  Jackson Jr. rolls to victory at Lucas Oil MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 3, 2022) - The late-season hot streak continues for Tony Jackson Jr., this time with a victory on a track near home. Jackson took the lead on lap 12 and rolled from there, capturing the 8th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. The driver from Lebanon earned a total $9,250, including $1,500 in bonus money from Mary Jenkins for the win plus $750 for setting fast qualifying time. A total of 108 cars, including 33 Late Models, checked into the pits in the annual Labor Day Weekend special which honors the builder of the original Wheatland Raceway, Ron Jenkins. Other feature winners were Matt Johnson (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds), Kris Jackson (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods Presented by the Titan B-Mod Series) and Bryan White (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). The main event saw Jackson take command just past the quarter mark of the 40-lapper. The 2021 MLRA champ went on to capture third third series feature win in the last month in a new Capital Race Car. Jackson said he was content to stalk the leader early after conferring with Capital owner Marshal Green prior to the action on chassis set-up. "I knew he was going to be tough," Jackson said of early leader Kolby Vandenbergh. "He runs really good here. When I went over it with Marshal tonight, that was just how we planned on it. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't." Vandenbergh beat Jackson to the lead at the start in a battle of front-row starters and those two sprinted away to set the early pace, with Billy Moyer Jr., running third and Logan Martin fourth. Jackson dipped to the inside groove by lap seven and pulled alongside Vandenbergh over the next several laps, taking the lead at the start-finish line to complete lap 12. The race's first caution flew the next time around when Moyer, running third, slowed to a stop in turn one. Martin slipped past Vandenbergh on the restart with Oberkramer taking over the third spot. Martin was right behind Jackson as those two opened a one-second lead over Oberkramer by the race's midpoint of lap 20. Vandenbergh slowed, then pulled off the track, to bring out a caution at that point and bunch the leaders that included MLRA points leader Chad Simpson in fourth and Payton Looney fifth. Oberkramer used the restart to navigate around Martin to move into second. Jackson opened up a 1.2-second lead when the race's third caution for a slowing Brennon Willard wiped out Jackson's advantage with 13 to go. "It's always good to have one of your buddies behind you," Jackson said of Oberkramer, who also drives a Capital and pits alongside Jackson. "But Mason had come from a long way back, so I was nervous also. I knew he has a good car. "I was a lot more comfortable there when I was able to roll around the middle, but I had to go back up (to the cushion) and do some work." Jackson stretched his lead to 1.6 seconds by lap 35 and was able to get around lapped traffic the rest of the way to earn his third MLRA victory in the last five series events. Jackson finished 1.53 seconds in front of Oberkramer for his 14th career MLRA feature win. Martin wound up third with Simpson fourth and Looney in fifth. Oberkramer, from Broseley, Missouri, said he was pleased with the outcome after starting from the sixth position. "I'm gonna count this as a win for us," Oberkramer said. "Ever since we got this car from Marshal, we just haven't been able to hit it here. It's like Lucas has been my nemesis and it used to be one of my favorite tracks. To finally land a good podium finish and be back up, where we belong, it feels reassuring." Jackson began the night in fast fashion, setting the quickest qualifying lap at 15.302 seconds. Blair Nothdurft drove from 21st to 8th to earn the Hard Charger Award, picking up an extra $750 award courtesy of Mary Jenkins. The MLRA weekend swing concludes on Sunday night at the Randolph County Raceway in Moberly. Johnson rolls to USRA Modified victory: Matt Johnson of Archie led all the way, beating two-time reigning track champion Dillon McCowan by 2.6 seconds, for the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature win. "I knew that 7 (McCowan) was right there and I didn't have time to mess around," said Johnson, who earned $1,000 for his third victory of the season. "Dillon is a lot of fun to race with, as are these other guys." Johnson grabbed the early lead from his outside front-row starting position with McCowan moving from fifth to second by lap four. Those two soon pulled away to a 1.5-second gap over third-place Dustin Hodges. The leaders encountered lapped traffic with Johnson's lead over McCowan expanding to six car lengths by lap 15 and double that by lap 20. Johnson remained solid the rest of the way as the action remained caution-free, pulling away to earn the victory. Titan B-Mod win to Jackson: Lebanon's Kris Jackson captured his seventh Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win of the Lucas Oil Speedway season, taking home $1,000 for the Titans B-Mod Series 25-lapper. Jackson led all the way, but fought off Mitchell Franklin in the early stages before finally opening up a cushion over the final 10 laps. It was his 23rd overall feature win of 2022. "I thought for a second me and Mitchell were going to be side-by-side for 20 laps," Jackson said. "I've got a lot of respect for that young man and his father (Josh). They build their own race cars and do a whale of a job. Mitchell's a smooth racer and we share an engine builder. "I wanted to give him all the room that he would need. We had a nice, good race. I was just praying that if I could keep a nose in front of him and we could get a caution, I felt it would be the deal-breaker." Franklin pulled alongside Jackson on the outside several times during the opening 10 laps, but was unable to get by. Jackson kept hugging the low line to maintain