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

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

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

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

- Earl Pearson Jr. named Forrest Lucas Award winner, Garner Most Popular Driver at Lucas Oil Speedway Awards banquet
LAKE OZARK, MO. (Nov. 23, 2024) - Lucas Oil Speedway honored its four track champions from the 2024 season and revealed several individual awards on Saturday night at the speedway's annual championship banquet at Resort at Lake of the Ozarks. Earl Pearson Jr., one of the legends of Dirt Late Model racing, was unveiled as winner of the top honor, the Forrest Lucas Lifetime Achievement Award, to conclude the festivities. The award is selected by Lucas Oil Speedway track management and goes to an individual who epitomizes excellence, character, loyalty and friendship to the sport of racing on and off the track. Pearson, an annual competitor at Lucas Oil Speedway as part of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series since the track opened in 2006, began his racing career in his hometown of Jacksonville, Fla., inspired by family and friends already involved in the sport. Initially racing go-karts, he honed his skills and moved up to late model dirt racing in 1995, carrying his father's number 46. winning his first Hav-A-Tampa Series National event in 1996 and Rookie of the year honors in 1997. His early success and natural talent caught the attention of teams and sponsors. He was hired by Dunn-Benson Motorsports in 2000 to drive their dirt late model, a team sponsored by Lucas Oil Products, initially connecting Earl and Forrest Lucas. Lucas' support was essential for Pearson's career, as the sponsorship allowed him to race consistently and reach new heights in dirt racing, earning the Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series Championship in 2004. That consistent sponsorship carried on for over two decades, a rare achievement in a national series and giving him the title as the longest sponsored athlete by Lucas Oil Products at 25 years. Their partnership remained significant in the formation of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, symbolizing loyalty and mutual success in the sport. Pearson was there from day one, when the series was established in 2005. It emerged as a top-tier Dirt Late Model racing series in the United States, attracting the country's best dirt racing talent. The first four consecutive Lucas Oil championships from 2005 to 2008 were claimed by Pearson, a feat that has cemented his legacy within the series and he is the only driver that has competed every year since its inception. He found victory lane in some of the biggest dirt late model events in the country, and ranks fourth in all-time series feature wins with 40. In addition to drawing fans, Pearson's success attracted sponsorships to the Lucas Oil series, which has been crucial for its growth and sustainability. His association with high-profile sponsors helped pave the way for other drivers and teams to secure their own sponsorships, allowing the series to expand its reach and offer bigger purses, which in turn attracted even more talented drivers. "We're proud to present the Forrest Lucas Lifetime Achievement Award to Earl for not only his on-track success as a driver, but his many contributions to the sport and the first-class manner in which he has been a leader and a friend to so many," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. Pearson received the award in a special presentation earlier this week at the Lucas Cattle Ranch. During a video of his remarks about the award, played at the banquet, Pearson talked about his relationship with Forrest Lucas and others. "There are so many people to thank who have helped me through my career with 25 years of racing," Pearson said. "Forrest Lucas and the family and the company and the race track and so many people that's have been involved with Forrest Lucas and who have helped me so much. Danny (Lorton) at the race track and all the people there, it's a beautiful place. "Just to be a part of so many different things Lucas Oil does. It's not the racing, it's the hunting. They're family people. Me and Forrect talk all the time, even today. When he talks I just sit there and listen and learn a lot of things - whether it's business, cattle or whatever it may be. "There are so many people who have helped me get to this point. It ain't all the time about racing and what you do, you have to have people who are friends, just like Chris Davis, Midwest Sheet Metal ... and multiple sponsors." Another high of the evening was announcement of the fan-voted Most Popular Driver winner. This year that went to William Garner of Lebanon, who also was recognized for his track championship in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars division. "I've gotta thank everybody who voted for me on this," Garner said. "Every single one of these drivers, they're all really good people. There's no better people in the world than the racing community." Other track champions who were honored were Justin Wells of Aurora in the Hermitage Lumber Late Models, Springfield's JC Morton in the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and Jason Pursley in the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds. The Best Appearing Race Car Awards in each division, as selected by the Lucas Oil Speedway staff and GS Stanek Racing Photography, went to: Alan Westling (Hermitage Lumber Late Models), Mason Beck (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars), J.T. Carroll (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Robbie Reed (Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds). The 2025 season is scheduled to fire up March 22nd with March Full Body Madness after Open Test & Tune on March 15th. Weekly racing in the Pitts Homes and Realty Weekly Racing Series will feature five divisions - Hermitage Lumber Late Models, Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds, O'Reilly Auto Parts Super Stocks, Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B Mods and Hickamo Country Store Stock Cars.

- Lucas Oil Speedway planning Open Late Model specials to fill schedule openings
WHEATLAND, MO. (Nov. 20, 2024) - Lucas Oil Speedway is planning some Open Late Model specials in 2025 to fill openings on the 2025 track schedule. "We're eager to put together some specials to continue bringing top-quality Late Model racing that drivers and fans have been accustomed to," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "We believe that everyone will be pleased with what's coming up." On April 11-12, the speedway will run the 12th annual Spring Nationals with an Open Late Model unified rules package. It will pay $7,000-to-win on Friday, April 11th and $20,000-to-win on Saturday night. The Hickamo Country Store Super Stocks and Show-Me Vintage Racers also will be in action both nights. The 11th annual Ron Jenkins Memorial will be held Aug. 29-30 featuring the Comp Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS). Those features will pay $5,000-to-win on Friday and $10,000 on Saturday. Once again, the Hickamo Country Store Super Stocks and Show-Me Vintage Racers also are scheduled. A big weekend will return on Oct. 9-11 with the Super Stocks Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt and Late Model Fall Nationals. Lorton said details are still being worked out for the Late Model portion of that event as to whether a Late Model series or the speedway will promote the action similar to the Spring Nationals in April. The two other race weekends involving the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series remain as scheduled - the 33rd annual Show-Me 100 May 22-24 with three nights of action plus the 19th annual CMH Diamond Nationals July 11-12. The Super Stocks are scheduled to be on the Diamond Nationals program. The 2025 Lucas Oil Speedway season is scheduled to fire up March 22nd with March Full Body Madness, after an Open Test and Tune on March 15th.
