  Jason Martin Returns To ASCS National Victory Lane At Lake Ozark Speedway!

  Bryan Hulbert - ELDON, Mo. (May 28, 2023) Bouncing back at Lake Ozark Speedway, Jason Martin captured his fourth win of the season with the National Tour of the American Sprint Car Series and first of his career at the one-third-mile oval. The eighth time Jason Martin has topped the American Sprint Car Series National Tour, the Lake Ozark win is his first in the state of Missouri. Adding to his runner-up finish on Friday, Martin shot the outside on the start to capture the lead over Blake Hahn. Fending off the challenge from the DriveWFX.com No. 52 in traffic, Martin went on to lead the full 30-lap feature event. "I felt like I needed to get out front early because I really figured the top was going to be the dominant place to be, but I was worried it was going to be slimy still on the start. Blake took off really good on the bottom, and I spun my tires in the middle, so I just decided to rip the top, and it worked," explained Jason of the start. Able to hold on to the runner-up spot after several attempts by Joe B. Miller to take it, Blake Hahn was ultimately joined on the podium Seth Bergman, who has finished on the podium in seven consecutive outings with the ASCS National Tour. Taking advantage of a couple of restarts in the closing laps, Miles Paulus raced from ninth to fourth, with Jordon Mallett rebounding from a failed ignition box at the start of the night, to earn the KSE Hard Charger with a run from 21st to fifth. Jace Park crossed sixth, followed by Kyle Bellm. Brandon Anderson made up five positions to finish eighth, with Joe B. Miller slipping to ninth on the final laps with a failing tire. Howard Moore made up five spots to complete the top ten. Sunday night at Lake Ozark Speedway featured a 27-car field, with Joe B. Miller setting the overall quick qualifying time at 12.428-seconds. A trio of AR Dyno Specialty Heat Races went to Colton Hardy, Jason Martin, and Jace Park. The BMRS B-Feature was topped by Terry Easum. Provisional starts were used by Christopher Townsend and Kyler Johnson. The American Sprint Car Series is back on track on Friday, June 2, at Outlaw Motor Speedway and Saturday, June 3, at Caney Valley Speedway. The two events make up the Mickey Walker Classic, with each night paying $4,222 to win, $422 to start. The 2023 season will mark the 32nd year of competition for the American Sprint Car Series. Spearheaded by the American Sprint Car Series National Tour, the ASCS Nation includes Regional Tours that encompass both wing and non-wing competition.

  After a wild Show-Me 100, Moran declared the winner after Thornton's post-race penalty

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 27, 2023) - The 31st annual Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism was wild and crazy, rough and tumble and had post-race controversy. They'll certainly be talking about this one for a while. Devin Moran, second under the checkers, was declared the victor when apparent race-winner Ricky Thornton Jr. was penalized four positions in post-race inspection. "What the hell?" Moran asked in victory lane after claiming the $50,000 first prize. "This is like the best, worst win of my life. I just won the frickin' Show-Me 100 and $50,000, but Ricky was the best car in the field." Moran, 28 of Dresden, Ohio, claimed the win in his SSI Motorsports Longhorn chassis after he finished just under one second behind Thornton. But a few moments later, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series officials announced that Thornton's car was in violation of the "droop rule" regarding the height of the rear deck. Tim McCreadie wound up officially in second with Spencer Hughes third, defending champion Chris Ferguson fourth and Thornton eventually penalized to fifth place. Local favorite 19-year-old Dillon McCowan of Urbana was sixth. Thornton, of Martinsville, Ind., led the final 43 laps in a race that turned into survival of the fittest with 13 caution flags and a track that had plenty of character - especially over the final half of the event. Asked how long it was going to take for it to set in that he was a Show-Me 100 champion, Moran shook his head. "I have no idea," Moran said. "There might be an asterisk by it, but it's gonna pay 50 grand one way or the other, so we're gonna take it. And we're gonna drink some beer tonight." The Ricky Thornton Jr. Facebook page posted afterward: "3/8th of an inch high on droop after the left rear chain broke. A $50,000 win taken away for less than half an inch after a parts failure on THAT track. sickening." The biggest question coming into the event was if anyone could beat Jonathan Davenport this week at Lucas Oil Speedway. Davenport started alongside Thornton on the front row and led the first 58 laps - after leading every lap in winning preliminary features. Davenport survived nine caution flags to lead the first 58 laps in a race that took 50 minutes to complete 50 laps. Thornton pulled alongside Davenport on lap 54, but couldn't complete the pass. The duo traded sliders the next time around with Davenport still hanging onto the point as Hughes watched from third. Finally, for the first time this week, Davenport lost the lead as Thornton edged past on the inside out of turn four on lap 58. This was after Davenport had led 142 of 142 laps including the two preliminary night features. Thornton, by contrast, had picked up 29 positions on Thursday and Friday. He was able to weave through lapped traffic to open a nearly one-second lead over Davenport by lap 66. Then came caution No. 10 for a slowing Hudson O'Neal in turn two. O'Neal, the 2021 winner, had rallied from 20th to as high as sixth and was in eighth when he lost power. Thornton was able to open up a 2.7-second lead by lap 72 as Davenport had a similar cushion over third-place Hughes. Davenport started to close the gap in lapped traffic, getting within one second by lap 79. Davenport slipped way high in turn four on lap 83, almost hitting the wall. The cost him dearly as Thornton's lead expanded to 5.3 seconds - or about a full straightaway's margin. By lap 90, it was a runaway as Thornton led by seven seconds as Davenport's handling went away. Overton rode into second, but it appeared all Thornton's race by then. But Chad Simpson hit the backstretch wall on lap 96 to bring out the caution and wipe out Thornton's 5.3-second lead over Overton. That set up a four-lap shootout to determine the outcome. They were unable to get a lap finished after the restart as Overton hit the wall while battling with Moran out of turn four. "I drove like an idiot and wrecked the 76," Moran said. "I'll probably get a black eye when we get back to the pits, but the hell with it. We won the race, I guess." That sent Davenport back to second for the restart with Moran third and Hughes fourth. Davenport slowed on lap 98, apparently running out of fuel to bring out the 13th caution. Davenport, the 2015 winner, limped to the pits and settled for a 10th-place finish. Thornton was able to hold on during the green-white-checkered finish and beat Moran to the checkers by .904 seconds. The race took one hour, 19 minutes to complete. Then came the fateful trip to the tech building and Moran's unsuspecting trip to victory lane. "I want to thank Kevin Rumley and all of Longhorn," Moran said of the renowned engineer from North Carolina and the chassis he was driving. "Our crew has worked their (butts) off. We've worked as many hours as you could imagine this week." McCreadie said he felt fortunate to win up second and pocket $20,000. His car jumped the cushion and he fell back to eighth on the restart that saw Moran and Overton's incident bring out the caution. "Another hip check and there it was, another guy stuck in the boards," McCreadie said, using a hockey analogy. "We just do our best, we got some luck and we'll take it. It's a shame what happened to Ricky." Ferguson rallied from 16th to fourth, finding a different sort of race track that in his victory a year ago. He also was able to walk away feeling good, all things considered. "We're pretty happy. The crew has worked their butts off this weekend after we threw this car together in a couple of days," Ferguson said. "We'd have loved to have seen that cushion go down a lot faster. I'm just blessed to be up here on the front stretch again. "Congratulations to Devin. I know he's been looking for a win like this for a while. I'm happy to see him get it. I hate it for Ricky. Any time the track is rough like that, you're gonna have stuff happen. It was a good race, though. I know the fans thought it was exciting coming out of four there a couple of times" McCowan, who was a Show-Me 100 spectator sitting in the grandstand two years ago and competing in a USRA Modified at the event in 2022, was overjoyed with his finish. He started sixth, fell back to 13th for a time and rallied late while staying out of trouble. "It was awesome," McCowan said of his weekend. "I couldn't have scripted it out any better. I just wanted to make the show and not get lapped. This is pretty crazy It was a fun race. The track had a lot of character."

USRA Modified feature goes to Wheeler: Chad Wheeler of Muskogee, Okla., won the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature in a race declared over two laps shy of its planned 30 laps after a power outage took away the front stretch lights. The race was under caution on lap 28 when the lights went down. He was leading runner-up Robbie Reed by 1.6 seconds when a caution flew just before the outage. Wheeler earned $2,000 for the victory with Reed second, Ryan Middaugh third and Paden Phillips fourth. "A win's a win. You don't see that happen very often," Wheeler said. "What was scary, you couldn't see the flagman. What an awesome race track Lucas gave us. You could race all over it." Matt Johnson led the way through 11 laps before Wheeler, rallying from a sixth-starting position, took the lead on lap 12. Middaugh also drove past Johnson and those two quickly opened up a 10 car-length margin over third place. Middaugh slid past Wheeler for the top spot on lap 18, but just two laps later, Wheeler returned the favor with a pass heading into turn three. Wheeler, who won a preliminary feature on Thursday, led the rest of the way.

  Joe B. Miller Breaks Through With ASCS National At Lake Ozark Speedway!

  Bryan Hulbert - ELDON, Mo. (May 27, 2023) So many laps led over the years. Finally, Missouri's Joe B. Miller led the last one Saturday night at Lake Ozark Speedway for his first career victory with the National Tour of the American Sprint Car Series. The 166th different winner with the American Sprint Car Series, Joe became the 13th Missourian to win with the National Tour, joining names like Brian Brown, Danny Lasoski, and Jesse Hockett to name a few. Almost a spectator, Joe B. Miller borrowed an engine from Scotty Milan, as his is still getting worked on. "I have to thank Scotty Milan. We didn't have an engine for this weekend, and he wasn't able to come in, so I called and asked if I could use his, and he said go for it." Adding to his success across numerous divisions at Lake Ozark, Joe said, "We got the regional win, but we've been working on getting this National Tour win for a little bit. We've been hit and miss, so this is pretty cool. It's a relief really. We were talking this week that we've been pretty good here in just about everything. We were just lacking the National Tour win." Getting the lead from the start, Miller had to fend of Seth Bergman with five laps to go. Moving just off the cushion, the Corridor Electric No. 23 was quick to Miller's back bumper. Pulling under the No. 51b off the fourth turn, Seth got next to Joe, but could not clear into the first turn. Going on the defense, Miller adjusted and held on for the win. Slipping by for second on Lap 22, Jason Martin posted his 20th career ASCS National podium finish. Pushing his podium streak to six on the season, Seth Bergman grabbed third. Moving up from 11th, Landon Britt crossed fourth, with Howard Moore fifth. Kyle Bellm, in sixth, was chased by Miles Paulus, who was the night's KSE Hard Charger, after gaining 11 positions. Matt Covington was eighth, with Brandon Anderson ninth. Moving up ten spots, Michael Day completed the top ten. Night 1 of the Spring Sprint Showdown included a 32-car field with Blake Hahn, the overall quick qualifier at 12.389-seconds. Four AR Dyno Specialty Heat Races went to Matt Covington, Howard Moore, Seth Bergman, and Joe B. Miller. The BMRS B-Feature was won by Gunner Ramey. The Spring Sprint Showdown at Lake Ozark Speedway continues on Sunday, May 28. Hot Laps are at 6:30 P.M. and Racing at 7:30 P.M. (CDT). Tickets are $25 for adults, $22 for seniors, $10 for youth (6-12), and $40 for the Pits. The 2023 season will mark the 32nd year of competition for the American Sprint Car Series. Spearheaded by the American Sprint Car Series National Tour, the ASCS Nation includes Regional Tours that encompass both wing and non-wing competition.

  Austin McCarl Unstoppable With American Sprint Car Series At Lakeside Speedway!

  Bryan Hubert - KANSAS CITY, Kan. (May 26, 2023) Getting his second career victory with the American Sprint Car Series Friday night, Iowa's Austin McCarl ran to the lead on Lap 16 and never looked back at Lakeside Speedway. "I felt like I was just as good as Seth early, but we just couldn't get to traffic or get off the cushion; then Dover came and schooled us all there on the bottom for a while, and just had to wait for traffic," said McCarl of the race. "Really happy to get one, you know I started to get tight, and you never know how good of a lead you have, so I was just trying to go as hard as I could." Charing forward from the fifth spot, the Country Builders No. 88 raced to second through a pair of starts as Seth Bergman took off with the lead. Both working topside around the four-tenths-mile oval, Austin fell to third on Lap 7 as Jack Dover rolled by on the inside. Taking the point from Seth on Lap 9, the No. 23 tried to shoot under Dover into the third turn a few laps later but found the door slammed. A wild save by the Bryant Paver Motorsports No. 23; that allowed McCarl to move into the runner-up spot. Building his momentum on Dover, the race for the point came on Lap 15, with McCarl nearly taking the spot. Able to carry the momentum through on Lap 16, Austin took over the lead and began pulling away. Working through several cautions during the race, the final stoppage came on Lap 20 as the field had to go under an open red for fuel. Wasting no time at the drop of the green, McCarl was a blur the closing five laps, with a 2.210-second advantage at the drop of the checkered flag. Jack Dover crossed second in his first race of the season in his Certified Transmission No. 53, with Seth Bergman keeping his podium steak alive in third. Blake Hahn crossed fourth in his first ASCS National start of the season, with Colton Hardy moving ahead four spots to fifth. Earning the KSE Hard Charger of the night, Matt Covington tore through the field 13 positions to sixth. Jace Park was seventh from 14th, with Joe B. Miller, Jordon Mallett, and Sawyer Phillips completing the top ten, Friday's field included 28 drivers. The Driver's Project quick qualifier was Jace Park at 15.446-seconds. A trio of AR Dyno Specialty Heat Races went to Austin McCarl, Jack Dover, and Landon Britt. The BMRS B-Feature was topped by Gunner Ramey. One provisional was used by Michael Day.

  Davenport does it again, capturing Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson to nail down Show-Me 100 pole

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 26, 2023) - Jonathan Davenport's perfect weekend continued Friday night at the 31st annual Show-Me 100 Presented by the Missouri Division of Tourism. Davenport led all 40 laps to capture the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson at Lucas Oil Speedway, adding to his Thursday night Cowboy Classic triumph. He held off a late-charging Tim McCreadie to prevail by two car lengths for his 68th career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory and third win at Lucas Oil Speedway in 2023. The Blairsville, Ga., driver has led all 85 laps of the features the first two nights as drivers collected points to help determine the starting lineup for Saturday night's 100-lap, $50,000-to-win Show-Me 100. While "Superman" has earned $6,000 for each of the two victories so far this weekend, he now sets his sights on the big prize and will start from the pole of the 100-lapper. "I haven't got into traffic a lot to see how good our car really is," Davenport said, noting the toughest assignment awaits. "We've been fortunate to qualify good and we got lucky tonight to win the heat race and get to start on the front row. So, we've led a lot of laps but we haven't had to pass a lot of good cars yet. "I still think we have a lot of work to do to be able to seal the deal tomorrow," the 2015 Show-Me 100 winner added. "We get to start on the front row, though. It's going to be a long race. We've led 85 laps so far, just as long as we lead the last 85 tomorrow we'll be fine." The Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson honors the former owners of West Plains Motor Speedway, who started the Show-Me 100 in 1993. It was a dandy race as Davenport, despite leading every lap, had to fend off challengers throughout. Just as he did a night earlier, Davenport jumped to the lead on lap one and already had a 1.3-second command over Brandon Overton with Payton Looney in third when the race's first caution flew on lap four. By lap 10, Davenport's lead over Overton was a half-second with Jimmy Owens advancing from eighth to fourth and closing in on Looney for third. The leaders were able to avoid a pair of stalled cars that spun in turns three and four to bring out a lap-13 caution. Looney got a great restart to whip around Overton and into second. As the race reached the halfway point at lap 20, Davenport led Looney by 1.2 seconds with Overton right behind. Three laps later, the leaders caught lapped traffic with Looney pulling alongside Davenport on the low side, but unable to complete a pass. Twelfth-starting Mason Zeigler joined the top three to make it a four-car battle, first-to-fourth separated by 1.9 seconds when the event's third caution slowed the battle on lap 28.The race's return to green only lasted one lap as Zeigler slowed with mechanical issues, taking him out of contention. Overton used the restart to regain second, pushing Looney back to third with Jimmy Owens in fourth with 11 to go. Looney returned the favor to Overton on the restart and gave chase of Davenport on lap 30 but couldn't keep up. McCreadie, lurking just outside the top five much of the race, found his best speed late, moving around Looney with four to go and closed in on the leader. But Davenport, hugging the low groove, held on to beat McCreadie by .271 seconds. "I saw the white flag so I kind of floated through (turns) one and two, then I tried to block the bottom and the top on the last lap, because I had no idea where to be there," Davenport said. "It was good to see the 39 (McCreadie) first and second. As much as we run up and down the road ... we bounce a lot of ideas off one another." Both Davenport and McCreadie, the two-time reigning Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champion, drive Longhorn chassis. "I think everybody just came to use and we had a couple of restarts," McCreadie said. "We got up there and were fighting for it, but once JD kind of maneuvered it, I kind of was dead in the water. But we'll take a second and try to find some speed tomorrow." Ricky Thornton Jr., the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points leader, came from seemingly nowhere in the last few laps to finish third. Thornton started 24th and last after having to go to a backup car after engine issues after a third-place heat-race finish. He even had to visit the hot pits early in the feature to get an adjustment. "We just changed a couple of small things and after that, it took off," Thornton said. "Credit to my crew. They busted their butts. Looney, the 2020 Show-Me 100 winner and home crowd favorite from Republic, wound up fourth with Overton fifth. Looney, who missed Thursday's feature with mechanical issues, said he probably drove his car too hard in the first half of the race, battling with Davenport. "When I caught Jonathan in lapped traffic, nothing really mattered besides trying to pass him," Looney said. "I blistered the right rear really bad. I was just trying to hang on the last 10 laps. The right rear was pretty well toast at that point." Defending Show-Me 100 champion Chris Ferguson finished sixth while Owens was seventh. Jeff Herzog had fast qualifying time in Group A at 15.611 seconds, then went on to win his heat race to earn the feature-race pole. Owens posted a 16.104 time to lead Group B. Johnson takes USRA Modified feature: Matt Johnson of Archie took the lead from Ryan Middaugh with eight laps remaining and went on to earn the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature victory. Middaugh started on the outside front row and led from the start, with Johnson staying close as those two broke away from the rest of the field. Middaugh led by two car lengths at the mid point with third-place Dylan Hoover nearly five seconds behind the leading duo. Two laps later, Johnson was able to work his way to the inside and pass Middaugh coming out of turn four on lap 12 for the lead, as the leaders hit lapped traffic. Johnson was able to pull away from there to finish 2.9 seconds in front of Middaugh, the track points leader in the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified division. "Ryan did a really good job. We just kind of tucked in behind him and the track ogt better and better," Johnson said. "My car just pulled around there perfect and we're happy." Hoover was four seconds in back of Middaugh to earn third with Tyler Hibner fourth and Paden Phillips in fifth. The Modifieds, like the Late Models, accumulated points the first two night to help set their feature lineup for the Saturday finale which will be worth $2,000 to win. Saturday action: The Saturday program includes B Mains, the Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge and the Show-Me 100-lap feature event paying $50,000-to-win for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Lucas Oil MLRA. Pit gates open at 3 p.m., grandstands at 4 with pre-race concert from 5-5:45 p.m., opening ceremonies at 6, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. Lee Newton pre-race concert: Nutrien Ag Solutions will add to the fan experience on Saturday by presenting a pre-race concert from 5-5:45 p.m. featuring Nashville recording artist/songwriter Lee Newton. During pre-race ceremonies, Lucas Oil Speedway will honor the Veterans and Military as part of the Memorial Day Weekend. Newton will also serve as Grand Marshal for the Show-Me 100. She is a three-time Josie Music Award winner and the Josie Music Vocalist of the Year in 2020.

  Davenport strikes first with Cowboy Classic victory as Show-Me 100 kicks off at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 25, 2023) - Jonathan Davenport put an emphatic end to a rare lengthy winless streak, coming up big as the three-night run of the 31st annual Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism got rolling. Davenport led all 45 laps of Thursday night's 10th annual Cowboy Classic at Lucas Oil Speedway, a caution-free event for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA that took only 13 minutes, 19 seconds to complete. The Blairsville, Ga., driver led all the way, but needed to deftly weave his Longhorn chassis through lapped traffic and hold off an on-charging Ricky Thornton Jr. in the late going. Thornton pulled alongside the leader with three laps to go, but couldn't made the pass and finished about four car lengths behind Davenport. Davenport, the 2015 Show-Me 100 winner, picked up his 67th career victory in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and first since capturing Night Two of the Lucas Oil MLRA Spring Nationals on April 1. He earned $6,000 for the victory and valuable points toward starting position for Saturday night's $50,000-to-win, 100-lap grand finale. The racetrack was awesome for about the first 30 laps," Davenport said. "They caught me before I moved up enough. Hats off to the track crew they did a great job; they don't need to really overdo it for Saturday night. "We have been off a little bit. It's been a lot leading up this. We've learned a lot what not to do. We've learned somewhat what to do now to these race cars." "Thanks to my guys. This is awesome. Just glad to get back on a roll in front of them, maybe. We've been off a little bit. Actually, (Chris) Madden called me today and and me and him gave each other a little pep talk. I saw where he won (tonight) at New Sharon (Ohio). That was cool." Davenport joked that he was perhaps given a good omen earlier this week when he went to get treated for neck discomfort. I went to the chiropractor early this week," Davenport said. "She adjusted my neck and said 'you're going to race better this weekend. I got your head back on straight.' " The 10th annual "Cowboy Classic" is run in honor of the late Allen "Cowboy" Chancellor, the long-time owner of the Midwest Late Model Racing Association. Coming up on Friday night is The "Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson," who started the Show-Me 100 at West Plains Motor Speedway in 1993. It's also a $6,000-to-win feature for the Late Models with more points earned for the starting lineup for the Show-Me 100 main event. Davenport started on the outside of the front row and roared into turn three on the outside to pass pole-starting and local fan favorite Dillon McCowan to lead lap one. Ten caution-free laps saw Davenport stretch his command to nearly one second over Tyler Bruening with McCowan running third and Chris Simpson in fourth. By this point, the leaders had caught lapped traffic and most of them rolled around the high groove to pass the slower cars. Davenport was able to used the traffic to expand his margin over Bruening, leading by 2.1 seconds by lap 17 with the top four remaining unchanged since lap one. Meanwhile, Ricky Thornton Jr. rallied to fifth after starting 10th. Thornton's ascent continued as he got around McCowan for third on lap 22 and then sailed past Bruening just one lap later - but he still was 3.4 seconds behind the flying Davenport. Thornton started closing in with 10 to go, cutting Davenport's lead to less than a second. He closed onto the rear of the leader's car coming to the start-finish line of lap 38, before falling back by four car lengths. "I had a really good car. I think I found the bottom before a lot of guys did and that's how I got into second," Thornton said. As the duo weaved in and out of lapped cars, Thornton dove to the inside of turn three on lap 42 and made some contact. Davenport was able to hang on to his car and the lead and again open up about a five-car-length lead as he took the white flag. "I thought for sure I was spinning him out down there," Thornton said. "He moved to the bottom getting into three and I tried to squeeze down next to him. Luckily I didn't spin him around and he was able to keep going." "Superman" held on from there for his sixth victory of the season, outlasting Thornton by .967 seconds. Bruening finished third, McCreadie fourth and Spencer Hughes wound up fifth. Late Model rookie McCowan, 19, wound up sixth and picked up a solid points total toward Saturday's starting lineup. McCowan won his heat race to earn the pole for Thursday's feature. Davenport said the Show-Me 100 is one of a handful of events he's extra-hungry to win in 2023, after he made contact with a slower car and spun while leading late in last year's 100-lapper. "I had two or three races from last year circled on my calendar that I let get away, that we should have won," Davenport said. "I guess it all don't matter unless I'm back up here talking to y'all again on Saturday." It was a tough night for defending Show-Me 100 winner Chris Ferguson of Mount Holly, N.C. Ferguson failed to qualify for the Cowboy Classic after running seventh in his B Main. Payton Looney of Republic, the 2020 winner, also was a non-qualifier after mechanical issues in hot laps and damage to his car in his heat race. Four-time Show-Me 100 winner Jimmy Owens finished 10th and 2021 winner Hudson O'Neal was 21st. The Saturday program includes B Mains, the Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge and the Show-Me 100-lap feature event paying $50,000-to-win for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Lucas Oil MLRA. Pit gates open at 4 p.m. and spectator gates at 5 on Friday, with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. On Saturday, pit gates open at 3 p.m., grandstands at 4 with pre-race concert from 5-5:45 p.m., opening ceremonies at 6, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. Wheeler earns USRA Modified feature win: Chad Wheeler led all 20 laps, surviving a tangle with a lapped car midway just past the halfway point, to win the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified main event. Wheeler beat Jeff Cutshaw by 2.4 seconds as the Modifieds follow a similar path toward Saturday night's finale. Like the Late Models, they compile points the first two nights toward Saturday's $2,000-to-win feature. "This is a special place to win," said Wheeler, who has raced little the last couple of years as he's been focused on building WR1 simulators for iRacing that have become so popular for fans and even NASCAR raceres. Wheeler and Joe Duvall started up front and quickly pulled away from the field in the early going, with Wheeler in front and third-place Cutshaw three seconds behind Duvall. The leaders caught lapped traffic by the midpoint of the 20-lapper and Wheeler appeared to get the short end of contact with a slower car on lap 12 after Duvall went to the inside heading into turn one. But since Wheeler's car never stopped rolling and running order reverted to the previous lap, Wheeler restarted ahead of Duvall with nine laps to go. "I got to thinking out there while I was leading and I haven't led a race in a long time," Wheeler said. "I caught the lapped cars a lot faster than I thought I was going to. I really screwed up and ran over that guy. I'm glad I kept the motor running. I knew it was critical if we killed the car." "I have an incredible car. This is Cade Dillard's personal car and I'm glad Cade is giving us the opportunity," Wheeler said. "My driving will come back around and hopefully we can win another one this weekend." Cutshaw got around Duvall on the restart, but Wheeler pulled away. The Muskogee, Okla., driver prevailed by 2.4 seconds over Cutshaw with Dvall third, Ryan Middaugh fourth and Matt Johnson finishing fifth.