his lead as a caution flew on lap 11 to slow the action. Shadren Turner moved into second on the restart, but Franklin regained second by lap 14. As those two swapped position, Jackson took advantage and opened a 1.1-second lead. Jackson kept stretching it out from there as the action remained under the green flag the rest of the way. He finished 2.2 seconds in front of Turner with Franklin third, Robbe Ewing fourth and Sheets taking fifth. Bryan White scores USRA Stock Cars win: Bryan White patiently stalked the leader before finally taking over the top spot with five laps remaining and went on to take the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars main event. Front-row starters William Garner and White set the pace the first portion of the race, with Wille settling into third as the trio separated from the field by more than 15 car lengths. White hugged the bottom groove to pull alongside Garner repeatedly, but was unable to nudge past as the two young Lebanon drivers dueled. A caution flew on lap 16 when fifth-place running Doug Keller spun in turn four. As the race resumed, the battle up front resumed with Garner in the middle of the track and White inside. White finally edged past coming to the completion of lap 20 held on from there as he held off Garner by one car length. Wille was third, on Garner's back bumper. "It was real fun. Me and Will were racing side by side there for several laps and it was real fun," said White, who earned $750 a week after wrapping up the regular-season championship. The top three were separated by .679 seconds. Mason Beck, who started 11th, finished fourth and James McMillin came home fifth.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Rejuvenated Jackson returns for 8th annual MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 1, 2022) - With two recent Lucas Oil MLRA feature wins in his pocket, Tony Jackson Jr., will bring a renewed enthusiasm to Lucas Oil Speedway for Saturday night's 8th annual Ron Jenkins Memorial. A rough start to the season, including failing to qualify for the Show-Me 100 big show at Lucas Oil Speedway, led Jackson to sell his stable of Late Model cars and take a break to regroup. Armed with a new Capital Race Car, the 25-year racing veteran from Lebanon returned a couple of weeks ago to capture MLRA events in Iowa. "I feel rejuvenated and blessed to be where we're at," Jackson said. The Ron Jenkins Memorial, paying tribute to the man who built the original Wheatland Raceway, is the final Late Model special of the season at Lucas Oil Speedway. The Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds will run for $1,000 to win and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars will have a $750 feature prize. The Ozark Golf Car USRA B-Mods will battle for a special $1,000-to-win top prize Presented by the Titan B-Mod Series. Jackson, the MLRA Series champion in 2013 and 2021, said he took a brief break over the summer when results weren't up to par and his cars just didn't feel right. "I don't know, I'd raced for a long time and I knew what kind of feel you look for and I didn't feel that I had it," Jackson said. "Obviously everybody thinks they can get the job done, but you start doubting yourself. "I had no intentions of quitting. I just needed to regroup. That's what we did. We kind of stopped, took a deep breath and rebuilt on a program that we know what it takes to win." The connection to Capital Race Cars owner Marshal Green made sense, Jackson said, because he had known Green for a long time and he recommended a Capital car to fellow area racer and friend Payton Looney a few years ago. Looney went on to win the 2019 Show-Me 100 in his Capital, giving the Georgia-based company additional national credibility. "Payton was at a point where he was struggling and I told him that Marshal was a very good person and he went that route," Jackson said. "He's had a bunch of success and at the same time, when I was struggling, I was talking to Payton and he's like 'I think you'd be happy with a Capital.' "I had stayed in contact with Marshal and it was just an easy move." But winning right out of the box with a new car is pretty rare. Jackson said Green's advice seemed to fit perfectly from the get-go. "It just fit me, the way we talk and communicate," Jackson said. "You want good balance in your race car and it was just a really good race car when we unloaded. "We definitely have a lot of confidence and momentum going forward." Jackson said his goals the rest of the way are simple. His time away from racing didn't affect any plans to chase points, as he intended all along to be selective with his racing choices. "It was a kind of a weird year. We had no points racing plans," he said. "Business is really busy and my daughter is getting older. We planned on hitting a lot of the bigger-paying shows ... but we just had no speed, so we stopped and regrouped. "Now we're going again and look forward to trying to win as many races as possible and just basically build our notebook with these cars and be ready to come out strong next year." Last year, he drove Chad Wheeler's Modified at the USRA Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway and would consider hopping in someone else's ride again this October if given the opportunity. "I like supporting all the local tracks around," Jackson said. "I'm still that guy who just likes to race. If somebody gives me something to race, I'll go race it." The $7,000-to-win, $700-to-start Lucas Oil MLRA event is the middle night of a three-race MLRA swing that begins Friday at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, and concludes Sunday at Randolph County Raceway in Moberly. Chad Simpson of Mount Vernon, Iowa, will be looking to continue his pursuit of the MLRA season championship. He begins the weekend with a 280-point lead over his nearest pursuer, Kolby Vandenbergh of Ashland, Illinois. Grandstands and the pits open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.

