- Points format for USRA Modifieds, Order of Events set for Show-Me 100 weekend at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 24, 2022) - While the Late Models take center stage for the 30th annual Show-Me 100 Presented by ProtecttheHarvest.com, the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds also will be running for prestige and extra cash this weekend. The format for the Modified portion of the program has been announced and, like the Late Models, the Modified drivers will collect points based upon their finishes in Thursday and Friday programs that will lock in the first 16 starting positions in Saturday's feature. Here is a breakdown of how the points-earned formula will work Thursday and Friday for the Modifieds: A-Main points awarded as follows: 1st 200 points, 2nd 180, 3rd 170, 4th 160, 5th 155, 6th 150, 7th 145, 8th 140, 9th 135, 10th 130, 11th 115, 14th 110, 15th 105, 16th 100, 17th 95, 18th 90, 19th 85, 20th 80, 21st-through-24th 75. To receive A-main points, drivers must start the event. B-Main points awarded as follows to the B-Main non-transfers: 1st non-transfer 70, 2nd 65, 3rd 60, 4th 55, 5th 50, 6th 45, 7th 40, 8th 35, 9th 30, 10th-through-26th 25. To receive B-main points, drivers must start the event. The starting grid for the 30-lap USRA Modified feature on Saturday will see the most-combined points starting on the pole, the second most outside of row one and etc., through the 16th-most points starting 16th. Ties in overall points will be broken: First by highest overall individual points night total for each tied driver and second highest overall individual finish for each tied driver. All combined points for "non-transferring" drivers will be split into B-Mains on Saturday based on combined points. The top four from each of the 12-lap B-Mains will transfer to the A-Main. Lap counts for Thursday and Friday will be 8 laps for heats with the top 16 in passing points transferring to the A-Main; B-mains will be 12 laps with top four transferring to A-main and 20 laps for the A-mains on Thursday and Friday. All three nights of the event also will see the Modified drivers earning both USRA National and Lucas Oil Speedway track points. Each driver receives 50 "participant points" as long as the driver competes in at least a heat race or a B-main.

- SPRINT CARS & MODIFIEDS IN 71ST SALUTE TO INDY SATURDAY AT PERRIS
(Perris, CA, May 23, 2022) This Saturday night, May 28th, Perris Auto Speedway will host one of the nation's oldest sprint car races when the 71st running of the "Salute to Indy" takes place. The exciting racing card on the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval will feature the popular 410 cubic inch Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, IMCA Modifieds, and The PAS Senior & Young Gun Sprints. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 P.M. with racing at 7:00. PAS 5-22-21=91r Win=1674-3.jpg Brody Roa taking a swig of the victory chocolate milk after winning last year's "Salute to Indy." Doug Allen photo. The "Salute to Indy," which is a tip of the hat to the Indianapolis 500, dates to 1948 when Dempsey Wilson captured the inaugural running of the now prestigious race. From 1948 through 1990, the race was contested in all but five years. After legendary Ascot Park closed in 1990, it was put on ice until The PAS hosted it in 1996. Since its rebirth in the Inland Empire, the famed race has taken place each year except for 2008 when it was canceled by rain, and 2020 when it was wiped out by COVID. While this weekend's event comes 74-years after the race was initially held, it will be the 71st running. You may be wondering how that can be as the race did not take place 12-times since its introduction. The answer is a simple one. Some years in the 1970s and 1980s, Ascot held multiple races over Memorial Day weekend and each race was called the "Salute to Indy". In 1971, 1978, 1981, 1982, and 1983, there were two "Salute to Indy" races. In 1980, three editions of the race took place on the revered grounds located at 190th and Vermont in Gardena, California. Over the years, National Sprint Car Hall of Famers Dean Thompson and Bubby Jones recorded the most "Salute to Indy" wins with five victories each. However, all of Thompson's wins came in years when the race was held multiple times. In addition, three of Jones's five triumphs took place when the race was held more than one time per year. Only two drivers have won the race four times. One is National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Billy Wilkerson and the other is nine-time USAC/CRA Sprint Car champion Damion Gardner of Concord, California. Unlike Thompson and Jones, Wilkerson and Gardner's triumphs all came when the race was only run one time per year. Wilkerson's victories came at Ascot in 1968, 69,' 72' and 73.' Gardner's triumphs came in 2003, 04,' 14,' and 17' and all were at The PAS. A win on Saturday by Gardner would tie him with Thompson and Jones for the most wins in "Salute to Indy" history. In addition to Gardner, three other past winners of the "Salute to Indy" will be in action on Saturday. One is defending race champion Brody Roa of Garden Grove, California. Besides Gardner and his arch-rival Roa, two other past winners, Yorba Linda's Matt Mitchell, and "the Big Game Hunter," Austin Williams, of Corona, California, will be racing on Saturday. Mitchell sipped the traditional chocolate milk that PAS winners get at the "Salute to Indy," in 2011 and 2013. Williams did likewise when he crossed the finish line first in 2016 and 2018. Saturday will be the 25th edition of the "Salute to Indy" at The PAS. As mentioned earlier, it was not held in 2008 due to rain, and in 2020 when COVID intervened. Other years in the race's long history that it did not take place were 1950, 1951, 1960, 1965, 1970, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995. Saturday's show will include qualifying, 10-lap heat races, a 12-lap B Main event, and a 30-lap A Main for the USAC/CRA drivers. The IMCA Modifieds will contest heat races, a B Main if needed, and a 20-lap main event. The Senior Sprint Cars, for drivers 40-years-old and over, will contest an eight-lap heat race and a 20-lap main event. Adult tickets for Saturday's "Salute to Indy," are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6-12, it is just $5.00. Children 5 and under are free. Parking on the fairgrounds is $10.00. Advance tickets for all Perris Auto Speedway events, including this Saturday, are on sale now. Fans can order the tickets online at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 or by calling 1-800-595-4849.

