-points Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series feature event and goes on to capture their first Series victory in 2026. Eligible winners will receive an additional $1,000 bonus, courtesy of Steering Buddy. Pearl, who was eager to partner with the Series, saw this initiative as a meaningful way to give back to racers while also promoting his product. Steering Buddy was designed and developed several years ago by Mike Pearl and his son, Grant Pearl, an experienced dirt racing crew member. Maneuvering a race car in and out of a hauler, around the pits, and through technical inspection can be difficult - especially for a single person. To solve this problem, the Pearls created the original Steering Buddy device, which is now widely used across the country to help steer race cars safely and efficiently in pit areas. After four years of development, testing, and refinement - followed by three years of proven success in the field - the Steering Buddy is well-established in the racing industry. To learn more or to order, visit SteeringBuddy.com. "We are incredibly grateful to welcome another partner to the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series—especially one that supports a program giving back to racers," said Wayne Castleberry, Corporate Sales for FloRacing. "We look forward to working with Mike and the entire Steering Buddy team and hope to see a Dark Horse driver in Victory Lane at some point in 2026." For the latest news, results, and championship standings from the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing, please visit LucasDirt.com. About Steering Buddy Located in Anniston, Alabama, Steering Buddy is a division of Hostile Industries. Founder Mike Pearl brings decades of experience as a dirt racer, crew member, and industry professional. Today, he works alongside his family at Hostile Industries LLC, continuing to innovate and support the racing community.

- Moran Goes Back-to-Back in Melvin L. Joseph Memorial at Georgetown
GEORGETOWN, DE (April 24, 2026) - Devin Moran captured the Melvin L. Joseph Memorial for the second consecutive year Friday night at Georgetown Speedway, taking home the $21,049 top prize in the feature event honoring the track's founder. The defending Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion started fifth and charged to the lead on lap seven, passing Hudson O'Neal before pacing the remainder of the 49-lap event for his fifth Series win of the 2026 season. O'Neal finished second, while ninth-starting Max Blair rounded out the Big River Steel podium in third. Brandon Sheppard finished fourth, and Josh Rice impressed in his Georgetown debut, advancing from 16th to complete the top five. O'Neal grabbed the early lead with Ricky Thornton Jr. in pursuit. After leading the first six laps, O'Neal was overtaken by Moran, who made a decisive move to the front on lap seven. Thornton's night came to an abrupt end shortly after when a broken driveshaft forced him to retire to the infield. Following the restart, Moran steadily extended his advantage over O'Neal and Blair. He ultimately crossed the finish line 0.570 seconds ahead of O'Neal, extending his championship points lead to 35 as the Series heads to Hagerstown Speedway on Sunday after Saturday's event at BAPS Motor Speedway was canceled due to weather. Moran's victory marked the 29th of his Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series career, capping off a challenging night filled with adversity. "Today was pretty much what racing is like sometimes—we went from low to high, then back to low again," said the Dresden, Ohio native. "We couldn't hot lap, had to pull out a backup car, set fast time, and even had an oil line come off that caused a fire under the hood. To come back from all that and win is pretty special." "I want to thank Garrett Alberson—he offered us one of his cars if we needed it—and the Rocket 1 team for helping us throughout the night. It was a tough one, but we kept fighting." "I wasn't sure how good the top would be. This is a brand-new car and motor, but we overcame a lot tonight. I was excited to go to BAPS tomorrow, but unfortunately that's canceled. We'll be ready for Hagerstown." O'Neal, who entered the race as the nation's winningest dirt late model driver with 11 victories, came up just short of his fourth Series win of the year. "He showed us a different part of the racetrack," O'Neal said of Moran. "I thought the top would dominate early, but by the time I realized he was making the bottom work, he was already by me. He did a great job, and his car was really good. We just need to be a little better to start the race." Blair's third-place finish moved him up to fourth in the championship standings. "I thought I had a shot—I had just passed Garrett (Alberson), but we didn't get that lap in," Blair said. "I wish we had one more lap so I could've lined up in the second row, but it all worked out. We weren't great in the heat race, but we improved for the feature." Moran's winning Double Down Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and backed by Big River Steel, Millwood Plumbing, C&W Trucking, Phillips CPA, BOMAG, Haulin' Haskell's, CarSourceAuto.com, Anthony's Pizza, Hazen Services, Northeastern Fabrication, McHugh Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Elliott Farms, and Pee Wee's Wrecker Service. Completing the top ten were Carson Ferguson, Daniel Hilsabeck, Garrett Alberson, Clay Harris, and Dillon McCowan. Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Race Summary The Melvin L.

