- Fan Appreciation Night set for Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway with twin 20-lap features for USRA B-Mods
WHEATLAND, MO. (July 22, 2024) - There will be extra racing for a bargain price on Saturday when Lucas Oil Speedway holds its annual Mickey Fleehart Memorial Fan Appreciation Night at the Races. All fans ages six and over will admitted for $5 with kids 5-and-under free, as usual, for the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series program. The Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods headline the action, running Twin 20-lap features. The first will see the starting lineup based off the usual heat races and B-Main finishes. The second one will be unique. The cars will be stopped on the front stretch after the first feature to add fuel, change tires or make adjustments if they opt to during a brief break. Fans will then vote on how to invert the lineup for the second feature - either the first half of the lineup or the entire lineup. Based on the invert the timing and scoring will reset the field based on the invert and they'll race another 20-lapper. It will be a full payout for both races, paying $1,000 to win each: 1st - $1,000 2nd - $700 3rd - $600 4th - $450 5th - $350 6th - $300 7th - $250 8th - $200 9th - $175 10th - $150 11th - $130 12th - $120 13th - $110 14th through 24th - $100 Non-qualifiers - $55 Show-Me Vintage Racers return: The always-popular Show-Me Vintage Racing Club Cars also will be on hand as guest class and will be displaying their cars on the midway prior to the event. Fleehart, a founding member and long-time racer for the SMVR, passed away in 2023 and the night's action will honor his memory. "We believe that we have the best fans in racing and this is a way to show that we appreciate their support," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said of the discounted admission. "This also is a night to pay tribute to Mickey Fleehart, who meant so much to those with the Show-Me Vintage Racers." Points battles head for home stretch: Meanwhile, the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models, Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars also will be in action as the season championship battles head into the final month of the points season. JC Morton of Springfield continues to lead the USRA B-Mod points battle, 62 in front of Jon Sheets. Jason Pursley of Hermitage, after his fourth top-five finish, leads the USRA Modifieds by 27 over most-recent feature winner Robbie Reed. The USRA Stock Cars has a new points lead this week with William Garner of Lebanon moving to the top after two feature wins to take a 27-point lead over Jaylen Wettengel. The POWRi Late Model championship continues to see Aurora's Justin Wells dominate on his way to a successful defense of his 2023 championship. Wells has won nine of 10 features this season and is 370 points clear of Tucker Cox. Kids Power Wheel races: The next round of Kids' Power Wheel races will be held during intermission. Youngsters ages 5-12 can bring their own battery-powered cars to the RCR Designs Jr Fan Club sign-in or drop them at the pit gates and they will be brought to the front stretch at intermission.

- Danny Varin Gets It Done at Albany-Saratoga
By Curtis Berleue (Malta, NY) | As the summer months keep rolling on, Danny Varin keeps getting hotter and hotter, earning his second Empire Super Sprints victory in a row and third of the 2024 season on Friday night at Albany-Saratoga Speedway. Pinnacle Pole Award winner Emily VanInwegen and Shawn Donath would bring the field to green, with Donath using the outside to his advantage and leading lap one. As the lap counter clicked lap 5, it was still Donath out in front, with Jordan Poirier in second and Billy VanInwegen in third. By lap 7. Donath had caught the tail of the field and began to work lap traffic with Poirier hot on his heels. A caution on lap 11 for leader Shawn Donath with mechanical issues handed the lead to Poirier. On the ensuing restart Poirier jumped out to the lead. Danny Varin, who had restarted in 6th, got a huge run off turn 2 and by the time he reached turn 3 was in second. The next lap, Varin threw a slide job on Poirier, took the lead and began to check out from the rest of the field. With 5 laps to go, the battle for third began to heat up between Davie Franek and Jason Barney. Barney was able to clear Franek, but just one lap later Matt Tanner slipped past Barney and set his sights on second place running Poirier. With a lap to go, Tanner got by Poirier for second, but it was Varin who crossed the finish line first, by a margin of just over 4 seconds. "What a phenomenal racetrack," said Varin. "That was elbows up, pounding the cushion, slidejob city. We've been leading five features here, and never finished one. This has been a long one coming." "That cushion was treacherous, you try to run it hard but you knew you could jump it, and be over it. You had to be patient, you're leading, and let someone show you their nose before you put everything out there." Matt Tanner crossed the line in second after a last lap pass on Jordan Poirier. "We were pretty bad all night, the guys just kept plugging away at it there," said Tanner. "Even the first 15 laps of this race we weren't that good. Three seconds in a row is starting to get old, but at least we're in the hunt." After spending much of the race running second, Jordan Poirier rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third. "We weren't too good early on, after that yellow the first two laps I was good and then I started getting loose in three and four," said Poirier. "I tried to venture out, I tried to find some other lane and I just couldn't do anything. By the end, I was just trying to block and do something. We're just a tiny bit off or something." 22 cars signed into the pits for action on the night. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Jordan Thomas, Danny Varin and Jordan Poirier. Matt Tanner, Danny Varin and Davie Franek picked up E&V Energy heat race wins, while Dale Gosselin won the We Know Tools - Paul Wehnau Snap-on dash.

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

- Shane Golobic surges to 14th career SCCT win on Thursday at Marysville Raceway
Marysville, CA…Shane Golobic made his first start of SCCT Speedweek count on Thursday night at Marysville Raceway, as he drove to his 14th career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour triumph. With the win the Fremont native now moves back out front all by himself as the all-time leader in SCCT victories. "It's nice to get a win during our first start of SCCT Speedweek here in Marysville," Golobic said following the race. "It was a tricky track tonight, but luckily, we were able to get out front and set the pace. Hopefully we can carry the momentum into Chico tomorrow and Placerville on Saturday." SCCT Western Sprint Speedweek Round two and three winner Colby Copeland jumped out front at the waving of the green flag in the 35-lapper. Early on Harrisburg, Oregon driver Tyler Thompson hounded the rear of the VSR No. 5v, as he looked for his second victory of Speedweek. Lapped traffic created some excitement during the opening stages of the feature and on lap 10, Shane Golobic went two for one, getting by both Thompson and Golobic in one fell swoop. Several yellows slowed the flow of the contest after that, but through it all, Golobic remained calm, cool and collected. The driver of the NOS Energy Drink No. 17w had his way with things out front and went on to cross under the Darin Stahl checkered flag for victory. Auburn's Andy Forsberg made a late pass to secure the runner up position and in doing so, became the brand new SCCT season long point leader. It also marked his third podium of SCCT Speedweek. Thompson, Shane Hopkins and Dylan Bloomfield rounded out the top-five. Completing the top-10 in the main event were Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Tanner Carrick, who came from 17th to sixth over Copeland, Nick Parker, Dawson Hammes and Steel Powell. With four rounds complete in SCCT Speedweek, Colby Copeland continues to lead the standings by 13-points over Tyler Thompson. Forsberg sits 15-digits back in third, with Shane Hopkins 19-points behind in fourth. Dylan Bloomfield rounds out the top-five. The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will continue Western Sprint Speedweek at the Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico on Friday. The event marks the annual Tyler Wolf Memorial.

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

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

- Horton Supply Company Veterans and Military Appreciation Night set for Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (July 15, 2024) - Lucas Oil Speedway has a long tradition of recognizing active-duty military and veterans before each racing program. This week, it will be taken to an even higher level with Horton Supply Company Veterans and Military Night at the Races. All veterans and active duty military members will be admitted free with ID as the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series resumes. The Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds will headline the program with a special 25-lap, $1,000-to-win main event. "I especially enjoy this particular weekly show as we get to show our special respects to the veterans and military personnel of all our branches of service," said Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton, himself a United States Navy veteran. "Acknowledging our military is one of our great weekly traditions at Lucas Oil Speedway, but this week they get just a little more special treat of free admission. It's just one way of saying thanks to those special men and women." Extra racing also will be included on the program. The completion of the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature, which was postponed by threatening weather on July 4th, will begin the program following hot laps. Action then moves into the regular four classes with Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models joining the Modifieds and Stock Cars. Season championship battles are hot in three of the four divisions. Jaylen Wettengel of Topeka, Kan., holds a one-point edge on William Garner of Lebanon in the USRA Stock Cars. Springfield's JC Morton paces the B-Mods with a 34-point lead over Nevada's Jon Sheets and Jason Pursley of Hermitage has a 39-point cushion over Fulton's Ryan Middaugh in USRA Modifieds. It's a runaway in the POWRi Late Models as Justin Wells of Aurora, winner of eight of nine features at the speedway this season, leads runner-up Tucker Cox of Jefferson City by 390 points.

- Kalib Henry earns 2nd 410 Fremont win; Stroup gets 2nd straight 305 victory; Valenti tames trucks for 4th straight win
FREMONT, Ohio - There's just something about Fremont Speedway presented by Gill Construction that brings out the best in sprint car drivers from California. A few years ago California driver Buddy Kofoid claimed the track championship and recently brothers Cole and Caron Macedo scored victories at "The Track That Action Built." That California connection continued Saturday, July 13 on Crown Battery Night as Kalib Henry from Sacramento, California scored his second 410 sprint win of the season at Fremont. DJ Foos led the first six laps of the 30 lap Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main until defending track champion Cap Henry drove into the top spot. Meanwhile sixth start Kalib Henry took second on lap eight and started to reel in Cap Henry, driving into the lead on lap 13 just as the caution flew. On the restart Cap Henry regained the top spot but at the half-way point Kalib Henry retook the lead. Cap Henry stayed right on Kalib Henry's rear bumper until suffering mechanical issues with five laps to go. Trey Jacobs, who ran in the top five the entire race, closed in the final few laps but Henry powered to the win. Jacobs, Zeth Sabo, TJ Michael and Cale Thomas rounded out the top five. Kalib Henry's win pads his division point lead at Fremont while Thomas' 10th consecutive top 10 finish increases his lead in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group standings. "Really can't thank the Muth family enough for giving me this awesome opportunity. Kevin busts his ass and we got Connor here this week giving us a hand and taking a little bit of a load of me tonight. I kind of had a feeling tonight we were going to be good from the git…I guess when you have that feeling good things come true," said Henry beside his Running Boxer Farms, Harris Distributing Company, Valvoline, K1, Berryman Racing Shocks, Chalkstix backed #101. Kasey Ziebold led the first 11 laps of the 25-lap Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint A-main before third starter Dustin Stroup drove to the point. Following a caution on lap 14, six starter Jamie Miller moved into second and the battle for the lead was on. Stroup and Miller ran side by side lap after lap until a caution with four laps remaining. When the green flew that battle between Stroup and Miller continued right to the very end. Stroup earned his second straight win, the 11th of his career at the track, with Miller, Ziebold, Brenden Torok and Chad Wilson rounding out the top five. Stroup gained a few points on Miller in the battle for the title of the NAPA of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales. "I don't like to win like that….that was too close for me. I could hear him (Miller) ripping it on the top. Me and Jamie are good buddies…that was a good hard race. I felt real good off the bottom but the crew guys were telling me to go to the top but I didn't want to go there. I took the lead where we were running the car just felt good. I have to thank Jamie and Renee for letting me drive this car, my mom and dad, my girlfriend Katie and my daughter, Tracey and all the sponsors," said Stroup beside his Sulfur Town Pub, BSE Welding, Meru Safety, Velocity Print, The Pizza House, Sunrise Designs, Momma Dukes from Shelluke's Bar and Grill, GCE LLC, Handy Grafix, Mitten Painting, Myers Racing Engines, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Eye Candy Custom Cycles, DJ Johnson & Family, GWH, Advance Auto Parts, BRS, J&J Auto backed #12x. After Jamie Miller lead the opening lap of the 20-lap Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck A0main, fifth starter Shawn Valenti took the lead but Miller and he raced side by side over the next five laps. Following a spat of cautions, Valenti pulled away slightly from Miller and drove to his fourth consecutive feature win. Miller earned his fourth second place finish of the year with Keith Sorg, Kent Brewer and Andy Keegan rounding out the top five. Valenti, a four time truck track champion, now has 78 career wins at Fremont, putting him just two behind all-time feature winner Paul Weaver. "I could get used to this winning stuff again. I kind of stuck on the top there too long last week and learned my lesson. Awesome truck once again from my guys, Nick, Noah, Jeff Babcock, Squirrel…it's pretty amazing," said Valenti beside his Craig Miller Trucking, Conrad Transportation, Dave Story Equipment, A Plus Auto Center, Concrete Material Supply, S&S Hauling and Excavating #7B.

- JEFF DYER GETS HIS FIRST WIN OF THE YEAR AT THE SANTA MARIA SPEEDWAY
(Yucca Valley, CA, June 27, 2024) Jeff Dyer finally shook the giant gorilla off his back and won his first main event of the season by dominating last Saturday night's California Lightning Sprint Car Series main event at the Santa Maria Speedway. Dyer's 17-year-old son Seth ended up 12th in the same main event after being knocked out by a broken injector wire. In the companion Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series Doug Fort Memorial 30-lap main event, California Highway Patrol Officer Jeff got beaten around like a pinata but still came home 14th. Sporting new Power Performance Protection Engines, things started out well enough for the Dyer Motorsports duo in qualifying with the CLS. Jeff was the second quickest of the fourteen cars on hand at 14.314. Seth's best time was 14.782. That ended up being the sixth fastest of the night. On Saturday, Seth was the first member of the Yucca Valley, California-based team to contest a race at the 60-year-old track. The teen started on the front and finished third in the first heat. Moments later, the patriarch of the family, Jeff, took to the track. He started on the outside of the front row and advanced forward to finish second. Jeff, who has a Santa Maria winner's trophy from 2019 sitting on his mantle, started on the outside of the front row and stormed into the lead at the start of the main event. Even at that early point in the race, it was evident that he was far faster than all the other cars as he quickly pulled away from the competition. Seth, who came into the night 4th in the championship point standings, was coming from the inside of the second row in the 25-lapper. The talented teen ran in the top five the whole time he was on the track. However, that time ended 17 laps before the checkered flag ended the race. That is when the injector wire broke and saddled in with a frustrating 12th-place finish. Out front, Jeff's only worries came in the form of two yellow flags during the race. However, those worries turned out to be minor because the two times the green flag came back out, he simply motored away from the pack. At the end of the 25th and final lap, he had a full straightaway advantage over his closest pursuer. "We have had our struggles this year," the happy CHP officer told the large enthusiastic crowd after his win. "We have been super-fast. It is the first year we have had where we keep blowing engines. We haven't changed anything. It held together tonight. The track was technical and heavy. I have always had a little trouble freeing my cars up to run the top. They do not really run too good in the heavy stuff. It was kind of slick down below and that is what it stayed at. When you are leading, you never move from what you are doing until they try to pass you. I knew that if I was fast enough they were going to have to wind them up." Dyer's performance in the Cal Sun Racing/Dyer Motorsports #39 in the USAC/CRA portion of the program, got off to a good start when he qualified 10th fastest in the 26-car field. A fourth-place finish in his 10-lap heat race gave him one of the five direct transfers to the main event. The veteran started the main in the 10th spot. With the car working as well, a top-10 finish was certainly in the offing for the night. Unfortunately, he got clobbered. The incident cracked the housing on his rear end, bent a shock, flattened the left rear tire, and bent the steering wheel (another car's tire entered the cockpit and tagged the steering wheel). Despite the damage, his crew got the car back on the track for the restart, and he finished the race in 14th place. 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. Advance tickets are available at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7/event/1366778 or by calling 1-800-595-4849. For fans who do not wish to purchase tickets in advance, there will be plenty available for everyone at the ticket window on Saturday night. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the City of Perris. The track website is https://santamariaspeedway.net/. Seth will return to action with his dad when the California Lightning Sprint Cars return to the Santa Maria Speedway on July 27th for round #2 of the CLS/BCRA Civil War Series. In 2024, the following marketing partners will help keep the Dyers on track. Dependable Machine Inc., Haircuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, LBA Investigations, Straight Time Stirrups, Justice Brothers, Fonseca Racing, Specialty Fasteners, and Blud Racing Lubricants. If you would like to be a part of Dyer Motorsports in 2024, call (760) 550-7237 or send an email to mailto:dyermotorsports4@gmail.com.

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

- Alex Pokorski keeps it steady in MSA Eagle River Speedway return
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 9, 2024 - While the 2024 racing season has been far from predictable from a weather angle, Alex Pokorski and the Akright Auto Racing Team have been pillars of consistency in Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car competition with the latest example of which coming via a solid sixth-place showing in the 25-lap main event at Eagle River Speedway in Eagle River, Wis. on Saturday, July 6. The seventh overall MSA event and fifth complete race night of the 2024 season drew a field of 21 Sprint Cars for the second-ever Winged Sprint Car race ever held at the unique third-mile D-shaped clay oval. The fifth-year Sprint Car competitor opened the night by qualifying third overall in the 21-car field with a lap of 13.875 seconds. The West Bend, Wis. driver then lined up fourth in an eight-lap Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car before moving past Clayton Rossmann and Bill Taylor to slip into the runner-up spot, where he ended the race. After rolling off from the sixth starting position in the 25-lap main event, the 2023 PDTR and MSA Most Improved Driver Award winner dueled with a handful of his fellow competitors, including Clayton Rossmann, Justin Erickson and T.J. Haddy, for positions in and around the top-five throughout the race. Following a spirited battle with Erickson in the closing laps, Pokorski pulled off a well-executed pass in turn four of the final lap to secure his fourth top-10 showing of the 2024 MSA campaign with a sixth-place finish in a race won by Ben Schmidt. "We have been starting nights out really well," Pokorski said. "We just need a bit more speed come feature time. It was fun to race side-by-side with guys in the feature, even though we didn't go anywhere. The Eagle River track is very nice. I wish it were closer to home so that we could race there more frequently." The Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team will return to action at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, July 13 for the annual Plymouth Racing Wall of Fame Induction Night Program, during which the names of eight drivers (Fuzzy Fassbender, Donny Goeden, Dave Haag, Steve Hoffmann, Randy Markwardt, Pete Ostrowski, Steve Schad and K.J. Skelton), three track workers (Lee Glomski, John Laack and Bill Krueger) and the McMullen racing family will be added to the track's Wall of Fame. In addition, the PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars, the Super Six Late Model Series, Grand Nationals and B Mods will also be on the card.

