- Long-time racing supporter Chris Davis named Forrest Lucas Lifetime Achievement Award winner at Lucas Oil Speedway banquet
SPRINGFIELD, MO. (Dec. 1, 2023) - Lucas Oil Speedway paid tribute to the stars of its 2023 Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series season and honored one of the biggest contributors to dirt-track racing on Friday night at the annual Lucas Oil Speedway Championship Banquet. Chris Davis, the owner/operator of Midwest Sheet Metal located in Springfield, who has been a friend of the sport from the local, grassroots level to the national scene with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, received the Forrest Lucas Lifetime Achievement Award for contributions on and off the track. Announcement of the award came at the conclusion of the banquet, which was held at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds Center Hall in Springfield. The award is always a highlight of the banquet and this was no exception as Davis was stunned when he was announced as the award winner. "We're pleased to recognize Chris Davis as the seventh recipient of the Forrest Lucas Award for all Chris has done for the sport," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "He's a great friend of motorsports for all he has done, whether it's for the local racer who does it as a hobby or the best of the best on the highest level of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series." Davis has been around racing most of his life as his father, Bill, sponsored several drivers with his Trux Trailers business. Chris' long-time friend Scott Bass began racing in 1988 and Chris soon followed, started his racing career in on the dirt and pavement in a Street Stock running at Bolivar, Lebanon and Monett. He won races on both surfaces, in the same car. In 1990 Chris built a Late Model and competed on the asphalt at Bolivar Speedway USA and Lebanon I-44 Speedway. In the early 1990s, Chris met future wife Jan and they were married in 1994 and purchased Midwest Sheet Metal from Jan's father, Dave. Devoting himself to the business and raising a family, Chris retired from driving a race car in 1995. But his connection to the sport was far from over. He began building custom race-car parts for local racers. During a trip to the Chili Bowl in Tulsa, Chris met racer Jimmy Owens that started a long-time friendship with the driver who would go on to become one of the top names in Late Model racing. That friendship led to Chris meeting the top drivers on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, where he's known as a friend to all on the circuit. Chris and Jan Davis also have sponsored the Midwest Sheet Metal Challenge since 2013. The event is one of the most-exciting of Show-Me 100 weekend in giving drivers a last shot at qualifying for the Show-Me 100 main event while also providing some cash for the non-qualifiers. "I'm rarely a loss for words," Davis said. "This is huge. This is Forrest Lucas and he's a good friend of mine and, gosh, I don't know. This means so much. There are so many people I forgot to thank when I was up there (on stage). The Lucas family, everyone at the speedway and so many others. "Behind every person who is a success is a hidden hero and mine is my wife, Jan," Davis added. "I love her to death." Davis said he takes pride in helping out racers, no matter what class they compete in. "The Street Stock guys, the Hobby Stock Guys, Go-Kart guys ... they're all customers and friends," Davis said. "If one says, 'hey, I can't get this car to turn' then I will usually try to help them get the car to turn. My wife says I'm a natural at getting things to work and people appreciate that, or at least some do. The ones that do appreciate it, you've made a friend for life." Meanwhile, Weekly Racing Series track champions Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber Late Model), Ryan Middaugh (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky Modifieds), Bobby Williams (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Mason Beck (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars) received their awards. The Most Popular Driver Award for track regular competitors, determined through online fan voting, went to Mitchell Franklin from the USRA B-Mod division. Franklin, from Camdenton, drives the F1 car and picked up his first Lucas Oil Speedway feature win during the 2023 season to earn one of the biggest ovations of the season. Track photographers Greg and Stacy Stanek of GS Stanek Racing Photography expanded the Best Appearing Race Car Award to one winner in each division. Those winners were Tucker Cox (Hermitage Lumber Late Models), Greg Scheffler (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky Modifieds), JC Newell (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Waylon Dimmitt (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). "Congratulations to all our award winners after another great season and we look forward to seeing everyone again in 2024," Lorton said.

- Hartmann's sophomore 410 Sprint Car season nets second top-10 IRA points showing
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) November 29, 2023 - After a completing a promising rookie Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series campaign in 2022 in just his third year behind the wheel of a race car, Austin Hartmann came back to register a solid second season in the seat of the 87A Hartmann Racing 410 Sprint Car during the 2023 campaign. In all, Hartmann's demanding six-month 2023 season schedule featured trips to 14 different tracks in six states with the team placing ninth in the final IRA point standings. Along with completing the full IRA slate, Hartmann mixed in additional races with the NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws 410 Sprint Car Series and Tezos All Star Circuit of Champion 410 Sprint Car Series, while sprinkling in non-sanctioned events at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. and Butler Speedway in Quincy, Mich. In 33 410 Sprint Car events during the 2023 season, Hartmann tallied one top-five, six top-10 and 12 top-15 A-main showings, while recording two heat race victories and six IRA dash appearances. After turning in a 10th place showing in the 2022 IRA 410 Sprint Car Series point standings during his rookie season, Hartmann closed out his second full season of IRA 410 Sprint Car Series action one spot better with a ninth place showing in the final 2023 point standings. The Plymouth, Wis. driver opened the 2023 IRA schedule with a ninth place effort in B-main competition at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa on April 7 before placing sixth in B-main action on April 8. After finishing fifth in the second IRA dash to claim the 10th A-main starting spot in the 30-lap A-main event at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on April 15, Hartmann did not turn another competitive lap for the remainder of the program. Shortly after pushing off for the 30-lap A main, a broken component in the driveline of the 87A Hartmann Racing machine forced Hartmann to leave the track and retire to the pit area for the remainder of the event. He was listed 22nd in the final race rundown. The highlight of Hartmann's 2023 season followed on May 6 as he turned in a career-best fifth place showing in a non-sanctioned 410 Sprint Car A-main event at Wilmot Raceway. A doubleheader weekend of competition with the Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions netted a ninth place B main showing at Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville, Ill. on Friday, May 12 and a 20th place A-main finish in a co-sanctioned All Star-IRA event at Wilmot Raceway on Saturday, May 13. Hartmann's best A-main showing of the 2023 IRA season came one week later as he turned in an eighth place finish at The Plymouth Dirt Track on May 20. The ensuing three IRA events netted a 17th place finish at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. on May 21, a 12th place showing at Wilmot Raceway on May 27 and a 13th place finish at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis. on May 28. Another doubleheader weekend of Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions action resulted in a 10th place B-main showing at the Dodge County Fairgrounds in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Friday, June 2 before Hartmann came home 25th in the annual Rayce Rudeen Foundation A-main event at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, June 3. The following weekend saw Hartmann tally a pair of top-15 A-main finishes in IRA competition as he came home ninth at Sycamore Speedway in Maple Grove, Ill. on June 10 and placed 12th at Angell Park Speedway on June 11. Hartmann joined the NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Series for a pair of events at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on June 16-17, coming away with 20th place finishes in both A-main events. After taking 10th place in IRA A-main competition at Fairbury Speedway in Fairbury, Ill. on June 24, Hartmann finished 15th in IRA main event action at The Plymouth Dirt Track on July 1. A stirring heat race run saw Hartmann qualify directly into a NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Series A main at Wilmot Raceway on July 8. A lap 6 heat race pass for fifth place earned Hartmann his third World of Outlaws series A-main start of the 2023 season and his first interview with World of Outlaws Pit Reporter Chase Raudman before capping the night with a 19th place finish in A-main action. A long trip to Minnesota and North Dakota followed with Hartmann placing 19th in IRA A-main action at I-94 emr Speedway in Fergus Falls, Minn. on July 13 before taking 10th in main event competition at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D. on July 14 and a 20th place A-main finish on July 15. After qualifying third in the 25-lap field, rain washed out main event action at Outagamie Speedway in Seymour, Wis. on July 21, Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team notched a strong sixth place A-main showing in a non-sanctioned 410 Sprint Car event at Butler Speedway in Quincy, Mich, on July 22. Hartmann then posted 22nd and 19th place A-main finishes in IRA events at The Plymouth Dirt Track and Wilmot Raceway respectively on July 28 and July 29. Following a two-week break from competition, Hartmann finished 10th in an IRA B main at Wilmot Raceway on Aug. 19 before placing 14th in an IRA A main at Angell Park on Aug. 20. Hartmann escaped without injury, following a hard crash and ensuing fire in his No. 87 machine, during IRA heat race action at 34 Raceway on Aug. 25. The final month of the 2023 season saw Hartmann record top-20 A-main finishes in IRA events at Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway on Sept. 1 (19th), The Plymouth Dirt Track on Sept. 2 (19th), Gondik Law Speedway in Superior, Wis. on Sept. 8 (15th), Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. on Sept. 9 (15th) and The Plymouth Dirt Track on Sept. 30 (20th). "I would like to thank all of the sponsors, crew members, family, friends and fans, who have helped me live out my dream of racing a 410 Sprint Car at track across the Midwest," Hartmann said. "I appreciate everything they have done over the past two years."

- Early Entries Put The 39th Annual Tulsa Shootout On Record Watch!
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (November 29, 2023) Rocketing past the 1,000-entry mark for the tenth year in a row on November 18, the number of entries into the 39th annual Tulsa Shootout has not slowed down, with the count sitting at 1,311 between the six featured divisions. Creeping up on the previous event record of 1,397, set in 2020, the current entry record stands at 1,739, with 1,661 drawing in, and was set during the 2022 edition of the 'Mecca of Micros'. The 2023 show was only six entries under the record, with total entries drawing in setting a new record at 1,655. An idea of how far ahead entries currently stand and why this year's event could be a record-setting affair, pre-entries for the 2023 event closed with 1,536 on file. The 1,311 entries received so far for the 2024 showdown include 540 drivers from 330 cities across 40 states and three countries (USA, Can, NZ). Of the drivers, 242 plan to compete in at least three divisions. Needing to fit within a specific age range to do so, seven drivers fall into that category and are able to race in five classes. Both stock divisions have cleared 300 entries each, with Joe's Racing Products Stock Non-Wing sitting at 314, and EVO Fuel Injection A-Class at 302. Hyper Racing Non-Wing Outlaw follows with 285, with the RS12 Winged Outlaws with 195. K&B Racing Restricted sits at 119, with the Flying A Motorsports Junior Sprints on track to have their largest field ever, with the count currently at 95. The 2023 event saw 96 drivers draw in out of the 98 entries received. The lead-up to the Chili Bowl Nationals in January, several drivers will again take the opportunity to utilize the Tulsa Shootout for added-on-track experience. Tyler Courtney in a Christopher Bell owned entry was revealed recently, but a quick glance through the classes finds 22 drivers doing so. Tim Buckwalter, Michael Faccinto, Noah Gass, Blake Hahn, Colton Hardy, and even defending Chili Bowl Champion, Logan Seavey, are just some drivers looking for extra seat time. For Chili Bowl Rookies like Cale Coons, Elijah Gile, and Joey Amantea, that added time on track is invaluable. Teams can enter online 24/7 at https://www.myracepass.com/series/1531/registrations/8517. Starting November 30, 2023, the cost per class will be $125, and will close on December 13, 2023. After that, teams will have to enter at the event during check-in on Monday, December 26, 2023 The 39th annual Tulsa Shootout dates are December 27-31, 2023. Teams will move in, draw, and purchase Pit Passes on Tuesday, December 26, 2023. Practice will occur on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, with the first rounds of Heats taking the green around 7:00 P.M. (CT). Racing will continue each day, starting at 9:00 A.M., with the race for the Golden Driller wrapping up on New Year's Eve. Happening about every ten years, the final day of racing will be on a Sunday. 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 39th running of the Tulsa Shootout include RS-12 Motorsports Winged Outlaw, 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.

- EDDIE TAFOYA JR. WRAPPED UP HIS 2023 SEASON AT VENTURA'S TURKEY NIGHT GRAND PRIX
(Chino, CA, November 27, 2023) Nine months after he began his 2023 racing season with the USAC National Sprint Car Series in Florida, Eddie Tafoya Jr. concluded the year at last Saturday's Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway. Unfortunately, the results of the flat right rear sustained in the previous night's action handicapped him on Saturday night and he missed the transfer to the main by two spots. Attached to this release is a photo of Eddie Tafoya Jr. with his father Eddie Sr., and a Specialty Fasteners logo. After scoring an impressive green-to-checkers win in his heat on Friday, Tafoya was running in third in his qualifier and seemed headed for one of the coveted 10 guaranteed spots in Saturday's A main. That all changed when a car spun directly in front of the Chino Hills, California driver leaving him nowhere to go. It also left three more cars behind him with nowhere to go. When all was said and done, there was not much damage on the #51T and he was ready for the restart. However, before the green flag waved again, his left rear tire deflated sending him to the infield for the duration. The flat tire sent Tafoya into a do-or-die B main event on Saturday. The B main was 12 laps and it started with 16 cars. Only the top six would earn a ticket to the prestigious Turkey Night Grand Prix main event. The 26-year-old driver began the race on the inside of the 6th row in 11th. Thus, he had his work cut out for him on the tiny track that features narrow straightaways that are hard to pass on in full-size sprint cars. For the length of the 12 lapper, Tafoya managed to stay out of the chaos that plagued the race. He passed three cars to move up to eighth and was leaning on the seventh-place car when time ran out and the checkered flag ended the quick race. The race was Tafoya's final night of a busy season that saw him make 20 appearances with the USAC National Sprint Cars, six shows with USAC/CRA, and single races in the USAC West Coast Series and the POWRi War Sprints. With the racing portion of the year over, the preparation for 2024 begins. The cars will be stripped down and gone over for the upcoming season. Replacement and spare parts will be ordered. In addition, Tafoya will be exploring marketing opportunities. If you or your company would like to be a marketing partner with this fast-rising, high-profile team next year, please contact Eddie Tafoya Jr. via phone at (909) 393-3999 or by e-mail at mailto:teamtafoya@aol.com. He will be happy to talk to you and lay out the team's plans for 2024. If you would like to hear the friendly driver on the Dirt Tracks and Rib Racks Podcast, please visit the following link https://open.spotify.com/episode/1Hox9dg0iRGXo0szabeqDy Tafoya's great-looking shirts and hoodies are available online at www.specialty-fasteners.com.

- BRADEN CHIARAMONTE CLOSES 2023 OUTDOOR SEASON THIS WEEK AT MERCED AND THE TURKEY NIGHT GRAND PRIX
(El Cajon, CA, November 20, 2023) Rising open-wheel star Brayden Chiaramonte will close the outdoor portion of his 2023 racing schedule this week with races at the Merced Speedway Tuesday and Wednesday, November 21st and 22nd, and Saturday at the Ventura Raceway in the 82nd running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix. All three shows will see the talented driver competing in Matt Streeter's fast #14 USAC Midget. The teenage driver enters the final week of USAC competition after competing in the USAC National Midget Series races last Tuesday at the Bakersfield Speedway and Friday in the Hangtown 100 at the Placerville Speedway. Bakersfield Speedway, November 14th Thirty-six UASC National Midgets showed up at the Bakersfield for the first of six races in California. Making his first appearance in a midget in 10 months dating back to the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Oklahoma, Chiaramonte came out flying in qualifying. The 16-year-old from El Cajon, California turned in a lap of 12.900. That was good for the 11th fastest time in the 36-car star-laden field. Chiaramonte found himself outside row two in the third heat race. Running in the top four most of the way, he was clearly one of the fastest cars in the group. However, a late-race stop sent him to the back of the pack for a restart. He fought his way past one car when the race went back to green but time ran out and he finished eighth. That meant he had to contest the 12-lap B main. In a hard-fought, 16-car, star-filled B, Chiaramonte ended up seventh, missing a transfer to the A main by one position. PLACERVILLE SPEEDWAY, NOVEMBER 17th Chiaramonte and his team journeyed 300 miles north from Bakersfield to Placerville for Friday's opening night of the Hangtown 100. Before they got there, the track had been pounded by rain. The track staff did a stellar job getting the track good enough to race on. Qualifying was split up by heat race groups and Chiaramonte was third fastest in his group of nine cars with a lap of 12.407. That was good for the 17th-best time of the 36 cars on hand. While the track crew got the clay surface raceable, the rain made for technical, "cowboy up" conditions. With drizzle hitting the track for his heat, Chiaramonte started sixth. Unfortunately, a car spun to a stop in turn four in front of him on lap one. With nowhere to go, he nearly got past the stopped car, but nicked it with his right rear. The yellow for the spinner necessitated a complete restart. Battling for the fourth and final transfer spot, track conditions saw him bicycle in turn three with two laps to go. He quickly recovered but slipped back to sixth. That is where he finished and it forced him to contest the B main. Starting on the pole in the B, Chiaramonte tamed the track and led the first two circuits before slipping back to second on lap three. Going into turn one on the fourth go around, the new leader got upside down bringing out a red flag. Simultaneously, the heavens opened up again and saturated the track. By the time the rain stopped and the track crew had worked the surface back in, the action had been delayed for 45 minutes. When racing resumed, Chiaramonte started first and kept the black #14 in front over the final nine laps for the victory and his ticket into the main event. He started 20th in the 30-lap main event that went green to checkers without a caution or a red flag. The final rain made the track hard to pass on and the young driver ended up 22nd in the main event. Chiaramonte will conclude the outdoor portion of his season this Friday and Saturday in the 82nd Running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway. Friday will be practice for the USAC National Midgets with their racing on Saturday. Advance tickets are available and advised at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/82nd-annual-turkey-night-grand-prix-tickets-629591554287?aff=oddtdtcreator. Gates will open at 3:00 p.m. each day.

