- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Chisholm rolls into King of America XIV with big momentum
WHEATLAND, MO. (March 25, 2025) - Just a few days after earning a career-defining financial haul in the Dirt Modified world, Jim Chisholm knows it's time to turn the page and focus on the King of America XIV at Lucas Oil Speedway. The three-night United States Modified Touring Series show opens on Thursday with a $3,000-to-win feature and picks up momentum with a $5,000 prize to Friday's winner. Of course, all eyes will be on the $20,000-to-win prize in Saturday's grand finale. For the 22-year-old Chisholm, who broke through in 2024 to win the USMTS National Championship, confidence is running high. The Osage, Iowa, native took command with a couple of laps remaining to capture $100,000 at last Saturday's XR Dominator at Salina Highbanks Speedway in Pryor, Okla. "Monetary-wise, the biggest for sure," Chisholm said of where the win ranks on his career list. "Definitely one of the biggest races of my career going forward and might ever be. Just a really cool thing to have them put on shows like this and race for that kind of money. "The confidence is definitely there. It's a short turnaround, but we have short turnarounds a lot. You always come back to the shop and regroup. What happened last week is last week and you really can't take that into consideration this week. You just go at this next race like it's another big one and try your best to win it." Dan Ebert of Lake Shore, Minn., is reigning champion of the USMTS portion of the King of America with a win in 2023 as last year's event was rained out at Humboldt Speedway. There have been 11 different winners over the years as the best of Modified racing gather for the early season showdown. The event will include USRA Stock Cars paying $1,000-to-win Thursday, $2,000-to-win Friday and $3,000 to win Saturday. USRA B-Mods will be paying $1,000 to win Thursday, $2,000 to win Friday and $3,000 to win Saturday. For Chisholm, the move of the King of America to Lucas Oil Speedway for the first time seems particularly timely. The south-central Missouri oval is a place that Chisholm never cared for - until last summer when he swept USMTS features on back-to-back nights at Wheatland. The opener saw him prevail over veteran Terry Phillips in a back-and-forth duel over the last half of the race. That one was named Lucas Oil Speedway's 2024 Race of the Year. Chisholm said he doesn't have a good answer for why his fortunes suddenly took a positive turn at Wheatland, though a new dirt surface for the 2024 season could have played a factor. "It definitely drove like it was new dirt and reminded a lot of what we run at home," Chisholm said. "It's stuff you can't push your stuff that hard. If you push, you go slower. It kind of fits into my driving style. Just finding the limit of the car you can run it at and not overstepping that boundary. "It raced super good last year. We were luckily able to start up front some of those shows and have good runs. That's kind of the goal we're setting for ourselves this time as well. I'm super-excited to come back there." Chisholm returns as the defending USMTS champion after edging out Jake Timm for his first championship. The title meant a ton for a youngster who grew up watching the USMTS stars visit nearby Deer Creek Speedway in family outings to the track. "It was one of those deals you watch them do the four-wide salute and you're like 'one of these days I want to be able to do that.' To be able to go out and win a couple of shows and be a contender in the points was huge, but to win the championship I'm still pretty speechless about that," Chisholm said. "There are a bunch of guys that are super fast and really tough to beat week in and week out. It's always a lot of fun to run with a group of guys who run so well together. You kind of know what to expect from them. They run you really hard and you run them really hard. At the end of the day, you go over and talk to them and go on to the next win." Which is exactly what he will try to do, putting that six-figure pay day behind him. "As marquee events go this King of America kind of ranks with the Fall Jamboree," Chisholm said. "It's the two original big Modified races. It's one of our biggest races of the year with the USMTS Series. We're gonna come out trying to win it, just like everyone else." With only three events in the books so far on the USMTS schedule, Chisholm is a mere nine points behind five-time series champ Rodney Sanders. Not only is it way too early to talk points, Chisholm said he despises points racing any time of the year. Winning is the sole focus in his mind. "To be honest, I think points racing is dumb and to act like you're racing for points will only end up hurting you," Chisholm said. "Every time you're at the race track your goal is to win. If you keep that in mind, the other stuff just kind of works out. Our goal every time is to try and win the race. If we come up short, we come up short and we'll try again next week."