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

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

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

- Brubaker breaks through for 1st 410 win of year at Fremont; Stroup dominates 305s; Valenti tames trucks
FREMONT, Ohio - There were times during the 2024 racing season that Stuart Brubaker probably thought about quitting as his family-owned 410 sprint team struggled with performance and crashes, switching chassis and set-ups trying to find speed. But, the veteran didn't give up and it finally paid off at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction Saturday, July 6 in thrilling fashion on Roots Poultry Night. A three-time Fremont Speedway 305 track champion, Brubaker, from Helena, Ohio, watched an over four second lead evaporate as he struggled with lapped traffic late in the caution-free 30-lap Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint feature. Brubaker held off a charging Cap Henry to score his first win of the season by just .196 seconds. DJ Foos, Larry Kingseed and Mike Keegan rounded out the top five. It was Brubaker's 9th career victory at "The Track That Action Built." "I was a little bit faster than the lapped cars but if I moved off the bottom then I opened a lane for him (Henry) and them guys ain't afraid of crashing. To say we've struggled this year is a huge understatement. We've tried different cars… we changed everything and this car is the one we started the year with. It's my guys, Bill and Brad and Ron…they never gave up. They have been busting their asses all year trying to get me better," said Brubaker beside his Pit Stop, Black Swamp H&C, Story Equipment, Josh Kromer's Seamless Gutters, Finish Line Race Fuels, Gressman Powersports backed #35. With his second place finish Henry, the 2023 All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group champion, closes the gap on Cale Thomas and Zeth Sabo who entered the night one and two in the series' standings as Thomas finished 10th and Sabo 13th at Fremont. Just like Brubaker, Fremont, Ohio's Dustin Stroup has struggled at Fremont Speedway in 2024. A night after his car suffered a rear end issue at Attica Raceway Park, Stroup was able to dominate the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature that saw only one caution flag for his first win of 2024 at the track. Stroup's 10th career victory at Fremont came in dominating fashion as he won by six seconds over Jamie Miller, Tyler Schiets, Zack Kramer and Kasey Ziebold. "Last night we blew a rear-end up at Attica so Dad and I stayed up late and got it all changed and Jamie and the guys came over and we got it all squared away. I felt really good but not six seconds good…that's awesome. I gotta thank everyone on this thing…Jamie and Renee for letting me drive their car. My mom and dad and my girlfriend Katie and my daughter Layla, Tracey…everybody that helps out," said Stroup beside his Sulfur Town Pub, BSE Welding, Meru Safety, Velocity Print, The Pizza House, Sunrise Designs, Momma Dukes from Shelluke's Bar and Grill, GCE LLC, Handy Grafix, Mitten Painting, Myers Racing Engines, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Eye Candy Custom Cycles, DJ Johnson & Family, GWH, Advance Auto Parts, BRS, J&J Auto backed #12x. Miller's second place run will keep him atop the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales standings though Stroup's win will narrow that gap. Despite a lot of cautions, the 20-lap Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature was very entertaining up front. Dustin Keegan led the first two laps before Steve Miller took the lead for four circuits. Keith Sorg drove into the top spot on lap seven before surrendering it to Shawn Valenti on lap 12. Sorg inched back ahead for lap 14 before Valenti regained the lead on lap 15. Valenti ran the top shelf while Sorg hugged the bottom and pair raced side by side the last five laps and coming to the checkers Valenti edged Sorg by .083 seconds for his third win at Fremont in 2024 with Dan Hennig, Keegan and Kent Brewer rounding out the top five. Valenti's third straight truck win is the 77th of his career at Fremont and puts him in second on the all-time win list, surpassing hall of famer the late Art Ball and just three behind Paul Weaver. "I grew up watching Art Ball and got to race with him with him quite a bit and I think his last win…he got me on that one. To surpass him…hats off to his career. It's amazing to be up here with that many wins. Hats off to Babcock and all my guys on this brand new truck…the thing is amazing. I wasn't sure if I should leave the top on either end and obviously I shouldn't have…he (Sorg) drove it in there pretty hard on the last lap," said Valenti beside his Craig Miller Trucking, Conrad Transportation, Dave Story Equipment, A Plus Auto Center, Concrete Material Supply, S&S Hauling and Excavating backed #7B. Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, July 13 with the AFCS 410 and 305 sprints and dirt trucks in action on Crown Battery Night.

About Root's Poultry - https://www.rootspoultry.com Wayne Root was stringing phone lines when the Great Depression hit. To support his family, Root began buying produce and other foods from local farmers and taking them to market in the Cleveland area. In Cleveland, he would purchase products to bring back and sell to the farmers. At some point Wayne started raising his own chickens to butcher and take to market and that evolved into a chicken processing facility. The facility where Roots Poultry is located today near Fremont opened in early 1956. It still had an area in the back where chickens were brought in, a processing area in the middle and, in the front, a retail store. Due to a change in federal law, Wayne quit raising and dressing his own chickens and Roots became a processor. Later, Wayne's grandchildren Mark and Mike Damschroder were working in the business and in 1985 bought it from their grandmother. The company had evolved to the point that it was producing ready-to-eat chicken products. Shredded chicken became the company's bread-and-butter product, but later the company added barbeque pork and other pork and beef products under the Daisyfield brand. Today Roots produces over two dozen products and all can be found in the freezer section at area retail stores.

- SEXTON GATLIN RACING TAKING THREE CARS TO SANTA MARIA THIS SATURDAY
(Lakeside, CA, July 4, 2024) Sexton Gatlin Racing will return to action this Saturday night with a three-car effort at the Santa Maria Speedway. Headlining the team will be Grant Sexton and his father, Brent, who will be competing in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series. Flat-track motorcycle racer Braydin Collie will join them, driving the SGR #44 in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series portion of the exciting program. Grant comes into the night off his season-best USAC/CRA sixth-place finish on May 27th. He also won the Hard Charger on the same night, going from 16th on the start to finishing sixth. In the same race, Brent, 52, picked up five spots in the main, going from 18th to 13th. Going into Saturday's show at Santa Maria, Grant is 16th in points, and Brent is one spot and 14 points behind his youngest offspring. Sexton Gatlin Racing has appeared at Santa Maria numerous times over the past couple of decades. The last time was on August 6, 2022. On that night, Brent captured the California Lightning Sprint Car Series main event. SGR bookended that main event when Brent's oldest son, Dalton, subbed for Grant in the race. The older sibling pulled off the track after one lap and finished 15th. On the same night, Grant, who will celebrate his 20th birthday on July 16th, was making his second-ever start in the USAC/CRA Series. Flashing some of the talent that would take him to the 2023 Rookie of the Year, he impressively qualified 15th in the 31-car field. In his 10-lap heat race, he missed the transfer to the A main by two positions. That sent him to the B main where he was the show. On the opening circuit of the 12-lapper, he touched wheels with another car and bicycled towards the wall in turn three. He did not let up and gathered it back in. A few laps later, he was trying to pass the fifth-place car on the outside on the back chute. The car suddenly bolted right, clipped Grant, and sent him into the fence. Yet, the teen maintained his poise and did not lose a spot. However, running in the final transfer spot going into turn one on the last lap, he hit a big rut and spun out, ending a crowd-pleasing performance and his night of racing. Joining Sexton Gatlin Motorsports at Santa Maria will be Lakeside, California's Braydin Collie. The flat-track motorcycle racer will make his California Lightning Sprint Car Series debut on the 1/3-mile banked clay oval. For fans who want to see SGR in action on Saturday, the gates will open at 4:00 p.m. Qualifying will begin at 5:00 p.m., and the first race will start at 6:00. Adult tickets are $25.00. Seniors and military get in for $23.00. For kids 6-12, it is only $5.00, and children 5 and under are free. The track is located at 1900 Hutton Road in Nipomo. The track website is https://santamariaspeedway.net/. Sexton Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2024 season possible. East County Electric Works, Keys Brothers, BR Motorsports, Maxima Oil, Automated Interiors, Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, Troy Dirt.

- Friesen Finds Victory Lane in CNY Speedweek Night One
By Curtis Berleue (Vernon, NY) | Making a rare sprint car start, NASCAR Truck series driver Stewart Friesen picked up his fourth CNY Speedweek victory and first since 2015 on Thursday night at Utica-Rome Speedway. Driving for Glenn Styres, the now Sprakers, NY driver fended off multiple charges from Jordan Poirier for the $2,500 victory. Pinnacle pole award winner Stewart Friesen brought the field to green with Jordan Poirier on his outside. Going into turn one, Poirier took the early advantage on the outside. Before a lap could be completed, however, the first caution flew for multiple slowing cars. The ensuing restart saw another caution before the field could reach turn 3, this time for Josh Pieniazek in turn 1. The third restart was the charm, though, as a lap was able to be completed and Friesen was able to jump out to the lead. As Friesen clicked off lap 5, he started navigating lap traffic, with Poirier, Billy VanInwegen, Danny Varin and Jordan Thomas in tow. The next lap, however, another caution flew, this time for a slowing Chris Hile. Poirier was able to take full advantage of the restart, as he got a good run around the top and took the lead from Friesen. Behind the leaders, Matt Tanner was the star of the show as he had worked his way from the 22nd starting position to 9th in the first 10 laps. Another caution on lap 12 slowed the field again, and it spelled heartbreak for Tanner as an issue under caution ended his march to the front. Friesen was able to re-take the lead from Poirier on the restart, working the high side. Danny Varin followed in third, with Billy VanInwegen now in fourth and Joe Trenca rounding out the top 5. With Friesen opening up his lead over Poirier, all eyes were on the battle for 5th as Trenca and Davie Franek would trade slide jobs on each end of the track. Friesen was able to continue pulling away from the rest of the field and crossed under the checkers with over a 5 second lead. "That was a blast, big thanks to Glenn and the whole GSR crew, they're building these cars and motors in house now, and they were great" said Friesen in victory lane. "I didn't fire off real good on the bottom on restarts. I would overshoot turn one and then Jordan would get me." "The track was great though, even with as slick as it was we could race all over it." Jordan Poirier crossed the line in second, a solid start to CNY Speedweek. "I tried to start slow, I knew if I started slow I could have the momentum on the top side," said Poirier. "I knew if he got out in front of me, it was going to be tough to pass him." "He was super fast in 3 and 4, and it seemed like my car was just a little bit tighter. Hopefully tomorrow will go just like tonight and we can finish up front." Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium was Danny Varin. "It was tough tonight," said Varin. "When you start with those guys on the front row its going to be tough to beat them. Hats off to those guys, we made our car better all night but we were just off a little bit at the beginning of the night and were just trying to catch up a little bit. With 37 cars signed in on the night, the field was split into four timed hot lap groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Joe Trenca, Jason Barney, Jordan Poirier, and Matt Farnham. E&V Energy heat race winners were Joe Trenca, Jason Barney, Jordan Poirier and Jordan Thomas. Shawn Donath picked up the Kinney's Kar Kare dash, and Alex Therrien won the Lacaillade Masonry B-Main.

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

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

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

The HMT invitees are Chad Wheeler, Jason Pursley, Dakota Dale, Kenton Allen, Dean Wille, Tyler Wolff, Henry Chambers, Chevy Coleman, Jarret Dotson, Nic Bidinger, Gunner Martin, Tad Davis and Brandon Givens; Lucas Oil Speedway has invited Joe Duvall, Rick Beebe, Chris Kratzer, Terry Phillips, Greg Scheffler, Trevor Hughes, Gabe Hodges, Chase Sigg, Ryan Middaugh, Tanner Mullens, Robbie Reed, Tyler Davis, Dayton Pursley and Chad Lyle.

- Sabo wins thriller 410 sprint feature at Fremont; Riehl gets 1st 305 win; Valenti tames trucks
FREMONT, Ohio - A few weeks ago coming to the checkers in the 410 sprint feature at Fremont Speedway presented by Gill Construction, Zeth Sabo and Kalib Henry made contact, with Henry getting the win. The 21-year-old Fremont native wasn't about to let that happen again Saturday, June 22 on Willie's Sales & Service Night." Coming to the checkers Sabo and Cap Henry made contact with Henry flipping and Sabo sustaining front wing damage but kept rolling and on the ensuing restart held off Cale Thomas for his second career Fremont win. "After Cap got into me I thought we were done for. I thought the front end was out of it. We lost one a couple of weeks ago like that and I wasn't going to let it happen again. Those guys were giving me everything they had. I got into a lapper there early and messed the top wing up too. I can't thank Rich and Shelly Farmer enough for giving me this opportunity and all the guys who work so hard on this," said Sabo beside his NAPA Auto Parts of Fremont, Level Utilities, Kiser Sound, Limo Scene Limousine Services backed #29. Sabo led laps 1-26 with Henry narrowly leading lap 27 and Sabo leading the final three circuits. Thomas, the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group point leader, Kalib Henry, DJ Foos and Trey Jacobs rounded out the top five of the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main. Sabo's victory was worth $4,500 thanks to Ray Brooks of Gill Construction who added $500 to each of the three division A-main winners shares. The 25 lap Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature finish was also exciting. Two cautions late in the race made it very interesting for Logan Riehl. The Clyde, Ohio driver led all 25 laps but he and Jamie Miller raced side by side for several laps until Paul Weaver took second on lap 21. Just as the white flag was flying a caution flew. On the ensuing restart Weaver made contact with an infield tire, ending his run. When the green flew it was Jimmy McGrath and Miller who battled Riehl. The drag race to the checkers saw Riehl claim his first ever Fremont win over Miller, McGrath, Zack Kramer and Brandon Moore. Miller's second place run pads his lead in the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales points. "I knew if I could just calm down and hit my marks everything would play out. I can't thank everyone here enough. We've been struggling really bad here this year and we kind of threw something at it tonight and it really worked. I could drive it where ever I wanted. These RCF Chassis are really kicking ass this year," said Riehl beside his Cornerstone Farms, Larry Riehl, Bascom Diesel Supply backed #9R. In a caution-filled 20 lap Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature, Fostoria, Ohio's Shawn Valenti, a four time Fremont track champion, survived to claim his second win of the year and 76th career victory at Fremont, tying him with the legendary Art Ball for second on the track's all-time win list. "We've worked hard on this new truck and we weren't sure how it would pan out. It's a phenomenal truck. I have to thank Ron Miller for everything he's done for me, Jeff Babcock, Erik Wolleson also known as squirrel…we busted our butts on this thing to make sure it was right before we brought it out and I'd say it's setting pretty good," said Valenti beside his Craig Miller Trucking, Conrad Transportation, Dave Story Equipment, A Plus Auto Center, Concrete Material Supply, S&S Hauling and Excavating backed #7B. Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, June 29 with the Ti-22 Performance FAST On Dirt Series coming back for a regular program along with the remaining laps of the $10,000 to win Ohio Sprint Speedweek event that was postponed after three laps were complete because of Rain.

- DOMINIC GORDEN SCORES HUGE VICTORY WITH FIRST EVER 410 NARC WIN AT THE SUPER DIRT CUP
(6/21/24 - Ben Deatherage) Algers, WA ... NARC rookie driver Dominic Gorden scored his first ever 410 sprint car victory with an impressive performance at night two of the Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway. Gorden battled with polesitter Tanner Carrick, took the lead on lap 20 and effectively checked out on the field in the 35-lap main event riding the cushion like a seasoned veteran. "This is amazing; it's been such an up and down, mostly down Speedweek so far, so to come out like this swinging is amazing," said the 18-year old emotional winner in victory lane "Last night wasn't our best night, but tonight Richard (Brown, crew chief), Jared, and Ashton got the car on rails, and from the drop of the green I knew we were going to have a solid car.". The feature started with Carrick seizing control of the top position. Carrick, piloting the California Waterfowl #83T Maxim, would have his efforts slowed by a pair of red flags in the first three laps. Once the green flag runs developed, he would be under heavy pressure from the Toyota of Marin #24 Maxim, but future cautions would break up any momentum Johnson had built up. At the midway point, Gorden brought his A-Game riding high on the cushion. He flew around the high side of the track in his JI Apparel Company #10 KPC. He would power past Carrick on lap 16 to take the lead, but Carrick was quick to take it back the next time to the line. Carrick did his best to hold back Gorden's aggressive advances, but the Rookie of the Year contender blasted past the leader on the 20th circuit. Gorden drove a flawless race the remaining distance to score the massive triumph. "(Carrick) knows how to fight off a slider, but I knew the top was better in two. It just took me a long time to get my momentum built up to pass him," continued Gorden. "We've been struggling with this car, but we've slowly been getting more and more notes on it, and finally, we got a night where I really felt I could put it anywhere." The Farmer's Brewing Company #2X KPC of Justin Sanders made a late race surge toward the front and grabbed second place with a few laps remaining for the Mittry Motorsports team. He started 10th. Corey Day also rallied late in the Jason Meyers Racing #14 KPC to earn the final step on the podium and the William Roofing Hardcharger honors after starting 16th. Carrick held on for fourth, chased by the Bates-Hamilton Racing-entry piloted by Justyn Cox.