- SHANE SEXTON FINISHES THE USAC/CRA PORTION OF HIS 2023 SCHEDULE THIS SATURDAY AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY
(Warner Springs, CA, November 9, 2023) "Shugah" Shane Sexton will close the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series portion of his 2023 racing schedule this Saturday, November 11th. It will be his third race of the year at the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval. Sexton comes into the final 410 West Coast race of 2023 after a disappointing weekend at last week's Western World Championships at the Cocopah Speedway. On a less-than-driver-friendly track surface on Friday night, the friendly driver qualified 31st at 18.436. Issues forced him out before the green flag in his heat race and sent him to the 12-lap B. He started the B in 14th and moved up a pair of spots to place 12th. Unfortunately, that was the end of his night. Sexton and the GAS Chassis #74 returned to Cocopah, which is located minutes from the USA/Mexico border, 24 hours later. The tough track conditions that prevailed throughout Friday were considerably better on night two. Sexton took advantage and clipped more than a half second off his previous night's qualifying effort with a 17.758. That was 27th fastest. A sixth place result in his heat once again sent the talkative racer to the B main where he started 11th. He moved forward and finished ninth. Once again, that brought a premature end to his night Soon afterward, the team found an issue that had plagued the car all weekend. "Honestly, we figured it out after some investigation," Sexton said. "We found out our shocks were valved incorrectly. I was doing wing adjustments with the shocks on a non-wing car. So, I was loosening myself up when I went to tighten myself up with the knobs. The car just could not find grip at all." "Fortunately we dropped them (the shocks) off with Deejay Dumas in San Diego. He rebuilt them for me. We are going to pick them up, slap them on the car tonight, and go kick some butt at Perris Auto Speedway tomorrow." Perris is where Sexton has done most of his full-size sprint car racing after beginning his career in mini dwarfs and lightning sprints. He enjoys competing there. "I like it just because we go there so often," he said. "I definitely feel the most comfortable there because I have so many notes there. It just kind of feels like home when we get to race there. It is USAC/CRA's home track." After Saturday, Sexton has one race left on his 2023 schedule. The 82nd running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway. It will be his first appearance on one of the USA's most picturesque racetracks and to say the least, he is excited. "It is pretty crazy to think about," Sexton enthused. "My goal there is to make the main, keep my nose clean and try to march forward. We are borrowing a motor from either Everhart (Tony Everhart) or my motor guy Mike Pridgeon. We are kind of up in the air about it right now and we are bouncing phone calls around to see what we are going to do." "I have done relatively well at Ventura and I have flipped there as well," he laughed. "It has all been in a lightning sprint. I have never raced a sprint car (360 or 410) there." All active military members with proper ID will get into Saturday night's race at Perris for just $5.00. In addition, they will receive one free pass for an accompanying guest. Adult tickets for Saturday's race are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6-12 it is only $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking.

- ONE TAFOYA OUT - ONE TAFOYA IN - SATURDAY AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY
(Chino, CA, November 10, 2023) Sprint Car racing is a very unpredictable sport. Most people attribute that to the ever-changing dirt track surfaces. That unpredictability is predictable. However, something that is unpredictable is going to happen at Perris Auto Speedway on Saturday night. Rising young star Eddie Tafoya Jr. lost two engines last weekend at the Western World Championships at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway. Thus, he is out for Saturday's 2023 finale at Perris. However, his father, Eddie Tafoya Sr. is back in a car after quite some time out of the cockpit. This scenario all came about when Tommy and Christy Dunkel, the 2023 USAC/CRA car owner champions, offered Tafoya Sr. the ride in their 360 car to race with the Senior Sprints this Saturday. Seven years ago, Tafoya Sr., a past draft pick of baseball's Pittsburgh Pirates, won The PAS Senior Sprint Car Series championship. He has also started a handful of USAC/CRA main events. With experience at the track not only in sprint cars but also off road cars, Tafoya Sr. jumped at the opportunity. Tafoya Sr. actually gave up his ride to Eddie Jr. in 2019. One year earlier, Eddie Jr. won The PAS Young Guns championship. One night when the family patriarch was late for a race, Eddie Jr. jumped in and hot lapped the car. He did so well that his dad left him in the car and began watching from the sidelines. The move paid dividends as the youngster, who won the USAC/CRA and USAC Southwest Rookie of the Year awards in 2019, has turned into one of sprint car racing's fastest rising stars. Last week at Cocopah for the Western World, Eddie Jr, qualified ninth fastest of the 33 cars on hand. However, issues started when he began fourth in the first heat race and almost immediately slid back into the pack. The B main was different. Eddie Jr. started third and stayed there for the first 2/3 of the race. At that point, he went from third to the rear and pulled off a couple of laps later. Two races and two engines down, his 410 season had come to an end. While Eddie Jr. will be out of this week's race, he will be back in action at the 82nd running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix on Thanksgiving weekend. The prestigious race will take place on the same Ventura Raceway where he earned his first Woodland Auto Display USAC/CRA Fast Time award a year and a half ago. All active military members with proper ID will get into Saturday night's race at Perris for just $5.00. In addition, they will receive one free pass for an accompanying guest. Adult tickets for Saturday's race are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6-12 it is only $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking.

- GRANT AND BRENT SEXTON RETURN TO ACTION IN PERRIS SEASON FINALE THIS SATURDAY
(Lakeside, CA, November 8, 2023) After a weekend off from its late-season grueling schedule, Sexton Gatlin Racing drivers Brent and Grant Sexton return to the dirt track wars at Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday. Grant will be finishing up his award-winning rookie season in the USAC/CRA Series and Brent will be trying to snare points in his pursuit of a second straight POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car championship. Spectator gates at the premiere dirt track in the west will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Grant, who at 19 is the youngest driver on the Sexton Gatlin roster, will put the bow on his USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year award season on Saturday. Last week at Cocopah, the teen raced in both the USAC/CRA portion of the show on Friday and Saturday and the ASCS 360 part of the affair on Friday. In Friday's USAC/CRA side of the Western World Championships, Sexton finished sixth in his heat and earned a transfer spot into the A main by placing seventh in the B. The 2021 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car champion then started 20th in the 30-lap A main. Unfortunately, the abrasive, tire-eating surface was taking its toll. One of the victims was Sexton who dropped out halfway through and finished 22nd. Preceding the USAC/CRA main event, Grant also drove in the ASCS 360 portion of the doubleheader program. The teen did a great job on that side of the show. He started third in his heat race and when the pole sitter took the number two starter wide coming to the green flag, Sexton alertly dove to the inside and flew by both. From then on he was never headed and led every lap for the victory. In the 25-lap ASCS main event, the teenage racer started fourth and ended up in seventh. A few minutes later he ran the USAC/CRA main. At that point, seeing track conditions and the way they were devouring tires, the SGR team made the decision to park the 360 for the second night and save it for the Turkey Night Grand Prix on Thanksgiving weekend at the Ventura Raceway. On the second night in the USAC/CRA show, Sexton finished fifth in his heat and third in the B main. That sent him to the A-main. With better track conditions, he began the 30-lapper in 21st and advanced six spots to place 15th. Heading into this week's USAC/CRA finale at Perris, Sexton has the Rookie of the Year award locked up. He is also locked into the eighth-place spot in the championship standings. While Grant's award and positions are locked in with USAC/CRA, things are different for his father Brent. The defending SWLS champion goes into Saturday's competition 49 points out of first. In addition to Saturday, the SWLS has a race left on Tuesday, November 14th at the Bakersfield Speedway. If Brent can garner enough points between the two races and take the title, it will give him four lightning sprint championships. This year and last season with the SWLS. The first two were in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series in 1999 and 2008. All active military members with proper ID will get into Saturday night's race at Perris for just $5.00. In addition, they will receive one free pass for an accompanying guest. Adult tickets for Saturday's race are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6-12 it is only $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking.

- BRODY ROA HEADS TO PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY ON SATURDAY AS THE 2023 USAC/CRA CHAMPION
(Cypress, CA, November 8, 2023) When Brody Roa arrives at Perris Auto Speedway with his Inland Rigging #17R sprint car this Saturday night, it will be the third time he has been there as a USAC champion. However, it will be the first time he gets to Southern California's premiere racetrack as the USAC/CRA champ. The Garden Grove, California racer sewed up the title in last week's Western World Championship at the Cocopah Speedway. Roa has had a dominating season in the West Coast series. He won the first two races at Cocopah in January and has led the championship point standings the entire season. Along the way, he won eight of the first 16 series races. The USAC/CRA season culminates at Perris on Saturday. It will be the 17th race on the 2023 schedule and Roa is seeking another victory to send his batting average above .500 in the series. "We ran good all year long," the 2024 USAC/CRA Series champion said. "In all honesty, I felt at the last few races we were not on the same level. Especially at Cocopah. We kind of did what we needed to do to keep the championship from coming down to Perris. We did not want to get to the last race worrying about points and worrying about what we had to do." "We are going to try to end the year the way we started it. We are going to show up like we did all year, with the best car we can, prep it as best we can, and make the best decisions we can. Now that we have the war won, we want to end up on top at the last race." Things had been going smoothly all season for Roa in the USAC/CRA Series. In addition to his eight wins (he scored a ninth win at an open comp race at Imperial Valley three weeks ago), he had three second-place finishes and a fifth in the first 14 races of the year. He only placed out of the top five twice. One of those was a sixth at Mohave Valley four weeks ago. The only USAC/CRA race he did not finish on the lead lap this year came at the Salute to Indy at Perris in May when he got clobbered by a lapped car late in the race while he leading. Things looked good for Roa heading into the two nights of action last week at Cocopah. After all, he posted a pair of wins there to kick off the year in January. However, things just did not go as well as planned. The weekend started good when he recorded the third fastest qualifying time and then placed third in his heat on Friday. It was going well in the main before disaster struck when his right rear tire went down eight laps from the finish. "We were up to fifth and I was still driving extremely conservative," the wily veteran said. "I was ticked off when I popped that tire. I knew from the drop of the green that I had to save that thing (right rear tire) to the end. I got to fifth, and it popped with eight to go. I was a little upset. I was wondering how the other drivers are saving tires. I am driving it in as straight as possible with no wheel spin and just trying to get around the track." "The tire actually delaminated. It actually started shaking eight or 10 laps before it blew. I just thought it was the rubber chattering the tire like it does. But when we got back into the pits and looked at it, there were three blocks on the inside and three blocks on the outside. The center was just torn off. That was a bummer because we were having kind of a decent run on a not-so-great track." Twenty-four hours later the team was hoping for better results but it was just one of those weekends. "Second night was a little challenging," Roa lamented. "We pulled a really late pill and did not qualify that good. I guess I was a little too aggressive with the line I was trying to qualify on. That kind of set us back and we started really deep. I picked off six cars right off the bat and got to 12th but by the time I got there, I could not even see the next car." "It was pretty treacherous on the top where I was running. I think about half the cars were on the top and half were on the bottom. I like running on the top rather than putting around on the bottom. With the big curb and as close to the wall as it was, I probably babied it around the cushion more than I should have." Roa's first two USAC sprint car championships came in 2016 and 2019. In 2016 he won the USAC West Coast Sprint Car title. Three years later in 2019, he earned the crown in the now-defunct USAC Southwest Series. This year's CRA title exceeds both of those in his eyes. "I think obviously at the top," Roa confirmed when asked if this year was the biggest of the three championships. "We have tried for this one for a long time and it is cool to finely get it done. I do not think it has set in yet. It is definitely cool and exciting to get it after trying for so long." Roa was to be joined at Cocopah by his teammate and car owner Tommy Dunkel who was going to wheel his #17A sprint car in the ASCS 360 portion of the show. However, an axle problem on his trailer forced Dunkel to abort his trip to the Southwestern Arizona track. This Saturday, Dunkel will be racing with Roa in the USAC/CRA show at Perris. It will be his first time racing a powerful 410 sprint car. "I am stoked for Tommy to make his 410 debut," Roa affirmed. "He gave us so much to get this championship this year. I am glad we could get it done a race early so we can get him in the second car on Saturday. It is super cool for him to give a 410 a shot. I think he is in for quite a surprise. They are totally different animals. He will be good and hopefully have a good time doing it." After Saturday's race, the Inland Rigging drivers will be off before participating in the 82nd Annual Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway on Thanksgiving weekend. All active military members with proper ID will get into Saturday night's race at Perris for just $5.00. In addition, they will receive one free pass for an accompanying guest. Adult tickets for Saturday's race are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6-12 it is only $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking.

- SETH AND JEFF DYER WILL BOTH BE IN ACTION AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY THIS SATURDAY
(Yucca Valley, CA, November 7, 2023) Two weeks after Cinderella's carriage turned into a pumpkin for Dyer Motorsports at the Ventura Raceway, team drivers Jeff and Seth Dyer will both be in action when Perris Auto Speedway closes its 27th season of racing this Saturday night, November 11th. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. and racing will begin at 7:00. The team will be taking both of its lightning sprint cars to Saturday's race along with its #39 full-size sprint car. Each of the team drivers will be competing in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car portion of the program. Twenty-four hours before Saturday's race, Jeff, a California Highway Patrol Officer, will be testing the #39 410 sprint car at The PAS. It will be his first time back in the substantially heavier racing machine since July 15th. He has been out of the car due to suffering a torn Achilles tendon in August. If the test goes well, he will race the car in the USAC/CRA portion of the program. If there is discomfort, the team will throw restrictors in the engine and Seth will make his second appearance in the PAS Young Gun Series. Dyer Motorsports started October off with a bang when Jeff destroyed the lightning sprint car competition to win his first race back after surgery at the Mohave Valley Raceway on October 14th. One week later at the Imperial Valley Raceway, Jeff finished third in the SWLS Friday night main event. Twenty-four hours later he finished sixth but for the second time in a week, a DMS car won the main event when Seth drove a perfect race. He led every lap and scored a runaway win for the first victory in his career. After two successful weeks, things took a turn in the wrong direction at the California Lightning Sprint Car Series race at Ventura on October 28th. The night started off bright enough when Jeff turned in his series-leading fifth fast qualifying time of the season. He backed that up with a third-place finish in his heat. An engine issue forced Seth to miss qualifying. The same concern compelled the team to make the decision to have him start the main event and immediately pull out so he could collect start points and not damage the powerplant. That would almost guarantee him finishing last in the main, right? Wrong! One driver did finish behind him. Unfortunately, that was his dad. The original start of the main event was called back as one of the front-row starters took off too early. Before the restart, Jeff coasted to a stop on the front straightaway. His front sprocket had come off and he was done for the night. Moments later after the race restarted, Seth did as planned, and coasted into the pits as the next car out. There is a lot at stake in Saturday's race as Jeff comes into the night with a 49-point lead in the SWLS championship standings. Seth is two spots back in third. In their other 2023 appearance with the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprints at The PAS this year on May 27th, Jeff won the main event and Seth ended up third. In honor of Veteran's Day, all active military members who show a valid ID at the ticket window on Saturday will get a ticket for $5.00 and a pass for one accompanying guest at the time of purchase. Adult tickets for Saturday's race are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6-12 it is only $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the City of Perris. The track website is http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (951) 940-0134. After Saturday's race at Perris, the Dyers will get right back in action when the SWLS and CLS clash in a co-sanctioned race at the Bakersfield Speedway next Tuesday night. Are you looking into getting into lightning sprint car racing? If you answered yes, contact Jeff Dyer. He has two top-of-the-line lightning cars for sale. He can be contacted using the phone number or email address at the top of this release. As pictured, the Dyer Motorsports team shirts are now available.

Jeff would like to thank the following for making the 2023 racing campaign possible in the #4 and 4Jr Lightning Sprint Cars. Dependable Machine Inc., Haircuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, LBA Investigations, and Dyer Motorsports.

- EXTRA SPRINT CARS STARS SHOWING UP FOR PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY 2023 SEASON FINALE
(Perris, CA, November 6, 2023) When Heimark Distributors Anheuser Busch presents the final Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series race of 2023 at Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday, November 11th, attending fans will see the appearances of three newly crowned champions. In addition to the 410 sprint car stars, the PAS Senior Sprints, Young Gun Sprints, and the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Cars will also be in action. It will be the final chance for fans to see racing at the famous Riverside County clay oval until February 2024. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. and racing will begin at 7:00. Heading the list of drivers is PAS regular Brody Roa. The Garden Grove, California racer sewed up his first USAC/CRA championship last weekend at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway. He will be joined by Ion, California's Justin Grant who recently put the finishing touches on his second straight USAC National Sprint Car Series title. Grant will be driving the same Matt Mitchell #37 that he wheeled to victory on his only PAS appearance of the year on March 18th. Joining those two champions will be the winningest 410 traditional sprint car driver in the nation this season, Ricky Lewis of Camarillo, California. Lewis has 17 main event wins thus far in 2023. In addition, he was also crowned champion in the Midwest's BOSS Sprint Car Series. Pleasant Hill, Ohio's Matt Westfall, who won the USAC National Series race at Texarkana 64 Speedway in Arkansas and who finished 12th in national points, will be making a rare PAS appearance on Saturday. Saturday's season finale will be the sixth race of the season for USAC/CRA on its home track in 2023. Yucaipa's Tommy "Thunder" Malcolm has two wins at Perris this season. He is the only USAC/CRA driver with more than one victory on the Riverside County clay oval this year. Roa, Grant, and Mitchell each have one triumph. One title that has not been decided yet is The PAS Young Gun Series champion. Technically, the top five in the standings have a mathematical chance of winning the title. Realistically, when the new champion is crowned after Saturday's main event, the victor should come from a trio of teens who populate the top three spots. Simi Valley high schooler Blake Hendricks comes in with a 13-point lead over second-place 15-year-old Cash Culp of Apple Valley. Elexa Herrera, a 2023 high school graduate who resides in New Cuyama, is 16 points out of the top spot. Defending series champion Stevie Rogers of Apple Valley and Brandon Nelson of Arroyo Grande round out the top five. Santa Fe Springs driver Ed Schwarz already has his first-ever PAS Senior Sprint Car Series title wrapped up. He has a 90-point lead over 2021 champion Dale Gamer of Anaheim entering Saturday's event. The POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Cars will be making their third appearance of 2023 at The PAS. Lakeside's Brent Sexton and California Highway Patrol Officer Jeff Dyer of Yucca Valley have won the first two races. Dyer, who also plans on racing his #39 410 sprint car with USAC/CRA on Saturday, has a 49-point lead over defending SWLS champion Sexton. Dyer's 16-year-old son, Seth, is third. In honor of Veteran's Day, all active military members who show a valid ID at the ticket window on Saturday will get a ticket for $5.00 and a pass for one accompanying guest at the time of purchase. Adult tickets for Saturday's season finale are $30.00. For seniors 65 and over it is $25.00. Kids 6-12 get in for $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking. There will be plenty of tickets available for everyone at the ticket window on Saturday, this event will not sell out.