- Moran Goes Back-to-Back in Brownstown's Indiana Icebreaker
BROWNSTOWN, IN (March 22, 2025) - Devin Moran spent several years striving to win a Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series race at Brownstown Speedway. He checked that off his bucket list when he claimed the Indiana Icebreaker in 2024, and then 12 months later, he secured back-to-back victories by winning this year's edition, which was worth an event-record $25,000, on Saturday night, leading all 50 laps. Moran beat Ricky Thornton Jr. to the checkered flag by 1.118 seconds for the victory. Jonathan Davenport managed to repass Mike Marlar on the last lap, finishing in third place. Marlar took fourth. Josh Rice also executed a pass, getting by Daulton Wilson on the final lap to secure his second consecutive top-five finish in the series. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the fourth time this season, Moran expressed his affection for Brownstown Speedway as he and Thornton left Brownstown tied for the points lead. "Baby, I love Brownstown," said the Dresden, Ohio native who claimed his 19th career series win. "I love coming here. It was a hard-fought race the entire time. At the initial start, Garrett (Alberson) and JD were running the bottom, and I just made hay around the top in three and four. I had a really good race car, but I felt like they were on me the whole race this place is so hard to get separated from people. The lapped cars were all over the place, and there at the end, it started to get a little bottom dominate." "it's not going to be easy to win the championship this year. It's going to be a dogfight. The 20RT is obviously really, really good. The 49 I feel like is the best car in the country right now. To be 1,2,3, I think that is what a lot of people are going to see all year long, and it's going to be some great racing." Thornton, the defending Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion, was coming off of a win at Atomic on Friday. He briefly grabbed the lead on a lap 33 restart from Moran with a big slider in turn four, but Moran turned down the track to maintain his lead. "I just got a good restart and I I knew I wasn't going to pass Devin there. I was more going to slide Devin so that way JD couldn't get by me. It was more defense for second than trying to win it. So, I felt our car was pretty good there finally once it went slick towards the end, and I could move around a little bit." Davenport rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third after a hard-fought battle with Mike Marlar in the closing laps. "No doubt we had a good race (with Marlar). He come up through there pretty good. We were probably a little soft on tires. I thought we would be better at the beginning of the race than Devin was, but he fired really well, he's been really good here at Brownstown. We got good there during that long run which was kind of odd for our tire choice. But thereafter that caution, there was a lot of grit out in the middle of three and four so that's why I picked the top on the restart." The winner's Double Down Motorsports Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Lazydays RV, C&W Trucking, Bomag, Millwood Plumbing, Anthony's Pizza, Refuel Wellness, Red Oak Pub, Pee Wee's Wrecker Service, Eibach Springs, Smoky Mountain Speedway, Haulin' Haskell's CarSourceAuto, McHugh Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram, and Phillps CPA.