- Madsen leads all the way in High Limit Diamond Classic at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (April 18, 2025) - It was all Kerry Madsen on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway as the 54-year-old native of Australia, who's now based in Knoxville, Iowa, picked up his first career Interstate Batteries High Limit Sprint racing victory. Madsen led all 30 laps to earn the $12,000 prize. He outdistanced runner-up Sue Lynch by 2.79 seconds with Tanner Holmes finishing third. "The car's been super quick every time we've hit the track," Madsen said, noting several competitive runs in the early portion of the High Limit schedule. "The car's been quick every night, which gives you a lot of confidence. "We haven't drawn well in dashes and had some little stuff going on. We drew a good one (tonight) and the car was good and we got the job done. I'm pretty happy." That changed this time as Madsen beat Holmes in the dash, to claim the pole position for the feature. Madsen said his young crew chief Ty Wolfgang has "done a great job" getting in sync with him. Communication has been a big key. "I know it sounds weird, but just hanging out together," Madsen said of the driver-crew chief chemistry. "Dinner and a beer and just talk about racing. You do that and it might be a Wednesday night, but something clicks. He's been real receptive with that stuff and that's great." Madsen, a former Knoxville Nationals 360 winner, paced the early going after starting from the pole, with Holmes in close pursuit. Action slowed on lap six with Chase Randall and Danny Samms III tangling in turn two for the first and only yellow of the event. Lynch moved into second on the restart as Madsen opened a 1.5-second lead by lap nine as Holmes dropped to third. Madsen's margin swelled to nearly two seconds by lap 11 - but Lynch tracked down the leader and cut the deficit to a half-second at the halfway mark on lap 15. As the race continued until green-flag conditions, Madsen settled into a one-second advantage as Lynch and Holmes tried to keep pace. Madsen poured it on in the late stages, cruising to the checkers by nearly three seconds over Lynch. "Hopefully we can keep rolling like this all year. Obviously you can't win every night, but being quick and running well is going to be awesome," Madsen said. Lynch, 28 from Cowansville, Pa., said the team found some steering issues and gave him a fast car. It just was not fast enough to stay with Madsen on Saturday night. "We were battling steering issue in the dash and it was pretty obvious," Lynch said. "We just didn't have time to change it and we just tried to make it the best we could. Really the car was super good. The guys busted their butt all night. It's a testament to the team. We're working hard and hopefully one spot better real soon." Holmes, a 22-year-old from Jacksonville, Oregon, came home third with Daison Pursley fourth, Hank Davis fifth and Rico Abreu charging from 11th to sixth. "Our best night of the year," Holmes said. "We've got to race a little bit during a break with High Limit these last few weeks. Some of those nights when we got our teeth kicked in taught us a lot." The Diamond Classic was the first of three High Limit Racing events at Lucas Oil Speedway this season, with the series returning for the 16th annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial, Sept. 17-19.