- Twelve memorable moments from 2023 Lucas Oil Speedway season
WHEATLAND, MO. (Nov. 3, 2023) - With the final checkered flag having waved on the 2023 Lucas Oil Speedway season, it's time for our annual review of the "Diamond Dozen," a top 12 moments of the season. The list is compiled by Lucas Oil Speedway public relations director Lyndal Scranton with an assist from track announcer Shane Friebe. 1 - Huge crowd, big names, thrilling finish: One of the biggest motorsports events in southwest Missouri history lived up to its billing as a familiar face visit victory lane as the Camping World SRX Series came to Wheatland on Aug. 17. Jonathan Davenport, putting on a display worthy of his nickname of "Superman," led all 90 laps to capture the SRX Thursday Night Thunder season finale in front of 8,710 roaring fans and countless others watching on ESPN. Davenport, one of the world's premier Dirt Late Model drivers, won for the fifth time at Lucas Oil Speedway in 2023 adding to four Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series/Lucas Oil MLRA wins. The Blairsville, Georgia, native emerged from a thrilling battle with Clint Bowyer after a restart with 10 laps remaining that had the big crowd on its feet. Brad Keselowski rallied from 10th to finish second with Ken Schrader third and Ryan Newman, the 2023 Camping World SRX champion, taking fourth. "I'm speechless. This is awesome," said Davenport, a five-time World 100 winner and three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champion. "I was just out there pacing myself, trying to keep the edges on the tires and do dirt-guys stuff." 2 - Wild and Wacky Show-Me 100 to Moran: The 31st annual Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism had a little bit of everything as it was wild and crazy, rough and tumble and had post-race controversy. Devin Moran, second under the checkers, was declared the victor when apparent race-winner Ricky Thornton Jr. was penalized four positions in post-race inspection. "What the hell?" Moran asked in victory lane after claiming the $50,000 first prize. "This is like the best, worst win of my life. I just won the frickin' Show-Me 100 and $50,000, but Ricky was the best car in the field." Moran, 28 of Dresden, Ohio, claimed the win after he finished just under one second behind Thornton. But a few moments later, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series officials announced that Thornton's car was in violation of the "droop rule" regarding the height of the rear deck. Tim McCreadie wound up officially in second with Spencer Hughes third, defending champion Chris Ferguson fourth and Thornton eventually penalized to fifth place. Local favorite 19-year-old Dillon McCowan of Urbana was sixth. Thornton, of Martinsville, Ind., led the final 43 laps in a race that turned into survival of the fittest with 13 caution flags and a track that had plenty of character - especially over the final half of the event. Asked how long it was going to take for it to set in that he was a Show-Me 100 champion, Moran shook his head. "I have no idea," Moran said. "There might be an asterisk by it, but it's gonna pay 50 grand one way or the other, so we're gonna take it. And we're gonna drink some beer tonight." 3 - Cox's challenging season capped by Fall Brawl win: What had been a challenging season for Tucker Cox at Lucas Oil Speedway, including a massive crash that sidelined him for nearly two months, ended with his biggest triumph in the late-September Inaugural Fall Brawl. The Jefferson City driver, who broke his foot in a hard crash in mid-April, took control late in a wild State Tech Hermitage Lumber Late Model Fall Brawl to walk away with the $4,000 winner's check. The rare daytime event, moved up in anticipation of evening rain, turned out to be a memorable one with Cox scoring an emotional win in his new Capital Race Car. Cox was running fourth or fifth most of the race, but pounced when misfortune found frontrunners Justin Wells and Johnny Fennewald in a wild last 10 laps. Cox took the lead on lap 34, lost it to Tommy Cordray on lap 36 and regained it the next time around in the 40-lap main event. "I was just trying to be patient," Cox said. "I had to calm it down. I was getting a little too anxious there the first 15 or 20 laps. "I apologize to Cordray, for getting into him, but I wanted to win really bad. We were going for four grand, so rubbin's racin." 4 - Morton doubles up before fireworks at Thursday Night Thunder: Lucas Oil Speedway's annual Casey's Thursday Night Thunder to kick off 4th of July weekend was extra memorable for JC Morton as the Springfield driver had a career night. Moments after winning the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature, Morton captured his first Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature victory. While he's won countless times in his B-Mod over the years, the Late Model win was specia. He was driving the car for Moon Brothers Racing out of Sedalia. Morton held off veteran Justin Wells, the Lucas Oil Speedway runaway Late Model points leader, for the win. "We've been really close," Morton said of the Late Model. "We've had a bunch of seconds. I keep giving Justin a hard time to just let me win, but finally it all came together." 5 - Thornton scores MLRA Spring Nationals win: Showing signs of a year for the ages was ahead, Ricky Thornton Jr. got to the lead early and there was no stopping him as a star-studded field of drivers took part in Night 1 of the 10th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Spring Nationals Presented by Arizona Sport Shirts. Thornton earned $5,000 for his second career MLRA victory, dominating a field of 48 Late Models that checked into the pits for the opener of the weekend. Thornton went on to dominate the regular season on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and win 36 features overall. "We were really good there," Thornton said after the Spring Nationals victory, which attracted a large and deep field as national-touring series events scheduled for this weekend were rained out. "We practiced really good yesterday and I was super comfortable. It was a good night." 6 - Popular win for a USRA Modified veteran: A late-July Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series event was highlighted by a popular win for veteran Terry Kirk after his victory in the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature. "You bet, I did hear those," Kirk said of the cheers in victory lane. "I was surprised, but you know, I've been around forever. I've run a lot of races over there at Wheatland. I won a lot of races back before it was Lucas Oil and before it had a wall around it." Back in the days of Wheatland Raceway, Kirk raced there and all over the place and won his share of races. The last few years, he's slowed to a part-time schedule with more focus on helping his son, Colson Kirk, campaign a USRA B-mod. Kirk joked that he can't remember the last time he won a feature at Lucas Oil Speedway just saying it's been "a long, long time." The Urbana resident was in vintage form, leading all 20 years for the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified victory as he outdistanced season points leader Ryan Middaugh. 7 - Sanders breaks Ramirez's Show-Me Shootout dominance: One of the most-successful drivers in United States Modified Touring Series history put an end to Dereck Ramirez's domination at Lucas Oil Speedway. Rodney Sanders, of Happy, Texas, led all 50 laps to hold off Ramirez in 14th annual USMTS Summit Show-Me Shootout Presented by Foley Equipment. Ramirez had won the early August race the three previous seasons, but Sanders kept him from making it four in a row and took home the $10,000 payday. He also expanded his season points lead in a bid to make it five USMTS championships. "Dereck is super good here," Sanders said. "He's been really getting himself going lately and I knew he would be hard to beat." 8 - Fastest lap in speedway history, then a feature victory: Garet Williamson went from the fastest driver to ever record a qualifying lap at Lucas Oil Speedway to the 25-lap POWRi 410 Outlaw Bandit Sprint Series feature winner on Aug. 19. The Columbia, Mo., driver set a track record in qualifying with a lap of 12.998 seconds. The lap eclipsed the record of 13.019 by Jason Meyers in a World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series race at the speedway in 2010. That earned Williamson the pole and he went on to lead the main event wire-to-wire and take home $5,000. It was the first-ever POWRi 410 Sprint Series appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway and Williamson made it memorable. "This means everything to me. It feels really good to win this close to home," Williamson said. "This is pretty neat." 9 - Beck masters art of last-lap pass: Mason Beck of Urbana led only one lap, but it was the most important one. Beck overtook race-long-leader William Garner on the final circuit on June 24 to claim the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature. It was one of three last-lap passes Beck would pull off for wins during the season. Beck, who started eighth, battled his way through the field and into contention midway through the race. A four-way for second saw Beck emerge and begin his chase of Garner. Beck was on the leader's back bumper by lap 13 with Johnny Fennewald about five car lengths behind in third. Beck went to the high side coming to the white flag and pulled slightly ahead of Garner coming out of turn two. He then won a drag race coming off turn four to the checkers to score his third feature win of the season. "That was the most-exciting race I've ever been a part of," Beck said. "From fifth on - me, Waylon (Dimmitt), (James) McMillin, Fennewald - it was hard-fought and clean racing all the way to the checkered flag." 10 - What an opener as Stacye wins a thriller: In the Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series opener on March 25, Cayden Stacye of Fair Grove pulled off a last-lap pass of Bobby Williams of nearby Hermitage to pick up the feature victory in the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods. Stacye drove past Williams on the inside of the final turn of the final lap and held on by a car length for his first Lucas Oil Speedway feature win. "I wasn't sure if we were going to be able to get it done, with (Williams) on the pole there those last two laps," Stacye said. "I just knew that I had to get a good jump and we just kind of went from there. I just drove it hard and ended up on top." 11 - Young Timms rolls to Hockett-McMillin win: Youth was served as 17-year-old Ryan Timms led all but the first lap while capturing the 13th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial ASCS Winged Sprint feature during the prestigious open-wheel event delayed a night by mid-September rain. The Oklahoma City driver picked up $10,000 for the American Sprint Car Series victory after taking command on lap two and never looking back, holding off runner-up Jason Martin. In the POWRi WAR Sprint main event, 25-year-old Ricky Lewis of Camarillo, Calif., outdueled Xavier Doney in the late stages to earn the $4,077 first prize. 12 - Williams wins race within the race on championship night: There was drama at the front and drama further back in the field in the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod main event on Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night in late August. Kris Jackson picked up the victory with a last-lap pass, but Bobby Williams celebrated the championship with what was probably the best 10th-place run of his career. The Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod division was the only undecided class entering championship night and the race within the race for the points crown was just as fun as the battle for the race victory. Williams, of Hermitage, claimed championship No. 1 after not winning a feature all season. But he was a mark of consistency, with eight top-five finishes and 14 top-10s. He beat JC Morton by a mere five points in the title chase. "This season we've faced a lot of adversity at this track. It's been a love-hate relationship for us here," Williams said, adding that the championship was special for reasons other than himself. "I wanted this for my niece. She has heart surgery here in a few weeks, so we're glad to do that for her." Other season champions were Mason Beck (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars), Ryan Middaugh Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds) and Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber Late Models).

- Christopher Bell Putting Tyler Courtney Behind The Wheel At The Tulsa Shootout!
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (November 2, 2023) One of the biggest names in Motorsports will return to the Tulsa Expo Raceway in December for the 39th annual Tulsa Shootout, but with a different role. Making his return as a car owner, former Tulsa Shootout winner and three-time Chili Bowl Champion, Christopher Bell, will look to add another Golden Driller to his trophy case and possibly a first for Indiana's Tyler Courtney, who will be behind the wheel in Hyper Racing Outlaw Non-Wing and RS12 Motorsports Outlaw competition. "The Shootout is a very special race for me and one that helped make my name in the sport," stated Bell, who topped the Tulsa Shootout on Outlaw competition in 2018. "At this point in my life, I'm taking a step back from driving dirt cars, and I enjoy having a mix of young and proven talent behind the wheel of my Micros. Tyler [Courtney] and I have a long history together, going back to when we were teammates at the Shootout back in 2011 or 2012. I'm excited to try and get him his first driller." Close to achieving a Golden Driller in Tulsa Shootout competition, "Sunshine" placed third in the 2021 Outlaw A-Feature. A winner in the highest levels of Sprint Car racing, Tyler's talent behind the wheel is well established with USAC National Sprint Car (2018) and Midget titles (2019), a pair of All-Star Championships (2021 and 2022), Kings Royal Champion (2021), Dirt Cup Champion (2022), and a win atop Tulsa Expo Raceway clay in preliminary night competition (2017) just to name a few of his many accomplishments. Among the latest round of entrants into the annual "Mecca of Micros" the number of Golden Driller hopefuls is pushing the 800 mark, with drivers from 35 states on the card. Among the myriad of talent setting their sights on Tulsa is NASCAR's Kyle Busch and Late Model ace Ricky Thornton, Jr., along with former Golden Driller winners like Frank Flud, Blake Hahn, Mattix McBride, Cannon McIntosh, Jason McDougal, Joe B. Miller, and Jack Thomas. The complete list of entrants is updated as often as possible at https://www.myracepass.com/events/446181/entries. Teams can enter online 24/7 at https://www.myracepass.com/series/1531/registrations/8517. The entry blank has been mailed out, and can be returned to 1141 S. 83rd East Ave. Tulsa, OK 74112, or faxed to (918) 836-5517. Early entry is $100 per class and will run through November 29, 2023. Starting November 30, 2023, the cost per class will be $125, and will close on December 13, 2023. After that, teams will have to enter at the event during check-in on Monday, December 26, 2023 The 39th annual Tulsa Shootout dates are December 27-31, 2023. Teams will move in, draw, and purchase Pit Passes on Tuesday, December 26, 2023. Practice will occur on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, with the first rounds of Heats taking the green around 7:00 P.M. (CT). Racing will continue each day, starting at 9:00 A.M., with the race for the Golden Driller wrapping up on New Year's Eve. Happening about every ten years, the final day of racing will be on a Sunday. 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 39th running of the "Mecca of Micros" include RS-12 Motorsports Winged Outlaw, 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.

- TANGLE WITH INFIELD TIRE KNOCKS BRADEN CHIARAMONTE OUT OF KEITH KUNZ GIVEBACK CLASSIC IN OKLAHOMA
(El Cajon, CA, October 26, 2023) An unfortunate tangle with an infield tire at Oklahoma's Port City Raceway kept Braden Chiaramonte out of the 5th Annual Keith Kunz Giveback Classic finale. The 16-year-old driver came from the back of the pack to finish ninth in one of the Saturday night B mains. That was one spot shy of qualifying for the 67-lap final. Coming off a very impressive fourth-place finish the first time piloting a 410 sprint car at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway the week before, Chiaramonte was one of 105 600cc Outlaw Micro Sprints at the annual race in the "Sooner State." The personable driver competed against 49 other cars in the Thursday, October 19th preliminary. Coming out very late in the qualifying order, Chiaramonte stopped the clocks in 9.981. That was sixth fastest on the night and it was only a blink of an eye slower than the fast time of 9.825. After qualifying, Chiaramonte, who lives in El Cajon, California, finished fourth in his eight-lap heat race. That put him on the inside of the second row in his 10-lap qualifier. Battling on both the high and low sides of the racy track in the qualifier, he finished in fourth and earned a ticket into the night's 30-lap A Main event. Chiaramonte lined up in the 12th starting spot in the first-night main. The top three finishers would be guaranteed a spot in Saturday's finale. Through the first 20 laps of the main, the handsome driver and his #73B car were amidst a hornet's nest of cars fighting for position in the middle of the pack. When the race was two-thirds over, Chiaramonte had only advanced forward two positions to 10th. However, late in the race he began to move forward in a hurry. He quickly raced into the sixth-place spot. The determined teen was working on the fifth-place driver when the checkered flag ended the race with him three spots shy of the transfer. However, the finish guaranteed him a good starting spot in one of Saturday's B mains. The Saturday B main was 15 laps. Sixteen cars started the race and the top eight finishers went into the main event. Chiaramonte started on the inside of the third row in fifth. So, his chances of qualifying looked good. Before the end of the first lap in the B, Chiaramonte was up to third. He had been running the high line but when the second-place car drifted wide in turn four on lap two and pushed the third-place car wide as well, Chiaramonte wisely dove to the bottom coming off turn four and headed towards second-place. However, when the same car dove from the top to the bottom in turn one, it pinched Chiaramonte down and into an infield tire. Chiaramonte slid to a stop necessitating a yellow flag. Deemed the cause of the yellow he had to restart at the back. A red flag with nine laps to go still saw Chiaramonte in 16th but the show was about to begin. After racing resumed, he began to charge forward. A red flag with six laps remaining saw him up to 13th. He was 10th with three to go. Fearlessly pounding the cushion, Chiaramonte was clearly one of - if not the - fastest drivers on the track at that time. He attempted to pass the eighth-place car at the finish line but ended up a half car length short. In all probability, without the tangle with the infield tire and the restart at the back due to it, Chiaramonte would have easily qualified for the main event. "Not the weekend we wanted," Chiaramonte told his fans on Facebook. "Started out qualifying sixth after going out third from last. Finished fourth in the heat race and finished third in the qualifier. Started 12th in the main and finished sixth. Then started fourth in the B main on Saturday. Was running third and got chopped down, had no room, and hit the infield tire. Went back to last and came back up to 10th and had a big run on the guy in ninth. Thought he was going to go to the top but he went to the bottom which caused me to hit him and take him out. Overall it was a tough weekend but ready for the next one." Chiaramonte would like to thank all his sponsors who have made his racing efforts possible. RTL Traffic Control, AM Ortega, Hyper Racing, Chop Design, Adams Motors, Hacienda Casa Blanca Fine Mexican Dining, Evil Plus Injection, King Racing Products, Tiner-Hirst Enterprises, and Keizer Wheels. Chiaramonte and his team are in the midst of a busy racing season.