  Bryan White wins family affair for USRA Stock Car championship; McCowan, Jackson, Ferris also wrap up Lucas Oil Speedway titles

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 27, 2022) - Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night at Lucas Oil Speedway saw three of the four championship chases decided by less than 25 points. In action Presented by Bill Roberts Chevrolet-Buick and On Media, the closest battle came in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars, with Bryan White's second-place feature finish enough to edge out his dad, Rob White, for the championship. Other Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series track champions crowned on Saturday night were Dillon McCowan (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds), Kris Jackson (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Larry Ferris (Hermitage Lumber Late Models). McCowan also celebrated with a feature win, making his night doubly sweet. Rodney Schweizer captured the Stock Cars feature victory, Ryan Gillmore earned a B-Mod feature thriller and Tucker Cox grabbed the Late Model main event. Bryan White, who began the night 12 points ahead of Rob, finished third with Rob in second. The unofficial final margin between the two was eight points. Mason Beck, who began the night two points behind Bryan White, ran 15th to fall back to third in the points. "I'd like to thank everybody on my car, my family over here and everybody who helps me every week," Bryan White said. "It's just a dream, really, to even win a race over here let alone a championship." Pole-starting Schweizer, Dean Wille and Robert White ran 1-2-3 through the first 11 laps, with a caution slowing the field at that point. Rob White moved into second on the restart, with Bryan White advancing two spots and into fourth. Bryan White advanced into third and onto the back bumper of his dad on lap 14, which made it where he could clinch the title by staying there. Schweizer barely held off Rob White's attempted pass for the lead on lap 18 when a two-car incident in turn one brought out a caution to set up a two-lap shootout. The top three remained the same taking the white flag with Bryan White bumped past his dad in turn two of the final lap - but a spin on the other end of the track brought out one more yellow to leave a one-lap sprint to the checkers. Schweizer, of Kansas City, Kan., held on for the win by one car length over Rob White with Bryan White third. "We've had enough seconds this year. It's about time," Schweizer said after the win. Wille wound up fourth with William Garner charging from 14th to fifth. McCowan doubles up in USRA Mods: Dillon McCowan of Urbana enjoyed a double celebration, winning both the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature while also nailing down his second straight track championship. McCowan beat Dustin Hodges, his nearest points competitor, by 1.9 seconds after taking over the lead on lap five. He held it the rest of the way in a caution-plagued 20-lapper. McCowan was driving a yellow No. 7 wrap modeled after cars his grandfather, A.D. McCowan, used to own. Dillon switched to the color scheme from his familiar green and white No. 8 after midseason. "I don't even know what to say. This is huge," McCowan said in victory lane. "Being here with my grandpa's wrap on, it's very special even though he couldn't be here. I'm just really excited to get this done for him. "It was a close battle between me and Dustin and I was glad we were able to seal the deal." McCowan began the night 17 points in front of Hodges in the points battle and he began the feature starting in fifth, two spots ahead of Hodges. He stayed in front of him throughout. Dylan Hoover started on the pole and set the pace through five laps while McCowan worked his way into second with Tracy Wolf in third. McCowan got a big run on a lap-six restart to take the lead, getting around Hoover in turn two. Two laps later, Dowell moved past Hoover and into the runner-up position. McCowan's lead was nearly two seconds over Dowell when a lap-12 caution slowed the action. Despite two more cautions the rest of the way, McCowan was able to handle each restart and went on to capture his seventh feature win of the season to go along with the championship. Hoover finished third with Dowell fourth and Nic Bidinger in fifth. Jackson makes it seven titles in USRA B-Mods: Ryan Gillmore beat JC Morton by a couple of feet in one of the closest finishes of the season, earning the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature. The race had six lead changes between the duo. The big prize, though, went to Lebanon's Kris Jackson whose fourth-place finish was good enough for his Lucas Oil Speedway-record seventh track championship and fourth in a row. He also earned championships in 2012, 2013 and 2014. "We weren't as good as we wanted to be tonight," Jackson said. "We kind of played it a little safe and rode around the bottom and just made sure we finished in the top five." Gillmore started the night 30 points behind Jackson and did all he could, winning his third feature of the season. But it wasn't quite enough - though his scant margin of victory over Morton (.036 seconds) gave the fans a dazzling final race of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series season. "That was a fun race. Lapped cars really saved my life on that one," Gillmore said. "JC was so much better than me on the bottom of (turns) one and two and I got to four to go there and I was trying to figure out an option when lapped cars showed up. "I kind of pressured him and he was gracious. He definitely could have took it from me at any time and I appreciate him racing me me clean." Morton started outside of row one and wasted no time setting the early pace, with Jon Sheets second and Jackson third when the race's first caution appeared on lap two. Two more cautions appeared before two more laps could be completed. Finally, after a fourth caution on lap six, the race settled into a rhythm. Gillmore got a big run on lap seven to sail around the outside of Jackson and into second and he used the same move a lap later to grab the lead away from Morton. Morton rode the inside line to pull alongside Gillmore over the next several laps, with Andy Bryant and Jackson running third and fourth. Morton regained the lead by a half car length on lap 13, but Gillmore again rode the cushion to go back on top two laps later. The back-and-forth tussled continued with Morton going back in front on lap 16. Those two entered lapped traffic the next time around and they were separated by a few feet taking the white flag. Gillmore made it six lead changes in the final 100 feet, coming around the outside of turn four as Morton was hindered a bit by a lapped car as the two Springfield drivers came to the finish together. Bryant finished third with Jackson fourth and USRA Modified national points leader Shadren Turner of St. Joseph, in fifth. Cox earns Late Model win as Ferris clinches title: Jefferson City's Tucker Cox couldn't catch Larry Ferris in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model points chase, but Cox led all 20 laps to capture the championship-night feature victory. Cox beat Matt Becker by 1.5 seconds at the finish and was never seriously threatened throughout the event. Ferris completed his track-championship season by finishing third. "I felt like we'd been about a third-place car all year," Cox said. "Finally, I didn't overthink it for the future and it was really good." Cox started on the pole and roared to the lead as the feature went green. While Ferris had mathematically clinched the title before the feature, he trailed Cox by 1.4 seconds when the race's first caution flew on lap four. Ferris slipped back to fifth after the restart as Cox opened a 1.2-second lead over Matt Becker by the midpoint on lap 10 and Cox's margin ballooned to 3.4 seconds by lap 14. The runaway was erased a lap later as third-running Bryon Allison spun to bring out a caution. Cox said he didn't mind the caution because he was nearing lapped cars that could have potentially caused him issues. "Right before that last yellow came out, I was like a yellow would be all right, right now," Cox said. "I knew we were really good on restarts." Cox once again dominated after action resumed, rolling to a comfortable win over Becker with Ferris rallying for third, Joe Walkenhorst finishing fourth and JC Morton fifth. Ferris said he couldn't have asked for a better season or a better-performing car from April through August. "We've had a good season. We sure can't complain about how the car has run," Ferris said. "I think I've lacked a little bit, like tonight."