- A dozen things to know before the 30th annual Show-Me 100 at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 23, 2022) - For the Diamond of Dirt Tracks, it's the jewel that shines the brightest and a week that everyone in dirt Late Model racing looks forward to. But the biggest question as the 30th annual Show-Me 100 Presented by ProtecttheHarvest.com nears is this: Can we have a normal week, please? Whether it's been facility damage from storm winds that forced cancellation of the 2019 Show-Me 100, a pandemic that turned the 2020 rendition to a one-day show in mid-summer or rain and brutally cold conditions that altered last year's schedule, everyone is keeping their fingers crossed over the next few days. The last "normal" three-day Show-Me 100 in 2018 saw Scott Bloomquist, the legendary Late Model driver from Mooresburg, Tennessee, capture his record sixth Show-Me 100. As we count down the days and hours toward Thursday's opening night, here are a 12 things to know (while occasionally clicking on your favorite weather app). 1 - What is the weather outlook? Pretty darned good. According to the National Weather Service, Thursday's forecast calls for sunshine and a high of 67 with a low at night of 52; Friday is sunshine with a high of 80 and low of 61; Saturday's predicted high is 83 with a low of 63. The biggest key - no mention of precipitation. 2 - Record purse up for grabs. The winner of Saturday night's 100-lap feature not only will join the history books as a Show-Me 100 winner, he will earn a record $50,000 - a bump of $20,000 from a year ago. The total purse over the three days also is a record of just over $233,000. 3 - Pre-race to remember. Fans will want to be in their seats early on Saturday for the Nutrien Ag Solutions Pre-Race Ceremonies Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism. Country music star and RCA recording artist Aaron Tippin will be introduced as the Show-Me 100 Grand Marshal and as part of the opening ceremonies the Clinton High School Army JROTC color guard will present the colors as Tippin leads the Pledge of Allegiance. Danny Terrell, an up-and-coming local country music artist will sing the National Anthem. During the National Anthem the All Veterans Group Sky Dive Team-presented by the Missouri Division of Tourism will display the American Flag as they precisely land on track. Before the Show-Me 100 main event, Tippin will sing two of his hit songs, "You Got to Stand for Something" and "Where the Star and Stripes and Eagles Fly" just before the Nutrien Ag Solutions driver introductions Presented by O'Reilly Auto Parts. 3 - Can Bloomquist roll a 7? Bloomquist has largely struggled since a motorcycle accident in March of 2019 greatly limited his mobility. He was winless in 2021 for the first in his career, but the 58-year-old is showing signs of again being a contender with seven top-five finishes in 13 events in 2022. Fans either love to cheer Bloomquist or boo him with little in between. If he contends for another Show-Me 100 victory, it would be a huge storyline. 4 - Don't forget the "Mayor." With his vast success at Lucas Oil Speedway, Jimmy Owens earned the nickname of "Mayor of Wheatland" by winning the Show-Me 100 in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2016. The Newport, Tennessee driver also has won the mid-summer CMH Diamond Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway four times, the latest in 2019. Owens led 28 laps in the early portion of last year's Show-Me 100 before settling for eighth at the finish. 5 - O'Neal shoots for back-to-back. One year ago, young Hudson O'Neal capped a chilly weekend in south-central Missouri with his first crown-jewel dirt Late Model win by capturing the 29th annual Show-Me 100. O'Neal, of Martinsville, Indiana let his emotions flow in victory lane and now the 21-year-old tries to make it two in a row. 6 - Veterans seeking their first. There are a handful of Dirt Late Model giants who have done just about everything but win the Show-Me 100. That list includes former reigning Lucas Oil Dirt Late Model Series champion Tim McCreadie (48) of Watertown, New York, and four-time series champ Earl Pearson Jr., of Jacksonville, Florida. Or how about Brandon Sheppard of New Berlin, Illinois, second a year ago and now campaigning on (and leading) the LOLMDS in the Rocket-chassis house car. 7 - Show-Me State drivers take aim. Just two years ago, Payton Looney of Republic became only the second Missouri driver to win his home state's biggest race, joining Terry Phillips in 1999 as a Show-Me 100 winner. Looney and Logan Martin of West Plains and reigning MLRA champion Tony Jackson Jr. of Lebanon are a trio of Missourians to keep an eye on, especially if they're able to fare well on in the preliminaries on Thursday and Friday, earning valuable points toward starting positions on the final night. 8 - Tribute to history Thursday and Friday. Speaking of those prelims, the Show-Me 100 pays tribute to major figures in regional dirt Late Model history on the first two nights. Thursday's program is highlighted by the "Cowboy Classic" in honor of the late Allen "Cowboy" Chancellor, former owner of the Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA). Then on Friday, it's the "Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson" the former owners of West Plains Motor Speedway and founders of the Show-Me 100 in 1993. Winners of those Thursday and Friday features will earn $6,000. 9 - Last chance qualifier always a doozy. The top 24 non-qualifiers for the Show-Me 100 on Saturday will get one more shot through the Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge. The immensely popular race, sponsored by Chris and Jan Davis of Midwest Sheet Metal in Springfield, allows the winner to either keep the $2,500 winner's check or give it back for a chance to start the 100-lapper at the tail of the field. In 2016, Bobby Pierce won the Challenge and then nearly won the Show-Me 100 after taking a late lead. 10 - Cool souvenirs for a good cause. Fans attending on Saturday can walk away with a cool souvenir, while also helping a great charity. Ron Mitchell, an Ozarks Area Racers Foundation Hall of Famer as a racing photographer, will hold his annual Show-Me 100 Door Panel Auction on the hillside between the front gate and the grandstands. Door panels from both local and national drivers will be available and fans can place silent bids until intermission. The auction has raised more than $50,000 for the American Cancer Society since 2010. 