- Crigler goes wire-to-wire for 4 State Late Model win in Lucas Oil Speedway opener as Carroll, Galvan also prevail
WHEATLAND, MO. (March 22, 2025) - It was a dominant performance by Sawyer Crigler as Lucas Oil Speedway opened its season on Saturday night in the Late Model portion of March Full Body Madness. Crigler, a second-generation racer from Alton, Mo., led all 30 laps in a caution-free 4 State Late Model Series feature to outdistance Dustin Atkinson for the victory. Other feature winners in the March Full Body Madness program, attracting 99 entries in the four divisions, were Kenny Carroll (Hickamo Super Stocks) and Chase Galvan (SMSI Pure Stocks). The fourth and final feature, for the O'Reilly Auto Parts Stock Cars, was postponed by rain. Crigler's first Lucas Oil Speedway career win was never in doubt as he led from start-to-finish. He won six times on the 4 State Late Model Series in 2024. "This place is awesome," Crigler said in the victory lane. "The track was great. It was slick from top to bottom. It got a little rubbered up there at the end, but that was OK. This is the first race here with this series this year, so it's good to start it off with a win." It didn't take long for Crigler to drive away after starting on the pole as he opened a three-second gap over Joey Smith by lap five as reigning series champ Atkinson settled into third. Lapped traffic bogged the leader down by lap 10 with Smith cutting the deficit to 1.6 seconds. Once Crigler was able to get a bit of clearance from the heavy traffic, he was able to rebuild the command as a long caution-free run continued. Atkinson, meanwhile, slipped past Smith for second on lap 16 but Crigler was 3.5 seconds clear by then with no signs of letting up. Crigler stayed out of harm the rest of the way and finished 2.3 seconds in front of Atkinson for his first win of the season. Cole Wells rallied late to finish third with Smith finishing fourth and Andy Bryant fifth. Carroll makes late pass for Super Stocks win: Kenny Carroll made the winning pass as the white flag waved and held off race-long pacesetter Jared Hays to score the Hickamo Super Stocks feature victory. Hays started on the pole and by lap seven already had a 3.3-second lead over Tony Anglin with Carroll another second and a half behind Anglin. Hays caught lapped traffic by the mid point of the race on lap 10, which is when the first caution flew - and that served to wipe away Hays' big lead. After two more cautions, Taylor Carver zoomed from seventh to second by lap 14 and was putting heat on Hays when another caution slowed the action. But on the restart, Carver drifted high and was involved in a multi-car incident in turn two, taking him out of contention. Carroll came on strong after a lap-16 caution and zoomed around Hays on the high side coming to the white flag. The veteran driver and former Lucas Oil Speedway track champion from Camdenton held on from there and beat Hays by .665 seconds. "The last two (laps) were the easiest ones," Carroll said in victory lane. "There was a lot of thought going on the entire race, trying to think ahead between the bottom and top. It just worked out perfect." Tim Brown was third with Anglin fourth and Gary Clark fifth. SMSI Pure Stocks win to Galvan: Chase Galvan of Kansas City, Kan., led all 11 laps to win a weather-shortened SMSI Pure Stocks main event that was able to become official by just passing the halfway point before rain arrived. Third-starting Mason Beck was closing in on Galvan when a lap-six caution flew. After the restart it became a four-car tussle for the lead with Derek Brown and Bobby Brown joining the fray. But Galvan, who started on the pole, held onto the top spot, as another yellow flag came out with nine laps remaining. Beck fell out of contention on the restart when he had trouble in turn four. That's when rain began and the checkered flag waved at lap 11, making Galvan the winner with Derek Brown second, Bobby Brown third, Donnie Devers fourth and Payton McDowell fifth.

- Thornton Holds Off Rice in Buckeye Spring 50 at Atomic
CHILLICOTHE, OH (March 21, 2025) - Reigning Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion Ricky Thornton Jr. secured his first career victory at Atomic Speedway, taking home the $15,000 prize for winning the Buckeye Spring 50 on Friday night. Thornton successfully fended off a determined Josh Rice, marking his fourth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season. Rice, who closed in on Thornton several times during the last 39 laps of the race, finished second by 0.541 seconds at the line. Devin Moran came in third, followed by Mike Marlar and Hudson O'Neal. Thornton jumped to the lead at the start of the race, with Jonathan Davenport running in second place. Davenport stayed close to Thornton until a lapped car came down on him, forcing Davenport to spin in turn two after ten laps as the caution was displayed for him, requiring a restart from the back of the field. Rice then moved into second place as he and Garrett Alberson raced hard for that position, with Moran joining the battle after starting in ninth. Moran briefly took second, but Rice fought back to reclaim the position. In the closing laps, Rice managed to catch up to Thornton, but he couldn't pull off a last-minute move on the final lap to try and steal the win from Thornton. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 46th time in his career, Thornton has now assumed the championship points lead as he heads to Brownstown on Saturday. "I knew Josh (Rice) was going to be good, really, I thought he was a little better than I was there I was just able to get out in front of him. I've got a little right-side damage. I got behind a lapped car, and he kept kind of going low, and he turned back to the bottom finally, and I knew it was time I had to go, or I was going to get passed, so I and he hit a little bit, obviously I got some right-side damage. It's part of it, so we will have it ready tomorrow at Brownstown." "It was a hard-earned 50 laps for sure. With JD starting next to me this is one of his better race-tracks. I don't know what happened to him. You don't want to see a guy be the yellow, especially him; you want to beat guys like that straight up." Rice, who came into the event with two career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victories at Florence Speedway, nearly stole the show at Atomic. "Really, I felt like I needed it to stay green. We were a little bit harder on tires than he was. It was a heck of a race. Ricky did everything he had to do to win that one. I am sure all of the fans loved it. Really, this is our first weekend out; last weekend wasn't so good. We adjusted good on the car tonight. I feel like we did some stuff we don't normally do, and it worked out from hot laps to qualifying. I had a totally different racecar with just a slight adjustment." Moran, who maintained second in the points and heads to Brownstown tomorrow as the defending Indiana Icebreaker winner, rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "I've got to start closer to the front. I feel like I have been starting all these races in the back and having to pass cars. Ricky and Josh were really good. I had a couple of chances to slide Josh, and I knew he was going to be on the gas, and I didn't want to do that. All-in-all, they did an awesome job with the racetrack." The winner's Koehler Motorsports Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Ultimate Towing and Recovery, Elite Ready Mix, Capital Waste, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms Racing, Sunoco Race Fuels, Bilstein Shocks, EMD Wraps, Certified Inspection Services, and Knight's Companies. Completing the top ten were Garrett Alberson, Brandon Overton, Carson Ferguson, Donald McIntosh, and Jonathan Davenport.