- FAST FLOWDYNAMICS TEAM READY FOR USAC/CRA RACE AT PERRIS ON SATURDAY
(Ontario, CA, June 20, 2024) The Flowdynamics Racing Team will jump back into action with both feet on Saturday night when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series visits its home track, Perris Auto Speedway. The team will be packing a one-two punch with drivers Matt McCarthy and Logan Williams, who is currently the hottest driver in the series. Spectator gates for the night of exciting 410 sprint car racing will open at 5:00 PM, and the first race will take the Steve Russell Green flag at 7:00. Saturday's race will be the fifth of the season for McCarthy, who lives in Riverside, California. Thus far, the 2017 series Rookie of the Year has confined his racing this season to Perris. He has been fast in all four outings. At the season opener, he qualified seventh quickest, but a broken steering box in his heat put the kibosh on the remainder of his night. One month later, he only qualified 13th fastest but won his heat and went from starting 13th to finishing 10th in the main. In the April race, he ended up 13th in qualifying, took the win in his heat, and went from 14th to sixth in the 30-lap main. Had the race been more laps, he was fast enough that he would have finished in the top five. At last month's Salute to Indy, he timed in second fastest at 16.492. That was the 11th-best qualifying lap of all USAC/CRA drivers at the famous track in 2024. However, after placing second in his heat, bad luck reared its ugly head and knocked him out of the main halfway through the race. Williams, who lives in Yorba Linda, California, has been a pleasant surprise for the series fans in 2024. He has six top-10 finishes and three top-fives in seven starts this year. The only time he has not finished in the top ten was on April 27th, when drivetrain issues forced him out of the race. Williams has starred big time in the series' last two races. At the famous salute to Indy on Memorial Day Weekend, he led more laps than anybody when he kept the #5W in front of the thundering herd for 17 circuits at Perris. A couple of weeks later, he journeyed to the Kevin Harvick Kern Raceway for the first time in his career. After qualifying ninth, he placed fifth in his heat race. For the main on the 1/3 mile oval, which is located in Bakersfield, California, he started 9th and drove all the way to second for his best finish of 2024. The recent prowess of the 2013 PAS Young Gun Sprint Car Series champion and 2014 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year indicates that his first USAC/CRA Series win is just around the corner. "It is finally here, I would say," he responded when asked if his performance this year has surprised him. "I feel like we have been the best car that's done the worst. We have been fast enough to be in the top three but it just hasn't happened for us for whatever reason. My confidence as a driver is 100% but a lot has to do with the new things we have done that have been working on the car." Coming into Saturday's race at the track where he grew up watching his Hall of Fame father, Rip Williams, and his two older brothers, Cody and Austin race, Williams finds himself fourth in series points. That is the highest ranking of the three racing siblings. However, he is not concerned with racking up points. "I just want to win races," he firmly stated. "I am not thinking about points. When I go out there I am trying to win and take care of the car. We cannot afford to crash on stupid stuff. Mostly I am just trying to think about the win." "Yeah, maybe a little bit, but I just want my first win," he responded when asked if the winning races over championships mindset came from his father, who had over 100 main event victories. "Obviously, if a championship came before a win, I wouldn't be mad about it, but I would much rather have a win." "Believe it or not, we have never really had a good battle," he continued when asked about racing with older brothers Cody and Austin. "I have never had a battle with either of them. Either one of them is much faster, and they pass me, or I pass them back real quick. We have never had like a slide job battle where I pass them or they pass me and then there is a slide job pass back in the next corner. We never have had that true battle, but it did feel good passing Austin. That is for sure." If you would like to see the two personable drivers in action this Saturday night at Perris Auto Speedway, the spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM, and the first race will begin at 7:00. Adult tickets for the race at one of the country's premier clay ovals are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6 to 12, it is only $5.00, and children five and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking.

For fans who do not wish to buy advanced tickets, plenty will be available for everyone at the ticket window at Saturday's race. Perris Auto Speedway Is conveniently located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the city of Perris.

- ZEB WISE STRIKES FIRST WITH JIM RAPER MEMORIAL SUPER DIRT CUP WIN
(6/20/24 - Ben Deatherage) Alger, Washington ... After surviving several late race restarts, Zeb Wise hit pay dirt on the opening night of the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway, scoring a 30-lap preliminary victory with the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series. Wise made the winning move after a lap 24 restart, driving the Rudeen Racing-Rayce Rudeen Foundation #26 Maxim. It was his first ever NARC sanctioned victory. The race began with the PGH Excavating #19 XXX, driven by Colby Thornhill, seizing the lead on the first lap and setting the pace in the Hoosier Racing Tires feature. Thornhill would be overtaken shortly after a restart by Willie Croft's Rudeen Racing #29 Eagle on the 11th circuit. Croft tried to peddle away from the rest of the field, but would be hunted down on the 20th circuit by Justin Sanders. Sanders, piloting the Mittry Motorsports-fielded Farmers Brewing Company #2X KPC, made a sweeping pass on the inside of turn four coming to the line on the 20th go round. He would stick in the top spot until reigning NARC champion Corey Day began to apply pressure. Day, piloting the Jason Meyers Racing-owned Sanders Engineering #14 KPC, outgunned Sanders for the top spot two laps later, before he slammed into the wall in turn two, handing the lead back. Capitalizing on a restart, Wise would drag race Sanders to the line on the 25th circuit and take the lead by the slimmest of margins. Three yellow flags would wave in the waning laps, but the Indiana native held on the remaining distance for the victory. "Before tonight, I watched videos of this place the last few weeks, and one thing that stood out to me was how good the middle was," spoke a very jubilant winner in victory lane. "I knew that was a major possibility the way the track was, and the bottom was pretty good. After that open red, I really didn't feel that good; I just got stuck in a spot and hung around. But a caution came out, and we were really good after that." "Justin (Sanders) kicked my ass last year, so it's nice to get a little bit of redemption, not for as much money, but we'll try and do that on Saturday. It's always good to race with Justin; we race cleanly together, and I like racing with him, and he always races with me respectfully, and that's all you can ask for." Sanders finished a very respectable second, with on the final step of the podium going to the Builder Outlet Super Store #18T XXX of Tanner Holmes. He started 10th. The Bates-Hamilton Racing-owned entry, piloted by Justyn Cox, posted a fourth-place result in the Diamond Plastics #42X Maxim. The top five included the Scottie's Plumbing & Repair #18 XXX driven by Jason Solwold. Corey Day recovered from a blown right rear tire to finish sixth. Justin Youngquist, Williams Roofing Hardcharger Greg Hamilton, Croft and Cam Smith rounded out the top ten. Heat winners earlier in the night were Day, D.J. Netto, Tyler Thompson, and Greg Hamilton. Mike Brown, Gauge Garcia, Dominic Scelzi, Cam Smith, Bailey Jean, Dylan Bloomfield, Shane Golobic, ARP Quick Qualifier Trey Starks, and Thompson were involved in flips during the night. Luckily nobody was seriously injured. Scelzi was diagnosed at a local hospital with bruised ribs.

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

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

Completing the top ten in second feature were Carson Ferguson, Tyler Wyant, Forrest Trent, Colton Flinner, and Clay Harris.

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

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

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

- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Darren Phillips looks to make final racing season a memorable one
WHEATLAND, MO. (June 12, 2024) - Darren Phillips has enjoyed a 27-year racing career on area dirt tracks, driving in a variety of divisions along the way. His top goal always has been to enjoy the ride, with his family. It all began when Phillips got to race with his brother, Darrell Rife in 4-cylinders at Nevada Speedway, and has evolved to racing with his 23-year-old son Dalton Phillips. But Darren's time behind the wheel is starting to wind down. Phillips announced earlier this year that the 2024 racing season would be his last. He's doing so by realizing a long-time dream of driving a Late Model and Phillips is having a solid season, currently eighth in the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model points chase at Lucas Oil Speedway. "Last year we went out and played around on the boat, did a bunch of other stuff with family, and had fun with it," Phillips said. "It's time to find something else to do. I've enjoyed my racing career a lot. I've met a lot of my closest friends racing. "About everywhere you go you're going to meet somebody or run into somebody you know. You're gonna run into some people you have hard feelings with. But the next time, they might become some of your closest friends. I've had a few of those." Phillips, 46, is looking forward to Saturday night's doubleheader at his hometown track in Wheatland. Along with the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series Midseason Championships, the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models will run their makeup feature from a May 25th rainout. That $2,000-to-win race will lead off the program. Phillips has been a familiar face on area speedways, going back to the opening of the original Wheatland Raceway in the early 2000s. Phillips drove Factory Stocks in those days and has spent time in Modifieds, B-Mods, Mod Lites and USRA Stock Cars before finally taking a shot at Late Models midway through last season. "That was my dream since I was a little kid," Phillips said, recalling how he grew up watching MLRA Late Model standouts like Alan Vaughan and David Turner race at Nevada. "I loved watching all those guys and my dream was to run a Late Model. I knew I couldn't afford it … I still can't afford it, but I do what I can. "When I had a chance to get into first Late Model I bought last year, I had a blast." Phillips traded his USRA Stock Car for a Late Model this season has said it's "been a fun time" as he's adjusted to car. "We started out the year a little rocky trying to learn the new car," he said. "I think I've got it working pretty good now. I've had a few good runs the last little bit. I'm looking forward to this weekend after the last three weekends when I've run pretty strong." Included were a pair of ninth-place feature runs at Lucas Oil Speedway and a fifth at Central Missouri Speedway. He's eighth in Lucas Oil Speedway points, putting him within realistic range of achieving one of his goals. "I would like to finish top five at Lucas for points and finish top 10, if not the top five, in (POWRi) national points," he said. "Those are the biggest goals to end my career." The 2021 USRA Stock Cars Central Region champion and 2023 Bolivar Speedway champ in USRA Stock Cars said he has a lot of people to thank for supporting his racing career. Topping the list are his significant other, Bobbi Lehman, and five children. The family serves as his crew on race nights. "I just want to thank everybody that's helped me and thank all my kids for being there and helping me and thank my wife for sticking with me," Phillips said. "My kids have been with me 100 percent. I've enjoyed doing this with my kids." The Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series Midseason Championship is Presented by the Bolivar Herald-Free Press. Look for discount coupons to Saturday's action in The Bolivar Herald-Free Press. Action will get underway with the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models running their 30-lap makeup feature from a rainout on the final night of the Show-Me 100.

Action will get underway with the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models running their 30-lap makeup feature from a rainout on the final night of the Show-Me 100. The $2,000-to-win feature, using the lineup that was set to run on May 25th, will follow hot laps the regular racing program will get underway after the makeup race.

- MASSINGILL’S LAST LAP PASS NETS WAYNESFIELD VICTORY
Bryce Massingill led only one lap of Sunday night’s USAC Midwest Thunder SpeeD2 Midget feature at Ohio’s Waynesfield Raceway Park, but he made it count.
- DILLON MCCOWAN SCORES EXCITING FIRST CAREER MLRA WIN AT CALLAWAY RACEWAY
Fulton, MO (June 7, 2024) - Dillon McCowan used some late race heroics and trackside experience, to overtake Earl Pearson Jr. late in the going to capture his first career Lucas Oil MLRA win on Friday at the Callaway Raceway in Fulton, MO. A total of 32 drivers checked in for the MLRA's first ever stop at Callaway, and they left fans with a great first showing from start to finish. Derrick Stewart started off the night by grabbing his first career My Race Pass "Fast Time Award" with a Group "B" lap time of 14.522. Heat race victories were recorded by Chris Simpson, Earl Pearson Jr., Stewart, and Kyle Beard. Qualifying issues left Pearson starting in the 8th and final position on the grid, but the Jacksonville, FL driver raced his way all the way to the win, capturing the nights Swift Springs "Move of the Race" in the process. The 30-lap feature would find Chris Simpson starting on the pole alongside of fellow Iowan Derrick Stewart. Simpson would take control from the drop of the green, until lap nine when Pearson used a consistent low line to take the lead away from Simpson as the duo worked off the exit of turn two. Pearson quickly found the backside of the 24-car field and had to navigate lapped traffic during the balance of the feature, all the while trying to keep Simpson and sixth starting Dillon McCowan in his rearview mirror. As the laps began to count down, McCowan continued to apply pressure on the top line of the speedway, pulling up alongside of the Lucas # 46 of Pearson multiple times in three and four before having his run brought to a halt by lapped traffic multiple times. The top two of Pearson and McCowan finally found clean race track with just under five laps to go, and with just three laps to go McCowan took advantage of a clean race track to drive by Pearson exiting turn four to grab the lead for the first time. McCowan would lead the final three circuits and go on to capture the $5,000 to win main event. The victory marks the first career Lucas Oil MLRA win for the series defending Sunoco Race Fuel Rookie of the Year winner. Pearson held on for his second MLRA runner-up finish of the year while Chris Simpson completed the podium trio. Gordy Gundaker would grab his second top five of the year in fourth while Stewart hung on for a fifth-place run, his best to date under the MLRA banner. Current point leader Chad Simpson finished in eighth, which allowed the points chase to tighten. Chris Simpson returns to second, only 15 points out of the Championship lead while Gundaker is now just 20 back of the four-time series champion Chad Simpson. McCowan commented on the battle with Pearson in saying, "It was definitely a hard-fought battle. That lapped traffic played a big big factor in it. It was breaking his run, but it was also breaking my run at the same time. I don't know if I call it a quick feature because it felt like an eternity in there the way we was running around there." The caution free 30 lapper went at a lightening pace, taking only 8:03 to run start to finish. "I was getting a run on the top there and I knew he was going to be glued to the bottom because it was definitely the fast way around the track," continued McCowan. "I would just get a good run and I'd hook it good through one and two and we would catch him down the back stretch and then I would have to whoa it up. Once we finally got clear of them (lapped traffic) I was like it's either going to be wreckers or checkers now, I didn't lift." Lucas Oil MLRA action continues on Saturday night June 8th at the Springfield Raceway in Springfield, MO with another $5,000 to win showdown. This will mark the MLRA's first trip to the ¼ mile facility since 2012 and just the 8th time in the series 36-year history.

- BRADEN CHIARAMONTE WAS SPRINT CAR CHALLENGE TOUR HARD CHARGER AT PLACERVILLE
(El Cajon, CA, June 5, 2024) One of the sure things in West Coast Sprint Car racing is the fact that teenage sensation Braden Chiaramonte is not afraid to pass cars. Last Friday, at the Dave Bradway Jr Memorial opening night at the Placerville Speedway, the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour rookie demonstrated that by passing more cars in the main event than any other driver. Stuck back in 21st to start the 35-lap main, he raced under the checkered flag in 13th place. This Saturday night, he makes his first appearance at the Petaluma Speedway when the SCCT visits town. A stout 40-car field converged on the famous high-banked red clay quarter-mile oval for round five of the 2024 SCCT season. For El Cajon, California-based Chiaramonte, the series rookie point leader, who was wheeling the Tiner/Hirst Slade Precision Shocks/Larry Davis Farms/System 1 Pro Ignition #94TH, it was his second showing at the track this year. The first appearance came three weeks earlier when he placed second in the regular Placerville 360 main event. That finish came just 24 hours after a third-place finish at another iconic California track, the Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico. Chiaramonte qualified with 19 other cars in group A. His best lap, an 11.142, was 13th in the group and 25th fastest of the 40 winged cars on hand. That placed him on the inside of the fourth row of the first 10-lap heat race on the freshly watered track. He needed to place in the top five to earn a ticket directly to the A main. However, passing was at a premium at that time of the night. Only four cars, including Chiaramonte, advanced their position in the race, and all of them only moved up one spot. His sixth place finish left him one position shy of going straight into the main. Starting third in the B main, Chiaramonte initially was running fourth. Staying dedicated to the high side of the 59-year-old track, he started flying on lap four and began picking off cars. Eventually getting up to second, he was dramatically closing on the leader who had a full straightaway advantage at one point. Coming off turn four with two laps to go, a lapped car spun to a stop directly in front of the young driver. With cat-like reflexes, Chiaramonte hit the brakes and steered to the inside. His car gained traction, the front wheels shot into the air, and he wheelied past the stopped car in spectacular fashion. With three laps to go, Chiaramonte restarted the B main in second. Going into turn three, he used a textbook slide job to take the lead and impressively led the final three laps, earning himself a ticket into the A main. To say Chiaramonte was starting deep in the main event field was an understatement. He was on the inside of the next to last row for the 35-lapper! Early on, he momentarily slipped back to 23rd. The young driver skillfully avoided the chaos that saw yellow and red flags in the main and methodically moved his way forward. By races end, his impressive performance saw him go all the way forward to 13th. While he officially passed eight cars as the PitStopUSA.com Hard Charger, being back to 23rd at one point means he raced past 10 other cars. The finish kept Chiaramonte in the sixth position in the SCCT championship chase heading into this week's race at the Petaluma. Keeping up with the team's crazy schedule, Chiaramonte hopped on a flight home to El Cajon early Saturday morning. As soon as he got home, the team jumped into the rig with the family-owned #73B and drove 195 miles to the Ultimate Sprint Car Race presented by Inland Rigging at the Ventura Raceway. Unfortunately, the long trek to Ventura did not have a happy ending. After starting and finishing third in his heat, Chiaramonte started 10th in the main event. However, entering the first corner on lap two, something broke, and he went hard into the crash wall. While the young driver was uninjured, the car sustained substantial damage, and he was out for the night. Fans who wish to see Chiaramonte in action at Petaluma on Saturday can find the track on the Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds at 100 Fairgrounds Drive in Petaluma. Spectator gates open at 4:00 PM. Practice will be at 5:00, and the first race will take the green flag at 7:00. Adult tickets are $25. For seniors 65 and over and the military, it is $22.00. Juniors 12-15 and kids 6-11 are $10.00. Children 5 and under are free. Chiaramonte flew to North Carolina two weeks ago to drive for his cousin, 2020 NASCAR Truck Champion and current Xfinity Series driver Sheldon Creed, at the famous Millbridge Speedway. Shoeing Creed's 600 Micro for only his second time at the track, he qualified second quickest in his group on Monday. He went from fourth to second in his heat before getting clobbered and having the injection knocked off the car. Despite that, he still finished fourth. In the night's main, he started and finished 16th. Twenty-four hours later, at Millbridge, Chiaramonte qualified 4th in Group B. He started on the outside of the front row for his heat race and picked up the checkered flag for the victory. In that night's main event, he started third. At one point in the race, he drove up to the second-place. In the end, he ended up fifth. His performances on the two nights drew a lot of attention from other drivers, fans in attendance and thousands of others worldwide watching live on DirtVision. Chiaramonte would like to thank all his sponsors who have made his racing efforts possible.