  BRODY ROA TAKES SECOND AT FARIA MEMORIAL - THIS WEEK HE TACKLES THE SALUTE TO INDY

  (Cypress, CA, May 24, 2023) Brody Roa turned in another strong performance last Saturday night at the 30th Annual Chris & Brian Faria Memorial at the Thunder Bowl Raceway. The Garden Grove, California driver started third in the 30-lap main and came home in second. He now has top-five finishes, including five wins, in all nine USAC/CRA races in 2023. This Saturday night he will be back at Perris Auto Speedway to contest one of the longest-running sprint car races in the USA, the Annual Salute to Indy. PAS 4_15_23=17=0084-3 (c)#B2F5.jpg Brody Roa finished second at the Thunderbowl last Saturday. Doug Allen Photo. Roa's trek to last Saturday's race should have been the second of the year for him at the Central California 1/3 mile banked oval. However, a March 25th race at the track was canceled due to rain. Thus, the race was his first on the lightning-fast oval since 2021. A pleasant day greeted the USAC/CRA competitors at the famous Thunderbowl that was staging its last race until October. Sixteen USAC/CRA cars showed up for the event. Roa was the fourth fastest among them when he put the white Inland Rigging #17R through its paces in qualifying and turned in a lap of 15.851. That time placed him in the fifth starting spot for his 10-lap heat race. At the end of the first circuit, he had diced his way to third and was second one lap later. By the time he arrived in the runner-up position, the leader had established a good size advantage. Roa methodically closed in and before the end of lap five, he had secured the top spot. From that point on he simply waltzed away from the field and won the heat by over a half straightaway. Looking for his fourth win in a row in the USAC/CRA Series and his first ever at the Thunderbowl, Roa started the 30-lap main event on the inside of the second row. On a track that was not easy to pass on, he peeked at the inside when the field roared into turn one on the opening go-around. Coming off turn three the first time, he swung wide and drove around the second-place car. Roa tried to relieve the leader of the top spot every time there was a yellow flag. However, on this night the leader was equal to those threats and was the fastest car on the track forcing "The Pride of Garden Grove" to take second place for the fourth time this year. "He was really good there in the feature," a gracious Roa said of first-time winner Tommy Malcolm. "I knew the restarts were my only shot. Even then I figured he could get back by us. That was huge for those guys and it was a long time coming. They are going to win some more this year." "I have struggled here (the Thunderbowl) and it is one of the places mentally I cannot figure out," he continued. I will take second. We are happy with that. If we click off finishes like that, there is nothing to hang our head about. Thanks to all of you who came out." Despite seeing his three-race win streak come to an end, Roa increased his point lead. He added 17 more points to his advantage and will head into this Saturday's race at Perris Auto Speedway with a 137-point cushion over the second-place driver. Saturday's race at Perris is the annual Salute to Indy. The prestigious race dates back to 1948, and the winner's list is festooned with some of the greatest names in sprint car racing. Two years ago in 2021, Roa added his name to that illustrious roll. Last year he made the Salute to Indy podium by finishing third. He enters this Saturday as one of the pre-race favorites. Spectator gates at Perris will open at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and the first race will be at 7:00. Adult tickets are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6 to 12 it is just $5.00 and children five and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking. The famous half-mile clay oval is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the City of Perris (92571). The track website is at the following link http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (951) 940-0134. The brand new Roa/Dunkel Inland Rigging team merchandise, including shirts, is now available. You can see the shirt design in the photo below. The shirts will be available in the pits at Perris or online at the following link https://bit.ly/3IDLNEZ. 346796104_1206749826660886_1723353253831807847_n.jpg As always, Roa would be more than happy to jump in a race car on his weekends off from the #17R.

  It's Show-Me 100 week at Lucas Oil Speedway and here are a dozen things to know

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 24, 2023) - It's almost time for dirt-track racing fans to converge on south-central Missouri for the annual three-day celebration of Late Model excellence and excitement. The 31st annual Show-Me 100 Presented by the Missouri Division of Tourism is coming up Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway, with many of dirt racing's elite drivers chasing the final-night big prize of $50,000. Before action commences, here's a look at a "Diamond Dozen" of story lines to watch as the best of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA converge on the "Diamond of Dirt Tracks." Could it be 'Fergy Time' again? Chris Ferguson of Mount Holly, N.C., scored a breakthrough victory in the 2022 Show-Me 100, taking the lead after a restart with a dozen laps remaining. It was the first crown-jewel victory for Ferguson who continued to show a great affinity for Lucas Oil Speedway, where he won the 2020 CMH Diamond Nationals. "It's a feeling like no other," Ferguson recalled earlier this spring of the checkered flag waving and pulling into victory lane a Show-Me 100 winner. "For me, etching your name in the history books is super cool. Us drivers want to win every race, but the big ones are the most important. Adding my name to the Show-Me 100 list is an accomplishment in a lifetime that some never accomplish." Check out a full story on Ferguson in the official Show-Me 100 souvenir program, on sale during the event in the Track Treasures Gift Shop. Ricky Thornton Jr. on the verge: If you're looking for a first-time Show-Me 100 driver to emerge, keep an eye on Ricky Thornton Jr. The Martinsville, Ind., driver finished a close second to Ferguson in the Show-Me 100 a year ago after earning seventh ih the race in 2021 and fifth in 2020. "RTJ" knows his way to victory lane at Lucas Oil Speedway, capturing the opening night of the MLRA Spring Nationals earlier this season, against a field full of Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series regulars. He's also red-hot, sweeping a pair of LOLMDS features last weekend in Iowa to catapult to the top of the series points standings. There's a trend favoring dramatic finishes: Since Jonathan Davenport led all 100 laps in dominating the 2015 Show-Me 100, the last six 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, but the average final pass since 2016 has been lap 72. No recent Show-Me is more memorable than 2016 when Jimmy Owens took over with just eight laps remaining. "Superman" ready to soar: Perhaps the driver to beat at any dirt track in which he enters is Jonathan Davenport, aka "Superman." The native of Blairsville, Ga., dominated in winning his only Show-Me 100 in 2015 and could be poised to win again after tuning up at Lucas Oil Speedway with a Night Two MLRA Spring Nationals victory in early April. The three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champion surpassed $2 million in earnings during an historic 2022 season. 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 a newcomer. Dillon McCowan, a 19-year-old from nearby Urbana, has moved up from Modifieds to Late Models in 2023 and will have many local fans cheering him on. Another Ozarks-area driver to consider is Lebanon's Tony Jackson Jr., a two-time Lucas Oil MLRA Series champion. New team, same goal for "New Deal" O'Neal: When Hudson O'Neal won the 2021 Show-Me 100, it was an emotional victory for the Indiana driver as he joined his father, Don O'Neal, to form the the only father and son to win the Show-Me 100. Hudson O'Neal, 22, is in his first season driving the Rocket house car and he's made a quick transition as he held the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points lead until last week and come to Wheatland just 40 behind Ricky Thornton Jr. Three nights, three features: 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. The Show-Me 100 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. Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge always dramatic: The final Late Model 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 last-chance race since 2013 with many exciting results. 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. Don't forget about the USRA Modifieds: Also in action each night will be the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds, who get a shot at running on the big stage and getting television time. They'll run a similar format as the Late Models, with full programs the first two nights including qualifying heat races and features, in which drivers will earn points toward a starting position in a $2,000-to-win, $200-to-start feature on Saturday. Each night, drivers will also collect track and USRA national points. All eyes on the sky: Everyone is optimistic that Mother Nature will finally cooperate and this will be the first year since 2018 that all three nights of the Show-Me 100 will go off without complications. The 2019 event was canceled due to storm damage, the 2020 Show-Me 100 was moved to a one-day show in July due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2021 and '22 races were affected by weather on the preliminary nights. As showtime nears, the forecast for south-central Missouri is for sunshine and warm temperatures. Lee Newton pre-race concert on Saturday: Remember to arrive early on Saturday as Nutrien Ag Solutions will add to the fan experience by presenting a pre-race concert from 5-5:45 p.m. featuring Nashville recording artist/songwriter Lee Newton. During pre-race ceremonies, Lucas Oil Speedway will honor the Veterans and Military as part of the Memorial Day Weekend as a nation. Newton will also serve as Grand Marshal for the Show-Me 100. She is a three-time Josie Music Award winner and the Josie Music Vocalist of the Year in 2020. Door panel auction for a great cause: In what's become one of the great traditions of Show-Me 100 weekend, Ozarks Area Racers Foundation Hall of Famer photographer Ron Mitchell's Door Panel Auction will return to the hillside between the spectator entrance and main grandstands. The silent auction, featuring door panels of many Late Model and USMTS drivers, has raised at least $60,000 over the years to benefit the American Cancer Society.

On May 26th 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 May 27th program and the 100-lap, $50,000-to-win main event. One of the highlights on the final night includes the Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge 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. The 24-car starting field of the Midwest Sheet Metal Challenge, sponsored by long-time racing supporters Chris and Jan Davis, pays $250 to start. The Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds also will be in action each night, also using programs Thursday and Friday to help set the feature lineup for Saturday's $2,000-to-win, $200-to-start feature. Chris Ferguson of Mt. Holly, N.C., is the defending champion of the Show-Me 100. Ferguson took over the lead on lap 88 of last year's event and held off Ricky Thornton Jr. to claim the victory, with Tim McCreadie capturing third.

  Misfortune spoils promising run for Alex Pokorski at Plymouth Dirt Track - Paul Pokorski makes 2023 season debut

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 23, 2023 - It was a case of what might have been for Alex Pokorski and the Akright Auto Racing Team as what was shaping up to be a career-best A-main run ended up being derailed by a mid-race mishap in Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car main event competition at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 20. An all-open wheel racing program, which also featured the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association and Badger Midgets, drew a field of 27 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars to the venerable third-mile clay oval, including Alex's father, Paul, who made his first start in nearly a year behind the wheel of Spyder Akright's 53A 360 Sprint Car. Alex opened the night by qualifying sixth overall with a lap of 13.540 seconds, while Paul qualified 16th overall in 13.992 seconds. Both Alex and Paul competed in the third 10-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car heat race with Alex rolling off third and Paul starting second. Alex advanced one spot to place second and Paul finished fourth as both Akright Auto Racing Team competitors earned transfer spots to the 25-lap 360 Sprint Car A main. After starting fifth in the PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car main event, Alex used a strong start to move past Kurt Davis into third on lap 3. After a caution on lap 6 for a spin involving Travis Arenz, Alex bolted past Ben Schmidt to take over second on lap 7. While the track started to lay rubber along the inside groove, Alex reeled in race leader Lance Fassbender as the leaders encountered lapped traffic on lap 12. Just as Alex began to pressure Fassbender for the top spot, the lapped cars of Chris Larson and T.J. Haddy collided in front of the leaders in turn four. With nowhere to go, Alex was collected in the incident, forcing him to retreat to the work area for repairs. After returning to the action in 18th place, Alex was able to pick up four spots over the final 10 laps to secure a 14th place finish a race won by Lance Fassbender. "I think qualifying and the heat race both went well," Alex said. "Having a good start to the night set us up well for the feature. The strategy for the feature is always to put yourself in a position where you have a chance to win. It was going well. I just got unlucky. "A lapped car drove into the corner too hard and spun right in front of me," he said. "I didn't have any time to avoid the two cars that spun ahead of me, and we ended up wrecking a header and nerf bar. The crew got me back out right away, and I was able to work back past a few cars. It was difficult to pass at that point with the track taking rubber again." Paul lined up 15th in the PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car A main and came home with an 18th place finish in his first time in the driver's seat since May 28, 2022. "I was reasonably happy with qualifying and the heat race," Paul said. "They went about as well as I would've expected after being out of the car for quite some time. "For the feature, we knew the track would rubber up and that's not my thing!," he said. "I don't have the patience to stay in line and ride and every time I tried to get out of line and make something happen, it just cost me spots. So, I was a little frustrated, but had some fun. I will be back in the car in two weeks on June 3rd for the Rayce Rudeen Foundation event at PDTR." The Alex Pokorski - Akright Auto Racing Team is set to travel to Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. for an Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car Series event this Saturday, May 27, which will also feature the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series and Badger Midgets. Pit gates open at 3 p.m., followed by spectator gates at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 6 p.m. In his Wilmot Raceway debut during an MSA 360 Sprint Car event last August, Alex recorded a strong fourth place A-main showing. "With Plymouth being off, we will be headed to Wilmot next week with the MSA," Alex said. "I'm excited to go back there, after doing well last year."

  TOMMY MALCOLM RETURNS TO PERRIS FOR THE SALUTE TO INDY AFTER HIS FIRST SPRINT CAR WIN LAST SATURDAY AT TULARE

  (Perris, CA, May 22, 2022) After several years of trying and numerous heartbreaking near misses, Tommy "Thunder" Malcolm scored the first sprint car win of his career last Saturday night at the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, California. This Saturday, the now 30-year-old returns to where it all started for him, Perris Auto Speedway, when Heimark Distributors Anheuser Busch presents the Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars in the prestigious "Salute to Indy." 348485036_219133337552386_9187311878713605917_n.jpg Tommy "Thunder" Malcolm, winner of his first sprint car main last Saturday, will be at Perris this Saturday. Lance Jennings photo. It was approximately 15 years ago that Malcolm began racing a PASSCAR Street Stock on the Riverside County half-mile clay oval. There he raced alongside his stepdad Dino Napier and his brother Johnny. It was also where he picked up the nickname "Thunder." His brother was dubbed "Lightning" so it was only appropriate that he was tagged with the "Thunder" moniker. At the time, Malcolm's age, diminutive size, and natural talent endured him to the fans. He followed his dad and brother into late model racing and quickly made a name for himself and was a threat wherever he raced. However, when the late model scene began to dry up in California, Malcolm had to find a new racing path and that path led him to sprint cars. He immediately proved to be as smooth in a sprint car as he was in a late model. With laps and experience came speed. Suddenly he became a contender and his first win was just around the corner. Then around another corner and another. Many times he was close to a win, only to have fate rob him of the victory. Perhaps the biggest disappointment for the fan-friendly racer came last year at the Bakersfield Speedway. Late in the main event he was leading and clearly had the fastest car. The victory was within his grasp but he suffered a flat tire during a yellow flag period. He pulled to the work area, his crew changed the tire and he had to restart at the back of the pack. He is such a popular driver that many of his fellow competitors lamented his misfortune with the flat tire. The same racers also lauded his victory on Saturday. The Bakersfield disappointment and the others accumulated along the way were all forgotten last Saturday night when Malcolm, who lives in Yucaipa, California, and who was making his 109th USAC/CRA start, began the race on the outside of the front row and led every inch of the way for his first sprint car victory. Appropriately, "Thunder's" first sprint car triumph came at the track named the Thunderbowl. "The track was hard to pass on last night and the advantage I had was being out front," Malcolm told host Dave Stall on Sunday's "Racer Radio Show." "I led all 30-laps. There had to have been six or seven cautions maybe. I was nervous on the restarts because I knew Brody (series point leader Brody Roa) was behind me. So every restart I did something a little bit different. I tried the top, I tried the bottom, I tried everything. We have been really close a bunch of times and finally to get that first win has been pretty nice." "The car is ready to go this weekend at Perris Auto Speedway. Believe it or not, we actually last night (Saturday at Tulare) tried a new set up for the first time ever. It worked great. We do a certain set up at every track we go to. It is just the fine changes after that. We are after that certain balance and I think it (the set up they used at Tulare) is going to work well for Perris. So, I am really excited." Malcolm's Win at Tulare makes him one of the favorites for Saturday's 70th running of the "Salute to Indy." The race started in 1948 when Dempsey Wilson won the first edition. Since that time some of the greatest drivers in sprint car racing history have won the event. The list includes National Sprint Car Hall of Famers Billy Wilkerson, Bob Hogle, Jimmy, Oskie, Colby Scroggin, Dean Thompson, Hal Minyard, Bubby Jones, Art Bisch, Brad Noffsinger, Rip Williams, Ron Shuman, Cory Kruseman, Richard "The Gasman" Griffin, and Lealand McSpadden. When Ascot closed at the end of the 1990 season, the "Salute to Indy" went into hibernation until Perris opened in 1996. Since then it has been held every year except for 2008 when it was rained out and 2020 when it was canceled due to Covid. Last year, Norco's Cody Williams became the third member of his family to win "The Salute to Indy." In 1983, his father Rip won his first of over 100 sprint car mains when he topped the "Salute to Indy" at Ascot. Cody's brother Austin leads the family with two wins in 2016 and 2018. Besides the Williams brothers, other past winners who will be competing on Saturday night are Matt Mitchell (2011 & 2013 winner) of Costa Mesa and Garden Grove's Brody Roa, who won the race in 2021. In addition to the Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprints, PAS Senior and Young Gun Sprints and the PASSCAR Street Stocks will also be in action. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing starting at 7:00. Adult tickets for Saturday's race are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. Kids 6-12 get in for $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking.

  "CROWN JEWEL WEEKEND" MLRA PREPARES FOR 31ST ANNUAL SHOW-ME 100  

  Wheatland, Missouri (May 22, 2023) - The Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) returns to the pristine Lucas Oil Speedway this weekend for the 31st Annual Show-Me 100 Presented by the Missouri Division of Tourism. The three-day racing affair will yet again pair the top drivers from the MLRA with their counterparts from the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) for a shot at the weekends $50,000 top prize. Drivers will battle for nightly points on Thursday and Friday in an attempt to lock into the big dance on Saturday. Thursday night will feature a complete show dubbed the "Cowboy Classic", in honor of longtime MLRA Series promoter & owner Allen "Cowboy" Chancellor. The winner will collect the coveted Cowboy trophy along with pocketing $6,000 to start off their weekend. Friday night will be round # 2 for qualifying action with another $6,000 to win preliminary "A" Feature. Friday's racing action honors the longtime owners of the West Plains Motor Speedway with the running of the "Tribute to Don & Billie Gibson". The Gibson's were instrumental in the inception of the Crown Jewel Show-Me 100, which began in West Plains in 1993 before moving to the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo in 2010. The pressure mounts on Saturday with last chance B-Mains followed by the Midwest Sheet Metal "Show-Me Challenge" race for non-qualifiers. The Show-Me Challenge, presented by long time supporters Chris & Jan Davis, will give the winner a chance to forego the winners check and tag the tail as the final starter in the Show-Me 100 or take the payday and watch the finale from sidelines. Tony Jackson Jr. won the event in 2022 and chose to pocket the $2,500 pay day. The weekend will culminate on Saturday night when the field battles it out in a 100-lap dash to see who will collect the $50,000 payday. Chris Ferguson of Mt. Holly, NC topped the field of 63 entries to record the biggest win of his career in 2022 over Ricky Thornton Jr. and Tim McCreadie. CHAD SIMPSON LEADS MLRA CONTINGENT-- Chad Simpson enters the weekend carrying the Midwest Sheet Metal Spoiler as the series point leader, holding onto a 175-point advantage over brother Chris Simpson. Chad Simpson has had a number of good runs at the Lucas Oil Speedway in recent years, include a runner-up finisher in this year's MLRA Spring Nationals and a 5th place finish in the Show-Me 100 just a year ago. Multi-time MLRA winner and defending LOLMDS Rookie of the Year Garrett Alberson holds down the third spot and is followed closely by a pair of MLRA Rookie of the Year Candidates. Tyler Stevens of Searcy, AR leads the Sunoco ROY chase thus far and occupies 4th in the standings by a mere 20 points over fellow rookie Dillon McCowan. #25 Chad Simpson--Photo Credit: Mike Ruefer Photos Season Turnaround-- Chris Simpson would rather forget his last trip to Lucas Oil Speedway, a weekend that netted him a pair of 25th place finishes in the MLRA Spring Nationals. However, since leaving Wheatland in early April, Simpson has been on a tear with the MLRA, recording five consecutive top five finishes including his 16th career MLRA victory at the Lake Ozark Speedway.  Simpson will look to make his 8th Show-Me 100 start this weekend, an event that has been kind to him in the past. While he has yet to visit victory lane at Lucas Oil Speedway he has recorded three top fives in the Crown Jewel event, including a runner-up finish to Jimmy Owens in 2013, followed by a third place run in 2015, which came after he won the Show-Me Challenge race. #32 Chris Simpson--Photo Credit: Mike Ruefer Photos On The Big Stage-- One year ago Dillon McCowan was the star of the show in the USRA Modified portion of the Show-Me 100, as he cruised to the $1,500 top prize. This time around the tires are bigger and the cars are faster for McCowan, as he will try to lock into his first career Show-Me 100 at just 19 years of age. McCowan came out of the gates strong in the MLRA season opener in Wheatland, leading the first 13 laps and eventually coming home in 5th in his series debut. Although still a youngster in comparison to the majority of the field, McCowan has a great history and a lot of experience around Lucas Oil Speedway that will be a big asset in his quest for a Show-Me 100 title.

  Seth Bergman Lands ASCS Score At Longdale Speedway

  Bryan Hulbert - LONGDALE, Okla. (May 21, 2023) Marking his fourth podium finish in as many outings with the American Sprint Car Series, Sunday at Longdale Speedway was Seth Bergman's first trip to the top step with the National Tour in 2023. Pocketing $4,000 at the Walley Rodeo Roundup, the Corridor Electric/Evergreen Coffee, Co. No. 23 spent the first six revolutions battling Tennessee's Howard Moore. Gaining the momentum needed to clear the A.R. Dyno Specialty No. 3 on the seventh lap, Seth would hold the point the rest of the way for his 17th career victory. With the win, Seth now leads tour standings for the first time this season by six points over Jason Martin. "Feels good. We've been working really hard to win one of these races this year. The first weekend, we came so close, and then last night stung running second again, but hats off to Jason [Martin]; he's been the one to beat. We've been good, but starting position has hindered us a little bit, and tonight getting the front row, I wanted to make sure I made the best of it," stated Bergman. Jumping from fourth to second following a Lap 15 restart, Matt Covington landed his first podium finish of the season, with Landon Crawley crossing third for his best career finish in ASCS National competition. As high as second after starting 11th, Kyler Johnson would settle into fourth on Lap 18, while Danny Wood made the charge to fifth on Lap 23. Landon Britt was sixth, followed by Brandon Anderson. Jeremy Campbell crossed eighth. Shredding a left-rear tire on Lap 15 after running into the top five, Jason Martin was able to make it out from the work area and rally back to ninth, while Jordon Mallett, who changed an engine following Qualifying, drove through the field to complete the top ten. Sunday at the Walley Rodeo Roundup saw Whit Gastineau set the overall quick time in Qualifying at 14.942-seconds. A.R. Dyno Specialty Heat Race wins went to Howard Moore, Landon Britt, and Matt Covington. Sunday's field included 22 entries. The next outing for the American Sprint Car Series is Friday, May 26, at Lakeside Speedway (Kansas City, Kan.), then Lake Ozark Speedway (Eldon, Mo.) on Saturday, May 27, and Sunday, May 28. The 2023 season will mark the 32nd year of competition for the American Sprint Car Series. Spearheaded by the American Sprint Car Series National Tour, the ASCS Nation includes Regional Tours that encompass both wing and non-wing competition.

  Henry gets late race pass for 2nd Fremont 410 win; Stroup earns fantastic 305 victory; Gumby tames trucks

  FREMONT, Ohio - Cap Henry continued his hot streak to open the 2023 racing season with a late race pass to take the 410 sprint win at Fremont Speedway Saturday, May 20. Since joining the Jeff Ward Racing team in the off season, Henry, from Bellevue, Ohio, has put together a very solid start to the racing year, as Saturday's win was his second at Fremont. Henry, who started seventh in the 30-lap, $4,000-to-win feature on Great Lakes Truck Center Night, waged a great battle with Zeth Sabo whose team drove from New York after an All Star Circuit of Champions event was rained out. The pair nearly collided exiting turn four with Sabo making contact with the front stretch wall on lap 22, putting Henry into the lead. Henry drove away for his 14th career win at "The Track That Action Built." It was also a great weekend for Henry who battled the best in sprint car racing Friday at Attica Raceway Park, finishing sixth in the World of Outlaws event. The win Saturday will also put Henry in the thick of the battle for title of the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group, a crown Henry won in 2020. "Early there we weren't very good…the car was really good but the driver wasn't. I got to second….I finished second to Howdy (Sabo) last year when I drove that 29 car and I had to make sure I got one back. This car has been so fast. We struggled when we went to Wayne County Tuesday and I know everyone was bumped. Gary (Griffith) the 1985 Wayne County track champion helped us out and we got this thing rolling again. Man this is a lot of fun," said Henry beside his Jeff Ward Demolition, Elliott's Custom Trailers and Carts, Premier Planning Services, Tony Elliott Foundation, Primal Tee Shop, SCS Gear Box, Napa of Fremont backed machine. The Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature turned into one of the best races at Fremont for that division in a long time. Dustin Stroup and Bryan Sebetto battled each other hard the last four laps after a caution. The duo traded slide jobs every lap with Sebetto actually leading by a nose laps 22 and 23 before Stroup executed a slider to regain the top spot coming to the white flag. The pair raced side by side in turns one and two and banged wheels down the back stretch before Stroup was able to secure the win. It was his ninth career win at Fremont. Stroup's win also makes for a close battle for the title of the Napa of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales. "That was tough. I looked up there when we had that caution (lap 21) and saw Sebetto in second…this is me and Sebetto's type of track. I knew he was going to race me hard and I was going to race him hard back. We did bang wheels a couple of times…nothing is tore up and I'm sure we'll go have a couple of beers and talk about this later. I have to thank everyone on this thing. We changed up our engine program this year with Frank Myers of Ness City, Kansas. He builds one hell of a runner. We went with Brandon Riehl and RCF Chassis and this thing has been great," said Stroup beside his Myers Racing Engines, The Pizza House, Advance Auto Parts, Vantage Branding, Sulfur Town Pub, CWH Construction Services, GCE LLC, Riehl Custom Fab, RCF Chassis, Berryman Racing Shocks, Sherry Stroup at Century 21 Wilcox and Associations backed machine. In a caution filled Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature Ottawa Lake, Michigan's Dave Gumby Jr. held off a late race charge from Cory McCaughey to claim his third career win at Fremont. "I was getting so impatient…that was a long feature. I want to thank my truck owner David, Tim Baker, Tim Sr., my dad, my wife and baby and Ron Miller for building one hell of a truck," said Gumby. In the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint feature, Travis Philo lead the first 11 laps before Sabo took over. Once Henry moved into second on lap 14, he quickly closed on Sabo before taking the lead on a restart on lap 22. Henry took the checkers nearly five seconds ahead of Philo with Cole Duncan charging from 12th to finish third while Stuart Brubaker and Byron Reed rounded out the top five. While Stroup led all 25 laps of the 305 sprint feature, building a four second lead by lap 11, once the leaders hit lapped traffic Sebetto closed quickly. A caution with four laps to go gave Sebetto the chance to throw a slider at Stroup on the restart and the battle was on the final four circuits. Stroup took the checkers just ahead of Sebetto with Seth Schneider, Paul Weaver and Logan Riehl rounding out the top five. In the dirt truck feature, Gumby first battled with Jamie Miller and then McCaughey before earning the win. McCaughey, Kent Brewer, Brad Mitten and Dana Fry rounded out the top five. It's an all sprint car affair at Fremont Speedway Saturday, May 27 with the 410 and 305 winged sprints and the Great Lakes Traditional Sprints (non-wing) in action.