11 - Modifieds on the undercard. It's always a great show when the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds take to the track and they're back again on the undercard all three nights. The Modifieds will run for $750-to-win Thursday and Friday while accumulating points toward the 30-lap feature lineup on Saturday night which will pay $1,500 to the winner and $200 to start. 12 - See it live, in-person or via MAVTV Plus. Fans unable to attend the Show-Me 100 in person will be able to tune in all three nights, including a live broadcast of Saturday's program on the MAVTV Motorsports Network. All three nights will be available live on the subscription-based streaming service MAVTV Plus at MAVTVplus.com or via tablets or smart phones on the MAVTV Plus app. Previous Show-Me 100 winners: 2021 - Hudson O'Neal, Martinsville, Ind. 2020 - Payton Looney, Republic, Mo. 2019 - Canceled (storm damage) 2018 - Scott Bloomquist, Mooresburg, Tenn. 2017 - Bobby Pierce, Oakwood, Ill. 2016 - Jimmy Owens, Newport, Tenn. 2015 - Jonathan Davenport, Blairsville, Ga. 2014 - Don O'Neal, Martinsville, Ind. 2013 - Jimmy Owens, Newport, Tenn. 2012 - Jimmy Owens, Newport, Tenn. 2011 - Jimmy Owens, Newport, Tenn. 2010 - Ray Cook, Brasstown, N.C. 2009 - Brian Birkhofer, Muscatine, Iowa 2008 - Scott Bloomquist, Mooresburg, Tenn. 2007 - Wendell Wallace, Batesville, Ark. 2006 - Wendell Wallace, Batesville, Ark. 2005 - Scott Bloomquist, Mooresburg, Tenn. 2004 - Scott Bloomquist, Mooresburg, Tenn. 2003 - Scott Bloomquist, Mooresburg, Tenn. 2002 - Wendell Wallace, Batesville, Ark. 2001 - Freddy Smith, Knoxville, Tenn. 2000 - Ray Cook, Brasstown, N.C. 1999 - Terry Phillips, Springfield, Mo. 1998 - Freddy Smith, Knoxville, Tenn. 1997 - Rick Aukland, Fargo, N.C. 1996 - Billy Moyer, Batesville, Ark. 1995 - Scott Bloomquist, Mooresburg, Tenn. 1994 - Billy Moyer, Batesville, Ark. 1993 - Billy Moyer, Batesville, Ark.

- JEFF DYER GETS ANOTHER CLS SECOND-PLACE FINISH AT BAKERSFIELD
(Yucca Valley, CA, May 20, 2022) Jeff Dyer continued his pursuit of the 2022 California Lightning Sprint Car Series championship with his third straight second-place finish at the Bakersfield Speedway last Saturday night. In addition to the CLS side of the program, Dyer also raced his 410 sprint car and finished 14th in the companion USAC/CRA main event. 280524714_3104555146462480_1116574500896404848_n.jpg Jeff Dyer and his wife Christina before last Saturday's race at Bakersfield. Saturday's race was Dyer's fifth of the year in the CLS and his performances have been phenomenal. In addition to his three second-place finishes, he also has a third and a fourth. Dyer came out of Saturday's race 79-points out of first in the championship standings. However, he has missed one race while the point leader has not. As the CLS has a one-race throw-away rule in 2022. Dyer's throw-out race will be the one he missed. At the beginning of the night, Dyer recorded the fastest time in West Evans Motorsports CLS qualifying with a lap of 12.908. Not only was that faster than all the CLS cars, but it was also faster than all the 410 USAC/CRA Sprint Cars as well. Dyer followed the qualifying effort in his familiar #4 with a third-place finish in his heat. For the main, the retired United States Army Demolitions Expert started fifth. He quickly advanced to third. On lap eight, the second-place car got caught in lapped traffic. Veteran Dyer took full advantage of the situation, raced by, and set his sights on the leader. The distance between the leader and Dyer quickly dwindled. Suddenly, Dyer was within striking distance, and he tried to knife his way inside in turn one on the 10th lap. The leader thwarted the effort and pulled away. At that point, most in the crowd thought the race for the lead was over. Dyer, who recently turned 40, had other ideas. The pacesetter got caught behind lapped traffic on the 14th go around. As soon as he did, Dyer was camping on his tail tank. He tried to pass for the lead on the inside in turn one, but once again, the leader held him at bay before motoring away. That was not going to be the end of the story. As the laps dwindled down, Dyer seemingly was not going to catch the first-place driver. However, with two laps to go, he was coming on like a runaway freight train. Just as he was about to mount another challenge, a lapped car drifted into Dyer's path forcing him to slow down. With only two laps to go, it was too late for Dyer to rebuild his momentum and he took another second place. Dyer moved forward more than any other driver in the main event and was the Speed Mart/Advanced Racing Suspension "Hard Charger." When the 25-lap CLS race ended, Dyer returned to his pit and jumped into his 410 USAC/CRA Sprint Car. The veteran driver started 19th in a race that was plagued with multiple yellows and one red flag. With chaos all around him, the Yucca Valley, California resident stayed out of the trouble and came home 14th. This Saturday, Dyer will continue his pursuit of the CLS title when the series makes a stop at the Ventura Raceway. For fans who would like to attend Saturday's show, adult tickets are $22.00. Seniors 60 and over, military with id, and students with id get in for $18.00. Kids 12 and under are free when accompanied by an adult. Spectator gates will open at 3:00 p.m. and the first race will be at 5:30. 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. On May 28th, he will jump back into his USAC/CRA 410 sprint car for the annual Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway. As usual, Dyer is not the only member of the family who will be competing this Saturday. His son Seth will be racing at Wheel2Wheel Raceway in Victorville, where he is fifth in the restrictor class championship standings. Last Saturday night, the teen finished fifth in the main event. For fans who would like to attend Saturday's show at Ventura, adult tickets are $22.00. Seniors 60 and over, military with id, and students with an id get in for $18.00. Kids 12 and under are free when accompanied by an adult. Spectator gates will open at 3:00 p.m. and the first race will be at 5:30. The track is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W.

Dyer would like to thank the following for making the 2022 season possible in the #4 Lightning Sprint Car. Dependable Machine Inc., Haircuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, LBA Investigations, and Dyer Motorsports. For the USAC/CRA #39 sprint car, Straight Time Stirrups, Dependable Machines Inc., Hair Cuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, Justice Brothers, and Specialty Fasteners make it all possible.