Starting November 30, 2023, the cost per class will be $125, and will close on December 13, 2023. After that, teams will have to enter at the event during check-in on Monday, December 26, 2023 The 39th annual Tulsa Shootout dates are December 27-31, 2023. Teams will move in, draw, and purchase Pit Passes on Tuesday, December 26, 2023. Practice will occur on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, with the first rounds of Heats taking the green around 7:00 P.M. (CT). Racing will continue each day, starting at 9:00 A.M., with the race for the Golden Driller wrapping up on New Year's Eve. Happening about every ten years, the final day of racing will be on a Sunday. 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 39th running of the "Mecca of Micros" include RS-12 Motorsports Winged Outlaw, 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 Junior Sprints.

- McCowan eager to celebrate top rookie honors in MLRA Season Finale on home track of Wheatland
WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 25, 2023) - It seems fitting for Dillon McCowan that the Lucas Oil MLRA's final race of the season, following a schedule adjustment, will be at his home track of Lucas Oil Speedway. McCowan has clinched Sunoco Lucas Oil MLRA Rookie of the Year honors after a stellar first full season in an open Late Model. He's third overall in points, behind Chad Simpson and Chris Simpson and set to receive recognition as top rookie at Saturday's scheduled MLRA Season Finale. Lucas Oil Speedway and the MLRA added the $10,000-to-win event after the MLRA Season Championship weekend was rained out earlier this month at Tri-City Speedway. "When I saw that, I was pretty happy," the 19-year-old McCowan, of nearby Urbana said of the added race at Wheatland. "We've been kind of trying to figure where we're gonna try to race at the end of the year and when they said that race was gonna be at Lucas, I was happy to get back over there in front of all the fans and my family can come over there. "To get to crawl up on the stage, if we can win this rookie deal, that can be really cool for us." McCowan has some momentum on his side coming into the one-day show after picking up his first career Late Model touring series feature win. That came last weekend on the Comp Cams Series at Super Bee Speedway in Chatham, Louisiana. "That was definitely a fun race. There was some stiff competition down with Tyler Stevens, Billy Moyer and Billy Moyer Jr., and quite a few other good drivers and teams," McCowan said. "We started back in sixth and were able to rally to the front and just maintained once we got into the lead and hold on for 40 laps. "That track is super fun. We had only raced there once before and that was in a Modified. I was excited to get back down there and give it a run." McCowan said the first touring-series win checked off a goal he hoped to accomplish before the conclusion of the season. "It didn't really matter what series it was with," he said. "To do it with Comp Cams and beat the guys that were there, and to achieve one of my goals, it was definitely a big accomplishment for me and my team. We were pretty stoked about it." This weekend, he will realize another goal with the top rookie honors on the MLRA circuit. He called his first full Late Model season everything he expected, and then some, with a sixth-place run in the Show-Me 100 back in May as one of the top moments of his career. "I wouldn't trade it for the world. It's what I've always wanted to do and what I've dreamed off since I was a little kid," he said of driving the Late Model against top competition. "I've definitely learned a lot from the guys I've raced with. It's been a big learning experience for me and hopefully we can take this momentum into next year." Plans for 2024 are not finalized. He said following the Lucas Oil MLRA is an option, along with hitting select races on different series including the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. But for now, the focus is on completing the current season on a high note - and hoping Mother Nature cooperates and Saturday's race is able to go on. Chad Simpson and Chris Simpson will enter the Wheatland race as the top two drivers in the series standings with Chad leading his brother by 270 points. McCowan is in third with Daniel Hilsabeck and Trevor Gundaker fourth and fifth with Justin Duty, Jeff Herzog, Garrett Alberson, Tyler Stevens and Dustin Hodges rounding out the top 10. POWRi Super Stocks and USRA Modifieds also are on the schedule for Saturday and another sponsor has stepped up to support the Super Stock class.

- Schlenk charges from last to win Bill Hahn Memorial at Fremont; Dippman gets last lap pass to take truck/stock showdown
FREMONT, Ohio - On the opening lap of the Bill Hahn Memorial late model race Tuesday, Oct. 24 at Fremont Speedway, Rusty Schlenk was involved in tangle and had to go to the work area to replace a tire. The McClure, Ohio driver - a three time national UMP champion - methodically worked his way from the back, took the lead on lap 19 and held off Ryan Missler for his third career Fremont Speedway victory. It was the 16th overall win in 2023 for Schlenk and worth $2027. "This win goes to my crew. They got the tire changed and got me back out there. I love racing at Fremont and I hope we get more opportunities to be back here in 2024. On that last caution (with three laps to go) I looked at the tire tracks and saw someone was ripping up top and I knew it had to be Missler (Ryan). I moved up there and it paid off," said Schlenk beside his Velocita Fire suits, Buckeye Concrete Coatings, Terry Henricks Chrysler, Tom Finch Auto, VP Fuel, Dominator Race Products, Forbes Construction, All Star Performance, Mullins Engines, Willy's Carbs backed No. 91. Ryan Missler, Rob Anderzack, BJ Gregory and Ryan Markham rounded out the top five. Anderzack lead laps 1-18 with Schlenk leading 19-27. In the Art Ball Showdown pitting the stock cars against the Fremont Speedway Dirt Trucks, the early portions of the race were a free-for-all with Shawn Valenti leading the opening lap before Kyle Moore took over to lead laps two and three before getting sideways in front of the field seven competitors. Keith Sorg then inherited the lead and with Jamie Miller driving into the top spot on lap 10. Miller, who had three truck wins and three 305 sprint wins at "The Track That Action Built" in 2023, looked like he would get career win #45 but a caution on the last lap set up a one-lap shoot out. Oregon, Ohio's Craig Dippman was able to wedge his way under Miller on the restart and held on for his first career Fremont Speedway win. The stock driver also clinched the Art Ball Cup for his win and his finish earlier at Oakshade Raceway. Miller, Sorg, Kolin Schlit and Moore rounded out the top five. "The track was very technical tonight. He (Miller) gave me just enough room to get under him and we were able to hold on. This was a very cool deal and thanks to the tracks, Cory McCaughey and everyone who put this deal together. The stocks and trucks are very even," said Dippman beside his Martin Dynamics Shocks, Dave Dickens Motors, Dippman Motorsports backed No. 99. In a pair of Australian Pursuits run in memory of Lin Potter, Ryan Missler and BJ Gregory cashed the over $800 checks. In the "Call Out" match race, Kolin Schlit took the prize and in the "Buy Back" feature, Scott Hammer collected the money. Prior to the night's races - which was the conclusion of the event that began Oct. 6 but the feature events were postponed due to rain - Fremont Speedway Hall of Famer Art Ball, who passed away last week, was able to take one more lap around the track which was lined with fans and race teams.

- CROWNING A CHAMPION: $10K MLRA SEASON FINALE SET FOR LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY
Wheatland, Missouri (October 24th, 2023) - The Lucas Oil MLRA will give it one more go at a season finale this coming Saturday, October 28th, when the series rolls into the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO for the 9th time in 2023. The impromptu season finale comes about after the 4th Annual MLRA Championship Weekend was washed out two weeks ago at the Tri-City Speedway. The 2023 campaign will come down to a one night stand at the "Diamond of Dirt Tracks", with a $10,000 to win and $700 to start season Finale headlining the nights action. "Mother Nature has had the upper hand in 2023 with eight total rainouts on our schedule, commented MLRA Series Director Ernie Leftwich. "When we were not able to schedule a return to Tri-City due to scheduling conflicts, we knew coming to Wheatland was our next best option for crowning our series Champion and Sunoco Rookie of the Year on the track. If anyone has the facility to get this show in, it's Danny Lorton and his staff at Lucas. We can't thank them enough for extending their season and putting this event together for the racers and fans alike." Joining the Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) will be the USRA Modifieds and POWRi Super Stocks. Each will pay $2,000 to win and follow the same MLRA time trial qualifying format. CHAMPIONSHIP PICTURE- Chad Simpson enters the finale poised to wrap up his 4th career Lucas Oil MLRA title. The Mount Vernon, Iowa driver holds a 270 point advantage over younger brother Chris Simpson. Chad Simpson will become the first driver to go back-to-back with the MLRA since 2011 - 2012, when John Anderson last completed the feat. Thus far, in non co-sanctioned MLRA events Chad Simpson has just one finish outside the top 10, that being an 11th place run back in April at the 34 Raceway. His series leading 3 wins also comes with an impressive avg finish of 3.67. This will mark the 3rd time that the driver of the Deuce Nickel has wrapped up the title at the Lucas Oil Speedway. He polished off his 2018 title in style, by winning the season finale and will try to do so again this weekend. A feature win would send him back to the Hawkeye state with $30,000 in his pocket, with the series champion receiving $20,000. Brother Chris Simpson holds a comfortable, but not fully secured, 100 point advantage for the series runner-up position over Dillon McCowan. Chris will be seeking his highest finish ever in the season long MLRA standings and is also set to collect a $10,000 payday from the MLRA point fund if he can maintain the advantage over McCowan. Chris Simpson has 16 MLRA wins to his credit dating back to 2009, and will be looking to get the monkey off his back and score his first MLRA win in Wheatland in the finale. Daniel Hilsabeck and Trevor Gundaker round out the top five. Representing six through ten are Justin Duty, Jeff Herzog, Garrett Alberson, Tyler Stevens, and series rookie Dustin Hodges. SUNOCO ROOKE OF THE YEAR- McCowan has all but wrapped up the series coveted Sunoco Race Fuel Rookie of the Year award for 2023, fending off a host of drivers in one of the strongest rookie classes in a number of years. The 19 year old from Urbana, MO has three top fives in MLRA action, two of those being third place podium runs coming in just the last 3 MLRA races of the season. McCowan will be back in familiar territory this weekend as he looks to wrap up the rookie crown, but more importantly he will be looking to score his first career MLRA victory. McCowan scored a $5,000 victory this past Friday at the Super Bee Speedway in Chatham, LA. TURN-FOUR NOTES- Finale In Wheatland: Saturday will mark the 7th time in the MLRA's storied 35 year history, and first since 2019, that the season finale takes place at the Lucas Oil Speedway. Chad Simpson is the only driver to date to have won both the season finale and Championship in Wheatland on the same night. Series officials have already announced that the 2024 MLRA Championship weekend will return to the Tri-City Speedway. One-Two Punch: The brotherly due of Chad and Chris Simpson have put up some remarkable stats in 2023. Most impressively may be the fact that the Iowa boys have went 1-2 on four different occasions. Wins for Chad at Davenport, Lake Ozark and Lucas Oil Speedway, with Chris grabbing a "W" in the family affair at Lake Ozark as well. The most recent top two sweep came at Lucas on the final night of the Ron Jenkins Memorial back on September 2nd Elite Company: A 4th MLRA Championship for Chad Simpson would put him in an elite club of drivers to have won four or more titles. He would join the series winningest driver Terry Phillips with a fourth championship, and trail only Alan Vaughn (5 championships), and Al Purkey (7 championships) in the records books. Contingency Awards Up For Grabs: Not only will Championship point funds be up for grabs, but a pair of season long contingency awards are still undecided heading into the weekend. A pair of series regulars are knotted up atop the "MD3 Hard Charger" standings in Justin Duty and Jeff Herzog. MD3 will present an overall hard charger worth $500 at the conclusion of the season. In addition, the MyRacePass "Overall Fast Time Award" it yet to be decided. Chad Simpson is the highest ranking MLRA member driver with two Fast Time Awards, while a number of other drivers are within striking distance with one each. Purkey To Hall of Fame-- It was announced this past weekend that 7 x MLRA series Champion Al Purkey of Coffeyville, KS will be inducted next summer into the National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame as part of the 2024 class. MLRA would like to congratulate Al on this well deserved accomplishment.

- EDDIE TAFOYA IS FAST AGAIN BUT BAD LUCK TAKES AWAY A POTENTIAL WIN
(Chino, CA, October 21, 2023) The first two races Eddie Tafoya Jr. contested on his return to California have shown that the veteran driver has been more than fast enough to win the mains. However, Lady Luck has not been on his side and each time she knocked him from the fray before the race was over. Tafoya's latest western racing excursion took place about three and a half hours away from his Chino Hills, California home at the Mojave Valley Raceway. Last year the friendly driver made two trips to the Arizona speed plant that is located minutes from the Colorado River. His first venture to the track produced a third-place finish in March of 2022. Five and a half months later, he recorded another top-10 finish when he crossed under the checkered flags in eighth place. Earlier this year, he qualified third fastest in the 30-car field, won his heat race, and started fifth in the 30-lap main on the 1/3 mile clay oval. He was running in the top five before stopping and having to restart at the back. In the remaining 25-laps, he passed more cars than any other driver and finished 12th. His latest sojourn to the Arizona track had the same feel to it until the main event. "It was good until it wasn't," Tafoya lamented on last week's Dirt Tracks and Rib Racks podcast. "It went kind of like at Perris the race before. We qualified all right, in 10th. Had to start third in our heat and we won it. It definitely felt good for whatever reason. I just kind of jell with that track. The size and shape kind of suits my style." From early on in the latest Mohave main, Tafoya was on his game. He steered the handsome #51T forward toward the front and was a major factor in the race. In fact, he seemed to be the fastest car on the track early on. "In the main event I got to second, technically," Tafoya explained on the Indiana-based podcast. "By lap 10 we had three cautions and restarts. I had to pass Yeley three times (he passed him three times for second but each time a yellow came out within a lap and they went back to the last completed lap). I was third after a red and my motor started lying down. It eventually got pretty bad so I popped the thing out of gear and pulled into the pits." Unfortunately, his early departure turned a potential main-event victory into a 13th-place finish. Next up for Tafoya will be the annual Western World Championships at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway. Following that race he will contest the USAC/CRA season closer on November 11th at the Perris Auto Speedway.

- Lucas Oil MLRA Season Finale, plus added money for Super Stocks, Modifieds coming up Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 23, 2023) - Since Lucas Oil Speedway added a big finish to its season headlined by the Lucas Oil MLRA, extra money has been added to support divisions for this Saturday night's program. The MLRA Season Finale for the Late Models has $10,000 awaiting the winner and $700 to start the main event. The Season Finale was added to the schedule after the series' Championship Weekend was rained out at Tri-City Speedway. Added money also will be awarded in the support classes. Hickamo Country Store owner Chip Shaddox is helping sponsor the USRA Modified class and it will now race for $2,000 to win and $100 has been added to finishers two through 11. The Modified payout now will be: 1st - $2,000. 2nd - $900. 3rd - $800. 4th - $700. 5th - $550. 6th - $400. 7th - $350. 8th - $300. 9th - $275. 10th - $250. 11th - $230. 12th - $120. 13th - $110. 14th-through-24th - $100. Meanwhile, it was previously announced that Whitetail Trophy Hunt will sponsor the POWRi Super Stocks portion and the feature winner will earn $2,000, courtesy of Craig Danuser with Whitetail Trophy Hunt. Nitro Nick Motorsports also has added money to Super Stock positions 18th, 20th, 22nd and 24th. The Super Stock payout will be: 1st - $2,000. 2nd - $800. 3rd - $700. 4th - $600. 5th - $450. 6th - $300. 7th - $250. 8th - $200. 9th - $175. 10th - $150. 11th - $130. 12th - $120. 13th - $110. 14th-17th- $100. 18th - $150. 19th - $100. 20th - $150. 21st - $100. 22nd - $150. 23rd - $100. 24th - $150. Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton also has announced that David Hendrix, owner of Hendrix Construction, will sponsor the fast time qualifier for the Super Stocks. The driver to set fast time in qualifying will receive $500 for Fast Time Qualifier thanks to Hendrix Construction. "We appreciate everyone who has stepped up to add to the prize fund for the Super Stocks and Modifieds," Lorton said. "This is shaping up to be a great way to conclude the season, with great fields in each of our divisions." Both support classes will use time trials for heat-race starting positions just like the MLRA Late Models will do. With previously scheduled events already filling up the October calendar at Tri-City, officials concluded that a make-up weekend at the home of the MLRA Championship would not be possible. So the MLRA finale now becomes a one-day event with the season champion crowned. It also will mark the final opportunity of 2023 for drivers to accumulate MLRA points toward the series championship, Sunoco Rookie of the Year, as well as the season-long contingency awards, some of which are still up for grabs. Chad Simpson and Chris Simpson will enter the Wheatland race as the top two drivers in the series standings with Chad leading his brother by 270 points. Sunoco Rookie of the Year candidate Dillon McCowan is in third. Daniel Hilsabeck and Trevor Gundaker are fourth and fifth with Justin Duty, Jeff Herzog, Garrett Alberson, Tyler Stevens and Dustin Hodges rounding out the top 10. Pit gates will open at 3 p.m. with grandstands at 4, hot laps at 5:30 and racing at 6:05.