  Thornton Goes Back-to-Back in Iowa; Regains Championship Points Lead

  WEST BURLINGTON, Iowa (May 20, 2023) - Ricky Thornton Jr. went to the lead on lap 18 of the CRST - The Transportation Solution 50 at 34 Raceway and never looked back to score his fifth series win of the season. Thornton, who was also victorious on Friday night has now retaken the Big River Steel Chase for the Championship presented by ARP points lead heading into the Show-Me 100 weekend at Lucas Oil Speedway, May 25th-27th. With the $15,000 victory Thornton becomes the first series driver to eclipse the $100,000 mark in earnings this season. Tim McCreadie, who ran second to Thornton on Friday night held the lead for the first 17 laps until Thornton made the pass for the lead and went on unchallenged for the rest of the race. Brandon Overton finished second with Spencer Hughes rounding out the Big River Steel Podium in third. The remainder of the top five finishers were Earl Pearson Jr. and Chris Simpson. With Thornton out front, McCreadie maintained the second spot but had lost several car lengths to the leader. A caution with 12 laps to go gave McCreadie a shot at Thornton. On the restart McCreadie jumped to the top groove heading into turns one and two, but his momentum was too much as he slipped off the track which allowed several drivers to get by and he fell to 12th in the running order. The final caution appeared with nine laps remaining which set up a single-file restart. Thornton again showed his strength as he pulled away from Overton and Hughes as he went on record his tenth career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory. Thornton has ridden a wave of emotions after winning on Friday night as he and his family escaped uninjured after his apparel trailer left the highway and flipped en route to 34 Raceway. "It's definitely been all over the place [my emotions]. We won last night at Farley and when we left last night, I barely got the trailer off the road and then it flipped. Luckily me and my family was safe. I didn't how good we would be here tonight. It's nice to bounce back from that. I want to thank all the fans who bought stuff today, it helps us out." "There at the beginning of the race the track was really better than I thought it was, especially in one and two," Thornton added. "I was trying to keep my pace and I was trying to keep my tires under me. Once I got to traffic you have to go where they are not. Once Tim committed to the top, I thought I would just stay on the bottom. It worked out for me. I think we went three-wide a couple of times getting through traffic." Overton, who sits third in the championship standings came home in the runner-up spot. "I have never been to these places so what to adjust or not adjust we weren't sure. I couldn't run down in there and steer, cause I would shove up the hill. That was a pretty good race from second on back. Congrats to those guys. It was an awesome track; it was my first time here. You could run through the bottom or middle." Hughes rounded out the podium with his third-place finish. "You definitely had to be real patient tonight. I wasn't quite as good as Ricky and Brandon in the slick. I had to catch that last little bit of moisture down by the tires. I was able to do that. I caught some breaks on a couple of those restarts. We will take this finish and head to Wheatland with some momentum."

  Alex Pokorski charges to career-best podium PDTR 360 Sprint Car showing

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 16, 2023 - In his fourth season behind the week of a Sprint Car, Alex Pokorski put his improved comfort and confidence level at the controls of the No. 4 Akright Auto Racing Team 360 Sprint Car on full display as he stormed up seven spots to record a career-best third place finish in a 25-lap Plymouth Dirt Track Racing - Midwest Sprint Car Association main event at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May 13. The West Bend, Wis. driver bolted out of the gate in the second PDTR 360 Sprint Car event of the 2023 season at The Plymouth Dirt Track by qualifying second overall in the 28-car field with a lap of 12.930 seconds. Pokorski then started and finished third in the first 10-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car heat race to earn a berth in the 25-lap main event. After starting 10th in the 23-car A-main field, Pokorski moved up to the high groove of the wide, black slick and smooth track surface and quickly began to work his way up through the field. On lap 4, Pokorski passed Kevin Karnitz before passing Tony Wondra on lap 5 to move into fourth in the running order. The second caution flag of the race flew on lap 12 for the stalled car of Chris Larson, which allowed the field to bunch up behind race leader Brandon McMullen. Pokorski then used a low move on Ben Schmidt to advance to third place in turn one on lap 15. Over the final 10 laps of the race, heavy lapped traffic and the increasingly rubber down track surface became more of a factor in the race as the majority of the field, including Pokorski, held tight to the low groove of the third-mile clay oval. Pokorski stayed smooth in the closing laps to register a career-best third place A-main showing in a race won by Brandon McMullen. "The car was set up nicely for qualifying, and we were really close to setting quick time," Pokorski said. "We were a bit too loose in the heat race. I also made a few mistakes on the initial start and restart, but luckily, we still finished third. The car was really dialed in for the A main. The track did just what we were predicting, so we were ready for the dry slick early and the rubber that came later on. The car was fast from the beginning on the cushion. Later in the race, I was able to find the rubber right away and adjust my line. "The fastest groove moved down the track as more rubber set in, which made it hard to pass in the last five laps or so," he said. "The team has been really on top of setups, and we've figured out how to make this car fast, it seems. I have to thank them for giving me a great car in the two races so far this year. I think I have also been able to cut out some driver mistakes and improve my decision-making during the race. Those two or three factors paired with the new car Spyder [Akright] put me in have really made a big difference this year. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season!" Alex Pokorski and the Akright Auto Racing Team will return to PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car action at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, May 20 for an all-open wheel program also featuring the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series and Badger Midgets.

  EDDIE TAFOYA JR. QUALIFIES FOR BOTH MAINS IN ELDORA SPEEDWAY DEBUT

  (Chino, CA, May 12, 2023) Ohio's Eldora Speedway is one of the most famous and fastest dirt tracks in the world. Over the decades, its famous high banks and high speeds have put fear in the hearts of many racecar drivers. One driver who was not intimidated by the track's reputation was Chino Hills, California racer Eddie Tafoya, Jr. The rising star took on the track for the first time in the USAC National Sprint Car Series "Let's Race Two" on May 5th and 6th. Each night he qualified for the main event. Thirty-five cars signed in for the opening night of the two-night affair. Tafoya, 25, managed to draw a number in qualifying that put him in the second to the last pair on the track. Thinking the outside was gone by that time, he steered the #51T onto the steeply banked surface for his two laps on the clock. The dark-haired racer kept the car on the low line and sped around the bottom. For as late as he went out, he ended up doing well with a lap of 18.269. That was good enough for the 25th best time. For his heat race, Tafoya was on the inside of row four in the seventh position for the start. He ended up finishing eighth. That meant he had to go to the B main event for another shot at qualifying for the 30-lap A. The 12-lap B main was transferring six cars to the A. So, that meant Tafoya only had to pass one car for his ticket to the big dance. However, that could sound like a tall order considering he had never been there and the track's reputation for separating the men from the boys. Somebody apparently forgot to remind Tafoya of that. The rising star looked like Mike Tyson charging out of his corner at the opening bell of a championship fight when the green flag flew. On the second lap, needing only to pass one car to make it into the main event, he passed four! That put him in third place, and he remained there to earn a ticket into the main event on his first-ever appearance at Eldora. For his initial 30-lapper in Ohio, Tafoya was starting on the inside of the 11th row in the 21st position. When the 24 cars charged into turn one, he was originally in 22nd. Like usual, he began to pick off cars on lap two when he moved up to 21st. On the 3rd go around, he passed a couple of more cars and was quickly up to 19th. At the end of the fifth lap, he had taken over 18th. He stayed there for eight laps before dropping back to 19th and remaining there for the duration of the race. Night number two at Eldora saw Tafoya switch strategies and move up to the top in qualifying. The fastest of his two laps was 16.908. That was over a second faster than his Friday effort and was good for 26th quickest in the 35-car field. For his night #2 eight lap heat race, Tafoya began and finished seventh. That meant another trip to the B main. This time he was starting eighth and only had to pass two cars to get into the A. Showing a flare for the dramatics, Tafoya was eighth for the first seven laps. A lap eight yellow saw him pick up one spot to seventh. From the time the green lights flashed back on until lap 11, he remained one position out of the transfer. But with dramatics akin to an NHL hockey overtime, Tafoya swept wide off turn two. Keeping his foot planted on the wide line, he snagged the final transfer spot coming off turn four just before the white flag and qualified for his second Eldora Speedway main in 24 hours. The 30-lap Saturday A main event at Eldora was the last of Tafoya's first ever weekend at the track in the "Buckeye State." For the second night in a row, He was starting in the 21st spot. Initially, the 2019, USAC/CRA and USAC Southwest Series Rookie of the Year, ran in 24th. After briefly sliding into 22nd, he dropped back to 23rd on the eighth go around. He stayed eighth until a late race red flag halted the action with about 10 laps to go. Soon after the race restarted, Tafoya flew into 21st and then drove into the 20th position with nine laps remaining and stayed there through the finish. Tafoya had a very good introduction to the famed track that is known for not taking any prisoners. He made the main event each night and rolled the car back into the trailer with no damage. "Any track you go to running 120 miles per hour right on the wall is going to be scary," Tafoya said. "As you can see, people like Justin (Grant) are just banging it off the fence to win races there so you definitely have to put it aside if you want to do good. Set up-wise it was a little bit different. It was more aggressive than I thought it was going to be, just the tightness of the car wise." "I always hope to do well," Tafoya responded when queried on how he thought he would do going into the weekend. "I have good equipment and have definitely been getting experience under my belt the last couple of years. I feel like it is kind of to the point where it is my job to show up and do that good for my parents, myself, and everyone else who helps me out. I was happy with it." "We definitely had to work for both of those (mains)," Tafoya resumed. "Being so late in qualifying, we were the second to last pair both nights. One day (Friday) I tried the bottom because I thought the top was gone. The next night I ran the top. Kind of put us right around the same spot starting pretty deep in the heats. That track has so much momentum. When everyone is that fast it is kind of hard to make up ground and make passes. Luckily in both B mains, I was able to move around, find some speed and find some grip." After just a handful of races, Tafoya is 22nd in USAC National Sprint Car points and is only 10 markers out of 19th. Up next on his schedule is a trip to the "Sprint Car Capital of the World," Iowa's Knoxville Raceway, for the June 3rd and 4th USAC National Series races. However, he is currently back in So Cal for the next couple of weeks. If anyone is looking for a competitive driver for the USAC/CRA race on Saturday, May 20th at Tulare's Thunderbowl Raceway or the Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway on May 27th, Tafoya is available. He can be reached at (909) 393-3999. The Specialty Fasteners #51T team is always exploring corporate partnership opportunities.

  Pierce Rules Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Debut at Fairbury

  FAIRBURY, Ill. (May 13, 2023) - Bobby Pierce took the lead after a lap 37 restart and lead the last 23 laps of the FALS Spring Shootout Presented by Titan Industries on Saturday night at Fairbury Speedway. Pierce became the tenth different winner this season on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series - pocketing $30,000 for the win. Pierce, who started eighth held off Dalton Wilson and Brandon Sheppard for the win. Completing the top five were Brandon Overton and Jimmy Owens. With his fourth-place finish Overton is the new point leader in the Big River Steel Chase for the Championship presented by ARP. Shannon Babb grabbed the lead at the start of the race as he dueled it out with Dennis Erb Jr. who rode the bottom from fifth to take the lead from Babb on lap six. The first caution of the race came out with ten laps scored for Jonathan Davenport. On the restart Erb led Babb and Hudson O'Neal, who had slipped back to third after starting from the pole. O'Neal took second from Babb on lap 18 and then started to close the gap on Erb as was encountering heavy traffic in front of him. A restart on lap 36 would see Erb and O'Neal complete one lap before contact between the two in turn one. With Erb's driver side door facing the field a caution immediately flew for safety concerns, with Babb also coming to a stop trying to avoid the incident. Erb would have to restart on the tail of the field after being charged with the caution. Erb's night would come to an end three circuits later with a broke driveshaft. On the restart O'Neal would be the race leader but before he would officially lead a lap Pierce nipped him at the scoring line to take the lead for the first time in the race with 37 laps in the record books. Wilson, who started 11th showed his strength on the bottom-side as he and O'Neal would go at it for second. With ten laps to go it was Pierce, Wilson and O'Neal in a battle for the race lead. Wilson came close to sneaking by Pierce at the scoring loop as O'Neal went to the outside to regain the second spot on lap 52. O'Neal didn't give up on Pierce as he started to reel him in. O'Neal would drift high in turn two with two laps to go, but O'Neal's night would end shortly thereafter as he climbed the wall inflicting front end damage to his car. A green-white-checkered restart would see Pierce hold off Wilson by 0.471 seconds at the finish. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 13th time in his career Pierce showed his exuberance after exiting his race car. "It's redemption from last night at Farmer City for sure. I just messed up yesterday and my team told me to get back in the car and drive it. I have got to give a huge thanks to them. I went home last night, and they got the job done on the car. We won with a Longhorn at Fairbury on the cushion. It was an awesome night. I was pumped there. It was exciting to run the bottom or the top. It was super difficult up top. The whole race I really didn't know where to go on the track. I figured if someone was going to pass me let it be on the top. If I could slide them and pass them back, then that's what I was going to do. I was just trying to find out where I was best at." Wilson in his second full season with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series earned $15,000 for his runner-up finish in only his second-ever appearance at Fairbury. "We have been busting our tails lately. About 3 hours ago we were in trailer with straps on this thing and the door shut. We thought it was done after the rain. To even get this race in tonight was amazing. We had a really good car. We have had some real good speed here lately. We are getting better. I hope this shows we are here, and we finally put a whole night together." Sheppard came from tenth to round out the podium in third. "I didn't know if I had a chance at the end with two to go. The last two laps they were two-wide in front of me so there wasn't anywhere to go. My car was really good. I wasn't very good at the beginning of the race. I didn't know if I was a little too hard on tires of what. It really took me until halfway to get rolling. Once we got going, I was just kind of waiting for someone to make a move in front of me and go the opposite direction of which way I wanted to go so I could make a pass."

  Wells celebrates unusual Late Model feature victory in Lucas Oil Speedway headliner as Bryant, Davis, McMillin also win

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 13, 2023) - Justin Wells' latest Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature victory at Lucas Oil Speedway was by no means ordinary. Larry Ferris led all 25 laps and crossed the finish line first. But Ferris didn't make it to victory lane after his car failed to make minimum weight post race. That elevated race runner-up Wells to his fourth Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature win of the season. Wells, of Aurora, earned the $1,000 first prize with his 98th victory in his No. 98 2006 TNT chassis that he calls "Old Faithful." The Late Models also collected bonus money in the heat races ($100 for first, $75 for second, $50 third and $25 fourth) thanks to sponsors Wosoba Trucking & Seed, Reed Environmental and Dirt Track Specialist. Other winners on Saturday night in Vietti Marketing Group Night at the Races for the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series were Andy Bryant (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B Mods), Tad Davis (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds) and James McMillin (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). It was an unusual and eventful victory, to say the least, for Wells. He recovered from an early race spin, the result of a lap-four skirmish with Ferris as they battled for the lead. It left Wells restarting in 12th place. "I didn't think I'd get a chance to get back that close," Wells said. "I was happy with second, I guess, but I just hate a tore-up race car. I'm just happy for these guys who work hard on the race car. And this crowd is awesome tonight." Wells used the term "karma" afterward and said it was the second straight outing that he took issue with Ferris. "He's took us out two weeks in a row. There's no sense in it," Wells said. "Stuff happens. This is what he deserves." Ferris started second and Wells fourth and they were running 1-2 by the end of the first lap. Wells was challenging Ferris for the lead on the inside coming to the end of lap four when Wells spun into the infield to bring out a caution. Ferris opened a 1.7-second lead over Dustin Walker as action resumed with third-place JC Morton about 2.5 seconds behind Walker. But Ferris' lead was wiped out with a caution for a couple of spinning cars on lap 13. The yellow also was timely for Wells, who had rallied to sixth but was still a half-lap behind Ferris. Wells moved into fourth by lap 15, but Ferris had clear sailing out front and was two seconds ahead of the field when another caution flew on lap 17. Wells moved into third after the restart as Morton pulled onto to the rear end of Ferris' car. Ferris held onto the lead, but Wells drove past Morton and into second on lap 20, 1.1 seconds behind the leader. Ferris was able to hold on from there by a 1.4-second as the checkers flew - but after multiple tries he did not make required weight at the scales. Morton finished second with Bryon Allison third, Walker fourth and Joe Walkenhorst fifth. Bryant claims USRA B-Mod win: Andy Bryant of Fort Scott, Kan., took the lead midway through the 20-lap Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature and went on to hold off Lucas Oil Speedway division points leader Bobby Williams. Bryant claimed his first victory of the season at Wheatland, beating Williams by 1.8 seconds at the finish. "It's been too long," Bryant said of his return to victory lane. "I have to thank my crew and my dad for giving me one hell of a hot rod. I want to thank all my sponsors. They all do so much for me and this car wouldn't be nearly as competitive without them." Williams and Bryant started on the front row and Williams grabbed the lead at the start. He opened up a one-second margin over Bryant by lap six as the leaders caught up to lapped traffic, with Ryan Gillmore close behind in third. Bryant was able to edge past Williams on the low side in turns three and four, in the midst of the traffic, to take over the lead on lap 10. Just one second separated the top three through lap 15 as the race continued without a caution. By lap 17, Bryant opened up a one-second lead over Gillmore as Williams dropped to third. He continued to stretch out the margin over the final three laps and wound up prevailing by about eight car lengths over Williams with Gillmore third. Dayton Pursley finished fourth with JC Morton fifth in a race that ran caution free and took only six minutes and seven seconds. Tad Davis wins USRA Modified feature: Tad Davis set the pace for all 20 laps to pick up his first victory of the season in the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds. Davis, of Mount Hope, Kan., held off a hard-charging Ryan Middaugh for the victory after a late restart left the outcome in some doubt. "That was a long, hard race," Davis said. "The track was very aggressive tonight. That wore me out. I'm just glad to finally get a win here. We've been trying for a long time. It just feels really good." Davis started on the pole and jumped out to an early command, leading Dylan Hoover by 1.5 seconds five laps into the 20-lapper. The lead grew to 2.6 seconds by the halfway mark with Ryan Middaugh getting around Hoover for second. With action remaining caution-free, Davis had to weave through lapped traffic to maintain his lead and Middaugh began to whittle into the margin. It was down to .601 seconds by lap 16. Davis appeared on his way to holding off Middaugh on what was to be the final lap when a caution for a stopped car brought on a caution. That set up a one-lap shootout for the win. Davis had a terrific restart and drove to the win, finishing .458 seconds in front of Middaugh with Gary Christian third, Wyatt Gaggero fourth and Jason Pursley in fifth. "I didn't want to see that last caution," Davis said. "But I had a little bit of juice left in me to finish one more lap." USRA Stock Cars win goes to McMillin: James McMillin of Warrensburg cruised to nearly a half-lap victory in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Modifieds for his first Lucas Oil Speedway win of the season. "I was hooked up on the bottom and I just stayed there," McMillin said after he finished nearly seven seconds in front of runner-up Mason Beck. Third-starting McMillin led through the early going and sported a 2.1-second lead over Christopher Sawyer when the caution flag flew on lap four. McMillin once again opened a big league after the restart as a cluster of five cars battled for second, three seconds behind him. Taking advantage of an extended green-flag run, McMillin continued to pour it on and was 5.6 seconds clear of Mason Beck by lap 14. As the laps clicked by, McMillin found himself all alone with his margin 6.9 seconds over Beck with Rob White third, Rodney Schweizer fourth and Waylon Dimmitt fifth. Johnny Fennewald of Appleton City, the winner of the previous USRA Stock Cars feature two weeks ago, took a wild, tumbling ride into turn three on lap two. His car settled, wheels-up, leaning against the catch fence - but Fennewald walked away from the accident. Action was halted for about 20 minutes during the red flag to remove Fennewald's torn-up car.

  DAY OUTGUNS MCFADDEN TO DOMINATE OPENING NIGHT OF THE PETER MURPHY CLASSIC

  (5/12/23 - Ben Deatherage) Hanford, CA ... Teenage sensation Corey Day continued on his winning ways with an impressive Peter Murphy Classic opening night showing at Kings Speedway. Day powered past James McFadden in the NARC 410 NAPA Auto Parts Sprint Car Series headliner at the halfway point and never looked back to score his third series victory of the season. The 30-lap headliner kicked off with polesitter McFadden grabbing the early race lead aboard the Dennis and Teresa Roth-owned Toyota Racing Development/HR Livestock #83 Maxim. The Australian driver, racing for just the second time in his career with the NARC, was jungle cat-quick, but several caution flags prevented him from thoroughly checking out from the rest of the pack. After a lap thirteen restart, Day rocketed past McFadden coming to the line, only for the pass to be negated by a red flag incident for Cole Macedo. He was uninjured in the accident. Once the wreckage was cleared, Day hunted McFadden down on an open racetrack and passed him for the point, manhandling the high side of the racetrack. Day, who started seventh, dominated the rest of the way aboard the Jason Meyer Racing-fielded Meyers Constructors/Four C's Construction/Autry Plumbing #14 KPC. "We were really good there!" said a pleased Day in victory lane, after scoring his ninth career series win and first at the Peter Murphy Classic. "We had to do a motor change after hot laps, and we never gave up and kept pushing through. To start seventh, come through like that, and beat an Outlaw is cool." McFadden finished a very respectable second, followed by the Scelzi Enterprises/Whipple Superchargers/Red Rose Transportation #41 Maxim driven by Dominic Scelzi. The balance of the top five consisted of fourth finishing Shane Golobic in the Works Limited #57 EMI and the Larry Antaya-owned Fire Protection Management of Bay Area/Northstar Concrete Pumping #16A Helix, piloted by Colby Copeland, in fifth. Buddy Kofoid, Justyn Cox, Jonathan Allard, rookie Joey Ancona, and Ryan Bernal rounded out the top ten. Eleventh finisher Tanner Holmes earned the Williams Roofing Hardcharger award after starting 20th.

  Gee clears traffic for Attica 410 win; Missler gets late race pass for late model win; Jedrzejek gets last lap pass for 305 win

  ATTICA, Ohio - Skylar Gee was fast as soon as he unloaded Friday, May 12 at Attica Raceway Park. The Leduc Alberta, Canada driver set fast time in qualifying, charged from fourth to second in his heat, and took the lead in the 410 sprint feature on lap eight and drove to his second career win on American Powersports, Venture Visionary Partners, Edwards Jones' Mike Neill Advisor, Craig Miller Trucking, Bucyrus Road Materials Night for the 35th Eric Phillips Classic. It wasn't easy for Gee as Paige Polyak used heavy lapped traffic to close in the last 10 laps, even pulling along side of the leader with just four laps to go. Once Gee cleared the traffic he pulled away for the win on the opening night for the Kistler Racing Products/All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads 410 Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group. "I had to work for that one. I saw Paige's nose a couple of times. It didn't matter what I did…if I got close to one lapped car then the other would get away and I'd get close to him. I got rolling pretty good there towards the end but I got tight and I couldn't figure out why but I see the right rear tire is pretty flat," said Gee beside his Castle Rock Enterprises, Dirt Sharks Excavation, Pat Beck Motorsports, Pack Rat Dumpsters backed machine. "I used to struggle here but the past couple of years I've been getting better and better. We've been pretty good this year but haven't had anything to show for it until now. I have to thank Logan, Dirt Sharks, Pack Rat, FK Rod Ends, Sander Wheels, and Jim Travis builds a hell of an engine," added Gee. Bellevue, Ohio's Ryan Missler needed long runs in the Dirt Nerds Podcast powered by propane UMP Late Model feature. Just as the five-time track champion got close to Justin Chance to battle for the lead a caution would fly. The final yellow fell with seven laps remaining and Missler was able to catch and then pass Chance on lap 22 and drove to his 19th career late model win at Attica. "I didn't want to see any of those cautions. It seemed like I needed a few laps to get rolling and get my tires warm. Running the top you can get your tires cooking pretty quick. I felt better around the bottom. The car is always good the longer the race goes if I got it right. I have to thank Attica for getting the race in today. They could have easily cancelled this with the radar and the forecast. My crew, Dave, Evan, Amber, my kids and all my sponsors," said Missler beside his Weekley Electric, Jackson Farms, LK Home Improvements, MGX Technologies, Rocket Chassis, Kepling Flooring, Superior Shine & Solutions, Handy Grafix, York Fabrication, Stakt, Napa of Bryan, George Lee Racing, Keizer Wheels, Elite Motorsports, AccuForce, SCS Gearbox, Missler's Sweets, Maga Lifts backed #50. Last week Kasey Jedrzejek clipped an infield tire while battling for the lead of the Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature and ended up in the pits. This week the Lagrange, Ohio driver waited until the last lap to pass race-long leader Paul Weaver to claim his second career win at Attica. It was the opening week of the NAPA of Bryan 305 AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales. "I had a sponsor that told me at the start of the year every win they would give me a good chunk of change so I saw the lady today and I was telling her about last week and I thought I was going to get it until the misfortune down there and she said the same thing and I told her we were going to get it tonight and we did," said Jedrzejek beside his Heat Star, Mr. Heater, Fisher Custom Printing, Sips-N-Such Social House, Team Line'em Up, BEI Supply & Rental, Greber Racing Components, Perfection Fabricators, Ronda Jedrzejek at Howard Hanna, Dibaggio Family, FK Rod Ends backed machine. "Going out there on the start I really didn't think I had that great of a car but as the run went on I got better and better and then we got into lapped traffic and I was able to catch up to Paul. I have to thank my dad and Denny…after last week I spun out because I couldn't see because there was water blowing all over me. So we had to rebuild the top of the motor this week. They worked hard in the shop while I was studying for a final," added Jedrzejek. The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series invades Attica Raceway Park Friday, May 19.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: After early season off-track misfortune, Middaugh on a roll in USRA Modifieds

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 11, 2023) - Considering where Ryan Middaugh and his team were in the pre-dawn hours of March 18th - on the side of the highway in central Missouri, their truck and trailer totaled - things are going amazing well on the track so far in the 2023 racing season. It was on the drive home to Fulton after a disappointing night at Tulsa Speedway when a strong wind gust sent the vehicles off the road and into a ditch, jolting the occupants but amazingly not injuring anyone. The truck and trailer were not as fortunate, declared as totaled. Tires, tools and other equipment were strewn inside the trailer with the USRA Modified, already dinged from the race a few hours prior. "It beat the car to heck," Middaugh said. "Fortunately we had some good friends come down and pick up the car. I figured our season was gonna be way behind after that, but we pushed ahead and got the car fixed that week and borrowed a trailer and we were at Wheatland that next Saturday." One feature win and three top-five finishes later, Middaugh leads Lucas Oil Speedway's Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified points. Including three feature wins at his hometown Callaway Speedway, he's also atop the most-recent USRA Modified National standings. Middaugh will be looking to protect his Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified lead on Saturday night as the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series resumes. Gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. While he's ready to put the highway accident in the rear-view mirror, Middaugh's ability to overcome the adversity has been impressive. He had to borrow trailers to make it to the track as insurance claims were sorted out before purchasing a new toter and trailer. "I've not been home a lot since, trying to get everything sorted back out," Middaugh said. "My family has been super understanding. We persevered and kept pushing through it." And in the bigger overall picture, he's simply thankful no one was hurt in the accident, which occurred around 4 a.m. as the group traveled through the Lake of the Ozarks area. "Dad, my crew guy Randy and his wife were sleeping in the back on couches," Middaugh said. "They wound up on the floor. We got some pretty good air time hitting that ditch. It ripped back door of the trailer off. Fortunately everybody was OK." Middaugh gave shout-outs to Jordan Martin, his cousin and a B-Mod racer, along with former B-Mod competitor Jason Watson for loaning his trailers to get him through a one-month period before he located a trailer. Just before his April 22 victory at Wheatland, he made a trip to West Virginia for a replacement truck. Now he's looking for normalcy, the chance to focus solely on winning races and perhaps chasing down his first Lucas Oil Speedway track championship. "We'll keep plugging away, taking it race by race," Middaugh said. "If you start points racing, you're not gonna be at your full potential. We're just gonna go out and try to win every race and ultimately put ourselves in position. A championship at Lucas is one of our goals. We have several good guys we're going up against. Hopefully we can be there at the end." Middaugh takes a 13-point lead over two-time Lucas Oil Speedway track champion Robbie Reed into Saturday's action. Hermitage Lumber Late Model drivers will shoot for a $1,000 first prize in a 25-lap feature to headline Saturday night's action. They'll also run for bonus money in the heat races ($100 for first, $75 for second, $50 third and $25 fourth) thanks to sponsors Wosoba Trucking & Seed, Reed Environmental and Dirt Track Specialist. Round 5 of the Weekly Racing Series is Vietti Marketing Group Night at the Races and all Mothers will be admitted free to celebrate Mother's Day Weekend. The Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds, Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars also will be in action. Pit gates open at 4 p.m. with grandstands at 5.