- Shuman named new Lucas Oil Speedway assistant GM, competition director
WHEATLAND, MO. (March 20, 2025) - Casey Shuman, with nearly 30 years of experience as both a driver and a national touring series owner or director, has been appointed Lucas Oil Speedway's new Assistant General Manager and Competition Director. "We're thrilled to welcome someone with Casey's extensive experience and deep roots in the dirt-track racing world," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. Shuman, 45, has been General Manager at I-70 Motorsports Park for the last two seasons following a four-year stint as Series Director for the World of Outlaws Late Model Series. He and wife Brooke owned and operated the WAR Sprint Car Series from 2015-19. Casey and Brooke live in Platte City, Mo., and have a daughter, Sawyer. "Ive always loved racing at Lucas Oil Speedway," said Shuman, a Tempe, Arizona native who started driving Sprint cars as a teenager and raced full-time for 20-plus years. Though he retired from full-time racing in 2015, he still occasionally gets behind the wheel of his open-wheel car. "I raced full-time for 20-22 years, but the promotion and series side of our industry always interested me," Shuman said. "I raced 6-8 times last year, and I'll likely do around the same this year. It's just enough to have some fun. Driving is no longer the focus of my career, but I still enjoy getting out there and having a good time." "When this position with Lucas Oil Speedway revealed itself, I knew it was the right time, and I'm excited for the opportunity to be part of this top tier staff and facility," Shuman said of accepting the Lucas Oil Speedway management position. "My dad raced for a living with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series when I was born. I've been around the racetrack since I was a kid and started racing Sprint cars as a teen. All these years later, I'm still a dedicated advocate for the sport that raised me and I'm looking forward to what's ahead for our team at the Diamond of Dirt Tracks in Wheatland, Missouri." Shuman said he's "ready to jump right into the season" when it begins this weekend with the March Full Body Madness on Saturday. Shuman replaces Ernie Leftwich, who resigned earlier this month to become series director of the Comp Cams Super Late Model Series. Season opens this weekend: The 2025 schedule roars to life this weekend with a special on the dirt oval on Saturday as March Full Body Madness brings all four full-body classes to one program.