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Ferris closes in on Late Model championship, with USRA Modified in the works

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 17, 2022) - The only downside to the 2022 Lucas Oil Speedway season for Larry Ferris is that there aren't enough races to quench his thirst. "I wish we could work something out so we could race more," Ferris said. "I know we've had a couple of rainouts, but I wish we could race 15 or 20 times a year over there." The veteran driver from Nevada has been a force in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model division each of the seven times he's hit the dirt this season, posting three feature victories and four runner-up finishes. Add it up, and Ferris has built an 80-point lead in the Lucas Oil Speedway season championship chase over Tucker Cox. He looks to add another victory - and edge closer to his first points title at the speedway - at Saturday's Public Safety Appreciation Night Presented by KOLR. All police, fire and rescue personnel admitted free with ID. The Hermitage Lumber Late Models will be the featured class with a 25-lap, $1,000-to-win main event. Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds, Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars also will be in action. As good as Ferris has been this season, he said results could have been even better. "We've had a pretty good year, but we let a couple of races get away because we made maybe the wrong tire choice. And maybe part of it was the driver, too," Ferris said. "So it's been good, but it could have been better." But he admitted that winning a championship "would be really neat" even though he's never started a season with a specific goal of points racing. "I would to like do it before I quit," Ferris said of a Lucas Oil Speedway championship. "I'd like to check that off my list. Winning races has always been our number one goal. That's what I'm gonna try to do the rest of the year, try to win both races that we have left." Ferris, 51, has been at the top of his game since debuting a Captial Race Car chassis in 2021, when he earned three feature wins at Wheatland in 10 attempts. "We have a far better car than we've ever had," Ferris said. "This Captial Race Car has really changed our program around. We're the best we've been (at Lucas Oil Speedway) for sure. It fits my driving style with very few adjustments needed. The car is just consistent, lap after lap. That's what I like about it." Ferris gives credit to Brian Larimore from Dirt Track Specialists, his son Ryan Ferris and Dave Collins for helping turn wrenches, plus Josh Poe from Scott Bailey Racing Engines. "I shouldn't say anything, but this is the third year on the motor and it has about 1,250 laps on it," Ferris said. "I hope it makes it the rest of the year. I know it will." While Ferris' Late Model season will end with the Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night on Aug. 27, he's putting together a USRA Modified to race this fall. There will be a couple of opportunities to run it at Lucas Oil Speedway - during the MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial program on Sept. 3 and the USRA Nationals Oct. 3-7. Ferris said he last ran a Modified in 1997 "so it might take me a lap or two to get used to it again." "I like racing in the fall when it's cooler," he said. "There's nowhere to race the Late Model. We've had this car for three years now and never have put it together. So we're gonna run it some this fall. Within next 2-3 weeks, we hope to get it done." Special Late Model drivers' meeting: Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton has announced that a special Late Model-only drivers' meeting will be held at 5 p.m. Saturday in the eBay Motors Tech Building to discuss rules for 2023. All Late Model drivers are asked to attend the meeting.