  Two New Tracks Ahead for Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series

  BATAVIA, Ohio (May 9, 2023) - The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will take on two tracks new to the tour this weekend. The nation's top dirt late model drivers will first visit Farmer City Raceway on Friday before tackling Fairbury Speedway on Saturday. On May 10-13, the Land of Lincoln will host the 2nd Annual Illinois Speedweek, a four-race swing beginning with Spoon River Speedway on May 10 before invading Lincoln Speedway on May 11. Each of those events, sanctioned by the FloRacing Night in America, features a $23,023-to-win / $1,000-to-start Super Late Model program. The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will take center stage in Round No. 3 of the Illinois Speedweek with the tour's first-ever stop at Farmer City Raceway. The Farmer City 74 presented by FloRacing will be a complete program for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, including Dirt Draft Hot Laps, Allstar Performance Time Trials, Heat Races, B-Mains, and a 74-lap, $25,000-to-win A-Main. The DIRTcar Modifieds ($2,000 to win) and Kids Modifieds will join the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series at Farmer City Raceway. Tyler Erb will return as the defending Farmer City 74 champion following a thriller in 2022. Erb pulled off a breathtaking pass off the final corner, nipping his fellow Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series regular Ricky Thornton Jr. by just inches at the finish line. Farmer City Raceway is a 1/4-mile, high banked dirt oval located on the Fairgrounds in Farmer City, Illinois, just off I-74 at Exit 159. On Friday, May 12 all gates will open at 4:00PM CT. The on-track action is slated to begin at 6:00PM CT with Hot Laps. For more information, visit www.farmercityracing.com. Fairbury Speedway's FALS Spring Shootout presented by Titan Industries will cap off the four-race Illinois Speedweek. The $30,000 to win main event is preceded by a complete program of Dirt Draft Hot Laps, Allstar Performance Time Trials, Heat Races, and B-Mains for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. The DIRTcar Modifieds are also on the docket, chasing a $3,000 top prize. In 2022, Bobby Pierce held off a late-race charge from Brandon Sheppard to lead all 60 laps of the FALS Spring Shootout. Pierce took the checkers 0.367 of a second ahead of Sheppard to collect the $30,000. Both drivers are expected to return to "America's Dirt Track" this weekend.

  O'Neal Keeps Rolling with Lucas Oil Victory at Atomic

  CHILLICOTHE, Ohio (May 4, 2023) - Hudson O'Neal regained the lead on lap 27 and went on to win Thursday night at the Atomic Speedway in the return of "The Night the Stars Come Out." The victory marks O'Neal's third consecutive Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series triumph. O'Neal will head to Friday night's Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event at Ponderosa Speedway sporting the Midwest Sheet Metal orange spoiler indicating he is the new series points leader by 35 points. Brandon Overton made it close at the finish coming home just .303 seconds behind the winner to take the runner-up spot - he now moves to second place in the championship point standings. Mike Marlar in his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series race of 2023 rounded out the podium in third. Kyle Larson, who won the All-Star Circuit of Champions A-Main rallied from 14th to finish fourth. Jonathan Davenport, who led laps 2-26 came home in fifth. O'Neal and Davenport started on the front row of the 50-lap main event with O'Neal leading the first circuit following several slide jobs between the two. Davenport would gain the lead on lap 2 and hold it until O'Neal got around him for good with 23 laps remaining in the race. The 22-year-old Indiana native picked up his 21st career series win breaking a tie with Tyler Erb for 10th place on the all-time win list. "What a race that was. That cushion was treacherous. I made a bunch of mistakes on it, but it was just so big. It was built up there on the wall and it was real forgiving. If you made a little mistake it wasn't going to hurt, you. That break was killing us, we have been sitting around and ready to get going again." Regarding his battle early on with Davenport, O'Neal said it was important to get the lead on the first lap. "We were driving our tails off. It's fun whenever you get to race like that. We had a good race car from the beginning. I was a little too forgiving at the beginning and I got into a pace where I was a little bit slower than I wanted to be. My guys told me to just get up on the wheel. These guys build an awesome piece where you can bang off the cushion like that." Overton came home in second after tracking down O'Neal in the closing laps. "I knew I wasn't going to pass him [O'Neal] because we were running the same line. So, we just got a run through the middle there and did everything we could. We had a good run and we almost got him. Traffic was slowing him down a little bit. We could make up a little time in three and four. We just were a couple of little tweaks away from diving right by him." Marlar survived a skirmish with Ricky Thornton, Jr. to round the podium. "I had just got by him [Thornton] a couple of laps before then. I was kind of using the diamond line down there in three and four. He couldn't see that I was doing that behind him. So, I passed him and cleared him. We slid each other for a lap or two and got sorted out and then I come out ahead of it. I then went back to my diamond line, and he wasn't ready for it, I guess. So, it was probably just as much my fault as his."

  BRODY ROA TAKES SECOND USAC/CRA WIN IN A ROW AT KERN COUNTY

  (Cypress, CA, May 1, 2023) For the second week in a row, Garden Grove, California's Brody Roa took a hard-fought win in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series. The victory, which came at the Kern County Raceway Park In Bakersfield, California, gave Roa four wins in the first 7 series races of 2023. 337526840_1368763633945363_8312799839077374331_n.jpg Brody Roa has won four of the first seven USAC/CRA races this year. Doug Allen photo. The week before at his first race at Kings Speedway in Hanford since 2021, Roa took a hard-fought win in the 30-lap main event. Saturday's race was tougher and he had to come from behind to do it! Before he got to the main event, Roa had a good start in the city known as "California's Country Music Capital." He was the third-fastest qualifier in the 17-car field and won his 10-lap heat race after starting in sixth position. Like his heat race, Roa started sixth in the Inland Rigging #17R in the main event. Staying on the outside line, he advanced two positions up to fourth by the end of the second lap. He dropped to the bottom on lap four and slid into third. He went straight back to the top of the racetrack and five laps later, he charged into second place. At that point, all that was between Roa and the leader was a lot of real estate. Like a half straightaway worth! The "Pride of Garden Grove" began chipping away at the leader's advantage and by the time the 14th lap rolled around, he was only inches behind. However, as the leader and Roa approached the first bend another car slid to a stop in the middle of the corner. Both tried to take evasive action. Roa was able to steer to the inside and get past the stopped car. However, the same could not be said for the leader who tried to go around the outside and made contact. That meant Roa would be the leader when the race restarted. Roa quickly pulled away on the restart and built up a near two-second advantage by the end of lap 19. It seemed like the race was his, but another car spun coming off turn two. That brought out another yellow flag and the complexion of the race was about to change. When the green light flashed on again, Roa got a good restart and went back to the top. Unfortunately, that restart was not good enough. The second-place car manned the bottom and took the lead from Roa before they completed lap 19. If that was not enough, the third-place car also used the bottom to pass him coming off turn two. Suddenly with 10 laps to go, Roa had been relegated back to third, but he was not done yet. Not wanting to go to the bottom, Roa stayed true to the outside line and began to build up momentum. By the time the 23rd go-round had concluded, he had raced back to second. The 2019 USAC Southwest Sprint Car Series champion stalked the leader and he caught him on lap 25. He continued to run the top until coming off turn four at the end of the 25th circuit when he crossed back underneath his foe and reclaimed the lead. Seconds later, a bobble coming off turn two saw him momentarily fall from the top spot but he drove the bottom hard and found himself back out front in turn three. Roa built up a small lead and it appeared that the drama in this one was over. That was not the case. He started the final lap with a three-car advantage. He stayed wide but caught a small rut coming off turn four the final time. It momentarily upset the car. However, Roa gathered it in, stayed on the throttle, and ended up taking the win in a photo finish. His margin of victory was .026!!! "We are stoked," Roa said after climbing out of his car. "After the heat race, I didn't know if we really had it. As soon as we fired off (for the main) we were really good. Tommy (third-place finisher Tommy Malcolm) and Mitch (second-place finisher Mitchell Moles) got me on that restart. I kinda' had to regroup and grab some knobs and dial this thing back in a little bit. I don't know if it was that or me just getting my elbows back up." "Yeah, it was definitely wide," Roa responded when asked about the track prep. "I am not a fan of the bottom right now anyways and I really don't like rough. Neither line was good but I definitely wasn't going to go to the bottom. Tommy and Mitchell both got me on the bottom and I said I just cannot go down there and run, that is not for me. So let's try to keep working the top. I finally got it rolling again and was able to get them. The track definitely widened out. I am glad it was not follow the leader around the bottom. It was two lanes of racing and elbows up hang on for sure." Roa's performance at KCRP saw him leave the track with a bulging 110-point lead in the championship point standings. He is off to one of the best starts in the history of the USAC/CRA Series. In seven races, he has four wins, two second-place finishes, and a fifth. His main event finishing percentage is an amazing 1.85!!! This Saturday, May 6th, Roa heads to the 1/3 mile banked Mohave Valley Raceway in Arizona. He has two previous appearances at the track. The first came last October when he started 11th in the 30-lap main. On that night, the savvy racer drove through the field and scored a convincing win before a packed house. He made his second appearance there five weeks ago. On that occasion, he was the second-fastest qualifier, started sixth, and won his heat race. He started sixth in the 30-lap main event and came home second. It was one of only three times this season that the talented driver did not take home the USAC/CRA winner's trophy. Roa will have a teammate at Mohave Valley this Saturday. Inland Rigging team owner Tommy Dunkel will be back in the saddle for the race in the "Copper State." At the April 1st race, the Menifee, California driver placed ninth in the B main. One week later he led every inch of the way for his first-ever sprint car main event win in the VRA Series at the Ventura Raceway. It will be Dunkel's fourth sprint car start of the season. For fans who would like to see the Inland Rigging Team drivers in action on Saturday, Mohave Valley Raceway is located just minutes from the Colorado River and only 20 minutes from Laughlin, Nevada. The address is 2750 E. Laguna Road, Mohave Valley, AZ (86440). The office phone number is 928-336-4000 and the website is mohavevalleyraceway. Adult tickets are $25.00.

  Johnson captures USRA Modified win in Lucas Oil Speedway spotlight feature as Wells, Fennewald, Gillmore also prevail

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 29, 2023) - Matt Johnson led the final six laps to outlast Jason Pursley and capture the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature Saturday night in the headliner of Lucas Oil Speedway's Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series program. Johnson, of Archie, took home $1,000 with his first feature victory of the season in an eventful main event that saw the winner lose the lead late - but get it back thanks to a timely caution. Other feature winners in the action Presented by KCTV-5 in Kansas City were Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber Late Models), Johnny Fennewald (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars) and Ryan Gillmore (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods). Pursley paced the opening 19 laps of the USRA Modified feature before Johnson took his first lead of the race on lap 20. But as Johnson drifted high in turn two on lap 23, Pursley reclaimed the lead. However, a spinning car well behind the leaders brought out a caution before the lap was officially recorded and the running order for the restart reverted to the previous lap. "Hats off to Jason. He's a hell of a racer," Johnson said in victory lane. "I was having some fun with him until I stepped on (myself) a few times, but I'll take it on a technicality. Luck fell our way for once." Pursley set the pace from his outside front-row starting position with Johnson advancing from seventh into second by lap three. Those two hit lapped traffic by circuit 10 and Pursley was able to fend off the challenger and had a half-second lead when the first caution appeared on lap 13. Two green-flag laps went into the books after the restart, before another caution waved on lap 15. Pursley continued to lead Johnson with Mike Hansen, who started 13th, working his way into third with sixth-starting Trevor Hughes in fourth. Hansen had a terrific restart and moved alongside Pursley to challenge for the lead but the action was slowed again after just one lap as a spinning car brought out the race's third yellow flag. Johnson used a slider in turns three and four to pass Pursley for his first lead on lap 20. But Johnson got into the loose stuff in the cushion going into turn two on lap 23 with Pursley taking advantage. Seconds later, a caution flew allowing Johnson to go back to the front. The three-lap shootout saw Johnson drive mistake-free as he pulled away and won by 1.25 seconds, or about eight car lengths over Pursley. Hansen was third, Dylan Hoover fourth and Robbie Reed finished fifth. "The track was great for the feature," Johnson said. "We're just glad to be making some headway on this car and we're looking forward to the rest of the year." Wells wins big in Late Models: Justin Wells of Aurora recovered from adversity on the opening lap and went on to win his third Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature of the season. It was his 97th career victory in "Old Faithful," his No. 98 2006 model TNT race car. Wells earned $1,000, including bonus money from including bonus money from sponsors Wosoba Seed & Trucking, Reed Environmental and Dirt Track Specialist. "All these guys standing down here work every week and the guys back at the shop, they worked hard over the winter and it shows what we're doing here," Wells said as his crew gathered around him in victory lane. "The track was awesome. There were two grooves. It was a little wet to start the night, but it makes for exciting racing." Wells and Bryon Allison wound up sideways and stopped on the front stretch after contact from a third car on lap one. It didn't take Wells long to rally from restarting seventh. Larry Ferris took the lead away from early pacesetter Joe Walkenhorst on lap two with Wells moving into second. By the end of lap four, Wells sailed around Ferris on the top side for the lead. Wells opened a 2.1-second lead over Ferris by lap 10 with third-running Larry Jones another seven seconds behind. The race ran caution-free after the initial caution at the start. Wells cruised to the checkers 3.7 seconds ahead of Ferris. Kyle Graves was third with Allison fourth and Walkenhorst coming home in fifth. Fennwald claims USRA Stock Cars thriller: With the top four finishers separated by less the three-quarters of a second, Johnny Fennewald of Appleton City emerged as the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars winner. Fennewald beat William Garner, who tried to make a winning pass on the inside out of turn four on the final lap, by a half-car-length to earn his first victory of the season. "The bottom was really good it looked like for Garner and I (went low) once and about screwed up," Fennewald said. "I got back up there on top where I belonged." Fennewald started fourth and needed only two laps to move into the lead, going around the pole-starting Doug Keller on the outside of turn four. Riding the high groove, Fennewald continued to hold off Keller, until Garner claimed the runner-up spot on lap 10. Garner took up chase of the leader using the inside line and challenged Fennewald over the next several laps, unable to make the pass. A lap-15 caution set up a single-file restart with Keller, Rob White and Kris Jackson following the top two. White forced his way into the fight for the win on lap 18, pulling to the inside of Garner. But it was Fennewald, holding of a turn-four bid from Garner on the final lap, getting the win by .254 of a second. Waylon Dimmitt wound up third with White fourth, the foursome at the front separated by by .069 of a second. James McMillin was fifth. USRA B-Mods feature goes to Gillmore: Ryan Gillmore made it back-to-back feature wins in the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod division, leading the final 19 laps and holding off Kyle Slader by .0844 seconds. Gillmore wasted little time getting to the front from his second-row starting position, going into the lead on lap two. By the halfway mark of the 20-lapper, he held a 1.7-second margin over Slader with Brian Bolin in third. As Gillmore hugged the love groove through the corners, Slader went to the high side to try and run him down and cut the gap to one-second with five laps remaining as both navigated lapped traffic. Gillmore was up to the challenge, posting his second straight victory at Lucas Oil Speedway. Slader finished about five car lengths behind with Bolin in third, JC Newell fourth and Bobby Williams fifth. "I kept watching the (video) board and I saw Slader early get behind me and I just knew any minute that he was going to creep in on me," Gillmore said. After about 15 runner-up feature finishes at Lucas Oil Speedway, Gillmore had two weekly wins in 2022 plus a USRA B-Mod Nationals triumph. He now seems to have hit his stride at the track this spring. "I have a love-hate relationship with this place," Gillmore said. "Some nights I go home and have no idea what to do and some nights I can't wait to come back. Tonight's one of those nights. I can't wait to come back."

  LAKE OZARK SPEEDWAY "BATTLE AT THE BEACH" AWAITS LUCAS OIL MLRA

  Wheatland, Missouri (April 25, 2023) - A busy month of Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) action comes to a close this weekend when the series returns to the Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, MO for the 3rd Annual "Battle at the Beach". The first of two nights will get under way on Friday April 28th with a full $5,000 to win feature event on tap, followed by a $7,000 to win and $700 to start weekend finale on Saturday night. Mother nature washed out the 2022 addition of the event, while Payton Looney scored the win in 2021 over Billy Moyer and Chad Simpson in a condensed one-day event. Other MLRA winners at the Lake include Jeff Taylor and three-time winner Will Vaught. Chad Simpson enters the weekend on top of the Midwest Sheet Metal Spoiler Challenge Standings by 120 points over Garrett Alberson for the $20,000 series championship. Brandon Sheppard, leading Sunoco Rookie of the Year contender Dillon McCowan, and Chris Simpson round out the top five in points. Only 90 points separates drivers in positions two through eight, which includes the likes of sixth place Jeff Herzog, Jake Timm, and rookie contender Tyler Stevens of Searcy, AR. Veteran driver Billy Moyer and Daniel Hilsabeck finish out the top ten through just four events. This weekends action will be the final tune up for series drivers before heading to next months crown jewel Show-Me 100 weekend at the Lucas Oil Speedway May 25th - 27th. In addition to the $5k and $7k pay checks on the line this weekend, the top two series drivers in points following Saturday nights main event will walk into the Show-Me 100 with guaranteed provisional starting positions if needed, making the "Battle at the Beach" an even more important stop for series regulars. The trip to the 1/3 mile Lake Ozark Speedway will be a homecoming of sorts for Brennon Willard, driver of the Hudson Feed & Grain #3 Capital Chassis. 39 year old Willard says he see's it as a rare opportunity to compete at one of the tracks that he considers a home track—although only having raced there twice in his dirt racing career prior to this weekend. The former asphalt racer hails from Lebanon, MO just about an hours driver from this weekends action. "This will be fun," exclaimed Willard. "We literally went from racing a mile from home every night back in the pavement days, to if we race an hour from home now I call it a home race." "Lake Ozark is a really cool facility and a really nice place. Every time we've went there it's been really racey, so hopefully it's like it has been in the past and we can put on a good show for the fans." Willard's only MLRA start at Lake Ozark was back in his second full year of dirt late model racing and came with mixed results. After qualifying 9th in a 26 car field, he rallied from 22nd on the starting grid to come home in 13th, a strong nine position swing that was second best on the night. "I was a terrible qualifier back then, and it was one of the best nights I had qualifying, and then I did something stupid in the heat race and put us behind. When we got out there in the feature our car was pretty decent and we came up through there and it was a lot of fun. I was sad we missed it last year, so I'm really glad to see it back on the schedule this year."

  Jason Martin Tops ASCS Showdown At Boothill Speedway!

  Bryan Hulbert - GREENWOOD, La. (April 22, 2023) Rolling in with a score to settle Saturday night after suffering a massive crash in 2022, Jason Martin did just that at Boothill Speedway with the American Sprint Car Series, leading start to finish at the three-eighths-mile oval for his second win in as many races. The fifth time the tour has visited Boothill Speedway, the trend of different winners continues, with Jason adding his name to the list. "We had a great race car tonight. I love this kind of track where you have to search around, and it just keeps changing throughout the race. It was fun," stated Jason. "I'm very proud of this team. We couldn't have asked for a better start to the season, and now we just have to do what we need to do to keep it going." Martin's sixth career victory with the American Sprint Car Series, the No. 36 had to fend off Seth Bergman at the start. Stalked by the No. 23 the first nine laps, Seth slipped to the show position on Lap 10 as Landon Britt worked into the runner-up spot. Working the hub of the high-banked oval, cautions offered the No. 10 a few shots at the lead, but each time it was Martin who held point. Varying his line as the track became more and more technical, the top three all raced to the white flag with the win hanging in the balance. Needing to make one last perfect lap, Jason was able to hit his marks to win by 0.588-seconds. Landon Britt held on for second over Seth Bergman, with Howard Moore winning the battle for fourth over Cody Gardner. Sixth went to Matt Covington, followed by Brandon Anderson. Louisiana's Koty Adams crossed eighth, followed by Kyler Johnson. Involved in a caution on Lap 5, Michael Day rebounded to a top-ten finish. Saturday's field broke into three AR Dyno Specialty Heat Races, with wins going to Matt Covington, Cody Gardner, and Michael Day. The KSE Hard Charger was Howard Moore. All drivers in attendance advanced to the A-Feature. Landon Britt was the overall quick qualifier and established a new track record at 12.644-seconds. The American Sprint Car Series races again at Moberly Motorsports Park in Moberly, Mo., on Saturday, May 13. The 2023 season will mark the 32nd year of competition for the American Sprint Car Series.

  Steve Buckwalter scores All-Pro SpeedSTR win in Bloomsburg Fair Raceway Opener; Carter Crooker takes victory in Dirt Mods

  (Bloomsburg, PA 4-20-23): Bloomsburg Fair Raceway kicked off its 2023 season on Thursday evening with picture perfect weather, a well-groomed race surface prepared by new promoter Rich Tobias and a visit by local racing star and Grand Marshall Jimmy Spencer of nearby Berwick and the result was a smoothly run and competitive program that was in the books in just under two-and-a-half hours. Afterwards the drivers where very complimentary of the track and Tobias for his great effort put in and giving them a racy surface for which to compete on. Steve Buckwalter of Royersford claimed the headline All-Pro SpeedSTR win, Carter Crooker of Savona, NY picked up the verdict with the 602 Crate Modifieds, Adam Campbell from Danville won in the FWD 4-Cylinder Stocks and Andrew Turpin of Saylorsburg took the win with the Slingshots. In the 25-lap SpeedSTR main pole sitter Buckwalter jumped into the opening lap lead over Mark Manieri and Briggs Danner. By the third tour Danner moved up to second and continued to keep close tabs on Buckwalter the rest of the way. However, try as Danner may, Buckwalter showed good muscle each time a challenge was mounted, most noticeably on restarts and was able to maintain the lead to the finish for his first win at Bloomsburg. "This feels great, we tried this here twice before, the first time we blew up in hot laps and the second race we came to it was pretty much the same deal so this was very rewarding to win the opener here at Bloomsburg," said Buckwalter. "The track was really good and I'm probably one of the biggest critics there is and I have to give Richie (Tobias) credit. He put the effort into it and gave us a really good track." Although Buckwalter had the ability to stay a few car lengths ahead of Danner, he still knew he had to keep his guard up nonetheless against the three-time Bloomsburg winner. "I knew he (Danner) was back there and I didn't want to just give it to him. I just ran it as hard as I could on the top and as hard as the car could take it," Buckwalter noted. Towards the end of the race Buckwalter was solid and not only crossed the finish line first but also set a new track record for SpeedSTRs during the event with a fast lap of 17.574-seconds. Danner was not only doing what he could to catch Buckwalter but near the end had to fend off hard charging Eddie Strada who was right in his tire tracks. "I knew he (Buckwalter) and I were so even and I tried on the restarts and I probably could have forced the issue a little bit more but it wasn't really worth it. If I was going to pass him I was going to pass him under green," said Danner. "I was kind of hoping that lapped traffic would play into it a little bit and then the curb started building up there in (turn) one so I kind of backed off that bit more and settled into second. Strada's teammate, Doug Snyder and TJ Mayberry competed the top five. In the 602 Crate Modified main it was a hard-fought family affair between Carter and Kreg Crooker. C. Crooker took to the early lead with K. Crooker quickly on his tail and every lap from there through to the finish was a torrid battle as lap after lap the pair raced hard with neither backing down. Holding a very defensive line C. Crooker was able to stand his ground and take his first ever win here. Despite the unrelenting effort of K. Crooker, he did run the fastest lap of the race and in doing so set a new track record for the class at 17.188-seconds. Local favorite Matt Yoder, Mike Schane and Paulie Hartwig III completed the top five. Adam Campbell parlayed his front row starting spot into a win with the FWD 4-Cylinder Stocks as he led flag to flag while fending off Tim Campbell for the victory. In the Slingshot feature proved to be no match as he not only led every lap in the feature but did so in his heat. Turpin is also the first driver win at Bloomsburg with the class. SpeedSTR feature finish (25 laps): 1. Steve Buckwalter, 2. Briggs Danner, 3. Eddie Strada, 4. Doug Snyder, 5. TJ Mayberry, 6. Jason Muldowney, 7. Scott Houdeshell, 8. Charles Bellinger, 9.

