- PERRIS YOUNG GUNS CHAMPION GUERRERO MAKES A BIG STEP UP TO THE USAC/CRA SPRINT CARS
(Perris, CA, February 10, 2025) In 2013, Perris Auto Speedway promoter Don Kazarian introduced the PAS Young Guns Sprint Car Series. Invented for young drivers with no prior sprint car experience, the idea was to graduate racers into the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Series. Over the years, many drivers have taken the giant leap in class, including past Young Gun Champions and now CRA regulars Logan Williams, Eddie Tafoya Jr., and Stevie Rogers. This year, another Young Guns Champion, Brecken Guerrero, is making the leap to "Big Boy Sprint Car Racing." Guerrero, a high school student who lives in Westminster, California, has been around sprint cars for most of his life. However, last year he jumped into the cockpit for the first time. At the conclusion of the season, he was crowned 2024 Young Guns champion. When Perris Auto Speedway opens its 29th season this Saturday night, Guerrero will receive a championship trophy and a champion's custom jacket. They will go along nicely with the brand-new GAS Sprint Car chassis he collected from the 2023 series sponsor. On Tuesday evening, the well-spoken teen gave a pleasant interview about his upbringing around sprint cars, his championship season, expectations for this year and the future, and his life off the track. PAS: The first obvious question is, how old are you? Guerrero: I am only 17 years old, and last year when I was racing, I was 16. I am a Junior at Marina High School down in Huntington Beach. PAS: How did you get involved in the sprint car racing world? Guerrero: Verne (veteran USAC/CRA racer Verne Sweeney) is technically my stepdad. He is my dad, and he has been around since I was three. Racing has been the love of my life ever since. I was sitting up in the grandstands and then going down to the pits. Now I am racing. We had been wanting me to go down to the pits because it would be cool to experience. We saw one of Gansen's (USAC/CRA driver Chris Gansen) kids in the pits. We talked to the owners of Perris and they said I was allowed to go down there. PAS: How old were you when you first went down there? Guerrero: Oh, shoot, I don't remember. Still in the single digits probably. I was down there spectating and cleaning it (the car). Rubbing off some mud. PAS: As a little kid, did you dream that one day you would be on the track racing? Guerrero: When I was a little kid, I seen my dad race and heard all of these great stories. I always wanted to do it. Now that I am starting to race, it is actually unbelievable. It really is. PAS: Did you race anything before last season? Guerrero: Last year was my first year racing anything. I had no micro experience. Nothing. PAS: How nerve-racking was it the first time you got in the sprint car? It is not like wheeling a used Volkswagen down the street. Guerrero: No, not at all. At first, it is a little intimidating but you kind of learn to calm down your nerves. You learn the car and it gets easier. PAS: How were your mom and Verne's nerves when you first went out? Guerrero: Oh my gosh! My mom was a nervous wreck I have to assume. Verne played it off cool and collected, but there was definitely a nervous pit crew that night. PAS: Your mom is technically your car owner, right? Guerrero: Mom is technically the car owner, yes. PAS: So, did she have any advice, like if you do not bring it back in one piece, you will not get to race it again? Guerrero: It is really mine and Verne's, but if I flipped it again, she probably would not let me drive one. So, I try to keep all four wheels on the ground. PAS: You said, "If I flipped it again." I remember you flipping, and it was rather hard. How did that happen? Guerrero: It was my second night out. It was a rookie mistake. I tried to pass a guy after the checkered flag around the top. I found out how that ends. That was from a heat race when I was in the back. You learn from it, and you move on. It is all a big learning experience. PAS: In Verne, you have a guy helping you whose family ties in racing go back over a half-century. His uncle Max Sweeney, cousins Mike Sweeney and Steve Ostling all raced, and cousin Patty married Jac Haudenschild. That has to be a tremendous help when a guy with a racing heritage like that is helping you. Guerrero: It is awesome. He basically has all of the answers. Working on the cars, he knows everything about them. When we are not working on them, just hearing the stories of Ascot and Manzanita. He is just a cool guy to be around. I have soaked so much of it in. PAS: Do you have any racing heroes besides Verne? Guerrero: Oh my gosh! I cannot even name them all! I love the old guys. Leland McSpadden, Ron Shuman, Haudenschild, and all those guys. New young heroes are Sheldon Haudenschild, Donny Schatz, Carson Macedo, David Gravel, Brady Bacon, Justin Grant. The list goes on and on. PAS: You just named some guys who retired before you were born. It sounds like you have a great sense of sprint car racing history. Guerrero: Oh yeah. With Verne, you get the full history. When I went to the Knoxville Nationals to watch this last year, I actually got to meet Ron Shuman there. That was pretty cool. PAS: I did not know you went there. Who did you go there with? Guerrero: I went with my mom. We just went to watch. Verne had to stay back here and work. So, it was just us two. PAS: A second ago you just mentioned a bunch of winged guys among your favorites. Would you someday like to race winged cars with the World of Outlaws or High Limit? Guerrero: Yeah, it would be pretty cool. Whatever chance or opportunity I get that comes my way. Hopefully, it's a good one that I could take, and it will help me down the line and make it my career. Outlaws or National (USAC) Sprint Cars. Either would be pretty cool. PAS: So, you never raced anything before and you come out and win a championship. What were your keys to victory? Guerrero: Just showing up and being consistent. In the first couple races, I just showed up and ran laps. As it got towards the end of the season, I ran a little harder and was passing people. I was finishing better, getting more laps, and being more comfortable, really. PAS: You are starting all over again on Saturday racing with the big boys. 410 Sprint Car Racing is "Big Boy Sprint Car Racing." Any trepidation or nervousness coming into it, or are you relaxed? Guerrero: I kind of understand the feel for the car now. Getting to race with a lot more people on the track that go a lot faster with a lot more experience. It is definitely a little bit more nerves. I just try to keep them under control and run my own race and do the best I can. PAS: How long do you think it will take you to get up to speed with those drivers and do you have any goals? Guerrero: Hopefully, it will not take too long. My goal is, by midseason to be able to finish comfortably in like, 13th or 14th in midfield. PAS: Thus far, we have just talked about racing. But that is not the only thing in your life. I have heard you are in the Boy Scouts and you play ice hockey. Guerrero: I am one rank away from becoming an Eagle Scout. That is pretty exciting. I started in the Cub Scouts when I think I was about five-years-old. I just kept with it all the way through Boy Scouts and now I am almost an Eagle. Going on campouts and meeting new people is really awesome. PAS: Now let's talk about my favorite sport. I hear you are a pretty fair hockey player. Guerrero: I have been playing ice hockey for eight years. I think after this season is done, I am going to be done with hockey so I can focus more on racing. Hockey is great. It gets you athletic and you meet a lot of people. It is just so fun. I play in the high school league organized by the Anaheim Ducks (NHL). A whole bunch of high schools come together to make different teams. We play in Westminster, Lakewood, Anaheim, Irvine. PAS: That is a really good league you are playing hockey in. How hard will it be for you to give it up? Guerrero: It is really fun. It will take some time to get used to having a wider schedule. I love hockey. When I get older I will probably play in an adult league just to stay with. PAS: Man you are busy! Anything else? Guerrero: Yes, I almost have a black belt in karate. I have been doing that for nine years.