Drivers with the most tickets used on Aug. 27 will win one free season pit pass for 2023. Gates to the dirt track open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.

  Johnny Scott Gets Biggest Win of His Career in Diamond Nationals Victory

  Wheatland, MO (July 16, 2022) - Johnny Scott led all but the first lap in picking up the biggest win of his career on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. The 32-year-old New Mexico native scored the $15,000 win in the 16th Annual CMH Diamond Nationals. The event was co-sanctioned with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Lucas Oil MLRA Series. Scott, who entered the race tied with Chad Simpson atop the MLRA points now stands all alone before the series heads to Moberly, MO on Sunday. The 50-lap main event ran caution-free and took just 14 minutes and 32 seconds to complete. Jimmy Owens, who has been to victory lane at Lucas Oil Speedway eight times in his career had a shot at Scott in the closing laps but came up just short of his fifth career Diamond Nationals victory. Brandon Sheppard also made a late-race charge to come home in third. Mark Burgtorf in his first appearance this year with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series finished in fourth followed by pole-sitter Kyle Strickler who was fifth at the finish. Owens led the first lap before Scott bolted to the lead on the second circuit getting by the four-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion. Owens and Strickler had an excellent race for second as those two drivers went back-and-forth for the spot with Owens getting to second in the last six laps of the race. Owens brought Sheppard with him, rapidly closing in on Scott towards the end of the race. Just as Owens looked like he would have a shot he ran into some difficulty with traffic that forced him to change his line and Scott slipped away from him for the win. For Scott it was his third win of the season at the "Diamond of Dirt Tracks" and his fifth of the season with the Lucas Oil MLRA Series. "I was just trying to maintain my lead through lapped traffic. I knew I needed to get around those guys and I also knew the top just wasn't there. I thought if I could run my lines and stay consistent, I thought I could hold them off. I knew they were right there. It worked out for us, thanks to my brother (Stormy Scott) and his crew without them none of this would be possible either; they help me a ton on this car. I am glad we could finally put it all together tonight." Owens made up several car lengths in the closing laps coming up just short of his fourth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of 2022 as he finished 0.679 seconds behind the race winner. "We were just moving around; the bottom was so dominant all race long. It was really surprising, it's usually not like that. We were just trying to get around lapped cars and I saw Johnny wasn't pulling those guys and I couldn't really pass them. I thought heck I would get up there and try the top, I just got up there about three or four laps too late. Johnny's been good here the last several times he's been here. Hats off to those guys they deserve a good win." Sheppard with his third-place finish closed the championship points race as he now sits just 100 points behind Tim McCreadie before the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series heads to Huset's Speedway in Brandon, SD on Tuesday night for the first time. "The track slowed down a lot there at the end. We were able to move out on the racetrack some. It was a solid night for us. I couldn't ask for much more than that. Obviously we wanted to win. The car was really good hopefully we can keep this momentum going and carry into next week. I am looking forward to coming back, the track was awesome you couldn't ask for much more than that." The winner's Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Mesilla Valley Transportation, Rancho Milagro Racing, Eagle Moon Hemp Farms and Lab, Big Deal Car Care, Ed and Trudy Healy, Penske Racing Shocks, Simpson Race Products, Swift Springs, Top of the World Ranch, Slicker Graphics, and Race Ranch Clothing Company. Completing the top ten were Tim McCreadie, Garrett Alberson, Earl Pearson Jr., Spencer Hughes, and Daulton Wilson.