- Sheppard Wins Fifth DTWC; O'Neal Secures First Career Lucas Oil Title
NEW WESTON, Ohio (October 22, 2023) - Brandon Sheppard won his record-tying fifth General Tire Dirt Track World Championship - Presented by ARP on Sunday night at Eldora Speedway. Sheppard tied with Freddy Smith for the most wins in the 43-year history of the race as the Illinois racer earned $100,000 for his victory. Sheppard who had just enough fuel to coast across the finish line barely edged out Hudson O'Neal for the win in a race that saw a record eight lead changes. The previous high for lead changes was the inaugural Dirt Track World Championship in 1981 where five different drivers led the race. O'Neal with his runner-up finish claimed his first career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Seres National Championship which will earn him and his car owner Mark Richards a dirt late model record $200,000. O'Neal finished 0.084 seconds behind Sheppard at the finish. Devin Moran battled with O'Neal for several laps as the two went back and forth to decide the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series title. Moran came home in third in the final race rundown which clinched second place in the championship points. Tim McCreadie clinched fifth in the championship points by placing fourth in the Dirt Track World Championship. Dale McDowell rounded out the top five drivers in the 100-lap race. Jonathan Davenport jumped to the lead at the start and would lead the first six laps of the race. It was a close battle up front with Davenport and Mike Marlar, who led lap seven. O'Neal, who in his last appearance at Eldora won the World 100 in September, came from the sixth position to grab the lead on the eighth circuit. The car on the move was West Virginia's Tyler Carpenter, who roared from his 17th starting spot to pass O'Neal for the race lead on lap 24. Carpenter was in front until lap 32 when Brian Shirley would become the fifth different driver to lead the race. However, Shirley's lead was short lived as mechanical issues sent him pit side under caution ending his night. Carpenter, who was third at the time, also pitted during this time. McCreadie would pick up the lead for four laps before Bobby Pierce took command after being involved in an early race caution that also involved Ricky Thornton Jr. who suffered severe right front suspension damage which forced to pit side, loosing several laps in the process. Pierce would stay in front until lap 60 when Sheppard became the eighth and final leader of the race. A caution with 97 laps complete would show Sheppard in front with McCreadie holding down the second spot. On the final restart Sheppard would hold the lead, but his car started to show signs he was low on fuel. O'Neal and Moran were able to close on the final lap, but Sheppard was able to eke out the win. Sheppard, who led the final 40 laps for his 31st career win with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series was relieved to make it to the finish line. "I was able to make it to the line, Hudson almost got me there. That was a pretty crazy end to the night. When I crossed the line for the white flag I ran out of gas. I had just enough gas to make it to the line, every time I have driven this car it has been good all year. It was phenomenal. The first couple of laps I don't know what happened. I think we knocked the brake line loose on the left rear or something. I came in and the guys got it tightened up. I didn't have time to get the brakes bled. I went back out and the caution came back out, luckily really quick, and we were able to come in get it bled out. It was perfect after that." "I went pretty hard there at the beginning just to get some distance just in case the leaders would come around and I would get lapped," Sheppard added. "There about halfway I was running around the middle to the bottom, and I really felt pretty good there. Also, about midway through the race I found a line that worked pretty good for me through the middle in one and two. Once I saw some of those drivers dropping out, and we were picking a few of them off, I thought I was finally trying to wake up." O'Neal came up just short of his first Dirt Track World Championship victory, but secured his first Lucas Oil title. "This is unbelievable. It was a war of attrition. I had two flat tires, led at one point, was a lap down at one point, so I had every emotion I could think of that happened during that race. What a race it came down to with me and Devin. It was kind of rough and tumble out there, but the way it came out it made a great race for the championship and it about made it a great race for the win. I think somebody [Sheppard] ran out of fuel coming to the checkered or something. Hats off to my whole team and family. This sport will drive you crazy sometimes, it helps to have a good backdrop of people to rely on." O'Neal joins his father, Don who won the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series title in 2014. "I can't believe it turned out the way it did. Hats off to the Eldora track crew. They worked their tails off all weekend no matter what the racetrack was they couldn't help it; they did the best they could. It rained for three days straight they did a great job." Moran, earning his best career finish in the Dirt Track World Championship and in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series championship points, went back and forth with O'Neal in the final laps. "It was a great comeback year. We got off to a good start in Speedweeks and then we really struggled in the first month or two after that. That was about as exciting there at the end as it could get. I think everyone is going to talk about this for a very long time. Thanks to the whole Lucas Oil family for a great series to race with." The winner's Sheppard-Riggs Racing, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Valvoline, True Timber Camo, Dennis G. Woodworth Attorney at Law, Wyld Gear, Riggs Drilling Solutions, Sheppard Auto Sales and Salvage, D&E Marine, Sunoco Race Fuels, and Bilstein Shocks. Completing the top ten were Bobby Pierce, Jimmy Owens, Ricky Thornton Jr., Garrett Smith, and Jonathan Davenport.

- NARC 410 SPRINT CARS INVADE KERN COUNTY RACEWAY PARK FOR HALLOWEEN "SPOOK-TACULAR"
(10/23/23 Ben Deatherage) Bakersfield, California ... The 900+ horsepower winged 410's of the NARC Sprint Car Series, presented by NAPA Auto Parts, will be making their lone 2023 appearance at The Dirt Track at Kern County Raceway Park on Saturday, October 28th for the highly-anticipated Halloween Spook-tacular. This will be your only chance to see the cars and stars of the NARC tour kick the clay up at the action-packed 1/3-mile clay oval. "Kern County is such a nice facility and a fast little place," says Justyn Cox, driver of the Bates-Hamilton Racing #42X entry, "I remember last year it was a little heavy but slick in some spots, but you could pass cars so nothing wrong with that." Despite traveling to KCRP in 2017 for the first time, there have been some pretty good races over the years when the NARC 410 Sprint Cars have come to town. Fremont's Shane Golobic has notched up an incredible win tally with three trips to victory lane, including last year. Companion divisions for the evening include the W.R.A. Vintage Cars and Southern California Dwarf Cars. Children wearing Halloween costumes (accompanied by a parent) will be admitted at no charge. In addition, there will be hayrides through the pit area and a special trick-or-treat session during opening ceremonies at 6:00 p.m. The weather is predicted to be in the high 70s for the day and low 50s at night, which makes for a perfect fall Saturday to enjoy racing, and with the track conveniently located right next to Interstate 5, there's no reason you should make the trip with all your family, friends, and acquaintances! Who to Watch Current NARC 410 Sprint Car Series point leader Corey Day is looking to nab his first career KCRP triumph and will be among the favorites to watch. The Clovis sensation carries a 28-point advantage in the points table, piloting the Meyers Racing #14 entry with just two races left. Justin Sanders, from Aromas, is the man who trails Day in the current standings. Sanders, aboard the Mittry Motorsports #2x machine, won his lone victory at the facility in October of 2021. He enters the race as the driver who won the last NARC points-paying portion of the Morrie Williams Memorial and overall champion of that event a few weeks ago in Hanford. Dominic Scelzi has managed to collect two wins at Kern County. The two-time defending series champion from Fresno swept the pair of visits the tour made in 2019 and is anticipating a third trophy to the case. Cox has a lone start at KCRP, and that came last year when he was called up by the BHR that October. It was an eighth-place finish, and no doubt the Roseville racer is looking to build off that statistic. Campbell pilot Bud Kaeding will be back in the familiar all-black BK Racing #69. The 2017 NARC champion has an incredible record at Kern, with no finishes outside the Top 10 and a second-place effort in 2019. Chase Johnson may not have won a NARC show at Kern County, but he's got the most victories of the drivers above. The Penngrove, CA driver has five total wins at the track, including three with the USAC-West Coast 360 series and two with the Bay Cities Racing Association Midgets. His most recent win at KCRP was on October 7th of this year. Other NARC 410 Sprint Car Series regulars to expect are Dylan Bloomfield from Oakley, Benicia traveler Billy Aton, and Tucson, Arizona native and rookie of the year candidate Nick Parker. Other Central Valley drivers to look out for are Lemoore's Cole Macedo, Hanford natives Gauge Garcia and 2019 NARC title winner D.J. Netto, Easton teenager Caeden Steele, and many more. Some national caliber talent planning to attend are two-time defending USAC-National Midget champion Michael "Buddy" Kofoid from Penngrove and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma's Ryan Timms.

- INLAND RIGGING DRIVERS BRODY ROA AND TOM DUNKEL RACE SO CAL NON-WING SHOW AT IMPERIAL THIS WEEKEND
(Cypress, CA, October 20, 2023) For the first time in over three months, sprint car competitors in California will face double trouble tonight and Saturday when both Inland Rigging drivers, Brody Roa and Tommy Dunkel, will be in action at the Imperial Valley Raceway. Friday's program will include a $1000.00 to win fast car dash. On Saturday, the drivers will be vying for the $4000.00 first-place prize in the main event. Saturday will be the first time the Inland Rigging duo has competed together since July 15th at Perris Auto Speedway. On that night, their gleaming white cars placed first and eighth in the 30-lap main event. Roa scored that win which was his third in a row. For Dunkel, who plans on contesting for the 2024 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year award, the eighth-place finish was his best in the series to date. This weekend's races will be the first at Imperial for the Inland Rigging boys since an appearance on March 11th. Issues that night knocked both of them out of the race early with Dunkel placing 16th and teammate Roa one position behind. Roa was in action last Saturday night when the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series made its final 2023 appearance at the Mohave Valley Raceway. The season-long leader in the series championship standings entered the fray with a 142-point lead over his closest pursuer. He pushed his #17R to the second-fastest time in qualifying with a lap of 14.480. Known as the "Pride of Garden Grove," Roa started sixth and finished fifth in a hard fought heat race. That meant he had to go to the 15-car, 12-lap B main event and finish in the top 10 to transfer to the A. That proved to be no problem for the friendly driver as he posted the victory. That meant he would start eighth in the 30-lapper. Had he not finished in the top 10 in the B, he could have used a provisional and would have started 23rd. Roa got off to a good start in the main and moved up a couple of spots on lap two. However, in a main that was plagued by chaos, he had to go wide in turn four and got up over the top of the track. Fortunately, that track has a wide run-off area on the top. Roa was able to recover without slamming into a wall but he did lose three spots due to the off-road sojourn over the top. Simultaneously, a couple of other cars tangled bringing out a yellow flag. Once the race went green again, Roa got his elbows up. While attempting to move into fifth, contact with the driver he was trying to pass saw them both slide to a stop in turn three. The track crew quickly got Roa's #17R to the work area where crew chief Zac Bozanich and the boys quickly changed a flat left rear tire and sent him back into the battle. As per the rules, the veteran driver had to restart at the back of the pack. The good part of that story is the race still had 20 laps to go. The bad part of the story was chaos was prevalent in the early portion of the race. Roa was going to have to be on his A-game to avoid several of the combatants if he wanted to move forward. A red flew soon after the race restarted due to more bedlam. That gave Roa and the other drivers a chance to catch their breath and allowed the crews to make adjustments to the cars. As would be predictable, Bozanich and the team worked some magic for Roa who was restarting ninth. The race finally put some consecutive laps together after the restart and wily veteran Roa cleverly drove his way forward. In fact, he was all the way back to fourth, but late in the race on the slick track, he slipped off the top in turn three and lost three spots. Roa got back and moved up to sixth and that is where he was at when the race ended. Amazingly, the finish was only the second time in 15 USAC/CRA series races this season that Roa finished out of the top five and only the third time he has finished out of the top two. Between last Saturday's race and tonight's opener at Imperial, the team put the finishing touches on a brand new, gorgeous #17R that Roa is debuting this weekend. In addition to racing at Imperial Valley, Inland Rigging is presenting the first 100 children through the gates with a free Halloween trick-or-treat bag on Saturday. The Imperial Valley Raceway is located on the Imperial Valley fairgrounds at 200 East 2nd Street in Imperial, California. The ticket prices for this weekend's races are a throwback to the 1970s. Adult tickets are $5.00 on Friday and $10.00 on Saturday. Everyone 16 and under will get in free each night. Fans can pick up a 2023 Inland Rigging Racing Team shirt from the crew after the races or online brodyroa.com. As always, Brody Roa would be more than happy to jump in a race car on his weekends off from the #17R. His entire schedule is printed below.

- BRADEN CHIARAMONTE MADE AN INCREDIBLE 410 SPRINT CAR DEBUT LAST WEEK - THIS WEEK IT IS OKLAHOMA FOR KEITH KUNZ GIVEBACK CLASSIC
(El Cajon, CA, October 18, 2023) When it comes to dirt track racing, 410 non-wing sprint cars strike fear into the hearts of many. They are extremely ferocious and very hard to learn how to drive. Apparently, nobody advised 16-year-old rising star Braden Chiaramonte of those facts. Last Saturday night at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway, the young driver made his 410 debut, looked like a veteran, and quickly became the crowd favorite. The trip marked Chiaramonte's third time at the Arizona track. Two and a half years ago, the then 13-year-old placed fourth and fifth in a pair of POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series races there. Earlier this year, he appeared at the track in a non-wing 360 sprint car for a USAC/CRA 410 race but engine problems knocked him out before the main event. Competing in one of the toughest non-wing series in the nation, USAC/CRA, no one could have predicted what the affable driver achieved on his first night in a 410. Being the fastest of the 27 cars on hand in hot laps drew some attention. Of course, it was not a big deal because it was only hot laps. However, minutes later in qualifying, he hit the attention button of those on hand with a sledgehammer. He turned in a lap of 14.497. That was the third fastest time of the night! Suddenly he had everyone's full attention. Being the third fastest qualifier meant that Chiaramonte would start sixth in his heat race. He had to finish fourth or better to go straight to the main event. He missed that position by two spots, finishing sixth. Without having a provisional at his disposal, the teen had to go to the 15-car B main where he would have to finish 10th or better to get into the A main event. He easily accomplished that by placing fourth and booking his ticket into the A main. Unfortunately, missing the transfer in his heat meant that Chiaramonte would have to start the 30-lap A main in ninth. Of course, that made things much more exciting for the fans as he had some fast, wily veterans starting in front of him. What happened in the main was not only shocking, but it was magical. Starting ninth, he raced his way all the way up to fifth by the end of the second circuit. A yellow about 1/3 of the way through the race, saw him in sixth. At one point, Chiaramonte slipped as far back as ninth. However, in the second half of the race, he went to the outside and put on a show. Running seventh, he rim rode around two cars coming off turn four and was suddenly up to fifth. Two laps later he blew by two more cars and was up to third, but with time running out, he was a long way behind the second-place car. Dramatically, he chopped down the second-place car's advantage and flew past him as well. It was clear to everyone in the crowd that at that point, he was the fastest driver on the track. The question was, could he chase down and pass the leader? The driver of the car in front won a Midwest championship this year and more main events than any other non-wing 410 driver in the nation. By the end of lap 19 with the large crowd cheering him on, Chiaramonte had chopped the leader's advantage down. They were side by side coming off turn four. As they sped by the starters stand, Chiaramonte inched ahead going into the corner. The leader changed lines and slid up to the top where Chiaramonte was running. With a big drive off turn two, Chiaramonte used his patented cut-back move from micros and was pulling alongside the leader. Simultaneously the yellow flag came out relegating the teen back to second. Once again, Chiaramonte was the pursuer. The leader wisely stayed on the top and kept his young foe at bay. Chiaramonte remained second until he got over the cushion coming off turn four with six laps to go. He quickly recovered but was back to third. A slip on the back chute on the last lap momentarily slowed his progress. He got right back on the throttle, but the loss of momentum saw him edged for third place in a photo finish. Less than 48 hours after his thrilling exploits in the "Grand Canyon State," Chiaramonte and his team were on the road to Tulsa, Oklahoma's Port City Raceway and the 5th Annual Keith Kunz Giveback Classic. The race takes place this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, October 19th, 20th and 21st. The preliminaries will be on Thursday and Friday. The finale will take place on Saturday. Chiaramonte, who will be driving the family-owned #73B in the Non Wing Outlaw class, will contest his preliminary on Thursday. Last year, 117 cars showed up at Tulsa. Chiaramonte, who was 15 at the time, placed eighth in the Friday A main and 15th in the Saturday final. All three nights of this year's Keith Kunz Giveback Classic will be available on Flo Racing.

RTL Traffic Control, AM Ortega, Hyper Racing, Chop Design, Adams Motors, Hacienda Casa Blanca Fine Mexican Dining, Evil Plus Injection, King Racing Products, Tiner-Hirst Enterprises, and Keizer Wheels.