- FASTEST FIVE DAYS IN MOTORSPORTS AWAITS NARC 410 SPRINT CARS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
(6/6/24 - Ben Deatherage) ... The wait is almost over as the 900+ horsepower open wheel racing machines of the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series journey north for the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports! During a quick 120-hour span, the series will feature five races at five different racetracks across Oregon and Washington in five nights. For many of the tracks, it is their only 410 cubic inch sprint car race of the year. The racing extravaganza will kick off on Wednesday, June 12th, at Southern Oregon Speedway before moving northward to the Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg on Thursday, the 13th. Friday, the 14th will see the newly added Cottage Grove Speedway as a part of the mix and will be the first 410 race at the historic ¼-mile clay oval since 2014. Willamette Speedway is back with their Saturday date on the 15th. All roads will come to a head at Elma, Washington's Grays Harbor Raceway, on Sunday, the 16th, for a Father's Day fireworks-spectacular special, the Timber Cup. "I think that the Oregon/Washington Speedweek is an awesome trip!" said current NARC standings leader Cole Macedo from Lemoore. "I know I had a lot of fun last year, and I'm super excited to run those tracks because they can get super slick and have some character." With six races down in the 65th anniversary season, there have been super exciting events coming down to the last few laps, and there's no doubt that this trend will continue. The Fastest Five Days in Motorsports started in 2019 as the Fastest Four Days in Motorsports in California. However, that all changed in 2022 when it was redirected to the Pacific Northwest. The 2023 edition was an uninterrupted string of events that led up to the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway. Support classes for the first four nights will be the Northwest Focus Midget Series. Saturday night, the Iron Head Sprint Series will join the card. Sunday's bout will feature IMCA Modifieds and PHRA Dwarf Cars. Each night will pay a stout $5000 to win and $600 to start the A-main. Another perk up for grabs is a $5000 point fund for the top eight teams in the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports points, courtesy of Roth Motorsports and Winters Performance. The overall champion will also receive a commemorative collectable trophy at the year-end championship awards banquet. Some extra money will be on the line Thursday night at the Douglas County Dirtrack. Shane DeWald Trucking is offering a $500 bonus for the fast timer, and Topp It Express will kick in another $500 in cash for the evening's hard charger. Championship Chase With five straight nights of action on tap, the King of the West championship title could very well be determined during the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports. Last year, eventual NARC champion Corey Day created a massive buffer over the rest of the competition that helped him lock up the title. Lemoore's Cole Macedo has stayed up in the first position in the championship standings for the entire 2024 campaign. Still, the Tarlton Motorsports #21 car enters the week with a slim two-point advantage. Even though last year was Macedo's first foray into several Pacific Northwest tracks, he managed to win the Willamette leg of the journey. He broke up Day's ability to sweep all four nights. So far, this team has had two NARC wins this season. "With the amount of racing that I've been running this year and seeing all these different tracks, I think I'll be in good shape," Macedo continued. "Drew Warner (crew chief) and the boys have been working hard, and I'm almost fully recovered from my rib injury early in the season, so our team is ready." As the 2024 season continues, Justin Sanders keeps getting faster and faster. The Mittry Motorsports #2X team has been excellent this year. They were outside the top five in points a few weeks ago. Now, they sit a close second after scoring a season-leading three victories. The Aromas pilot accomplished those three wins in the last four rounds, including the most recent event at Placerville. 2017 NARC champion Bud Kaeding goes into the FFDM with some of the most experience at many of the tracks including Southern Oregon, Cottage Grove, and Willamette Speedways. 2024 has treated the Campbell veteran well. The team has had a lot of consistent speed. They are fourth in the title fight and trail Macedo by thirty-one points. They managed to post a pair of top five runs, including a fourth at Antioch in May. Fifth in series points, Dylan Bloomfield, had an impressive run last year in his Northwest debut. The Oakley teenager, racing for the Vertullo Racing #83V, had some solid runs, including a fourth-place finish at Southern Oregon after setting a quick time. His best NARC run of the current season was a third at Antioch. Who To Watch In 2022, Dominic Scelzi emerged as the champion of what was then called the Faster Four Days in Motorsports. Coming off a third-place result at the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial, the Fresno driver has only one NARC triumph at the five tracks on the five-night swing. That came at Southern Oregon Speedway two years ago. In 2021 and 2022, he won the FFDM and NARC series championships. Justyn Cox will be among the plethora of drivers to watch when he and the Bates-Hamilton Racing #42X entry migrate north. The Roseville racer has spent much of his career racing and winning in the Pacific Northwest. He will be looking to score his second career NARC win during this string of events. Chase Johnson competed in Oregon and Washington last year for Josh Ford Motorsports, but this year, he will be using his own equipment. Not long after the 2023 Northwest swing, the Penngrove pilot returned to his winning ways after an incredibly emotional victory at his home track Petaluma Speedway. He's already notched a pair of Top 5s in 2024 with NARC, including a runner-up result at Chico's Mini Gold Cup. Reigning NARC rookie Nick Parker is ready for another run in the Pacific Northwest. The Vail, Arizona native, now residing in Chico, spent a lot of time adapting to many new facilities. Still, Parker is a quick learner, and once he's run somewhere, it takes little time for him to be really fast there. Billy Aton is no stranger to Oregon and Washington over the years. Making the haul from Benecia, Aton has shown promise in the current campaign and was a few laps away from winning the Salute to LeRoy Van Conett last month in Stockton. In 2023, Jarrett Soares went to Oregon for the first time to run some local winged and non-winged shows. The Gilroy gasser will be looking to capitalize on that knowledge. Tanner Carrick has been a phenomenal addition to the NARC 410 Sprint Series, putting up several top five finishes. This swing will be an extensive learning experience as the venues will be places the Lincoln native has had little to no exposure. Jessie Attard is excited to be back stateside to take on the best drivers on the west coast. The Landilo, New South Welshman, will represent his home nation of Australia. Last year, he had an impressive tenth-place result at Southern Oregon. Other drivers scheduled to make the trip are Ashton Torgerson from Glendale, Arizona, Sacramento's Angelique Bell, and more! Rookie Race The NARC Rookie of the Year race is also a tight-knit battle between some promising young stars. Caeden Steele has been impressive during the current NARC campaign, posting a pair of podium finishes. The only track of the five which he has seen live is Grays Harbor Raceway, where he made one start last July. The Easton teenager enters the FFDM with a four-marker advantage over the current runner-up. From Lemoore, Gauge Garcia has gotten into a good groove in the last few events with the NARC 410 Sprint Series. Bouncing back from a hard crash at Antioch in May, the Keller Motorsport team had a phenomenal run at the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial on June 1st, leading many laps and posting a second-place finish. Not to be forgotten is Dominic Gorden of Clovis. What's unique about this young man is that even though he's never raced at 410 at any of the upcoming tracks, he did a lot of racing at Elma, Cottage Grove, Roseburg, and Southern Oregon last July and August. There's no doubt some of the successes that he's had at those venues will translate over to the 410 as he enters the week third in the rookie race. Northwest Home Stand Jacksonville, Oregon's Tanner Holmes is excited to defend his home turf. After spending the late winter and early spring chasing the High Limit and World of Outlaws groups, the YouTube sensation returned west to compete with NARC during the last few weeks. Finishing second at Skagit Speedway on June 1st, Holmes managed to win at four tracks on the FFDM schedule in local competition and was third at last year's Timber Cup. Many regard Puyallup, Washington's Trey Starks as the Pacific Northwest man to beat. Second at last year's Timber Cup and the winner of the 2022 edition, Starks is phenomenal in the Northwest and is the two-time defending champion Skagit Speedway 410 champion. In fact, he's already hit pay dirt three times at the 3/10-mile clay oval that will host the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup. Canadian Robbie Price is expected to make the entire swing racing for Rob and Lee Leighton. Currently second in Skagit Speedway points, the Cobble Hill, British Columbia driver spent all of 2023 competing full-time with the World of Outlaws racing for Sides Motorsports and has spent lots of time running at places such as Grays Harbor and Cottage Grove. Tyler Thompson is not to be discounted in his native Oregon. Thompson has traveled throughout Oregon, California, and Montana already this year and will look to defend his home track, Cottage Grove Speedway, where he's the three-time defending track champion. The Harrisburg racer has posted wins at Elma and Grove in local competitions while has come close to being triumphant at Rosburg and Willamette.

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

- Kalib Henry gets thrilling last corner pass for Fremont 410 win; Jamie Miller earns 3rd 305 victory; Valenti gets 75th career Fremont win in trucks
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Saturday, June 1, 2024 By Brian Liskai FREMONT, Ohio (Saturday, June 1, 2024) - Kalib Henry executed a last lap, last corner pass to win his first ever 410 sprint car feature at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction Saturday on Vision Quest/Construction Equipment and Supply Night. Henry, from Sacramento, California, thought he had shown his hand too early when he drove to the outside of turns three and four to take the lead from Zeth Sabo with just four laps to go. Sabo, who had been running the bottom groove, drove back under in turns one and two and regained the lead and immediately went to the top side to block Henry. Entering the final set of turns on the last lap, Sabo went back to the bottom to try and get around a lapped car and Henry sailed across the top and the drag race to the checkers had both cars colliding with Henry winning by .123 seconds with Sabo seconds with a broken front axle. "Turn one has kind of been my nemesis since we've been racing here and I left the door open a little bit there because I just missed the bottom and he was there. I can't leave these guys an inch. I can't thank Muth family enough, Harrison Distributing, Valvoline components. Thanks to the fans, my family back home, Kevin for giving me a hot rod…we've just been clicking at it and we finally got a win. Damn it that was awesome," said Henry. DJ Foos bolted from third to the lead on the opening lap of the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main but during a caution on lap seven, had a left rear tire going flat and had to pit, handing the lead to Sabo. Sabo pulled away from a great battle for second involving Travis Philo, Henry and Sean Rayhall. Henry took the runner-up spot in lapped traffic at the halfway point. Following a caution on lap 20, Henry stayed right with Sabo and executed the high side pass on lap 26 with Sabo driving back under to the lead at the opposite end of the track, setting up the dramatic finish. Behind Henry and Sabo at the checkers was 10th starter Cale Thomas, Cap Henry and 19th starter Trey Jacobs to round out the top five. Thomas, who won Friday at Attica Raceway Park, will add to his lead in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group. Fremont, Ohio's Jamie Miller also utilized the high side of turns three and four to take the lead from Dustin Stroup in the 25-lap Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature and sliced through heavy lapped traffic late to score his third win of the season in the division. Miller, who also owns three wins in 2024 at Attica, now has 50 career victories at Fremont Speedway. Zack Kramer took the initial lead in the 305 A-main with Paul Weaver, Stroup and Miller giving chase. Stroup had a nearly two second lead by lap seven when Miller, who started fifth, drove into second. Miller steadily chipped away at Stroup's lead and pounced on lap 15 and drove to the win over Stroup, Bryan Sebetto, Weaver and Kramer. The win also pads Miller's lead in the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales as he looks to stop the four season title run by Weaver. "I could go anywhere I wanted to but that high side in three and four just was comfortable. What a weekend for this team," said Miller beside his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kolb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty's Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy's Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed #26. Steve Miller grabbed the early lead of the 20-lap Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck A-main with Shawn Valenti, Brad Stuckey, Dan Hennig, Cory McCaughey and Keith Sorg in pursuit. Every time Miller built up a sizeable lead a caution would put Valenti right on his rear bumper. Following a restart on lap 11, Valenti blasted to the top side of the track to take the lead with Sorg moving into second. The truck on the move was Jamie Miller who hoped in the Ron Miller truck for the feature after his normal ride had a mechanical issue. Miller started last in the feature and was up to third by lap 14. Valenti seemed to have things in control when a caution came out for debris with just two laps to go. That put Jamie Miller right on the leader's rear bumper. On the restart Valenti went high and Miller low as they raced side by side to the white flag. Valenti, a four time truck champion at Fremont, nailed the top line in turns three and four on the final lap to score his 75th career win at Fremont over Jamie Miller, Sorg, Dustin Keegan and Dave Golembiewski. "You go on a dry spell and you wonder if you're ever going to get back up here. Only fitting…hopefully we have a new truck out. It's fitting this one goes out the way it came in. I have to thank Jeff Babcock for everything he's done for me," said Valenti beside his Craig Miller Trucking, Conrad Transportation, Dave Story Equipment, A Plus Auto Center, Concrete Material Supply, S&S Hauling and Excavating backed #7B. Prior to the night's racing the Fremont Speedway Hall of Fame held its 2024 induction ceremonies. Drivers inducted were Clay Corbitt, Bobby Clark, Bill Kraylek, Bobby Foster and Tom Beam with car owners Sharon Burmeister, Gary Heller and Dick "Soup" Sabo also inducted. Builders/mechanics being inducted were Rollie Alvers, Zane Scott and Lester Miller with lifetime contributors/supporters Joe Darr and Stan Barnes with Fort Ball Pizza Palace honored as the business inductee.

- Kalib Henry gets thrilling last corner pass for Fremont 410 win
Kalib Henry executed a last lap, last corner pass to win his first ever 410 sprint car feature at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction Saturday on Vision Quest/Construction Equipment and Supply Night.
- Cale Thomas holds off Cap Henry for 2nd 410 Attica win; Kyle Moore wins thrilling late model affair; Jamie Miller dominates for 3rd 305 victory
ATTICA, Ohio - Things are really falling into place for Cale Thomas. The Fairland, Indiana driver of the Jay Kiser Racing sprint car drove to his second straight 410 feature win at Attica Raceway Park Friday, May 31 on Burns Electric/Metal Master Fabrications/Vermeer Sales and Service Mid-Season Championship night. Thomas' four career victory at Attica pads his lead in the Callie's Performance Products 410 Sprints Attica point standings and the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group. It wasn't easy for Thomas though as defending AFCS and Attica track champion Cap Henry grabbed the early lead of the non-stop, seven minute A-Main before Thomas drove by on lap three. Henry raced inside of Thomas lap after lap before heavy lapped traffic came into play at the half-way point. Thomas was able to slice through the lapped cars and pulled away for the victory in his Spanky's Pizza, Shelluke's Bar, Automatic Fire Protection, Ohio Refrigeration, Engler Machine, BH 41, Ohio Heating, TMH Holdings, Berryman Racing Shocks, Keizer Wheels backed #23. "The track was really wide. You could go wherever you wanted. Being in the lead…I didn't know where Cap was. I kept watching for him….I knew he was running the bottom and was hoping he wouldn't go to the top. I saw him after the checkers so he was right there with me. Obvious this car was really good. You kind of base yourself….Cap's been having a little bit of trouble so you get Cap with open air and to be able to pass him in open air just says a lot about me and this car right now and the confidence we have," said Thomas. Henry, Trey Jacobs, Zeth Sabo and DJ Foos would round out the top five. The Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature was one of the most entertaining events of the year so far at Attica Raceway Park. JR Gentry jumped into the lead of the 25 lap feature before surrendering it to Kyle Moore on lap 12. Three-time feature winner this year at Attica Rusty Schlenk powered into the lead a lap later and the dual with Moore was on. The event's only caution flew just past the half-way point and from then out, Moore and Schlenk swapped the lead several times each lap. Moore, from Mansfield, Ohio, was able to edge Schlenk the final six laps to score his first career Attica win. Moore had finished second to Schlenk the past two consecutive weeks. Gregg Haskell, Dan Wallace and Gentry rounded out the top five. "This is the longest it's ever took me to win a race at a place. Usually we go to a place a couple of times and we knock a win off. I've done everything here but win. I've been kicked out, flipped, wrecked, blown motors…we finally got out here on the horse track. That's what sucks being the leader in traffic…you just don't know where to go. When you are in second or third you've got nothing to lose. I was out there searching. I love racing with Rusty. There's very few people who race like him," said Moore beside his Kepling Flooring, Tye Tworg Longhorn, Joyride Transportation, Smitley Towing, Short Stop, Malcuit Race Engines, Wilson Realty Agent Robin Jakubick, RL Bond Septic, Hepthorn Golf Cart Sales, House of Spud, K&B Septic Service, Coffman Composites, Team Midwest Paint, Platinum Design backed #1* Fremont, Ohio's Jamie Miller used a restart on lap 10 of the Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature to drive into the lead around Brenden Torok and then ran away from the rest of the field, cruising to a half of a track advantage for his third win of the year at Attica. Torok, Dustin Stroup, Seth Schneider and Logan Riehl - who stormed from the rear of the field after being involved in an opening lap tangle - rounded out the top five. Miller's 42nd career Attica win pads his lead in the track points and the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales. "I was so worried if I ran the top too hard…I hooked one of those holes on the second lap and I thought I was going to flip this thing. I just kind of tip-toed around waiting for someone to pass me. I just kept moving around and figured it out not to bounce around on the track and we ended up here," said Miller beside his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kolb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty's Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy's Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed #26. Attica Raceway Park will kick off the 42nd Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek - nine straight nights of racing across Ohio - on Friday, June 7 for the Bert and Brigitte Emick Classic featuring the Ti22 FAST on Dirt sprints going for $6,000 to win. The UMP late models will also be in action vying for $2,000 to win.