  Johnny Scott shines, hangs on late to capture 16th annual CMH Diamond Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 16, 2022) - Johnny Scott took command on lap two of the 16th annual CMH Diamond Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment and never gave up the lead - even as four-time race winner Jimmy Owens made a frantic late charge. It was enough to make Scott plenty anxious, with Owens closing in and with lapped traffic to navigate on the final circuit around Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday night. But Scott, of Las Cruces, New Mexico, held on to beat Owens by .678 seconds in a caution-free 50 laps that clicked past in just 14 minutes, 32 seconds. Scott, a one-time nationally renowned Modified ace, earned $15,000 and a diamond ring for the biggest victory of his Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA career. "It's a heck of a night," Scott said in victory lane. "I've been trying so hard to win these Lucas Oil races. It just feels good to get one." Brandon Sheppard rallied late to finish third with Mark Burgtorf fourth in his first appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway. Strickler slipped over the last two laps and finished fifth in the quickest Diamond Nationals in terms of elapsed time. Scott earned an MLRA Spring Nationals feature win at Lucas Oil Speedway and the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson during Memorial Day Weekend, a preliminary to the Show-Me 100. The Diamond Nationals triumph marked his fifth Lucas Oil MLRA victory of the season and gave him back the series points lead. It did get a little nerve-wracking near the end as Owens, who's also a four-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champ, made it interesting. "My stick guy was telling me they were coming," Scott said of the final two laps. "I knew they were right there. It worked out for us, that's all I can say. I just have to thank all my crew. Without them none of this would be possible, and my sponsors. "Everybody at Longhorn (chassis) and my brother (Stormy), without them none of this would be possible. They help me a ton on this car. I'm just glad we could put it all together." Third-starting Owens, of Newport, Tennessee, got a great run at the start and had the lead after one lap, but it was Scott moving from fifth to first by lap two. He would lead Owens as the duo entered lapped traffic until Kyle Strickler slipped past Owens and into the runner-up spot on lap 22. From there, Scott's lead peaked at 2.09 seconds by lap 35 as the leaders continued to work slower traffic. Scott had a difficult time for several laps getting past his brother, Stormy, along with Logan Martin and Tyler Erb and that allowed Strickler and Owens to gain ground. Owens regained second by lap 45 and continued to cut into the margin, trying to work the high side as Scott maintained his line and said tried to stay consistent. "We were just moving around," Owens said. "The bottom was so dominant the whole race. It's usually not like that. We were just trying to get around lapped cars. I just got up about three or four laps too late. "I had the opportunity to win the race. I just slipped up off the bottom and let Johnny get by me. I knew he was going to be tough to beat. He's been good here the last several times he's been here. Hats off to those guys. They deserve a good win." Sheppard called his third-place run solid with his car finding its best footing near the end. "It (the track) slowed down there at the end and we were able to move out on the race track some. It was a solid night for us. Obviously we wanted to win, but the car was really good and we had a solid night. Hopefully we can carry some of this momentum into the next couple of weeks." Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points leader Tim McCreadie finished sixth. Johnny Scott had the fast overall qualifying lap in time trials - which started about an hour later than planned due to a late-afternoon rain shower - at 14.762 seconds in Group A. Spencer Hughes had fast time in Group B at 15.059. A total of 35 Late Models entered the Diamond Nationals, one more than in 2021. Hudson O'Neal, who won the first two legs of the weekend tour at I-70 Speedway and Tri-City Speedway, wound up 11th after starting 18th. Johnson rolls to USRA Modified victory: Matt Johnson of Adrian captured his second Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature win of the Lucas Oil Speedway season in five attempts, leading all 20 laps. He finished 3.2 seconds in front of Dustin Hodges. Johnson started on the pole and immediately grabbed command, running off to a four-second lead over Hodges nine laps into the event. But a caution wiped out that big margin and bunched the field for a restart. Once again, Johnson exerted his dominance and drove off to win by nearly a straightaway margin as the final 11 laps went without a caution. Along with his two wins, Johnson has three other top-four finishes at the speedway this season. Hodges edged Robbie Reed, track champ in 2019 and 2020, for second. Reigning points champ and 2022 championship leader Dillon McCowan wound up fourth and Nic Bidinger was fifth. "This track is amazing right now," Johnson said. "I'm blessed to have my family with me tonight and I couldn't be happier. "I was worired about my tires sealing over and I tried not to run too hard. But hats off to Scott Bailey Racing Engines and Tommy McCoy has this MB Customs on a rail." USRA Stock Cars win to Willie: Dean Willie earned his second O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win of the season, holding off William Garner by one car length. Willie, of Warresnburg, started fifth and he took over the lead from Rodney Schweitzer coming off turn two on lap four. But Schweitzer used the inside groove to regain the top spot the next time around. The order stayed that way until they flipped positions again on lap 13 as Willie edged by and William Garner was right behind the top two. Garner advanced into second on lap 16 and pressured Willie the rest of the way, but could not get by. Willie prevailed by .341 seconds. It was Garner's second straight runner-up feature finish. "We were just a little bit tight tonight," Willie said of the car, "but we figured out enough to make it happen. Somebody was there on me and got me plumb sideways on that last lap. That's racing. It made it fun. We were tight at the end and causing me to be higher on corner exit than I wanted to be." Schweitzer finished third with Ed Griggs fourth and Robert White taking fifth.