- SEXTON GATLIN RACING SWEEPS THE PODIUM AT BARONA
(Lakeside, CA, May 18, 2022) Sexton Gatlin Racing made a shambles of the proceedings by sweeping the podium when the Lucas Oil Southwest Lightning Series visited Barona Speedway last Saturday night. Dalton Sexton returned to victory lane for the second time in 2022 and he was followed home by teammates David Bezio and Brent Sexton. 281830025_10222373774435009_4425940720326648923_n.jpg Dalton Sexton on his way to the wingless main event win at Barona. Missy Benker photo. Missing from the squad on Saturday night was 2021 SWLS champion Grant Sexton. The 17-year-old took the night off to attend his high school prom. When his seat became open, Bezio gladly stepped in for his young friend. The domination of the Lakeside, California team began in the heat races. Dalton was on the pole and captured the first heat. Heat two saw Brent off the pole with Bezio alongside. Showing no respect for the boss, Bezio was the first to the checkered flag with Brent in the runner-up spot. For the 20-lap main event, Dalton was starting on the inside of the third row in his Sexton Fire Protection/BK Wings/Troy Dirt/Victory Graphix/Swift Powdercoat/Maxima Oil/Infiniti Shocks/Scotty and Jimmy Keys #18. Bezio was starting next to him in fourth with Brent in fifth. Dalton immediately drove into second as soon as the race started. Bezio and Brent settled into fourth and fifth. Dalton became embroiled in a war for the lead that raged on for several laps before he secured the spot. Once out front, he was unchallenged the rest of the way. Bezio and Brent had to work harder for their top-three finishes. They were still fourth and fifth before Bezio picked off two cars just past the halfway point to take over second. Brent was still mired in fifth when the fourth-place driver tapped the car in third and sent it spinning. With nowhere to go, Brent slid to a stop. It looked like he and the car that was hit would have to go to the back. However, track officials penalized the car that started the incident and sent it to the rear. Brent and the other car involved were allowed to restart and move up one spot from where they were (due to the offending car being sent to the back). That put Brent in fourth. The race restarted with a handful of laps to go, and Dalton ran away from the pack once again and picked up his first win since March 4th at Imperial Valley. Bezio placed second for the second time in 2022. Brent fought his way into third as time was running out giving SGR the top-three sweep. Dalton's win propelled him back into the point going into the June 8th race at Barona. Brent is second, only 21-points behind his firstborn. Bezio is third, 34-points behind Dalton. Grant is eighth. SGR was initially headed to Missouri next week for the POWRi Lightning Sprint Nationals. However, with the price of fuel through the roof, they have decided to skip that trip. Instead, they are attempting to get Grant's 360 sprint car ready for a debut with the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars in the historical "Salute To Indy" at Perris Auto Speedway. Sexton/Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2022 season possible. Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, Troy Dirt, Victory Graphix, Swift Powdercoat, Maxima Oil, Infiniti Shocks and an extra special thanks to Scotty and Jimmy Keys. Plans are already underway for another busy season in 2022.

- CHIARAMONTE MAKES TWO INDIANA MAINS - USAC MIDGETS THIS SATURDAY
(El Cajon, CA, May 18, 2022) Braden Chiaramonte made his first-ever appearance at Indiana's US 24 Speedway an impressive one by qualifying for two of the three main events in the "All In Transportation A Wingless Clash" micro race last weekend. This Saturday night, May 21st, he will be wheeling Matt Streeter's USAC Midget in his Ventura Raceway debut. The journey to Indiana included great racing and heavy rain. Most of all, it pitted Chiaramonte against more than 90 top drivers from 11 different states and Australia. Driving a Hyper house car, the 15-year-old started second in his 10-lap heat race on opening night. However, when the pole sitter jumped the start, the front row was penalized back to row two and Chiaramonte would be coming from fourth instead of second. He advanced one spot during the brief race to finish third. In his 20-lap qualifier, he started on the outside of row four and advanced the Hyper Racing #95 four spots to finish fourth and earn one of the positions in the 30-lap A main. He started 17th on the inside of the ninth row, and once again he moved forward passing four cars to finish 13th. Of the 94-cars that showed up for the Thursday night opener, only 22 earned one of the coveted main event spots. One of those drivers was Chiaramonte. Twenty-four hours later, Chiaramonte showed up to battle again. Ninety cars were on hand for the Friday show, and all were aiming to get a hard-to-come by starting spot in the main event. For the second night in a row, Chiaramonte, in the bright orange and gray Hyper Racing #95, was in the eighth, 10-lap heat race. He began the race in the second spot and ended up finishing third. In his 20-lap qualifier, he started fourth and maintained that position throughout. He claimed one of the main event spots for the second night in a row. After starting 20th in the 30-lapper, he again passed four cars to finished 16th. When all was said and done after two nights, 91 drivers had a chance to start both main events. Chiaramonte was one of only eight to do it! After heavy rain threatened Saturday's program, the track crew did an amazing job getting the surface in shape and the cars rolled out for the finale. Chiaramonte was in the first heat where he started sixth and moved forward to finish third. In his 20-lap qualifier, he began in third and finished fifth. That placed Chiaramonte in the Last Chance Qualifier. For the LCQ, he was starting in fourth and he needed to finish there or better to get into the final main event. It would be a tall order, but if anyone was up to it, it would be the teen who has the cool composure of a 20-year-veteran. Things got complicated before the LCQ started! When Chiaramonte pulled onto the track the bolt on his shifter broke. So, for restarts, he had to reach out and pull the shift rod by hand. He started 12th and worked his way up to and finished fifth. On the passing points for the week, he fell one point shy of the transfer. However, when he was pulling off the track after the LCQ, he noticed that one of the cars did not go to the scales. Thus, Chiaramonte gained a point and was tied for the final position in the main. Rules determined Thursday's highest finisher of the tied cars would get the nod. Chiaramonte was 13th and the other car was 11th. Unfortunately, his first racing adventure at US 24 was over. While in Indiana, Chiaramonte did well and got a lot of attention over the three days. He was impressive enough to get invited to go back to the same track for the three-day "Big Dance" on June 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Chiaramonte and his family want to send a big thank you to Hyper Racing's Jim Radney for making the weekend possible. Chiaramonte will be right back in action this Saturday night when he makes his second start in Matt Streeter's #14JR USAC Western States midget at the Ventura Raceway. Last month when he made his midget debut in Streeter's car at Bakersfield, Chiaramonte surprised everyone at the track. He qualified ninth fastest in the 21-car field, led most of his heat race before finishing second, and ended up 10th in the main.

