  Moran Earns Career-Best Payday in Silver Dollars Nationals at Huset's

  BRANDON, SD (July 20, 2024) - Devin Moran took the lead at the start of the 14th Annual Silver Dollar Nationals Presented by MyRacePass on Saturday night Huset's Speedway and led all 80-laps to pick up a career-best $53,000 for his victory in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series-sanctioned event. It was Moran's first career win in the crown jewel event that was held at I-80 Speedway in Nebraska for 12 years before moving to the South Dakota facility. Moran fought off two former Silver Dollar Nationals winners, Bobby Pierce and Brandon Sheppard, to take the win. Pierce, the Silver Dollar Nationals winner in 2019 and Sheppard who won in 2020 and 2023, trailed Moran across the finish line. Tyler Erb, who started 13th finished fourth with another former Silver Dollar Nationals winner, Tim McCreadie rounding out the top five drivers. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the sixth time this season, Moran celebrated with his team after taking the biggest win of his career. Moran's previous best finish in the race was third in 2022. "I guess this officially is the biggest race I ever won you know. In the last 25 laps I was literally ripping every straightaway. I am out of breath. I knew Bobby and Sheppy were ripping, and I was just doing everything I could to stay in front. I saw Sheppy just keep poking, keep poking. I tried to run on the bottom, but I felt so slow. That was a workout," said the driver who has now recorded 14 consecutive top four finishes since mid-June. "Roger Sellers put his faith in myself and my great crew you know. He got us on board last year and it was a little shaky to start with, but we just kept working and working," said the Dresden, Ohio native who became the tenth different winner of the race that began in 2011. Pierce, who led every lap the previous two preliminary nights came home in second earning a $20,000 payday after he and Sheppard swapped the second spot on several occasions during the race. "I really don't know what more I could have done. Devin was good and I think we just missed a little on the right front set-up. It was kind of bouncing around in the corner and we scared ourselves out when we hot lapped, we kind of had a different set-up on. The track just a got a little more characteristic in it than we thought and going through the corner I guess just how the car bounced is how I went. I had my hands full for a while. It was fun battling with Brandon and Devin. He [Moran] drove a heck of a race there at the very end." Sheppard, who was attempting to become just the second driver to win three Silver Dollar Nationals, rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. He was asked if he could have done anything differently during the 80-lap affair as he collected $10,000 for third. "I don't know. I like to think I should have picked the bottom on that first restart when I got to second. After I got second back later in the race, I picked the bottom where I thought I needed to be, and I didn't take off as good and I bounced coming out the corner. I think I got up on the berm a little bit too much and that allowed Bobby to get back by me. All-in-all we had a good weekend; really it had just awesome balance. It was a pleasure to drive." The winner's Roger Sellers, Double Down Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, C&W Trucking, Lazydays RV, McHugh Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram, CarSourceAuto.com, Red Oak Pub, Smoky Mountain Speedway, Lincoln Smith Racing, Pee Wee's Wrecker Service, Southeastern Equipment, and Haulin' Haskell's. Completing the top ten were Mike Marlar, Hudson O'Neal, Garrett Alberson, Daulton Wilson, and Jonathan Davenport.

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

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

  Pierce Goes Back-to-Back in Preliminary Action at Huset's

  BRANDON, SD (July 19, 2024) - Bobby Pierce held off a hard-charging Devin Moran in the final laps to win back-to-back with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series at Huset's Speedway. Pierce was in control from the start of Friday's 40-lap main event but a stumble in turn four allowed Moran to close in the final laps. Pierce would cross the finish line in first for his seventh win in his last eight starts. Moran finished in second by 0.615 seconds as he recorded his 13th consecutive top four finish. Tim McCreadie rounded out the Big River Steel Podium with his third place run after passing Daulton Wilson on the final lap dropping Wilson to fourth at the finish. Current Lucas Oil Late Model Championship points leader Ricky Thornton Jr. rounded out the top five. For the second night in a row, Pierce jumped out to the lead this time from the Victory Fuel pole. McCreadie moved into second on lap one and stayed behind Pierce for several laps until Wilson took the runner-up spot away from McCreadie on lap 20. Wilson held the runner-up spot behind Pierce until lap 28 when Moran was able to clear him. At that point, Moran was several car lengths back from Pierce until Pierce rode the berm on lap 33 allowing Moran to cut a full second off his lead. Pierce was able to hold off Moran in the closing laps to pick up his second straight win at Huset's. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane, for the 19th time in his career, Pierce had to breathe a sigh of relief after a heart-stopping moment in turn four that nearly cost him the race. "It woke me up, that's for sure," said the Oakwood, Illinois driver whose sizable lead nearly evaporated with seven laps to go. "It was getting choppy on entrance in three and I think I just bottomed out, and when it started, I couldn't get it back and was stuck up there for a second. I didn't think I was ever going to get out. I finally realized it was Devin [Moran] in second and I didn't know what he had on for tires, but whatever he did he was gaining on us for sure and he was the best car at the end, so we got lucky." Moran, who has not finished outside of the top four in any race since June 20th at Lernerville, came home in second. "We were running fourth at about the halfway point. I kept trying to look at the scoreboard, but you are always on the wheel here. I got by Daulton [Wilson] and then a few laps later I was able to get by Timmy [McCreadie]. When Bobby got up on that cushion, I thought I had a real chance to catch him. We were good off turn two and I was able to gain more ground on him. Our car was more maneuverable I think at end than he [Pierce] was. I can't wait for Saturday night," said Moran who will be seeking his first career Silver Dollar Nationals. McCreadie was able to sneak by Wilson on the final lap to get to third. "We were good early and then we got shuffled back a few spots on those restarts. We were able to finally get rolling again there at the end. We just needed it to stay green longer than it did there a couple of times. I was able to roll to the outside of the 18D car there on the last lap. We are getting closer. Hopefully Saturday night we can bring home a win for the team and all the sponsors."

  Pierce Earns First Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Win of '24 at Huset's

  BRANDON, SD (July 18, 2024) - Bobby Pierce led wire-to-wire on Thursday night at Huset's Speedway as the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series kicked off the three-day, 14th Annual Silver Dollar Nationals - Presented by MyRacePass. Pierce's win was his first of 2024 with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series - scoring the $10,000 victory for his sixth win in his last seven late model feature starts. The win is Pierce's 21st overall in 2024. Pierce was in control for all 40 laps as he beat fellow Illinois driver and defending Silver Dollar Nationals winner Brandon Sheppard to the checkers by 2.224 seconds. Daulton Wilson, the Victory Fuel polesitter finished in third rounding out the Big River Steel Podium. Devin Moran was fourth followed by Hudson O'Neal, whose two-race Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win streak was snapped, in fifth. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 18th time in his career, the 2019 Silver Dollar Nationals winner who finished second a year-ago to Sheppard is looking for a $53,000 payday on Saturday night. "I don't know what it is, but I was beat up last year after the race and I am again. You have got to stay on the wheel I think like literally the whole time around this racetrack with how it's shaped and with how the banking flattens off in certain spots. The second you relax is when you push and make a mistake, things happen very fast here. It's very mentally challenging because you come off the corners in turn four and it tightens up. The only time I got the wall was off of turn four down the straightaway." Sheppard, a two-time winner of the Silver Dollar Nationals, took over second from Wilson on lap four and trailed Pierce the rest of the way. "The engine got a little bit more on the warmer side than I like it. Thanks to Huset's Speedway for giving us a great racetrack tonight. We had a pretty good car all night long, we didn't qualify as good as we needed to. We've been working on this thing trying to get a little bit better. We keep finishing second to Bobby. His stuff is really good right now and hats off to them guys, they do a really good job." Wilson who held the second spot for the first three circuits of the race, which saw only one caution flag slow the action, rounded out the Big River Steel Podium. "This is a big deal for us. This place has definitely kicked my butt over the years. We were probably the only one on hard tires tonight, so we messed up a little bit there. My guys have been busting their tails and to get a night under our belt on hard tires is not a bad thing either so to be up here is a great thing."

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

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

  O'Neal Takes Kosiski Family 53 in First Lucas Oil Stop at Shelby County

  HARLAN, Iowa (July 16, 2024) - Defending Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion Hudson O'Neal made a three-wide pass for the lead on lap 22 and led the remaining 31 laps to score his second straight Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the week on Tuesday night at Shelby County Speedway. The first national touring late model race ever held at Shelby County was one to remember as three different drivers took turns leading the Kosiski Family 53. O'Neal prevailed by 3.503 seconds over Ricky Thornton Jr. who put on a late race charge that stalled out with three laps to go to finish second to O'Neal for the second night in a row. Garrett Alberson, who joined O'Neal and Thornton as race leaders rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Devin Moran was fourth and Jonathan Davenport rounded out the top five. Thornton started from the pole and led the first 14 laps until Alberson powered around on the outside to take over the top spot after starting sixth. Alberson was in front for four circuits until O'Neal snuck to the inside of both Alberson and Thornton to take the lead on lap 22. A caution with ten laps to go wiped out the healthy lead that O'Neal had built up over Thornton and Alberson. On the restart Thornton ran the top side of the track as he stayed with O'Neal but ran out of steam with less than five laps to go. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 29th time in his career, O'Neal earned his fifth series win of the season. "I started right around that bottom and then Garrett was making that middle work there for a minute. I got a little bit nervous about it and I'm sure the top came into it at a certain point, and I just didn't know where to be on the racetrack. I was just guessing where to run. It just feels awesome to come out here and be able to drive these guys' race car. It's been a long week and I continue to try and represent these sponsors the best I can." Thornton maintains the series points lead heading to Huset's Speedway this weekend for the Silver Dollar Nationals. "I think the fans loved it," said Thornton commenting to the packed grandstands on hand for the event. "I felt pretty good around the bottom for a while. We worked so hard trying to get our stuff where we could get off the corner. We changed the right front a little bit and think it was the wrong call. I knew on the restarts I wasn't that good around the bottom so I figured heck I might as well start sending it around the top. I felt like I had a good pace up there. I screwed up there once getting into one and about the destroyed the thing, so I thought I had better go back to the bottom. I let him [O'Neal] get away and his lead kept growing so I went back to the bottom." Alberson had the Roberts Motorsports car in contention for the win as he came home in third. "These guys are the best in the country you know so to be close and right there with them is great. I was hoping there for a little bit that our tires were the right deal. I probably just needed to do a better job of driving that bottom more disciplined because those guys could do a little better than I could. I ran that top a few laps too long when I didn't need to. I hurt my tires a little more than I should have, but we held in there it was a good solid top three."

  O'Neal Wins Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Debut at Eagle

  EAGLE, Neb. (July 15, 2024) - The first ever visit by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series to Eagle Raceway did not disappoint. The 1/3-mile's first national touring late model event in 20 years saw Hudson O'Neal return to Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the first time since February 6. O'Neal, the reigning Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion, took the lead for good on lap 13 from Ricky Thornton Jr. to win the Malvern Bank High Bank Heist worth $10,000. Thornton finished in second followed by Jonathan Davenport, Devin Moran, and Tim McCreadie. O'Neal, who started third snared the lead on the opening lap as polesitter Garrett Alberson drifted high in turn two which opened the door for O'Neal. O'Neal held the point until Thornton charged around him to take over the top spot on lap five. Thornton, the current LOLMDS points leader, led the way for eight laps until O'Neal passed him back for the lead on lap 13. O'Neal led the rest of the way in a torrid battle amongst the top five drivers who were on the same straightaway at one point contesting for the lead. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 28th time in his career O'Neal stood atop the Big River Steel Podium for the first time since East Bay in February. "It feels awesome. I don't know if I breathed the last 15 laps or so. It's so awesome to be back up here again after everything that I have went through this year with the decisions I have made and other decisions or whatever. Man, it's just awesome to be back up here and be able to represent all of my guys and SSI Motorsports. Hopefully we can continue to build on it. We will just do the best we can and go and try to win the next one." Thornton, who leads the series with 11 wins this year was in the hunt the entire 40 laps falling 1.516 seconds short of his 40th career series win. "The car was really good. I want to thank everyone with Koehler Motorsports. My crew has been working their tails off. We weren't exactly sure how this place was going to do. Heck, I thought it raced pretty good and hopefully we get to come back next year. I want to thank all of the fans for coming out to support us. This has been pretty awesome." Davenport, who never ran outside of the top four during the race rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "My car was pretty good. It was a lot better than it has been. I haven't had much racing luck lately. It was a race to get by the 58 car he was a little more on harder tires than us three was. Ricky picked the bottom, and I got him on the restart. I was running the top and then the caution came back out and we switched after the next caution. It just wasn't our night as far as luck goes. At least we didn't go backwards tonight."

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 15, 2024) - Lucas Oil Speedway has a long tradition of recognizing active-duty military and veterans before each racing program. This week, it will be taken to an even higher level with Horton Supply Company Veterans and Military Night at the Races.

"Acknowledging our military is one of our great weekly traditions at Lucas Oil Speedway, but this week they get just a little more special treat of free admission. It's just one way of saying thanks to those special men and women." Extra racing also will be included on the program.

Moran's fifth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season was worth $15,555 for the event honoring the 2004, 34 Raceway track champion Brent Slocum, who passed away in 2005 at the age of 28. There were four lead changes among two drivers with Moran taking the lead for good on lap 16 from Tim McCreadie. Moran pulled away for a 2.547 second victory over defending series champion, Hudson O'Neal, who finished second in his return to SSI Motorsports. McCreadie led the opening lap until Moran passed him on lap two to gain the lead for the first time in the race. However, McCreadie didn't give up as he forged ahead of Moran on lap 11 but couldn't hold off the Ohio racer. Moran seized control on lap 16 - a lead which he never relinquished. Daulton Wilson came from his ninth place starting spot to round out the Big River Steel Podium in third. The current Big River Steel Chase for the Championship presented by ARP points leader Ricky Thornton Jr., in his start for Koehler Motorsports, finished fourth after starting 13th. Garrett Alberson rounded out the top five. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 13th time in his career, Moran will maintain third-place in the points heading to Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday night for the Diamond Nationals. "We are right on track. I feel like we have really hit our stride here in the last couple weeks. I think that's eight or nine podium finishes in a row. That's just a testament to how great my crew guys are and how great my car owner and this whole team is. I have watched the Slocum 50 the last eight or ten years on DirtonDirt, and I never got to race it because it's so far from home. It's just cool to come out here and race in front of this crowd and the Slocum family. I have never met them, but I am sure I will get the privilege too," said the Moran, who became the sixth different winner in six Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series races at 34 Raceway. O'Neal, who started sixth battled with McCreadie before finally clearing him on lap 22. "There are no words to describe the sense of relief I have. I told them guys that it feels like I've won almost after the week it's been. Over the last few months, it's just been in general my racing career has been a little up-and-down and it just feels good to get back to rolling pretty good. I felt like I had a really good racecar there I just missed a little bit of balance right there at the end. I just couldn't roll the bottom like he [Moran] could there the last half of the race." Wilson was one of the fastest cars on the track throughout the mid portion on the race, but his momentum stalled out once he got to third as he challenged O'Neal for several laps before finishing third. "The way it's been going here lately I am tickled to death. I thought I had a shot at second for a minute then I really hurt my left rear tire bad running around the top of one and two down there, so I had to get down. Huddy never left the door open for me and the lapped cars were tricky to get around." The winner's Roger Sellers, Double Down Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, C&W Trucking, Lazydays RV, Southeastern Equipment, Red Oak Pub, Haulin' Haskell's, Smoky Mountain Speedway, CarSourceAuto.com, Pee Wee's Wrecker Service, Bilstein Shocks, Lincoln Smith Racing, and McHugh Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram. Completing the top ten were Tim McCreadie, Carson Ferguson, Jonathan Davenport, Mike Marlar, and Drake Troutman.