- Davenport Outduels Overton at Ocala
OCALA, FL (February 6, 2025) - Jonathan Davenport secured his second consecutive Wieland Winter Nationals feature on Thursday night at Ocala Speedway, as the three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion fended off Brandon Overton to capture the $10,000 victory. The final results will show that Davenport led all 40 laps, but Overton caught up to Davenport as they approached the white flag. However, he could never pass him to steal the win from his fellow Georgian, who triumphed by 0.538 seconds at the finish line. Kyle Bronson achieved his best series finish of the year, taking third, followed by Brandon Sheppard and Devin Moran, who rounded out the top five drivers. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 85th time in his career, Davenport also was victorious at Ocala for the fifth time in his career, the most all-time for any late model driver during Speedweeks at the egg-shaped track. "He (Overton) made me more worried than I should have been. I didn't know he was coming like that at the very end. It was kind of slimy around the bottom, so he just kept chasing it down and blowing it out. That was why I didn't think we could move, and since I was in the front, I couldn't tell what everyone else was doing. Once I got to the lapped cars, I didn't think I could pass any on the outside. I think they finally rolled in a little of that slime through one and two. It was a little better through the middle, but it was kind of bumpy. As long as your car wouldn't bounce too badly, I guess that was why he got that good run. Other than that, I was just blocking." Overton, in his return to the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series in 2025, was the third different driver to run second during the 40-lap race, joining Sheppard and Bronson in that category. "I I felt like I was doing everything I could. I almost made a move on him there, but I just got my right rear quarter-panel in the wall and couldn't get low enough to take the lead. It was an awesome race. If the fans didn't enjoy that, they might as well stop coming. The wins are on the way. I feel like I have the best crew in the business. I just want to win one; I mean, we're really close to winning one." Bronson, looking for his first series win since taking the Silver Dollar Nationals in 2021, regained the third position on lap 33 to round out the Big River Steel Podium. "It definitely feels good to get a good finish. I have been down on myself a little bit. We've got everything we need to win; we just need to put the right pieces in the right places and go after it." The winner's Double L Motorsports Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, Dyna-Gro Seed, ASC Warranty, Mark Martin Automotive, and Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas. Completing the top ten were Spencer Hughes, Ross Robinson, Tyler Bruening, Tanner English, and Dillon McCowan.

- Moran takes Wieland Winter Nationals Opener at Ocala
OCALA, FL (February 4, 2025) - Devin Moran continued his winning ways with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing, capturing the 30-lap $7,000 Wieland Winter Nationals main event on Tuesday night at Ocala Speedway. Moran took the lead on lap 24 from Brandon Overton, who had led the first 23 laps, as the Dresden, Ohio driver secured his 17th career series victory. Overton, who fell back to third on a restart with five laps remaining, managed to get around Jonathan Davenport with two laps left. He then closed in on Moran at the end, finishing just .0264 seconds behind. Davenport secured the final spot on the Big River Steel Podium in third. The rest of the top five consisted of Carson Ferguson and Hudson O'Neal. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the second time in his career at Ocala and the second consecutive time this season, Moran recalls his early-week successes in previous years at Easy Bay. "Just like for the Winternationals at East Bay, I felt I was really good the first night, so bringing that over to Bubba's place is awesome, and taking his money is great too. As I mentioned earlier tonight, I thought the track would be pretty good, and it did seem good. Turns out, one and two finally started to come in once it slowed down. He (Overton) finally caught lapped traffic, which threw him off a bit. I've watched a lot of film and seen how to take different lines here to gain speed. I tried them all and finally found one that worked. It was really cool to get the first win of the week here. I wish it was a points night, but that's alright. We'll take the money and get ready for the rest of the week." Overton, who started on the Victory Fuel Pole, led unchallenged for the first 20 laps of the race until traffic started to play a part as a long stretch of green flag racing allowed Moran and Davenport to make it a three-way battle for the top spot. "I I was just trying to outsmart them on that restart. I figured he (Moran) would go to the bottom in turns one and two, but he went to the top on that restart, which really threw me off. I just wheelied and pushed and got back behind JD, and I was able to enter a little lower than everyone else in three. We had a good enough car to win. I just got too close to the lapped car and spun the tires leaving turn two. It was just one of those nights when running second felt better than being out front. So, we'll take it; we are making gains every day." Davenport created an exciting three-car battle before the caution flag waved with 25 laps completed. He briefly took second place when Overton slipped up the track on the restart, but Overton managed to pass him again on the final lap. "I I thought I had passed Overton before the caution, but they said I wasn't ahead of him that lap. We had a great race there. They got a bit held up in lapped traffic and I caught up to them. I found the top down on that end and we were just a little better. We tried something new tonight, but I don't think it worked as well. We know what we need to do to improve for tomorrow and the rest of the week. It's sunny in Florida, and it's 80 degrees; we're all having a good time down here."