- Timm takes command late for Modified win at Summit USRA Nationals as Franklin, Cain, Hovden, Martin also prevail
WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 7, 2023) - Patience and persistence paid off Saturday night for Jake Timm at the 10th annual Summit USRA Nationals. Timm of Winona, Minn., took command with 10 laps remaining and went on to claim the USRA Modified feature at Lucas Oil Speedway. Other USRA Nationals winners on the final of five nights of racing were Mitchell Franklin (B-Mods), Josh Cain (Stock Cars), Chris Hovden (Hobby Stocks) and Randy Martin (Tuners). Timm, who started eighth, stalked Brandon Davis from the second position for 12 laps before making the winning pass on lap 40 of the 50-lap main event. He pulled away from there, sticking tight to the low groove, to capture the $4,000 victory. Timm, a 26-year-old avid fan of the Minnesota Vikings, said staying calm and deliberate was a key from the drop of the green. "I really had to be patient there at the beginning of the race," Timm said. "I didn't really feel like we were all that great, to be honest. I kind of started slowing down more and more to stay on the bottom. I went slower to go faster, I guess. "Fortunately we had a few yellows there and that helped us out. But thanks to everybody that makes this possible for me." Timm was the fourth and final leader of the 50-lapper, which concluded the marathon week of racing that saw in excess of 240 cars in five divisions. Kevin Stoa took the lead on lap two after Tyler Davis paced the opening lap. Davis reclaimed the top spot on lap seven as Stoa slipped to third behind Brandon Davis. Brandon Davis captured the lead on the lap nine restart. He soon had a 1.6-second lead by lap 15 over Tyler Davis with Brandon Givens third and Terry Phillips moving into fourth and Timm fifth. As the race reached lap 30, Brandon Davis continued to hold the lead over Timm with Tyler Davis and Phillips following. Caution came out on lap 31 with Davis' margin at 1.3 seconds over Timm, who started eighth. On the restart, Phillips was caught up in a multi-car incident in turn two and damage to his car ended his chances. Timm dropped to the low groove on the next restart, pulling alongside Brandon Davis on the back stretch but was unable to make the pass. Those two opened a four-second gap over third-place Tyler Davis by lap 40 and that's when Timm's persistence finally paid off. Timm edged into the lead coming out of turn four and he gradually pulled away from there. He kept hugging the extreme low line and went on to win by 2.8 seconds over Brandon Davis. Gabe Hodges finished third with Tyler Davis fourth and and Rodney Sanders fifth. USRA B-Mod feature goes to Franklin: Mitchell Franklin of Camdenton was elevated to the USRA B-Mod feature victory when JC Morton, who crossed the finish line in front, was disqualified in post-race technical inspection. Franklin worked his way from a 20th starting position into contention by the halfway point before moving to the runner-up spot and making a late charge that came up just short of Morton at the checkers. But when Morton's car did not pass inspection, Franklin earned the $2,000 prize for the 35-lap main event. "I don't prefer to win them like this," Franklin said. "We had a chance to win it straight up, but I missed (turn) three and he got away from me. But we keep our stuff straight, by the book, so we'll take it. We can use all the dollars and all the wins we can get on these Franklin Motorsports cars. "My dad works day and night, late hours to get these things as fast as they are and I think this weekend proved just how fast they are." Mike Striegel started on the pole and set the early pace, with Cody King pressuring him before Striegel opened a four-car-length lead by lap six. By lap eight, Morton advanced into second with King third and Kris Jackson and Ryan Gillmore both had worked their way into the top five after starting 10th and 12th. Morton looked for a way around Striegel for several laps before finally doing so on lap 14 . Three laps later, Gillmore moved into the runner-up position, 2.1 seconds behind Morton. A caution flew on lap 23 as Morton led Gillmore by 1.4 seconds. Franklin went to third and Striegel was in fourth for the restart with a dozen laps remaining. Franklin gave chase after the restart and was within two car lengths of Morton with four laps left. Morton was able to ride the high groove to take it home and finish 1.1 seconds ahead of Franklin. As Franklin was declared the winner, Gillmore was credited with second with Shadren Turner third, Striegel fourth and Brandon Hare fifth. Cain hangs on in Stock Cars feature: Josh Cain of Rio Rancho, N.M., led the final 37 laps and was able to overcome a late-race restart to captured the USRA Stock Cars main event and a $2,500 first prize. Cain appeared on his way to a comfortable win, with a one-second lead over Dylan Thornton with two laps remaining in the 40-lap event. But a caution took away his margin and forced him to prevail in a two-lap shootout to the finish. It proved not problem for Cain, who held off Mitch Hovden by .822 seconds at the finish with Bryan White third. "We had a good time tonight," Cain said. "I kept messing up in (turns) three and four and I thought I was gonna give it away. But on the longer runs, I felt like I could make one and two make up for what I was messing up in three and four." Front-row starters Derek Green and Cain traded the lead in the early going with Cain in front when a caution slowed the action on lap four. Cain opened up a lead and continued to set the pace as Dylan Thornton moved into second on lap nine. Cain's leading margin was 1.7 seconds over Thornton when caution slowed the action again on lap 17. Cain extended his lead to 2.3 seconds by lap 30 with Thornton and Green following. Continuing to utilize the low groove throughout, Cain had a 2.6-second command wiped out after a lap-32 caution. Then came the lap-38 caution and Thornton made a big run, pulling alongside coming to the white flag. But Thornton experienced mechanical issues to take him out of contention on the last lap. Hovden wins in Hobby Stocks: Chris Hovden of Cresco, Iowa, crossed the finish line second, but was elevated to the USRA Hobby Stocks victory when apparent race-winner Dylan Clinton of West Union, Iowa, was disqualified in post-race tech inspection. Clinton grabbed the lead away from Carter Koop on lap five with Tracy Halouska taking over second from Koop a lap later. Clinton opened a 1.8-second lead over Halouska at the halfway mark on lap 15. As the race remained caution-free, Clinton poured it on and finished 4.1 seconds in front of Hovden for what appeared to be his third straight nationals triumph - all at Lucas Oil Speedway. Instead, Hovden took the win and the $1,200 first prize. "It feels awesome. I've been trying for a lot of years and this is the my first year at Lucas Oil Speedway," Hovden said of winning the nationals. "It's a little bittersweet, you getting it in the tech tent, but it's also one of them things. You really have to know your car. "I had it bite me one time last year. It happened to Dylan. It happens to everybody at least once in their career. You just have to follow the rules the best you can. I'm just so excited. It was an awesome weekend." Halouska wound up second with Justin Hanson third and Jeremy Crimmins fourth. Martin captures Tuners feature: Randy Martin of Springtown, Texas, took over on lap six and went on to beat David Kirkpatrick for the USRA Tuners feature win, worth $500. "It was a great run. I got out front and the track was super, super fast. That was fun for me," said Martin, who was making his first visit to Lucas Oil Speedway. Justin Converse slid around Dylan Whitley for the lead on lap six. One circuit later, eighth-starting Martin advanced to the front as Converse almost spun his car in turn two and Martin opened a 1.2-second lead by the midpoint on lap 10. Martin had a 3.2-second lead over Converse when a lap-17 caution slowed the action and took away Martin's sizable cushion. On the restart, a huge melee ensued behind Martin with Converse taking a big hit as seven cars were involved. After a lengthy clean-up in turn one, Martin held off Kirkpatrick by 1.2 seconds for the win. Kirkpatrick came through the B-Main to get into the field, starting 14th. Jason Weber finished third with Dustin Reeves fourth and Racer Costello fifth.

- Stage set for Saturday's final night of 10th annual Summit USRA Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 6, 2023) - The stage is set for the grand finale on Saturday night at the 10th annual Summit USRA Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway. Features in all five competing divisions on Friday's Night 4 of the Nationals saw more drivers lock into the A Features for the final night. A full night of action on Saturday will see "alphabet soup" of features leading to the A features in the USRA Modified, B-Mod, Stock Cars, Tuners and Hobby Stock divisions. Grandstands are set to open at 4:30 p.m. Saturday with racing at 5:30 p.m. Michehl, White capture Stock Car features: Third-starting Myles Michehl of Fort Dodge, Iowa, jumped to the lead on the opening lap and held off Pat Graham by .356 seconds to take the first of two features in the USRA Stock Cars division. Michehl had just taken the white flag with Graham on his bumper when a lapped car spun in turn one to bring out a caution. Both Michehl and Graham evaded the stopped car, leaving them two laps to settle the outcome as scoring reverted to the previous lap. Michehl hung on for the win Gerald Wahwahsuck finished third, joining the top two in advancing to the Saturday-night A Feature. Bryan White of Lebanon led all 20 laps to earn the victory in a caution-plagued second Stock Cars feature. White led by 1.2 seconds midway through the 20-lapper, but as second-place Bill Crimmims appeared to be cutting into the gap White expanded the lead to 2.6 seconds by lap 14. That's when the race's fifth caution flew, wiping out White's cushion. It didn't matter as White dominated the rest of the way, beating Jake NEwman by 2.1 seconds. Crimmins earned the third and final transfer spot into the Saturday feature. Turner, Moudry, King take B-Mod wins: Shadren Turner, entering the night second in USRA B-Mod national points, helped his cause by leading all 20 laps in the first feature. Turner beat Kris Jackson by 2.5 seconds with both of them locking into Saturday night's main event for the B-Mods. Turner, of St. Joseph, opened a 1.7-second lead over Mitchell Franklin by the halfway point. Franklin surrendered the runner-up spot on the final lap as Jackson made a pass coming to the finish line and beat him by a half-car-length. Ben Moudry of Protivin, Iowa, held off Reece Solander by half a second to earn the second B-Mod feature. Moudry started on the front row and led the first 15 laps with Kirk pressuring him when a caution flew on lap 14. Andy Bryant took over second on the restart and was nearly a second behind Moudry when a lap 18 yellow came out. Moudry was able to use the high groove to hold off Solander at the finish, as both clinched starting spots on Saturday for the feature. The third feature saw Cody King of Fanshawe, Okla., pass race-long leader Dan Hovden in turn two on lap 15. Jon Sheets got around Hovden on lap 17 for the runner-up spot, but was unable to catch the leader. King beat Sheets by .746 seconds, but both locked in feature spots for Saturday. Ahumada, Givens grab Modified feature victories : Carlso Ahumada Jr. of El Paso, Texas, held off Terry Phillips of Springfield in a dandy to claim the first USRA Modified feature. Ahumada prevailed by .022 seconds in leading all but one lap after starting from the pole. Phillips started fourth and was able to quickly work his way into the runner-up position. He used the high groove to pull alongside and edge past Ahumada for the lead off turn two on lap 19, but Ahumada regained the top spot on the final circuit. Cole Anderson finished third to complete the trio locking into Saturday's Modified finale. Brandon Givens of Wichita, Kan., led the final 17 laps of the second Modified feature, finishing .390 seconds in front of Gabe Hodges. Jason Pursley came home third to earn his way into a locked-in A Feature starting spot on Saturday. Martin wins Tuners feature: Randy Martin of Springtown, Texas, held off Oliver Monson for the USRA Tuners feature victory. Monson was disqualified in post-race tech inspection and Robert Tosh was elevated to runner-up. Martin started fifth and rolled to the lead by lap three. Martin held a one-second lead by lap 10, but 10th-starting Monson cut the gap to .087 seconds when a lap-13 caution set up a two-lap shootout. Martin executed an outstanding restart and went on to finish .829 seconds in front of Monson with Tosh crossing the finish line third. The top six earned their way into Saturday's finale. Hobby Stocks feature goes to Clinton: Fifth-starting Dylan Clinton of Clinton, Iowa, took command on lap four and drove away for the USRA Hobby Stocks feature. Clinton, the defending champ of the nationals, beat Chris Hovden by less than a car length. Clinton had a 2.2-second lead over Chris Hovden by lap 13 when the race's first caution came out. Hovden stayed close from there and a last-lap bid fell .028 seconds short of the winner. Jeremy Crimmins was third as the top six advanced to the Saturday feature.

- Summit USRA Nationals open with Davis, Hovden and Morton earning Shootout victories at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 3, 2023) - The first of a scheduled five straight nights of the Summit USRA Nationals kicked off at Lucas Oil Speedway on Tuesday night with Brandon Davis, JC Morton and Mitch Hovden each visiting victory lane. The all-star event on the first night featured Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series track champions and Summit Shootout qualifying race winners. Davis of Hayfield, Minn., led all 16 laps but had to hold off Nic Bidinger's challenge just past the halfway point and held on for the USRA Modified feature win. Davis started on the pole and led fourth-starting Nic Bidinger through the first four laps, opening an .812-second lead before Paden Phillips spun to bring out a caution while running fourth. Bidinger rode the high line to pressure Davis by lap 10, then switched to the low side on lap 12 to pull alongside. But Davis, racing at Lucas Oil Speedway for the first time, was able to build a gap over the final laps to pull away and beat Bidinger by 1.2 seconds. "I didn't really know where to run," Davis said. "I saw the class before me (Stock Cars) run up on top. I just decided to go to the bottom because I know the lip is pretty treacherous up there if you get over it. "I heard Bidinger and looked at the (video) board and he was there. I decided to try and change it up a little bit and finally figured out towards the end a little bit in one and two. "The first time here, it's interesting. It takes a little bit to get used to this stuff. It's amazing the difference in soil from up north to down here." Jason Pursley finished third with Trevor Hughes fourth and Tyler Davis in fifth. Hovden captures Stock Cars battle: Mitch Hovden of Decorah, Iowa, lost the lead midway through the USRA Stock Cars Summit Shootout feature, then regained it a lap later to post the feature win. William Garner grabbed the lead on lap 10, but Hovden drove back to the top spot one lap later and didn't surrender it the rest of the way. Garner and Josh Cain staged a side-by-side battle for second over the next several laps before Garner got the advantage and cut Hovden's lead to one-half second. Hovden was able to roll from there and wound up one second in front of Garner at the finish. "You could hear 'em," Hovden said of the challengers. "I moved to the bottom and it seemed to be quite a bit better than the top and I was lucky enough to hold them off." Cain wound up third with Derek Green fourth and Mason Beck fifth. B-Mod Shootout win goes to Morton: JC Morton of Springfield led the final 14 laps for the USRA B-Mod Summit Shootout on the opening night of nationals. A former USRA national champ, Morton too the lead on lap seven from Henry Chambers who started up front and paced five of the first six of the 20-lapper. Morton went on to finish .686 seconds ahead of Lucas Oil Speedway track champion Bobby Williams for his eighth B-Mod feature win of the 2023 season with half of those coming at the Wheatland oval. Williams also had a strong run, advancing from seventh at the start. Morton started eighth and quickly moved into the top four before challenging for the lead and taking it over on lap seven. He didn't give it up from there for a strong start of his week at nationals. Action continues Wednesday night as action builds toward Saturday's big final-night action in all five divisions.

- AFTER FIVE MONTHS AWAY, SHANE SEXTON RETURNED TO USAC/CRA COMPETITION AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY
(Warner Springs, CA, October 1, 2023) After five long months sitting on the sidelines, "Shugah" Shane Sexton returned to action in the USAC/CRA Glenn Howard Classic at Perris Auto Speedway. The young driver started 19th in the 30-lap main and brought the immaculate #74 GAS Chassis sprint car home in 12th. A multitude of reasons had seen the Warner Springs, California driver on the sidelines and away from the USAC/CRA Series since April. First off was the violent crash on April 15th at Perris when he set the 2023 track aeronautics record for a sprint car. The crash left him with a broken back. In addition, even though his car held up well in the accident, his father, Stan Sexton, decided to build him a new chassis. The driver was healed up and the new car was ready to go for the August 22nd race at Perris. However, that race was canceled due to the remnants of Hurricane Hillary. Thus the Glenn Howard Classic was his first race back in a 410 sprint car. While he did not race his 410 for 5 months, he did get two rides in Mike Schweitzer's Lightning Sprint Car. Upon his return to 410 racing, the qualifying session was tight for the fastest 20 cars. Sexton recorded the 20th fastest lap of 17.791. That meant he was only .960 slower than the fastest driver who stopped the clocks at 16.831. After qualifying, he started and finished seventh in the second 10-lap heat race of the night. That set him into the 19th starting spot in the main. From the drop of the green flag, he looked smooth and fast. When the James Cox checkered flag brought an end to the proceedings, "Shugah" Shane had passed seven cars and finished 12th. "It took just about through the heat races to get really comfortable with myself," Sexton said of his first 410 race back in the saddle. "In the main event, we just rode around the first 10 laps as normal and let everybody sort themselves out. After that, we decided to pass some cars. I think we moved up seven spots or something like that." Being the first time in the brand new GAS Chassis (the GAS Chassis Company is owned by his dad, Stan Sexton, and his grandmother Nita Gatlin), the young driver figured they would have to make a lot of changes once they got on the track. As things turned out, the car performed flawlessly and the crew did not have to do much to it. "It handled super good right off the blocks," Sexton enthused. "It was fast and a lot better than I expected. I thought we were going to have a little bit more kinks to work out of the chassis but it did everything as it should. All we had to do was the minor, normal stuff. Tire pressure and spacing the rears." "I feel this one is a little bit better because my dad had some more notes on the chassis and we could fine-tune some things," Sexton answered when asked to compare this car to his first GAS car. "Now that he has built a couple, we were able to change some things to my liking. Everybody likes different stuff. Once we were able to figure that out, it handled better than I imagined. I am excited to finish the season out in it." After his performance at the Glenn Howard Classic, Sexton is looking forward to the remainder of the season. It includes four more USAC/CRA races, a two-night open comp show at Imperial Valley, and two lightning sprint car races back in Schweitzer's #41B. Up next is Mohave Valley on October 14th. You can see his schedule for the remainder of the season at the end of this release. "I went to Mohave Valley two times last year and got the "Hard Charger" both times," The friendly driver related. "I love that place. I think it is the atmosphere. The pits are nice and everybody around there is super nice. It makes for good racing around there." Sexton and the #74 team wish to extend their thanks to the following 2022 racing season partners. Gas Chassis, Key Brothers Racing, Elite Powder Coating, Bill's Jerky, Hot Dog Kustoms, Savage Racing, AG Sandcars, and Ron's Tire and Brake.