In addition to it only being Chiaramonte's second race in a midget, it will be his first-ever appearance at the Ventura Raceway. Located adjacent to the beach on the Ventura County Fairgrounds, the picturesque track is one of the most popular in the country.

Harbor Boulevard (93001). The website is http://venturaraceway.com/ and the office phone number is (805) 648-RACE.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: USRA Stock Cars the latest addition to Dean Wille's racing resume
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 18, 2022) - Dean Wille was watching a video replay of his recent O'Reilly Auto Parts Stock Cars feature victory at Lucas Oil Speedway when track announcers Corey Riggs and Shane Friebe mentioned that Wille had won at 10 different tracks during a 30-year racing career. Wille had to hit the pause button and think about it for a minute. "I've raced here, there and everywhere," Wille said. "But I heard that and thought, 'Have I really won at 10 tracks?' I started counting and was like, 'Yeah, I guess I have.' "That was my first win at Lucas," Wille added. "I've raced there a handful of times with my A Mod. We've had some good runs there, but not any wins. So it's good to say we have a win there now." The veteran driver from Warrensburg, a one-time football player at the University of Central Missouri, looks to make it two on Saturday night when the USRA Stock Cars are the headline class of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series, going 25 laps for $750 to win. It will be Ozarks Coca-Cola/Dr Pepper Night at the Races with the Hermitage Lumber Late Models, Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds and Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods also in action as points battles resume. Wille has driven just about every type of race car during his career. He started in Street Stocks and moved to Modifieds before helping launch the B-Mod division at Central Missouri Speedway several years ago. A banner season was 2012 when he captured 14 races in his A Mod and he still has a car for the USRA Modified class. But the USRA Stock Car class caught his eye, especially after business partner at Gator Graphics James McMillin got involved in it and had success a year ago. "I really like them because of their simplicity," Wille said of the Stock Cars. "There's not a lot on the set-up side of it. There's quite a few things you can do to make it handle, but you don't have a lot of guess work on making them handle. They're more of a driver's car, even more so than the B Mod. "In the B-Mod have to drive car completely wide-open all the time and you have to have your set-up spot-on. The Stock Car, the driver makes more of a difference than the set-up does." Wille said he noticed that even on different tracks that are one-groove for other divisions, the Stock Cars usually are able to race side by side. That not only appeals to the fans, but to the drivers. He's found the racing to be mostly clean despite the close competition. "For the most part, they don't want to tear the car up," he said. "The guys figure out real quick it's not fun doing body work. They're racing hard and fast, but everybody's not out there running over each other. Wille said running for points at Lucas Oil Speedway probably is not realistic because he missed opening night while still getting his newly purchased Scotty Allen Autosports car ready. "So it will be tough to run for points there, although I'll probably run most every night there the rest of the year," Wille said, adding that USRA national points are something he might take a look at later in the season. "We'll have to see how many nights we end up getting to race, with other things going on," Wille said. "At the end of the season they take your best 20 nights with USRA and I like that. We've started off pretty good. We'll see. More than anything, we're racing to have fun." Wille said he plans to break the Modified out next week on the first two nights of Show-Me 100 weekend as the division runs as a support class. Along with Gator Graphics, Wille's sponsors include Cuttin' Up Meat Processing, Royal Roofing & Solar, Fairway Mortgage and Swishers. Gates open at 4 p.m. Saturday with hot laps set for 6:30 and opening ceremonies at 7. The second of four scheduled Kids Power Wheel races are set for intermission.

- CHARITY DEMOLITION DERBY ADDED TO PERRIS NIGHT OF DESTRUCTION
(Perris, CA, May 16, 2022) When the "Craziest Show On Dirt," Night of Destruction Presented By LKQ Pick Your Part, returns to Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday night, May 21st, fans will get an extra bang for their buck. In addition to Figure 8 racing, a Figure 8 Trailer Race, Mini Stocks, Demo Cross, and the zany Double Deckers, fans will also enjoy the "Crush Cancer Demolition Derby." It is the only Demolition Derby currently planned at the track in 2022. 260227750_7060814687269426_6559309698810303660_n.jpg Demolition Derby photo courtesy of Kenny Lonngren. All the proceeds from the Demolition Derby will benefit the Relay for Life of Riverside County East. The drivers entered in the derby are donors to the cause. In addition, there will be an auction for fans to bid on three extra cars for the derby. Once the auction ends, the three winners will pay for their bids using cash or a card. The track will supply the three with helmets and moments later they will be in the middle of the motorized mayhem smashin' and crashin' to their heart's desires. "This will be a fantastic opportunity for someone to participate in a demolition Derby without having to spend countless hours building a car," promoter Don Kazarian said. "Every cent raised in the auction will go straight to fight cancer. A huge thank you to Bob McGinty for supplying all the cars for the derby and getting them ready to battle. Without him, this charity demolition derby would not be possible." Kazarian's involvement with the Relay for Life began several years ago when representatives walked into the office one day and made a proposal for the track to be involved. Since that day, due to the generosity and donations from fans, competitors, track sponsors, and Kazarian and his wife Kim, the track has raised over $125,000.00. "Everyone at the track has gotten behind the fight against cancer," Kazarian stated. "Our drivers go into the stands and collect money in their helmets from the fans during intermission. The drivers donate themselves and so do the team owners and sponsors. We have great fans and they have been sensational and have been very generous in supporting the cause over the years. It is a team effort, and everyone does their part." The entire night will be a crash fest as the daring Figure 8 and Figure 8 Trailer racers will be testing their nerve as they try to speed through the intersection without getting t-boned by another car. Demo Cross is a wild mix of racing and a demolition derby all in one. Crashing or spinning out other drivers is all legal. The mini stocks race by the same anything-goes rules as demo cross. The only difference is they do it on a road course that zig-zags its way through the infield. The crowd's favorite double deckers feature one car bolted on top of another. The driver in the bottom car controls the throttle pedal and brakes. The driver of the top car handles the steering. Before the races from 5:15 through 5:45, all the fans will be allowed onto the track to meet the drivers, take photos of the cars, and collect autographs. In addition, all the drivers will be passing out free candy to all the children at the track. "Night of Destruction has become our biggest drawing show," Kazarian stated with a smile. "In our wildest dreams we never imagined it happening, but it has. It is a show that is fun for kids from four years old to seniors in their 90s. It is good, clean family fun. From kids collecting candy from the drivers before the races to the final checkered flag of the night, it is a fast-paced, highly entertaining show. The fans are normally on their way back home by 10:00 p.m." Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, with racing at 7:00. Adult tickets are $20.00. Kids 6-12 get in for $5.00. Children 5 and under are free. The fairgounds charges $10.00 for parking. Advance tickets for all Perris Auto Speedway events, including this Saturday, are on sale now.