- Thornton Grabs Last Lap Victory at All-Tech
LAKE CITY, FL (January 30, 2025) - Ricky Thornton Jr., the defending Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion, seized the opportunity created by race leader Devin Moran's flat tire on the final lap to triumph in the 40-lap Wieland Winternationals opener on Thursday night at All-Tech Raceway. Moran, who led a race-high 34 laps, had a tire going down in the final two laps, which allowed Thornton to pass him on lap 39 as he went on to secure his first win of the season. Max Blair edged past Daulton Wilson on the final lap, as they rounded out the Big River Steel podium, taking second and third place at the finish. Moran limped across the line in fourth, with Tyler Erb completing the top five drivers. Moran jumped to the lead at the start of the race and maintained it for the first 12 laps until Shane Clanton passed him on lap 13. Clanton would then lead Moran for four more laps until Moran surged back ahead for the lead on lap 18. Clanton remained solid in second until a flat tire on lap 29 ended his chances for the win. A lap 30 restart saw Thornton charge from fourth to second as he pressured Moran for the race lead. However, Thornton slipped back when he got too high in turn two on lap 33 and hit the wall. He recovered, and Moran's flat tire opened the door for Thornton, who entered the All-Tech race as the only driver to have won more than once in the last seven Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing appearances at the track, allowing him to go to the winner's circle for the third time there. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 43rd time in his career, and for the third time at All-Tech, Thornton claimed victory for the first time in 2025. "I I had a good run on that last restart. I got under Daulton for second as we entered turn three; we bumped a little, but nothing too serious. Then I got to Devin, as I mentioned, and I knew his crew guy would move him up. I actually didn't even see him [Moran] well enough to notice that he had a right-rear flat. We got to the top of turn three, and he was three-wheeling it. As we approached the white flag, I thought it really stinks for him, but I guess someone's misfortune was good for us and we'll take it it." Blair, who started 10th, surged to the front in the final circuits, claiming the runner-up spot. "I want to be up there where he [Thornton] is. We have been good since the end of last year. The track fit our driving style tonight. We'll come back tomorrow and try to finish one spot better." Wilson, who led the most laps at Golden Isles two weeks ago, stayed in the top four for most of the race and came home in third. "We were good at Golden Isles and not so good last weekend. I thought I had a real shot at winning tonight."

- Logan Seavey Charges To Hard Rock Qualifying Night Victory
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (January 17, 2025) Making the late race pass for the lead, then having to fend off the ferocious pursuit of Gavin Miller through the closing laps, Logan Seavey delivered for his fourth career Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink preliminary night victory during Hard Rock Hotel Casino Tulsa Qualifying Night. "I could still keep up with guys; I just lost a little balance really to be able to maneuver as good as I needed to in traffic, but when I could get against the cushion by myself, I could make a ton of speed, but in the feature, I could finally crawl the bottom, so we're going in the right direction. I still feel like I made a lot of ugly laps there, but fortunately, I happen to make them at the right times and made good laps when I needed them," explained Seavey of the race. Rolling from seventh at the start, Seavey was on the podium in eight laps. Chasing Ryan Timms and Gavin Miller, the fight for the lead got hot on Lap 18 as Gavin Miller tried to shoot under Timms into the third turn. Across the nose of the No. 97, Miller would make contact with Timms. Who spun to a stop. On the contact, Miller said, "Trying to cross back on Logan, Ryan went to the bottom, and I didn't think he was going slow up that much. I locked up the brakes, but was already too far, and hooked his bumper, and I apologized to him." Getting momentum, Seavey leaned into the cushion and began closing on Miller. Around to Lap 26, a misstep on the cushion by Miller put Seavey in the hunt, with a move for the lead coming the next time around. Glued to the back bumper of the No. 39 through the final four laps, Seavey slid himself through both ends of the Tulsa Expo Raceway to fend Miller by 0.221-seconds. Seavey into his seventh Chili Bowl A-Feature, Miller's runner-up finish locks him into his first. Tyler Courtney ran 12th to third, with Daryn Pittman and Daryn Pittman completing the top five. Five preliminary nights yielded 392 entries officially received after cancelations, with 377 drawing in for competition. Each night saw a different car owner in victory lane. The last time was 2023, during Logan's first Chili Bowl victory, with the first two nights seeing new car owners in victory lane, followed by KKM, Thorson, and Swindell. That same pattern has played out in 2025, with Silva and Wood each earning their first wins as car owners on Monday and Tuesday. Saturday, January 18, opens at 8:00 A.M. with cars on track at 9:00 A.M. (CT). The features are slated to start with the double P-Mains. The 39th annual Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink takes place January 13-18, 2025, under the giant roof of the SageNet Center in Tulsa, Okla. Fans unable to attend the Chili Bowl Nationals can watch every lap live at http://www.floracing.com. General Admission tickets are sold at the event and include access to the Pits.