  It's Jason Martin At The Line With The American Sprint Car Series At Jackson Motor Speedway!

  Bryan Hulbert - BYRAM, Miss. (April 20, 2023) Winner in the final race of the 2022 season to winning the 2023 season opener for the American Sprint Car Series, Thursday's showdown at Jackson Motor Speedway came down to the line for Jason Martin, who held off Seth Bergman at the by 0.049-seconds. "I'm pretty excited. That was a hell of a finish," stated Martin. "Definitely wish I was better there towards the end. That restart with fifteen to go, I already had the wing in the trunk, so I was holding on for dear life the last half of that." Fending off the last-lap charge of Seth Bergman, the No. 23 pounded the cushion at both ends of the Jackson Motor Speedway through the final six-lap run. Chasing Landon Britt for silver the first 15 laps, the No. 10 put the left-side tires to the sky momentarily and left the door open. Stalking Martin into traffic numerous times, only to have a caution clear the way for the No. 36; the final caution came on Lap 24. Rushing the top on the restart in one and two, Martin switched low in three and four. Varying his approach to the cushion, Bergman found the run with two to go. Putting the Hoosiers on the curb off the final turn, the pair shot the line in a photo finish. Landon Britt held on for third, with Howard Moore earning the KSE Hard Charger Award with an eight-spot run to fourth. Brandon Anderson completed the top five. Dale Howard, Jordon Mallett, Kyler Johnson, Matt Covington, and Chase Howard made up the top ten. The Thursday field included 21 drivers.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: James Ellis enjoying his racing return in competitive USRA Stock Car class

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 19, 2023) - James Ellis is looking for a little more speed. Even a tenth of a second can make a big difference when it comes to the highly competitive O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars division at Lucas Oil Speedway. "These cars are tough. They're so close to each other in speed," Ellis said. "There's like six or seven of us running a Mid-State engine. I used to race the old style Street Stocks and there was a lot of separation. These things … you can be running 15th and only be running a couple of tenths of a second slower than the guy winning the race." Ellis continues his quest for speed on Saturday when the USRA Stock Cars are the featured class as Lucas Oil Speedway's Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series resumes. The Stock Cars will run a special 25-lap, $750-to-win feature in the program Presented by Thunderburst Media. Ellis, a 47-year-old from Richland, is off to a solid start in 2023 with a pair of third-place feature-race finishes in four outings. He's fourth in Stock Cars points, 79 behind Rob White, after finding himself in a hole following an opening-night issue with his transmission. The brother of Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod competitor Jerry Ellis said he had hoped for better results after feeling his car was dialed in after last fall's Summit USRA Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway. "We thought we had my car pretty good at (USRA) nationals last year," Ellis said. "It was the best it was all year, really. I tried it the first race and everybody has gotten faster since last year. It wasn't as good as I thought it was." Even so, Ellis said he's having fun with the close competition in the Stock Car division after previously running Street Stocks. He's known several of his chief rivals, having grown up around Rob White and David Hendrix, among others. "I bought my first race car in 2005 and I raced it just a few times that year," Ellis said. "In 2006 I won the championship at Midway Speedway, then raced again in 2007. I quit racing then and didn't race again until last year." Not that he was far away from the sport. James often went to the track with brother Jerry and helped him. Then when Lucas Oil Speedway announced it was affiliating with USRA and running Stock Cars beginning in 2022, it seemed like the right time for James to go racing again. "This Stock Car deal seemed like a good deal and I got one of them," Ellis said. "It's been a lot of fun. I just wish I was doing better than I was." Ellis said his goal this season is a top-five finish in Lucas Oil Speedway points. He would love to win a feature, but knows it won't be easy. "I was telling Rob (White) at the tech shed last week - he and Mason (Beck) got way out ahead and there was no catching them - that you've got to find that tenth of a second and go from there. Rob has been tough. He helps me a little bit and I try to pick his brain a little bit, but he's not giving up a lot of information right now. Nobody is, really." Sponsors on Ellis' No. 83 Stock Car include Ellis Construction, Ellis Coatings, Tri County Tire Service, High Brothers Lumber and JSR Race Chassis. Joining the USRA Stock Cars on Saturday will be the Hermitage Lumber Late Models, Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds and Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods. The Late Model winner once again will take home $1,000 with heat-race bonus cash ($100, $75, $50, $25 for the top four) also available due to sponsors Wosoba Seed & Trucking, Reed Environmental and Dirt Track Specialist.

  "Mr. Excitement" Jimmy Spencer named Grand Marshall for April 20 Bloomsburg Fair Raceway Opener

  (Bloomsburg, PA 4-16-23): When the 2023 season begins on Thursday evening, April 20, at the Bloomsburg Fair Raceway, there won't only be excitement taking place on the track but off as well when "Mr. Excitement" Jimmy Spencer, will be on hand serving as Grand Marshall. The Berwick native was a wildly popular personality both on and off the track. He began racing on dirt at Port Royal Speedway and Beach Haven Speedway in a Late Model but after turning his attention to pavement and Modifieds his career began to rocket. From nearby Evergreen Raceway and then onto the biggest motorsports stages in the country, Spencer was always a showstopper. His stock really began to rise once he started competing on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour where he and his family run team where regular winners and upfront finishers. Perhaps his biggest victory during his Modified years could easily be considered the 1982 CAM2 Race of Champions held at Pocono Raceway. Spencer started from the pole, led 60 of 250 laps and beat Jamie Tomaino in winning the Crown Jewel of Modified racing. He would go on to win the 1986-87 National NASCAR Modified Tour champion which would be his springboard to racing fulltime in NASCAR's top three tiers. Between 1985 and 2006 Spencer competed between Cup, Xfinity and Truck Series and is one of only 40 drivers to have won in each. Spencer also has national wins in the NASCAR K & N East, North and West Series, ARCA Menards Series, World Series of Stock Car Racing, PASS Late Model Series, SMART Tour, ASA National Tour, ARTGO Challenge Series and ACT Pro Tour. His final race was in Cup at Pocono Raceway in 2006 but afterwards he became a popular television commentator/analyst/podcaster. In 2019 Spencer was inducted into the Eastern Motorsport Press Association Hall of Fame. His father, Ed Spencer Sr., is a winner of over 200 features and raced at the Bloomsburg Fair in 1953 when the NASCAR Series ran a 200 lap event during the annual Fair. Opening Night is Thursday, April 20 with All-Pro SpeedSTRs, 602 Crate Modifieds, FWD 4-Cylinder Stocks, Slingshots on the card. Fans will have a special autograph session with "Mr. Excitement" Jimmy Spencer during intermission. There will also be a demonstration of the kids JuiceBox Division which will have several dates during the season. The JuiceBox Division is a Radio Flyer kart for kids 10 and under. Gates will open at 5:00 pm, hot laps at 6:15 pm and racing will begin at 7:00 pm. Adult grandstand admission is $15, seniors/Military/students are $13, kids 6-12 are $5 and under 5 free.

  Newell leads all the way to win USRA B-Mod headline feature at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 15, 2023) - After mechanical issues while leading dashed his hopes for a season-opening victory at Lucas Oil Speedway last month, nothing stood in JC Newell's path to victory lane Saturday night. Newell led all 25 laps and handled restarts after four cautions to earn the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win. It was his first at Lucas Oil Speedway since the 2021 season. "It was a long night to lead for all 25 laps. Every caution had my nervous," Newell said. "But it was a really good night." Newell, of Buffalo, picked up $750 for the victory, which headlined Round 2 of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series Presented by Townsquare Media & KIX 105.7. Other feature winners on the program included Rob White (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars), Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber Late Models) and Dillon McCowan (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds). Newell and Zimmerman started on the front row and Newell grabbed the early lead with Zimmerman, Casey Thomas and Dustin Atkinson following. That's how they ran through nine laps and caught lapped traffic. A lap later, caution flew for the first time for a call stalled in the exit opening to the pits. Newell's lead with six-tenths of a second over Zimmerman at the time with Thomas, JC Morton and Mitchell Franklin rounding out the top five with 15 laps remaining. With a clear track ahead of him for the restart, Newell was able to open a 1.3-second lead by lap 14, when the event's second yellow flag slowed the action. Franklin moved to second after the restart and was challenging Newell for the lead when a four-car pileup in turn one brought out another caution. Newell cruised from there as the race ran caution-free the rest of the way. He prevailed by just under one second (.957) over Franklin with Atkinson finishing third, Morton fourth and Bobby Williams fifth. It also was Newell's first win in his Allen Autosports B-Mod, which he debuted last month. He said his father-in-law and car builder, Scotty Allen, helped with final prep on Saturday morning. "It was a rocket ship tonight; I probably didn't do a very good job of driving it those last five laps," Newell said. "But it was really good and our Ruble Racing Engine really shined tonight." White wins another USRA Stock Cars feature: Rob White of Lebanon led all 20 laps to earn his second straight O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win. White blasted away from his starting spot on the pole and needed only three laps to open a 3.1-second lead over fourth-starting James Ellis. Mason Beck moved into second position on lap six, but trailed the leader by 5.2 seconds at that point. Beck was able to whittle the margin down to 3.6 seconds by lap 14 while himself opening a similar gap over third-running William Garner. White's lead was down to 2.6 seconds by lap 16 when the race's long caution waved, setting up a four-lap shootout for the win. Beck pulled alongside on the first lap after racing resumed, but was unable to get by. White held him off the rest of the way, winning by a car length. Ellis finished third with Christopher Sawyer fourth and Zack Willis coming home in fifth. Wells scores another Late Model win: Justin Wells made it two-for-two this season in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model division, leading all 20 laps. The veteran driver from Aurora outdistanced runner-up JC Morton by 9.2 seconds or just over half a lap. It was win No. 96 in his No. 98, a 2006 TNT Late Model that Wells calls "Old Faithful." He earned $1,000 for the win, including bonus money from sponsors Wosoba Seed & Trucking, Reed Environmental and Dirt Track Specialist. "This car was flawless all night," Wells said. "I was a little worried about the weather today and about the track, but my goodness ... the track was awesome." The race had a rough first portion with three cautions and one red flag before four laps were completed. The red came on lap two after a three-car accident in turn one resulting in John Rowland's car landing on its roof. Rowland was not injured, but his car was done for the night. Action was slowed again after lap two when Dowell's car slowed on the backstretch and suddenly crossed toward the infield, leaving Tucker Cox nowhere to go and Cox plowed into the side of Dowell's car in a hard hit. Behind Morton, who advanced from ninth at the start, was Joe Walkenhorst in third, Tommy Cordray in fourth and Bryan Allison fifth. McCowan claims USRA Modifieds feature: Dillon McCowan of Urbana wasted little time moving from his fifth starting position, advancing to the front by lap five and going on to capture the 20-lap Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified win. McCowan is the two-time reigning track champ in the division, but is chasing Lucas Oil MLRA Late Model Rookie of the Year honors in 2023. This was his first USRA Modified action of the season at his home track. "I'd like to thank my entire family and all my sponsors and everybody who helps us get up and down the road," McCowan said. "We came from Iowa last night and this morning. It was a long haul. We got here with maybe two minutes to spare to get checked in." McCowan roared past early pace-setter Matt Johnson on the inside going into turn two and didn't look back. He opened a four-second lead by the halfway mark and was on his way to a lopsided final margin when a lap-14 caution wiped out his margin. Ryan Middaugh got around Johnson on the restart, but McCowan quickly opened up a comfortable margin as the final six laps remained green. Driving a new Bloodline Race Car, he finished 2.6 seconds in front of Middaugh with Johnson third, Nic Bidinger fourth and Paden Phillips fifth. "I want to say a special thanks to Cole Stansberry and Terry Phillips for putting me in this car and giving me this chance," McCowan said. "This car is absolutely amazing. It's one of the best-handling A Mods I've ever drove."

Eleventh starting Corey Day continued his tight grip of dominance in NARC 410 Sprint Series action as he won the Prelude To The Dennis Roth Classic at Thunderbowl Raceway. His winning ride in the 30-lap NAPA Auto Parts feature was the Jason Meyers-owned Meyers Constructors/Four C's Construction #14 Kistler-powered KPC. It is Day's eighth career victory with the tour for the Clovis kid and the first time he has bested the field at the Tulare County Fairgrounds 1/3-mile clay oval. The feature was a caution-plagued affair in the opening laps, including a lap one red flag incident. Shane Golobic, driving the Works Limited #57 Speedway/EMI, had the initial lead but got collected in the aforementioned stoppage. That gave the top position to Washington-hired gun Trey Starks, driving for Scelzi Motorsports. Starks, in the Scelzi Motorsports/Whipple Superchargers/Red Line Oil #4R Kistler/Maxim, had to deal with several restarts but managed to keep all challengers in check. However, Day built a boatload of positive momentum late in the race to maneuver via the bottom to his way to P1. Corey successfully obtained the top spot on lap twenty-seven to be the new trailblazer and held on the balance of the distance. "I didn't think my first Tulare win would have come like that!" said Corey Day, "People usually think I like only running top don't know I like running the bottom just as much. That was a good race for us. I have to take my hat off to Shane (Bowers) because we struggled early in the night, and he always makes the right decisions at critical times to get us where we need to be." Trey Starks managed to end the evening runner-up the while his teammate Dominic Scelzi, driving his Scelzi Motorsports/Whipple Superchargers/Red Line Oil #41 Kistler/Maxim, posted a third-place result. Cory Eliason, racing for Dennis and Theresa Roth for the first time since 2018, put the Roth Enterprises/HR Livestock Transportation/Roth Motorsports #83 Speedway/Maxim in fourth. Lastly, driving for car owner Demo Mittry, Justin Sanders completed the top five, in fifth, after having to come from the back in the Farmer's Brewing/North County Plastering/MittryConstruction.com #2X Shark Racing Engines/Maxim. Tim Kaeding, driving the Williams Motorsports/Dalton's Landscaping/Kiwi Transportation #0 Maxwell/Maxim, earned the Williams Roofing Hard Charger Award with a plus-thirteen run in the main event. The balance of the top ten was Ryan Bernal, Chase Johnson, Dylan Bloomfield, and Bud Kaeding.

  Laydon Pearson Doubles Up In Dirt2Media NOW600 Return To I-44 Speedway!

  Bryan Hulbert - OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (April 14, 2023) Three A-Features Friday night at I-44 Riverside Speedway with the Dirt2Media NOW600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division that came down to the final laps, the result was Laydon Person doubling up in A-Class and Non-Wing, while Ty Fulghum adding his name to the list of winners in Restricted. Going to Victory Lane at Port City Raceway on both occasions, Pearson's last wingless win came on July 20, 2019. Adding an A-Class win on May 11, 2021, Pearson upped his overall win total to six with the Dirt2Media NOW600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division on Friday night and sits at .833 on the season at I-44. A similar storyline in both wins, Pearson had to get by Tulsa's Shawn Mahaffey. Doing so on Lap 13 in wingless action, the pass on the No. 11 came down to the final two laps in A-Class when Shawn suffered mechanical issues on the final restart that forced him into the infield. Keeping pace over Flud in Non-Wing, the No. 81 varied his line around the one-fifth mile oval but could not mount the charge needed to deny Pearson the win. Likewise, the No. 81 would again have to settle for the show position in A-Class. Shawn Mahaffey would cross third in Non-Wing, with Johnny Boland and Jack Kassik making up the top five. Third through fifth in A-Class were Johnny Boland, Brecken Reese, and Brett Osborn. A nailbiter to the finish, Ty Fulghum fended off the last lap charge of Jett Nunley for his first career Restricted A-Feature win with the Dirt2Media NOW600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division. Saved from traffic once before, that was not the case as the field raced into the final five laps. Using the slower cars as picks on Nunley, the No. 33 would have to settle for second. Garyn Howard, Chase McDougal, and Cale Lagroon comprised the top five. The series' first time back at the Oklahoma City oval since 2017, a field of 86 entries was on hand with the Dirt2Media NOW600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division. Racing continues at I-44 Riverside Speedway on Saturday, April 15. Grandstands open at 5:00 P.M., with Hot Laps at 6:15 P.M. and Racing at 7:00 P.M. (CDT).

  Mintz opens Attica season with last lap, last corner All Star win; Schlenk earns 36th career late model victory

  ATTICA, Ohio - Gibsonburg, Ohio's Craig Mintz executed a last lap last corner pass to score his second career Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions victory to open Attica Raceway Park's 2023 season and the Core and Main Spring Nationals presented by Construction Equipment and Supply, Advanced Drainage Systems, Erie Blacktop, and Smith Paving. It was the 137th appearance of Tony Stewart's All Stars at "Ohio's Finest Racing" speed plant. Mintz was running fourth when the caution flew with 10 laps to go. The former Attica track champion used the yellow to cool his tires and it paid off. He moved into third on lap 28 and took second with six laps to go and quickly closed on leader Zeb Wise. Entering the final two turns, Mintz drove to the outside of Wise and the drag race to the checkers saw Mintz win by .074 seconds. It was his 16th career win at Attica and his first All Star win since April of 2012. "We've been struggling with bleeders all night. Just couldn't get going on those long runs. During that caution I was actually trying to cool my tires down. I knew we had a great car and I probably showed my hand a little early. It's fun to race with Zeb (Wise). We were both really going for it…you could probably measure that win in millimeters," Mintz said beside his Real Geese Decoys, Modern Woodman of America, KS Sales and Service, NAPA of Fremont backed #09. "This means so much. My dad, the guys behind me, my wife, my kids…they all bust their butts to give me the chance to race. We're out here doing it for fun," Mintz added. "That was frustrating," said Wise beside his Rayce Rudeen Foundation, Sundollar Restoration, Hager Realty backed #26. "Hats off to Craig. He drove one heck of a race. I feel like I let my team down there. I really didn't know where to go in turns one and two." "Last week we won with a last lap pass (at Williams Grove Speedway) and tonight we got beat by one. Hopefully tomorrow we can finish it with a win," added Wise who led laps 28 through 34. Sikeston, Missouri's Hunter Schuerenberg led the first 27 laps and held on to finish third, followed by Brent Marks and Parker Price-Miller. "You are almost a sitting duck on a restart like that. You don't know if you should stay where you have been running or try a different line and you don't know what line the guys behind you are running. It didn't work out for us tonight but we finally put a whole night together. We've been fast all year but just haven't had the results so this is a big step forward," said Schuerenberg of his TK Concrete, Maxim Trucking, Logan Contractor Supply, Eddie Gilstrap Motors backed #55. Despite losing his brakes half way through the Dirt Nerds Podcast, Propane.com UMP Late Model A-main, McClure, Ohio's Rusty Schlenk took the lead from Ryan Missler on lap 18 and drove to his 36th career victory at Attica. "Normally I run the cushion but it wasn't there tonight so I had to go to the bottom. I almost forgot how to run down there. After the start of the season we've had from engine and transmission issues to problems with the truck and trailer….this is a huge shot in the arm," said McClure beside his Velocita Firesuits, Buckeye Concrete Coatings, Terry Henricks Chrysler; Tom Finch Auto, VP Fuel, Dominator Race Products, Forbes Construction, All Star Performance, Mullins Engines, Willy's Carbs backed #91. Missler jumped out to the early lead in the late model feature as Schlenk, Nathan Loney, Doug Drown and Eric Spangler battled for second. Schlenk drove from third to the lead on lap 18 and after a spirited battle with Missler, pulled away for the win. Spangler, Drown, Loney and Missler rounded out the top five. Attica Raceway Park will wrap up the Core & Main Spring Nationals Saturday, April 15 with the 305 sprints joining the All Stars.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: After fast-but-frustrating season debut, JC Newell looks for USRA B-Mod success

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 13, 2023) - Opening night at Lucas Oil Speedway was the ultimate good news/bad news outcome for JC Newell in the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod division. Debuting a new Allen Autosports car - without so much as a lap of practice - the 26-year-old from Buffalo didn't know what to expect when he unloaded back on March 25th. "I was pretty nervous going into that weekend," Newell said. "It was the first time I'd taken a new car out like that, with no practice. I was surprised for it to be as quick as it was." Newell led the first 11 laps in the feature and had a 1.5-second command when he suddenly slowed and pulled to the infield. What appeared to be a victory with his grasp disappeared in a blink. "A maintenance issue on my end kind of cost us," Newell said, noting a throttle linkage fell off the carburetor. "We were just excited to come right out of the box with the speed we had the first night, but definitely upset because we felt we gave one away. But we'd rather break leading than running 10th or something." Newell looks forward to getting into a regular racing rhythm, beginning with Saturday night's Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series program. The Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods are the headline class, running a 25-lap feature for $750 to win. He's also looking forward to getting back to regular contention at Lucas Oil Speedway, where he was fourth in B-Mod season points in 2021 with one feature win and four other top-five finishes. Newell wound up fifth in the deep, talented B-Mod division in 2020. Last year saw a curtailed schedule after Newell and wife Lindsey welcomed son Deacon in February. Now 14 months, Deacon is enjoying his time around the track, probably destined to someday become a fourth-generation Newell racer. "We also had some problems getting some engine parts and didn't have our motor for most of the season," Newell said of 2022. "So we ran a pretty limited schedule last year." Racing definitely is a family affair. Newell's younger brother Dayton and dad Ben race Midwest Mods and his grandfather "Big JC" drove pavement cars until recent years. His father-in-law, Scotty Allen, is well known for both his driving and car-building skills. Allen, Ben Newell and "Big JC" all are members of the Ozarks Area Racers Foundation Hall of Fame. JC Newell said he's looking forward to racing with Allen some this season as Scotty gets a chance to compete in B-Mods. "Just hopefully try and win some races," JC Newell said of his goals in a new-look car that has a primary color of orange. He figured the new car was a perfect time to change up the appearance. "My dad used to race an orange car back in the day and I wanted to do something bright and different and stand out," JC said of the new look. "We had run red and white and it seemed like a lot of guys were in red and white. We just wanted to try something different." Newell's sponsors include Prime Inc., Los Hermanos Mexican Restaurant, The Butcher Shop, Royal Heating and Air, Pomme Plumbing LLC, Bite Me Hooks, Scotty's Signs & Wraps, KR Performance Fuels LLC, RACE Schock Service and Ruble Racing Engines. The Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods will headline Round Two of the Weekly Racing Series Presented by Townsquare Media and KIX 105.7 FM. The Hermitage Lumber Late Models, Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars also will be in action.

  "SHUGAH" SHANE SEXTON RETURNS TO 410 SPRINT CAR RACING THIS SATURDAY AT PERRIS

  (Warner Springs, CA, April 12, 2023) After nearly a year out of the cockpit, popular young sprint car racer "Shugah" Shane Sexton will return to 410 sprint car racing when the USAC/CRA Series hits the dirt at Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday night, April 15th. The inclusion of the 18-year-old adds to a strong group of young drivers who are already making a mark for themselves in USAC/CRA. 292681621_413771460783493_2749794471638609285_n.jpg "Shugah" Shane Sexton at Perris Auto Speedway. Saturday's race will be 50 weeks after the last time Sexton drove the family-owned #74. Ironically that race was also at Perris Auto Speedway. Early in the main event, the Warner Springs, California teen tangled with another car just past the start-finish line. A blink of an eye later he began a wild series of spectacular flips that stopped when he hit the turn-one crash wall. Moments after the car stopped flipping, he hopped out of the car uninjured. "I could not be more excited," Sexton enthused over the phone on Wednesday evening. "The anticipation for this race has been building up for a while. I have had a couple letdowns not getting to race, but now that we had the car running today, it is all real now. It started right up. Way faster than I thought it would be. We messed with a couple things on the fueling and it is ready to rip now." "Honestly to me, it is having 900 horsepower at the snap of a finger," Sexton answered when asked what is so big about driving a 410 sprint car. "The feeling is like no other and I have been racing cars for 15 years. I have not raced anything like it. The excitement, the thrill, living life on the edge. Going into a corner at 100 mph is a feeling like no other." 2022 was Sexton's rookie season in 410 sprint cars. He was in his sixth race when he had the big crash at Perris. In the five races prior, he showed a propensity to pass cars in the main event and always finished in a better position than he started. In those races, he went from 21st to 14th, 25th to 21st, 18th to 11th, 22nd to 14th, and 21st to 12th. "Honestly, I would rather start at the front and finish there," Sexton laughed. "But I bury myself in qualifying every time. A track in the main event tends to be drier than the rest of the day. I have raced at my local track at Barona and it goes dry every single time. So, I feel like I have an advantage on a dry track." The friendly driver had planned to be back in his 410 long before now. However, he was waiting on the delivery of an engine. The disappointment was driving him up the walls. "Pretty frustrating," the young driver confirmed. "I raced some lightning stuff here and there. That does not get the job done for me (compared to racing a 410). Watching cars that I have raced against go around in a circle while I had one sitting in the garage is pretty frustrating. Waiting this long and getting the motor back finally makes it all worth it." While Sexton did not get in any more 410 races in 2023 after the big crash, he excelled in lightning sprints. Driving for Northern California car owners Brian Fonseca and Samantha Sproull, the team made 14 appearances in three different states. On May 28th he placed second in a POWRi National main event at the Central Missouri Speedway. He headed for the prestigious Dirt Cup in Washington and won round #2 on July 15th. In October, he bested another top-notch field in round #2 of the Cal Cup in Lemoore, California. All told in the 14 races, he had two wins, four top-five finishes and eight top-10s. Even though he is keying on racing his 410, Sexton plans on racing a lightning at the MinKota Nationals this summer. In addition to being a promising talent behind the wheel, Sexton possesses a sensational personality that endears him to spectators. When fans have a chance, they are urged to stop by and talk to him in the pits when the races end. Saturday's spectator gates at Perris will open at 5:00 PM. The first race will begin at 7:00. Adult tickets are $30.00. For fans aged 65 and over it is $25.00. Kids 6 to 12 get in for just $5.00 and children 5 and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charges $10.00 for parking. There will be plenty of tickets available for everyone at the ticket window on Saturday. The event will not sell out. For those who wish to purchase tickets in advance, they are available 24 hours a day at the following link https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 or by calling 1-800-595-4849. Sexton and the #74 team wish to extend their thanks to the following 2022 racing season partners. Gas Chassis, Key Brothers Racing, Powder 1, Savage Racing, AG Sandcars, and Ron's Tire and Brake. If you would like to be a part of this fun, upcoming team and get exposure not only at the tracks but around the world on Flo Racing, please contact Shane Sexton at mailto:Shanesexton7@gmail.com or (619) 362-5921.