- Lucas Oil Speedway track champ Middaugh hopes home-dirt advantage provides a boost at USRA Nationals
WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 2, 2023) - It's already been a dream season for Ryan Middaugh, with track championships at Callaway Raceway in his hometown of Fulton and Lucas Oil Speedway. He has 18 feature wins and 33 top-five finishes in 41 events. "We had a good year in 2017 when we won 14 races. I thought that would be hard to top," Middaugh said. "To do what we have this year, to win six races at Lucas and a track championship and just to put ourselves in this position has been really cool." That position is having a shot at a United States Racing Association Modified national championship. Middaugh enters the five-night Summit USRA Nationals, which kick off Tuesday night at Lucas Oil Speedway, eight points behind Brandon Davis of Hayfield, Minn., in the USRA points race. "I don't really know what it would mean. It would definitely be the pinnacle of what I would say my racing career, which is a racing hobby," Middaugh said of a potential national championship. "If I could pull something like that off, it would be pretty unbelievable." Middaugh calls himself "a true weekly racer" who runs the two tracks closest to home - Lucas and Callaway - and venture to other locales when they can. "It's just me and my dad as the money behind this deal," Middaugh said. "He works two jobs to hold down the motor program and I kind of take care of the rest. We're just working-class people. I have one buddy who comes and helps one or two nights a week. "So just to have a shot at (a national title) means a lot. We've had a really good year, winning 18 races, two track championships and we've pretty much sealed up the Central Region as well." Middaugh, 31, said he's been preparing for the marathon week of the nationals by working up and extra set of tires. Otherwise, the preparation has been pretty much as usual. Perhaps looking for the nearest wood to knock on, he's had few mechanical issues all season. "We haven't had any engines troubles and haven't had any parts failures or DNFs. That's really helped to keep us up front in the points deal and helps the pocket book too, when you're running top-five most every night. You can keep putting that money into getting you there next week." It'll take a special week with continued top-five finishes - and perhaps a couple of feature wins - for Middaugh to have a shot at overtaking Brandon Davis. Tyler Davis of Haysville, Kan., also is in the mix just 21 points behind the leader. Perhaps the home-track advantage will give Middaugh a boost. An already-tremendous season could become one for the ages. "It's definitely a different beast," Middaugh said of the Lucas Oil Speedway dirt. "It changes all the time. It's a tough place to get ahold of. We've built a notebook throughout the year and when the track changes it doesn't hurt us. "It would be awesome to even win a prelim night. That would be super cool to top our year off. But we're gonna go there and try to win every night. If we do that, it would be a big boost toward winning the nationals." Here are things to know about the USRA Nationals, which are scheduled to begin with a Monday-night practice session: 10th Annual Summit USRA Nationals CLASSES: USRA Modifieds, Medieval USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods, USRA Hobby Stocks and USRA Tuners.

- Wells rallies for Late Model feature victory in Night One of Lucas Oil Speedway's Fall Brawl
WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 22, 2023) - Justin Wells patiently waited before making a bold pass for the lead on lap 24 and pulled away from there to earn the State Tech Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature on Night One of the Fall Brawl Presented by SMC. Wells, of Aurora, earned $2,000 for his 11th feature win of 2023 at Lucas Oil Speedway. He will take aim for the $4,000 prize in Saturday's finale, a program that has been moved to a 1 p.m. start due to a forecast of rain in the evening. Grandstand gates open at noon. In the Springfield Mechanical Services Inc. POWRi Pure Stock Shootout, Mason Beck captured the feature win to take home $500. The payout on Saturday night for the SMSI Power Stock Shootout will be $1,500 to win. Also earning feature triumphs on Friday were Brandon Jordan (Show-Me Vintage Racers Series) and Matthew Hirst (the American Iron Racing Series). While Wells trailed until late in Friday's 30-lapper, he wound up living up his his billing as the man to beat after capturing the Hermitage Lumber Late Model track championship in the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series. Wells said he looks forward to chasing double the money on Saturday and isn't worried about different track conditions that could develop from a day-time race. "They always provide a good track," Wells said. "There was two or three grooves out there tonight. Johnny (Fennewald) and the 81 (Jimmy Dowell), we were three-wide for the lead. No matter what you get thrown at you, it's always pretty good. I'm excited for tomorrow." Dowell beat fellow front-row starter Fennewald to the lead on lap one and set a quick pace, opening a 1.4-second lead after five laps with Wells trailing in third. Fennewald started to cut into the margin as the leaders found lapped traffic and was just two car lengths behind by lap nine when the first caution flew. Dowell repelled Fennewald's bid for the lead on the restart and was able to regain a one-second margin by lap 16 when another caution appeared. This time the restart went Fennewald's way as he surged to the lead in turn two and Wells followed him past Dowell down the backstretch. That set it up for a Fennewald-Wells battle the rest of the way. Wells made a bold dive into the low portion of turn four to take the top spot on lap 24. Wells said it was go-time. "I think Johnny and I was both hanging back there just a little bit because the track was gonna keep the speed or maybe pick up," Wells said. "I got the chance on that caution and then Johnny kind of squeezed me there and got me in the wall. "I thought, you know what, we're gonna man up and get this done and that's what I done." Wells drove away from there for a 3.5-second win over Fennewald. Tucker Cox rallied for third with JC Morton fourth and Larry Jones fifth. Dowell faded to sixth. Early start on Saturday: The Saturday portion of the Fall Brawl has been moved to earlier in the day due to a forecast of rain and possible severe weather starting early in the evening. Pit gates will open at 11 a.m. Saturday with grandstands at noon, hot laps at 12:30 p.m. and racing at 1. Beck takes SMSI Pure Stock Shootout: Mason Beck of Urbana led all 20 laps and held off Mark Simon of Buffalo for the SMSI POWRi Pure Stock Shootout win on opening night, taking home the $500 first prize. "This is my car that was my dad's old car," Beck said. "He and my uncle built it back in the '90s. I figured we'd bust it out one weekend. It's still good, but barely good enough. "Simon was good. He was there the whole time. We've raced all year in the (USRA) Stock Cars together. I knew the only way he was gonna beat me was to go above me and I wasn't gonna get off those tires" on the low side. Beck led the way from his pole-position starting spot and had a 1.1-second lead in the early going, but Simon closed in on his bumper by lap six. By the midpoint on lap 10, Bobby Brown was a close third with Robert High and Robert White rounding out the top five - all separated by a second. The leaders caught lapped traffic on lap 13 with Beck able to stave off a Simon bid for the lead off turn two. Beck hung onto the lead until finally clearing lapped traffic coming to the white flag and he took it to the checkered by two car lengths over Simon for his 14th overall victory of the season. White wound up third with High fourth and Darin Porter fifth in a race that ran caution-free after an opening-lap yellow led to a complete restart. Jordan captures SMVR win: Brandon Jordan of Pineville, Mo., led wire-to-wire to capture the Show-Me Vintage Racing Series feature by a narrow margin over Bob Werkmeister of Omaha, Neb. "My car owner Doug Perry, I called him Doug the Legend Perry," Jordan said. "It's guys like him that keep racing alive. He was racing these cars with his dad when they were late models. That made his pretty much stock, '41 Ford straight axle car as fast as any of them." Jordan rolled to the top spot on the opening lap and Werkmeister gave chase, with third-place Lawrence Waters four seconds behind the leaders by lap six. The caution-free race saw Jordan work his way smoothly through lapped traffic as Werkmeister continued to run right behind, all the way to the checkers. Jordan prevailed by a diminishing car length at the finish, the official margin being .249 seconds. Tom Charles came home in third with Waters fourth and Damon Clevenger fifth. AIRS feature goes to Hirst: Matthew Hirst of Davenport, Iowa, led all 15 laps and held off a late challenge from Travis Heier to capture the American Iron Racing Series feature. Hirst started up front and opened up a 1.6-second lead over Heier when a caution flew on lap eight. Heier closed in after the restart as the top two broke away from third-place Daniel Wauters by about eight car lengths. Hirst and Heier were side-by-side for most of the final two laps, but Hirst was able to hang on by a half second to earn the win. "This is a tribute car to (Iowa driver) Roger Dolan," Hirst said. "Roger was a champion back in the '70s and '80, a fantastic race-car driver. My dad was and is great friends with him. Bart Miller finished third with Wauters fourth and Scott Tiedt taking fifth after starting 12th Saturday admission: Advance Discount Tickets online only (16 and up) - $17 Adults (16 and up) - $20 Seniors (62 and up)/Military - $17 Youth (6-15) - $10 Kids (5 and under) - FREE Family Pass - $50 Pit Pass - $40 LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY UNOFFICIAL RESULTS (Sept. 22, 2023) State Tech Hermitage Lumber Late Models A Feature - 1. 98-Justin Wells[3]; 2. 21-Johnny Fennewald[1]; 3. 1T-Tucker Cox[6]; 4. 72-JC Morton[11]; 5. 99-Larry Jones[5]; 6. 81-Jimmy Dowell[2]; 7. 14-Kyle Graves[12]; 8. 1A-Bryon Allison[4]; 9. 5-Tommy Cordray[16]; 10. 82-Jace Parmley[13]; 11. 90-Joe Walkenhorst[19]; 12. 73-Francisco Escamila[15]; 13. 7J-Jake Morris[14]; 14. 6-Bob Cummings[17]; 15.

- Early Entry Now Open For 39th Tulsa Shootout!
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (September 21, 2023) The flood gates have opened as entries have begun rolling in for the 39th annual Tulsa Shootout, happening December 26-31, 2023, under the massive roof of the SageNet Center in Tulsa, Okla. Already surpassing the 350 mark between the six divisions, teams can enter online 24/7 at https://www.myracepass.com/series/1531/registrations/8517. The entry blank has been mailed out, and can be returned to 1141 S. 83rd East Ave. Tulsa, OK 74112, or faxed to (918) 836-5517. Early entry is $100 per class and will run through November 29, 2023. Starting November 30, 2023, the cost per class will be $125, and will close on December 13, 2023. After that, teams will have to enter at the event during check-in on Monday, December 26, 2023 Creating one of the most diverse mix of drivers of any event in dirt track racing, the early list of Golden Driller hopefuls includes the 2023 Knoxville Late Model Nationals champion, Ricky Thornton, Jr., along with Frank Flud, who has three Shootout wins to his credit, and Joe B. Miller, who captured a thrilling Outlaw victory in 2017 from the back of the field, just to name a few. The 39th annual Tulsa Shootout dates are December 27-31, 2023. Teams will move in, draw, and purchase Pit Passes on Tuesday, December 26, 2023. Practice will occur on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, with the first rounds of Heats taking the green around 7:00 P.M. (CT). Racing will continue each day, starting at 9:00 A.M., with the race for the Golden Driller wrapping up on New Year's Eve. Happening about every ten years, the final day of racing will be on a Sunday. 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 39th running of the "Mecca of Micros" include A-Class, Stock Non-Wing, Restricted, Outlaw, Non-Wing Outlaw, and 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. Rules questions can be directed to Matt Ward, who is the director of competition for the Tulsa Shootout. Contact for Matt Ward includes Cell Phone at (918) 995-1650 or the office at (918) 838-3777.

Bryan Hulbert - WHEATLAND, Mo. (September 17, 2023) Mother Nature delayed things by a day, but it was worth the wait as Ryan Timms followed up his Thursday prelim victory with a $10,000 payday and his first championship feature event win at the Jesse Hockett/ Daniel McMillin Memorial with the American Sprint Car Series presented by RacinDirt.com. "I'm really happy I was able to get this win. This is a bucket-list race to win, and I'm glad I was able to get it done this year. I want to thank the Hockett family for everything they do for this event," stated Timms, who joined Johnny Herrera as the only other driver to win a Sunday showdown at the Hockett/McMillin Memorial. Leading all by the opening lap Saturday night, which was led by Jake Bubak, Timms shot into the lead on the second revolution. Challenged once during one of the four-race stoppages, the DriveWFX.com No. 5t rolled to the finish with a 1.667-second advantage, running multiple grooves throughout the 30-lap event. "It was rubbered up earlier on today and rubbered up for that non-wing feature, so I was really expecting it to all blow off really fast and go straight to the top and just conserve your tires. The track actually stayed together fairly well. Jason Martin fought his way to a runner-up finish, with Bubak ending up third after slipping back to fifth during the mid-point of the feature event. Mounting a huge charge and at one point looking like he was going to roll by the field, Tim Estenson railed the cushion for a ten-spot gain to finish fourth. Up from ninth with a late race charge, Hank Davis completed the top five. Battling sixth to second until Lap 23, Sean McClelland slipped back to where he started, with Blake Hahn following in seventh. Jamie Ball finished eighth, with Matt Covington rolling forward nine spots for a ninth-place finish. Miles Paulus made up the top ten. The Hockett Hard Charger this year was Jeffrey Newell. The award was worth an extra $3,077. The Non-Wing Hard Charger was Jesse Vermillion. The POWRI WAR feature was topped by California's Ricky Lewis, who did so from the 11th starting spot. Overall, the 2023 Hockett/McMillin Memorial saw 147 Sprint Cars officially hit the track between both sanctioning bodies. The night started off with AR Dyno Specialty Qualifiers, with wins going to Hank Davis, Derek Hagar, Jeremy Campbell, Wayne Johnson, and Miles Paulus. Twin BMRS B-Features were won by Howard Moore and Jordon Mallett. The next event for the American Sprint Car Series presented by RacinDirt.com will be the COMP Cams Short Track Nationals at Texarkana 67 Speedway, happening October 5, 6, and 7, paying $20,000 to win, $1,000 to start.

- Armed with new chassis, Cox ready to roll as Lucas Oil Speedway Weekly Late Models get shot at extra cash
WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 21, 2023) - The Hermitage Lumber Late Model division enjoyed a rejuvenated Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series season at Lucas Oil Speedway with car count on the rise. Now the Late Models get to run a two-night show for money usually reserved for the open division. The first Fall Brawl Presented by SMC will find the State Tech Hermitage Lumber Late Models running full programs Friday and Saturday with a $2,000 to win feature on night one and $4,000 night two. "I think we're all pretty excited," driver Tucker Cox of Jefferson City said. "It's been a long time coming. A lot of us have been racing at Wheatland for a while. There's some new guys, too, but there's several of us that have raced there for quite a few years now. I think it's deserved." Drivers had to enter a minimum of four Weekly Racing Series events to be eligible. For Cox, that became problematic when a hard crash in mid April left him with a broken foot and uncertain racing plans. He missed two months and admitted his foot wasn't 100 percent for a while. But the 23-year-old was able to pick up where he left off, running near the front. He had five top-five finishes after returning in mid-July, including four third-place feature runs at Wheatland. "We've been pretty good," Cox said. "I blew a motor up one week running third and I've ran third a few times. We've been all right and are trying to get a little bit better now. "I wasn't real sure what to expect (when he came back) with my foot being the way it was, with it being sore. It's gotten a lot better since I first came back. The first few weeks I was pretty sore after the races and during the races. I think that affected me a little bit. "It's still a little bit sore, not every day, but some days. The doctor said it could take up to a year to fully recovery from the soreness." Cox is looking to finish the season strong and built positive momentum heading in the winter months. He plans to hit the POWRi Nationals at Lake Ozark Speedway next weekend and the Turkey Bowl at Springfield against open competition in November. He will do so with a new chassis, having switched to a Capital after campaigning an MB Customs for the last few seasons. He debuted it last week at I-35 Speedway, finishing third in the feature. "My MB was good and everything, I just hadn't drove anything else really," Cox said. "I drove something else my first year and have had MB Customs since. I just want to do something a little bit and try it out and see how it was. "I'm hoping to run a little better this week and carry that into the end of the year and next year." The Springfield Mechanical Services Inc. POWRi Pure Stock Shootout also will be a first-time special for that class at Lucas Oil Speedway. The SMSI Pure Stock Shootout was formerly held at Dallas County Speedway, which closed earlier this year. The Shootout will see the Pure Stocks going after $500 to win on Friday and $1,500 on Saturday with $150 to start. The Friday winner will earn a provisional into Saturday night's feature if the driver does not qualify for the main event otherwise. Also running full programs both nights will be the Show Me Vintage Racers Series (SMVR) and the American Iron Racing Series (A.I.R.S).