- Tanner Thorson Cooks Up A Thriller On Hasty Bake Qualifying Night
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (January 16, 2025) Another fight to the finish during the 39th annual Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink, Thursday's Hasty Bake Qualifying Night A-Feature came down to the final lap with Tanner Thorson holding off Ryan Bernal and Christopher Bell for the win. On the final restart, Thorson said, "That yellow came out, and I'm like [Christopher] Bell is the last person I want behind me on a restart, so I'm looking for my guys to tell me kind of where to go, and I didn't know, and I about gave it away when I thought Bell as to my inside, and it's [Ryan] Bernal, and I'm like holy crap, we're about to get our doors blown off, so it was tricky." Thorson's third career preliminary night victory in 12 starts since 2014, the fight for the win began with Karter Sarff, who drove around Thorson to lead the third and fourth laps. Tight into the cushion on a Lap 5 restart, that allowed Thorson to retake the point. Battling next with Christopher Bell, the pair set sights on the leader, with Bell able to roll to the point on Lap 10. Caution with nine to go, Bell and Thorson began trading top and bottom at opposite ends of the Tulsa Expo Raceway, with Thorson settling in the cushion to rocket back to the lead on Lap 25 before the caution waved. Caution at the white flag, the stage was set for a green, white, checkered showdown with the battle going three deep as Ryan Bernal, who was nearly collected in the crash that caused the final restart, sticking the bottom to take the race three wide through the final lap. Burying the right rear into the cushion, Thorson held off the challenge, with Bernal nipping the final transfer into Saturday's A-Feature at the line by 0.068-seconds. Matt Westfall moved eight to fourth with Jacob Denney rolling 11th to fifth. Thursday's Hasty Bake Qualifying Night had 79 drivers on hand, bringing the running competing entry total to 292 with another 86 slated for Friday night. The Flip Count worked its way to 39 with all drivers okay.

- Emerson Axsom Strikes During Wednesday's York Plumbing Qualifying Night
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (January 15, 2025) The second first-time winner in as many nights at the 39th annual Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink, Indiana's Emerson Axsom grabbed the lead on Lap 4 and never gave it back en-route to victory during Wednesday's York Plumbing Qualifying Night. The 55th driver to win a Chili Bowl preliminary A-Feature, Axsom, in his fifth preliminary A-Feature start, was asked how it felt to win, "I've been trying a long time and took myself out of a lot of races here, but I knew our stuff was good enough if I just did my job." Landing car owner Keith Kunz his 37th career victory inside the SageNet Center during Chili Bowl competition, two attempts at the start saw Axsom chasing from the right of the front row as polesitter Daison Pursley paced the field. The CB Industries No. 86 around the bottom, the KKM/Curb-Agajanian No. 68k around the top, Axsom shot off the cushion, exiting the second turn to take the lead. "Thankfully, it was a double-file restart because I fell back," quipped Axsom of the initial start. "It worked out that we were able to run the top in for a couple of laps and then get the restart where I could get a shot because I knew Daison [Pursley] was going to be good on the bottom. Their stuff has a lot of grip anywhere he goes so I worked on momentum to where when he did jump up, I could counter his move and throw a slider." Keeping pace through restarts with varying lines to fend off Pursley, the closing laps saw Daison mount a change, but not enough to get there as Axsom crossed with 0.343-seconds to spare. Daison Pursley in second was followed by eighth starting Corey Day. Fourth was Tim Buckwalter with Kale Drake moving ninth to fifth. Wednesday's York Plumbing Qualifying Night saw a field of 73 drivers on hand, bringing the running competing entry total to 213. The Flip Count worked its way to 32 with all drivers okay. Racing resumes Thursday, January 16, 2025, with Hasty-Bake Qualifying Night getting underway with Hot Laps at 4:00 P.M. followed by racing at 5:00 P.M. (CT).

- Landon Brooks Breaks Through During Tuesday's Warren CAT Qualifying Night
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (January 14, 2025) Becoming the 54th driver to win a preliminary night A-Feature in Chili Bowl National powered by NOS Energy Drink, California's Landon Brooks not only captured his first win atop Tulsa Expo Raceway clay, but also landed Matt Wood Racing his first win as a car owner inside the SageNet Center. Bringing cars to the Chili Bowl for over 12 years, Brooks' win makes him the second driver with Matt Wood Racing to secure a spot into Saturday's A-Feature with Wood's other lock-in driver, Shane Golobic, on the wrenches for the No. 57w. "Honestly, this feels unbelievable. I haven't even taken it all in yet. When I passed the checkered flag, I couldn't believe it," replied Brooks when asked what the win meant to him. Seventh at the start, Brook jumped to fourth early before slipping back through the mid-point of the feature before adjusting his line. On the start of the race and the changes he made to move back forward, Brooks said, "I fell back from seventh at the start and started rolling the bottom to get back to fifth, then they all kind of crept to the bottom, and I was able to rip the top to second, and luckily, I was able to reel in Brenham [Crouch] and throw a few sliders on him and pull it off, but just incredible. This whole Matt Wood Racing team, they do a great job." Getting to Crouch, who had led since the start, the first hold on the lead came on Lap 28. Returning the favor a lap later, Crouch set the pace past the white flag, with the No. 57w striking again through the first and second turns. Keeping pace through the final set of turns, Brooks made it to the line with 0.504-seconds to spare. Brenham Crouch held on for second, with Buddy Kofoid mounting a massive comeback after an incident in his TRD Qualifier landed him in the second Ferguson Supply B-Feature. Winning the consolation event, Kofoid wheeled the Mobil 1 No. 71 from 18th to the final podium step. Corbin Rueschenberg crossed fourth with Gunnar Setser, who challenged for the lead numerous times through the first 20 laps, ended up in fifth. Tuesday's Warren CAT Qualifying Night saw a field of 74 drivers on hand, bringing the running competing entry total to 140. The Flip Count worked its way to 24 with all drivers okay. Racing resumes Wednesday, January 15, 2025, with York Plumbing Qualifying Night getting underway with Hot Laps at 4:00 P.M. followed by racing at 5:00 P.M. (CT).