  O'Neal Wins at I-70 in Inaugural Lucas Oil Visit

  Odessa, MO (July 14, 2022) - Hudson O'Neal inherited the lead when race leader Brandon Sheppard suffered mechanical issues heading to the white flag on Thursday night at I-70 Speedway. Sheppard brought out the last caution of the race as he slowed on the main straightaway. The lap 28 Stop Tech caution set up a green-white-checkered finish in the inaugural visit by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA Series (co-sanctioned). O'Neal led the last two laps for the win. Jimmy Owens got around current Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series point leader Tim McCreadie on the final restart to finish in the runner-up position. McCreadie came home in third followed by Kyle Strickler and Ricky Thornton Jr. Owens jumped to lead around Sheppard on the opening lap in a race that was shortened to 30 laps from its originally scheduled 40 laps due to high engine temperatures and air temperatures which reached over 100 degrees during the day. Owens led the first 11 circuits before Sheppard assumed command, but a fateful lap 28 ended his hopes for his seventh series win of the season. "I don't really know what happened yet, we haven't assessed the damages," stated Sheppard. "We know the motor let go we just don't know why. We were all running really hot out there. As hard as we were running it's definitely disheartening. We had a really fast race car all night long and for it to end like that is disappointing for sure." In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the second time in eight days and for the 15th time in his career the 21-year-old Indiana native felt bad for Sheppard who held a three-car length lead over O'Neal as the two headed to the white flag. "You just hate to win one like that, I think we were going to run first and second there. I would rather be lucky than good any day. We had a strong night all night long; we qualified good, heat raced good had a really good piece there in the feature. I am just so proud of my guys, and I am glad everyone is here this weekend." Owens who was seeking his fourth series win of the year and the 81st of his career with the series came up 0.562 seconds short of O'Neal at the finish. "We had a good car the whole time. I kind of assumed that high side was going to come in a little bit, but I didn't know it was going to come in that good. We were just running wide open around there without even lifting. I was able to maneuver down there and keep up with those guys." McCreadie will maintain the series point lead heading to the next series stop in Granite City, Illinois on Friday night. "On a track like tonight when the water temps are going way up, I have just got to pick my battles out there. I figured on the last restart we needed to be one better and Jimmy got by us. As far as the points stuff it's still so earlier, it's mid-July there's a long way to go." The winner's Roger Sellers/Double Down Motorsports Rocket Chassis is powered by Cornett Racing Engines and sponsored by Lazyday's RV, O'Neal's Salvage and Recycling, Lucas Oil Products, Smoky Mountain Speedway, WR1 Sim Chassis, Integra Racing Shocks, and Dynamic Drivelines. Completing the top ten were Tyler Erb, Garrett Alberson, Daulton Wilson, Ross Robinson, and Chad Simpson.

  Midweek Madness coming to Lucas Oil Speedway next Wednesday, featuring different types of cars than normal

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 14, 2022) - Some different types of cars than normal will be in action at Lucas Oil Speedway in a special Wednesday Night Midweek Madness program next week. Legend cars, Pure Stocks, Midwest Mods and USRA Tuners are scheduled for the week-night show. All four classes will run $300-to-win main events. "We're looking forward to seeing how this goes as we wanted to give some drivers and classes who don't normally get a chance to race here an opportunity," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. One class that could be particularly intriguing is the Legends, which are scaled-down versions of 1934 or '37 Fords or '37 Chevrolets, coupes or sedans. The cars may look similar to some of the Vintage cars that have competed at Lucas Oil Speedway, but they are different. "These cars are made to be equal," said Dave Comer of Joplin, who races and is parts dealer for the cars. "It comes down to set-up or driver. Nobody is gonna out-money you. Every part you put on is the same as the other guy's got." To give fans a frame of reference on the speedway the Legend cars carry, Comer said the Legends typically will get around the track about one second slower than USRA B-Mods. Comer said he's estimating about 30 Legend cars to enter, with drivers from at least seven states. Included is an expected entry from Keelan Harvick, 10-year-old son of NASCAR star Kevin Harvick. Pits and spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Diamond Nationals Spotlight: Local fan favorite Cornell eager to debut new car

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 13, 2022) - Local fans could have a renewed reason to cheer one of their favorites Saturday night as Lucas Oil Speedway plays host ot the 16th annual CMH Diamond Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment. Kaeden Cornell, a 21-year-old from Willard who won the speedway's "Most Popular Driver" voting in runaway fashion four seasons in a row (2017-2020) will have a new Black Diamond chassis for the Rick Hoover Motorsports team. Cornell and Hoover were top contenders in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model division while racing weekly at Lucas Oil Speedway before branching out to try the rugged waters of open Late Model racing the last two seasons in the Lucas Oil MLRA Series. "The car K's been driving in a nine-year-old chassis," Hoover said. "We were bringing him up slow to make sure he got comfortable running with these big boys and all. He's there. He was there quite a while ago. But we needed to upgrade the car." Hoover said he spent considerable time during Show-Me 100 weekend at Wheatland visiting with Ronnie Stuckey of Stuckey Enterprises, which builds the Black Diamond chassis out of Shreveport, Louisiana. Hoover said Stuckey talked about the need for younger Late Model drivers in the pipeline as many of the sport's veterans are getting older. "He said, 'I've been watching 'K' quite a while.' I made a deal with him," Hoover said. "I went and got a new Black Diamond and we're gonna get a lot of help from Ronnie. This guy is so smart when it comes to race cars. "We've got the car ready. Everything on it is brand new. We don't have our new motor ready. We're gonna have to run the little one. But that's all right, we'll get him used to the car which won't take long." Cornell, who did manage a sixth-place in an MLRA feature a few weeks ago in Norfolk, Nebraska, is understandably elated. The team plans to break in the car - in the familiar-looking white wrap with blue-and-orange trim - on Thursday night at a combined Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series/Lucas Oil MLRA event at I-70 Motorsports Park in Odessa. "I think we probably have been needing this for a while," Cornell said. "Finances and everything, it took a while to get there. We finally got it and I think it'll be good and at least get us somewhat even with the field. Everyone we're racing against, it's tough. They're on a endless budget and they're all really, really good at what they do. "I'm just thankful for everything Rick's done for me. We've been together five or six years now. There's not a lot of that around here anymore, kids my age that get opportunities like this. I'm super thankful to Rick and everybody who helps me out." While the results haven't always been what he's desired since leaving the weekly racing scene, Cornell said he's learned a lot about the Late Model game. Mainly, he's found out how aggressive one has to wheel the car to keep up - especially against the national-touring series. "I get to line up and race against people I've watched my whole life," Cornell said. "Half the people I race against, I have their t-shirts that I bought when I was a kid." Hoover said the outpouring of support via text message, social media or word-of-mouth since news of the new car was released tells him that Cornell's popularity among the local fans has not waned. "It's unbelievable You wouldn't believe the fans and support, the texts and phone calls," Hoover said. "This kid has so much backing. We're not running much local since we went MLRA, so only chance they get to him race is video. This kid has so much backing it's unreal. He's such a good kid. Very humble." Asked his goals for this weekend and beyond, Cornell said he just hopes "to make Rick look good and Black Diamond to look good." Along with Hoover Motorsports and Black Diamond, team sponsors include DR Racing, Choate Farms, Midwest Sheet Metal, Oil & Octane, Swift Springs, True Form Racing Products, Simpson, Super Moon Graphics, Cloverleaf Auto Repair and Dynamic Drivelines." The Diamond Nationals will award the 50-lap feature winner $15,000 and a diamond ring. Also on the program will by the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds with a $1,000-to-win feature and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars running for a $750 first prize.