  Andreotti Opens BCRA Midgets Triple Crown Series With Win At Antioch Speedway

  Antioch, CA...April 8...Jake Andreotti of Castro Valley won the 30 lap BCRA Midgets Main Event Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. This was the 63rd season opening race at the Contra Costa County Fairgrounds venue. It was also the opening round of the three-race special BCRA Triple Crown Series at the track, which pays $2,000 to win each race and has a special point fund. Past USAC Western States Midgets and WMR Midgets champion Blake Bower of Brentwood raced into the early lead ahead of Caden Sarale of Stockton. Andreotti found his way into third by the sixth lap. A Turn 4 pass on Lap 9 gained Sarale the lead. Andreotti motored into second on Lap 11. Andreotti quickly started to challenge Sarale,, and they caught a slower car on Lap 14. Andreotti went high in Turn 2, while Sarale went low and surrendered the lead. Through a pair of slowdowns during the second half of the race, Andreotti stayed smooth and went on to score the impressive win. Sarale settled for the $1,150 second place finish, followed by Bower, Jake Morgan of Fair Oaks and Bryant Bell of Oakley. Matt Kile of San Jose won the 20 lap Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stock Main Event. Kile charged into the lead at the start ahead of Jared Baugh of Pittsburg. Kile didn't receive much of a threat in this race, but Baugh, Danny Wagner of Bay Point and Grayson Baca of Brentwood had a spirited battle going for second. Baugh held the spot until being passed by Baca on Lap 11. Wagner quickly moved into third and executed to Turn 2 pass on the last lap for what he thought would be second. However, Baca came back strong and beat Wagner back to the line by inches. Kile cruised to the well-earned victory. Baugh settled for fourth ahead of Kevin Brown of Oakley. Antioch's David Michael Rosa won the 20 lap Delta Dwarf Car Main Event. Several drivers were involved in different mishaps during the first 14 laps that caused five yellow flags. Through it all, reigning Delta Dwarf Car champion Danny Wagner of Bay Point led the way. Dublin's Devan Kammermann spun out of second on Lap 7, moving Ellie Russo of Bay Point into the position. However, Chance Russell of Antioch gained second a lap later. Rosa slipped past Russell for second on a Lap 14 restart and gained the lead when Wagner slowed on Lap 18 with mechanical issues. Rosa went on to win ahead of Russell, Russo, Travis Day of Concord and Pete Piantanida of Discovery Bay. Greg Dennett of Livermore won the 20 lap BCRA Lightning Sprint Main Event. Scott Kinney led two laps before being passed by Dennett on the back stretch on Lap 3. Dakota Albright of Waterford made a Turn 4 pass on Kinney for second on Lap 5, but Dennett had already built a straightaway advantage by then. Dennett cruised to victory ahead of Albright, Harlee Aguilera of Orangevale, Josef Ferolito of Modesto and Cody Meyer of Placerville Joel Hannagan of San Jose won the 15 lap Hardtop Main Event. Ronnie Ruiz of West Sacramento led two laps before Brad Coelho of Oakley got by in Turn 4 for the lead. Hannagan followed closely into second, and Hannagan made a Turn 4 pass a lap later to take the lead from Coelho. As Hannagan pulled away, Coello and Ruiz battled fiercely for second. Ruiz made a Turn 4 pass to gain the spot on Lap 7, only to surrender the position to Coelho with an inside move on the frontstretch on Lap 11. Hannagan went on to victory ahead of Coelho, Ruiz, Joe Shenefield of Antioch and Ken Clifford of Placerville. After a strong postseason effort last year, San Bruno's Dana Gardner resumed his impressive efforts with a 20 lap Print Club Mini Stock Main Event win. Gardner led from the outside with Eddie Humphrey III of Torrance an early second. Humphrey held the position until a Lap 9 yellow flag. Humphrey pitted, and Gardner resumed command ahead of reigning champion Tom Brown of Santa Rosa and Tony Quinonez of Corning. As Gardner sped to the impressive win by a wide margin, Brown managed to hold off Quinonez in a close battle for second. Newcomer Max Finley of Santa Rosa wheeled his Ford Pinto Wagon to a fourth place finish ahead Don Abitz of Pittsburg. At the opening ceremonies, several drivers came out to do a memorial lap for BCRA Hall of Fame member Jim Screeton, who died in a motorcycle accident back in March. Racing continues next weekend with the Hunt Wingless Spec Sprint Tour, the IMCA Sport Modifieds and 600 Micro Sprints competing. For further information, go to www.antiochspeedway.com.

  Wilson dominates, avoids trouble to win Easter Bowl Enduro 150 at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 8, 2023) - The battle of endurance belonged to Jeremy Wilson on Saturday night as the Humboldt, Kansas, driver dominated en route to the Easter Bowl Enduro 150 victory at Lucas Oil Speedway. Wilson finished nearly two laps in front of runner-up Michael Gillis of Clever with Curtis Turpin of Eldon two laps behind the winner in third. Driving a Chevy Malibu from a 21st-starting position, Wilson collected $1,500 for the win as he lead 138 of the 150 laps. One year ago in the inaugural Easter Bowl Enduro 150, Wilson came home second behind Saturday's fourth-place finisher Clay Goodman. "I was glad to one-up him this year," Wilson said in victory lane. The race started with the cars lined up three-wide and it was Kevin Perkins setting the early pace. Perkins started on the outside of row one and he led the first five laps before Jeremy Wilson became the new leader. Goodman, winner of the 2022 Easter Bowl Enduro, moved into second by lap 11, just under three seconds behind Wilson. On lap 21, Goodman went for a spin while in second place as he was tapped by a slower car. He was able to get going and maintain third place and a lap later was back in second - but 12 seconds behind Wilson. Wilson's lead grew to 13 seconds by lap 28 with Gillis third and Perkins in fourth. There were still 20 of the 28 starters running by lap 50 and Wilson's lead was down to 7.3 seconds over Goodman. Wilson's lead was suddenly gone on lap 57 when a lapped car clipped him in the rear and sent him spinning. Goodman went into the lead and it was Wilson's turn to do as Goodman did earlier - recover and pursue. Wilson settled in second pace with Goodman 6.9 seconds in front by lap 60. He soon was back in front. Goodman tangled with a slower car on lap 64 and that sent the lead back to Wilson for the race's fourth lead change. Meanwhile, Turpin moved into third, in front of Gillis, with Butch Knox in fifth. Goodman whittled into Wilson's lead, trailing by 4.6 seconds as the race hit the midway point on lap 75 with 16 cars were still on the track. On lap 80, Goodman was spun by the slower car of Dallas Butchee heading into turn one, handing Wilson with a 15-second lead. The spins took a toll on Goodman as Wilson put the runner-up a lap behind by lap 89. From there for Wilson, it was just a matter of avoiding trouble and hoping nothing would break. As the race hit the 100-lap mark, only 12 cars remained in action. Wilson led by a lap and a half over second-place Gillis with Goodman falling back to third. He pitted soon after to change a tire and by the time he returned was five laps down. Wilson pulled right behind Gillis on lap 125 and was content to ride behind his nearest competitor rather than attempt a pass that could put him two laps down. The winner avoided any mishaps or mechanical issues as the laps counted down and took the checkers by a one-lap margin over Gillis with Turpin third, two laps down. Goodman rallied after his tire change to finish fourth, four laps behind the winner, with Brandon Vink finishing fifth. "It was a lot of fun. The track was great tonight," said Wilson, who said he has a lot of people who help him out though "not so much on this car. I've got a couple of other Outlaw Enduro cars that I race as well down in Texas." The race was completed in 58 minutes, 55 seconds and did not have any red-flag stoppages. A dozen cars were still rolling at the finish. Rob White takes USRA Stock Cars feature: Rob White of Lebanon led all 25 laps to earn the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars Summit Shootout qualifying win. White started on the outside front row and blasted to a 2.3-second lead over pole-starting Dean Willie by lap six. A caution at that point bunched the field in the 25-lapper. Wille and James McMillin battled for second as White continued to lead through the mid portion of the race as the field finally settled into a consistent green-flag run after six cautions. White's lead was 1.3 seconds over Wille by lap 20, with Jeff Tennant running third and Mason Beck fourth. It was all White from there as he wound up 2.6 seconds in front of Wille at the finish. "I've got that new Mid-State Machine motor and it's a pretty good piece," White said of his ability to control the pace on each restart. Beck wound up third with Tennant fourth and William Garner fifth. White took home $1,500 and clinched a spot in the USRA Stock Cars Summit Shootout during one of the nights of the USRA Nationals, Oct. 2-7 at Lucas Oil Speedway. Key handles restarts to earn Midwest Mods win: Matthew Key of Chanute, Kansas, got in front at the start and never surrendered the lead in a caution-flag-plagued POWRi Midwest Mods feature. Key set the early pace, cruising from his third starting position to the lead by the completion of lap one. He remained up front despite an avalanche of caution flags 10 over the first 12 laps) with Tanner Kade advancing from sixth to third by lap six. Challenged with the numerous restarts, Key continued to excel on each to protect his lead as Kade and Jacob Hall battled behind him with Anthony Ferrara running fourth. That's how the running order wound up as the scheduled 20-lap race was shortened to 14 laps due to the numerous cautions. The win was Kay's third in three attempts overall this season. "That's just part of it," Key said of the cautions. "You've got to kind of count on yellows. You kind of roll with it and get it however you can get it."

  BRODY ROA CONTINUES TO ROLL WITH A SECOND-PLACE USAC/CRA FINISH AT THE MOHAVE VALLEY RACEWAY

  (Cypress, CA, April 6, 2023) USAC/CRA point leader Brody Roa continued his impressive season in the Inland Rigging #17R when he raced to a second-place finish last Saturday at the Mohave Valley Raceway. The finish allowed the Garden Grove, California driver to extend his lead to 34 points after the first four races of the year. 337419773_889477388982387_8264439381609066114_n.jpg Brody Roa has two wins and two second-places finishes in the Inland Rigging #17R in USAC/CRA racing in 2023. Doug Allen photo. An impressive field of 30 cars showed up to entertain the packed grandstands at the track that is located just minutes from the Colorado River. After a delay due to repairs on the corner signal lights, the cars went qualifying. Roa, who came into the night with two wins and a second-place finish in the first three races of the year, turned in the second-fastest time of the night with a lap of 13.966. Teammate Tommy Dunkel of Murrieta posted a 15.513 on his first-ever visit to the track. Roa, the 2016 USAC West Coast, and 2019 USAC Southwest Sprint Car champion, started sixth in the second heat race. By the end of the first lap, the veteran driver had steered his way up to second and he shot into the lead in turn one on lap two. However, in a traffic jam coming in turn four on the second go around, he got clobbered from behind and slid back to third. Not one to rest on his laurels, Roa ran the top in one and two and the bottom in three and four. By the end of the third lap, he was back up to second and he flew back into the lead on lap six. He led the remainder of the way in the 10-lapper and scored the victory by eight car lengths. One race later it was Dunkel's shot in the heat races. Starting in the seventh spot, he initially moved up to sixth in his first-ever race at the track. After a good battle for the position, he slipped back and finished in seventh. Dunkel was right back on the track for the 12-lap B main. Starting in 11th, he got caught in someone else's mess in turn two on the opening lap and came to a stop. He restarted at the back and worked his way up to ninth, but a spin sent him to the back again. With just three laps remaining, he quickly worked his way back to ninth. However, he ran out of time as he had to get back to sixth to garner one of the transfer spots to the A main. The show wrapped up with the 30-lap main event that had Roa starting in sixth. The first five laps featured a tumultuous amount of yellow flags. Roa stayed clear of the high-powered chaos and moved up to fourth. The "Pride of Garden Grove" was docked in that spot until the end of the 19th circuit when he advanced to third. At that point, he was still not done. He chased down and passed the second-place car with two laps to go. However, by that time the leader was long gone and the only hopes Roa had were for an intervening yellow flag. Neither of those scenarios played out and he had to be satisfied with a hard-fought-for and well-deserved second-place finish. "Thank you all for staying around and watching that," Roa told the crowd when interviewed by Ronnie Everhart after the race. "I was hoping for a caution there at the end because I think we were pretty good. At least make him (winner Chase Johnson) work for it instead of him out there cruising by himself. All jokes aside, congratulations to those guys." "It was a tough track to pass on," Roa continued. It was, don't miss the bottom but don't hit the water. Another second, on the year, we will take it. Thanks to all my guys. My dad, my wife, my daughter, Zac (crew chief Zac Bozanich), Tom & Christy (car owners Tom and Christy Dunkel), and their whole group." Roa is taking the Easter weekend off, but teammate Dunkel will be racing his powerful Shaver 360 in Saturday's VRA Sprint Car race at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway. It will be his first race at the track since last November's Turkey Night Grand Prix. On that night Dunkel transferred from the B to the A main where he started 22nd. He moved forward throughout the 30-lap race and came home with an impressive 13th-place finish. One month earlier on the popular 1/5 mile oval, he finished third in the VRA main event. If you want to see Dunkel live on one of the country's most popular racetracks this Saturday, spectator gates will open at 3:00 p.m. and the first race will be at 5:30. Adult tickets are $18.00. For seniors 60 and over, and military & students with id, it is $15.00. Kids 12 and under are free when they are accompanied by an adult. The track is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard (93001). The website is http://venturaraceway.com/ and the office phone number is (805) 648-RACE. As always, Roa would be more than happy to jump in a race car on his weekends off from the #17R. His entire schedule is printed below. If anybody wishes to contact him about open dates, they can do so at 714-932-7994 or mailto:brodyroa91@gmail.com The team wants to thank the following sponsors for making the 2023 season possible.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: "Weekend Warrior" Collins eager for Easter Bowl 150 Enduro

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 6, 2023) - Evan Collins is used to helping put on thrill shows for fans, as part of his job as an official with the Monster Truck Insanity Tour. This time, Collins is looking forward to being a part of the big show Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Collins, from Van Buren, Arkansas, will start on the front row of the Easter Bowl 150 Enduro at Lucas Oil Speedway. The 150-lap race is for cars that are basically street-legal with some racing modifications for safety. It's a free-for-all with bumping, banging and spins. Stoppages occur only for a red flag, if the track is blocked for a dangerous situation. "I'm there to put on a show for the people who come to watch it," Collins said. "I've been in the live entertainment industry for three or four years now. It's about the people who spend their money who come to the show and come to support Lucas Oil and us weekend warriors." The first car to endure the mayhem and make it to 150 laps wins the $1,500 first prize. Drivers will lineup in the order that entries were received and Collins is No. 2, scheduled to take the green from the middle of row one in a three-wide, standing-star format. "The best advice I can give somebody - along with myself - is to just stay out of the carnage," Collins said. "The best car is probably not going to win. A guy last year went from 33rd to 3rd, purely by attrition. It's more bob and weave for an hour and a half." Collins, 27, said he's done some dirt-track racing in the past, but has mostly stuck with Enduro and Demolition Derbies as hobbies. His best Enduro finish has been a fifth, but he won a demolition derby last fall at home hometown track in Van Buren. "But this will be by far the biggest Enduro that I've been to," he said. Collins said his job with the Monster Truck Insanity Tour involves flying into a city, laying out the track, working the show as an official and interacting with the crowd. When it's over, he said the goal is to tear everything down and "put things back to normal and leave it better than how we found it." This will be his first trip to Lucas Oil Speedway and he's gone through his 1970 Buick Century "with a fine-tooth comb" to get it prepared for the action. "We're just going up there to have fun," Collins said. Clay Goodman of Carthage came home the winner of last year's inaugural Easter Bowl 150 Enduro. Troy Mitchell, of Henley, Mo., was a distant second and Jeremy Wilson of Humboldt, Kansas, wound up third after starting 33rd. Enduro entry is $150 and entry forms can be found on the Drivers' Dashboard section of LucasOilSpeedway.com. Payout for the Enduro race will be: 1st $1,500; 2nd $800; 3rd $750; 4th $500; 5th $300, 6th $250; 7th $200; 8th $175; 9th $150 and 10th $125. The O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars will be a USRA Summit Shootout Qualifier, paying $1,500 to win and $150 to start. B-Main non-qualifiers will earn $110 and there will be a $50 entry in the division. To qualify for the Summit Shootout, which will be held in October during the week-long 10th annual Summit USRA Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway, you must be a current track champion at a Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series track or win a Summit Shootout Qualifier during the 2023 racing season. If the winner of a Summit Shootout Qualifier also is a track champion, the second-place finisher in the Qualifier will get the invite to race in the Summit Shootout. In the Midwest Mods it will be $600 to win and $110 to start with $70 going to B-Main non-qualifiers. Entry will be $25 and Midwest Mods will follow a POWRi Midwest Mod rules package. Pit gates will open at 4 p.m. with grandstands at 5, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.

  Easter Bowl Enduro 150 coming up Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway with $1,500 going to winner

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 4, 2023) - Expect a wild and entertaining time on Saturday night when Enduro racing returns to Lucas Oil Speedway for the Easter Bowl 150 Enduro. The winner will earn $1,500 in the unique format with action only slowed if the track is blocked, requiring a red flag. Drivers can check out the Enduro rules on the Lucas Oil Speedway website. The race will begin from a standing start with drivers lined up on the front straightaway three-wide. Predictably wild in the inaugural Easter Bowl 150 a year ago, the race for cars that are basically street-legal with some racing modifications for safety, was a free-for-all with bumping, banging and spins - but only one brief stoppage for a red flag. It took one hour, five minutes to complete and proved that the fastest was not necessarily the first to finish. Clay Goodman of Carthage came home the winner. Troy Mitchell, of Henley, Mo., was a distant second and Jeremy Wilson of Humboldt, Kansas, wound up third after starting 33rd. Enduro entry is $150 and entry forms can be found on the Drivers' Dashboard section of LucasOilSpeedway.com. Payout for the Enduro race will be: 2nd $800; 3rd 500; 4th $300, 5th $200, 6th $175; 7th $150; 8th $125; 9th and 10th $100. O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars will race for $1,500 to win that evening and POWRi Midwest Mods go after a $600 first prize as a special guest class. Stock Cars will have a $50 entry free and Midwest Mods $25. Pit gates will open at 4 p.m. with grandstands at 5, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. Easter Bowl Enduro 150 ticket information: Advance discount tickets online only (16 and up) - $12 Adults (16 and up) - $15 Seniors (62 and up)/Military - $12 Youth (ages 6-15) - $5 Kids (5 and under) - FREE Family pass (two adults and up to three youth) - $35 Pit pass - $35 Off Road practice Saturday afternoon: Also on Saturday afternoon, due to a high interest in the inaugural MidAmerica Outdoors Side-by-Side Series event set for April 28-29 a practice day on the Off Road track will be held from noon-4 p.m. Pit gates will open at 10 a.m. with pit passes $25. That pass also will be good for admission into the Easter Bowl Enduro 150 program on the dirt track. SRX roster of drivers expands, with tickets on sale: General admission tickets for the Superstar Racing Experience (SRX) race scheduled for Aug. 17 at Lucas Oil Speedway remain on sale.

  USRA, Lucas Oil Speedway announce sanctions, fines for competitors Jackson and White

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 3, 2023) - The United States Racing Association and Lucas Oil Speedway on Monday announced sanctions and fines for USRA B-Mod driver Kris Jackson and USRA Stock Cars driver Bryan White, for post-race behavior last Saturday night. Jackson will be fined $500, suspended from all USRA-sanctioned events for two weeks and put on a one-year probationary period. Jackson won the feature, but was penalized for his post-race comments, aired live on Flo Racing as part of a MAVTV Motorsports production. White's penalty stems from a post-race altercation with his race car striking the rear of race-winner David Hendrix and shoving it down the front stretch as safety workers were rushing to the scene. He was fined by the USRA $500, suspended for 14 days and put on a one-year probation. Lucas Oil Speedway also imposed a four-week suspension on White and a loss off all Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series points accumulated so far this season. White's speedway suspension is due to end on May 6 (barring rain outs, in which case it would be carried over an additional week). "Actions like this from both drivers will not be tolerated and are unsportsmanlike conduct that is detrimental to the sport. Actions like these cannot be tolerated," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said, noting that he and USRA President Todd Staley reviewed videos of the incidents. "I would like to apologize to the fans who had to witness these actions," Lorton added. Other drivers involved in the last-lap incidents in both the Stock Cars and B-Mod features also will be placed on probationary periods to be determined by the USRA. Both drivers' actions violated the following USRA rule involving conduct: USRA Rule Section 3: Conduct 3.1 - "Participants will conduct themselves as professionals. Any conduct or actions by a participant deemed inappropriate and/or unsportsmanlike by the USRA shall be grounds for disqualification and/or punitive action by the USRA. This will be strictly enforced." Lorton said White's incident involved using his car to put others' lives at risk, leading to the longer suspension and loss of points. Unsportsmanlike conduct: "Any driver/crew member/participant found by Lucas Oil Speedway officials to be engaging in unsportsmanlike behavior or any inappropriate behavior that affects the orderly conduct of an event, the interests of racing, or Lucas Oil Speedway will receive a penalty." Lucas Oil Speedway is back in action this Saturday with the Easter Bowl 150 Enduro. O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars and POWRi Midwest Mods also will be in action. Pit gates will open at 4 p.m. with grandstands at 5, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. Also on Saturday afternoon, due to a high interest in the inaugural MidAmerica Outdoors Side-by-Side Series event set for April 28-29 a practice day on the Off Road track will be held from noon-4 p.m. Pit gates will open at 10 a.m. with pit passes $25. That pass also will be good for admission into the Easter Bowl Enduro 150 program on the dirt track.

  I-35 Speedway Race Recap 4-1-23

  One hundred and sixteen (116) racecars checked in to I-35 Speedway for McCarthy Auto Group opening night. Fans were treated to 3 and sometimes 4 wide racing as drivers put on a thrilling night of ultra-fast competitive action. Pure Stocks were first to hit the track at feature time with Jeffery Sears finding his way back to McCarthy Auto Group victory Lane. Sears had a series of battles with drivers that included defending track champion Ava Dixon and Conrad Kauffman. In the end Sears would pull away to pick up the win. Kauffman picked up the second position, Jakub Hisel gained four positions on the night to pick up a podium finish in third, followed by Ava Dixon and Trevor Hittle. E-Mods we're next for their twelve-lap feature event. Tim Eaton picked up the win as he would motor away after every restart. Adam Dunwoodie, once he found his line would be a man on a mission as he picked up seven positions to finish second, Tim Parrott ran up front all night and came home third, Aaron Jones would battle early for the lead, finishing fourth, followed by Kenny Prince who had a good night overall. Ed Noll picked up where he left off last season. Noll, the defending track champion would roll into McCarthy Auto Group victory Lane for the first time in 2023. Houston Johnson and Tommy Cordray would have a great battle with Johnson finishing second and Cordray third, followed by Vic Lovejoy and Harold Robb Jr. The USRA B-Mods were next to hit the track and would start an almost 3 race streak of green to checker finishes. Dylan VanWyk made his first trip to I-35 Speedway a successful one, picking up the win. It wasn't an easy one for VanWyk as he had to get past I-35 Speedway veteran Daniel Harris, who led the first 3/4 of the race. VanWyk made a daring move going between two lap cars using them as a pick to get by Harris to win. Harris made it exciting at the end finishing a close second, Jace Whitt, who came into his own last season came home third, Corey Myers followed up a great 2022 season by finishing fourth and Dakota Girard finished fifth after a great battle with Kyler Girard. Another defending track champion returned to McCarthy Auto Group victory lane in the first race of 2023 with another green to checker finish. Nic Hanes said "I don't need your rocking' chair" just yet as he parked his hot rod in McCarthy Auto Group victory lane. Hanes had a great battle with Tommy Ground and Kameron Hanes, his son early on before eventually pulling away. Ground would finish second followed by the younger Hanes in third and another battle ensued with Gerald Wahwahsuck finishing fourth and Jeff Dixon fifth. In the USRA Modifieds yet another defending champion rolled his car to a win to start off the 2023 season. Tyler Hibner picked up where he left off in 2022 as he celebrated another win at I-35 Speedway. Houston Johnson made a last lap pass on Ethan Braaksma to finish second, Braaksma, would finish third in his first trip to I-35 Speedway. Lee Hibner battled up front early on, and would eventually fall to fourth, followed by a hard charging Scott Bryant in fifth. Elijah Hoyt looked bad fast as he picked up his first Sport Compact feature win at I-35 Speedway. Chris Wright found his line a little late as he would get up to finish second, Alvin Cooney made his first trip back to I-35 Speedway a successful one finishing third followed by Jonnathon Hartman and Brad Mick in fourth and fifth. This would be the inaugural race in the Jr Sport Compact division with Eddy Noll joining his dad in the McCarty Auto Group victory lane. Noll would be chased all night by Payton Hanes in second, Maddy Barr in third and Landry Cooney in fourth. Great job by all these young drivers. Join us next week for Premier Lubricants night at I-35 Speedway as we kick off the I-35 Speedway fan of the week and we see who takes their Hot Rod to McCarthy Auto Group victory Lane.