- Kreisel, McIntosh, Bergman prevail at Lucas Oil Speedway's 11th annual Impact Signs Awnings Wraps Open Wheel Showdown
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 14, 2022) - At last, Riley Kreisel was able to celebrate winning a sprint-car feature at Lucas Oil Speedway, a place he's always wanted dearly to take home a feature triumph. Kreisel took command early in the 25-lap POWRi WAR Sprint main event and held off a late charge from Jack Wagner to claim the win at the 11th annual Impact Signs Awnings Wraps Open Wheel Showdown. Other feature winners on Saturday night were Cannon McIntosh (Lucas Oil POWRI National Midget League) and Seth Bergman Lucas Oil ASCS Sooner/Warrior Region Sprints. It was Kreisel's first series win since 2020 and the 11th of his career. None have been at Lucas Oil Speedway and none have been sweeter for the 22-year-old. He had a good amount of fans on hand with his hometown less than an hour from Wheatland. "This place has been on my bucket list to win since I started running sprint cars," Kreisel said. "We came really close the first year I came here. It's been harder and harder every time. So, this is really meaningful. "I couldn't get much closer to home. All my sponsors are local and we work really hard to field a really fast race car. This is huge, more just for everybody involved. It's just a blessing to finally get one here." Kreisel made a move down the back straightaway to slip past early leader Kory Schudy for the lead on lap three. Three laps later, Wagner made his way into the runner-up position. Kreisel and Wagner ran 1-2 until Zach Daum took over second on lap 15, trailing Kreisel by 2.5 seconds. The caution waved on lap 16 as Brad Wyatt spun to a stop in turn two. Wagner moved back into second as action resumed, but Kreisel was able to open about a 10-car-length lead by lap 20 and he continued to check out from there until Wagner made a big run over the last two laps. As the two leaders darted through lapped traffic, Kreisel prevailed by .27 seconds. "That was a fun time. Trying to run down Riley is hard anywhere, especially here," Wagner said, congratulating Kreisel on the long-sought win. Casey Shuman finished third, Steven Russell was fourth and Schudy came home in fifth. McIntosh takes POWRi National Midget League win: Cannon McIntosh made the winning pass with three laps remaining and then held off Chance Crum for the POWRi National Midget League feature win, the seventh of his career. McIntosh, from Bixby, Oklahoma, had to work doubly hard for the victory. He made one pass for the lead that was wiped out as a caution flag appeared before the lap could be completed. No matter. He did it again, one the same part of the track, three laps after the restart. "I definitely knew we were better at the end. I just needed to be able to pull it off," McIntosh said. "It hurt us when we got the lead and went back to second there. "I was trying to get momentum going there on the top. It just wasn't enough to got and get the leader. He was pretty good on the bottom. I just tried something and opened my entry up and cut it down. I'm just super happy. We've been close so many times this year." Crum held a 1.8-second lead over McIntosh when Bryant Wiedeman slowed in turn one on lap 13 with an apparent flat and Austin Barnhill flipped his car in turn four to bring out a caution. Wiedeman, the reigning series champ, started on the front row and led the first lap. But he would fade until rolling to the stop, leading to a tire change. He ultimately finished ninth. Jace Park took over the lead on lap two, but didn't keep it for long. Crum slid past him coming out of turn four on lap five and gradually built his lead until the action came to a stop on lap 13. McIntosh was running second with Alex Sewell third and Park in fourth. Crum continued to lead after the restart, but McIntosh closed in and made a passing out of turn two on lap 20 - but a caution waved before the lap was completed and the running order reverted back to the previous lap. That left Crum in front for a six-lap shootout. McIntosh again fought his way past for the lead, on lap 22, once again exiting turn two. McIntosh held on from there to prevail by .723 seconds. Sewell finished third with Park fourth and Brenham Couch in fifth. ASCS Winged Sprint win to Bergman: Seth Bergman of Snohomish, Washington, led all 25 laps and worked his way masterfully through slower traffic when needed to earn the ASCS Sooner/Warrior Sprint feature win. Bergman picked up his second feature win of the ASCS season, outlasting Blake Hahn down the stretch. Bergman started inside of row two, but after the start was waved off Bergman moved to the pole with pole-sitter Miles Paulus penalized one row. Bergman made the most of the extra-prime position. "Things just worked out there," Bergman said. "It put us on the front row and I knew from there things changed a little bit. I had command of the field at that point and just tried to do my best. "I gave a race away not long ago, a national race at Little Rock, when I ran into a lapped car so that was on my mind when I was leading this one. "I moved around, stayed on the top of the race track and came home on the top step. I could not be more proud of this race team. We've been fast enough every time we hit the track to win a race. It doesn't always work out, but I'm super happy tonight it worked out." Bergman vaulted to the lead at the start and never looked back. He held a 2.5-second command by lap five, but as he and Blake Hahn encountered lapped traffic the runner-up closed the margin to under a half-second by lap 12. But Bergman was able to use that same traffic to his advantage, putting a couple of slower cars between he and Hahn to push the lead back to more than two seconds by lap 15. Hahn came charging late, cutting the margin to three-tenths of a second with two laps remaining. Bergman again pulled away when the pressure mounted, winning by 1.7 seconds over Hahn at the checkers. "Seth was fast tonight. I could kind of reel him in in lapped traffic and that was about the only chance we had tonight," Hahn said. Paulus finished third with Matt Covington fourth and Sean McClelland fifth.