- Davenport completes MLRA Spring Nationals sweep at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (April 11, 2026) - "Superman" indeed was again super, completing a sweep of the 13th annual MLRA Spring Nationals on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Jonathan Davenport led all 50 laps - one night after pacing all 40 in the main event - and outdistanced runner-up Ricky Thornton Jr.,. Davenport, of Blairsville, Ga., earned $20,000 a night after taking a $7,000 win in his Double L Motorsports Longhorn chassis. This one was more challenging than the preliminary-night win, when Davenport's winning margin was more than seven seconds, as Thornton made it interesting as he zipped through the field from his 18th starting position. But in the end, it was all Davenport. "Ricky got up through there. He's had a tough weekend for sure, but he's really, really good," said Davenport, who led all 90 laps during the two wins. It was the two-time Show-Me 100 champion's 10th feature win at Lucas Oil Speedway since the spring of 2023. Davenport said he will return to Wheatland for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Show-Me 100, May 21-23, with some extra confidence after the MLRA Spring Nationals success. "We've got a really good notebook here," Davenport said. "We've kind of made it a tradition to bring a car here to get prepared for that race. This is an awesome facility and we love coming here." Just as he did Friday night, Davenport grabbed the lead at the drop of the green, though fellow front-row starter Tony Jackson Jr. stayed close through the early going with Davenport just a half-second in front through 10 laps. Davenport and Jackson already were passing lapped cars by that point with the first caution waving on lap 11 as Chris Simpson slowed with a flat tire while running third. The restart saw Davenport use clean air to extend his lead to two seconds by lap 17 over Jackson with Garrett Alberson moving into third. Alberson got around Jackson on lap 21 for second. Trevor Gundaker spun on lap 23 to bring out caution No. 2 as Davenport led Alberson by 3.1 seconds, followed by the ninth-starting Dalton Murty and Jackson. Thornton's surge from 18th continued as he claimed second on lap 27, going around Alberson. As Thornton and Alberson battled, Davenport was able to open a three-second lead by lap 30. Davenport struggled a bit with lapped traffic and Thornton rallied within 1.5 seconds with 10 laps to go. That was the same margin when caution flew on lap 43 as Jeff Herzog slowed with a flat tire and Dillon McCowan, who was running fourth, came to a stop in turn two. That gave Thornton a shot with seven laps remaining, but Davenport zipped away on the restart and opened a 10-car-length lead in just two laps. He kept pulling away and completed the sweep, prevailing over Thornton by 2.5 seconds at the checkers. "I was trying to pace myself," Davenport said of the final half of the race. "We really hurt tires more in the heat races today than we did yesterday. I was little worried about that, so I was pacing myself there and trying to keep a safe distance. "Just hats off to my crew. Once again, they did a phenomenal job." Alberson settled for third with Tyler Wolff driving from 19th to fourth and Matthew Larson taking fifth. Thornton lamented that he has to get his qualifying straightened out if he wants a level shot at beating Davenport. "It's embarrassing to start the night," Thornton said of time trials. "At least we're good when it matters. Congrats to 'JD.' He was really good and I knew he was going to be really good coming here. He's so good on entry and he can take off after that. "Hats off to my guys. I think we threw everything but the kitchen sink at it." Jackson Jr. posted fast overall qualifying lap with a time of 15.733 out of Group Two after Alberson paced Group 1 at 15.794. Jackson went on to win his heat race to earn the pole for the feature. Davenport, Simpson and Jeff Herzog also won heat races. Fennewald finishes Super Stocks sweep: Johnny Fennewald of Appleton City took the lead from race-long pacesetter Terry Schultz with one lap to go and held off Mike Striegel to win the Hickamo Super Stock feature for the second straight night. Schultz set the pace from the start and held a half-second lead over Striegel at the halfway mark on lap 10, with Blaine Ewing right behind in third with Fennewald fourth. The sixth-starting Fennewald moved into second on lap 15 and, riding the high groove all around the track, caught and passed Schultz on lap 19 coming out of turn four. Schultz broke something on his car and slowed, bringing out a yellow after taking the white flag. Fennewald beat Striegel by one second with Ewing third, Johnny Coats fourth and Derek Brown fifth. "I like this place. It fits my driving style really well," Fennewald said. "This track has been unbelievable. It's got character in it. It's not just follow the leader. It's got three grooves on racing and you can get on top of it now, which is where I like to be all the time." Evinger takes SMVR feature: Owen Evinger of Odessa, driving a 1970 Chevy Nova, led all the way to catpure the Show-Me Vintage Racers 15-lap feature, beating David Isaacs by a half-second. "I like this class a lot," Evinger said. "Usually we don't have a lot of wrecks, but it wasn't that way tonight." Emma Davis was third in the caution-filled race, with Jim Thorne fourth and Richard Fields fifth.