- Henry picks up where he left off, opens Attica season with 410 win; Schlenk dominates late models; MIller returns to 305 victory lane
ATTICA, Ohio - Cap Henry picked up where he left off in 2024. The Republic, Ohio driver, a three time and defending Attica Raceway Park 410 sprint champion, took the lead from Craig Mintz on lap eight and then held off several challenges from Mintz in traffic to score the opening night win at "Ohio's Finest Racing" speed plant, Friday, March 14 on Underground Utilities Inc./R.D. Holder Oil Company Night. Dan McCarron led the first two circuits of the Callie's Performance Products 410 Sprint A-main before fourth starter Mintz blasted by for the lead. Henry, who started eighth on the grid, moved into second on lap seven and under Mintz for the lead exiting turn four to complete lap eight. Henry encountered heavy lapped traffic on lap 13 and that allowed both Mintz and DJ Foos to close. Henry and Mintz nearly touched several times over the next hand full of laps until the only caution of the 30-lap affair fell on lap 14 for a stalled Chris Andrews who had charged from eighth to ninth. Despite a clear track, Henry could not shake Mintz as the pair continued to battle through heavy lapped traffic with just eight laps to go. Henry finally found the high line to his liking and pulled away for his 21st career 410 sprint win at Attica, placing him in a tie with Chad Kemenah for fourth on the division's all-time win list. Mintz, Foos, McCarron and Bryan Sebetto rounded out the top five. "I was pretty confident before that caution. I told Zack (Myers, crew chief) we were kind of fighting something with the wing valve…it felt like the wing was just moving wherever it wanted. So I was driving the thing and trying to push it back forward and finally just let it trunk itself and dealt with it. It was pretty close there with Craig…man I'll take it, it was a lot of work," said Henry beside his Premier Planning Service, Jeff Ward Demolition, Ohio Logistics, Primal Tee Shop, Innovative Excavating, Elliott's Custom Trailers and Carts, FK Rod Ends, King Racing, Griff's Engines; Berryman Racing Shocks, Callie's Performance Products, Dyers, Power Cool Manufacturing, SCS Gearbox, Tony Elliott Foundation backed #33W. McClure, Ohio's Rusty Schlenk dominated the 25-lap Dirt Nerds Podcast UMP Late Model feature at Attica Raceway Park. The three time national UMP champion led from the drop of the green and built up sizeable leads with the feature's only caution on lap three the only thing that slowed him down. It was Schlenk's 46th career late model win at Attica, as he sits atop the all-time win list at the track. Devin Shiels, Casey Noonan, Ryan Markham and Collin Shipley rounded out the top five. "I had to be patient in traffic. I saw over my shoulder I had to run high a few laps so I could peak around to see where Devin was. I knew I had a little bit of a lead and I had to pick my way through there and be quick as I could. The lappers were all over the place and I didn't want to do anything stupid. This is the second race on this car. It's a new MK2 chassis that we built. We raced it once at the end of last year…raced at the Tennessee National and almost won that and we came here and dominated tonight. These new MK2 Domination cars are going to be pretty good," said Schlenk beside his Buckeye Concrete Coatings, Terry Henricks Auto Group, Velocita USA, Dominator Race Products, Tom Finch Auto, Domination Race Cars, All Star Performance backed #91. Like Henry, Fremont, Ohio's Jamie Miller also picked right up where he left off after the 2024 season which saw him win six features in the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints at Attica. Miller, a five time and defending Attica 305 sprint track champion took the lead from Blayne Keckler on lap 12 and survived the 25-lap feature's only yellow with just six laps to go, to score his 46th career division win, placing him second on the all-time win list. Seth Schneider got a last lap pass of Keckler to finish second with Brandon Moore and Kasey Ziebold rounding out the top five. "On that initial start I went to the bottom and didn't feel good…I thought something was wrong so on the next start I got a little better run on Kasey and went to the top and I said 'hell of staying here' and it just kept getting better and better. How about those RCF Chassis going one, two and three," said Miller beside his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kolb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty's Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Pub 400., Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy's Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed #26.

- NETTO LAYS CLAIM TO NARC OPENER AT VAN CONETT SALUTE AT STOCKTON
(3/8/25 - Andrew Kunas) Stockton, CA ... D.J. Netto kicked off the 2025 NARC 410 sprint car season in dominate fashion, winning the season opening Salute to Leroy Van Conett at the Stockton Dirt Track on Saturday. The Hanford, CA driver led all 30 laps, but had to work hard in heavy traffic, fighting off the reigning NARC champion Justin Sanders as they sliced and diced their way through slower cars. Sanders made numerous attempts to get around his fellow former champion, but Netto answered the call. Unfortunately, Sanders charge came to an abrupt end when he spun while trying to avoid a lapped car with just six laps remaining. With a clear track in front of him, Netto was never seriously challenged the rest of the way, winning aboard the Penny Newman Green-sponsored Netto Ag No. 88n Rider-powered KPC. It was a perfect ending for Netto who starting the program by setting the standard for the 25-car field in ARP qualifying with a new track record. He also claimed the Beacon Wealth Strategies dash to earn the pole for the feature. "Justin and I had been racing pretty well. I was kind of looking left and saw that he was going where I wasn't. I was trying to look left and straight at the same time," Netto said. "You don't know who's spinning out or who was where in front of you. Honestly the yellows came at the right time for me. It was going to get really good with Justin and I in traffic. I just had a really good race car (also)." Saturday's event honored Stockton-native Van Conett, an eight-time NARC champion and 1999 National Sprint Car Hall of Fame inductee. The 90-year old Van Conett was in attendance for the races. Fremont, California's Shane Golobic battled with Sean Becker in the closing laps and finished second aboard the NOS Energy Drink-sponsored Matt Wood Racing No. 17w Rider-powered KPC. Disappointed with his finish after a mistake on his part earlier, Golobic was grateful for the result and for his crew. "I think I lost our race earlier," Golobic said, regarding a pass he made around Sanders for second, but losing back when he made a mistake. "I'm really proud of our team. We're just a bunch of guys having a lot of fun together and the NOS Energy Drink guys work really, really hard and Matt Wood is helping us get up and down the road." After starting seventh, Becker settled for third aboard the Bjork Construction Company-sponsored No. 7b Shaver-powered Maxim. Coming from the 15th starting position, Kaleb Montgomery charged to finish fourth aboard the Luxon Real Estate-sponsored Montgomery Racing No. 3 Speedway-powered Maxim. Andy Forsberg finished fifth in the Pacific Highway Rentals-sponsored No. 92 Don Ott-powered Maxim. Tim Kaeding put on a show for his legion of fans aboard the Williams Motorsports No. 0, earning the Williams Roofing Hard Charger nod, advancing 15 positions and coming from 21st to finish sixth. Dylan Bloomfield, who ran as high as second late in the race, finished seventh. Tanner Carrick, Billy Aton and Dominic Gorden rounded out the top ten. Heat races earlier in the evening were won by Tanner Carrick, Shane Golobic and Dylan Bloomfield. Hoosier Racing Feature (30 laps): 1. 88 D.J.