- Arenz racks up IRA top-five at Wilmot
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 29, 2024 - After missing out on a potential A-main victory when a Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association A-main was called due to curfew six days earlier at Angell Park Speedway, Travis Arenz and the Travis Arenz Motorsports team came back firing to post the team's second top-five main event showing of the 2024 campaign in IRA Founders' Night action at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 25. Arenz, who was leading the previous IRA main event at Angell Park Speedway on Sunday, May 19 when the race was canceled short of the half-way point due to the city of Sun Prairie's 10 p.m. curfew, opened the night by qualifying sixth among the 33 entrants with a lap of 13.021 seconds. The 17th-year racer earned his second heat race victory of the 2024 season after starting second in the first eight-lap IRA heat race. The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion started third and wound up fifth in the second four-lap IRA dash to nail down the 10th starting spot in the 30-lap IRA main event. Following the first of four yellow-red flags, Arenz advanced to sixth in the running order before moving up to pass Blake Nimee for fourth on lap 11. However, Nimee returned the favor on the following lap to push the Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver back to fifth. Sprinkled around three more race slow downs/stoppages over the ensuing 19 laps, Arenz engaged in a spirited back-and-forth duel with Mike Reinke for fourth place. Arenz held on in the closing laps to secure his second top-five A-main finish of the 2024 IRA campaign with a fifth place showing in a race won by Scotty Neitzel. The team was scheduled to compete in an IRA event at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis. on Sunday, May 26. However, the event was canceled due to rain. "I made sure not to over adjust the car and it seemed to help," Arenz said. "Wilmot is always tricky it seems. From corner to corner, it's different. I'm happy our qualifying has been more consistent and we have been making more dash appearances this year. Overall, I can't complain about a top-five finish. It could've been better but I just didn't finish the job." Following the Wilmot event, IRA officials engaged in the process of investigating the team's equipment. As a result, the team's potential racing plans for the upcoming weekend have not yet been determined. "As for race plans this weekend, it's up in the air," Arenz said. "We are waiting for our MSD box to come back after officials took it to be inspected again after Wilmot. Traction control allegations are back. We are doing everything we can to allow IRA officials to do what they need to do to prove every aspect of our operation is legal." Arenz will return to IRA competition just a stone's throw from his race shop for the fourth annual Road America Challenge at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, June 8. The PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars and PDTR Grand Nationals are also on the card. Spectator gates open at 4:30 p.m. with on-track action scheduled to commence at 5:30 p.m. One night later, Arenz will visit Angell Park Speedway for the second time in 2024 for the IRA Norm Nelson Classic on Sunday, June 9. Spectator gates for the program, which also features the Badger Midgets, open at 4 p.m. with racing scheduled to start at 6 p.m. All 2024 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series events will be streamed live on FloRacing.

- Lucas Oil Speedway takes this weekend off with action set to resume June 8th; POWRi Late Model makeup June 15th
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 28, 2024) - Following a busy Show-Me 100 weekend, Lucas Oil Speedway will take this weekend off before resuming the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series on June 8th with a scheduling change.

The Lucas Oil MLRA is racing that night at Springfield Raceway and Lake Ozark Speedway has a Cash Money Series event that night. "Those Late Model drivers who race with us weekly can attend those events can attend one of those events and support them also," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. Lorton also announced that Mod Lites will be added to the June 8th event as a guest class, racing for $500 to win and $75 to start. The Clear Creek Golf Car USRA B-Mods will be the featured class that evening, running a 25-lap, $750-to-win main event. The Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars also will be in action. That will be a busy weekend at the speedway as it also marks the first appearance this season for the Kentucky Drag Boat Association on Lake Lucas.

POWRi Late Model makeup and Wells bounty: The Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models will return on June 15th and make up their rained out special from the Show-Me 100. The feature will run prior to the start of the regular racing program, going 30 laps for $2,000 to win. That evening's regular program also will be the first "bounty" on reigning track champion Justin Wells, who is 5-for-5 in POWRi Late Model features this season after winning 11 times in 2023. Lorton said the bounty will start at $500 to any drivrer able to beat Wells. Each week that the bounty doesn't get claimed, $100 will be added - June 15th ($500), June 22nd ($600), July 4th ($700), July 20th ($800) and July 27th ($900). "If no one claims the bounty in the five-week hunt, then Wells will receive the $900 bounty money which we will top it off with a extra $100 to make it a even $1,000 if he can outrun the bounty hunters," Lorton said. "These four races, the bounty has to be earned legally, the driver's car has to pass tech 100%, Justin has to have finished the race for it to be claimed. There also are some other schedule changes for the remainder of the season: Full Fender Challenge coming Aug. 17: With Central Missouri Speedway and I-70 Speedway both having Super Stock specials on July 27th, Lucas Oil Speedway will not run Super Stocks that night as they were added as a guest class. On Aug. 17th, along with POWRi Summer Thunder 410 Sprints and 305s plus the POWRi Super Stocks, the USRA Stock Cars have been added to this event for what is being called the "Super Stocks vs Stock Cars Full Fender Challenge." POWRi super stocks will race for $1,500 to win, $150 to start feature with $100 entry fee. USRA Stock Cars will race for $1,500 to win, $150 to start feature with $100 entry fee. Then the top 12 from the Super Stock feature and top 12 from the Stock Cars feature will enter into a Super Stock vs Stock Car Full Fender Challenge race for $1,500 to win, $150 to start. The top 12 from each feature will draw for their starting spots in the Full Fender Challenge Race. POWRi Super Stocks will earn POWRi National points for their feature and USRA Stock Cars will earn their sanctioning series points, and track points for their individual feature. No points will be awarded for the Stock Car vs Super Stock Full Fender Challenge. "It's all for fun, glory and payout money," Lorton said.

- Carson Macedo returns to Fremont Speedway to claim World of Outlaws win
FREMONT, OHIO - It was a homecoming of sorts for Carson Macedo Monday, May 27 at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction. The Lemoore, California native made a fantastic move on the opening lap of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series feature, driving from third to the lead and then survived several cautions to score the $12,000 pay day in the Rick Ferkel Tribute on SealMaster Night. Macedo came to Ohio in 2016 to drive a second car for Les and Craig Mintz and scored a pair of wins at "The Track That Action Built." So for Macedo, the Outlaws return to Fremont Speedway after an eight year hiatus coupled with his great runs as of late, had him chomping at the bit for his second World of Outlaws win of 2024. "Track position was everything tonight. The rain last night and this morning gave us a way different track than we are used to at Fremont. My guys had the car awesome all night. To come back here and win after Les and Craig Mintz gave me a great opportunity here in 2016 is very special," said Macedo beside his Albaugh Your Alternative/Mesilla Valley Transportation/Tarleton & Son/Saich Family/Scott Boyd Family/Complete Parts backed Jason Johnson Racing #41. Current World of Outlaws point leader David Gravel had several shots at Macedo but was unable to take advantage of the many cautions. "The track stayed wetter than we anticipated and I got too tight in three and four. The 41 guys were really good tonight. All and all it was a pretty good weekend in Ohio," said Gravel beside his Husets Speedway/Billion Auto.com/Jackson Autoplex/High Performance Lubricants backed #2. Carson's brother, Cole scored his first World of Outlaws podium finish, coming home third in the Honest Abe Roofing #16T. "I have a lot of laps around here thanks to some great people in this area. I have to thank Kevin Newton for giving me this opportunity. We crashed Friday at Atomic and decided to truck to Fremont and my guys and the Linder guys got us back in business and it paid off tonight," said Cole Macedo. Bill Balog would charge from 18th to a fourth place finish while former Fremont Speedway track champion Buddy Kofoid rounded out the top five. Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, June 1 with the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints battling in a Kistler Racing Products/All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group point night. The Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints will also compete in a NAPA of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales point battle. The Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks will also be in action.

- Justin Sanders makes it three in a row to begin SCCT season
Marysville, CA…Aromas, California's Justin Sanders continued to his torrid pace to start the Sprint Car Challenge Tour season, racing to his third victory in as many races on Saturday at Marysville Raceway's Mel & Marlyn Hall Memorial. With extra money raised by the Hall Family and the Shop Kyle Larson Bonus factored in, Sanders and car owner Dale Miller walked out of Marysville $3,500 richer. It marked Sanders' 11th career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour triumph and his second at the Mel & Marlyn Hall Memorial. "It's been a great start to the season for this Dale Miller Septic 4SA team," Sanders commented in victory lane. "You had to be really patient through all the stoppages and luckily, we were able to get past Tanner Carrick there for the lead. I can't thank everybody enough who supports this car." The 35-lap main event for the SCCT 360s began with outside front row starter Michael Faccinto looping it to a stop in the opening corner. Unfortunately, it was a precursor of things to come, as several slow downs plagued the contest. When going green Lincoln's Tanner Carrick set the early pace, as he raced to close to home on Saturday. Sanders stalked the tail tank of the TC Guide Service No. 83T with drivers battling for position throughout the field. Right around lap 20 traffic came into play and created the race changing pass up front. With Carrick getting a bit tight off turn two Sanders charged around to scoop up the lead that he would never relinquish. Persevering through a handful of more restarts, he drove off to accept the checkered flag. Carrick crossed the stripe in second followed by 10th starter Shane Hopkins in the High Sierra Industries No. 21, who had a career best night with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour. It was back-to-back solid performances for the Placerville driver, after also bringing home a podium in Placerville two weeks back. Oakley's Dylan Bloomfield aboard the Vertullo Racing No. 83v and Roseville's Sean Becker in the Monhoff Racing No. 35 completed the top-five. The remainder of the top-10 was filled out by Andy Forsberg, who was one of many drivers who went to the rear at one point, Travis Labat, Dominic Gorden, Austin Wood and 20th starter Dawson Hammes. Steel Powell carved his way from 23rd to 11th, earning the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award. William Fielding took home the $100 first non-transfer award courtesy of D&D Roofing. Ryan Bernal picked off the B-main, while Tanner Carrick captured the High Sierra Industries Dash. Heat race wins went to Dylan Bloomfield, Travis Labat, Tanner Carrick and Colby Copeland. A strong field of 39 cars competed on Saturday night with Justin Sanders earning his third straight Sierra Foothills Wine Services fast time award to begin the campaign. He toured the quarter mile in 12.446 seconds. The Hall Family must be commended for their efforts in raising extra money for the racers on Saturday.

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

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

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

- DeVault "doubles down" in 410 sprints at Fremont; Miller and Weaver split 305 features; Miller and Keegan split truck wins
FREMONT, Ohio - Zane DeVault "doubled down" at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction Saturday, May 25. The Plymouth, Indiana driver won both 20-lap 410 sprint features on Murphy Tractor and Equipment Night to claim the bonus for a total pay day of $5,000 at "The Track That Action Built." DeVault, aboard the Lane Racing #4, took the lead in the first Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint feature from Brandon Spithaler on lap two and held off a late race challenge from Cole Macedo in lapped traffic to score his first ever Fremont win. In the second feature DeVault grabbed the lead at the drop of the green and hit his marks perfectly every lap on the bottom to head once again to Beaverdam Fleet Services Victory Lane. "I've been trying to get a win here for awhile and to put that four car back in victory lane…this is like their (the Lane family) second home. We thought about putting new tires on after that first feature but my guys grooved and siped the old set and they were perfect," said DeVault beside his Islander Inn of Put-In-Bay, Premier Planning Services, Deshler Lanes, Wyatt Performance, Lead Head Water Fowl, Pro Auto Wraps, Kistler Engines, Kistler Racing Products backed machine. After opening the Double Down night of racing at Fremont with his third win of the season in the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks in the first of two features, Fremont, Ohio's Jamie Miller followed up with his second win of the year in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints. Miller's 49th career Fremont win was easy as Paul Weaver lead the first 12 laps of the 20-lap affair before Miller drove around the high line to take the lead. He had to survive two late race cautions for the victory "The turn two cushion was pretty tricky and I almost gave that away," said Miller of his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kolb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty's Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy's Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed sprint car. In the first dirt truck feature Miller utilized the high line to pass Dave Golembiewski on the white flag lap and held on for the victory. Miller nearly made it three feature wins in one night - a feat he has accomplished before at Fremont, having won a 305 sprint, a dirt truck and a late model feature win all on the same night at the track a few years ago. Miller lead the first half of the second truck feature before Dustin Keegan, a former truck track champion, slipped by on the outside. Miller rebounded and was side by side with Keegan coming to the white flag but a caution negated the move. Keegan held off Miller to score his 10th career Fremont win. "I knew if I didn't screw up on that last restart I'd be okay. It's been awhile since we got a win here and this feels great," said Keegan beside his Sonny's Signs, Burmeister Trophy, Jeff Ward Demolition backed #17X. In the second 305 sprint feature, Paul Weaver, who finished second to Miller in the first main event and is a five time and defending Fremont Speedway division champion, Weaver took the lead from Miller on lap two and expertly sliced through traffic to score his 79th career Fremont Speedway win, more than anyone in the history of the track. "We've had terrible luck to start the year with engine gremlins and other stupid stuff happening. Thanks to Bob Hampshire we got the motor figured out and we're going strong again," said Weaver beside his Steve Brown's B&B Drain Service, Hampshire Racing Engines, M&L Excavating, Seagate Sandblasting backed #1W. Fremont Speedway will be back in action Monday, May 27 as Seal Master Presents the Rick Ferkel Tribute with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series in action.

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

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

- Thornton repeats on Night 2, taking Gibson Tribute at Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 24, 2024) - Ricky Thornton Jr. continued his dominance at the 32nd annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism, winning Friday night's Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson. Thornton led all 40 laps on the heels of his Thursday night triumph in the Cowboy Classic at Lucas Oil Speedway. Both wins were worth $10,000 and just as important, the Martinsville, Ind., driver is assured the pole for Saturday night's $50,000-to-win 100-lap finale. "It worked out for us and I have to thank my boys; they busted their butts," Thornton said after his eighth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of the season and 31st of his career. He beat runner-up and reigning Show-Me 100 champ Devin Moran by about four car lengths. The race honored Don and Billie Gibson, who created the Show-Me 100 in 1993 as owners of West Plains Motor Speedway. A total of 59 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series/MLRA Late Models checked into the pits while 19 Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models were on hand. Thornton set himself up for a chance to go for the weekend sweep - and win his first Show-Me 100 - with another outstanding performance. He crossed the finish line first in last year's Show-Me 100, but was disqualified in post-race inspection for a deck height infraction on his car. The key moment of Gibson Tribute might have been on lap one when the fourth-starting Thornton split front-row starters Jonathan Davenport and Garrett Alberson in turns one and two. "I didn't expect it," Thornton said of the bold move. "We got a good start and I was able to get next to Garrett down the front straightaway. I really didn't think I was going to get a good enough run to get it next to 'JD' but it took off a lot better than I was anticipating." Thornton grabbed the lead when he and Davenport crossed the start-finish line side-by-side and traded bumps the first coming from Thornton on the inside. Thornton's lead was .011 of a second at the line and Davenport bounced off the wall and back into Thornton, who took the blame for the contact. "That was definitely all my fault. I thought I cleared him in (turn) three," Thornton said. "I hit the slime off four and I thought I left him enough room, but clearly I didn't, so I'm just glad it didn't wreck both of us. It was 100 percent my fault. "This thing was really good. We went with a little bit different tire than those other guys again and I think it paid off for us." Davenport said the early action was awfully aggressive for the start of a 40-lapper. "It was just the first lap. I thought he was gonna give me room," Davenport said. "I guess he just misjudged or whatever. I was as far as I could get up. I hit the outside wall and him at the same time. It knocked the wheel out of my hands, which is the reason I run down the racetrack on him. "Any way, (stuff) happens, I guess. Just thankful to be up here in the top three. I was trying hard to get back by (Max) Blair. With the run we had last night, coming from the back, we needed all the points we could get to get a good starting spot for tomorrow." Thornton held a .761-second lead when the race's first caution flew on lap-10 for debris from Dillon McCowan's car. Thornton was able to quickly open up a three-quarter second lead after the restart as Davenport, Blair and Moran tussled for second. At the halfway point, Thornton led Moran by just under a second with Blair and Davenport giving chase as the leaders caught lapped traffic. That worked in Thornton's favor was his lead grew to 1.5 seconds by lap 27. But Moran, hugging the low groove, began to cut into the margin and was within two car lengths by lap 31. Thornton kicked it back into fast mode and built some breathing room by lap 35 as the long green-flag run continued. Thornton had to battle his way through more heavy traffic on the final laps, but held off Moran by .618 seconds. Moran finished third on Thursday. "We just can't catch this dude," Moran said. "They do a great job and they've done a great job for the last couple of years. Congrats to them, but we're one step in the right direction." Thornton said in the late stages, he could see how big a gap he had on Moran by checking out the video board overlooking turn three. "Without that, I probably would have drove a little harder through traffic," Thornton said. "But I felt like I had a decent gap. On the last lap, I saw him go to the top in (turns) one and two. If he was on me going into three, I was going to have to really drive into three hard, but it worked out for us." Davenport passed Blair on the final circuit to grab third. Jimmy Owens, a four-time Show-Me 100 champ, wound up fifth. "Call a friend and bring 'em tomorrow, it's gonna be one hell of a show," Davenport said. Davenport had the fast qualifying lap, circling the oval at 14.864 seconds in Group B. Alberson, the fast qualifier on Night One, paced Group A at 14.872. Wells wins 5th POWRi Late Models feature: Score another Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model victory for Justin Wells. The Aurora driver made it 5-for-5 this season in the division at Lucas Oil Speedway, beating Andy Bryant in the feature. Wells beat fellow front-row starter Bryant to turn one as the green flew and already had a 2.3-second lead two laps into the action, when a caution appeared. Tyler Kuykendall moved around Bryant on the restart for second as Wells quickly pulled away. His margin again was short-lived as a second caution slowed the action on lap five. After two more cautions before the midpoint of the 20-lapper, Wells broke away to lead Bryant by 3.7 seconds by lap 12. It was all Wells from there as, despite one more yellow on lap 14, the veteran beat Bryant by 3.8 seconds. Tucker Cox finished third with Kuykendall fourth and Shayne Bailey fifth. Wells won his 110th feature in his 2006 TNT Late Model chassis. He also qualified for the Gibson Tribute in his open Late Model car and finished 18th.