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

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 11, 2024) - No matter how much or how little Payton Looney races, he always will have a cherished trophy on his Late Model resume: Show-Me 100 champion. Looney scored a popular win for the home-area fans in 2020 when the Republic driver captured the Show-Me 100 at Lucas Oil Speedway, becoming only the second Missourian to bag the crown-jewel event. He went on to lead the Lucas Oil MLRA Series championship chase most of that season before falling just short of the title. Since that time, Looney has dialed back his racing schedule, focusing on family and work commitments. Not that his passion for racing has waned when the chances arise. Any time he goes to the track, Looney believes he can run up front. That will be no different on Saturday night when the 30-year-old enters the 18th annual CMH Diamond Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment at Lucas Oil Speedway. "The goal never changes and if it does, I need to find a different hobby," Looney said of his desire of contending for a victory with the biggest names of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA. Achieving that goal is more challenging as a part-time competitor. Looney has run his lightly raced Capital chassis only a handful of times since trading his Show-Me 100-winning car for it last season. Luck has not been an ally in 2024 as Looney has entered three Super Late Model events and left two with mechanical issues. Looney didn't make the Show-Me 100 starting field in May after a first-night steering issue buried him in qualifying points. Last weekend at Monett Speedway, in the new Southern Outlaw Late Model Series, he was felled by rear-end gear issues. Last season he suited up nine times with a fourth place in the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson, a Show-Me 100 preliminary, the highest finish. That got him into the big show, but he pulled off early and wound up 29th. Asked how frustrating the season has been so far, Looney laughed and said, "I don't race enough to get super down." "Yeah, it is frustrating, but hopefully we get it turned around (Saturday) at a place where we've had a lot of success in the past." As for the gap that widens a bit more each season against those who race for a living, Looney said it's reality of the situation. That would be different if he was still keeping a regular Late Model racing schedule, but Looney is happy about where he's at in life. He and wife Emilee are raising son Baylor (6) and daughter Elliott (4). Baylor is playing multiple sports and has a youth baseball tournament on Saturday. "I can watch the early games before we leave for the races," he said. "The kids are good, the wife is good. We are living a good life. "I always look forward to racing (at Wheatland) in front of friends and family. Hopefully we can have a good showing and make the race and be competitive." Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, Ga., is defending champ of the Diamond Nationals and will be shooting for his fifth win in the $20,000-to-win event. Davenport also will be shooting for his ninth feature victory at Lucas Oil Speedway over the last two seasons. Also on the Saturday program will be the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds, chasing $1,000-to-win, and the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars with a $750 top prize. Pit gates open at 4 pm. Saturday with grandstands at 5, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. Saturday admission: Adults (13 and up) - $30 Seniors (62 and over)/Military - $27 Youth (ages 6-12) - $10 Kids (5 and under) - FREE Family pass - $70 Pit pass - $45 Camping: Daily rates Dry Camping $15/night (up to 6 people) ($5 additional a night per person) Reserve Dry $25/Night (limited Availability) (up to 6 people) ($5 additional a night per person) Reserved Electric & Water- $40/Night (up to 6 people) ($5 additional a night per person (Limited Availability) For ticket or camping information on any Lucas Oil Speedway event, contact Admissions Director Nichole McMillan at (417) 295-6043 or via email at nmcmillan@lucasoilspeedway.com.

  Remnants of Hurricane Beryl Wash Out Lucas Oil Stop at Tri-City

  BATAVIA, Ohio (July 10, 2024) - Due to the intense rainfall from the remnants of Hurricane Beryl, Tri-City Speedway and Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series officials have been forced to postpone Friday's NAPA Know How 50. Track and series officials are exploring options for a make-up date. Any information regarding the rescheduling of the event will be announced at a later date. "This is disappointing. However, the over five-inches of rain the grounds took would make it nearly impossible to prepare the facility for a safe night of racing," said Tri-City Speedway promoter Kevin Gundaker. "Tri-City Speedway has been a staple on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series schedule for 20 years and the NAPA Know How 50 has become one of our biggest events of the season."

  LUCAS OIL MLRA HITS THE TRACK FOR 18TH ANNUAL "DIAMOND NATIONALS"

  Wheatland, Missouri (July 9, 2024) - For the first time in over a month, the Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) will roar back to life this weekend with another Crown Jewel opportunity as teams converge upon the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO. The 18th Annual CMH "Diamond Nationals" Presented by Summit Racing Equipment will take center stage, pairing the best of the MLRA with their counterparts from the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) in this annual co-sanctioned classic. This year's Diamond Nationals will also see an increase from the previous $15,000 top prize, as the winner will now take home $20,000 for their efforts. Jonathan Davenport not only enters the weekend as the defending winner after topping a 40-car field in 2023, but the Blairsville, GA driver is also a 4-time winner of the coveted Diamond Ring which goes to the winner. Other recent winners of note include Johnny Scott in 2022, Chris Ferguson in 2020, and Jimmy Owens in 2019. A total of 13 nights remain on the 2024 Lucas Oil MLRA schedule, and with five of those nights taking place at the Lucas Oil Speedway, the Diamond of Dirt Tracks is likely to play a major role in determining the series championship. Here is the Midseason breakdown of the top ten MLRA drivers heading into this weekend's action. BREAKDOWN: MLRA MID-SEASON TOP 10 1.) CHAD SIMPSON (Point Leader) — The four-time series Champ continues to stand on top of the Midwest Sheet Metal Point Leader Challenge Standings, as he tries to track down a third consecutive crown. Engine troubles plagued Simpson in his last MLRA outing at the Callaway Raceway, but the Mt. Vernon, Iowa driver still managed to nurse his ride home to a valuable 8th place finish, something that could loom large come October. And the fact he has more MLRA wins to date (4) at Lucas Oil Speedway than any other active driver int the top ten, could spell trouble for those trying to take the crown away from the defending champ. 2.) GORDY GUNDAKER (-10 points) — In his first full season with the MLRA, Gundaker has positioned himself well into the Championship Conversation. Despite an 18th place run in the season opener, the former WoO regular has rebounded with a podium run at the Adams County Speedway (IL) followed by another top five at the Callaway Raceway. The big boost for the St. Charles, MO driver came in the Show-Me 100 as he topped the MLRA regulars and wrestled his Longhorn Chassis to a strong 8th place finish. 3.) CHRIS SIMPSON (-15 points) — Yes, this makes three drivers separated by just 15 points. The defending MLRA runner-up continues to hang around stalking the top spot by virtue of his 4 top ten finishes, including a podium at Callaway Raceway. A 16-time career MLRA winner, Simpson is yet to find his way to victory lane at Wheatland, but he was the highest finishing MLRA regular during both qualifying nights for this year's Show-Me 100, proving that he has the speed should he decide to go after what would be his first series championship since winning the 2016 Corn Belt Clash title. 4.) TREVOR GUNDAKER (-90 points) — The runner-up in last season's SUNOCO Rookie of the Year Battle, Gundaker has already doubled up on his top ten finishes from all of last year with the MLRA. The former MLRA winner also had an impressive 11th place finish in the Show-Me 100 that helped him stay well within striking distance of the lead trio of drivers. Adding in another 3 top tens finishes in recent weeks following the Summer Nationals Tour and the 21 year old will be one to keep an eye on down the stretch as long as the MLRA heads to his home track Tri-City Speedway for the finale. 5.) DILLON MCCOWAN (-90 points) — After a rocky start to his MLRA season, the defending Sunoco Rookie of the Year has bounced back as of late, collecting his first career MLRA win at the Callaway Raceway to firmly put him back into the Championship discussion. With 5 races remaining in his playground of the Lucas Oil Speedway, and the fact he quite possibly has more seat time thus far in 2024 than any other MLRA driver, don't take your eyes off this 20-year-old. After finishing no better than 15th in his first 3 MLRA starts of the season, if this team can continue their current string of strong runs it could make for a storybook ending to his sophomore campaign. 6.) TONY JACKSON JR. (-125 points) — The two-time Lucas Oil MLRA Champion started the season with the Championship point lead following a strong 5th place run in the season opener in April. Since then, he has a trio of finishes that come just outside the top ten. After a mid-season break in 2022, the Lebanon, MO driver returned to the track winning 4 of the next 6 MLRA races in his transition to Capital Chassis. As Jackson and company continue to search for more speed, it would not be a surprise to see him once again go on a late summer rampage and close the gap as he looks for MLRA title # 3. 7.) EARL PEARSON JR. (-140 points) — **Hurricane Warning** After failing to make the starting field in the season opener, Pearson looked more like a strong "Category 5" in recent weeks, recording runner-up finishes in the last two regular MLRA events to close in on championship leaders. The 4-time LOLMDS Champion has 4 MLRA wins to his credit, with three of those coming at the Lucas Oil Speedway. 8.) JEFF HERZOG (-215 points) — After recording a trio of top 10's in his first full season a year ago, Herzog is still on the hunt for his first top ten of 2024. Two of those top tens came at tracks the MLRA will visit in the second half of the season in the Davenport Speedway(7th) and Moberly Motorsports Park(6th). Typically one of MLRA's top qualifiers, and a former quick timer at the Lucas Oil Speedway, Herzog looks to be a strong "second half team" that has high potential for making some noise down the stretch. 9.) CLAYTON STUCKEY (-270 points) — The Shreveport, LA driver has been a pleasant addition to the MLRA in 2024. A 12th place run at the Adams County Speedway in May, followed by an MLRA career best 7th place run at the Callaway Raceway has help to vault the Black Diamond race team inside the top ten, and well into contention for a share of the MLRA's $60,000 season ending point fund. 10.) AARON MARRANT (-290 points) — The MLRA's leader in the Sunoco Race Fuels Rookie of the Year category checks in at the # 10 spot. A large portion of the remaining MLRA schedule sets up nicely for the Richmond, MO driver will stop's close to home at Lakeside Speedway and Moberly Motorsports Park. In his last MLRA stop at Lakeside in 2022, Marrant recorded his best MLRA finish to date with a 3rd place run. Add in a win last Saturday at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 and the confidence should be on the rise for the 1x team.

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

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

  Moran Defends Home Turf with Muskingum County Triumph

  ZANESVILLE, Ohio (July 6, 2024) - Hometown driver Devin Moran thrilled the capacity crowd on Saturday night at Muskingum County Speedway - leading all the way to win the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series-sanctioned Freedom 60 worth $20,000. Moran's win was his fourth of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series season, but his first series win since 2013 at the track promoted by his father, Hall-of-Famer Donnie Moran and his family. Ricky Thornton Jr. came from fifth to finish second as he trailed Moran by 3.185 seconds at the finish. Max Blair was third followed by Jonathan Davenport and Matt Cosner. The stats will show that Moran led all 60 laps, but three different drivers took their best shot at him during the race with Tim McCreadie, Tyler Carpenter, and Thornton all holding the runner-up spot at some point. McCreadie, who started alongside on the front row held the second spot for the first nine laps of the race until Carpenter got going on the top and moved past McCreadie on lap ten. Carpenter was able to keep Moran in his sights until a lap 30 restart when McCreadie and Thornton got by him. McCreadie, looking for his first win in the Rocket1 House Car, yielded the second spot to Thornton on lap 41 as Blair joined the party and he began to put the pressure on Thornton for second. With no caution flags in the last 25 laps, Moran had to navigate heavy traffic that allowed Thornton and Blair to close briefly, but Moran would ultimately pull away. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 12th time in his career, the racer who scored his first career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win at the same track 11 years ago, climbed from his #99 to the cheers from the massive crowd on hand to witness the event that carried an $80,000 feature purse. "Man, this is just awesome. All the glory to God and these great race fans. I love coming here! We only get to come here once or twice a year. It was an awesome night and I'm glad to be back in victory lane with the Lucas Oil guys. It took a while to get around those guys in the back. Our car was so good. I just want to give my car owner, Roger Sellers, a huge shoutout as he drove all the way up from Tennessee to be here tonight. Thanks to my dad, my mom and my whole family they put on a great event tonight." Thornton came home in second and will maintain the series points lead heading to Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri next week. "I needed to win the heat race to be able to stand where Devin is tonight. I felt like I was pretty decent there. It's tough to start fifth and pass here. It was so top dominant there forever. I just never got myself in a good enough position and then I got a couple of lucky restarts there and I thought I could run him [Moran] down and the lapped cars were racing harder than I was for the lead. It was one of those deals, we'll take second and head on down the road." For the second year in a row, at Muskingum County, Blair rounded out the Big River Steel Podium with his third-place finish. "This track races like Eriez, Pa and like a lot of tracks back home. I am much more familiar and comfortable with tracks like this. That was a lot of fun. I thought I was going to have Ricky there for a long time, I think we raced about 20 laps side-by-side and we never touched. This crowd was awesome tonight especially on the Fourth of July weekend, because it's tough, there is so much racing going on everywhere so for the crowd to be this good that is pretty cool." The winner's Roger Sellers-owned, Double Down Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, C&W Trucking, Lazydays RV, McHugh Chrysler Dodge Jeep and Ram, CarSourceAuto.com, Bilstein Shocks, Red Oak Pub, Smoky Mountain Speedway, Lincoln Smith Racing, Pee Wee's Wrecker Service, and Haulin' Haskell's. Completing the top ten were Tim McCreadie, Tyler Carpenter, Spencer Hughes, Daulton Wilson, and Hudson O'Neal.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  WHEATLAND, MO. (June 27, 2024) - One of the most-anticipated events of the Lucas Oil Speedway season is coming up Friday and Saturday with the inaugural Kubota High Limit Racing Diamond Classic. Feature winners will earn $10,000 on Friday with the stakes rising to $25,000 for Saturday's main-event winner. While many of the nation's elite 410 Winged Sprint drivers will be on hand, here are five to keep an eye on: Corey Day: The 18-year-old from Clovis, California, already was considered a rising star in the open-wheel world before he joined the Kubota High Limit series prior to the 2024 season. Day has lived up to the billing with five series feature victories, the latest of which might have been the most impressive. Day drove from a 15th starting position to the front in just 14 laps at Wednesday's Kubota High Limit Midweek Money Series at Lake Ozark Speedway. Day led the rest of the way to earn the $20,000 prize. It continued a huge recent stretch for Day. Last weekend, he won $79,6000 at the Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway in Burlington, Washington. Earlier this year, he drove a late model on pavement for the first time, for JR Motorsports, and won a feature at Hickory Speedway in North Carolina. Brad Sweet: The 38-year-old Sweet, from Grass Valley, Calif., co-owns the Kubota High Limit Series with his brother-in-law, Kyle Larson. One of the big winners in sprint-car racing for two decades, Sweet leads the Kubota High Limit points chase and has six feature wins and 24 top-10 finishes in 25 events. The five-time World of Outlaw Sprint champion also has extensive experience driving in the NASCAR Nationwide Xfinity Series and Truck Series. Tyler Courtney: Another long-time big name in open-wheel racing, the 30-year-old from Indianapolis sits second in Kubota High Limit points 88 behind Sweet with three feature victories in the Clauson-Marshall Racing No. 7BC. After dominating the USAC ranks in the late 2010s with a Sprint Car and Midget championship to go along with 50-plus wins across three divisions, Courtney switched to wing racing in 2021 and quickly became one of the nation's best. Rico Abreu: Hailing from St. Helena, Calif., the 32-year-old Abreu has picked up two feature wins on the Kubota High Limit circuit in 2024 and stands fifth in points coming to Lucas Oil Speedway. Abreu emerged on the national scene by wining the Chili Bowl in back-to-back years, 2015 and 2016. Abreu won four of six Kubota High Limit Midweek Madness races in 2023 and came up a close second to Kyle Larson for the points title before signing on for full-time High Limit Racing in 2024. Ryan Timms: Another up-and-coming open-wheel star has experience finding victory lane at Lucas Oil Speedway. Ryan Timms, a 17-year-old from Oklahoma City, captured the prestigious Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial championship last fall, earning $10,000. In limited action with the Kubota High Limit circuit in 2024, Timms has picked up a pair of top-10 finishes. He has eight feature wins overall this season. Two-night reserved tickets at $80 are on sale online or by calling Admissions Director Nichole McMillan at (417) 295-6043 or they can be purchased online. Support class for the The Kubota High Limit Racing Diamond Classic is the Modified Invitational featuring the Heartland Modified Tour. The HMT and Lucas Oil Speedway have selected 27 drivers to compete each night. The HMT invitees are Chad Wheeler, Jason Pursley, Dakota Dale, Kenton Allen, Dean Wille, Tyler Wolff, Henry Chambers, Chevy Coleman, Jarret Dotson, Nic Bidinger, Gunner Martin, Tad Davis and Brandon Givens; Lucas Oil Speedway has invited Joe Duvall, Rick Beebe, Chris Kratzer, Terry Phillips, Greg Scheffler, Trevor Hughes, Gabe Hodges, Chase Sigg, Ryan Middaugh, Tanner Mullens, Robbie Reed, Tyler Davis, Dayton Pursley and Chad Lyle. The schedule calls for pit gates to open at 4 p.m., spectator gates at 5 with hot laps at 6:15 and racing at 7:05 on both Friday and Saturday.