- JEFF DYER DOING DOUBLE DUTY SATURDAY AT THE BAKERSFIELD SPEEDWAY
(Yucca Valley, CA, May 11, 2022) When the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series and California Lightning Sprint Cars converge on the Bakersfield Speedway this Saturday night, May 14th, one of the busiest guys on the premises will be Jeff Dyer. The longtime open-wheel racer will be driving a car in each class and will be hopping back and forth between the two all night long. Deyr, Jeff 3-26.jpg Jeff Dyer in the Cal Smith/Dyer Motorsports #39 earlier this year at Perris Auto Speedway. Charles Fawcett photo. Dyer comes into the CLS portion of Saturday's show ranked fourth in the championship standings. That is despite missing one event when the two series were racing on the same night at different tracks, and he opted to run his 410. While he is fourth in the standings, his 2.75 finishing average is the best of the series regulars with four or more main event starts. In his four CLS starts in 2022, he has not finished worse than fourth with two runner-up finishes, a third, and a fourth. His two starts with the CLS at Bakersfield produced the third and fourth-place results. When Dyer, who resides in Yucca Valley, California, hits the track in the Cal Smith/Dyer Motorsports #39 on the USAC/CRA side of Saturday's program, he will be 22nd in series points. His last outing came at the Mohave Valley Raceway on April 23rd. In that race, he was running a new engine that came out of Missouri. However, he lost his brakes in the B Main and was done for the night. Fans who would like to attend Saturday's open-wheel show in Bakersfield can find the track at 5001 N. Chester Ext., in Bakersfield (93308). The track website is http://www.bakersfieldspeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (661) 393-3373. The pit gate will open at 2:00 p.m., spectator gates at 4:00, and racing will start at 6:00. Adult tickets are $20.00. Seniors and military get in for $18.00. For kids 6-12 it is $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. As usual, Dyer is not the only member of the family racing on Saturday. His teenage son Seth will be back in action at John Aden's Wheel2Wheel Raceway on the San Bernardino County Fairgrounds in Victorville. Racing a Speedway Sprint Car, Seth enters Saturday's event fifth in the restrictor class standings. If you wish to catch Seth in action at Wheel2Wheel, the track is located on the San Bernardino County Fairgrounds at 14800 Seventh Street in Victorville (92395). Gates will open at 5:00 p.m. and racing will follow at 6:00. The website for W2W is http://wheel2wheelraceway.com/ and the phone number is (760) 247-3987. Dyer is racing in memory of his grandfather Glenn Sels throughout the 2022 season. He has contested four of the first eight series races this year and has a best finish of 13th at Perris Auto Speedway on March 26th. Dyer would like to thank the following for making the 2022 season possible in the #4 Lightning Sprint Car. Dependable Machine Inc., Haircuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, LBA Investigations, and Dyer Motorsports.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: POWRi Midget champ Wiedeman eager for Open Wheel Showdown
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 11, 2022) - Bryant Wiedeman is about to wrap up his sophomore year at Colby High School in western Kansas and that means his focus can shift full-on to his racing endeavors on dirt tracks across the country. Being a race-car driver definitely is an attention-getter among friends and fellow students. "I think they're really proud and enjoy keeping up with my racing," Wiedeman said. "It's cool they care that much and want to watch and see how I grow in the sport." The 16-year-old Wiedeman definitely is an up-and-comer in the world of open-wheel racing, as the reigning Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget Series champion. He will be at Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday for the 11th annual Impact Signs Awnings Wraps Open Wheel Showdown. In addition to the POWRi Midgets, the tripleheader of action will include the ASCS Warrior Region Presented by Impact Signs Awnings Wraps and the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Sooner Region Presented by Smiley's Racing Products, plus the POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Sprints. "I'm really excited to go back there," Wiedeman said of Lucas Oil Speedway, where he finished third in this race a year ago, his first action on the Wheatland oval. "I recall it being a pretty technical track, opposite on both ends. One was top and the other bottom and it was very challenging, but definitely a fun track to race at. "Last year was a learning curve for most places I went. This being my second year, I have a better chance at a lot of these tracks because I've been there and know how to get around them now. I think it'll definitely help me out this weekend." Unlike many young drivers, Wiedeman did not grow up in a racing family. He's a first-generation racer who started racing go-karts at the ago of six after he and dad Brent were invited to a go-kart race by friends. "I think we both fell in love with it and it went from there," Bryant said. "We bought a go-kart and really enjoyed that, moved up to the micros and (eventually) found myself racing a Keith Kunz Midget." For those not familiar with Midget cars, Keith Kunz Motorsports is one of the iconic teams in the sport. Kunz has been instrumental in the development of many of the sport's stars, including Kyle Larson and Christopher Bell. Bryant Wiedeman said the knowledge that Kunz and other team members impart is priceless to a young driver. "It's a good thing to have on my side," he said. "That's a big deal and a leg up I have on the competition." Wiedeman won more than 100 races in seven years in go-karts and moved into the micro-sprints where he caught the attention of Kunz. In his first full season for KKM in 2021, Wiedeman said he exceeded expectations as a POWRi National Midget rookie, becoming the youngest national champion. He posted three wins, 18 top-five finishes and 28 top-10s in 30 events. "I was just going into the year looking for Rookie of the Year championships," Wiedeman said. "But winning POWRi was a huge deal to me and my team. We're definitely looking to progress off that this year and looking forward to seeing how we can perform in USAC points as well." Joining Wiedeman at Wheatland will be fellow KKM drivers Brenham Crouch, Mariah Ede and Gavin Miller. Early in the POWRi National Midget Series, Wiedeman holds a 10-point lead over Cannon McIntosh of Bixby, Oklahoma. Emerson Axsom won the Open Wheel Showdown race in 2021. Pit and spectator gates open at 4 p.m. Saturday with hot laps at 6 and racing at 7:05.