- BRADEN CHIARAMONTE GETS THIRD PODIUM FINISH IN EIGHT DAYS
(El Cajon, CA, May 23) Rising teenage star Braden Chiaramonte scored a podium finish in the Tiner/Hirst-owned 94TH sprint car for the third time in eight days. His latest effort came when he placed second last Saturday night at the Marysville Raceway. The finish went along with his third-place result at the Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico on May 10th and a second-place finish at Placerville on the 11th. Chiaramonte will return to Marysville this Saturday with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour in the Mel and Marlyn Hall Memorial. The most amazing aspect of Chiaramonte's accomplishment from last week is that he had never seen the Marysville oval before. Yet, he performed flawlessly all night, from hot laps through the main event. The second-place finish sounds amazing, but it could have been more. The friendly young driver actually took the lead away on lap 20 of the main event. However, a yellow flag seconds after he took the lead reverted the lineup to the previous completed lap. Fans began to sit up and take notice of Chiaramonte in qualifying. Even though he was pitted against 24 track regulars, he still qualified third fastest with a sizzling lap of 12.637 in the Slade Precision Shocks/Larry Davis Farms/System 1 Pro Ignition sponsored car. He backed that impressive performance up with a very exciting win in the third eight-lap heat race. After a slider fest with another car at the outset, the new kid on the block led all eight laps and raced across the line a half straightaway ahead of his closest pursuer. In addition to winning the heat, he also posted the fastest lap in the race at 13.325. The newcomer to the track gave the regulars more to worry about when he pulled a two in the redraw for the 25-lap finale. When the A main started, Chiaramonte was second to turn one on the start. The determined teen challenged the cushion lap after lap. When lapped traffic came into play on the 11th circuit, he tried to pass the leader on the inside coming off turn four. However, the surface was definitely "Cowboy Up" on the bottom, making it hard to pass. Undeterred, Chiaramonte was relentless in his pursuit of the leader. Building up momentum on the wide line, he chased down his foe and inched ahead when that yellow waved as the pack roared into turn one on lap 20. That meant the field was reset to the last completed lap. Thus, Chiaramonte moved back to second. Once the race restarted, the El Cajon, California teen kept the heat on until the checkered flag. In the end, he was forced to settle for second. The impressive second-place finish endeared the newcomer to the crowd. He was spectacular on the outside and may have well won the race if not for the late-race yellow. Lap eight was Chiaramonte's best circuit around the track in the main at 13.325. It was the second-fastest lap in the race, and identical to his best time in his heat race. Going into this week's SCCT show at Marysville, Chiaramonte is 13th in series points and is only 20 points out of fifth. The race will mark the beginning of four straight weeks of SCCT racing for the young driver and the remainder of the series regulars. On Friday, May 31st, it will be on to the Placerville Speedway, where Chiaramonte finished second two weeks ago in a non-SCCT race. A week later, on June 8th, he will be at the Petaluma Speedway before heading to Antioch Speedway on June 15th. Adult tickets at Marysville Raceway on Saturday are $24.00. Juniors 12-15, seniors 62+, and military are $20. Kids 6-11 cost $10.00, and those five and under will be free. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or via https://www.eventsprout.com/event/marysville-raceway-2024. The front gate will open at 5:00 p.m. Cars hit the track at 5:30, with hot laps, Sierra Foothills Wine Services qualifying, and racing to follow. Chiaramonte would like to thank all his sponsors who have made his racing efforts possible.

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

- Pospisil Charges late to win West Series Opener at Warrensburg
Tad Pospisil opened his Malvern Bank Super Late Models West Series title defense with a hard-fought win in Saturday's main event at Central Missouri Speedway. The high-banked 3/8 mile oval in Warrensburg, Missouri was the sight of the 2024 season opener for the Malvern Bank West Series. The night saw three new faces to the series as 16-year-old Tyler Kuykendall, Andy Bryant and Jimmy Dowell all made their debuts with the tour. They and 21 others packed the pit area for a chance to win the inaugural Cliff Harris Memorial. Defending East Series Champion, Chad Holladay, was also in attendance. The Muscatine, Iowa native started the night off right as he set the fastest time in qualifying time trials with a 14.355 second lap. Meanwhile, Nebraska drivers swept the heat race wins as Jake Bridge, Tad Pospisil and Brian Kosiski were all victorious. After passing and finishing points were calculated, it was Iowa's JC Wyman sitting on pole position for the 25-lap main event with Brian Kosiski to his outside. Wyman jumped out to the early lead and showed the way out in front going into the first two cautions of the race. The first yellow flag flew for debris in turn one on lap six. Two laps later, the second caution came out for a spin in turn four. From there, Wyman continued to lead while Pospisil and Jesse Sobbing worked their ways to the last two podium spots. Holladay, meanwhile, was locked into a tight battle for fourth against 2023 West Series Rookie of the Year, Dylan Sillman. The turning point of the race happened with only eight laps to go as Wyman hugged the bottom lane defending the lane from Pospisil. Wyman hit one of the infield tractor tires as he exited turn four and then caught another going into turn one. The contact caused the left side of his car's nose to fold under the left front tire causing a loss in speed and traction. Wyman fought valiantly to keep the lead from Pospisil, but the West Series Champion found his way to the lead as the two came off turn four coming to just three laps to go. The pass was completed just before the caution came out for a car that went over the edge of the track. The 3-lap dash to the finish saw Pospisil break out to a safe distance while the remainder of the top five spots were up for grabs. Pospisil ran out the final three circuits, and the Norfolk, Nebraska driver picked up his 39th career win with the Malvern Bank Series. His win also makes him the fifth different winner in five races at Central Missouri Speedway and snapped a 25-race drought. Holladay narrowly edged out Wyman for second while Wyman brought it home third. Andrew Kosiski made a big charge late to finish fourth after starting 11th, and Jesse Sobbing rounded out the top five.

- LUCAS OIL MLRA TEAMS GEARING UP FOR RECORD PAYING SHOW-ME 100"
Wheatland, Missouri (May 21, 2024) - For the second time in 2024, the Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) will find their way back to the confines of the Lucas Oil Speedway this weekend for the 32nd running of the "Show-Me 100" Presented by the Missouri Division of Tourism. A total of three nights of racing action will be on tap, as the nation's best from the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) join the Midwest best from the MLRA in this co-sanctioned event. This year's Show-Me weekend will boast a new record purse, paying out in excess of $275,000 over the course of the three nights of racing. Two critical qualifying nights will get the weekend going, as drivers fight for valuable points to be one of the top 18 teams that will be automatically locked into Saturday night's 100 lap main event. The winners take on both Thursday and Friday will jump from the traditional $6,000 to an impressive $10,000, making it possible for one driver to collect $70,000 if they can pull off the weekend sweep. The 11th Annual "Cowboy Classic" will once again get things started on Thursday, May 23rd. This weekend opener pays tribute to the longtime promotor and owner of the MLRA Allen "Cowboy" Chancellor, who was instrumental in the success of the regional series for many years. On Friday night, racing action will resume with another complete night of qualifying action, as the "Tribute to Don & Billie Gibson" takes center stage. The Gibson's were longtime owners of the West Plains Motor Speedway and are credited with starting the Show-Me 100 at their West Plains racetrack. Both Thursday and Friday will feature complete shows with all drivers competing in time-trial qualifying, heat races, B-Features, and A-Mains. There will be no Provisionals in either of the first two nights as all drivers will be forced to race their way into each nights respective A-Mains. SHOW-ME 100 "RACE DAY" -- Leading up to Saturday nights on track finale, will be a day full of activities at the Lucas Oil Speedway for fans, drivers, and teams alike. New in 2024 will be the 1st Annual Hellraizer Jacks "Pit Crew Challenge". This event will take place in the infield beginning at 3:30 pm, showcasing the top 18 teams that are locked into the night's finale. Each team will compete to see who can change two tires in the least amount of time with the winning team receiving $2,000 and a Hellraizer jack valued at $1,500. Nutrien Ag Solutions will once again present fans with a top-notch pre-race show featuring County Artist Creed Fisher performing some of his top songs before pre-race ceremonies get underway. This year's ceremonies will include a flyover by the KC Formation Flight Team following the presentation of colors and the National Anthem which will be performed by Fisher. Once action hits the track on Saturday night it will be time for drivers to go or go home, as B-Mains will be staged to fill out the balance of the starting grid. The Show-Me Challenge Presented by Midwest Sheet Metal will then give non-qualified drivers one last chance to race their way into the 100 lapper. The winner of this mini feature will have the option of taking $2,500 for the victory or opting to surrender the check and take the final starting spot at the tail of the 32nd Annual Show Me 100 for a chance at capturing the $50,000 crown jewels top prize. Jonathan Davenport swept both preliminary nights in 2023, while Dresden, OH driver Devin Moran claimed Saturday night's $50,000 top prize in the finale. On The Radar-- Last year's MLRA Sunoco Race Fuel Rookie of the Year Dillon McCowan has had his ups and downs through the first three rounds of MLRA action thus far in 2024, as the 20-year-old sits 7th in the overall season standings. However, a return trip to the Diamond of Dirt Tracks may make for no better time or place for the Urbana, Missouri driver to make his mark on the series. McCowan is coming off an impressing win this past weekend at the Kankakee County Speedway and was running in the top three the following night at the Highland Speedway before becoming involved in an incident that ended his night. In his first ever attempt at the Show-Me 100 one year ago, McCowan not only raced his way into the show but also came home with an impressive 6th place showing, which was highest among all MLRA drivers. In 2022 McCowan scored the victory in the Modified portion of the Show-Me, and now with a full year of late model experience under his belt he will look to find the top of the podium come Saturday in his Sonic # 8. MLRA Top 5--Heading into this weekend, there are a total of 18 MLRA drivers with perfect attendance chasing after a share of the series championship point fund. The familiar # 25 of Chad Simpson along with brother Chris Simpson occupy the top two spots, just as they left off one season ago. A new face to the MLRA in Gordy Gundaker sits in third after a strong podium finish at the Adams County Speedway back on May 5th. Two time series champion Tony Jackson Jr. is tied with Gundaker just 65 markers out of the point lead and is the only MLRA regular to record a top five this season at the Lucas Oil Speedway. Last years runner-up in the Sunoco Rookie standings Trevor Gundaker is also off to a solid start as the former MLRA winner rounds out the top five.

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

It was a good night for the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints as Jamie Miller drove from 11th to a runner-up finish with GLSS drivers Max Stambaugh, Brad Lamberson, and Dustin Daggett rounding out the top five. "I didn't know how big of a lead I had and I was playing with the wing moving it back and forth a little bit. I was getting kind of tight on the cushion where I was really good early in the race but as my tires got hotter I got tighter on the curb and I had to start pulling off of it. I felt like I was losing speed. Luckily cautions fell and I didn't really have to move around much other than lapped traffic. But when I did I could roll the middle, I could roll the bottom…I could go anywhere I wanted," said Sebetto of his Sandusky Bay Remodeling, JLH General Contractor, Sandusky Bay RV Rentals, KH Suspension, Overwatch Precision, Riehl Custom Fabrication, Race Ready Apparel, Level Performance, Commercial Glazing Systems, NAPA of Fremont, Clay Keim, Depot Pizza, CA Kustoms backed #01. "I wish Guy Meyers was here tonight…he couldn't be here so it was just me Kevin my car owner and Chase and my boys Braxton and Bentley. It means a lot when I win with my wife and my boys and my family here. To do it two nights in a row is really something. Both Jamie (Miller) and I doing this in Riehl Custom Fabrication Chassis…these cars are just bad ass. We have a great balance on this thing," added Sebetto. In the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks Jamie Miller came into Saturday's races undefeated, winning both features so far in 2024. Keith Sorg finished second in both. That changed Saturday. Sorg, a former two time division champion at Fremont Speedway, took the lead from Steve Miller on lap five, lost it for a lap to Miller, then regained the lead on lap 14 and never looked back, hitting his marks perfectly to score his eighth career win at Fremont. "I felt like I made mistakes every lap. I just could not get off the bottom…that was the place to be," said Sorg of his Fremont Fence, M&L Excavating, Westend Tire, Great Lakes Garage Door, Advanced Auto Parts backed #8. Fremont Speedway will host a big weekend of racing on Saturday, May 25 for the Double Down Thrown Down Night with the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints, Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints and Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks in action.

- Kofoid returns to Ohio racing roots, gets last lap pass for World of Outlaws win at Attica
ATTICA, Ohio - A hand full of years ago a young Michael "Buddy" Kofoid moved to Ohio to make a name for himself in sprint car racing, competing weekly at Attica Raceway Park. The Penngrove, Calif. Driver used that experience to perfection Friday, getting by Carson Macedo on the last lap to score his first World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series win of 2024. Kofoid's second ever Attica win was worth $12,000 on Kistler Engines Classic Night. It's his fourth career World of Outlaws win. "After Carson got by me on that restart I didn't think the top of one and two was the place to be and I kind of got tight on that restart. Once he got by me I just tried to stay with him and pace him because I knew the race could potentially be won in traffic if it stayed green. I was able to keep bumping my wing back and move down the track in one and it really stuck a lane lower than him. Super happy to finally win a race this year. These Roth Motorsports guys have been unbelieveable. It's the best I've ever felt in a sprint car and I owe it all to Dylan and Gage," said Kofoid beside his Toyota Racing Development/Mobil 1/Roth Enterprises/HR Livestock Transportation backed #83. Californian Kalib Henry led the opening lap of the 35-lap feature before Kofoid took over. Back-to-back race stoppages on lap 10 gave fellow Californian Macedo the chance to pounce on a restart and he slid into the lead. Heavy lapped traffic with 15 laps to go allowed Kofoid to reel in Macedo. On the last lap Kofoid got under Macedo and was able to slide him exciting turn four to score the win by just .250 seconds. Bill Balog, Brandon Spithaler and Henry rounded out the top five. In the Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature Sandusky, Ohio's Bryan Sebetto took the lead from Brendon Torok on lap three and survived a late race caution to score his 15th career win in the division at Attica. "It's a testament to my guys and the hard work they put in the off-season. Kevin Schlachter hasn't spared any expense for anything on this race car. The hard work of Guy Myers and Chase Rotsinger and Kevin during the week….can't thank everyone who is a part of this team enough," said Sebetto beside his Sandusky Bay Remodeling, JLH General Contractor, Sandusky Bay RV Rentals, KH Suspension, Overwatch Precision, Riehl Custom Fabrication, Level Performance, Commercial Glazing Systems, NAPA of Fremont, Clay Keim, Depot Pizza, CA Kustoms backed #01. Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, May 24 with the 410 and 305 sprints and the $5,000-to-win first ever appearance of the Iron Man Late Model Series to "Ohio's Finest Racing" venue.