  Thornton Makes History - Winning Second Straight Firecracker 100

  SARVER, PA (June 22, 2024) - No one in the 18-year history of the Firecracker 100 Presented by Big River Steel had ever won the crown jewel event in back-to-back years until Saturday night. Ricky Thornton Jr. led the last 55 laps to win the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series-sanctioned event earning $50,000 for his 11th series win of the season. In a race that saw six lead changes among three different drivers, Thornton dominated the last half of the race finishing over 12 seconds ahead of Devin Moran who ran second. Moran earned the Todd Steel Buildings Hard Charger of the Race coming from his 16th starting spot - passing Mike Marlar on lap 97 to gain the runner-up position. Marlar came home in third followed by Jonathan Davenport and Drake Troutman, who ran inside the top three until the waning laps of the race. Thornton grabbed the lead at the start of the race - leading the first two laps as he and Troutman ran door-to-door until Troutman, who was starting his first Firecracker 100 cleared Thornton to take over the lead for two circuits. Troutman's spot at the top was short-lived as Marlar went to the lead on lap five. Marlar held off Troutman and Thornton as back-to-back cautions slowed the field on laps 10 and 11. On what would be the final restart of the race Thornton cleared Troutman for second and set his sights on regaining the lead from Marlar. Marlar held the point until lap 38 when Thornton edged ahead, but a lap later Marlar would retake the lead which he held until lap 45 when Thornton again got by Marlar for the lead that he never relinquished. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 39th time in his career Thornton led 59 laps to make Firecracker 100 history by winning the event in consecutive seasons for the first time since it started in 2007. "There was a few times I would get to a lapped car and could never drive hard enough to get by him, and it would really slow my pace down. One time I tried to slow down in three and four and actually about went off the top, so I got into a good rhythm from there on. When this track is fast it's really fast, but once it's slick it's probably slicker than East Bay. It kind of reminds me of All-Tech, where for some reason we are really good there. I think our package suits this style of racetrack once it gets super clean and really slick and it got it done for us." Moran's brilliant charge needed to include a caution flag to have any shot at Thornton, but that never happened as the race went the final 89 laps without a yellow flag. "I was mainly just bummed when I messed up in the heat race and that's why we had to start 16th and when Ricky's on the front row it makes it almost impossible. Good job and congrats to those guys. Good job to my crew I shouldn't be bummed that I ran second, but I just know how good of a race car we had, and I didn't give ourselves a chance. They did an awesome job with the racetrack, I didn't expect it to be that wet I ran out of tearoffs after about ten laps. We didn't have that many cautions and to come up there without many cautions is pretty cool and we will take it." Marlar, who was seeking his first career Firecracker 100 victory after two runner-up finishes in the event rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "I just can't complete the corner. Ricky and Devin's cars from the center out can turn left and get the straight line down the straightaway better than me and I am headed the wrong way all the time in that area. I have to bend the car and manipulate it too much. I knew I was in trouble. I just tried to do what I could do, but I was struggling pretty bad there, and those guys were just better. Ricky raced me really good, and Devin did too, and it was fun racing on this track." The winner's Todd and Vickie Burns, SSI Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms, Dyno One Inc., West Side Tractor Sales, Bilstein Shocks, EMD Wraps, Sunoco Race Fuels, Murty Farms, and Strange Oval. Completing the top ten were Tim McCreadie, Garrett Alberson, Mason Zeigler, Hudson O'Neal, and Gregg Satterlee.

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

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

  Troutman and Moran Highlight Friday Prelims at Lernerville

  SARVER, PA (June 21, 2024) - Drake Troutman and Devin Moran scored Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series preliminary feature wins on Friday night at Lernerville Speedway. Troutman earned his first career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory in the first 25-lap race earning $5,000 for his win. Moran scored his third Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the year - also pocketing $5,000 for winning the second main event of the night. Troutman outran Ross Robinson, Tim McCreadie, Garrett Alberson, and Gregg Satterlee for the win in the first feature event. Mason Zeigler and Troutman had a great battle for the top spot - trading the lead four times in the first nine laps of the race until Troutman was able to gain some breathing room over Zeigler at that point. McCreadie moved to second on lap 12 as he and Robinson raced side-by-side for several laps until the final circuit when Robinson was able to edge out the two-time champion at the finish. Troutman's winning margin was 0.443 seconds. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the first time in his career, Troutman became the 91st different driver to win a series race. "I don't even know what to say to be honest with you," said the 19-year-old from Hyndman, Pennsylvania. "I didn't think we would get one of those for a while for sure. I don't know what to say, I am speechless. I've just got a bunch of kids working for me," as his voice trailed off. "There was a pretty big cushion up there on the top side. We were just able to really race good there on the bottom. This Longhorn Chassis is really good. We've fought a lot of bad luck and just things happening, we are learning everyday on what not to do. We wanted to put on a good show for you fans so I guess we will see what we have for tomorrow night. This one's for my dad for sure." Robinson, who ran fourth in the Show-Me 100 last month finished in the runner-up spot in the first preliminary feature after getting by McCreadie on the final lap. "That's cool for Drake. He's a darn good kid and he's a heck of a shoe so I mean he earned it. He gets it done at a place I am not that comfortable at I can't run the top like he can. It's really cool to be up here on the podium again." McCreadie continues to make strides with the Rocket1 team as he earned another Big River Steel Podium finish, after running as high as second in the race. "Congrats to him [Troutman]. He's a really good kid. He races as hard as he can, and he really doesn't get into anybody out here. It's hard to race and not touch anybody. Like I said they are good people, and he did a great job tonight."

Morocco Welding, Glassmere, Shaffer Construction, Shoe's Diesel Repair, Sunoco Race Fuels, and Bilstein Shocks. Completing the top ten in the first feature were Mason Zeigler, Jared Miley, Tyler Wyant, Jimmy Owens, and Trevor Collins. The second feature saw defending Lernerville track champion and current points leader Michael Norris bolt from his pole starting spot to take the lead. Norris held the lead until he bumped the cushion in turn two which allowed Moran to take over the lead on lap six. Norris then entered turn one at full speed and went over the turn one embankment after making contact with the outside wall to bring out the first caution of the race. Moran then held a steady lead over the field as Thornton tried to chase him down. A caution with 16 laps scored allowed Thornton and Marlar to restart behind Moran. Moran pulled away in the final nine laps as Marlar got by Thornton on lap 20 to take second where he stayed in until the checkers fell. Hudson O'Neal and Jonathan Davenport rounded out the top five. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 11th time in his career Moran was needing a good run after suffering DNF the night before. Moran commented in Victory Lane regarding the track prep done before the second feature began. "I mean I knew it was hard [the racing surface]. I was kind of giggling about it, everybody else was freaking out about it. We really didn't do anything, didn't change tires like everybody else did. It worked out in our favor. The guys did a good job." "It's awesome to finally get a win here. This is such a historic track, and they always do a great job on the racetrack and I love coming here. I am glad to get my first win at Lernerville and it would be awesome to get one tomorrow night in front of all of the Big River Steel people." Marlar, who started eighth climbed to second at the finish in his Skyline Motorsports entry. "We probably get to start out front in a heat race tomorrow night. If you can win or don't win a heat race you are still pretty good in the feature so that's a big help. I am really happy to be back up here on the podium tonight. I had a really good car tonight even though I started back there a ways." Thornton rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "I had a good car I felt like we had the wrong tire there. They watered it and it looked like it would be a lot muddier than it was. Congrats to Devin, his stuff was pretty good. Hopefully it sets us up for a good starting spot in a heat race tomorrow."

  Thornton and Davenport Take Thursday Prelims at Lernerville

  SARVER, PA (June 20, 2024) - Ricky Thornton Jr. and Jonathan Davenport spilt the 25 lap Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series features on Thursday night at Lernerville Speedway. Thornton captured the first 25-lap main worth $5,000 for his tenth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of 2024. Mike Marlar was second followed by Garrett Alberson, Michael Norris, and Jimmy Owens. Thornton received the most pressure during the race from Devin Moran who ran in second from lap nine to lap 22 when he slowed in turn two with a flat right rear tire. His night would come to an end after bringing out the final caution of the race. Marlar then picked up the second spot and tried valiantly to stay with Thornton but fell 0.555 seconds short at the finish. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 38th time in his career, Thornton broke a tie for sixth-place with Tim McCreadie on the series' all-time win list. Thornton, who is the reigning Firecracker 100 winner got off to a good for the weekend. "It was super technical tonight. I felt like getting in both turns the cushion was over the top. I am thankful for that first yellow, because Devin drove right around us on the top. I didn't really know if the bottom or the top was going to be good, and I fired off so good on the bottom and I thought the bottom was going to be really good. When Devin drove by me I think he might have set sail. I think he might have won." Marlar, who started fifth moved to second after Moran's departure and had one last shot at Thornton in a three-lap shootout at the end. "I knew when he had those three laps in the clean air, I wasn't going to be able to pass him. I hated to see that caution come out, but it was going to be hard to get by him anyway. It was treacherous there on that cushion, it will bite you. I as wanting to run it so bad and after what I seen happen to Devin, I thought man after three or four nights of bad finishes I need to get something going here. I wanted to get it back to the trailer without wrecking." "That restart was good for us," said Alberson who rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "I hated what happened to Devin there I think he shredded a tire. That was a bummer for him. He was really having a good night. I got by Hud [O'Neal] there. We are lacking just a little bit to run up front with these guys for the lead, so we've got to work on it. I am super happy to be up here with these guys on the podium."

Completing the top ten in the first feature were Hudson O'Neal, Tim McCreadie, Spencer Hughes, Max Blair, and Mason Zeigler. Davenport led wire-to-wire in the second 25 lapper also worth $5,000 for his 78th career win with the tour. Chub Frank was second followed by Drake Troutman, Daulton Wilson, and Ross Robinson. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the fourth time this season, Davenport had to wait through several caution flags to get the win. "We weren't as good after about the third time when you are hit in the left rear tire on the restarts. I don't know if we bent a shock or whatever we will have to check that out. We were o.k. last weekend, but we weren't great. This car performs better than that, so we took this whole thing apart, and we found a few things that just wasn't right about it. So, we brought it here and obviously it was a lot better. I like the place I just have never been able to figure it out," said Davenport who is seeking his first-ever win in the Firecracker 100 on Saturday night. Frank, who was looking for his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win in 18 years, came from the sixth starting spot and stayed in the hunt until the checkers fell coming home runner-up. "I needed a little more bottom on the track. He [Davenport] got up on top and that top was a little treacherous, we saw some of those other guys having trouble up there. I ran the top a couple of times on the restart, but there was no way I was staying up there. I have already flipped once this week so there was no reason to go up there. I really like this car and I really don't want to flip it. I probably just needed a little more bottom to have a chance to run with him. It started drying out pretty bad on the bottom and I just couldn't get off the corner as good as I could earlier." Troutman, who currently holds down the second spot in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Rookie of the Year chase rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "We definitely have our confidence up after our run tonight. These boys are like a bunch of dogs here this week after we got pretty tore up at Smoky Mountain last week. I know this is split features, but it feels good to be up here with these guys. It's been a dream come true to race with these guys week-in and week-out. I am learning everyday. I just have to thank all of my guys on the crew that work for me."

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

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

An action-packed event with professional bull riding and barrel racing starting at 6:00 PM that will be followed by a live DJ to close out the night. Also new for 2024, kids and adults of all ages can enjoy daily activities including bocce, horseshoes, yard golf, cornhole, disc golf, giant bowling, all kinds of food and drink and more during Firecracker Days at nearby Sprankle Woods, as well as tours of downtown Saxonburg including a stop at Spankle's Neighborhood Market to stock up on all your camping needs!

  Fennewald ends Wells' POWRi Late Model streak, collects bounty at Lucas Oil Speedway Midseason Championship program

  WHEATLAND, MO. (June 15, 2024) - The bounty has been collected. Johnny Fennewald of Appleton City led all 20 laps to capture the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model feature Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Fennewald ended Justin Wells' feature win streak at six and claimed a $500 bounty in beating the reigning track champion. Wells was involved in a lap-six incident and had to restart at the rear of the field. He wound up seventh - but the way Fennewald was on a rail throughout it probably would not have mattered. While the bounty money was nice, Fennewald said he wishes he could have won it by outrunning Wells. "Honestly, I wouldn't even care if they paid me that bounty after this week; I want to race door-to-door and outrun him," Fennewald said of Wells. Other feature winner on the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series Midseason Championships program Presented by the Bolivar Herald-Free Press included: Jon Sheets (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Mason Beck (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars), Tyler Wolff (Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds) and Derek Brown (guest class POWRi Super Stocks). Wells did claim the midseason championship, along with JC Morton (USRA B-Mods), Ryan Middaugh (USRA Modifieds) and Jaylen Wettengel (USRA Stock Cars). Along with the midseason title, the night was far from a total loss for Wells. He captured the Late Model race to begin the program, a makeup from a rainout on Show-Me 100 weekend. He claimed $2,000 for that win, his sixth without a loss at the speedway in 2024. But Wells was unable to make it 7-for-7 in the regular main event. "Congratulations to Johnny, he ran a good race," Wells said. Fennewald rolled to a 2.1-second lead over Kaeden Cornell just five laps into the race with JC Morton in third and the sixth-starting Wells in fourth. Just one lap later, a caution for debris bunched the field and took away Fennewald's lead. One lap after the restart, third-running Cornell took a wild ride when he and Wells made contact entering turn one. Cornell's car went up and over in mid-air before landing on all four wheels. Cornell was not injured, but the car suffered major damage. Wells, as one of the car involved in the red-flag incident, restarted 17th with 14 laps remaining. "We just didn't get it done tonight and I feel bad for Kaeden," Wells said. "I don't even think he knew I was there when we went into the corner. I'm more worried about him than anything, I don't care about winning the race. I hate it for him." When action resumed, Fennewald sprinted to a two-second advantage over Morton at the halfway point. He kept building on the margin from there as Sawyer Crigler passed Morton for second on lap 14. Fennewald remained in command as the race went without another stoppage and he finished 3.4 seconds in front of Crigler. Morton finished third, Tucker Cox was fourth and Andy Bryant took fifth. "We've been struggling a little bit down here," Fennewald said in victory lane. "New tires and new dirt, it's not the same as what it was last year. We were just a few clicks off. Wells was able to rally for seventh, but saw his winning streak end on Night One of the bounty hunt. Wells started the night by winning the $2,000, 30-lap makeup feature that was rained out on Show-Me 100 weekend. Wells took the lead on lap six, built a sizable cushion and then held off Andy Bryant at the finish. Tucker Cox outgunned fellow front-row starter Wells on the start and led the reigning champ through the first four laps, when the event's first caution flew. Two laps after the restart, Wells roared by Cox on the inside of turn four. Wells sailed from there to a two-second lead by lap 15, when he encountered lapped traffic for the first time. Behind him, Bryant got around Cox for second at the halfway mark. With the action remaining green to the finish, Wells gradually kept lengthening his lead as he used the high groove. Bryant mounted a late charge after moving to the low line, but Wells was able to hang on by four-tenths of a second for his sixth feature win in six tries at the speedway in 2024. Fennewald was 2.6 seconds behind to grab third with Tyler Kuykendall fourth and Cox fifth. Sheets goes wire-to-wire in USRA B-Mods: Jon Sheets of Nevada led all 20 laps and held off midseason champion JC Morton of Springfield for the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win. Sheets started on the pole and set the pace from the green, opening a one-second lead over third-starting Ryan Gillmore by lap five. Gillmore cut the margin to a half-second by the midpoint, lap 10, with JC Morton two more seconds behind in third. The leaders found lapped traffic on lap 14, and that proved to be an issue for Sheets. He made heavy contact with the suddenly slowing car of Christopher Watts, causing major body damage to the right side of Sheets' No. 8. But Sheets never stopped rolling and that allowed him to maintain the first position for the restart. Gillmore slipped on the restart, allowing Morton to take second as Sheets opened a four-car-length lead. Morton moved to the high side and cut in to the lead coming to the third flag with Gillmore also right behind. Sheets, body damage and all, held on by .280 seconds for the victory over Morton, with Gillmore third. Eric Turner finished fourth and Mitch Keeter was fifth. "I sure thought he was going to stay in the middle," Sheets said of the slowing lapped car. "Obviously that caused us a lot of work this week. Luckily enough we were able to hold on. I could see JC coming there. It's kind of a thing that you're praying the laps are going to run out soon enough." Morton's finish was good enough to give him the midseason points championship. "We just have to keep maintaining it," Morton said in looking ahead to the remainder of the season. "You keep the top-five finishes going and you'll be there at the end of the year." Beck takes USRA Stock Cars thriller: Mason Beck of Urbana won a classic duel over the final laps with William Garner to claim the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win. Jaylen Wettengel of Topeka, Kan., finished third and it was enough to nail down the midseason championship for him. Beck, who started sixth, drove around the outside of Wettengel to take over the lead on lap five of a feature plagued by six cautions. Wettengel started up front and paced the first five circuits, with two cautions slowing the action. Beck, Wettengel and William Garner were all battling for the top spot when a lap-nine caution interrupted the competition. Beck moved to the high side after the restart and was able to open a one-second lead by lap 12 with Garner second and Wettengel third. Just as Beck was establishing control, a fourth caution flew to erase his 1.2-second lead on lap 13. Garner pulled alongside Beck after the restart, with the two dueling three straight laps until a fifth caution came out with four to go. The leads came to the white flag side-by-side and Beck was able to hold on at the finish by .043 seconds - less than a half-car-length. "That was a good race," Beck said. "Me and Will always race hard. We always put on good races for everybody. He's a heck of a wheel man, too. We've raced together since I started." Wettengel wound up third, which was just enough to give him the midseason championship. He has two runner-up finishes to go with one third. "There toward the end I was watching the whole race and it was a good race," Wettengel said. "I'm not too mad about the results," Wettengel said. Rodney Schweizer finished fourth with James Ellis fifth. Wolff rolls to USRA Modifieds win: Tyler Wolff overwhelmed the field in the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified main event, leading all 20 laps to score a runaway victory over Trevor Hughes. From outside the front row, Wolff beat pole-starter Hughes into turn one and set the pace. Wolff pulled away in dominant fashion and opened a 4.5-second lead by lap 10. With action remaining caution-free the rest of the way, Wolff cruised to the victory by nearly six seconds over Hughes. "This is my favorite place to win," said Wolff, who made an eight-hour drive after a USMTS race on Friday night in Wisconsin. "There's always a good crowd here with so many good fans. We're glad to be here." Jason Pursley wound up third, Kenton Allen fourth and Jeff Cutshaw fifth. Middaugh, the reigning track champ, had a rough night but captured the midseason championship with his ninth-place run. "We've just been struggling with this car. We can't find the balance that I like and tonight we were really bad," Middaugh said. "We'll go through it and try to get better." POWRi Super Stocks: Stoutland's Derek Brown held off a mid-race challenge and went on to capture the 20-lap feature win for the guest class POWRi Super Stocks. Brown, who won an O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature at the speedway earlier this season, led from start to finish. "I was staying where the traction was. It suited me," Brown said of the high groove, his preferred line throughout. Ted Welschmeyer, who started sixth, reeled in race-long leader Brown to pull alongside on lap 10. Brown was able to repel Welschmeyer when caution flag No. 4 flew on lap 11 with Gary Clark also challenging in third. The battle resumed on the restart, with Brown able to pull out to a four-car-length cushion as Clark moved into the second position. Brown rolled the rest of the way to hold off Brian Brown by just under one second. Clark was third, Welschmeyer fourth and Blaine Ewing fifth.