  Davenport dominates at Lucas Oil Speedway for MLRA Spring Nationals Night 2 triumph

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 1, 2023) - Jonathan Davenport is considered the king of Late Model dirt racing these days and his dominant performance on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway did nothing to dispel that notion. Davenport, of Blairsville, Georgia, led all 40 laps in spanking the field in a caution-free 40-lap feature on Night of the 10th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Spring Nationals Presented by Arizona Sport Shirts. The three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champion and 2015 Show-Me 100 winner needed only 11 minutes and 3 seconds in going green-to-checkers, picking up $10,000. The win came one night after "Superman" finished second to Ricky Thornton Jr. It was his fifth overall in 2023 and ninth career MLRA triumph. "Last night we just got behind in qualifying," said Davenport, who swept Saturday's action as he set fast qualifying lap and won his heat race in addition to wiring the feature field. "I've got to thank my crew on this one here. This is a new car that they built in the past week. Everybody at Longhorn from the fab guys to the assembly guys to the parts guys ... I really appreciate it. "Our guys put their heads together and really hit on something tonight. I've got to thank them." Reigning MLRA Series champ Chad Simpson of Mount Vernon, Iowa, finished second, 2.9 seconds in back of Davenport. Garrett Alberson of Las Cruces, N.M., was third. Davenport sprinted to the lead and already was passing lapped cars, just six laps into the race. He had a 3.1-second lead over fellow front-row starter Chad Simpson with Spencer Hughes running third in the early going. Continuing to set a blistering pace, Davenport maintained his command as the race soared past the halfway point. He was 3.6 seconds clear of Simpson with Garrett Alberson another two seconds behind the runner-up by lap 25. From that point on, it was all about handling lapped traffic and Davenport did so in expert fashion. Even as Simpson gradually cut into the lead over the final 10 laps, Davenport's lead was never in doubt. "You can't ever take your foot off the gas with these guys. You start loafing through lapped traffic and the guys behind you will close really quick," said Davenport, who next weekend will make his first attempt in the NASCAR Cup Series in the dirt race on the high banks of Bristol. "It feels really good to win," Davenport added. "We've had a lot of bad racing luck (this season). We've had fast cars and it just feels good. It builds confidence back up in the team and myself. "I'm pretty much going into the biggest weekend of my career racing next week, so I have to thank those guys and I'm looking forward to going to Bristol next week." Simpson had a solid run for the runner-up position and said he was able to close the gap on Davenport a bit, but not enough to mount serious bid without a caution. "You always feel like you have a shot," Simpson said, "but I knew once he got back to clean traffic he was just a little better car than we were." Bobby Pierce of Oakville, Illinois, drove from 13th to fourth and Logan Martin of West Plains wound up fifth. After winning on Friday, Thornton had to win a B-Main to get into Saturday's feature. He started 20th and finished 15th, the last driver on the lead lap. A total of 50 Late Models checked into the pits and there were 114 cars across all four divisions. Davenport the fast qualifying time, out of Group A, going 15.680 seconds to beat out Lucas Oil Speedway weekly regular Dalton Imhoff's 15.80. USRA B-Mod feature goes to Jackson: Seven-time Lucas Oil Speedway Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod champ Kris Jackson of Lebanon made a decisive pass with two laps remaining to claim the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win. Jackson got around Mitchell Franklin, who led most of the way, after a restart with three laps remaining after a three-wide battle for the lead with those two and JC Morton wound up in a caution flag. Jackson started ninth and sailed around the outside of Franklin and Morton for the lead on lap 22. The trio was running three wide into turn three the next time around with Jackson on the outside, Morton in the middle and Franklin inside. Morton and Jackson wound up spinning and Franklin emerged with the lead. Morton was unable to continue and Jackson, starting behind Franklin as the race went back to green, made an outside pass and held on from there. Jon Sheets finished second and Franklin settled for third with Ryan Gillmore fourth. Hendrix prevails in USRA Stock Cars: The O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature turned into a battle of attrition and David Hendrix was able to come away the winner. He held off Bryan White after White's failed bid for the lead on the final lap when he made contact with the leader in turn three. White went to the infield, cutting through the grass, and got back onto the dirt in time to cross the line behind Hendrix. The two exchanged bumps after the checkered flag. White was disqualified afterward, elevating Jeff Tennant to second and James Ellis into third. Hendrix, of Buckhorn, took home $750 for the win in what was a rough-and-tumble event. Nine of the 15 cars in the starting field were eliminated in three mishaps before two laps were completed. Clevenger charges to Show-Me Vintage Racers win: Damon Clevenger of Parkville took the lead with three laps to go and held off Chad Eichleberry to win the Show-Me Vintage Racers Series feature. Clevenger started 10 and worked his way into top five by lap five. He became the race's fifth and final leader when he went around Eichleberry on lap 12. Bill Behrens wound up third, Dan Schmidt was fourth and Jim Thorne finished fifth. The feature was dedicated to Mickey Fleehart, founder and president of the Show-Me Vintage Racers. Fleehart passed away on March 3 of this year. Fleehart's grandson drove Mickey's No. 7 car on a pace lap prior to the feature, taking a ceremonial green and checkered flag. "I love this club and this one goes in Mickey's honor. He was a great president and we all miss him," Clevenger said.

  DAVENPORT "PERFECT" IN SWEEP OF MLRA SPRING NATIONALS FINALE

  Wheatland, MO (April 1, 2023) - There would be no fooling Superman Jonathan Davenport on April Fools Day at the Lucas Oil Speedway, as the Blairsville, GA driver dominated the night, sweeping the finale of the 10th Annual MLRA Spring Nationals, Presented by Arizona Sport Shirts. After starting in tenth and having to work hard for a third place finish on Friday night, Davenport made sure to make the job easier in Saturday's $10,000 main event. Davenport jumped out of the gates and collected the MyRacePass "Fast Time Award" with a lap of 15.680 seconds, topping the field of 50 late models. Davenport didn't stop there, as he went on to collect the win in his respective heat race, placing him on the pole for the 40 lap main event. Davenport rolled to the green alongside defending MLRA series champion and fellow Longhorn Chassis driver Chad Simpson, but Davenport wasted no time in showing who was in control. By the time Davenport caught lap traffic on lap number six, he had established a lead of nearly two seconds over Simpson. Simpson would use that lapped traffic to his advantage early on, closing to under 1.5 seconds, but with a 4 to 5 car buffer established, Davenport again began to stretch out his advantage. For the second night in a row the feature event would go the distance caution free, providing for plenty of great side-by-side battles all over the track. Davenport lapped the field up to the thirteenth position, included putting Friday night winner Ricky Thornton Jr. a lap down in the closing laps. In the end, it was Davenport getting the win by 2.918 seconds over Simpson, while Garrett Alberson grabbed the Swift Springs "Move of the Night" and rounded out the podium in third. Bobby Pierce was the MD3 "Hard Charger of the Race" after advancing 9 positions to finish in fourth, while two time career MLRA winner Logan Martin rounded out the top five. Davenport debuted a new Longhorn for the weekend and appreciated the hard work put in by his team to get him into Cedar Creek Beef Jerky Victory Lane. "This is a new piece. We have been working on it, we've got two practice sessions on it and then we got to race last night. It likes a little bit different stuff, but my guy's put their heads together and really hit on something tonight." "I've got to thank my crew on this one here, Vinny, Cory, and Michael. This is a new car that they built in the past week and everybody at Longhorn from the fab guys to the assembly guys to parts guys and Steve and everybody up front, I really appreciate it." The biggest challenge on the night for team # 49 came in the form of lapped traffic, but Davenport navigated it to perfection to complete the sweep. "You can't ever take your foot off the gas with these guys," he noted. "If you start loafing through lapped traffic the guys behind you will close really quick. It feels really good to get a win. We've had a lot of bad racing luck, we've had fast cars and it just feels good and builds the confidence back up in the team and myself pretty much going into the biggest weekend of my career racing next week." Simpson was all smiles following his first podium finish of the year, also working through the challenges of a new car coming into the weekend. The three-time series champion commented on his battle with Davenport in saying, "You always feel like you got a little bit of a shot when you can gain on him a little bit, but I knew once he got back out to clean traffic he was just a little bit better car than we were." "That was super fun," exclaimed Alberson of his third-place run. "I'm glad they reworked the track a little bit, we got to move all over the place. It was changing the whole time and we got to use the gas pedal a little, so that was pretty fun. This Black Diamond is only two weekends old, so this is pretty sweet," he concluded. The Lucas Oil MLRA returns to action next weekend for a double header at the Tri-City Speedway in Pontoon Beach, IL. The host for the MLRA's annual season championship weekend picks up a second weekend on the schedule in 2023, with Friday nights opener paying $5,000 to win, while Saturday nights finale will send the winner home with a $7,000 pay day.

  Thornton Jr. scores runaway victory on Night One of Lucas Oil MLRA Spring Nationals

  WHEATLAND, MO. (March 31, 2023) - Once Ricky Thornton Jr. got to the lead, there was no stopping the Martinsville, Indiana, driver on Night 1 of the 10th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Spring Nationals Presented by Arizona Sport Shirt at Lucas Oil Speedway. Thornton earned $5,000 for his second career MLRA victory, dominating a field of 48 Late Models that checked into the pits for the opener of the weekend. The Spring Nationals conclude on Saturday night with $10,000 going to the Late Model winner. "We were really good there," Thornton said after the victory, which attracted a large and deep field as national-touring series events scheduled for this weekend were rained out. "We practiced really good yesterday and I was super comfortable. It was a good night." Support divisions running on Friday night saw Tom Charles capture the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature and Nic Bidinger win the Show-Me Vintage Racers main event. Thornton started third and remained there through the early going before charging around Earl Pearson Jr. on lap nine and then taking over the lead, for good, on lap 14. Thornton, a one-time Modified ace who was racing his Late Model for the first time in 27 days due to numerous weather cancellations, finished 4.9 seconds in front of runner-up Bobby Pierce in the caution-free 40-lapper. Jonathan Davenport made a late charge to third with Tanner English finishing fourth. Late Model rookie and local favorite Dillon McCowan, a two-time Lucas Oil Speedway USRA Modified track champion, led the first 13 laps. The 19-year-old from nearby Urbana, who plans to run for MLRA Rookie of the Year honors, faded late to wind up fifth. Thornton, 32, said he was waiting for the track to slow down a bit in the early going as he stayed patient behind McCowan and Pearson. "Then we really kind of took off," Thornton said. "It shows how hard our guys work. It's pretty cool to be able to run today. I think we all thought it was gonna rain out. I'm just glad we got to make some laps and we'll see how we do tomorrow." Race day on Friday was under the threat of rain that didn't materialize. But high winds, with gusts in excess of 50 miles per hour at times, made it a challenging day for the track crew. McCowan started outside of row one and got the jump on pole-starter Pearson, as the race went green. McCowan proceeded to lead the first 13 laps, at one time with a 1.7-second command over Thornton as the eventual winner passed Pearson on lap nine. By lap 12, Thornton had moved to the back of McCowan's car and was pressuring for the lead. The national-touring-series vet got it coming out of turn four to complete lap 14, moving past McCowan on the inside. "He was really good. He was there in his heat race, too," Thornton said of McCowan. "He's got a lot of laps here. He got out front I think he just didn't know exactly where he needed to be on the track. The middle was really good early and then I found out the top in one and two was really good and I could kind of do whatever I wanted in three and four. "I was able to get by Earl. That took me five or six laps. I didn't want to do something dumb and take myself out of it. Just overall, really good speed and I didn't tear anything up tonight. The tires still look good. Hopefully, I can do the same thing tomorrow. Pierce, who started sixth, took over second on lap 18 and set his sights on Thornton as the race remained caution-free with the leaders darting through lapped traffic. Pierce said could have used a caution at that point, but it wouldn't have mattered much near the end. "I kind of ended up using my tires a bit there and if I didn't get one midway through the race, I was glad I didn't see one with a couple of laps to go," Pierce said. "I would have been a sitting duck. "Congrats to Ricky on the win. His car was really good. When he wanted to flip on the switch, he flipped it on. Just a pretty good night for us. We have to get a little better in the black. It's what this is about, just learning this thing and trying to see what makes it go the best." Pierce led qualifying with a lap of 16.337, pacing Group B and earning him pole for the third heat race. McCowan outdueled him to win the heat, regaining the leader midway through when they traded slide jobs, and get a front-row starting spot for the main event. It was an impressive outing for McCowan, who held a podium position until lap 39 when Davenport moved around him into third. He surrendered another spot on the final lap as Tanner English wound up in fourth. Davenport said his run was solid and said he looks forward to Saturday. "We just got behind in qualifying, the track just got faster as it went along in qualifying, then we just ran behind the 8 car (McCowan) and Bobby (Pierce) in the heat and didn't have anywhere to go," Davenport said. "We had a pretty good race track right there, it got a little top dominant there towards the middle but there at the end it started slowing down and I was able to pass a couple of cars on the bottom." USRA Modified feature goes to Bidinger: Nic Bidinger and Matt Johnson started on the front row and dueled throughout the 20-lap Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature, with Bidinger coming out on top by two car lengths at the finish. Bidinger, of Perry, Kansas, prevailed in his first outing of the 2023 season after earning 10 wins overall last season. Johnson pulled alongside Bidinger coming out of turn four to complete the fifth lap, but was unable to make the pass. Bidinger kept him at bay the rest of the way, with Johnson's last-lap charger coming up just short. "Sometimes starting up front is good and sometimes it's bad," Bidinger said. "We searched around there early. I saw Matt was coming on the bottom, so I changed up my line a little and covered that up and really took off and it went good. It was the first night out this year, so we'll take it." Dustin Sorensen finished third with Robbie Reed fourth and Mickey Burrell fifth. Charles wins SMVR feature: Tom Charles of Wolcott, Kansas, led all 15 laps of the Show-Me Vintage Racing Series feature, holding off Jim Thorne over the final three circuits after a late caution set up a shootout. Charles' lead was 1.04 seconds when the caution flew to give Thorne and third-running Brandon Jordan a shot at overtaking him after a single-file restart. Jordan moved into second on lap 13, but was unable to overtake Charles as the winner's margin at the checkers was just under one second. Jordan wound up in second with Dan Schmidt third and Jim Thome fourth. "I made some changes on the car this winter, I put some new springs on it and moved some stuff around," said Charles, who was driving a 1963 Ford Fairlane. "I love watching the Late Models, but when I was a kid this was a Late Model."

  THORNTON JR. BLOWS AWAY THE COMPETITION IN MLRA SPRING NATIONALS OPENER

  Wheatland, MO (March 31, 2023) - On a day in which afternoon sustained winds exceeded 40 mph and the thought of racing was in question, Rickly Thornton Jr. made sure he left no doubt on Friday night, and dominated the opener of the 10th Annual MLRA Spring Nationals Presented by Arizona Sport Shirts at the Lucas Oil Speedway. Mother nature had not been kind to dirt late model racing during the month of March, leading a star studded field of 48 drivers to the "Diamond of Dirt Track" in search of an opportunity to race. Bobby Pierce started off the night, scoring the MyRacePass Fast Time Award with a lap of 16.337 seconds. Earl Pearson Jr. scored the victory in heat race number one, which put him on the pole position for the 40 lap opener alongside 19 year old Sunoco Rookie of the Year candidate Dillon McCowan. At the onset it was McCowan taking the top spot over Pearson in just his first ever MLRA start. McCowan would stretch the advantage to just over 1.7 seconds in the early laps, all the while Thornton was watching his every move after slipping by Pearson for second. Thornton Jr. dropped to the low line on lap thirteen and quickly closed the gap between himself and McCowan, moving to the point on lap 14. Thornton had to dice his way through lapped traffic over the remaining 26 laps, with Bobby Pierce eventually moving into the runner up position. Pierce was never able to close the gap, as Thornton went on to score the $5,000 win, the second in his career under the Lucas Oil MLRA banner. Pierce who won the MLRA opener one year ago settled for second, while 10th starting Johnathan Davenport rounded out the podium in third. Tanner English would finish in fourth while early race leader McCowan finished 5th and picked up his first Sunoco Race Fuel Rookie of the Year Award on the season. Defending series champion Chad Simpson collected the MD3 "Hard Charger of the Race", advancing 12 spots to finish 9th. In Cedar Creek Victory Lane Thornton noted, "We practiced really good yesterday and I was super comfortable. I was just waiting for the track to slow down a little bit and it really kind of took off. It's just pretty cool to be able to run today, I think everybody thought it was going to rain out, I'm just glad we finally got to make some laps and we'll see how we do tomorrow." "We kind of took off and he was really good," Thornton said of the early charge to the front by McCowan. "I knew he would be, he was really good in his heat race too. He's got a lot of laps here and he got out in front and I just think he didn't really know exactly where he needed to be on the track. The middle was really good early and then I found out the top in turns one and two was really good, and then I could kind of do what I wanted to in three and four. I was able to get by Earl, that took me probably five or six laps and then I just really didn't want to over push it and do something dumb and take myself out of it. Over-all we had really good speed tonight, we didn't tear anything up, and the tires look good so hopefully we can do this good tomorrow."

Photo Credit: Greg Stanek/ GS Stanek Photography Pierce did everything he could to put up a fight with Thornton for the win after starting in sixth. "A caution would have been nice when we were gaining on him there, but I kind of ended up using my tires a bit there," said Pierce. "If I didn't get one there mid-way in the race I was glad I didn't see one with a couple of laps to go because I would have been a sitting duck. Congrats to Ricky on the win, his car was really good. When he wanted to flip on the switch, he flipped it on. It was a pretty good night for us, we gotta get a little better in the black, but that's what this is all about, just trying to learn this thing and trying to see what makes it go best." Davenport put on a great lap after lap battle with Pearson for the second half of the race on the way to his 3rd place finish. "We just got behind in qualifying, the track just got faster as it went along in qualifying, then we just ran behind the 8 car (McCowan) and Bobby (Pierce) in the heat and didn't have anywhere to go." "We had a pretty good race track right there, it got a little top dominant there towards the middle but there at the end it started slowing down and I was able to pass a couple of cars on the bottom," concluded Davenport. The MLRA Spring Nationals doubles down on Saturday night with a $10,000 A-Main on tap to conclude the opening weekend for the Lucas Oil MLRA. Hot laps are slated for 6:30 pm with racing at 7:05 pm.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Payton Looney eager for right mix of racing, family time in 2023

  WHEATLAND, MO. (March 29, 2023) - Payton Looney is looking at the 2023 season as one of a happy medium, where he can race enough to quench his competitive thirst while being at home enough for his growing family. "I would like to race about 15 times," Looney said on Tuesday, while previewing this weekend's 10th annual MLRA Spring Nationals Presented by Arizona Sport Shirts at Lucas Oil Speedway. The season-opening MLRA doubleheader, with a $5,000-to-win feature on Friday and with a $10,000 prize on Saturday, is a chance for the 28-year-old from Republic to compete near home and on his favorite race track with his family and friends cheering. Looney won Night Two of the Spring Nationals a year ago, but it was one of just seven outings in his Atnip Enterprises Capital Race Car in 2022. He also raced only seven times in 2021 after a grinding 25-race campaign in 2020 in which he won the Show-Me 100, but fell just short of the MLRA Series championship. Those countless hours on the road, often taking him away from wife Emilee and two young children, is not something he wishes a return to. Son Baylor just finished his youth basketball season and is starting baseball and daughter Elliott is getting involved in gymnastics. "I definitely miss racing, but I'm just not willing to travel up and down the road like I was before," Looney said. "My oldest boy is starting sports and my daughter is starting gymnastics. I don't want to miss any of that. If I can still race 10-15 times a year and still be a present father at home, that's the goal." Looney said he's looking forward to balancing his competitive fire with the fun racing has to offer through good-paying events close to home, whether at Wheatland, West Plains or Lake Ozark. The schedule, expense and stress of chasing points, as he did in 2020, is something he doesn't miss. "It's a lot more fun. It's a lot less stress, I know that," Looney said. "Really, just racing in general, now we just do it now for fun. We still love to do it. It's not like it used to be when we had to do it every weekend and all that type of stuff. "We've had a lot of success at Lucas over the years. We won the Spring Nationals there last year. Any time I can race, it's a good weekend." Looney said that it doesn't have to be in the top-of-the-line Late Model to put a smile on his face. He filled the seat in the Moon Brothers Limited Late Model last weekend at Lucas Oil Speedway as regular driver JC Morton was out of town competing in his USRA B-Mod. As he was advancing through the field, Looney's car suffered a broken axle to end his night. Still, he called it a fun getaway to get to the track and only need 90 minutes to do so. This weekend, his goal would be to win and have someone buy his race car. Looney has a new Capital on order, but needs to sell this one before completing the deal and taking aim at bigger events, such as the Show-Me 100 over Memorial Day weekend. Looney knows he forever will be linked to the Show-Me, joining Terry Phillips as the only Missouri driver to win the crown-jewel event just three years ago. "The Show-Me is one of my favorite weekends of the year. I love that event and have since I was a kid," Looney said. "Being a past champion makes it even better. Really, I just love racing. Any chance I get to be there and race is fun." A practice session is scheduled from 6-9 p.m. Thursday night, allowing drivers an opportunity to get dialed in. Practice is open to MLRA drivers, plus those in divisions scheduled to race either Friday or Saturday. Pit passes will be $25 with only the pit-side concessions open, with a limited menu. Full programs are scheduled for both race nights. Joining the Late Models on Friday will be the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds running for $1,000 to win and the Show-Me Vintage Racers also on hand. On Saturday night, O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars will be in action gunning for a top prize of $750 and the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods will be in action running for a top prize of $750. SMVR also will return on Saturday with the Mickey Fleehart tribute race, paying tribute to the long-time leader of the series who passed away over the offseason. Pit gates are scheduled to open at 4 p.m. and spectator gates at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. Friday ticket information: Adults (16 and up) - $20 Seniors (62 and up)/Military - $17 Youth (6-15) - $10 Kids (5 and under) - FREE Family Pass - $50 Pit Pass - $40 Saturday ticket information: Adults (16 and up) - $25 Seniors (62 and up)/Military - $22 Youth (6-15) - $10 Kids (5 and under) - FREE Family Pass - $60 Pit Pass - $40 Enduro Easter Bowl 150 entries remain open: Drivers planning to enter the Enduro Easter Bowl 150 on April 8th also can find the entry form online and return it. Pre-entry is $100 if received by March 30 and $150 after that.

  ANTHONY MACRI CLAIMS VICTORY IN ACME COMPANIES MARCH SPRINT MADNESS

  YORK HAVEN Pa.: Anthony Macri wasn't feeling very good on the new Hoosier Tire after the World of Outlaws rolled out of time a week ago. To get more comfortable, Macri and his team decided to come to a Wednesday Test-and-Tune session to log more laps and try different setups. It's still uncertain whether or not Macri is completely acclimated to the new tire, but the commitment paid off Sunday. On a sun-splashed day and difficult racing surface, the Dillsburg, Pa., ace survived on the new right rear and came away with a win in a 30-Lap main event that was shortened to 27 circuits. "There at the end, I was worried more about running out of fuel than tires," Macri said. "They told me I had a good bit of tire left during that open red, but we only dumped five gallons of fuel in, so I wasn't sure. "I was kind of glad they shortened it to green-white-checker, but at the same time, I'm not too happy. You like to win a race fair and square, and cutting laps, I kind of feel like it's not fair and square." Danny Dietrich drew the pole for the main event and outdueled Kyle Moody on Lap 1 to take the lead. Before the race could settle in, the caution was thrown for Justin Peck, who got sideways in the first corner. Peck didn't stop, but he was forced to tag the rear for being the reason the caution was thrown. The restart saw Dietrich drive away from the field. He opened up a 2.201-second lead by Lap 5, only to have Macri, who started third, trim it down to 1.231 seconds by the time the eighth circuit was complete. Macri pounded the top of the speedway and closed the gap to .626 seconds by Lap 12. Four laps later, the advantage was down to .336 seconds as the leaders started to encounter backmarkers. The winning pass came on Lap 18. Macri, who moved down to the bottom a couple of laps earlier, nailed the bottom in Turns 1 and 2 and slipped past Dietrich coming off the second corner. "I had to move around the racetrack, because once he found the rubber, he wasn't going to move out of it," Macri said. "I tried pounding the top to try and get to him. A couple of laps before I got Danny, I decided to fall in line. "I'm not sure if he got in dirty air, but he slid up the track, and I took advantage of it. After that, it was survival of the fittest." Dylan Norris rolled to a stop on the backstretch with a flat right rear on Lap 20. One lap later, Troy Wagaman Jr. tipped over on the exit of Turn 2 after the field bunched up in front of him. During the red flag, Dietrich requested to go to the pit area to change his tire, but speedway rules prohibit a driver from moving his car during a stoppage. The rest of the event was marred by flat tires. After Devon Borden had a right rear expire heading to the line to complete Lap 25, the decision was made to shorten the event. Macri managed to hold on the rest of the way, beating Moody, Freddie Rahmer, Jeff Halligan, and Kyle Reinhardt to the stripe. "These guys work really hard, and I've been working them a little harder than in years past tearing stuff up," Macri said. "They just keep working hard, and I got Joe [Mooney] his first win as a crew chief. Hopefully, this is No. 1 of many." In the 358 Sprint Car feature, Derek Locke started on the pole and drove away from the field to take the win in the 20-Lap feature. There were four cautions over the race distance, but nobody could stop Locke's onslaught. He took the win over seventh-place starter Steve Owings and Kyle Spence. Chris Frank and Brett Strickler completed the top five.