- AFTER A LONG LAYOFF, BRODY ROA SCORES AN IMPRESSIVE 5TH PLACE FINISH IN HIS RETURN TO PERRIS
(Cypress, CA, March 5, 2025) After more than six months out of the saddle, Southern California sprint car racing star Brody Roa finally returned to action when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Series made its first 2025 appearance at Perris Auto Speedway last Saturday night. The veteran racer looked like he had not missed a day as he started 13th and drove all the way to fifth to capture the Jim and Chet Gardner Hard Charger Award. Roa, who suffered a bad cut to his fingers last October, said he never noticed the injuries. That included using the repaired hand to pull tear offs and adjust his shocks in the heat of the battle. After qualifying 14th fastest in the 25-car field, Roa, who makes his home in Garden Grove, California, improved throughout the night. Starting on the outside of the front row in the second heat race of the Perris sprint car season opener, Roa steered his bright green #91R to a second place finish in the 10-lapper. "It felt pretty good," Roa happily stated about getting back in the car after the layoff. "It took a bit of time to get going. I would say my track record as a qualifier is not very good. After taking what felt like a year off did not help. I kind of started the night getting back into the swing of it. We were getting our new engine tuned in and we made improvements all night." Even though the 2023 USAC/CRA Series champion ran well in his heat race, the qualifying time was still going to hamper his effort in the main event. He was starting from the inside of row seven in the 23 car field, 30 lap main event. That meant he was going to have to pass a lot of cars to get a decent finishing position. As is usually the case at Perris, the main event was a war! Roa was one of several drivers in a wild mid-pack battle for most of the race before he really began to roll forward. "I knew what we had to do, we were going to have to pass cars," Roa recalled. "Starting there, I was with, behind and around a few cars I really did not want to spend much time around. I knew we were better than where we were starting. I did not get the best of starts and it felt like I fell back to 17th or 18th the first couple of laps. I got stuck behind the #73 on the bottom before I could get up to the top and get some momentum. I just wanted to get forward and get up to the guys who I knew had some speed. In the last 1/3 of the race I got there. I felt we had some pretty good speed with them. We were a little behind on the set up for the feature. We were to free at the end to do anything once we got there." Roa used the DRC Chassis he drove to the championship in 2023. His uncle purchased the engine for the car last year. He only got about half a race with it last September before being knocked out of the action due to a crash at the Santa Maria Speedway. Despite being a little off on the gearing at the start of the night, the team tweaked on it and it got better. That gives the veteran driver more confidence regarding setup heading into his next race in four weeks. Roa will return to action when the USAC/CRA Series returns to Perris Auto Speedway on Saturday, April 5th. That gives him some extra time off. His wife Tailor just bought the family a new toy hauler and they plan to make good use of it. So where will Roa, Tailor and their two daughters head to before he returns on the 5th? "We are actually taking it to Lake Perris (which is adjacent to the track) on the High Limit Series weekend," Roa laughed. We are going to come out and watch them. That will be fun." Roa would like to thank his 2025 sponsors, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Burris Racing, ALR Virtual Services, Caltrol, Molecule, and Wilwood Disc Brakes. If you would like to be a marketing partner with the team in 2025, contact Roa using the information at the top of this release.