  Overton Banks $50,000 in Mountain Moonshine Classic at Smoky Mountain

  MARYVILLE, Tenn. (June 15, 2024) - Brandon Overton was in charge from the start of the Mountain Moonshine Classic on Saturday night at Smoky Mountain Speedway - collecting $50,000 for the win in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series sanctioned event after leading all 60 laps of the race. Overton held off challenges early from Ryan Gustin and late in the race from Ricky Thornton Jr. but never trailed for his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of 2024. Thornton finished in second and Gustin rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Jonathan Davenport was fourth and Brandon Sheppard completed the top five finishers. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 18th time in his career the Evans, Georgia driver became the 11th different winner this year on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. "I didn't know if I was ever going to win another race. I have been knotted up all day. We were not very good last night, and we worked on it. We qualified good, we heat raced good, and I knew it was all up to me to not screw it up. We made the right decisions and I think the first lap me and Ryan, we both knew getting out in front early was important. We kind of rubbed down there, but that's awesome we were the only two Infinity Chassis' here and we ran one-two most of the race. So, hats off to Eric [Wells] and everybody back at the shop. To win in front of all these people I appreciate all of you coming out. It was a special night." Thornton chased down Overton in the closing laps but ran out of time falling 0.824 seconds short at the finish. "It was a really good night for us. I was a little mad I didn't qualify in front of Brandon in our group. I knew him starting on the pole that it was going to be really tough to pass him. The lapped cars made it really tough on him there was a lot of them that you kind of had to slide and hope they slowed down. All-in-all it was good weekend for us. Congrats to Overton and to Ryan for a good race as well." For Gustin it was his first Big River Steel Podium finish since All-Tech earlier in the year. "We'll take it, obviously when those yellows kept coming out I kept taking the top on those restarts. I would get a good start, but Ricky had a really good restart there on the last one he got us. I've got to tip my hat to him he left me room on every restart so thanks to him for that. These Infinity Chassis have been really good, we have been off a little there compared to where we needed to be. To finish third in a crown jewel race we will take it anytime."

  Thornton Sweeps Night One of Mountain Moonshine Classic at Smoky Mountain

  MARYVILLE, Tenn. (June 14, 2024) - The current Big River Steel Chase for the Championship presented by ARP points leader, Ricky Thornton, Jr. led all the way to win Friday night's $10,000 to win Mountain Moonshine Classic opener at Smoky Mountain Speedway. Thornton collected his ninth series win of the 2024 as he crossed the finish line 1.240 seconds ahead of second-place finisher Tim McCreadie. Dale McDowell rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third followed by Devin Moran and Daulton Wilson. With his 37th career win Thornton has now tied McCreadie for sixth on the series' all-time win list as he now sets his sights on his second consecutive Mountain Moonshine Classic win paying $50,000 on Saturday night. "I didn't mind seeing that yellow," said Thornton referring to the only caution of the race for Drake Troutman's flat tire with 25 laps scored. Thornton was racing in heavy traffic as McDowell had closed to within a car length of Thornton before the yellow flag waved. "I was running too hard trying to get by the lapped cars there. I was really beating my tires. So, the yellow came out and I saw T-Mac get back to second and I knew he didn't pass Dale on the bottom, so I knew I had to move up and just try and keep some speed there. Me and Ross [Robinson] hit a little bit there when I was lapping him. He was just trying to race, and he had no idea I was there so luckily it wasn't too bad. Overall, it was a really good night for us, I think we broke the track record in qualifying. Hopefully the car is this good tomorrow." McCreadie, who was coming off a second-place finish in the Show-Me 100 claimed the runner up spot again Friday night at Smoky Mountain. "Yeah, we will take it. I mean these guys went to work everyday this week after Eldora trying to make this car more suitable to me as a driver and it came right out of the box tonight and was fast from the get-go. This is the first night we probably put together a whole night where we have been good all night." McDowell was putting the pressure on Thornton as the two maneuvered through traffic, but the caution flag did not help McDowell's cause in trying to pass Thornton for the race lead. "I just didn't want to see that caution; Ricky really didn't know where to go when you're leading. I could get right there and work around, but when the caution came out, I didn't really know where to choose. I felt the top and I was a little tight. Shane [McDowell] didn't really have time with the track conditions. It was a good night; it is good anytime you can finish in the top three or five with these guys."

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Darren Phillips looks to make final racing season a memorable one

  WHEATLAND, MO. (June 12, 2024) - Darren Phillips has enjoyed a 27-year racing career on area dirt tracks, driving in a variety of divisions along the way. His top goal always has been to enjoy the ride, with his family. It all began when Phillips got to race with his brother, Darrell Rife in 4-cylinders at Nevada Speedway, and has evolved to racing with his 23-year-old son Dalton Phillips. But Darren's time behind the wheel is starting to wind down. Phillips announced earlier this year that the 2024 racing season would be his last. He's doing so by realizing a long-time dream of driving a Late Model and Phillips is having a solid season, currently eighth in the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model points chase at Lucas Oil Speedway. "Last year we went out and played around on the boat, did a bunch of other stuff with family, and had fun with it," Phillips said. "It's time to find something else to do. I've enjoyed my racing career a lot. I've met a lot of my closest friends racing. "About everywhere you go you're going to meet somebody or run into somebody you know. You're gonna run into some people you have hard feelings with. But the next time, they might become some of your closest friends. I've had a few of those." Phillips, 46, is looking forward to Saturday night's doubleheader at his hometown track in Wheatland. Along with the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series Midseason Championships, the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models will run their makeup feature from a May 25th rainout. That $2,000-to-win race will lead off the program. Phillips has been a familiar face on area speedways, going back to the opening of the original Wheatland Raceway in the early 2000s. Phillips drove Factory Stocks in those days and has spent time in Modifieds, B-Mods, Mod Lites and USRA Stock Cars before finally taking a shot at Late Models midway through last season. "That was my dream since I was a little kid," Phillips said, recalling how he grew up watching MLRA Late Model standouts like Alan Vaughan and David Turner race at Nevada. "I loved watching all those guys and my dream was to run a Late Model. I knew I couldn't afford it … I still can't afford it, but I do what I can. "When I had a chance to get into first Late Model I bought last year, I had a blast." Phillips traded his USRA Stock Car for a Late Model this season has said it's "been a fun time" as he's adjusted to car. "We started out the year a little rocky trying to learn the new car," he said. "I think I've got it working pretty good now. I've had a few good runs the last little bit. I'm looking forward to this weekend after the last three weekends when I've run pretty strong." Included were a pair of ninth-place feature runs at Lucas Oil Speedway and a fifth at Central Missouri Speedway. He's eighth in Lucas Oil Speedway points, putting him within realistic range of achieving one of his goals. "I would like to finish top five at Lucas for points and finish top 10, if not the top five, in (POWRi) national points," he said. "Those are the biggest goals to end my career." The 2021 USRA Stock Cars Central Region champion and 2023 Bolivar Speedway champ in USRA Stock Cars said he has a lot of people to thank for supporting his racing career. Topping the list are his significant other, Bobbi Lehman, and five children. The family serves as his crew on race nights. "I just want to thank everybody that's helped me and thank all my kids for being there and helping me and thank my wife for sticking with me," Phillips said. "My kids have been with me 100 percent. I've enjoyed doing this with my kids." The Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series Midseason Championship is Presented by the Bolivar Herald-Free Press.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Wettengel knocking on the door in USRA Stock Car, with B-Mod also in hunt

  WHEATLAND, MO. (June 5, 2024) - After occasional appearances at Lucas Oil Speedway over the last couple of years, Jaylen Wettengel is going all-in this season. Wettengal is making the three-hour haul from Topeka, Kan., with not only one, but two cars. The fourth-generation racer is leading the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars points standings after a pair of second-place feature finishes. He's also competing in the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod class and sit just outside the top 10. "It keeps us pretty busy, especially when (the classes) race back to back," Wettengel said of double duty. "But we've been doing it since 2016, so we're pretty seasoned in how to get through it. "I try to do as much work as I can at home with tires and set ups and stuff. That way when we get to the track, it's straightforward, in and out. Fortunately, I have a crew guy Scott (Davis) that travels with me, along with my dad (Shane Wettengel) and girlfriend (Tori Turner). They help out quite a bit." Wettengel looks to get over the hump and find victory lane at Lucas Oil Speedway for the first time on Saturday night during Public Service Appreciation Night at the Races. All Police, Fire and Rescue personnel admitted free with ID. The Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified and special guest class Mod Lites also will be in action in addition to USRA Stock Cars and B-Mods. Motorsports definitely is in Wettengel's blood since birth. The 24-year-old has been racing since the age of five, when he climbed into a quarter-midget and has been driving full-sized cars on dirt since he was 14. Great grandfather Roy Still started racing in 1949 in what Jaylen said was called Modifieds at that time but are known as Sprint cars today. Grandfather Jim Still raced regionally for several years, on dirt and pavement at I-70 Speedway and Lakeside Speedway. Dad Shane Wettengel began racing in 1991. "So racing definitely grew on me, growing up around it," said Jaylen Wettengel, who has been doubling up in both Stock Car and B-Mod since 2020. "My dad tells me that I might as well do it while I'm young," he said of the demanding schedule. He tries to give the cars equal attention, but said that's often a challenge. The Stock Car is where most of his success has come so far as Wettengel has two feature wins in that class this season at Lakeside Speedway and one at Humboldt. "I was able to win first out in the King of America in the Stock Car and that was a good way to start the year," Wettengel said. "Overall, I haven't tore anything up and had some successful finishes, everywhere I've been. This is the best I've ever done at Lucas, with two second-place finishes there. Usually, I'm just cracking the top 10 there is a win in my book." The plan is to race Friday at his "home track" of Lakeside, just west of Kansas City, and commit to Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday nights. "It's mostly because of my Stock Car," he said of committing to Lucas. "That is my more successful car. We've been struggling a little bit in the B-Mod. There's not many Saturday places we can race with the Stock Car. Lucas Oil is a stellar facility. Everywhere else is about two hours out from us and Lucas Oil is only three. We usually bite that extra hour just for the quality of the track and the amazing car count there. "Not only is there a full field, but there's probably 10-15 cars in each class that are A Feature-winning type of cars." Wettengel said his primary goal is to win a track championship, at either Lakeside or Lucas. "The past four years I've been runner-up in points (at Lakeside) and I really want to get a points championship under my belt," he said. "That's probably my biggest goal, at either one, Lucas or Lakeside. A win at Lucas Oil is one of my next top goals. The crowd and competition there is top level. I consider a win in either class - more than likely it would be the Stock Car - but to get one win at Lucas would be our second goal next to a points championship." He's been close in both attempts this season, finishing right behind Derek Brown and William Garner. Wettengel is nine points ahead of Garner and 12 clear of Brown in the early points battle. Wettengel said he hopes to keep growing his confidence with more track time as the season goes on. "I'm not one of those driers that's really good right out of the gate at a new track," Wettengel said. "The more and more I drive at Lucas, I can hopefully get a better feel for how to get around the corners and fine-tune the set-up. Most of the issues I had those two nights of not winning was driver error. If I can clean that stuff up, I think I can wind up on top some time this year." Pit gates at the dirt track open at 4 p.m. with spectator grandstands at 5 p.m., hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. Kids Power Wheel Races: Round 3 of Kids' Power Wheel races will be held during intermission Saturday with a 24V-36V class. The races will be held on the front straightaway and the kids' cars can be dropped off at the pit gate and will be brought to the front stretch at intermission. Other Power Wheel races are set for July 27 and Aug. 24. Kids ages 5-12 also can sign up prior to 5 p.m. race day for the RCR Designs Jr. Fan Club for a chance to take part in flagman Mike Striegel's Pit Tour prior to the races, where they can meet drivers and crews.

  Lucas Oil Speedway takes this weekend off with action set to resume June 8th; POWRi Late Model makeup June 15th

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 28, 2024) - Following a busy Show-Me 100 weekend, Lucas Oil Speedway will take this weekend off before resuming the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series on June 8th with a scheduling change. To work with other area tracks and sanctioning bodies to help support car counts, the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models will not be on the June 8th schedule. The Lucas Oil MLRA is racing that night at Springfield Raceway and Lake Ozark Speedway has a Cash Money Series event that night. "Those Late Model drivers who race with us weekly can attend those events can attend one of those events and support them also," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. Lorton also announced that Mod Lites will be added to the June 8th event as a guest class, racing for $500 to win and $75 to start. The Clear Creek Golf Car USRA B-Mods will be the featured class that evening, running a 25-lap, $750-to-win main event. The Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars also will be in action. That will be a busy weekend at the speedway as it also marks the first appearance this season for the Kentucky Drag Boat Association on Lake Lucas. The KDBA Summer Thunder on Lake Lucas will be in action both June 8-9. Check out kydragboat.com for more on the series. POWRi Late Model makeup and Wells bounty: The Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models will return on June 15th and make up their rained out special from the Show-Me 100. The feature will run prior to the start of the regular racing program, going 30 laps for $2,000 to win. That evening's regular program also will be the first "bounty" on reigning track champion Justin Wells, who is 5-for-5 in POWRi Late Model features this season after winning 11 times in 2023. Lorton said the bounty will start at $500 to any drivrer able to beat Wells. Each week that the bounty doesn't get claimed, $100 will be added - June 15th ($500), June 22nd ($600), July 4th ($700), July 20th ($800) and July 27th ($900). "If no one claims the bounty in the five-week hunt, then Wells will receive the $900 bounty money which we will top it off with a extra $100 to make it a even $1,000 if he can outrun the bounty hunters," Lorton said. "These four races, the bounty has to be earned legally, the driver's car has to pass tech 100%, Justin has to have finished the race for it to be claimed. There also are some other schedule changes for the remainder of the season: Full Fender Challenge coming Aug. 17: With Central Missouri Speedway and I-70 Speedway both having Super Stock specials on July 27th, Lucas Oil Speedway will not run Super Stocks that night as they were added as a guest class. On Aug. 17th, along with POWRi Summer Thunder 410 Sprints and 305s plus the POWRi Super Stocks, the USRA Stock Cars have been added to this event for what is being called the "Super Stocks vs Stock Cars Full Fender Challenge." POWRi super stocks will race for $1,500 to win, $150 to start feature with $100 entry fee. USRA Stock Cars will race for $1,500 to win, $150 to start feature with $100 entry fee. Then the top 12 from the Super Stock feature and top 12 from the Stock Cars feature will enter into a Super Stock vs Stock Car Full Fender Challenge race for $1,500 to win, $150 to start. The top 12 from each feature will draw for their starting spots in the Full Fender Challenge Race. POWRi Super Stocks will earn POWRi National points for their feature and USRA Stock Cars will earn their sanctioning series points, and track points for their individual feature. No points will be awarded for the Stock Car vs Super Stock Full Fender Challenge. "It's all for fun, glory and payout money," Lorton said.