- BRADEN CHIARAMONTE RECORDS HIS BEST 360 WINGED FINISH FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 24 HOURS
(El Cajon, CA, May 15) Last Friday night at the Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, California, Braden Chiaramonte notched a third-place finish in the 25-lap main event. It was his best-ever result in a winged 360 race. Twenty-four hours later at the Placerville Speedway, he went one step better when he placed second in the winged 360, 25-lap main event. Thirty-two cars showed up for the "Mother's Day Madness" race on the famous ¼ mile, red clay Placerville Speedway. As usual, Chiaramonte was on his game from the start. In qualifying, he recorded a sizzling lap of 11.113 in the Tiner/Hirst-owned Slade Precision Shocks/Larry Davis Farms/System 1 Pro Ignition #94TH. That was good enough for the second fastest time in the 16-car group "B." Being the fastest in group "B" meant the El Cajon, California driver, would start fourth in the fourth, eight-car, eight-lap heat race. Once the green flag dropped, "Spare Change" was part of an exciting first lap. He initially slipped back to fourth. Going into turn three, the third-place car parked on the low line. That opened up a huge window for Chiaramonte to race around the outside. As he started to go past, the slowing car got clobbered by another driver attempting to slice his way through on the inside. That collision shot the car Chiaramonte was trying to pass straight up the track and nearly into him. Fortunately, Chiaramonte got the #94TH slowed down and only had minimal contact. Chiaramonte's quick reflexes prevented what could have been a disaster. With that behind him, he got right back to work. By the time the first lap ended, he was up to fourth. Down the back chute on lap two, he picked off another car and was up to third. Even though he was third, he was far behind the two first-place cars. They had established a huge advantage over the rest of the field due to the first-lap chaos. With only six laps to go on the small track, Chiaramonte did not have time to catch the lead duo and finished third. That was good enough to directly transfer him into the main event. After a B main that looked like a bad horror flick, the A main went relatively smoothly. Chiaramonte started the 25-lap finale inside the second row in third. At the end of the first circuit, he was fourth. A picture-perfect slider in turn four on the second lap saw him advance to third. He quickly pulled away from that car and set his aim on the driver in second. Chiaramonte remained third until the 18th lap when he threw another immaculate slider in turn 4 to move up to second. He pulled that move off just in time as seconds later, a car slid to a stop in turn four. That brought out a yellow flag. The good news was, the caution allowed Chiaramonte to move directly to the leader's rear for the restart. The bad news was that the leader was Andy Forsberg. The 47-year-old has nine Placerville track championships and was seeking his 70th win on the track. Once the race resumed, Chiaramonte attempted to stay close to the Placerville legend. They pulled away from the remainder of the field. Forsberg eventually moved away from his teen pursuer. With four laps remaining, the wily veteran had a 1.666 lead, but Chiaramonte started coming on. He was closing in fast on the race-long leader but ran out of laps. When the checkered flag waved, he had cut the leader's advantage down to 0.622. "This track has not had my luck for sure," Chiaramonte told the appreciative crowd after the exciting race. "I have went off one (turn one) too many times. Just to come here and have speed all night and finish top three feels really good. I started getting better in three and four and started to catch him a little bit but just ran out of laps. We were really good. Thank you to Kyle, Steven, Tom, and everyone for helping me, working on this car, and getting me where I am. Kyle is a really good coach and Steven is really good on the wrenches. So, I just have to do my job." For the second night in a row, Chiaramonte received praise from the winner after the race ended. "You can barely beat the Tiner/Hirst cars," Forsberg announced to the fans at the end of the night. "This kid has raced like 10 times (winged 360s) and I have driven for 100 years and I can barely beat him. These kart kids and micro kids jump into sprint cars and they are so fast right away." For the next two weeks, Chiaramonte will be visiting a track that will be new to him. It is the Marysville Speedway which is located in Northeast California. This week he will be contesting a 360 winged race to get in some laps for next week's Sprint Car Challenge Tour show. Advance tickets are available at https://www.eventsprout.com/event/marysville-raceway-2024. Adult tickets are $17.00. For seniors 62+, military (with id) and juniors (12-15) it is $15.00.

Spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM with racing at 7:00. Chiaramonte will finish the month of May on Friday the 31st when the Sprint Car Challenge Tour visits Placerville.

- Andy Forsberg surges to 70th career Sprint Car win at Placerville Speedway
Placerville, CA…Fans were treated to a tremendous night of racing during Mother's Day Madness at Placerville Speedway on Saturday. When all was said and done it was nine-time track champion Andy Forsberg in victory lane, after pocketing his 70th career Sprint Car win at the track. All four divisions displayed entertaining racing at the event, with fellow winners on the night including a first-time victor in Rod Oliver with the Mountain Democrat Ltd. Late Models, Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mike Miller with the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks. The 25-lap Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car feature was all about Forsberg, who turned back the clock and rode the cushion to perfection. The Auburn driver dominated things, much like he has over so many years at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds. The action behind him was marvelous however, with several drivers going at it and positions changing lap after lap. Jake Morgan of Fair Oaks looked impressive in the main event and moved into second on lap 11, making the pass of Jodie Robinson, who also looked solid in her Placerville return. As the race wound down 16-year-old Braden Chiaramonte climbed into second, while Placerville's own Shane Hopkins battled his way into third. Forsberg took the checkered flag over Chiaramonte, Hopkins, Morgan and Robinson in the top-five. Chiaramonte capped a strong weekend after finishing on the podium at Chico the previous night. Hopkins should also be commended for an excellent drive in the feature to earn a podium spot. Rounding out the top-10 were Bubba Decaires, Corbin Rueschenberg, Michael Faccinto, DJ Freitas and Tony Gomes. A total of 32 Sprint Cars competed at Mother's Day Madness. Isaiah Vasquez began the evening by earning the ADCO Driveline & Custom Exhaust Fast Time Award with a lap of 10.781. First-time winners are always a fun part of the program and that came to fruition last night, as Yuba City's Rod Oliver accepted his initial Placerville Speedway checkered flag. The long-time Ltd. Late Model driver led all 20-laps, but it didn't come easy as Lincoln's Dan Brown Jr. hounded him every step of the way. Previous event winner Anthony Slaney also made moves running the high-scary side of the bullring to close in on the lead duo. In the end it was a non-stop affair with Oliver claiming victory over Brown, Slaney, Tyler Lightfoot and Jay Norton. The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks gave the crowd on hand their definite monies worth with an absolute barn burner in the main event. Orangevale's Tommy Sturgeon has been impressive during the early campaign and led laps once again on Saturday. Side by Side racing was prevalent all throughout the field in what was a non-stop 20-lapper. Around the halfway point Tribute to Al Hinds winner Kevin Jinkerson blasted into the lead and held command until Nick Baldwin went upstairs, taking over the top-spot. Exceptionally close competition was seen right down to the wire. The five-time Placerville champ Baldwin brought home the triumph over Jinkerson, a very fast Tyler Lightfoot, Dan Jinkerson and Sturgeon in the top-five. The Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks also provided a wild main event that almost went non-stop as well. Multiple different leaders were seen with Mike Miller, Howard Miller, Austin Struthers and Thomas Jensen all fighting for the top-spot at times. H. Miller found himself out front following the midway point, but an exciting exchange occurred on lap 16 that saw M. Miller come out ahead. Mike Miller grabbed the checkered flag ahead of Howard Miller, Jensen, Luke Costa and Paige Miller. Placerville Speedway will take a couple weeks off before coming back with one of the biggest events all season. The two-night Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial weekend occurs on Friday and Saturday May 31st and June 1st. Opening night is headlined by the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour, while the NARC 410 Sprint Cars invade the track for the only time in 2024 during the finale.

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

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

- Trey Jacobs adds his name to the record books at Fremont Speedway; Sebetto wins thrilling 305 feature; Miller earns 2nd straight track victory
FREMONT, Ohio - Trey Jacobs added his name to the family win list at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction on Ohio Truck Sales/Autokiniton Night, Saturday, May 11. He joins his father Dean, Uncle Kenny and Cousin Lee to have won sprint car features at "The Track That Action Built." The Wooster, Ohio driver grabbed the early lead in the 30-lap Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint feature, maintaining the point until a restart on lap nine. Sean Rayhall then took the point but Jacobs fought back and the pair waged an entertaining battle until Jacobs regained the top spot on lap 13. Jacobs began to pull away but a pair of cautions erased over three second leads. Californian Kalib Henry drove into second on lap 16 but could not keep pace with Jacobs despite the pair of cautions. A red with two laps to go set u a shoot-out but Jacobs hit his marks perfectly and drove to the win over Henry, 16th starter Zeth Sabo, Cale Thomas and Rayhall. Thomas' fourth place finish will keep him atop the point standings for the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads-Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group. "I needed this badly. I feel like I gave one away a hand full of years ago here…led until the last lap. We've come so close and honestly this year has been a complete struggle. Shit breaking…dumb stuff. Finally to get this win here means a ton. I love Fremont Speedway…this race track was bad ass tonight. It had a good top, bottom, good curb," said Jacobs in the Beaverdam Fleet Services Victory Lane. "I was good in open air at the beginning and when I caught those lapped cars I was getting tripped up in the curb and the one yellow after Sean got by was pretty timely. I saw my guys motion for me to try the bottom and I was able to go down there and it was really good. If I didn't make any mistakes and hold the bottom I'd be okay. I have to thank Jerry McClure and Jeff Weinberg for giving us the equipment to run and all our sponsors, Harbaugh Electronics, B&B Drain Service, Holmes Cheese Co., Smithville Manufacturing, Vib-Iso, Burgett Insurance, Brent Coffman Trucking, DJ's Aircraft Maintenance, Dac Vitamins and Minerals…everyone who has helped out…it's a real family operation here," added Jacobs. The Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature had fans on the edge of their seats. Zack Kramer led the opening lap but Seth Schneider charged into the lead on the second circuit only to surrender the point to Jamie Miller on lap six. Miller built up a second and half lead while Bryan Sebetto charged into second. A caution with seven laps to go put Sebetto on Miller's rear bumper and the pair didn't disappoint with Miller driving on the bottom and Sebetto ripping the cushion. The pair nearly touched battling for the lead several times with Sebetto finally getting by on lap 21. Miller fought back and regained the lead with just two laps to go. Racing into lapped traffic on the final lap, Sebetto and Miller split a lapped car making contact exiting turn four the drag race was on with Sebetto edging Miller by .058 seconds for his 26th career Fremont victory. Dustin Stroup, DJ Foos and Schneider rounded out the top five. Miller added to his lead in the points for the NAPA of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales with his runner-up finish. "Hats off to Jamie. He raced me hard but ran me clean. He left me room when I was coming off the top of turn four. It's things like that you remember. Some of these young kids don't understand that when you race someone with respect it comes around. Jamie raced me with respect and I have nothing but respect for what he's done and what that team has accomplished," said Sebetto beside his Sandusky Bay Remodeling, JLH General Contractor, Sandusky Bay RV Rentals, KH Suspension, Overwatch Prescition, Commercial Glazing Systems, NAPA of Fremont, Clay Keim, Depot Pizza, CA Kustoms backed #01. "We worked really, really hard this off-season with these cars. It's a brand new race car, one of Bubba Riehl's RCF Chassis that me Jamie (Miller) and Bubba's brother (Logan Riehl) are the only ones on them to best of my knowledge. Level built us a new motor over the winter.Kevin Schlachter has spent so much time and money on this race team for Seth (Schneider) and me to win," added Sebetto. Miller grabbed the lead on lap three and withstood several challenges from Keith Sorg before driving away to his second straight Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature win at Fremont. Miller, aboard the Ron Miller Race Cars, Fostoria Mod Shop backed #4M, earned his 47th career Fremont victory, placing him ninth on the track's all-time win list. "This thing just rolled the bottom so nice I just had to make sure I didn't mess up," said Miller.

- Mintz gets late race pass for 410 Attica win; Schlenk, Markham split late model victories; Miller comes to life for 305 win
ATTICA, Ohio - Craig Mintz was able to maneuver his car anywhere he wanted on a fast Attica Raceway Park Friday, May 10 and it paid off for his 17th career 410 sprint car victory at "Ohio's Finest Racing" venue on Edward Jones Investments-Mike Neill financial advisor/American Powersports Night. The Gibsonburg, Ohio driver - a former Attica 410 sprint track champion - executed a perfect slider on race-long leader Greg Wilson to take the lead on lap 26 of the 30-lap Callie's Performance Products 410 Sprint feature and drove to the $4,000 win over Wilson, Cap Henry, Zeth Sabo and DJ Foos. Henry's third place run helps him close the gap in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads-Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group points as he looks to defending his series' title. "When the tires actually cooled down we got faster. We were really good for about three laps there. Three and four was just kind of hold your own at the top and if you could gain ground in one and two…which this race car could…that helped you get runs down the back stretch to do those sliders. Hats off to these guys, Chris, Rich, my dad, my wife and kids. We do this part time and we like to have fun," said Mintz beside his Real Geese Decoys, Modern Woodman of America, Seagate Sandblasting, Brown Family Construction, Linder's Speed Equipment, Bettsville Legion, DMI Racing, Keizer Wheels backed #09. The Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Models had a busy night at Attica Raceway Park. First a 25 lap make-up feature from last week was held that produced a bizarre and exciting finish. Rusty Schlenk led the first 20 laps but a radiator hose let go and put water down and second place challenger JR Gentry spun. Schlenk went pit side and Ashland, Ohio's Ryan Markham who had also been challenging up front, took the lead and held off a late race challenge from Kyle Moore and Jeff Babcock for his 24th career Attica win worth $3,000. "I knew my car was pretty good and we were right there on them. Sometimes you have to take what you can get," said Markham of his B&B Drain Service, Beer Barrel Drive Thru, After Burner Performance, Chuys Tacos & Margaritas, Monster Motors, Last Mango Soap Company, Backin the Barn, Boutique, Ocala Restaurant Supply, Mar Trucking, Schaeffers Racing Oil by Kevin Hill, TGR Performance sponsored #5M. In the night's regular late model feature Schlenk took the lead from Gentry on lap 14 and held off a late race charge from Moore who had spun on the opening lap and came from the tail. Gentry, Gregg Haskell and Devin Shiels rounded out the top five. It was Schlenk's 40th career win in the late models at Attica. "We have a cooling problem obviously. We blew a radiator hose in the first feature. I was trying to baby it and I was trying to run around there half-throttle but Gentry was there and I over-heated it and blew the hose. That was a $3,000 loss for an $18 part. I was watching the board and I knew Kyle Moore was coming….he's been very good competition. We were running hot again so I wasn't trying to push it," said Schlenk beside his Buckeye Concrete Coatings, Terry Hendricks Auto Group, Velocita USA, Dominator Race Products, Tom Finch Auto, Domination Race Cars, All Star Performance backed #91. The Fremont Fence 305 Sprints also put on a fantastic feature event. Dustin Stroup grabbed the lead at the drop of the green and held the point for nine laps before John Ivy took over. Ivy continued to slice through traffic, leading until lap 20 when defending track champion Jamie Miller came to life. Miller had to fend off Ivy, then Paul Weaver and finally Bryan Sebetto to get his second win of the year at Attica and the 41st 305 win of his career at the track. Sebetto, Weaver, Ivy and Stroup rounded out the top five. "We were way to tight early but as the race went on and the fuel load burned off this car took off," said Miller beside his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kolb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty's Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy's Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed #26.

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

- TYLER ERB SCORES MLRA WIN IN "CINCO DE MAYO 40" AT ADAMS COUNTY SPEEDWAY (IL)
Wheatland, MO (May 5, 2024) - The Lucas Oil MLRA's return to the Adams County Speedway in Quincy, IL on Sunday night proved to be worth the wait, as Tyler Erb raced to a thrilling first career win under the Lucas Oil MLRA banner in the "Cinco de Mayo 40". A total of 30 drivers signed in for the third MLRA event of 2023 with Erb starting his night off in style by grabbing the My Race Pass "Overall Fast Time" Award with a lap of 12.647 seconds. Erb would go on to capture the first heat race of the night putting him on the pole for the 40 lapper. Other head race wins were claimed by Chad Simpson, Earl Pearson Jr., and Derrick Stewart. Erb jumped to the early race lead, which proved to be short lived as the nights first of four cautions waved on lap three for two time series champion Tony Jackson Jr. as he slowed on the speedway with a flat tire. Jackson would return and rally for a 13th place finish. After another quick spin caution for Sunoco Rookie of the year driver Aaron Marrant, the field would go green for another six laps with Erb at the point over Pearson and a high side hustling Derrick Stewart. Justin Duty slipped off the track in turn three and four while running inside the top ten on lap nine bringing out the third caution of the night. With Erb in control, Stewart would take the second spot away from Pearson momentarily, but the Ainsworth, IA driver could never mount a serious charge for the top spot and settled for an MLRA career best 6th place finish at the end. With the nights longest green flag stretch taking the field the final 29 laps, lapped traffic made its way into play over the course of the final 15 laps of the main event. Erb had used the low line the majority of the night on both ends of the speedway, and with side by side lapped traffic in his cross hairs the New Waverly, TX driver was forced to move around in the closing laps to overcome the side by side lapped traffic. Lapped traffic allowed Pearson to edge ahead a couple of times exiting turn four, but in the end it was Erb collecting the MD3 Most Laps Led while being credited with leading all 40 laps to earn the $5,000 MLRA payday. Pearson scored his best MLRA finish of the year with a second place run, with Gordy Gundaker grabbing the third spot on the podium. Garrett Alberson charged from 16th on the grid to another strong 4th place finish while current Midwest Sheet Metal Point Leader Chad Simpson rounded out the top five. "I didn't think one and two was going to be there, it was super sketchy," commented Erb of the top line of the "Broadway Bullring" from Lucas Oil Victory Lane. "In three and four under caution I was kind of seeing how big it was built up and I didn't think I needed to enter all the way up against it just because I thought I might drive out of here. If I hit that end just right, I could carry enough speed down the front straightaway and get back down in one and two." "I really like coming here," continued Erb. "Especially when it starts out wet like it was, hot laps it was sloppy and normally that tends to make a good race. Any kind of win is something to be proud of and I feel like we're headed in the right direction and just looking forward to racing next week. For the veteran Pearson, second was a great momentum builder for his Jason Rauen race team. "When he started moving around down here in three and four, I knew that was my opportunity. We got into lapped traffic there and everybody was lined up on the bottom and I didn't really want to move around too much. I could have down here maybe (one and two) but in three and four I couldn't. I knew this 11 car was down on the bottom (Gordy Gundaker) and I didn't want to give that up, so we rode around behind him. We got up alongside of him (Erb) and maybe led one lap, I don't know, but anyway it was a heck of a race in lap traffic. All-in-all it was a good weekend for us." "I felt like we were pretty good, just the lap traffic was pretty wild there," commented third place finishing Gundaker. "I was kind of making hay in three and four on the top where those guys weren't but everybody was kind of swinging out. All-in-all just what a great night, and what a great race track for all of the rain and everything they had it was awesome." The Lucas Oil MLRA will return to action on May 17th & 18th for a two night stand in Eastern Missouri.