- Terry McCarl Leads It All For $5,000 Score At Clay County Fair Speedway
Bryan Hulbert - SPENCER, Iowa (September 12, 2023) Picking up $5,000 at the Battle of the Blue Ribbon presented by DeBerg Concrete Tuesday night, Terry McCarl collected his 15th career victory with the American Sprint Car Series presented by RacinDirt.com at Clay County Fair Speedway in Spencer, Iowa. The 15th driver to top the American Sprint Car Series presented by RacinDirt.com in 2023, McCarl's last win came 126 events ago on October 31, 2019, at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track. "I had a great car right off the bat. I love the feel of these dished wings. I always give my boys crap. They think I'm old and stupid for running them, but it's just a feel I like in the car, and the track wasn't laying rubber, but it was cleaning off," said McCarl. "It feels great to win, and it's hard to win anywhere, but on the national level with these ASCS guys, they're a great group of guys, you know, and here; I've never really run that well here in Spencer. In fact, this is my first win here." Getting the lead on the opening lap from the right of the front row, the Country Builder Construction/Justice Brothers No. 24 led from start to finish at the three-eighths-mile oval. Finding traffic late in the non-stop feature event did little to slow the wily veteran, who pulled away to a 3.719-second advantage at the drop of the checkered flag. Chased by Matt Covington, the No. 95 moved to second through the opening turns of the 25-lap affair and stayed there for the duration. Steadily moving forward, Indiana's Zane DeVault worked every line he could find to move from 11th to third at the white flag. Getting the spot away from Blake Hahn, the No. 52 settled for fourth, with Brandon Anderson fifth. Moving throughout the top ten, Ayrton Gennetten finally settled into sixth. Chris Martin crossed seventh, with Howard Moore eighth. Christopher Thram and Jason Martin made up the top ten. The finishing order was based on a split finish, as the red came out after the top two had crossed the finish line. Displayed for Lance Moss, who dove out of his car on fire, he was able to walk on his own to the Ambulance for further evaluation. Special thanks to the entire safety crew for their response, as well as Blake Hahn and Jordon Mallett, who jumped out of their cars to assist a fellow driver. Tuesday's field had 31 drivers drawing in. Blake Hahn was the overall quick qualifier at 14.283-seconds. AR Dyno Specialty Heat Race wins went to Matt Covington, Skylar Prochaska, Zane DeVault, and Jack Dover. The BMRS B-Feature went to Sam Henderson. One provisional was used by Landon Britt. Up next is the $10,000 to win Hockett/McMillin Memorial on September 14, 15, and 16 at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo. The 2023 season will mark the 32nd year of competition for the American Sprint Car Series.

- Hockett-McMillin Memorial Spotlight: ASCS championship leader Martin looks to add Lucas Oil Speedway success
WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 12, 2023) - Jason Martin fell in love with open-wheel racing when he was a youngster after his parents took him to the races in his native Kansas. It didn't take Martin long to decide what he wanted to make racing his career calling. "You come to the races one time and you'll be bit," Martin said of instant enthusiasm for the sport. "I was a really young kid and my parents took me to the races pretty often and it was an easy pretty choice of what I wanted to do growing up. I wanted to drive a sprint car. Dad got me into go-karts early and I was about 17 when I got into a sprint car." Hundreds of wins and multiple track championships later, the 41-year-old from Liberal, Kan., is enjoying one of the best seasons of his career. Martin leads the American Sprint Car Series championship chase as the circuit makes its annual visit to Lucas Oil Speedway this week for the 13th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial. "It's up there at the top of the payouts and it's a huge car count," Martin said of the Hockett-McMillin, which begins Thursday night and concludes with a $10,000-to-win feature on Saturday for the winged cars. "It's always really fun event and we always really enjoy going and racing there." The POWRi WAR non-wing sprints also will be in action with a $4,077-to-win feature on Saturday night. Both divisions will run split qualifying programs with half of the fields racing Thursday night and the other half on Friday, gathering points toward starting positions on the final night. Because of a large car count, this marks the first time the split qualifying nights have been used for the ASCS at the Hockett-McMillin. Martin said applies added pressure. Getting a prime starting position for the big Saturday finale is vital and there's little room for error on the preliminary night, which is Friday in Martin's case. "In the past you always got three nights on the track and were able to make a bunch of changes and got really good by the third night," Martin said. "This year puts a little bit of a curve ball in where you split the field in half. But we have pretty good notes, so hopefully we'll be able to roll out of the box right away. "It puts a lot more stress on just one night. Before you had kind of a mulligan, where you if you had a bad night you could recover. Now you have one chance as far as your qualifying night goes. It's a lot more pressure to perform and have good luck." No matter what happens this weekend, it's been a heck of a year for Martin with nine ASCS wins and 16 top-five finishes in 23 events to built a 99-point lead over Matt Covington. Overall, Martin has 12 feature victories this season. "We've never spent a bunch of time chasing points championships," Martin said. "This is our second year running for the ASCS national points. It's been good. We've been able to get to a lot of the race tracks we were at last year and go back to our notebook. We've been able to improve on a lot of those finishes. "We've won 12 races so far. There were years in the past where we've won 15 or 16, so it's not our highest win total, but for the cars and caliber of the series we're racing … I'm happy with our season and we've got a little bit left to go to try and close it out and try to win a championship." Among his accomplishments, Martin won The Steve King Memorial at Dodge City Raceway Park in 2009 as well as in 2011 at The Jetmore Motorplex. He's also one of handful of racers who can say they have made the A-Mains at both the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa and the Knoxville Nationals in Knoxville, Iowa in the same year as a rookie in these events. Martin has raced in 34 different states plus Canada and won races at 20 different tracks in eight states, driving both winged and non-winged sprints, plus midgets and micro sprints. While he's yet to win in limited appearances at Lucas Oil Speedway, Martin said he feels good about the track surface and plans to use Thursday night to scout how the track changes throughout the evening and how the maintenance crew adjusts. "Typically, I really do like the track there," Martin said. "They do a really good job with the track prep. Most of the time it's slick and wide and that's what I prefer it to be, when the cushion gets up there by the fence. "We'll kind of see (Thursday) what the track prep guys do. If it's really wet and they let it go, or if it gets slick early and they have time to go re-prep it. Just watch and see what the track surface changes look like, what the non-wing cars do to the track. Just pay attention to what happens. It's a good learning tool." The Hockett-McMillin Memorial recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, from Warsaw, Mo., who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006. Programs each of the first two nights will find $3,000-to-win features for the winged cars and $2,000 for the wingless. Drivers will earn points each time they hit the track - qualifying, heat races and features - Thursday and Friday nights to help determine their starting position for the final night. The finales on Saturday night, following last-chance qualifiers and B-Mains will be $10,000 for the ASCS winner and $4,077 for the WAR first-place finisher. On Thursday and Friday, pit gates open at 4 p.m. with grandstands at 5, hot laps at 6 and racing at 7:05. On Saturday, pit gates open at 3 and grandstands at 4 with hot laps at 5:30 and racing at 6:35.

(Perris, CA, September 11, 2023) Summer vacation has ended and Perris Auto Speedway will roar back to life this Saturday, September 16th, when LKQ Pick Your Part presents the "Craziest Show On Dirt," Night of Destruction. The edge-of-your-seat three-hour show will feature clean family fun and wild, wreck-filled races. The program will include daring Figure 8 races, rough and tumble Demo Cross, the Mighty Mini Stocks on the challenging road course, Mini Stock Figure 8s, the zany Double Deckers, and the return of the wacky Figure 8 Trailer races. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. and the first crash will take place at 7:00. Fans are urged to arrive early and bring all of the kids in the neighborhood for the free on-track candy giveaway and autograph session with all of the drivers and cars between 5:15 and 5:45. With the season winding down, points become crucial to determine who the 2023 champions will be. The tightest race of all is in the Mini Stock Road Racing Class. In that one, Riverside's Kris Martin, driver of the popular "Hot Wheels Car," holds an eight-point advantage over Hemet's Cory Denny. Austin Kinnane of Riverside is third but is 56 points behind the leader. Martin also leads the points in the first-year Mini Stock Figure 8 standings. There he holds a comfortable 27-point lead over Bryce Wade Pack. Kinnane is third in that class as well but is only three points out of second. Classy Earl Cox of Norco is seeking his third PAS Figure 8 title and has a comfortable 27-point lead over defending class champion Roger Storey of Riverside going into Saturday's race. The "Love Doctor," Anthony Guisa of Norwalk, is currently third in the daring class that sees fearless drivers cross within inches of each other, and sometimes crash, as they pass through the intersection at high rates of speed. San Jacinto's Trebor Stephens has the biggest point lead of any driver going into Saturday's big race. The attentive driver competes in the rough-and-tumble Demo Cross class where there are virtually no rules. Stephens seems to have an uncanny ability to avoid the chaos around him. He has parlayed that skill into a 33-point lead over second-year driver Canyon Multhaupt of Anaheim entering Saturday's episode. Popular Jim Schoening of San Diego is third and trails Multhaupt by 27 points. In the fan-favorite Double Deckers, the team of Lonnie Skillman and Don McCall lead the pair of Augustine Culverhouse/Josh Ponce by 24 markers. New guys on the block Ashton Went/Josh Sawvelle, who drive the "Hot Diggity Dodge" entry, are third. Bryce Wade-Pack continues to lead the Iron Man standings (all classes combined) over Martin and Multhaupt as the 2023 season hits the homestretch. Saturday will see the return of the Figure 8 Trailer races for the first time in 2023. The wacky contests, which feature competitors pulling trailers behind them, will have two more appearances this year. It is hoped that they produce a decent amount of entries so they can be a regular part of the show in 2024. Adult tickets for Saturday night's fun show are $20.00. For kids 6 through 12, it is only $5.00, and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking. Advanced tickets for every regular (not the fair dates) race at The PAS are available until noon on race day online at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 or by calling 1-800-595-4849. For fans who do not wish to buy advance tickets, there will be plenty available for everyone at the ticket window each race night. Perris Auto Speedway is conveniently located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds (home of the Southern California Fair), one hour east of Los Angeles and one hour North of San Diego.

- Lucas Oil Speedway plays host to 13th annual Hockett-McMillin Memorial starting on Thursday
WHEATLAND, MO.

Drivers will earn points each time they hit the track Thursday and Friday nights to help determine their starting position for the final night.

- Story book ending for Byron Reed at Attica; Markham earns late model win; Jedrzejek takes last minute 305 ride to victory; Henry, Shiels, Miller track champs
ATTICA, Ohio - It was like an ending to a Hollywood movie or a romantic novel. Byron Reed, in his final appearance at Attica Raceway Park after 34 years of racing, led all 30 laps of the 410 sprint feature. The eight time Attica track champion recorded his 44th career win in the Kistler Racing Products/Jon Wright's Custom Chrome Plating/Baumann Auto Group/Columbus Equipment/Central Ohio Farmers presents the Mark Keegan Classic to put an emotional exclamation point on the track's final race of 2023. Ironically, Reed finished second on the track's Callie's Performance Products 410 Sprint all-time win list behind Keegan. The pair combine for 100 career sprint wins at Attica. Reed finished second in the track's 2023 final point standings as well, behind Republic, Ohio's Cap Henry who wrapped up his second track title. "Started on the pole but I did pass some cars…it was a good win. It's Attic, a local track, but we got guys that can win nationwide and you can't afford to make any mistakes. I knew I had to race the lapped cars just like it was for position. It's been since 2019 that I've been in victory lane. We've been really good here this year…just missing it by just a little bit. It's Mark Keegan Night and I have to thank him. We slapped the wall last week and bent the rear-end pretty bad and I really wanted this rear-end back this weekend and he and Mikey got it done for me," said Reed beside his Crown Battery backed #5. "I really wanted this bad for my guys. We're family and Kurt (Brewer) and I shared a lot of stuff…a lot of personal stuff so I wanted it real bad for them. For my mom and dad…he'd have been mad that we had to have Keegan fix the rear-end because we should have had another one ready to go. We said he was cussing us out in the shop. I have to thank all the fans…all these years. Driving down this horse track after you win a race and all the fans cheering…it does something to me. I'll miss that," said an emotional Reed. Henry, who picked up the Attica 2020 track title, could wrap up his second All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group title Saturday, Sept. 9 at Fremont Speedway as well as he has a pretty commanding lead over Reed in the series standings. It would be quite an accomplishment considering he joined a new team in Jeff Ward Racing this year. "It shows that everybody that got involved in the off-season…Jeff kind of let us do what we needed to do. He had a lot of really good equipment already. Gary Griffith did a lot with the engine program and just kept working on it. Zack (Myers) obviously does a good job every week and Chad and Chris Wilson have been awesome help. All our great marketing partners, Elliott's Custom Trailers, Tony Elliott Foundation, Primal T Shop, Elite Wings, Maxim Racing, Griff's Engines, FK Rod Ends, King Racing Products, Berryman Racing Shocks, Premier Planning Services…everyone that makes this happen," said Henry. Former Attica track champion 'Flyin' Ryan Markham of Ashland, Ohio, held off many challenges from five-time track champion Ryan Missler to score his second Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature win. Markham sliced through lapped traffic while holding off the Missler challenges in the non-stop 25 lap affair for his 23rd career Attica win. "That lapped car on the last lap was there taking it to the top and I wasn't going to get knocked off the outside so I just put it in there. My average starting spot here is eighth this season so when you're coming from that far back every night it's tough," said Markham beside his B&B Drain Service, Beer Barrel Drive Thru, Accu Force, Tru Form Race Products, Mars Trucking, Macto Tools by Jimmy, Kevin Hills Schaeffers Oil, Monster Motors backed No. 5M. A fifth place finished wrapped up a fifth late model track title for Britton, Michigan's Devin Shiels. It's his fourth straight championship at Attica. "When I got out there and we got racing it didn't dawn on me that I could blow it at any moment. This car has been really, really good. We went away from it at the beginning of the year and we struggled and we went back to it. I kicked my son out of the car and switched bodies and the car felt just like home. It never fails," said Shiels. Lagrange, Ohio's Kasey Jedrzejek was supposed to drive a 410 sprint at Attica Friday, but team suffered an issue with the trailer. Jim Taddeo at the last minute stepped up and offered his 305 sprint car to the teen and it paid off. Jedrzejek took the lead from Brendon Torok on lap six and drove away for his third win of the year in the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints. It was his fourth career win at Attica. "I have to thank Jimmy Taddeo for allowing me to drive his car. I wasn't expecting to be here tonight but it feels good. I was a little disappointed when I got here I was told we weren't going to be racing and I was like alright, my cousin was racing a 305 for the first time so I was going to just hang out and help him out. Deny called me and said we could run Taddeo's car and I was like why not so he ran home and got the seat and we bolted it in just in time," said Jedrzejek beside the Greber Race Products, Jon Wright's Custom Chrome Plating, A+ Creations, Amherst Auto Body backed No. 4T. Fremont, Ohio's Jamie Miller's third place showing in the 25-lap feature that saw only one caution, was good enough to wrap up his fourth 305 track championship (2005, 2019, 2021 and 2023). His podium finish coupled with Paul Weaver's 11th place finish really tightens the race for the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales title heading into Saturday at Fremont Speedway. "This is awesome. Hats off to my team. They bust their butts every week to get this car ready and all our sponsors….if not for them we couldn't come out here and have fun," said Miller.

The Hockett-McMillin Memorial recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, from Warsaw, Mo., who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006.

- Arenz puts home track knowledge on display in top-five Plymouth IRA run
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 6, 2023 - As the 2023 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series turns down the home stretch, Travis Arenz and the members of the Travis Arenz Motorsports team continue to string together impressive performances in their first full season of 410 Sprint Car competition. After battling through an engine hiccup during the sixth annual Harry Neitzel Tribute race at the Dodge County Fairgrounds in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Friday, Sept. 1, Arenz bounced back with a strong fourth-place A-main showing at the team's home track - The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. during the annual 2023 Sheboygan County Fair Night event on Saturday, Sept. 2. The Labor Day weekend of IRA doubleheader action kicked off on Friday, Sept. 1 at the Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway "horsepower half mile" facility. With 23 IRA 410 Sprint cars on hand, Arenz qualified ninth with a lap of 17.002 seconds. After starting on the outside of the front row in the third eight-lap IRA heat race, Arenz pulled into the infield on lap 3 with an ailing motor and was scored seventh in the race. The engine issue prompted the team to turn to its back-up car for the 20-lap Harry Neitzel Tribute A main. After rolling off 22nd, Arenz worked his way up to place 15th in the race, which was won by Scotty Thiel. "We definitely struggled at Dodge a little," Arenz said. "In the heat race, the motor got warm and I lost power. We found water coming out of the head studs and we ended up losing a head gasket. My crew and I decided the best option was to get the back-up car down. We had to start in the back for the feature, but we were able to pass seven cars. Finishing in one piece was the goal, after the rough start." The following night, the team returned to the familiar confines of The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. for the annual Sheboygan County Fair Night IRA Sprint Car event and the fifth 2023 IRA appearance at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds third-mile clay oval track. With 30 cars on hand, Arenz turned in a fast lap of 11.973 seconds to qualify third overall. The 16th year driver then started and finished fourth in the third eight-lap IRA heat race. The 2021 and 2022 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car champion lined up on the pole of the first four-lap IRA dash and led throughout to notch his second IRA dash victory of the 2023 season and nail down the pole for the 30-lap main event. Arenz rode the low groove to lead the first four laps of the 30-lap headliner from the pole. On lap five, outside front row starter Jake Neuman swept past the Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver into the lead along the cushion. Following a caution on lap 8, Bill Balog relegated Arenz to third. After two more caution periods, Joel Myers Jr. slipped past Arenz in the closing laps to take over third. Arenz went on to secure a fourth place showing for his 12 top-five and 14 top-10 A-main finishes during the 2023 season in a race won by Jake Neuman. "Plymouth was definitely one of our better nights," Arenz said. "We qualified third quick, made the dash, won the dash and started on the pole of the feature. I made a few mistakes driving and didn't always hit my marks in the A main, but had to try something on a few laps to try to make clean passes. I finished fourth, but, overall, I can't complain." The Plymouth event also marked the conclusion of the 2023 Hopf Farms Bullring Showdown with Arenz earning a runner-up finish behind Brenham Crouch in the five-race series. Arenz and 25T Travis Arenz Motorsports team will travel to the Northern and Western portions of the state of Wisconsin for the first time this weekend, starting Friday, Sept. 8 at Gondik Law Speedway in Superior, Wis. for the Northern Nationals.