  DAVENPORT SCORES $50,000 SHOW-ME 100 VICTORY AT LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY

  WHEATLAND, Mo. (May 25, 2024) - In a dominating performance, Jonathan Davenport ran away with the 32nd Annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism on Saturday night at the Lucas Oil Speedway. The race was shortened to 80 laps with impending weather in the area. The race, the first crown jewel event of the season was the second Show-Me 100 victory for the three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion who earned $50,000 of the event record $277,000 purse. The race was co-sanctioned with the Lucas Oil MLRA. Tim McCreadie, who started ninth made a charge on Davenport with about 15 laps to go to keep the possibility of a late-race challenge, but his hopes went away with ten laps to go as Davenport stretched his lead to 5.296 seconds when the checkered flag fell. Daulton Wilson, who started eighth, but fell to 12th early in the race rebounded nicely to round out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Ross Robinson came from 25th to earn the Todd Steel Buildings Hard Charger of the Race coming home in fourth, his best career finish in a crown jewel event. Ricky Thornton Jr. who won on Thursday and Friday could not complete the weekend sweep as he finished in fifth. Davenport in Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 77th time in his career won his first Show-Me 100 since 2015. Davenport is the first driver to win the Show-Me 100, leading every lap of the race since he did it nine years ago. "It was the craziest day. We were talking in the trailer that here lately I was making all the wrong tire choices, so I came and looked at the track and they said they wasn't going to do anything with it. It's the wettest I have seen in a long time. I know back here at the MLRA race in April we ran 2's and a 4 all night then last night 3's were better, and it was 40 laps. It turned out to be a good call. I almost done it last year and I wish I would have, but we didn't, and so hindsight is 20/20 so it come back round in 2024," said the Blairsville, Georgia driver who won at Lucas Oil Speedway for the eighth time in the last two years. "I talked to Mark [Richards] before the feature and that's what Timmy had on too. It was good for both of us. I wanted to win this for my team so bad, but kind of in the bottom of my heart I was pulling for Timmy once he got to second. He's had a rough week for sure. You know how things work out I figured I was going to push or jump the cushion and he was going to pass me, but as long as I ran second to him, I would have been alright with that." For McCreadie, who took over the driving duties of the Rocket1 in March had his best finish for the Mark Richards Racing entry coming home in the runner-up spot to earn $20,000. "I got a little free, so you're better earlier than you want to be because you're not carrying enough speed into turn one. If I was smarter, I should have even backed my corner up and throttled harder. I think I did like five laps in a row and then I couldn't see JD anymore. For me and the team it's been a climb as every night we have some success, but we haven't been able to put a full night together. A little bit of moisture in the track helped." Wilson, who won the last East Bay Winternationals in February made a nice comeback after falling out of the top ten early in the race as he charged to third at the end getting by both Robinson and Thornton in the closing laps. "We were definitely had on a different tire than anybody up here now [on the podium]. We finally got going there and got clear, there was a gaggle of cars there, and I came back up thru there." The winner's Lance and Darla Landers, Double L Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, Dyna Gro Seed, Lucas Oil Products, Bilstein Shocks, ASC Warranty, Mark Martin Automotive, Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas, and VP Fuels.

  Davenport dominates to win 32nd annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 25, 2024) - Living up to his nickname of "Superman," Jonathan Davenport put on another dominating performance at Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday night. Davenport led every lap, with only a parade of caution flags slowing him down in rolling to a $50,000 victory in the 32nd annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism. The Blairsville, Ga., driver took the checkers 5.92 seconds in front of runner-up Tim McCreadie. It was Davenport's eighth feature victory at Lucas Oil Speedway since the spring of 2023 and his second Show-Me 100 triumph. He also won the crown jewel race in 2015, leading all 100 laps. This time, he only had to lead 80 as series officials made the call prior to the feature to shorten the race due to approaching rain and challenging track conditions. "I've just got to thank my guys," Davenport said after his crew went to work on the primary car after Davenport had to go to a backup for Thursday night's first preliminary feature. He rallied from the back of the field to 10th and on Friday night, finished third in the main car still wasn't quite up to snuff. "We really got behind two days," Davenport added. "We had electrical issues the first night and never could figure them out. Then last night in the feature, we go the front end knocked off on the first lap. I knew I didn't feel good, but didn't know why until we got back to the pits and started assessing the damage. We had to change basically everything in the front end. "This car was really good from the start. I couldn't believe believe (front row starter Garrett Alberson) would spin a little bit and I could drive right by him on the start. I just tried to manage my tires and not tear them up too bad." Five cars tangled in turn one as the green flew to start the event, causing a complete restart. That was telling of what was to come, with nine cautions in all to occur. Every time Davenport would build up a nice-sized lead, he had to do it all over again. The fourth-starting Davenport, in his Lance Landers Motorsports Longhorn chassis, made a big move on the race's restart by splitting front-row starters Alberson and Ricky Thornton Jr. He grabbed the lead on the opening lap and soon had a 3.4-second gap over Thornton by lap three. Davenport, 40, said he used a softer right-rear tires than most of his competitors and that was a key to getting ultimate handling on a track that was wetter than during the first two nights. "During that first run, I was going pretty hard," Davenport said. "I figured we might have a long green-flag run and I might be able to put half the field a lap down and we wouldn't have to worry about half of them." A lap-10 caution as Logan Martin slowed to enter the pits wiped out Davenport's sizeable lead, but he quickly sprinted out to 3.3-second command in just five laps as action resumed. Again catching lapped traffic, Davenport's lead grew to five seconds by lap 20. Two laps later, Davenport narrowly missed a spinning Brennon Willard in turn three as the third caution flew and erased his 4.3-second cushion over Thornton with Chris Simpson in third. Simpson moved into second on the restart and gave chase to Davenport. But again, the leader stretched his lead to more than two seconds when Chad Simpson slowed on the track to bring out a lap-27 caution. Thornton regained second as action resumed and started to close in on the leader, cutting Davenport's lead to 1.6 seconds by lap 34 - but that's when the fifth caution appeared for a slowing Clay Harris. Just two laps went into the books before yellow No. 6 came out. With lightning flashing in the distance and seven cautions already, the race finally reached the halfway mark with Davenport lead Thornton by 1.3 seconds. Tim McCreadie had worked his way into third with Chris Simpson fourth. McCreadie, also on a softer tire, passed Thornton for second on lap 47 with Davenport maintaining a 1.2-second lead. The gap was 1.7 when action slowed again for caution No. 8 as Aaron Marrant slowed on lap 53. During that stoppage, officials allowed the drivers to switch helmets for better vision. Davenport and McCreadie broke away on the restart with 25th-starting Ross Robinson advancing past Thornton and into third. McCreadie pulled right behind Davenport on lap 60, but Davenport seemed to find a new burst of speed and opened the lead back up to 10 car lengths before again entering lapped traffic. Chris Simpson, running 10th, brought out caution No. 9 on lap 62 when he slowed in turn four. Davenport and McCreadie sprinted away again after the restart, with Davenport in front by 1.5 seconds at lap 70, leaving him 10 laps to navigate. Davenport diced through slower traffic to extend his lead to four seconds with five to go. He took it home from there, winning by a full straightaway over McCreadie, of Watertown, N.Y. It was his third Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of the season. Eighth-starting Daulton Wilson finished third and Robinson fourth. Thornton, who won both preliminary nights, was fifth in a race that took one hour, one minute to cover the 80 laps. Rain began to fall shortly after the checkered flag. Davenport said he would have been good if McCreadie, 50, had pulled off the victory. Tim McCreadie's dad, Modified racing legend "Barefoot" Bob McCreadie passed away earlier this month. "I wanted to win this for my team so bad, but in the bottom of my heard I was pulling for Timmy, too," Davenport said. "He's had a rough week for sure. You know how things work out. I figured I was going to push or jump the cushion and he was gonna pass me. As long as I ran second to him, I'd have been all right." McCreadie, with just his second top-five in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series season, said the tire choice was key and took away positive vibes from the competitive run. "For our race team, Rocket One, it's been a climb," McCreadie said. "Every night we have some success but we haven't been able to put a full night together. A little bit of moisture in the track and I have to thank (team owners) Mark Richards and Steve Baker and everybody who works on these Rockets." Davenport said the softer tire was a bit of a gamble he and the team decided to go with before race time. "Here lately I've been making all the wrong tire choices," Davenport said. "This is the wettest I've seen (the track) in a long time. I remember back when we were here for the (Lucas Oil) MLRA race, we ran 2s and 4s. Last night, the 3s were better and it was 40 laps. The track hadn't changed and a lot of laps had been on it. "We just threw caution to the wind. I almost done it last year and I wish I had, but we didn't. Hindsight it 20-20 and it came back around in 2024. That was pretty cool." Wilson, of Fayetteville, N.C., was pleased with his third-place finish considering his past struggles at Lucas Oil Speedway. "My guys have busted their butts all week. This place has kicked my butt the last couple of years," Wilson said. "Hats off to all my guys. This car is really good." Martin, of West Plains, won the Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge and forfeited the $2,500 prize to start at the rear of the 33-car Show-Me 100 lineup. He had climbed to 16th by lap 10 when he had mechanical issues and had to pull off and credited with 32nd place. The Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model feature was rained out. Justin Wells of Aurora had won the first two nights and is 5-for-5 in the weekly division. Wells also earned his way into the Show-Me 100 with a second in his B-Main, but was the first car out of the main event.

  Davenport Dominates for Second Career Show-Me 100 at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, Mo. (May 25, 2024) - In a dominating performance, Jonathan Davenport ran away with the 32nd Annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism on Saturday night at the Lucas Oil Speedway. The race was shortened to 80 laps with impending weather in the area. The race, the first crown jewel event of the season was the second Show-Me 100 victory for the three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion who earned $50,000 of the event record $277,000 purse. The race was co-sanctioned with the Lucas Oil MLRA. Tim McCreadie, who started ninth made a charge on Davenport with about 15 laps to go to keep the possibility of a late-race challenge, but his hopes went away with ten laps to go as Davenport stretched his lead to 5.296 seconds when the checkered flag fell. Daulton Wilson, who started eighth, but fell to 12th early in the race rebounded nicely to round out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Ross Robinson came from 25th to earn the Todd Steel Buildings Hard Charger of the Race coming home in fourth, his best career finish in a crown jewel event. Ricky Thornton Jr. who won on Thursday and Friday could not complete the weekend sweep as he finished in fifth. Davenport in Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 77th time in his career won his first Show-Me 100 since 2015. Davenport is the first driver to win the Show-Me 100, leading every lap of the race since he did it nine years ago. "It was the craziest day. We were talking in the trailer that here lately I was making all the wrong tire choices, so I came and looked at the track and they said they wasn't going to do anything with it. It's the wettest I have seen in a long time. I know back here at the MLRA race in April we ran 2's and a 4 all night then last night 3's were better, and it was 40 laps. It turned out to be a good call. I almost done it last year and I wish I would have, but we didn't, and so hindsight is 20/20 so it come back round in 2024," said the Blairsville, Georgia driver who won at Lucas Oil Speedway for the eighth time in the last two years. "I talked to Mark [Richards] before the feature and that's what Timmy had on too. It was good for both of us. I wanted to win this for my team so bad, but kind of in the bottom of my heart I was pulling for Timmy once he got to second. He's had a rough week for sure. You know how things work out I figured I was going to push or jump the cushion and he was going to pass me, but as long as I ran second to him, I would have been alright with that." For McCreadie, who took over the driving duties of the Rocket1 in March had his best finish for the Mark Richards Racing entry coming home in the runner-up spot to earn $20,000. "I got a little free, so you're better earlier than you want to be because you're not carrying enough speed into turn one. If I was smarter, I should have even backed my corner up and throttled harder. I think I did like five laps in a row and then I couldn't see JD anymore. For me and the team it's been a climb as every night we have some success, but we haven't been able to put a full night together. A little bit of moisture in the track helped." Wilson, who won the last East Bay Winternationals in February made a nice comeback after falling out of the top ten early in the race as he charged to third at the end getting by both Robinson and Thornton in the closing laps. "We were definitely had on a different tire than anybody up here now [on the podium]. We finally got going there and got clear, there was a gaggle of cars there, and I came back up thru there." The winner's Lance and Darla Landers, Double L Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, Dyna Gro Seed, Lucas Oil Products, Bilstein Shocks, ASC Warranty, Mark Martin Automotive, Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas, and VP Fuels.

  RTJ STRIKES AGAIN-- SCORES VICTORY IN THE "TRIBUTE TO DON & BILLIE GIBSON"

  WHEATLAND, Mo. (May 24, 2024) - Ricky Thornton Jr. made a daring three-wide pass for the lead on the opening lap from his fourth starting position and went on to lead the rest of the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson on Friday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. The event was co-sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Lucas Oil MLRA. Thornton, who won Thursday night's Cowboy Classic earned $10,000 for his eighth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of 2024. Devin Moran finished in second as Jonathan Davenport edged out Max Blair at the line to round out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Blair was fourth and four-time Show-Me 100 winner, Jimmy Owens completed the top five drivers. On the first lap of the race Thornton split Davenport and pole-sitter Garrett Alberson for the race lead coming off turn number two. Thornton and Davenport later made heavy contact on the front stretch as the duo completed the first lap. Thornton then pulled ahead of Davenport as the pair ran nose to tail for 11 more laps until Moran drove to second by Davenport on lap 13 which was three laps after the only caution of the race. Moran tried valiantly to chase down Thornton even in heavy traffic, but Thornton on several occasions was able to clear traffic to keep distance between himself and Moran. Moran had cut into Thornton's advantage several times, but with no cautions for the last 30 laps of the race Moran could not muster enough momentum in the closing laps to overtake Thornton. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 36th time in his career, Thornton battled lapped traffic for most of the last half of the 40-lap race as he bought his battle-worn car to his victory lane interview. "That was definitely all my fault," said Thornton of the contact between himself and Davenport on the opening lap. "I thought I cleared him in three then I hit the slime off of four. I thought I left him enough room, but clearly I didn't. So, I was glad it didn't wreck both of us, like I said it was 100% my fault. I didn't plan on sliding him like that. This car was really good. I don't know, we went with a little bit different tire than those other guys again and I think it paid off for us." Moran, who ran third in Thursday night's race improved one more spot to take the runner-up spot .618 seconds behind the winner in Friday's race. "Yeah, we just can't catch this dude [Thornton]. I mean they do a great job and have for the last couple of years. So, congrats to them. We are one step in the right direction. I feel like this is the type of track we will see tomorrow night for the 100-lapper. Hats off to the track crew. They were prepping for a down pour, and it never did, and they brought this thing back to life." Davenport, who had gone to Victory Lane at Lucas Oil Speedway seven times in the last couple of years barely beat Blair to the finish line to take the third spot. "It was just the first lap," said Davenport when asked of his first lap contact with Thornton. "I thought he was going to give me room and I guess he just misjudged it or whatever. I was as far as I could get. I hit the outside wall and him at the same time. It basically knocked the wheel out of my hands. I am just thankful to be up here in the top three. I was trying really hard to get back by Blair there and I thought I had him one other time, but then I missed the corner down there."

  Ricky Thornton Jr. Goes Back-to-Back at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, Mo. (May 24, 2024) - Ricky Thornton Jr. made a daring three-wide pass for the lead on the opening lap from his fourth starting position and went on to lead the rest of the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson on Friday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. The event was co-sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Lucas Oil MLRA.