- Qualifying Nights Released For 39th Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla (January 5, 2025) Five nights of racing, with every position counting towards Saturday, makes the Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink statistically among the most challenging events to prevail in, much less make the show, and the first draft of nights for the 39th running of the worlds greatest Midget event have been released. Subject to change by the day, the current list of entrants sits at 371, which ties it with 2023's final entry count, and is just nine shy so far of 2024. Drivers from 35 states, five countries, plus five event champions are set to take on Tulsa Expo Raceway clay from January 13-18, with two Chili Bowl Champions already picking up Golden Drillers this past week during the 40th annual Smiley's Racing Products Tulsa Shootout. Grabbing two wins in Outlaw and A-Class competition, Kyle Larson went full send on a third against Christopher Bell during the night's 55-lap Outlaw Non-Wing championship event with every angle of attack imaginable, with the race coming down to a photo finish with Bell prevailing. Setting the standards and expectations at the highest level for next week's Chili Bowl Nationals, last week's Shootout is not the first time the two NASCAR veterans have battled for a Golden Driller, as Bell denied Larson his first Chili Bowl triumph with a last lap pass in 2019.

- 40th annual Smiley's Racing Products Tulsa Shootout Shatters Entry Record
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (December 31, 2024) Only hours away from going green with the first rounds of FuelTech Heat Races at the 40th annual Smiley's Racing Products Tulsa Shootout powered by NOS Energy Drink, the entries have been counted, and a new record has been established. Shattering the 2024 mark of 1,752 entries received with 1,698 confirmed, the 2025 event had 1,855 entries turned in, with 1,798 of those drawing in for competition. Making up those entries are 762 drivers from 438 cities and five countries (USA, Aust., Neth. S. Africa, UK) driving a total of 1,015 cars. Working through 151 rounds of practice that began Tuesday at 8:00 A.M. (CT), the first 28 races of the week will belong to the WFO Winged Outlaw Micros. 389 races, consisting of 3,734 green flag laps, will be contested through January 4. "When we restructured the Shootout in 2011, we went from having 23 classes and over 1,000 entries to eight divisions, and I think we may have had close to 700 entries that first year, so you can imagine I was nervous if this thing was going to take, and thankfully it did, and has become bigger than I ever imagined," stated event founder, Emmett Hahn. "Sitting here now closing in on 2,000 entries is something I never dreamed of, especially since we changed the classes a few years ago to just Micros and brought it down to six divisions." Asked about how international the event has become, Hahn replied, "You know, that kind of like the car count. I never imagined we'd have drivers from the United Kingdom, South Africa, or the Netherlands racing the Tulsa Shootout. It just shows how big Micro racing has become around the world." A major shot to the Tulsa economy during an otherwise down time of the year, the 40th annual Smiley's Racing Products Tulsa Shootout powered by NOS Energy Drink is estimated to bring over $10M into the local economy over the next week. This ahead of the Chili Bowl Nationals, which takes place January 13-18,, and is set to bring an estimated $40M in additional revenue for area businesses. With drivers aged six to nearly 80 years old, the Tulsa Shootout covers generations of talent with one of the most diverse fields in racing. Current stars like Kyle Larson, Christopher Bell, and Kyle Busch are in action, and while Busch and Larson bring NASCAR credentials to the mix, they will be joined by their sons, Brexton Bush and Owen Larson. With many eyes on the NASCAR stars, local champions like Blake Hahn, who has won the event nine times, and Frank Flud, a four-time Golden Driller recipient, should never be counted out. Racing on Tuesday, December 31, is set to get underway around 7:00 P.M. (CT). Racing January 1 through January 4 goes green at 9:00 A.M. (CT) daily. Saturday's opening ceremony is TBD based on the run of the show but will be before Last Chance Qualifiers and A-Features. Tickets per weekday are $15 and $20 on Saturday for the grandstands. All access passes are $30 per weekday and $40 on Saturday, and they give access to the pits.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Champions Spotlight: Morton's personal racing heroes offer double support, inspiration
WHEATLAND, MO. (Dec. 23, 2024) - Whether JC Morton is representing one of his racing idols while driving his USRA B-Mod or chasing checkers behind the wheel of a Late Model, the Springfield driver is looking forward to another season of double duty at Lucas Oil Speedway. Morton earned his third Lucas Oil Speedway track championship in the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods in 2024 while driving a Terry Phillips Bloodline chassis. With two feature victories and seven top-fives in 11 events, Morton cruised to the title by 145 points over Logan Smith. "We teamed up with Terry Phillips a season and a half ago and to turn around in my first full season with him, to win a championship, it's good," Morton said. "We've been close several times and lost by a couple of points here, by five points there, in the last 2-3 seasons. To be able to come out on top and to be in the Bloodline house car, that's huge." The 34-year-old Morton also was a contender in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model portion of the Weekly Racing Series as he wound up third in points behind Aurora's Justin Wells, another iconic Ozarks-area racing veteran. "I've watched Justin race since I was a kid," Morton said of Wells. "To be in a position I'm in, to be able to race with him, is a pretty cool deal. It puts it into a pretty full-circle perspective." Morton knows it won't be easy, but he has a goal of chasing two championships next season, in his Bloodline B-Mod and the Rocket-chassis Late Model owned by brothers Larry and Dale Moon from Sedalia. A hint of what could happen came in 2023 when Morton won features in the B-Mod and Late Model divisions on the same night. He wound up second in the B-Mod points and sixth in Late Models that season. The 2024 season wasn't quite as good in the Late Model. "We had plenty of top-five finishes in the Late Model, just didn't get any wins," Morton said of the past season. "I missed the first point night for the Late Models, as they started a week early. That's a 100-point swing when you miss a night, so it put me behind the 8-ball a little bit. "Larry, the car owner, is pouring everything he can into it to make it better. We made a bunch of