- NARC OPENS '25 SPRINT CAR CAMPAIGN WITH VAN CONETT SALUTE AT STOCKTON
(3/3/25 - Andrew Kunas) Stockton, CA ... After a long winter, the wait is coming to an end for 410 sprint car fans in California as the Northern Auto Racing Club opens its highly anticipated 2025 season this Saturday night with the annual Salute to Leroy Van Conett at the Stockton Dirt Track. The first of 29 races scheduled for NARC's 66th season of competition, the Salute to Leroy Van Conett honors one of the all-time greats. A Galt, CA native, Van Conett was an eight-time NARC champion, winning his first title in 1969 and scoring his last in 1984. Among his many career sprint car victories were a Gold Cup win and 65 NARC triumphs, and it all resulted in Van Conett entering the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 1999. Van Conett's NARC championship total has been surpassed only by fellow Hall of Famer Brent Kaeding. Aromas, California's Justin Sanders, the defending NARC series champion, won last year's Salute to Leroy Van Conett after making a late pass around former series champion Sean Becker. Sanders also won the NARC season finale at Stockton in spectacular style last November, beating Cole Macedo late to win the annual Tribute to Gary Patterson and win the NARC championship in walk off fashion. Sanders, driving the Mittry Motorsports No. 2x, will look start his title defense with a win at the track where he saw much success last year. Several other top racers will be on hand. Among them will be the rising star from Oregon, Tanner Holmes, who will be splitting time this season between his family's car and the potent Tarlton Motorsports No. 21, which he will be piloting on Saturday. Holmes won his first NARC 410 race last year and looks to quickly add to his total this season. With Macedo behind the wheel, the Tarlton Motorsports team nearly won the NARC title last year against Sanders. A number of other aspiring drivers have been knocking on the door of their first NARC win, and opening night at Stockton Dirt Track is that first opportunity this season for drivers like Gauge Garcia of Lemoore, and Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield, a pair of drivers who led NARC main events last season but fell short. Ashton Torgerson of Glendale, AZ is one of the drivers who will compete for NARC Rookie of the Year honors. A former Tulsa Shootout winner in micro-sprint competition and having raced midgets and 360 sprint cars, Torgerson recently moved up to the 410 ranks and will be one of the young guns to watch. Other NARC rookie of the year candidates include Landon Brooks of Rio Oso, who will be driving for the veteran Bates-Hamilton Racing Team. Other top drivers expected to compete include 2024 NARC rookie of the year Caeden Steele of Fresno; Billy Aton of Benicia; Dominic Gorden from Clovis; Lincoln's Tanner Carrick; Campbell's Bud Kaeding; San Jose's Tim Kaeding, Shane Golobic of Fremont; Templeton's Kaleb Montgomery; Angelique Bell of Roseville; Jarrett Soares of Gilroy; Jennifer Osborne of Geyersville; Oregon driver Tyler Thompson; Roseville's Sean Becker; Hanford's DJ Netto and many others. Fan Info The NARC portion of the race program includes qualifying, three eight-lap heat races, a 6-lap dash, and a 30-lap feature event. Also on the card with the NARC 410 sprint cars on Saturday night will be the Hunt Magneto Wingless Sprints, NorCal Dwarf Cars and the Legends of Kearney Bowl. The Stockton Dirt Track is located at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds at 1658 S Airport Way. The main gate for fans opens at 4pm.

- 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. To see Guerrero's USAC/CRA debut this Saturday, spectator gates at Perris Auto Speedway will open at the normal 5:00 p.m. for the first race of the track's 29th season of operation. However, racing will start 30 minutes earlier than normal at 6:30. Tickets for those ages 13 and over are $35.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $30.00.

- 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." The winner's Bobby and Jessica Koehler-owned Koehler Motorsports Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Ultimate Towing and Recovery, Hoker Trucking, Coltman Farms Racing, Elite Ready Mix, Capital Waste, Bilstein Shocks, Sunoco Race Fuels, Certified Inspection Services Company, Inc., and EMD Wraps. Jonathan Davenport, Donald McIntosh, Jimmy Owens, Tim McCreadie, and Hudson O'Neal completed the top ten.

- 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.

- 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. Always an interesting mix of feature starters, event rookies, and talent from across the racing spectrum, each night offers its own unique set of challenges. Ask anyone who has raced it will tell you there is no easy night, and you still have to race them all again on Saturday.

- 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.