  Thornton repeats on Night 2, taking Gibson Tribute at Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 24, 2024) - Ricky Thornton Jr. continued his dominance at the 32nd annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism, winning Friday night's Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson. Thornton led all 40 laps on the heels of his Thursday night triumph in the Cowboy Classic at Lucas Oil Speedway. Both wins were worth $10,000 and just as important, the Martinsville, Ind., driver is assured the pole for Saturday night's $50,000-to-win 100-lap finale. "It worked out for us and I have to thank my boys; they busted their butts," Thornton said after his eighth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of the season and 31st of his career. He beat runner-up and reigning Show-Me 100 champ Devin Moran by about four car lengths. The race honored Don and Billie Gibson, who created the Show-Me 100 in 1993 as owners of West Plains Motor Speedway. A total of 59 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series/MLRA Late Models checked into the pits while 19 Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models were on hand. Thornton set himself up for a chance to go for the weekend sweep - and win his first Show-Me 100 - with another outstanding performance. He crossed the finish line first in last year's Show-Me 100, but was disqualified in post-race inspection for a deck height infraction on his car. The key moment of Gibson Tribute might have been on lap one when the fourth-starting Thornton split front-row starters Jonathan Davenport and Garrett Alberson in turns one and two. "I didn't expect it," Thornton said of the bold move. "We got a good start and I was able to get next to Garrett down the front straightaway. I really didn't think I was going to get a good enough run to get it next to 'JD' but it took off a lot better than I was anticipating." Thornton grabbed the lead when he and Davenport crossed the start-finish line side-by-side and traded bumps the first coming from Thornton on the inside. Thornton's lead was .011 of a second at the line and Davenport bounced off the wall and back into Thornton, who took the blame for the contact. "That was definitely all my fault. I thought I cleared him in (turn) three," Thornton said. "I hit the slime off four and I thought I left him enough room, but clearly I didn't, so I'm just glad it didn't wreck both of us. It was 100 percent my fault. "This thing was really good. We went with a little bit different tire than those other guys again and I think it paid off for us." Davenport said the early action was awfully aggressive for the start of a 40-lapper. "It was just the first lap. I thought he was gonna give me room," Davenport said. "I guess he just misjudged or whatever. I was as far as I could get up. I hit the outside wall and him at the same time. It knocked the wheel out of my hands, which is the reason I run down the racetrack on him. "Any way, (stuff) happens, I guess. Just thankful to be up here in the top three. I was trying hard to get back by (Max) Blair. With the run we had last night, coming from the back, we needed all the points we could get to get a good starting spot for tomorrow." Thornton held a .761-second lead when the race's first caution flew on lap-10 for debris from Dillon McCowan's car. Thornton was able to quickly open up a three-quarter second lead after the restart as Davenport, Blair and Moran tussled for second. At the halfway point, Thornton led Moran by just under a second with Blair and Davenport giving chase as the leaders caught lapped traffic. That worked in Thornton's favor was his lead grew to 1.5 seconds by lap 27. But Moran, hugging the low groove, began to cut into the margin and was within two car lengths by lap 31. Thornton kicked it back into fast mode and built some breathing room by lap 35 as the long green-flag run continued. Thornton had to battle his way through more heavy traffic on the final laps, but held off Moran by .618 seconds. Moran finished third on Thursday. "We just can't catch this dude," Moran said. "They do a great job and they've done a great job for the last couple of years. Congrats to them, but we're one step in the right direction." Thornton said in the late stages, he could see how big a gap he had on Moran by checking out the video board overlooking turn three. "Without that, I probably would have drove a little harder through traffic," Thornton said. "But I felt like I had a decent gap. On the last lap, I saw him go to the top in (turns) one and two. If he was on me going into three, I was going to have to really drive into three hard, but it worked out for us." Davenport passed Blair on the final circuit to grab third. Jimmy Owens, a four-time Show-Me 100 champ, wound up fifth. "Call a friend and bring 'em tomorrow, it's gonna be one hell of a show," Davenport said. Davenport had the fast qualifying lap, circling the oval at 14.864 seconds in Group B. Alberson, the fast qualifier on Night One, paced Group A at 14.872. Wells wins 5th POWRi Late Models feature: Score another Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model victory for Justin Wells. The Aurora driver made it 5-for-5 this season in the division at Lucas Oil Speedway, beating Andy Bryant in the feature. Wells beat fellow front-row starter Bryant to turn one as the green flew and already had a 2.3-second lead two laps into the action, when a caution appeared. Tyler Kuykendall moved around Bryant on the restart for second as Wells quickly pulled away. His margin again was short-lived as a second caution slowed the action on lap five. After two more cautions before the midpoint of the 20-lapper, Wells broke away to lead Bryant by 3.7 seconds by lap 12. It was all Wells from there as, despite one more yellow on lap 14, the veteran beat Bryant by 3.8 seconds. Tucker Cox finished third with Kuykendall fourth and Shayne Bailey fifth. Wells won his 110th feature in his 2006 TNT Late Model chassis. He also qualified for the Gibson Tribute in his open Late Model car and finished 18th.

  RICKY THORNTON JR. TAKES LEAD LATE TO WIN "COWBOY CLASSIC"

  WHEATLAND, Mo. (May 23, 2024) - Ricky Thornton Jr. took full advantage of a late race caution, passing race leader Garrett Alberson with two laps to go to win the 11th Annual Cowboy Classic on Thursday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. The race was co-sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Lucas Oil MLRA. Alberson was in control of the 45-lap $10,000 to win event until the only caution of the race came out for second place running Chad Simpson with three laps to go. On the restart Thornton, who was running second, passed Alberson for the lead heading into turn three as the duo headed to the white flag. Thornton went on to earn his seventh Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season. Alberson had his best career finish with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, coming home in second with Devin Moran rounding out the Big River Steel Podium in third after having one of the fastest cars on the track at the finish. Chris Simpson, who led the first seven laps of the race was fourth with Spencer Hughes completing the top five drivers. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for 35th time in his career, Thornton was also celebrating his 400th overall career victory. "I knew I was the only one on a softer right rear. I didn't know if we were going to get any yellows or not. Really, he [Alberson] fired off better than I did. He missed the bottom those two laps in a row, and whenever he slid high on the backstraightaway I knew he would be in the slick and I tried to get far enough by him so he knew where I was going to be down there getting into three. I am sure he was watching the board there a little bit. We touched a little bit getting into three. It feels pretty special this is my 400th career win. It's been a lot of hard work and dedication to get to this point of my career." Alberson appeared to be on his way to his first career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory, but Thornton would take the point after the caution with three laps to go and lead the final two circuits to deny Alberson the win. "To be bummed out with a second-place finish is a good thing. I am super proud of this Roberts Motorsports team; they have been working so hard. We've had a really good race car; this is actually our best finish. I kind of needed more speed and momentum and I was a little too tight on the bottom. I didn't know what to do on that restart. Congrats to Ricky, he did the right things right there when he needed to. This car is really good. I think the long race is gonna fit it better." Moran, who won last year's Show-Me 100 made a late-race charge on the top to take home third. "I don't know if we will get this exact track again the next two nights. So, we will just see. We learned some stuff on this Double Down Motorsports car. So, we will take that into tomorrow and Saturday and see what happens." The winner's Todd and Vickie Burns, SSI Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms, Dyno One Inc., West Side Tractor sales, Bilstein Shocks, Sunoco Race Fuels, EMD Wraps, and Murty Farms. Completing the top ten were Daulton Wilson, Brian Rickman, Max Blair, Jonathan Davenport, and Gordy Gundaker.

  Last pass lifts Thornton to Cowboy Classic win as 32nd annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism begins

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 23, 2024) - Ricky Thornton Jr. pounced after a late-race restart Thursday night to overtake Garrett Alberson, kicking off the 32nd annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism weekend. Alberson took the lead on lap eight and held it until lap 43. A lap-42 caution in what had been a caution-free event, wiped out his sizeable cushion and Thornton made the winning pass diving into turn three with one to go in the 45-lapper at Lucas Oil Speedway. It was the 400th career win for the 33-year-old Thornton, of Martinsville, Ind. He earned $10,000 and valuable points toward a starting position in Saturday night's 100-lap feature. The opening-night headliner paid tribute to Allen "Cowboy" Chancellor, long-time owner/promoter of the Midwest Late Model Racing Association. The Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models also were in action, with Justin Wells earning the feature win in that weekly class for the speedway, in wire-to-wire fashion. A total of 63 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series/MLRA Late Models checked into the pits for opening night while 21 Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models were on hand. Alberson, who set a new track record in qualifying and earned the pole with a heat-race win, roared away from the start in a race that nearly went green-white-checkers. But a race-changing caution flew on lap 42 when Chad Simpson, running third, spun in turn two. That was all Thornton needed as he made the winning pass going into turn three with the white flag about to wave. He went on to grab his series-best seventh Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of 2024 in his SSI Motorsports Longhorn Chassis. "I knew I was the only one on a soft right rear (tire) and I didn't know if we were going to get any yellows or not," Thornton said. "Really, he fired off way better than I did. I don't know, he missed the bottom on those two laps in a row and whenever he slid high down the back straightaway, I knew he was going to be in the slick. "I just tried to get it far enough up where he knew I was gonna be down there. We touched a little bit getting into three, but it's awesome. This one is pretty special because it's my 400th win. It's been a lot of hard work and dedication." Alberson, of Las Cruces, N.M., said he felt vulnerable on the restart and managed to smile despite coming so close to his first LOLMDS win. "To be bummed out with a second is a really good thing," Alberson said. "I'm super proud of this Roberts Motorsports team. We've got a really good racecar. I was a little too tight to run the bottom and on that restart I was kind of a sitting duck. "Congrats to Ricky. They did the right things right there when they needed to. But this car is really good and I think a longer race is going to fit it better. Yeah, we're right there." For Thornton, it was a positive start in his pursuit of a Show-Me 100 title that got away from him a year ago when he was disqualified in post-race technical inspection after crossing the finish line first. "It's huge," Thornton said of the win. "Any time you can come here and have a good run, it shows how good your team and everybody is. I feel like the slicker this (track) gets the better our car keeps getting." Defending Show-Me 100 champ Devin Moran wound up third with Chris Simpson fourth and Spencer Hughes fifth. The Show-Me 100 is co-sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA. Alberson took over the race lead on lap eight from pole-starting Chad Simpson after Simpson led in the early going. Thornton moved around Simpson with five laps to go, just a couple of circuits prior to Simpson's spin and ensuing caution. One of the biggest movers of the race was Jonathan Davenport, a seven-time winner at Lucas Oil Speedway over the last two seasons. Davenport had to start at the tail of the 24-car field after going to a backup car after his heat-race race win and he was able to rally for ninth. Alberson set a new Late Models track record with a lap of 14.443 to pace Group A qualifying. Alberson, of Las Cruces, N.M., broke his own record of 14.456 which he established on Oct. 9, 2020 at the Lucas Oil MLRA Fall Nationals. Chris Simpson of Oxford, Iowa, led Group B at 14.803. A similar program is set for Friday night with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series/MLRA Late Models again racing a full program to earn points toward Saturday night's 100-lap finale and final qualifying races. Headlining the Friday action is the 40-lap, $10,000-to-win Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson in honor of the founders of the Show-Me 100 and long-time owners of West Plains Motor Speedway. Pit gates open at 4 p.m. with grandstands at 5, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05 p.m. Wells wins POWRi Late Models: Justin Wells of Aurora scored a dominating victory, leading all 20 laps in the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model main event. It was the fourth feature win in four attempts for Wells this season and 15th triumph over the last two seasons in the division. Johnny Fennewald was a distant second. Tucker Cox was third with Andy Bryant fourth and Tommy Cordray taking fifth. Wells narrowly missed making the feature in the Cowboy Classic, finishing third in a B Main when the top two advanced.

  LUCAS OIL MLRA TEAMS GEARING UP FOR RECORD PAYING SHOW-ME 100"

  Wheatland, Missouri (May 21, 2024) - For the second time in 2024, the Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) will find their way back to the confines of the Lucas Oil Speedway this weekend for the 32nd running of the "Show-Me 100" Presented by the Missouri Division of Tourism. A total of three nights of racing action will be on tap, as the nation's best from the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) join the Midwest best from the MLRA in this co-sanctioned event. This year's Show-Me weekend will boast a new record purse, paying out in excess of $275,000 over the course of the three nights of racing. Two critical qualifying nights will get the weekend going, as drivers fight for valuable points to be one of the top 18 teams that will be automatically locked into Saturday night's 100 lap main event. The winners take on both Thursday and Friday will jump from the traditional $6,000 to an impressive $10,000, making it possible for one driver to collect $70,000 if they can pull off the weekend sweep. The 11th Annual "Cowboy Classic" will once again get things started on Thursday, May 23rd. This weekend opener pays tribute to the longtime promotor and owner of the MLRA Allen "Cowboy" Chancellor, who was instrumental in the success of the regional series for many years. On Friday night, racing action will resume with another complete night of qualifying action, as the "Tribute to Don & Billie Gibson" takes center stage. The Gibson's were longtime owners of the West Plains Motor Speedway and are credited with starting the Show-Me 100 at their West Plains racetrack. Both Thursday and Friday will feature complete shows with all drivers competing in time-trial qualifying, heat races, B-Features, and A-Mains. There will be no Provisionals in either of the first two nights as all drivers will be forced to race their way into each nights respective A-Mains. SHOW-ME 100 "RACE DAY" -- Leading up to Saturday nights on track finale, will be a day full of activities at the Lucas Oil Speedway for fans, drivers, and teams alike. New in 2024 will be the 1st Annual Hellraizer Jacks "Pit Crew Challenge". This event will take place in the infield beginning at 3:30 pm, showcasing the top 18 teams that are locked into the night's finale. Each team will compete to see who can change two tires in the least amount of time with the winning team receiving $2,000 and a Hellraizer jack valued at $1,500. Nutrien Ag Solutions will once again present fans with a top-notch pre-race show featuring County Artist Creed Fisher performing some of his top songs before pre-race ceremonies get underway. This year's ceremonies will include a flyover by the KC Formation Flight Team following the presentation of colors and the National Anthem which will be performed by Fisher. Once action hits the track on Saturday night it will be time for drivers to go or go home, as B-Mains will be staged to fill out the balance of the starting grid. The Show-Me Challenge Presented by Midwest Sheet Metal will then give non-qualified drivers one last chance to race their way into the 100 lapper. The winner of this mini feature will have the option of taking $2,500 for the victory or opting to surrender the check and take the final starting spot at the tail of the 32nd Annual Show Me 100 for a chance at capturing the $50,000 crown jewels top prize. Jonathan Davenport swept both preliminary nights in 2023, while Dresden, OH driver Devin Moran claimed Saturday night's $50,000 top prize in the finale. On The Radar-- Last year's MLRA Sunoco Race Fuel Rookie of the Year Dillon McCowan has had his ups and downs through the first three rounds of MLRA action thus far in 2024, as the 20-year-old sits 7th in the overall season standings. However, a return trip to the Diamond of Dirt Tracks may make for no better time or place for the Urbana, Missouri driver to make his mark on the series. McCowan is coming off an impressing win this past weekend at the Kankakee County Speedway and was running in the top three the following night at the Highland Speedway before becoming involved in an incident that ended his night. In his first ever attempt at the Show-Me 100 one year ago, McCowan not only raced his way into the show but also came home with an impressive 6th place showing, which was highest among all MLRA drivers. In 2022 McCowan scored the victory in the Modified portion of the Show-Me, and now with a full year of late model experience under his belt he will look to find the top of the podium come Saturday in his Sonic # 8. MLRA Top 5--Heading into this weekend, there are a total of 18 MLRA drivers with perfect attendance chasing after a share of the series championship point fund. The familiar # 25 of Chad Simpson along with brother Chris Simpson occupy the top two spots, just as they left off one season ago. A new face to the MLRA in Gordy Gundaker sits in third after a strong podium finish at the Adams County Speedway back on May 5th.

  32nd Annual Show-Me 100 Offering Plenty of Excitement On and Off Track

  BATAVIA, Ohio (May 20, 2024) - The 32nd Annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism at Lucas Oil Speedway will offer a tremendous fan experience in addition to the on-track excitement expected over the three-day mega event. This year's event, co-sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association, will also see an increase in purses for both Thursday and Friday's events. The next event in the Arizona Sport Shirts Crown Jewel Cup will pay a massive $50,000 to the winner on Saturday night, with a total purse of over $275,000 over the three days. The Memorial Day weekend kicks off on Thursday May 23rd with the 11th annual Cowboy Classic, honoring the long-time MLRA owner/promoter Allen "Cowboy" Chancellor. The feature headlining the program will pay $10,000 to win. The Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson on Friday, May 24th will honor longtime West Plains Motor Speedway owners Don and Billie Gibson who started the Show-Me 100 in 1991. This event will also pay $10,000 to win to the winner of the main event. Drivers will earn points in each of the two preliminary nights; those points combined will determine the line-ups for Saturday night's $50,000 to win, $2,000 to start finale. Before Saturday's main event, several activities will take place during the day adding to the overall fan experience at the "Diamond of Dirt Tracks." The inaugural 54 Outdoor Kids Fishing Tournament will take place on Lake Lucas from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Kids will get to fish with drivers from both the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Lucas Oil MLRA. Following the 54 Outdoor Kids Fishing tournament, a Pit Crew Challenge competition will take place, presented by Hellraizer Jacks, in the infield of the track starting at 3:30 p.m. Race teams that are locked into the top 18 of points for Saturday night's main event will compete for cash and products to see which crew can change two tires the fastest. The winning crew receives $2,000 and a New Hellraizer jack valued at $1,500. Also, during the day, the Lucas Oil Speedway midway will be open that includes a Go-Kart track for fans and kids, midway full of T-shirt vendors, food vendors, bounce houses and displays all leading up to the Nutrien Ag Solutions Pre-Race Ceremonies. Fans will be entertained with country outlaw singer Creed Fisher starting at 5:30 p.m. presented by Nutrien Ag Solutions. Following Creed Fisher, fans can get their favorite drivers autograph during the Lucas Oil driver autograph session that will start at 6:15 p.m. Hot laps are scheduled to start at 7 p.m. with opening ceremonies to follow. During opening ceremonies, sponsor representatives from the Missouri Division of Tourism, Nutrien Ag Solutions, and Creed Fisher, as the grand marshal, will be recognized. The presenting of the colors and a huge American Flag will be displayed in the infield as Fisher sings the National Anthem with the KC Formation Flight Team doing a special flyover at the conclusion of the Anthem. Following opening ceremonies there will be B-mains and the Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge that is always dramatic as it is the final chance for drivers to get into the Show-Me 100. It is a non-qualifiers race where the winner can take either the $2,500 check or opt to give it back for a spot at the rear of the Show-Me 100 starting lineup. "This year's Show-Me 100 will be a must-attend event for fans as they get to experience a variety of activities at Lucas Oil Speedway while enjoying the plush campgrounds, great fishing and the great amenities that Lucas Oil Speedway offers," said Wayne Castleberry, Corporate Sales and Marketing for Lucas Oil Motorsports. "We are excited about having Creed Fisher this year and cannot thank Nutrien Ag Solutions and Steve Martin enough for all their support of this event. We also want to thank Stephen Foutes at the Missouri Division of Tourism for their continued support of this event. These great partners will add to the fan experience and solidify this event as one of the must attend crown jewel events of the year." The POWRi Late Model division also will have programs Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.