moves in the off-season to improve. We should come out strong. He's constantly on the phone with Rocket and trying to fine-tune to get it better." Finding a way to derail Wells, who won 11 features last season in running away with a second straight track championship, is the tricky part. But Wells has indicated he might not run for another points title, which could open things up. Having Phillips, a Dirt Late Model Hall of Famer in his corner, is a great benefit for Morton. While Phillips no longer competes in the Late Model division, Morton said he's a tremendous resource if he has questions, no matter the car. "He's got a vast knowledge there," Morton said. "He's not in the technology side of it like he used to be, because he's not racing them anymore, but he's still able to make a phone call or a text and is able to find out what's happening. It helps. "I try not to push him a whole lot on that because he's not 100 percent involved on my Late Model world, but he still has so much knowledge. Like I think it was the USMTS race at Lucas last season, he made some suggestions (about the Late Model) and it was a lot better for us the second night." No matter what happens in the Late Model, Morton is a proven champion in the B-Mod and figures to only get better the more experience he gets in the Bloodline chassis with Phillips in his corner. "He's been around it so long and he's so good, it's hard not to take what he says and try it," Morton said of Phillips. "He's had so much success and has been an idol for me since I was a kid." Morton said he looks forward to winning as many races as he can in 2025 after scoring 10 feature victories overall last season. "The more races we're winning, the more cars we're gonna sell," Morton said of the B-Mod. "Then I'd like to capitalize on the Late Model deal, hit all the points shows and hopefully we can knock off a championship there. "It would be even cooler to have two championships. We'll just have to see how the season goes. We'd like to knock out two championships, but will just show up week in and week out and see how many races we can win." Things can get hectic while competing in two divisions. Morton gave his long-time B-Mod crew of dad Gene, Danny Fender and Rich Cooper a lot of credit. "They know what to do and I can bounce back and forth pretty easy," Morton said. "The Late Model crew, I have the two brothers and another brother, Gary, and one of their sons will help once in a while. But yeah, every once in a while it will get hectic, if we tear one up and we're rushing around, but for the most part, it's not too bad. "When it gets hot, it's a little more demanding - especially when we're racing back-to-back. I try to stay hydrated." Morton, who turns 35 in January, laughed while saying he still considers himself youthful. He credits daughters Zoey (12), Emmy (4) and son Huddy (four months) with keeping him on his toes and wife Destiny for keeping everyone pointed in the right direction. "I'm getting a little older and it does catch up with you at the end of the night," he said. "My girls keep me young. As long as I can keep up with them, I'll be OK." Sponsors on Morton's cars include Bloodline Race Cars, Yeoman Race Cars, Big Time Bail Bonds, R & R Graphics, Wehr's Machine, Integra, CPD Race Shocks, Keyser Manufacturing, Quarter Master, Sedalia Electric Motors and TNT Quick Time. "Without all of them we wouldn't be able to get up and down the road and race as much as we do," Morton said.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Champions Spotlight: Better-than-ever Wells repeats Late Model track title
WHEATLAND, MO. (Dec. 12, 2024) - After successfully repeating his Lucas Oil Speedway track championship in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model division, Justin Wells said the formula to success hasn't changed with age. The 47-year-old Wells drove to 11 feature wins in once again running away with the championship in 2024, a year after posting 12 overall victories. Asked the key to his success, Wells said it's the same as when he was winning races 20 years ago. "It's hard work and effort combined, with a lot of good luck," Wells said this week. The member of the Ozarks Area Racers Foundation Hall of Fame, who won the first Late Model race at new Lucas Oil Speedway in 2006, said just like his runaway title in 2023 he didn't begin the season with a grand plan of chasing a championship. "Two years ago we won a race up there and said we weren't gonna race for points then blowed up our (open Late Model ) motor and all we had was our weekly motor," Wells said. "It worked out and we enjoyed it. "This year I told everybody 'I'm not racing for points.' Well, some of my sponsors bought some suites up there and some other sponsors had some spots on the lake. The next thing you know, we go and win the first race and we're hooked for the rest of the year." Wells joked that he's "tried quitting - well, not quitting, but slowing down - a few times" over the years but keeps coming back to the driver's seat. He was one of the creators of the Cash Money Dirt Late Model series a few years ago, but gave that up after a couple of years as it cut into his racing time. "We got to promoting races for a couple of years and my racing suffered," Wells said. "Every time I went to the track, we didn't run good. We're back to full focus and putting all our efforts and time in it and everything we've done has been good and it's been fun to run good and be competitive." Wells showed the past season that he can still run up front with the open Late Model guys on the rare instances he takes his shot with finishes of third and fourth at the MLRA Fall Nationals over Labor Day Weekend at Wheatland. He said he could have made a run at a win had a timely caution come out late in his third-place run. "I don't know how many we could win in the super Late Model stuff, but I think we've got a shot at it," Wells said. Wells said he and his son, Cole, are looking to compete in as many open Late Model shows as they can within a reasonable travel distance in 2025. He's not making any firm plans to gun for a Lucas Oil Speedway Weekly Racing Series three-peat, but there's always that chance. If he does run weekly again, Wells has one big advantage. That's the car he calls "Old Faithful, a 2006 TNT chassis that he's driven to 116 feature wins. It's almost unheard of for a car nearly 20 years old to still be active, let alone finding victory lanes. "She's a good one," Wells said. "That's the same car I was winning MARS races in back in 2009, 2010. Cars have a life span that is usually 2-3 years to get a lot of good out of them and maybe a couple of years after that. This car, it doesn't matter what motor combination you put in there, it just responds to changes. I have no answer. "It's never gonna be for sale. When we quit racing, we'll probably plant flowers in it."