  Brandon Overton Gets First Career Gopher 50 Win at Deer Creek

  Spring Valley, MN (July 9, 2022) - In front of a record crowd at Deer Creek Speedway, Brandon Overton held off Chris Madden's furious charge to win the NAPA Auto Parts Gopher 50 on Saturday night. Overton earned $50,000 for his victory in the co-sanctioned Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series/Lucas Oil MLRA Series and denied Madden an additional $25,000 bonus. When Overton took the race lead on lap 23, he had to hold off both Madden and Tim McCreadie as both of those drivers were breathing down his neck when a caution flag came out with three laps to go. McCreadie and Mike Marlar also led laps during the race. On the restart Overton held his line to score his third Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the year and first big payday of 2022, winning by 0.514 seconds over Madden. McCreadie with his third-place finish is now the new Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series point leader with the series heading to I-70 Speedway in Missouri on Thursday night for the first time. Brandon Sheppard who entered the event as the series points leader finished 20th and now trails McCreadie by 50 points in the chase for the $150,000 to win national championship this year. Both front row starters for the richest race ever at Deer Creek, Jonathan Davenport and Madden accepted the money challenge of a $25,000 bonus from Tralo Companies and Speedwerx they would give up their front starting positions and start 11th and 12th. If one of those two drivers would have won the race, they would have earned a $75,000 payday for winning the race. Marlar finished in fourth with Ricky Weiss rounding out the top five finishers. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 14th time in his career Overton becomes the sixth different winner in six series races that have paid $30,000 or more to win in 2022. "I probably just got lucky there at the end. You have heard of the phrase 'sittin' duck' that's what I felt out there. I know Madden had come from a ways back. I tried to not slip the tires there on that last restart. He (Madden) has been awfully good. Like I said, what an unbelievable feeling to get us one at Deer Creek. I am as happy as I could be." With the win Overton now joins Chris Ferguson (Show-Me 100), Jonathan Davenport (Historic 100), Chris Madden (Mountain Moonshine Classic), Tim McCreadie (Firecracker 100), and Brandon Sheppard (Freedom 60) as crown-jewel cup winners in 2022. Madden, who started 12th had a run-on Overton until the Stop Tech caution flew with three to go, did not regret his decision. "No, not at all we had the $75,000 won and we had a lapped car three laps down get into the right front of my car, without that we are celebrating in victory lane. We had the best car, and we came from 12th and put on a heck of show for these fans. Thanks to all of the fans for coming out and supporting us and thanks for putting up the extra money and giving us a shot at it. We came up one spot short. Congratulations to Brandon on the win." Madden took home $20,000 for his runner-up finish. McCreadie, the reigning series champion still had a shot for the win at the end of the race but rounded out the podium in third. "I try my hardest, but at that point once Chris got by me, he did such a good job. Knowing where he started, I was trying as hard as I could I just kind of had a catbird's seat to see what those two were going to do at the end." McCreadie earned $10,000 for his third-place run. The winner's Wells Motorsports-owned Longhorn Chassis is powered by Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Allstar Concrete, Crossfit Overton, Garnto Southern, Penske Racing Shocks, Convenient Lube, R.W. Powell Construction, Big Dog Stump and Tree, Clean Way Clearing and Grading, VP Fuels, Dirt Mafia, EZ-GO, and Angry Elephant Tattoos and Piercings. Completing the top ten were Tyler Erb, Ricky Thornton Jr., Daulton Wilson, Jonathan Davenport, and Brent Larson.