  "Diamond Dozen" of storylines to watch as 32nd annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism nears

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 20, 2024) - One of the great weeks of the Dirt Late Model season has arrived. It's time for the 32nd annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism with the first of three nights of action on Thursday at Lucas Oil Speedway. There will be countless activities happening, on and off the race track, for everyone to enjoy. Before fans converge on south-central Missouri and turn the small city of Wheatland into a major mecca of dirt-track racing, here's a look at a "Diamond Dozen" of storylines to watch as the Lucas Oil Dirt Late Model Models and Lucas Oil MLRA Series arrive at the Diamond of Dirt Tracks: Is this RTJ's time? Ricky Thornton Jr. was the first to take the checkers at the 2023 Show-Me 100, but was penalized in post-race inspection for his car's deck height being 3/8-inch too high, elevating Devin Moran to victory lane. It was a crushing way to lose for Thornton, who went on to win an amazing 23 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series features. He's back at it again this season, already with a series-leading six wins. Look out for Superman: When it comes to Lucas Oil Speedway, no one is better than Jonathan Davenport. After his sweep of the Lucas MLRA Spring Nationals doubleheader in April in which he led all 100 laps, "Superman" has seven feature wins at Wheatland over the last two seasons. The Blairsville, Ga., driver won both preliminary night features at last year's Show-Me 100 and is looking for his first win in the 100-lap finale since 2015. Moran takes aim: The defending race champion is Devin Moran, but the Ohio driver admits the way he won last year was not fully satisfying as it came at Ricky Thornton Jr's expense. In a feature story in the Show-Me 100 official souvenir program, available at the Lucas Oil Speedway Track Treasures gift shop, Moran said it was "obviously it was not quite the way we wanted to win, but at the end of the day we got the big check and the trophy so it's always a great thing to come out of there with some money." Expect a dramatic finish: Since Jonathan Davenport led all 100 laps in dominating the 2015 Show-Me 100, the last seven editions of the race (the 2019 event was canceled due to storm damage) have seen the final lead change occur on lap 87 or later three times. Payton Looney led the final 70 circuits to prevail in 2020,. No recent Show-Me is more memorable than 2016 when Jimmy Owens took over with just eight laps remaining. Show-Me State hopes: Payton Looney of Republic became the second Missourian to win the Show-Me 100 when he scored a popular victory in 2020, joining Terry Phillips (1999) the only home-state winners. Looney is part of a contingent of Missourians who will be chasing victory lane again and that list includes 20-year-old Dillon McCowan from nearby Urbana, who ran a strong sixth in last year's 100-lap finale. Three nights, three features for a record purse: While everything will build toward the 100-lap, $50,000-to-win main event on Saturday night, there are three full nights of racing scheduled. Action kicks off on Thursday with the 10th annual Cowboy Classic, honoring the long-time MLRA Owner/Promoter Allen "Cowboy" Chancellor, headlining the program. On Friday, it's the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson, in honor of longtime West Plains Motor Speedway owners Don and Billie Gibson who started the Show-Me 100 in 1991. Results from the first two nights will help set the lineup for the big finale. The record total purse over the three days will exceed $275,000 for the co-sanctioned Lucas Oil Late Model and Lucas Oil MLRA event. Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge always dramatic: The final race prior to the Show-Me 100 is Saturday night's Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge. It's a non-qualifiers race where the winner can take either the $2,500 check or opt to give it back for a spot at the rear of the Show-Me 100 starting lineup. Chris and Jan Davis of Midwest Sheet Metal have sponsored the race since 2013. The first year, Mike Marlar won the race and went on to run seventh in the Show-Me 100 after starting 33rd. Chris Simpson parlayed his win into a last-to-third run in 2015 to earn $6,000 and Bobby Pierce went from last to briefly leading the race in the late going, before a flat tire relegated him to sixth in 2016 to earn $5,000. More Late Models: It will be all Late Models this year as the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models will serve as support class for this year's event. Veteran racer Justin Wells of Aurora, the reigning track champion in the division and who already has three feature wins this season, will be pulling double duty driving his POWRi Late Model and his Open Late Model this weekend. Kids Fishing Tourney: The inaugural 54 Outdoor Kids Fishing Tournament will take place on Lake Lucas from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday as kids will get to fish with drivers from both the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Lucas Oil MLRA. To learn more about the kids tournament visit the RCR Designs Jr. Fan Club Facebook page. Pit Crew Challenge: Following the 54 Outdoor Kids Fishing tournament, a Pit Crew Challenge competition will take place, presented by Hellraizer Jacks, in the infield of the track starting at 3:30 p.m. Race teams that are locked into the top 18 of points for Saturday night's main event will compete for cash and products to see which crew can change two tires the fastest. The winning crew receives $2,000 and a New Hellraizer jack valued at $1,500, compliments of Hellraizer Jacks. Nutrien Ag Opening Ceremonies with Creed Fisher: Nutrien Ag Solutions will sponsor the pre-race ceremonies and entertainment for this year's Lucas Oil Show-Me 100-presented by Missouri Division of Tourism with recording artist Creed Fisher as the Grand Marshal for the event. Fisher will hit the stage to perform several of his hit songs, along with the National Anthem following the presenting of the colors and the flag. The KC Flight Formation Team out of Kansas City will do a special flyover and mini-air show at the conclusion of the National Anthem. Nutrien Ag Solutions and the Missouri Division of Tourism will be recognized in the ceremonies. Door panel auction for a great cause: In what's become another one of the great traditions of Show-Me 100 weekend, Ozarks Area Racers Foundation Hall of Fame photographer Ron Mitchell's Door Panel Auction will return to the hillside between the spectator entrance and main grandstands. Saturday's silent auction, featuring door panels of many Late Model and USMTS drivers, has raised more than $60,000 over the years to benefit the American Cancer Society.

  Phillips hangs on for USRA Heartland Modified Tour victory in Lucas Oil Speedway headliner

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 11, 2024) - Terry Phillips led all 30 laps, but it was a hard-fought battle to the finish as the veteran driver from Springfield captured a USRA Heartland Modified Tour feature win Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Phillips earned $2,000 for the victory, which also was the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified headliner of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series. Phillips held off Gabe Hodges by .209 seconds in a close battle that came down to the final turn, pitting the old pro against a young gun. Other feature winners on Vietti Marketing Group Night at the Races were Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models), William Garner (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars) and JC Morton (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods). A total of 115 cars checked into the pits, including 50 USRA Modifieds. Phillips, in his own Bloodline Race Car, utilized the low groove around the track from start to finish in his first added-money win at Lucas Oil Speedway in quite some time. "I love coming up here. I run pretty decent in my Modified," Phillips said, noting the extra-thrill of victory in front of fans who rarely get to see him race near home as he's moved to top-level Modified racing full time in recent years. Phillips started on the pole after the pre-race redraw and led the way as the 30-lap feature began. But five cautions through five completed laps prevented him from building a margin between himself and second-place Gabe Hodges. As green-flag laps finally were logged and the race started to get a rhythm - it remained green the final 25 laps - Phillips led Hodges by just under one second when he caught lapped traffic on lap 13 with Tyler Wolff running a close third. Phillips hugged the low groove - as did the other contenders - until Hodges ducked to his inside in turn three on lap 19. Phillips was able to fend him off and Hodges moved up the track on lap 21 with Wolff putting the pressure on him. That allowed Phillips to extend his league to one second by lap 25. The leaders hit heavy traffic at the white flag adn Hodges closed in for one final charge. Phillips was able to hang on by a car length at the checkers with Wolff right behind. Phillips said he felt the presence of Hodges throughout, especially in the late going. "I was watching the 'prompter' down the back straightaway," Phillips said of the video board overlooking turn three. "I've been doing this for a little while, Just as long as I didn't get excited. I slowed down a little bit and made sure I hit my marks. "He had a good run there, but our car felt good," the 57-year-old Phillips added. "Instead of going forward, I just slowed down a little bit. An old-man tactic, I guess." Hodges, a 21-year-old from Lebo, Kan., said he thought he had a shot at passing Phillips on the final lap but wasn't quite able to get it done. "We were really good in the feature, we just got all clogged up down on the bottom," Hodges said. "I wish I'd have went to the middle there a little sooner. I really thought I had it going on there that last lap, but just could quite get clear." Reigning track champ Ryan Middaugh finished fourth with Paden Phillips coming home in fifth. Wells prevails again in POWRi Late Models: Justin Wells of Aurora made it three Lucas Oil Speedway victories in as many attempts this season, holding off JC Morton for the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model feature win. The reigning track champion held off Morton by about three car lengths at the finish to repel Morton's strong late charge. It was his 108th win in the 2006 TNT Chassis. The feature took a while to get going as two cautions were recorded before a single lap was completed. When some green-flag laps were recorded, Wells wasted no time opening a three-second lead over Tucker Cox just five laps into the race. Wells' lead went away due to another pair of cautions at that point, as early top-five contenders Larry Jones and Joe Walkenhorst dropped out. Wells held a one-second lead over Morton by lap-10 when the race's fifth caution flew. As action resumed, Morton pulled alongside Wells down the backstretch on lap 13. Wells rode the high line to hold off the charge and maintain the lead, but by lap 17 he had again opened up nearly a one-second edge. Morton mounted a last run on the final lap, but Wells held him off by one-half second for his latest victory. Tyler Kuykendall made a late pass of Tucker Cox to finish third with Chad Walter completing the top five. Garner grabs USRA Stock Cars win: William Garner took the lead on lap six and held off a late charge by Waylon Dimmitt to grab the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win. Brent Fielder started on the pole and led the opening five laps before Garner got around him on lap six. One lap later, the race's first caution came out with another flying on lap nine when Fielder spun in turn two after he had been battling Jaylen Wettengel for second. Wettengel, Dimmitt and Rodney Schweizer all were putting pressure on Garner after the restart with James McMillin also joining the fray. But as the foursome battled behind him, Garner was able to drive to a 1.2-second lead by lap 14. As the race remained caution-free the rest of the way, Dimmitt became Garner's chief threat as the white flag waved. Garner was able to hold on by a half-car length or .109 seconds in a thriller. Wettengel officially was elevated to a second-place finish after Dimmitt's car failed post-race tech. McMillin was third with Schweizer fourth and Mason Beck fifth. Morton drives to B-Mod triumph: Springfield's JC Morton led all 20 laps for the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win, dominating in a Bloodline Race Car just like the night's headliner and his stablemate Terry Phillips. Morton - who also was a close second in the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model feature earlier in the evening - started third but had the lead by the completion of lap one. Pole-starting Andy Bryant gave chase with Bobby Williams in third. As the drivers navigated a bumpy surface entering turn one, Morton opened up a 2.4-second cushion over Bryant by lap seven and had a 3.3-second command when a caution came out on lap eight. Getting a clear track ahead after the restart, Morton wasted little time in pulling away from the field and re-establishing his comfortable lead as Bryant battled Eric Turner for second. By the time Morton caught up with lapped cars, he was three seconds clear with five to go. But the event's second caution put some mystery back into the outcome, forcing Morton to again execute on a restart. Bryant went to the high groove as the green flew, but Morton continued his dominance on the bottom. Morton rolled from there and wound up 2.3 seconds ahead of Bryant with Turner third, Trevor Drake fourth and Williams fifth. "The track had a little bit of character, but (the track crew) did good with all the rain we've had," Morton said, adding that he and Phillips have been working together to dial in the Bloodline cars.

  Moran Returns to Lucas Oil Victory Lane with $30,000 Win at Fairbury

  FAIRBURY, ILLINOIS (May 18, 2024) - Devin Moran regained the lead from Jason Feger on lap 45 and went on to win the FALS Spring Shootout - Presented by Titan Industries on Saturday night at Fairbury Speedway. Moran collected $30,000 for his second Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season. Moran, who won the track's signature event, the Prairie Dirt Classic in 2018, held off Ricky Thornton, Jr., the defending PDC champion for the win. Brandon Sheppard took third followed by Feger, and Jonathan Davenport. Moran started on the outside of the front row and took the lead at the start of the 60 lap-race. Mike Marlar grabbed second behind Moran at the start as he trailed last year's runner-up in the championship points for the first 16 circuits until Feger, who started sixth took over second from Marlar on lap 17. Feger was not done yet and after reaching second took just two more laps to get the lead passing Moran on lap 19. Feger, who entered the race with three career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victories used the outside line to try and extend his lead out over Moran, and Sheppard who had climbed to third. The trio of Feger, Moran, and Sheppard ran that way until Moran was able to regain the point from Feger on lap 45. Thornton then started to get going, after running outside the top five for several laps. The current championship point leader, who was looking for his fourth series win in a row, moved into the second spot as Feger fell to fourth behind Sheppard. Moran stayed glued to the bottom of the track as the race went with a long stretch of green flag racing to the end. Thornton made a last-ditch effort on the final circuit but came up 0.760 seconds short of Moran at the finish. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane, for the tenth time in his career, Moran, who currently sits third in the championship standings was relieved to get back to Victory Lane at Fairbury for the first time in 6 years. "I was trying to be patient and save my tires a little because he was running the top," said Moran after seeing Feger pass him for the lead. "I saw there was 25 to go and I knew it was time to go, I knew I needed to get by him. Feger didn't move down, and thank goodness, because it worked out for us. It's hard to lead here when you see the 20RT behind you on the scoreboard, but fortunately for me I was able to stay on the bottom, I wasn't going to move from there." Thornton who has six Big River Steel Podium finishes in 2024, all wins, had his first second-place finish of the season. "If I could have won my heat race, I might have had a better shot at the win. I didn't fire off as good as I needed to and it kind of took me a while to get going. We just slowly and methodically worked our way forward. There for a while I thought Feger was going to win the thing; he took off like a rocket there. Congrats to Devin; his stuff has been really good." Sheppard, who rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third, tried valiantly in the last 10 laps to get by Moran and Thornton using the top line, but couldn't get close enough. "They were all single file around the bottom, and I figured I could give it a whirl once at least. I think I could have been more aggressive at the beginning of the race. I had a pretty good balanced car all night long." The winner's Roger Sellers, Double Down Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Lazydays RV, Big River Steel, C&W Trucking, Bilstein Shocks, McHugh Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram, Red Oak Pub, Haulin' Haskell's, Car Source Auto, and Smoky Mountain Speedway. Completing the top ten were Mike Marlar, Nick Hoffman, Tim McCreadie, Mike Harrison, and Cody Overton.