- Lucas Oil Speedway Champions Spotlight: Garner savors Stock Cars title and Most Popular Driver award
WHEATLAND, MO. (Dec. 9, 2024) - One year ago, William Garner talked about the lessons learned and the fine line between winning a Lucas Oil Speedway track championship and finishing tantalizingly close to the big award. "We had some heart-breakers where I know we could have won the show and let a couple get away from us," Garner said last off-season. Motivation was Garner's rallying cry entering the 2024 season in the O'Reilly Auto USRA Stock Cars division. And it paid off nicely as the 24-year-old from Lebanon finished off his championship charge with four feature wins and nine top-five finishes to edge Jaylen Wettengel by 30 points. "It means a lot for me and my whole team," Garner said of his first Lucas Oil Speedway track title. "Everybody dreams about getting a championship at Lucas. It's just a big achievement for my whole team and I'm grateful that we had the opportunity to run for the championship and come home with it." Garner said the extra motivation, combined with the continued improvement of his Franklin Motorsports team, was enough to get him over the hump. "Going into it, I knew that each year my team just keeps getting better and better," Garner said. "I knew going into it we had a pretty good chance if we could stay up front and not have DNFs, I knew we had a pretty good chance about running for it." Finishing races and avoiding disastrous nights came down to spending extra time in the shop, going over the car each week with the proverbial fine-tooth comb. It was about making sure all the parts were sound and the tires were good. And behind the wheel, Garner was up to the challenge as well as he went 11-for-11 in finishing the top 10. The highlight was obvious, the night in mid-July when he won two features on the same night as the Stock Cars ran a make-up feature to start the evening. Using a late pass to get around defending track champion Mason Beck in the first feature, Garner rallied from a seventh-starting spot to also claim the second one. "That's definitely one to remember," Garner said. "That's one of the biggest things in my career because each and every one of these Stock Car guys, there are so many good drivers. That night I was able to get that first win there and get back around Mason in that one. "The second one I started back (in seventh) and when I got to third, I was like, 'I have a good chance of getting this one, too.' I just thought I was going to ride there, then I got to second and passed for the lead, I started getting pretty excited. I just kept myself calm where we could pick that one up too." Winning the championship wasn't the only highlight of Garner's season. At the recent Lucas Oil Speedway Championship Awards banquet, he received the prestigious Most Popular Driver trophy. Making that award more special is that it's a fan-voted honor. "The year before, Mitchell Franklin won it and I was glad to be able to keep that in the Franklin Motorsports shop," Garner said. "An award like that means so much. It shows you how many people are paying attention to every driver and what they do and how you present yourself to everybody. It means a lot to get voted for most popular driver." Asked what he does to connect with fans, Garner said he just enjoy being himself and treating everyone who stops by his pit location with respect - especially youngsters. "When people come by, I just try to talk to everybody and if there are any kids that come by, I try to give them some stuff like hero cards," Garner said. "I let 'em look the car all over and talk to them about anything. I pretty well just talk to them like they're my friend." Garner said the focus now turns to 2025 with the goal of winning another championship. "I'm gonna try to go back-to-back. It's hard, but it can be done," he said. "I got to thank the whole Lucas Oil team, all the workers. I have to thank (General Manager) Danny Lorton for giving us Stock Car drivers a place to race every week. If it wasn't for him we wouldn't have that class around here. I'm just glad he's sticking it out with us." Along with Josh and Mitchell Franklin and Garner's girlfriend, Garyn Young, he gave a shout out to his large roster of sponsors: Icon Graphics, Franklin Motorsports, Eagle Machine, Mitchell Capital Management, Court Probationary Services, Leerose Puppies, E-co Equipment & Solutions, Bar T Cattle, G&M Transport, Johnny Fennewald Roofing & Seamless Gutters, Midwest Sheet Metal, Richardson's Carpet, Devlin-Nichols Tax & Accounting, Hogan Land Title, Arrowhead Building Supply and Garner Construction. "We can't do what we do without everyone helping out," he said.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Champions Spotlight: Jason Pursley savors first title
WHEATLAND, MO. (Dec. 4, 2024) - Jason Pursley was the epitome of determination and perseverance in chasing a goal that he eluded him for nearly a quarter-century-long racing career. But at long last, 2024 proved to be the magical season that the veteran Modified driver from Hermitage finally captured a Lucas Oil Speedway track championship after nine runner-up finishes. Pursley, 48, took home the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified track championship with consistency paving the way. The superintendent of the Skyline School District had five top-five finishes and three other top-10s on his way to a 78-point margin over Chad Lyle. After some time to reflect on the championship, Pursley said earlier this week that the warm feelings are carrying over into the wintertime. "It means a lot just for the simple fact to finally check it off the bucket list after all these years, after coming in second so many times," Pursley said. "It may not mean a lot to a lot of people, but I really wanted to check it off the list and finally win one there at Lucas. It takes a lot of dedication and perseverance type of deal to never give up. "It kind of gets the monkey off my back. I'm pretty happy about it." After so many second-place points finishes - some by narrow margins and others that were pretty lopsided - Pursley admitted that he wasn't sure that his time would ever come. But he never gave up, and that's half the battle. "I didn't know if it would ever happen," he said. "There were a few times I was a distant second, but there were a few times where I was pretty close. One time to Cutshaw (four-time champ Jeff Cutshaw) and another that was fairly close and it came down to the end. It just seems like somebody would get on a roll and they would have an awesome year, or we'd have trouble or whatever. "But this year it finally paid off. We had a decent year. We were very consistent with our speeds. Top two, three or four several times and I just finally came together for us and paid off." Pursley said he was as happy for long-time car owner Tom Campbell as for himself. The two have been partners in the sport for 14 years, an unusually long time between driver and owner. "I really wanted to get it for Tom. He spends a lot of money and a lot of time," Pursley said. "We've been together a long time as far as driver and owner - a lot longer than most. Racing has its highs, but it has its lows, and a lot of times drivers and owners don't make it as long as Tom and I have. "You get mad at each other and aggravated at each other. The owner blames the driver, the driver blames the car and then usually you go separate ways. We both get aggravated at times. We have moments. But we always look at the big picture and try to get better, is what we do. We have a good friendship outside of racing and I think that helps." The Lucas Oil Speedway championship "right up there" among Pursley's racing highlights. He lists two others - a 2005 season in which he won a combined 14 features at Springfield and Urbana to claim championships at both tracks and a USMTS race at Wheatland about a decade ago. He led 32 of 35 laps before finishing second to tour-regular Jason Krohn. Pursley already is looking forward to the 2025 season, where he will return to Lucas Oil Speedway as the reigning champ for the first time. Along with Campbell, he gave shout-outs to long-time sponsors Ozarks Community Health Care in Hermitage and Fugate Motors, along with son Dayton who moved into the USRA Modified division in 2024 and finished fourth in points. "Dayton helps me out, we help each other out," Jason Pursley said. "Racing with him this year was a lot of fun. Just getting the cars ready is so time consuming."