  DEFENDING CHAMP-- CHAD SIMPSON LEADS MLRA INTO "SPRING NATIONALS"  

  Wheatland, Missouri (March 27, 2023) - The 10th Annual MLRA "Spring Nationals", Presented by Arizona Sport Shirts, will take centerstage this weekend March 31st - April 1st, when the Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) kicks off their 35th Anniversary season of racing action. The "Diamond of Dirt Tracks" the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri will play host to the opening round for the first time since the 2017 season, which saw Will Vaught and Rodney Sanders taking home top honors. Friday nights weekend lid-lifter will feature a $5,000 to win main event, followed by a $10,000 A-Feature showdown to wrap up the weekend on Saturday night. A practice session on Thursday night will proceed the weekends racing action, running on track from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, allowing drivers an opportunity to get dialed in for the always important season opening weekend. Chad Simpson will roll into Wheatland as the series' defending Champion after scoring his third career title in 2022. His prior MLRA championships had come in 2014 & 2018, and now he will have an opportunity to become the first driver to go back-to-back since John Anderson last accomplished that feat during the 2011 and 2012 seasons. The driver from Mount Vernon, Iowa will be hitting the track Thursday night for the first time since last fall's MLRA Championship weekend at the Tri-City Speedway, and he will be doing so in a new Longhorn by Wells Chassis with a Pro Power Racing engine under the hood.  "We haven't turned any laps on the new car at all, so we're excited to hopefully get in Thursday night so we can get a little practice and a few laps on the car and get comfortable before things really get started on Friday," commented Simpson. "I'm hopeful that it will fit us pretty good and we can make just a few little tweaks here and there to fit my liking." "We bought this new car through Wells, and Eric (Wells) has been really good with me and walked us through everything and all of their basics and stuff. I've seen cars come out of their shop and I've seen how they have ran, they typically seem to be pretty good right out of the box. It appears they've got a really good package with (Brandon) Overton and what his program is, so I'm hoping for a quick transition, but you just never know with a new car and a new change." When it comes to Wheatland and the Lucas Oil MLRA, Simpson knows first-hand how important it can be to have a good grasp on the 3/8 mile oval. With a total of eight nights of action planned this season at the Diamond he notes that it's definitely a place that can always bring a driver their share of highs and lows. "We've had years there that we've been really good and we've had a lot of years that we have struggled there, but just having some history down there like we do is a help when it comes to knowing where to start and what to do." Simpson's history includes being a three time winner at Lucas Oil Speedway, the most recent of which came in the 2018 season finale where he clinched his second MLRA title. In 2022 he notched three top five finishes, including a fifth place run in the 30th Annual Show-Me 100. With a shot at a fourth MLRA championship no more than a blip on the radar at this point, Simpson acknowledges how important the first three weekends of action will be for him and his MLRA counterparts who may be looking to have a shot at the $20,000 championship come October. "With all of these races back-to-back-to-back it can definitely set the stage for the rest of your year. You have to come out and keep an open mind, and you can't get frustrated in those first three weeks and hopefully just have some good runs and some good finishes that can keep you right up there towards the top."

  Weger And Mahaffey Victorious At Turn Pike Challenge With The Dirt2Media NOW600 Series

  Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (March 25, 2023) Welcoming a field of 82 entries between A-Class (63) and Restricted (19), the Dirt2Media National Open Wheel 600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division graced the clay of Port City Raceway on Saturday night with Braxton Weger and Shawn Mahaffey collecting Turn Pike Challenge Victories. Putting an exclamation point on his evening, Tulsa's Shawn Mahaffey landed his second career NOW600 A-Class victory Saturday night; along with his second win of the night, with a different sanctioning body, and different style of car. Kicking things off with a late race pass on Kale Drake to win the POWRi Outlaw Non-Wing A-Feature, the No. 11k, left nothing to chance with the wings on. Taking off from the top of the front row, Mahaffey moved quickly to familiar territory around the hub of the Port City Raceway and did his best to stay there when traffic came into play. Caution with five to go, Mahaffey would have Daison Pursley chasing. Working anywhere he could find traction, Pursley, who had just topped the POWRi National Midget A-Feature, made his run on the final lap, but would come up shy by 0.265-seconds. J.J. Loss crossed third, followed by Kale Drake, and Matt Carr to complete the top five. The first time that Braxton Weger has parked in Victory Lane in NOW600 competition, the No. 31bw led the opening two lap before Bradley Cox muscled his way by following a Lap 3 restart. Looking like the race was in hand for the Arizona shoe, one wrong move in traffic on Lap 16 spelled disaster for the No. 45. Sidelined with steering damage while working traffic, the lead was put back in the hand of Weger. Pursued by Carson Bolden on the restart, the No. B2 made every effort, but could not deny Braxton the win. Both improving by eight positions, Garyn Howard made it to third with Landen Adams in fourth. Making every attempt to hustle the high-side, Stone Smith held on to fifth. The next outing for the Dirt2Media National Open Wheel 600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division will be at Dallas County Speedway in Urbana, Mo. on Friday, April 14, and Saturday April 15. Fans not able to attend can see every lap live on https://www.now600.tv and http://www.dirt2media.tv. The 2023 season marks the 11th year of competition for the National Open Wheel 600 Series. Anchored by the Dirt2Media NOW600 National Championship, the NOW600 Series comprises several regional tours and sanctioned racetracks. The NOW600 National Championship features three divisions of 600cc micro sprints at each event: Stock Non-Wing, Winged A-Class, and Restricted 'A' Class.

  Wells captures Late Model headliner as Lucas Oil Speedway season begins with Stacye, Reed, Dimmitt also earning wins

  WHEATLAND, MO. (March 25, 2023) - An old pro found victory lane in the featured Hermitage Lumber Late Model division on opening night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Justin Wells of Aurora, who won the first Late Model race held at Diamond of Dirt Tracks when it opened in 2006, edged Tucker Cox for the $1,000 feature win. Other feature winners in the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series Spring Opener Presented by KOZL were: Cayden Stacye (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Robbie Reed (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds) and Waylon Dimmitt (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). A total of 85 cars checked into the pits to usher in the 2023 season, including 35 USRA B-Mods. Wells, with approximately 400 career feature wins, took the lead from Jace Parmley on lap 16 and led the final nine circuits of the feature. It was his first win of 2023 after capturing two features at Lucas Oil Speedway in limited visits to the track a year ago. Wells said it was win No. 95 for the No. 98 car, a 2006 TNT that he calls old dependable. "That's No. 95," Wells said. "We gave it a brush-up over the winter and we're really proud of it. TNT does a heck of a job on these cars. It's just a special race car. "You never know when you're gonna win your last one; these are so hard to win," Wells said of Late Model triumphs. "We really appreciate this. You guys could have easily gave up tonight here (due to recent rains) but you put in a hell of a lot of effort and I'll say you have a damn good track." Parmley, of Neosho, started on the front row and set a blistering early pace, leading by 2.5 seconds over Dean Willie after seven laps. The 46-year-old Wells, who started sixth, was working his way through the field and closed to the back bumper of Parmley by lap 12. Just four laps laps later, Wells drove past the leader coming off turn four. From there, Wells needed only three laps to stretch his lead to 1.5 seconds and he was 1.7 in front when a caution for Josh Dugan's lap-22 spin set up a dramatic finish. Wells executed a flawless restart with Cox slipped past Parmley for second behind him. The fifth-starting Cox made a strong run, but couldn't get to Wells with the final margin .525 seconds or about three car lengths. "It's kind of a young man's sports any more and you've got a good group of kids coming up and I really like them and respect them," Wells said. "They have a bright future." Parmley settled for third with Bryon Allison fourth and Joe Walkenhorst taking fifth. Stacye earns thrilling USRA B-Mod win: Cayden Stacye of Fair Grove pulled off a last-lap pass of Bobby Williams of nearby Hermitage to pick up the feature victory in the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds. Stacye drove past Williams on the inside of the final turn of the final lap and held on by a car length for his first Lucas Oil Speedway feature win. "I wasn't sure if we were going to be able to get it done, with (Williams) on the pole there those last two laps," Stacye said. "I just knew that I had to get a good jump and we just kind of went from there. I just drove it hard and ended up on top." From the outside of row one, JC Newell beat pole-starter Stacye to the lead as the race went green. Newell opened a 1.2-second lead after four laps before a caution for debris on the track slowed the action. Two more cautions over the next four laps kept Newell's lead slim, but Williams advanced from sixth to second after making a pass on a lap-nine restart. Rolling with a 1.5-second lead, Newell's hopes dissolved coming off turn four to conclude lap 12. He slowed with mechanical issues and pulled to the infield as Williams inherited the lead. From there, it was a two-car battle as Williams fought to hold off Stacye and - just as Stacye was about to go in front - a caution flew on lap 18. Stacyce dove to the inside of turn one on the final lap, but couldn't complete the pass. However, a similar move going into turn four did stick and Stacye beat Williams by .258 seconds. Austin Charles finished third with Dylan Cantwell fourth and Jake Richards coming home in fifth. Reed rolls to USRA Modified triumph: It was all Robbie Reed in the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified main event. The driver from Mexico, Missouri, outdistanced Ryan Middaugh by a comfortable margin, leading all 20 laps. "I just looked for that smooth part of the track," Reed said. "I looked for him under me, going through the rough, but I was hoping it would prevail, staying in the smooth. "It was fun. I was pleasantly surprised as well as the track was with all the rain we've had." Reed and Middaugh separated themselves from the field in the early going with Reed maintaining the lead in the battle of front-row starters. Reed, the 2020 track champion, opened a 1.9-second lead by the midpoint on lap 10. His cushion continued to build and was 2.2 seconds when a lap-14 caution came out. That gave Middaugh and third-place Matt Johnson a chance to run down the leader. But Reed had a solid restart and, while Middaugh and Johnson mixed it up behind him, was able to re-establish a sizable lead over the final six laps. Reed prevailed by 3.07 seconds over Middaugh with Johnson third, Jason Pursley fourth and Tyler Hibner fifth. Dimmitt takes first Lucas win in USRA Stock Cars: Waylon Dimmitt of Camdenton led all 20 laps of a caution-filled O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature to celebrate his first Lucas Oil Speedway feature win. "We've fought this place for a long time and I think we're finally getting something figure out," Dimmitt said. Dimmitt started third but had the lead by the end of lap one, inching past post-starting William Garner at the start-finish line. From there, Dean Wille began to give chase to Dimmitt, moving into second by lap two of a race plagued by four cautions in the first half of the 20-lapper. The biggest mover in the first part of the race was eighth-starting Rodney Schweizer who was running third by lap eight. Willie swung to the high side by lap 12 and closed to the bumper of Dimmitt, then started taking the low groove into the corners. Dimmitt was able to hold onto the lead as the race's fifth caution flew on lap 15 as Schweizer went for a spin. Dimmitt held on the rest of the way to capture the feature win, finishing 1.3 seconds in front of Wille. "I knew just as long as I hit my lines, we had it," Dimmitt said. Mason Beck finished third after starting ninth, Chris Tonoli was fourth and Robert White grabbed fifth.

  DUSTIN HODGES TO MAKE BID FOR LUCAS OIL MLRA ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

  Wheatland, Missouri (March 23, 2023) - For Dustin Hodges, the 2023 race season is about to take on an all-new look when the Lucas Oil MLRA hits the track next weekend for the 10th Annual "Spring Nationals" at the Lucas Oil Speedway. While the track for the opener may look familiar to the Centralia, Missouri driver the car will not, as he makes the jump from being a highly successful USRA Modified ace, to a contender for MLRA's Sunoco Race Fuel Rookie of the Year. At 34 years of age, Hodges is coming off one of his most successful seasons to date. A season of racing that netted his team nine A-Feature victories, a track championship at the Callaway Raceway in Fulton, MO, a runner-up points finish at the Lucas Oil Speedway, and a third-place finish in USRA Modified National Points. It's that success that made for a difficult off-season decision— continue being a dominate force in the modified ranks or seize an opportunity and live out a dream of racing Super Late Models. "One of the biggest hurdles has been deciding. Do we just try to get our feet wet this season and just try to learn the car and bounce to a few of the tracks to build a little bit of a notebook? Do we drive both cars and play with the late model some, but still focus mainly on the modified? But then knowing that we have all of the fresh equipment this year, and will we even be able to do it again next year. This deals just kind of came together to where I felt like I needed to make the leap and go for it." Hodges will begin his MLRA campaign behind the wheel of a new 2021 Rocket XR-1 Chassis with Cornett horsepower. "We've just kind of been holding onto it," noted Hodges of the chassis which he recently tested on the dirt for the first time at the Lucas Oil Speedway. "A gentleman that races around here locally Rick Kimberling, bought the car and pretty much told me that he was getting up there in age a little to be able to do it anymore and seen somebody with the drive to make it happen. So he just approached me and asked if I would be willing to take it and try to make something happen with it. I don't think we will ever have a better opportunity than we do now with the equipment that we have, so I think it's time," commented Hodges. This will not be Hodge's first go-around in the late model ranks, quite the opposite actually for the two-time ULMA Late Model Series Champion. "Zack VanderBeek is a really good friend of mine, so getting rid of the VanderBuilt (Chassis) stuff and back into the late model was a tough decision. We won the ULMA deal in 2016 & decided to chase it again in 2018 and won it again. That's also when the VanderBuilt stuff was getting big, so we jumped back into a modified." "Getting into one of his cars just made sense at the time, and of course now this opportunity presented itself and my ultimate dream has always been to get to drive a 900-horsepower super late model, so I just couldn't pass this up. I feel like if I look back in ten years and tell myself I had the chance, I wonder what would have become of it. I want to know what that outcome will be." With what he describes as a "get up on the wheel" driving style, Hodges is eager to return to the late model ranks, but acknowledges that a re-learning curve awaits. "One of the biggest challenges I'm feeling is obviously the power difference of having 200 more horse on top of what I used to have. And not only the power difference, but getting used to driving off the right front, that's something that's going to present a learning curve again." When the MLRA season finale rolls around in October the driver of the #22H is hopeful his name will still be very much in the conversation for Sunoco Rookie honors, and hopefully more. "I have to be competitive. If at the end of the season I'm not competing to ultimately running up front with everybody then I'm not going to be satisfied. There is just too much time and effort and money that goes into this deal." "I didn't grow up around racing, I didn't have family in this sport, so I have kind of had to just learn things one step at a time and ultimately, I've never had the funds myself to be able to do it. I'm blessed to have the career I have and to make the money I do to take care of my family. But without the help of my sponsors and especially Rick Kimberling doing this deal and providing the car and one of the motors, there is no way I would be doing this deal this year. I'm just extremely grateful to the people that allow me to represent them in racing and just blessed to be given this opportunity."

  BRODY ROA TAKES SECOND AT SOKOLA SHOOTOUT AND INCREASES HIS USAC/CRA POINT LEAD

  (Cypress, CA, March 22, 2023) Veteran Southern California sprint car racer Brody Roa steered the Inland Rigging #17R to a second-place finish in last Saturday night's 20th annual "Sokola Shootout" at Perris Auto Speedway. The result allowed him to increase his lead to 22 points in the series standings and gives him two wins and a second-place finish in the first three races of the 2023 season. 336023080_661915405694220_9217967785054651004_n.jpg Up on two wheels, this was the pass that put Brody Roa temporarily in the lead on Saturday. Anthony Hernandez photo. Twenty-five top-notch cars showed up for the race on the West Coast's premiere dirt track. Driving a DRC Chassis for the third time, Roa qualified fourth fastest with a lap of 16.449. That put the Garden Grove, California racer in a good position for the remainder of the night as all he had to do was place in the top four of his heat race to be assured of starting in the first three rows of the main event. The skilled driver did just that when he started fifth and placed third in the first 10-lapper of the night. That finish by Roa secured a spot on the inside of the second row for the 30-lapper. Roa quickly advanced his way to second and began to chase leader Justin Grant, the 2022 USAC National Sprint Car champion, who started on the outside of the front row. After chasing the pace setter for 16 laps, Roa flew into the lead on the 17th circuit. The 2019 USAC Southwest Sprint Car Series champion maintained the top spot until lap 21 when he lost the lead on a restart. He continued to chase Grant till the end but had to settle for a second-place finish. "I knew we had a chance," Roa responded when asked if he thought he could beat Grant after starting behind him. "Obviously I knew he wasn't going to be easy to beat. This new car (DRC) has brought a lot of confidence back into us. It does not take a whole lot of changes to make it fast throughout the night. Just little bits and it keeps the car on the ground making grip, but still turning. That is a pretty odd feeling for me but it is a really comfortable car. We probably could have gotten a little more aggressive with it, but it is still a bit of a learning curve. It was the first time at Perris with it. We did not want to get ourselves too far out of the box. If we were a little bit better, we probably could have had a slider fest as we did three or four years ago" Roa's second-place finish marked the first time he had not won in the three USAC/CRA races this year. After the race, his finishing average for the year is an outstanding 1.33. "It was a pretty smooth night," Roa said. "We had one little leak in the heat race. We got that cleaned up. Other than that, no issues, concerns, or worries." While Roa has two USAC/CRA wins in 2023, there is a bigger winner. That is the rain. Three weeks ago, the two-night show at the Central Arizona Speedway was canceled due to wet conditions. This week's races at Kings Speedway and the Tulare Thunderbowl also fell victim to the weather. That leaves this season's score at Mother Nature 4, USAC/CRA 3. "I am a little bummed that we are rained out again," Roa mused. "I was especially looking forward to going to Hanford. We haven't been there in like four years when the non-wing cars (USAC/CRA) have been there. 2018 maybe. It has been a long time. I have always liked Hanford. It is a fun, fast racetrack." "I might go down and keep cleaning out the old shop. Moving and storing stuff into my garage. It is not an easy task with all the stuff we have collected over the last 12 years. There is a lot of work to be done and there is a ton of stuff still down there. A lot of stuff we held onto just in case we needed it and a lot of it is for sale. My dad has been taking and posting a lot of pictures during his lunch break or after work. The old shop is around the corner from his office." Weather permitting, and so far the forecast looks good, the Inland Rigging Racing Team will return to action at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway on April 1st. It will be the first of three races for USAC/CRA at the track that is located just 20 minutes away from Laughlin, Nevada. On October 8th of last year, Roa made his lone appearance at the track and turned it into a memorable night. Starting 11th in the 30-lap main, he sliced and diced his way through the field until taking the lead and subsequently winning the race by over a half straightaway. Despite not running the full series schedule last year, it was his third victory. In addition to Roa being in action at Mohave Valley, teammate Tom Dunkel will make his first-ever start in USAC/CRA. It will not be the Murrieta, California racer's first USAC start as he placed 13th in the USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series at last November's Turkey Night Grand Prix in Ventura. Two weeks ago he was running ninth with three laps to go in the So Cal Non-Wing Open Comp. show at the Imperial Valley Raceway. Unfortunately, his steering gear let go knocking him out of the race with a 16th-place finish. As always, Roa would be more than happy to jump in a race car on his weekends off from the #17R. His entire schedule is printed below. If anybody wishes to contact him about open dates, they can do so at 714-932-7994 or mailto:brodyroa91@gmail.com The team wants to thank the following sponsors for making the 2023 season possible.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Former Late Model track champ Cole Henson eager for return

  WHEATLAND, MO. (March 21, 2023) - Cole Henson''s 2022 Lucas Oil Speedway season - not to mention his chances for a third straight Hermitage Lumber Late Model track championship - went up in smoke moments before the big 4th of July fireworks display. That was during the Thursday Night Thunder feature last June 30 when Henson, battling for the lead with Larry Ferris and Justin Wells, felt his motor pop coming off turn two. A plume of smoke trailed from the exhaust. Not an inexpensive fix and with no spare power plant, the misfortune ended Henson's season. Now, a new season has brought new optimism - not to mention a new motor. "I'm pumped to get back in the seat. It's been too long. I'm ready to get back after it," Henson said. The Russellville driver is scheduled to make his return as the new Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series season begins on Saturday night. A special $1,000-to-win 25-lap Late Model feature highlights the action. Joining the Late Models in the first Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series program will be the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds, Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars. "We've got the same car, a Rocket XR-1. It only has a handful of races on it," Henson said. "Last year, the few races I got to run, I felt really comfortable in that car and that means a lot. I'm excited to get back after it. We have a good little shock program and car program behind us. "Larry and I were pretty dominant together. It was fun racing him. We're ready to go back door-to-door with him and the other guys." Henson and Ferris shared the Midseason Championship last year, with both winning two features and each taking a pair of runner-up finishes. Ferris went on to win four times overall to capture his first Lucas Oil Speedway championship. "That was pretty heartbreaking, but it's part of racing," Henson said of his blown motor. "You're going to have that sometimes. We just kept our head up and regrouped. I said at the time that if I couldn't win the championship, I hoped Larry could. "Larry's one hell of a guy. When I blew my motor, Larry was one of the first to call me and offer me a spare motor and to come down and get it. That meant a lot to me. He's just an all-around great guy. I kept up with how Larry was doing the rest of the season and was happy for him." Since last season, Henson said he's now the primary car owner though former owner Rob Schlup remains a valued team member who will accompany him to the track. "We're still good and we're still going racing together," Henson said. "We just hope to have a good, fun year of racing. That's what it's all about, go out there and make it fun with family and friends. They say it's like riding a bicycle. Hopefully I can get back on the bicycle and ride good, just like we were doing last season." Gates are scheduled to open at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.

  BRADEN CHIARAMONTE GETS AN UNEXPECTED RIDE AND WINS BEST OF THE WEST SERIES RACE AT IMPERIAL

  (Torrance, CA, March 18, 2023) Sixteen year old racer Braden Chiaramonte went to the Imperial Valley Raceway with plans to race his 360 sprint car in the Southern California Open Competition Non Wing Sprint Car race. After getting there, the rising star was offered a chance to drive one of Sexton Gatlin Racing's potent cars in the lightning sprint car portion of the show and he parlayed the opportunity into his first win of the 2023 season. 336181845_967476951296897_2351395383758508128_n.jpg Braden Chiaramonte after his lightning sprint win at Imperial Valley. The race, which was round #2 of the "Best of the West" series, was co-sanctioned by the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Cars and the California Lightning Sprints. Scheduled to be the final race of the night, some competitors were hoping the El Cajon, California-based driver would be worn out from wheeling his 360 sprinter to a second place finish in the B main and a ninth in the 30-lap open comp main before starting the lightning finale. Chiaramonte quickly noticed that he was anything but tired. With an appreciative crowd looking on, the lightning sprints pulled onto the track for the final open wheel race at the annual California Mid-Winter Fair. For the second night in a row, young CLS star Eric Greco of Palmdale was on the outside of the front row. On the inside of the first pair was Ryan Dumas of San Diego. Row two featured the defending POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car champion Brent Sexton of Lakeside and long time CLS star Jeff Dyer of Yucca Valley. Chiaramonte was on the inside of row three with his teammate and Friday night main event victor AJ Bender of San Diego on the outside. Fellow San Diegan Brent Horn was on the inside of row four alongside five times CLS champion Bobby Michnowicz of Oak Hills. Like the first night, Greco steered his number 8G into the lead at the beginning. Dumas and Dyer were second and third. Before the opening lap concluded, Dyer, a California Highway Patrol officer by trade, had taken over the runner up spot. Chiaramonte raised the eyebrows of fans with a sensational outside move going into turn three on the third circuit. Running sixth at the time, he blew around Michnowicz and Dyer. By the time he rocketed off turn four, he was up to fourth. One lap later, the talented teen changed lines and went to the inside of the racetrack to pass Bender for third. By lap five the leaders had gotten into lapped traffic. The back markers proved to be no problem for the leaders. Not long thereafter, Dumas stopped on the track causing the first of three yellow flags in the main. For the restart, Dyer, who had just taken the lead, was at the point with Greco second, Chiaramonte third, Bender fourth and Sexton fifth. Chiaramonte did not stay in second for long. He got by Greco and Dyer and assumed the lead. Dyer's night came to a premature end when mechanical gremlins hit on lap 13. A couple more yellows slowed the action before the final restart. Sexton and Michnowicz took Greco for second and third on the last green flag of the race. However, by that time, Chiaramonte was pulling away. Chiaramonte took the checkered flag for his first win of 2023 with room to spare in a finish that saw the top five all spread out. Sexton placed second with Michnowicz third. Greco and impressive newcomer Robby Brockman of El Cajon rounded out the top five. Pat Kelley of Chino was the race "Hard Charger." The second generation driver started 18th and passed six cars on his way to a 12th place finish. Chiaramonte was the fastest of the 19 cars to time trial with a lap of 11.819. Greco turned in the second best time of the night at 12.251 with Michnowicz third at 12.311. Brockman, on only his second night of racing a lightning, was fourth at 12.324. Bender won the opening heat race of the night when he held off a late race charge by Chiaramonte. San Diego's Brent Horn was third. In the second heat, Dyer took the win over Sexton and Dumas. Next on the CLS schedule will be on April 1st at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway. On that night, the club will once again team with the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Cars for round #3 of "The Best of the West Series."

  Steven Snyder, Jr. Sweeps the Milestone Home Service Co. Outlaw Nationals!

  Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (March 11, 2023) Earning the pole with his win on Friday night, Maryland's Steven Snyder, Jr. battled tooth and nail to complete the sweep and, $10,000 at the Milestone Home Service Co. Outlaw Nationals presented by T2 Promotions at Port City Raceway with the Dirt2Media National Open Wheel 600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division. Falling to second after the opening lap, it was Brian Carber who showed the way. Finding traffic on Lap 6, the fight for the top spot would be relentless, with the two picking slower cars nearly every lap trying to keep the other at bay. Wheeling top to bottom at both ends of the eight-mile oval, caution brought the battle to a stall just shy of the race's mid-point. Taking over the lead on Lap 23, Snyder put distance each time as Carber found himself fighting with Jeffrey Newell for the runner-up spot. Into traffic through the final five laps, slower cars worked low as Snyder railed the cushion to a 1.407-second advantage at the finish. Swapping up second until Lap 45, Newell secured silver on the field, with Brian Carber settling for the bronze. Jake Hagopian, from seventh, made it to fourth, with Matthew Howard fifth. Making a comeback for the ages, Jett Nunley rebounded from a flip in his Heat Race that put him racing through the B-Feature to Victory Lane and a $2,000 payday in Restricted competition. Gridding the feature 19th, cautions played to the advantage of Nunley. Slowly picking his way forward, Nunley worked to fifth on Lap 23. Slowed for the final time on Lap 25 as race leader Wyatt Miller suffered contact from Lathe Griggs in a battle for the lead, the No. 3 was docked two spots on the restart for rough driving and with that, moved the No. 33 to second. Chasing Kyle Hooper on the restart, Nunley worked the hub on Kyle Hooper for the lead on Lap 31. Taking off from there, Nunley grabbed the win by 1.218-seconds. Kyle Hooper took second, with Lathe Griggs in third. Cooper Miller and Carson Bolden completed the top five. Looking like a runner-up finish was going to be the result; a caution with two to go changed everything for Braxton Flatt, who made the final turn pass for the win. Leading the opening nine laps, the CB Industries No. 81 would go chasing after Ryker Griggs. Pulling away by over a second, caution lights displayed with two to go. Building his run on the restart, the run into the third and fourth turns saw Flatt dive the bottom on Griggs to pull off the win. Brody Stewart crossed third, with Ryker Jones and Tripp Dotson making up the top five. Saturday's field included 149 entries across the three divisions. A total of $61,880 was awarded during A-Feature competition. The Dirt2Media National Open Wheel 600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division, races next at Grayson County Speedway in Bells, Texas, on Friday, March 24, and Saturday, March 25, with A-Class, Stock Non-Wing, and Restricted in action.