  Thornton Comes from Eighth for Third Straight Lucas Oil Triumph

  FARMER CITY, ILLINOIS (May 10, 2024) - It wasn't an easy win for Ricky Thornton Jr. who from the eighth starting spot to take the lead on the 71st circuit after race leader Shannon Babb slowed on the track. From there, Thornton led the remaining four laps of the Farmer City 74 on Friday night to take the victory. Thornton was the third different leader of the race as he went on to win his third straight Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event, earning $25,000 out of the $85,800 feature purse for his 34th career series win. It was the second ever visit to the Illinois bullring for the series as the event drew a stout 55-car field. Jonathan Davenport came home in the runner-up spot followed by the third straight Big River Steel Podium finish for Garrett Alberson. Dennis Erb Jr. finished fourth followed by 16th-place starter Jimmy Owens, who rounded out the top five finishers. Davenport jumped to the early lead with former Dirt Track World Championship winner Garrett Smith holding down the second spot. Smith held the runner-up position until Thornton, who started on the outside of the fourth row, moved in second around Smith on lap 24. Davenport and Thornton dueled it out for the lead until Babb joined the party, as the veteran Illini racer and fan favorite, came from ninth and powered to the lead of the race on lap 55. Thornton moved by Davenport to take over second as he challenged Babb for the lead up until lap 70 when Babb suddenly slowed on the track and headed to the pit area out of the event. Thornton then went on to lead the final four laps for the win. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane, for the sixth time in 2024, Thornton was relieved the race was over where 21 of the 30 starters finished the race as traffic played a huge role in the event. "I got second to JD and I'm like man it was going to be a real good night for us. We got to traffic, and I closed up on him a little bit and I thought man I've got a shot here, but I don't want to do something dumb and put myself in the wall in three and four. I moved him up a little bit and it really killed my line. I really wanted to go to the top on those restarts and I'm like if I give Babb the bottom, he was going to drive right by me and if JD gets the top he was going to get by me. I don't know but that's probably the hardest we have drove in a while. I want to thank JD for leaving us a lane every time and the same with Shannon there. It was a wild one." Davenport, who is seeking a record-tying fourth Lucas Oil championship came home in the runner-up position after leading the most laps of any driver with 54. "That's the best we have been here by far. It just wasn't good enough. I probably should have got up and run the top a little bit more. I just couldn't steer getting in. We changed a few things and went a lot stiffer on the front. I just couldn't steer good enough to run the top like I wanted to. I just stayed straight and run the middle there. I was pretty good. Man, I hate that for Babb because after he passed me, I was cheering him on." Alberson, who won a regular show last Friday night at Famer City got his third straight and fourth of the year Big River Steel Podium finish as he continues to show improvement though the season. "We have learned some things in the last month or so that seems to have really worked on our car up here. I am just super proud of the team. It's super cool to run here in front of these fans at a track I love to race on. I hadn't had a good finish here in a long time before last week and tonight." The winner's Todd and Vickie Burns, SSI Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms, Dyno One Inc., West Side Tractor Sales Company, Bilstein Shocks, EMD Wraps, and Sunoco Race Fuels. Completing the top ten were Chris Simpson, Hudson O'Neal, Cody Overton, Ryan Gustin, and Tim McCreadie.

  Five Drivers to Compete for O'Reilly Auto Parts Rookie of the Year in 2024

  BATAVIA, Ohio (May 10, 2024) - Five drivers have declared to compete for the title of O'Reilly Auto Parts Rookie of the Year with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series in 2024: Brenden Smith, Carson Ferguson, Clay Harris, Cory Lawler, and Drake Troutman. With O'Reilly Auto Parts returning as the title sponsor of the Rookie of the Year program in 2024, the driver to prevail will once again earn an industry high $20,000. In addition to their cash award, the Rookie of the Year will also receive product certificates from various product manufacturers - valued at an additional $10,000. Second and third place in the final Rookie of the Year standings will pay $5,000 and $2,500 respectively. Brenden Smith, an 18-year-old residing in Dade City, Florida began his racing career in 2009 at just four years old. Following numerous kart victories, Smith made the step up to late models in 2017. Within a year, he'd already earned his first victory. Smith is looking forward to chasing his dream of competing on the national tour this season. The elder of this year's rookie class, Carson Ferguson is a 24-year-old from Lincolnton, North Carolina. Ferguson, who has fielded an entry in the regional spotlight with Paylor Motorsports for several years, filled the void left by Tim McCreadie who left the team in April. Ferguson is aware of the tall task ahead but is up for the challenge and recognizes the experience gained will be crucial to his future in the national scene. 22-year-old Clay Harris of Jupiter, Florida began racing karts locally at age five. After accumulating an impressive 422 karting victories and thirteen championships along the way, Harris made the move to late models in 2017. Clay earned five wins in his first fourteen starts and has continued to find success behind the wheel of late models and modifieds. Cory Lawler is the son of Pennsylvania standout Pancho Lawler. The 22-year-old pilot of the iconic number 93 began his racing career at age eight in quarter midgets. After multiple championships in quarter midgets, Lawler moved up to 125cc micro springs then on to 600cc winged micros where he enjoyed much of the same success including numerous victories and track championships. From there, Lawler stepped into the late model ranks where he has competed alongside his father for the past several years. The father-son duo has now shifted their focus to finding success on the national scene in 2024 and beyond. Like many of his fellow Rookie of the Year contenders, 18-year-old Drake Troutman of Hyndman, Pennsylvania began his career early in life, racing karts at age four. After stacking up over 50 kart victories, Troutman shifted to modifieds at age eleven. After adding a late model to the stable, Troutman has become a standout with over 50 modified and late model triumphs and multiple track championships on his resume. Drivers battling for the O'Reilly Auto Parts Rookie of the Year title in 2024 will pursue the entire Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series schedule and see a scattering of racetracks for the very first time. This year's schedule is composed of 63 events at 28 unique venues across 16 states spanning from January to October. In addition to the increased awards to the Rookie of the Year, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will pay a $100 cash bonus to the highest finishing rookie driver in each feature event. "We are excited to have a great group of drivers chasing the O'Reilly Auto Parts Rookie of the year award in 2024. The sport is full of young and up and coming stars and we look forward to show casing their talents on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt series. Huge thanks to O'Rielly Auto Parts for sponsoring the program and offering the cash awards. Also want to thank all the sponsors of the series that will contribute additional product awards to the Rookie program," stated Wayne castleberry, Corporate Sales and Marketing for Lucas Oil Motorsports.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Jason Pursley looks forward to Heartland Modified Tour visit to his home track

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 9, 2024) - It's pretty safe to say that Jason Pursley has made more laps around Lucas Oil Speedway - especially in a USRA Modified - than anyone else since the track opened in 2006. That is one reason Pursley feels he has at least a fighting chance when the new Heartland Modified Tour rolls into Wheatland for the first time as the headliner of Saturday night's Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series program. With $2,000 awaiting the winner of the Arctic Food Services USRA Modified feature, several United States Modified Touring Series stars likely will be on hand as the USMTS series is idle this weekend. Pursley said he always enjoys the challenge of going up against the best of the best in Modified racing. "It's basically gonna be a USMTS show," Pursley said of Saturday. "It was the same way a couple of weeks ago in Humboldt, for the season opener of the Heartland Tour. The USMTS was rained out and those guys show up. When they do, you know they're gonna be really, really tough to beat ... but they're a lot of fun to race with. "If you do happen to run well or beat the, you know that you've done something." A full night of action awaits as the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods, Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock cars also will be on the program. All Moms will be admitted free courtesy of Vietti Marketing Group. The Heartland Modified Tour came into being this year to provide a boost to weekly USRA Modified racers, who have seen a steady decline in car count over the last few years. Pursley said it's a welcomed opportunity to help the Modified division throughout the region as the HMT runs in conjunction with weekly programs at the tracks it visits. "I'm real excited about this new series," Pursley said. "The last few years, as the B Mods have grown and MW Mods and all the other Mod classes have come into fruition, the A Mods have kind of been struggling a little bit. I'm hoping this series makes for a little more interest in A Mods and helps the tracks that run A Mods." Pursley, knowing as the "Racing Superintendent" for his job as Superintendent of Hickory County R-1 Schools in Skyline, will have to sit out the first half of this weekend's doubleheader on Friday at Lebanon Midway Speedway. It's graduation night at Skyline High and figures his day job must take precedence. "The job pays a little more than racing, so I guess I'd better go and do my job," Pursley said with a laugh. But he's eager to fire it up on Saturday, hoping that a home-track advantage might help level the playing field against top competition. "If I'm going to have to race against those guys, I'd want it to be at Lucas just because I have so many laps there," he said. "The only USMTS race I almost won was at Lucas, when Jason Krohn ended up beating me and I ended up second. But I'm always excited to race against those guys, especially on my home turf." Pursley had a fifth-place feature run at Humboldt last month in the Heartland Tour opener, then had a second last weekend at Springfield Raceway finishing between USMTS regulars Terry Phillips and Tanner Mullens. While starts have been limited so far, he's ready to see how his nearly new MB Customs car owned by long-time car owner Tom Campbell fares this spring and summer. "Tom got this car last year and we raced it at USRA Nationals and a couple of times this year," Pursley said, noting the red wrap scheme has replaced his traditional blue one. "So far, we've really liked the car. It feels different than the old MB Customs car we had. The corner speed is a lot more than the other one. Any time you have more corner speed, you have more straightaway speed." With five career runner-up finishes in pursuit of a Lucas Oil Speedway track championship, Pursley said his season goals include winning the elusive championship on his home track and earning top-10 in Heartland Modified Tour points. "The Heartland series and Lucas only have about two conflicts, so I think we'll be able to run them both," he said. "So those are our goals and hopefully we can attaint them." This marks the second Weekly Championship Series program of the season at Lucas Oil Speedway after an April 27 rainout. Feature winners on April 20 were Robbie Reed (USRA Modifieds), Ryan Gillmore (USRA B-Mods), Justin Wells (POWRi Late Models) and Derek Brown (USRA Stock Cars).

  Smith, Reinbold, Paulus score Impact Signs Awnings & Wraps Open Wheel Showdown wins at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 4, 2024) - Wesley Smith of Nixa led all 25 laps to capture the POWRi WAR Sprint League feature victory Saturday night, turning a close battle into a runaway late as he beat Jack Wagner by 2.8 seconds. The victory, at the 13th annual Impact Signs Awnings & Wraps Open Wheel Showdown at Lucas Oil Speedway, moved Smith into second place in all-time POWRi WAR wins with 14. Smith is 2-for-2 in 2024, adding to a feature win in the season opener at I-70 Speedway. "I think they put some new dirt on this surface and definitely for the better," Smith said of Lucas Oil Speedway. "It's definitely a little tricky. It's not the smoothest or the fastest surface I've ever raced on, but it's one of the funnest. It seems the WAR Series is putting on some great shows." Smith started up front and led the opening lap as Kory Schudy moved into second before a caution flew on lap two. Wagner, of Lone Jack, moved around Schudy for the second spot two laps after the restart. The order remained that way as the laps ticked by with Smith maintaining a quarter-second lead over Wagner. Those two waged a tremendous battle for the lead as the race reached lap 12 when Wagner couldn't quite pull off a slider for the lead. No matter what Wagner tried, Smith was up to the challenge and he was able to use lapped traffic to expand his lead to close out the wire-to-wire victory. "Man, that was a fun race," Smith said, noting Wagner's near-pass eight eight laps remaining. "I told him after the race 'if you'd have waited one more corner and one more lap, you'd have passed me.'" Schudy, of Battlefield, Mo., finished third with Keith Martin of Cleburne, Texas, coming home in fourth. In other divisions of the Open Wheel Showdown: Reinbold earns first POWRi Midget League victory: Hayden Reinbold of Chandler, Ariz., dominated from start to finish for his first POWRi National and West Midget league career victory. The 20-year-old Reinbold started on the pole and rolled to the lead in a race slowed by only one early caution. He opened a 2.2-second command over Shannon McQueen by lap nine and maintained consistent laps the rest of the way to lead all 15 circuits. McQueen, of Bakersfield, Calif., held off 15-year-old Gunnar Setser of Columbus, Ind., for the runner-up positions. Broc Elliott of California, Mo., finished fourth. "We've been struggling a little bit lately, so we came down here to run POWRi and we had a lot of fun," Reinbold said. "It was a bummer we were rained out last night (at Callaway Raceway) but we were super happy to show that we have some speed. "This place is awesome. The facility is nice," Reinbold said of Lucas Oil Speedway. "I've been here once before and I crashed, but I had a lot of fun (tonight). This place is sick." POWRi Ozark Region 360 Sprints: Miles Paulus overtook Randy Martin with three laps remaining and went on to score his first POWRi Ozark Region 360 Sprint feature victory. Paulus, of Marshall, started fourth and gave chase to Martin most of the way before finally reeling him in and making the decisive pass. Paulus wound up beating sixth-starting Gunner Ramey and Paulus at the checkers. Martin sprinted to the lead from the start as Paulus gave chase and had a one-second lead over Paulus 10 laps into the feature. As the race continued under green, Paulus cut the lead to .090 of a second by lap 16. Paulus completed his march to the front by sliding past Martin in turn two on lap 17 with Ramey, from Sedalia, right behind. Once out in front, Paulus pulled away as Martin, of California, Mo., and Ramey went back-and-forth for second. Paulus finished 3.06 seconds in front of Ramey with Martin settling for third. "Everybody on the side of this car ... I get to stand here and say that I won, but we won as a team," Paulus said. "I'm very grateful for their support. It's a team effort."

  Thornton Sweeps Mid-Atlantic Weekend with Port Royal Triumph

  PORT ROYAL, PA (April 28, 2024) - Ricky Thornton Jr. swept the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Mid-Atlantic swing, winning on Friday night at Georgetown Speedway in Delaware and Sunday night at Pennsylvania's Port Royal Speedway. Thornton led every lap of the Battle in the Borough to score his 33rd career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win. With the weekend sweep Thornton becomes the first driver to go over $100,000 in season earnings after picking up the $10,000 victory at Port Royal. It was not easy at Port Royal for Thornton as Mike Marlar stayed within striking distance throughout the race. Marlar ended up in the runner-up spot at the checkers; 1.538 seconds behind the winner. Garrett Alberson earned his second straight Big River Steel Podium finish by taking third. Jonathan Davenport and Devin Moran, who dropped back as far as 15th rallied to round out the top five. "I felt like my stuff was really good there," said Thornton who was in Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the fifth time in 2024. "I was trying to play it a little in one and two, but I think I let Mikey get a little closer to me. Luckily the yellow came out because I think maybe he would have won. I have got to thank whoever brought out that yellow because it put me back out front. It was starting to get a little treacherous there up top, but I figured if you were going to win you had to be up there." "I have a little bit of body damage. I had to settle back down a little bit after I saw Mikey there. You go so fast down the straightaways here it's easy to overshoot the top and that will get you in trouble. I knew I had to calm down; like I know we have a good car, so I didn't want to mess it up. For the most part most the traffic was patient, and they left me a lane around the top." Marlar tried several times to pull even with Thornton in turns one and two but could never muster enough to clear him to officially lead a lap. "That's just how it goes sometimes. Ricky should have won the race here last year, but broke. That's part of the comings and goings in racing. I'm just glad we were able to race him good. We were horrendous on Friday night. We got rained out last night, so it feels good to head back to Tennessee on a good note. This track is unbelievable. You can race 10 different ways here into the corner. I felt like I drove the car good there and felt like I made good decisions. I got by him, but it didn't work out." Alberson earned his third, third-place finish of the season - inching closer and closer to his first career series win. "Hats off to the track crew; that thing was really fun; you could move all over the place. I think we needed to stay green there because they [Thornton and Marlar] started dicing there in lapped traffic and I kind of had a lane that they weren't running in. I think it could have gotten really good. I am just super stoked to drive this car and I love these big tracks." The winner's Todd and Vickie Burns, SSI Motorsports ,Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms, Dyno One Inc., West Side Tractor Sales, Bilstein Shocks, EMD Wraps, and Sunoco Race Fuels. The rest of the top ten finishers were Max Blair, Mason Zeigler, Jimmy Owens, Tyler Erb, and Carson Ferguson.

  Ricky Thornton Jr. Goes Back-to-Back at Georgetown

  GEORGETOWN, DE (April 26, 2024) - For the second consecutive year, Ricky Thornton Jr. was a man on a mission at Georgetown Speedway. The current Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points leader won the Melvin L. Joseph Memorial Race earning $19,049 on Friday night. Thornton led all 49 laps to earn his fourth series win of 2024. Devin Moran finished second followed by Garrett Alberson, Jonathan Davenport, and Ross Robinson. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 32nd time in his career, Thornton exclaimed he has taken a liking to Georgetown's race track the last two years winning both times the series has appeared at the 3/8th's mile. Moran tried to make it close when the two encountered traffic, but timely caution flags thwarted any ideas that Moran had to overhaul Thornton. Thornton's winning margin at the finish was 1.679 seconds. "I love coming here," said Thornton. "I wish we were here more often. I don't know, there is something about this place that fits me. I am not sure if we had the best car or not, I felt like when I got to traffic, I got slowed down quite a bit. The car was really good. We have a lot more work the next two nights, it's definitely a good way to start the weekend. I moved up in three and four and I thought it's hairy out here. My crew told me to get back to the bottom. My car was good after those restarts; the yellows came out at an opportune time for me when I got to traffic." Moran continued his surge in the series with his third straight Big River Steel Podium as he nailed down the runner-up spot at the checkers. "I felt like I could keep pace with Ricky. I don't think I was any better than him. I was hoping to get in lapped traffic. I was wanting to be able to try it on the top of three and four, but Ricky and those guys are obviously always on it so congratulations to those guys. All-in-all it was a good run. I have a decent track record here at Georgetown. I love coming here to race." Alberson, who led several laps in this event a year ago rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "I am not sure why I get around here so well. Growing up I didn't think tracks like this would be my thing. I am just super proud of my guys. It was really fun. I was surprised how much speed you carry off in there. It didn't look like it had the banking to be able to do that. Hats off to Ricky and Devin; it was a fun race." The winner's Todd and Vickie Burns, SSI Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and is sponsored by Big River Steel, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms, Dyno One Inc., West Side Tractor Sales, Bilstein Shocks, EMD Wraps, and Sunoco Race Fuels.