- Entry List Over 1,000 And Growing For The 40th Annual Smiley's Racing Products Tulsa Shootout
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (December 2, 2024) Rolling past the 1,000 mark for the 11th consecutive event, the 40th annual Smiley's Racing Products Tulsa Shootout powered by NOS Energy Drink is again on record watch ahead of the entry deadline. Made up of 614 drivers from 371 cities across 40 states and three countries (USA, NB, and NZ), the total number of entries received at the time of press is 1,428, which also marks the sixth time in as many events there have been more than 1,300 entries for the "Mecca of Micros". Surpassing the 300 mark, Joe's Racing Products Stock Non-Wing is leading at 339 entries. EVO Fuel Injection A-Class follows at 326, with Hyper Racing Non-Wing Outlaw at 304. WFO Winged Outlaw Micros sits at 199 entries, with K&B Racing Restricted A-Class at 162 and Flying A Motorsports Junior Sprints at 98. Cutting off at Midnight on December 13, 2024, anyone wanting to enter after that must do so during move-in on December 30, 2024. Entries can be submitted online 24/7 at https://www.myracepass.com/series/1531/registrations. The cost is $125 per entry. Entries can also be phoned into (918) 838-3777, or (918) 606-2592, Monday-Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (CT). Among the 641 drivers on the list, the names Busch and Larson jump out as Brexton Busch and Owen Larson chase Golden Drillers in Restricted A-Class and Junior Sprints. Brexton's fourth time at the Tulsa Shootout, his 2024 showing netted a 12th place finish in the Junior Sprint A-Feature and a 10th place in a Restricted A-Class B-Feature. The 2025 event will be the debut event for Owen Larson. Joined by their fathers, 2x NASCAR Champion Kyle Busch made his Tulsa Shootout debut in 2021 with an eighth-to-first Heat Race run in Outlaw Non-Wing. In action last year, Kyle's Tulsa Shootout culminated with a fifth-place finish in a Winged Outlaw B-Feature. Making his USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship debut in Bakersfield, Cali., Busch recently announced he will attempt his first Chili Bowl Nationals powered by NOS Energy Drink in January. A former Tulsa Shootout champion, 2021 NASCAR and 2x Chili Bowl Champion Kyle Larson earned a Silver Driller during the Shootout's 25th anniversary event in 2010. Winning Open Winged Outlaw Karts, that would be the division's final A-Feature before the Shootout switched to a Micro oriented lineup the following year. The 2010 show included 26 divisions with 1,090 competitors, including, at the time, a record 584 Micros, approximately 300 Karts,100 Quads, and 15 ECOtec/Focus Midgets. Of the entries received, 17 drivers have hoisted the Golden Driller. Blake Hahn leads that count after earning his ninth title in 2024 with his second career win in Non-Wing Outlaw. Frank Flud (5), Chris Cochran (2), Michael Faccinto (2), Lucas Mauldin (2), Brad Best, Gary Taylor, Jason Tyer, Kyle Larson, Kaylee Bryson, Jett Barnes, Kris Carroll, Jaxton Wiggs, Jett Nunley, Jeffrey Newell, and Mattix McBride make up the current list of past Tulsa Shootout champions. The full list of entries is listed at https://www.myracepass.com/events/523284/entries. A quick reminder to teams regarding car numbers. We do not allow reflective numbers. If your numbers are borderline or not readable, you will need to fix them. You will be given one warning during practice to fix your numbers. Numbers not fixed by race time will result in disqualification, and you will not be allowed to enter the racetrack. Non-Wing Classes must have a number on the nose of your car. The letter must be above the number and legible. Winged Classes must have numbers on both sideboards. All cars must have legible numbers on the tail tank. Car numbers are a max of three digits. That includes the use of a letter. For example, a car can be No. 100, or No. 10x. Not No. 100x. Remember, we have three people hand scoring because sometimes the transponder system does go down, they fall off the car, or just stop working. We need to be able to read all car numbers so you are not scored incorrectly and also to speed up time under caution. It also helps our infield crew to move cars around when a RACEceiver malfunctions. Contrast is important. Black on black with a hint of grey is not readable when a car is in motion, especially from a distance. Featured classes at the 40th running of the Smiley's Racing Products Tulsa Shootout include WFO Winged Outlaw Micros, Hyper Racing Non-Wing Outlaw, EVO Fuel Injection A-Class Winged, Joe's Racing Products Stock Non-Wing, K&B Racing Restricted A-Class, and Flying A Motorsports Junior Sprints. Information regarding specific daily running orders will be established after entries open. Online entry will be available as well as entry by phone at (918) 838-3777.