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

- NARC NEWSLINE - MAY 4, 2024
NARC NEWSLINE - May 4, 2024, By Jim Allen … I'm sure we all agree when I say it's been a rough start to the 2024 season. Not just with the NARC schedule, but with just about every dirt track north of the grapevine in California. Mother Nature came bouncing out of her corner like a heavyweight champ with something to prove and pummeled motorsports into submission with wet weather. If the current trend continues, on a prorated basis, NARC would feature a whopping eight races in 2024. The worse thing about it is the weather has typically been perfect all week long, getting everybody excited, before bad weather rolls in on Friday and Saturdays. And not to leave the rest of the country out of the loop, the Outlaws and High Limit also know how to quickly find their rain gear. Because of the choppiness of the schedule, few in open wheel racing have been able to establish any real kind of "weekly" routine, making the natives restless and much of social media poison with the alleged expert opinions of the week. One driver and team that does have their act together this season is Cole Macedo and the Tarlton Motorsports team. Two-fer-two! They survived the unpredictable Battle Royale at Chico and mastered the newly remodeled Stockton Dirt Track before anybody else could. The Tarlton-team, with Drew Werner on the wrenches, is looking for their first NARC title since 2016. By the way, both NARC races had a "Road House" feel to them as only 10 of 24 starters finished at Chico, and 13 at Stockton. Silver Dollar Speedway was described as 1990's "old-school" rough, leaving aspiring drivers born in this century to struggle and figure it out. As luck would have it, Floracing capitalized on the Chico carnage for its ever-popular weekly crash highlight video … just from that one show. Man, that's an ego killer! But like clockwork, history always repeats itself. There's always a couple of events each year that look absolutely perfect on paper and then have you yelling at the steering wheel on the way home. The good news, those two are now behind us (fingers-crossed.) So with that, the NARC schedule has endured the the cancelation of the Dave Helm Memorial (3/9) and Peter Murphy Classic (4/13) in Hanford, the March Madness event at Merced (3/23), a postponement of the April 27th race at Stockton, and the postponement (yes, postponement) of today's Tulare's Chris & Brian Faria Memorial. So if you are keeping score, it's Mother Nature - 5, Cole Macedo and NARC - 2. Speaking of Stockton, everybody got their first glimpse on April 6th when the former 4/10's mile oval transitioned into a quarter-mile D-shaped bullring. As expected, the opinions were brutal despite the fact that it took a mad scramble to make the race happen in the first place. It also rained for two straight days leading up to the race and that didn't help the cause. It took a while to get the "new" Dirt Track raceable and the NARC heats didn't push off until 8:00 p.m. and the main at 11:13 p.m. (Our goal is to be done by 9:30 p.m.) Also in the pits was SCCT and they had their issues as well, including a longer than normal main event. When you added it all up, the NARC feature was called 27-laps complete at the stroke of midnight. For all of the conspiracy addicts out there, the drivers were informed by radio during the previous caution period that the scheduled 30-lapper was going to be considered complete at midnight no matter what happened. It "happened" with a multi-car crash and wasn't the way anybody wanted to end a chilly night. As Colt's Hall of Fame football coach Tony Dungy says in his book, "nothing good happens after midnight." Especially in Stockton! When all was said and done, the overall opinion of drivers and teams leaned more positive than negative and suggested improvements to make it even better. That's great news as promoter Tony Noceti is committed to the further evolution and improvement of the facility. After the show, he committed to building wider turns with more banking and a backstretch wall from turn two to four. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a ton of work and the weather didn't cooperate (try to act surprised) to allow those upgrades to be completed before our scheduled April 27th race. This postponed the event to a highly-anticipated Sunday Twilight Show on May 19th, the day after the NARC sprint cars invade Thunderbowl Raceway. (Twilight = Qualifying at 4:00 p.m.) That beats the tarnation out of another cancellation. We really need fans and teams to support this show as it could start a new trend and give race promoters another viable option. Other observers thought the Stockton postponement was the perfect opportunity for Peter Murphy to maneuver his April 13th rainout, better known as the Peter Murphy Classic, back into the schedule. However, Murphy already had a weekly show booked on that date. A few racing peeps wanted NARC to invade Kings Speedway which wasn't going to happen because the Central California locals barely have enough opportunities to race already. Not to mention, the PMC, an event filled with auctions, pageantry, and a pole shuffle, features a $50,000+ purse and needs avid fan support to support that obligation. When you figure in liability insurance, water, lights, marketing, track prep, security, garbage, officials and the like, the total expenses are closer to $70,000. And I'm being conservative. While many open wheel loyalists would attend a 7:00 a.m. Christmas morning sprint car show on short notice, the average fan which makes up 65% of any crowd would be home unwrapping gifts. In hindsight, the April 27th Kings crowd was average at best meaning a high-dollar PMC would have been a financial blood bath. It was the right call. With that being said, there is no official date for rescheduling the 10th anniversary of the PMC. Murphy has run the gauntlet to squeeze it in somewhere, but others barked back about conflicts. It appears that California promoters are battling for the same 1500 core fans. Let's hope we can figure this thing out. CALISTOGA SPEEDWAY: Some fans may have had unrealistic expectations that a race schedule would be released soon after the City of Calistoga and Napa County worked out their differences and finalized the sale of the fairgrounds. In reality that was just the starting point and best-case scenario, nobody will see a schedule until 2025. Tommy Hunt said way back in February that it would take his HMC Promotions team about six-months to promote and orchestrate the activities that surround the awesome two-day Louie Vermeil Classic weekend. Once racing is officially on the agenda, expectations will be at a Mount Everest-level as local politicians have the place under a microscope to make sure they made the right choice. That means an infield pit area packed with sprint cars, an overflowing grandstand, a Gold Cup type of feel, and race fans spending their money downtown. Otherwise, all of the pot-banging we did to get the historic half-mile reopened would have been for naught. All those who agree, say YAH! By the way, Tommy Hunt is undergoing serious health issues these days, and we wish him a speedy recovery. NARC NOTES: There are about 15 laps remaining to be sponsored for the June 1st Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial race in Placerville. Contact Karen Bradway-Tuccelli on Facebook if you are interested in sponsoring a lap in the 40-lap feature or 12-lap semi. … An entire nation gasped (on Floracing) when Ryan Robinson clipped the tractor tire coming out of turn two and flipped violently while leading at Silver Dollar Speedway at the Mini-Gold Cup NARC opener. While everybody, including wife Kylie, was attempting to comprehend what had just happened, Ryan had already managed to climb out of the Antaya Motorsports #16A and was stepping slowly to the pit area. His movements were purely instinctual as his eyes saw nothing but black after suffering his fifth racing-related concussion. Luckily, the safety crews caught up with him shortly thereafter. Ryan made an announcement a couple of days later that he is retiring from racing. You know it was a tough decision, but it was the right one. He knows that you can only scramble the eggs so many times. Never forget that this is a dangerous sport. … Willie Croft will be battling for the Skagit Speedway championship in Washington this year with "Rudeen" backing on his number 29 sprint car. He will be attempting to dethrone the defending champ, Trey Starks. … … Only six drivers have finished in the top ten in both races. Can you name them? How about … obviously Cole Macedo … Tanner Carrick, Bud Kaeding, Nick Parker, and rookies Gauge Garcia and Cadeen Steele. Carrick may be the most underrated driver in California with a sixth and third place finish in NARC competition, as well as two Ocean 360 wins to his credit. He is overdue to post his first NARC career victory. … Dominic Scelzi is back in California. He was planning to miss the first six NARC shows of the season while he was chasing races around the Midwest with the Outlaws and High Limit. As it turns out, he only missed two. He will be a "wild card" the rest of the season, attempting to steal victories as others chase the championship. … All, like in every single one of our events are on Floracing.com … David Castenada reports that work is underway at Santa Maria Speedway. After sitting dormant for a couple of years, the track needs serious love to make it race ready. Tony Pombo, who signed a lease-agreement for the place, is actively involved in the process. NARC invades Santa Maria on July 27th - right about the time temperatures hit 110 degrees in the Central Valley. … Justyn Cox cracked three ribs at the Chico opener. You know it was bad when he couldn't golf! ... … The new NARC 65th Anniversary Coloring Book is hot off the press. Thank you to Creative Finishes Plus and Andy & Candace Forsberg for sponsoring this project. Also, thanks to my wife Carol who did all of the artwork. We will pass them out to kids at upcoming events. … Which reminds me of a quick story from the last time we had a NARC coloring book in 2019. While handing them out to excited kids in Tulare, one impatient attractive woman (40ish) insisted on getting one for herself. I politely told her it's kids first, since we need to keep them engaged so their parents continue to bring them to the races. I said if there are any left, I would hook her up. A minute or two later, she impatiently works her way back in line and offers to flip up her shirt and show me the goods if I give her one. Excuse me, did I hear that right? Now I'm not going to say what actually happened at that point, but she walked away with crayons also. … THE ROAD TO THE DIRT CUP: It's hard to believe the Fastest Five Days in Motorsports are only about 40-days away. Based on phone calls, emails, and DM, there is going to be a large contingent of fans making this stellar road trip. It's going to be a parade going up Interstate 5. If you haven't locked down your tickets yet, each track's website is ready to serve them up. By the way, the five FFDM shows pay $5,000 to win and $600 to start the A. The Northwest Focus Midgets will be the support division for the first four events. They put on a great show. From the FFDM Father's Day finale at Grays Harbor Raceway, we continue North to the Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup. That group is busy putting together fan engagement activities for this showcase event. I'm spearheading the Super Dirt Cup Charity Golf Tournament on Wednesday, June 19th - the day BEFORE the three-days of racing kicks off. We are looking to accomplish two things … build on the "Club" in Northern Auto Racing Club by having an enjoyable day at the nearby Avalon Golf Links.

- Henry rebounds with AFCS Fremont victory; Ivy earns 62nd Fremont win in 305s
FREMONT, Ohio - It's said in racing in order to succeed you need to have a short memory. Have a bad night? Put it behind you and move to the next race. That held very true for Cap Henry Saturday, April 27 at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction. Henry, who claimed the Fremont Speedway 410 sprint crown, the Attica Fremont Championship Series title and the Attica Raceway Park title in 2023, missed the feature Friday at Attica. He put it behind him on Level Performance/Gressman Powersports Night at Fremont, leading all 30 laps of the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main to score the $4,000 payday. Henry had to survive a late race caution to earn his 19th career victory at "The Track That Action Built." He held off a charging Travis Philo, DJ Foos, last week's winner Cale Thomas and Friday night's Attica winner Skylar Gee to visit the Beaverdam Fleet Services Victory Lane. "I never doubted Zack (Myers) and my guys. We've either been really fast or we shouldn't be at the race track. It's either we win it or don't show up. Zack went through this thing front to back today. He never gives up. We really got lucky there at the end with the cautions. I had ripped off all the tear-offs that thing by like lap 10 and I was just hanging on," said Henry of his Jeff Ward Demolition, Premier Planning Services, Ohio Logistics, Primal Tee Shop, Elliott's Custom Trailers and Carts, FK Rod Ends, Griff's Engines backed #33W. Thomas' fourth place run will keep him atop the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group standings. The Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature came down to the last lap. A caution necessitated a green-white-checkered finish and in the final corners on the last lap leader John Ivy and Friday night's Attica winner Tyler Shullick raced side by side and banged wheels. Ivy held off Shullick for his 62nd career Fremont victory. Shullick, Jamie Miller, Bryan Sebetto and Seth Schneider rounded out the top five. Ivy, who is now tied for fourth on Fremont's all-time win list with Gug Keegan, put himself in contention for the title of the NAPA of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales. "I saw Tyler stick his nose down there and I thought well I have to try something. I knew Tyler wouldn't take me out…he's a good racer and he will win his fair share. I just have to get as many as I can now…I'm not getting any younger," said Ivy beside his C&N Construction Supplies, Atkinson Farm, Pub 400, Fox Painting, Sonny's Machine & Welding, Kistler Racing Products, Level Performance, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Level Performance, Level Utilities, SC Atkinson Farms, MRE of Ohio, Welty Financial Services, Dave Story Equipment & Repair, Napa of Bryan, Minich Installations, Meade Motorcars backed #49i Heavy rains struck the speedway just prior to the planned drivers' meeting which caused an over three hour delay in getting the racing surface in shape. Because of the lateness, Fremont Speedway Promoter Rich Farm approached the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck teams about cancelling their portion of the night's program in exchange for doubling their purse - from first in the A-feature to last in the B-feature - for next week and the majority of the teams were in agreement. Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction will be back in action on Family Fun Night, Saturday, May 4 with the dirt trucks, 305 sprints and the USAC D2 Midgets in action.

- Gee gets thrilling 410 Attica win; Schlenk slices to late model victory, Shullick earns 1st 305 win
ATTICA, Ohio - Skylar Gee not only held off challenges from Tim Shaffer and Brady Bacon and a late race caution, but the Canadian driver also defeated Mother Nature Saturday, April 26 at Attica Raceway Park on Baumann Auto Group/Craig Miller Trucking/North Central Electric/Bucyrus Road Materials Night. Following two rain delays, Gee, aboard the Fenton Racing #99, started seventh in the Callie's Performance Products 410 Sprint Feature that featured position changes throughout the field during the 30-lap affair. Gee worked his way into second just past the half-way point behind leader Tim Shaffer and used lapped traffic to take the lead on lap 18. Brady Bacon was closing late in the race when the caution flew with just four laps to go. Gee utilized the clear track to drive to his third career win at Attica over Bacon, Emerson Axsom and Dale Blaney. "I made the move for second and the yellow came out and I was a little worried. I struggled to get going after that and finally got a rhythm back and was able to get by Shaffer when he got slowed up. There were so many guys criss-crossing everywhere on the track. Thanks to my dad and Rog for working hard all week. We've had our teeth kicked in the past couple of weeks so it feels good to rebound like this. I have to thank Logan and Becky for standing behinds us," said Gee beside his Warrior Building Development, Building Packages Direct, Pack Rat Dumpsters, Castle Rock Enterprises, Pat Beck Motorsports, FK Rod Ends, Nelson Brothers backed machine. The Dirt Nerds Podcast presented by Propane UMP Late Model feature was also very entertaining featuring side by side battled throughout the 25 lap affair. Clint Coffman lead the opening lap before defending track champion and fourth starter Devin Shiels took over. The lone caution came on lap three and once the green flew, the battles up front continued. Seventh starter Rusty Schlenk used lapped traffic to take the lead with just seven laps to go and picked his way through dense traffic for his 39th career late model win at Attica over Shiels, Doug Drown, Nathon Loney and Mike Bores. "That was a heck of a race. That was quite the battle. I knew I had to be patient. Devin was really good…I didn't think I could pass him in the open so I had to be patient and save my stuff and hope to God we would get into lapped traffic and that's exactly how it worked out. I got lucky and picked through lapped traffic a little better than he did. It doesn't seem like that long I ago I got my first win here. I love this place. It always turns out you can race all over this place," said Schlenk beside his Buckeye Concrete Coatings, Terry Henricks Auto Group, Velocita USA, Dominator Race Products, Tom Finch Auto, Domination Race Cars, All Star Performance supported #91. The Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature saw five different lead changes between Tyler Shullick and Steve Rando during the 25 lap event that saw only one caution. Shullick bolted into the initial lead but fourth-starter Rando used heavy lapped traffic to close and take the lead on lap 11 only to see Shullick drive back by the next circuit. Rando blasted back into the lead on lap 17 but Shullick maintained his composure and took it back a lap later. A caution with just six laps to go would see defending track champion Jamie Miller challenge Shullick and Rando for the lead on the restart. Shullick moved his line to the high side and drove away to his first Attica win over Rando, Miller, Bryan Sebetto and Jimmy McGrath. "I knew when I saw Rando…Rando only runs one line and that's on the catch fence. So I figured Rando is here so there's something up there. I took his line for a few laps. I want to thank Sonny (Conger)….it's his birthday so I hope he's watching from home. He's done a lot for me. Atkinson Farm, Griff's Engines and Machine, LR Custom Karts, my mom and dad, Sam Kontos…I put a lot of trust in him. I live and die by making a lot of calls and I just follow his suit now and we work really well together," said Shullick. After Friday's event, the point battles in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship 410 Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group and the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship 305 Series Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales have tightened up.