- AFTER FIRE McWILLIAMS RETURNS TO ACTION AT PERRIS ON SATURDAY
(Perris, CA, May 10, 2022) Generally speaking, racecar drivers are a very brave group. Hitting a wall head-on, flipping end over end, or getting in a crash at over 100 MPH is part of their job and does not seem to faze them. However, if there is one thing that can scare the bravest of the lot, it is fire. Look around at a local watering hole when The Doors "Light My Fire" is played on the jukebox. You can instantly tell the racers in the joint by the look of fear in their eyes. The latest SoCal competitor to get caressed by flames is IMCA Sport Compact driver Ken McWilliams. 278016531_7842503519100535_1087408825964817774_n.jpg Ken McWilliams and his car before the fire two weeks ago. Rookie Ava Laney is on the outside. Kenny Lonnghren photo. Menifee, California-based McWilliams is trying to win the IMCA Sport Compact California State title this year. He had his encounter with an inferno two weeks ago at the Barona Speedway. It was during a caution flag period in his preliminary heat race. A factory fuel line blew out and sprayed gasoline on the hot exhaust. The result was an instant "carbeque" that for the first few moments featured McWilliams as the stuffing. "My feet and legs started getting hot," McWilliams said with a laugh while explaining what happened on Monday. "I looked down and there were flames shooting up as high as my steering wheel. By the time the race director said, 'there is a fire' (in the driver's headset), I was getting out of the car, but it was still rolling, so I got back in and stopped it." 279742326_10166417003600046_7098713738830162695_n.jpg Ken McWilliams car after the fire. McWilliams's description of the situation sounds like everything was cool and calm during the blaze. When digging a bit deeper, he did let on that it was a definite attention-getter. "At first it was intense until I realized I was not on fire," McWilliams said when asked if he was scared. "It caught on fire quickly. I was getting out and I looked to see if my feet or hands were on fire. When they were not, that is when I got back in, stopped the car from rolling, and got back out." The track fire crew was quickly headed to the scene, but before it got there, the flames that were seeping into the cockpit, had engulfed the entire engine compartment. While McWilliams escaped unscathed, the same cannot be said for the car. It was toast! That sent Williams into plan "B" for this week's race at Perris Auto Speedway. "I have another car we brought out the first night at Barona and we had some issues," McWilliams told Britney Sandoval during an interview on Sunday's "Racer Radio Show." "We are at the shop trying to figure out what it is (the issue). Hopefully, we will figure it out and have it out at Perris and continue fighting for points. If not, I will see if I can borrow a car from someone." McWilliams's mother and father both raced at legendary Ascot Park in Gardena, so he was raised with racing in his blood. Since he first started competing in the original Perris Hornet class nearly 20-years ago, he has raced Street Stocks, Figure 8 Cars, Figure 8 Trailer Races, and Democross. This year he is racing the IMCA Sport Compact class which is in its first year at his home track, Perris Auto Speedway. "We started out the season racing some races in Arizona just to kind of get back into the swing of things," the second-generation racer continued. "I wanted to race for the IMCA Sport Compact state points championship last year, but I had a couple prior commitments. So this year, that is our goal. We race at Ventura, Barona, and Perris. We are pretty much just going to stick around those tracks." "It is a very affordable class," the driver who just sold his weightlifting gym in Murrieta continued. "We are very low budget. People do not understand. I had (in the car that burned) a $300.00 motor from the junkyard. That car never finished farther back than third place unless it broke." As he is chasing the state points, the fire that happened during his heat race could have been costly, but fellow PAS competitor Andrew Schmitz was also racing at Barona that night. As he is not racing for points, Schmitz offered his car to McWilliams to race in the main event. "He is a nice dude," McWilliams said of Schmitz. "He let me jump into his car and I cannot thank him enough." Going into this weekend's race at The PAS, the veteran driver who may have a new nickname - "Fireball" - has a win and a third in the IMCA Sport Compacts at The PAS in 2022. He is tied for the track point lead with first-year PAS driver Edward Finger of Murrieta. Rookie Ava Laney of Huntington Beach is third and is only four points behind the leaders. In addition, McWilliams is currently the leader in the California/IMCA Sport Compact point standings. Joining the sport compacts on Saturday will be the PASSCAR Super Stocks, PASSCAR Street Stocks/IMCA Stock Cars, and the American Factory Stocks. During intermission, the fans will be allowed onto the track to meet all of the drivers who will be signing autographs and passing out free candy to all the children in attendance. Adult tickets for Saturday's race are $20.00. For kids 6 to 12 it is just $5.00 and children 5 and under are admitted free. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM and the first race will begin at 7:00.

- CHIARAMONTE GETS SECOND AT BARONA AND MAINTAINS SWLS POINT LEAD
(El Cajon, CA, May 7, 2022) The Lucas Oil POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series visited its home track, the Barona Speedway, on April 30th and rising local star Braden Chiaramonte placed second in the 20-lap main. That finish allowed him to maintain his lofty spot on top of the championship point standings. Chiaramonte, a 15-year-old from nearby El Cajon, California, drove his white #73 to a second-place finish in his heat at his first Barona appearance in more than six months. For the start of the 20 lap A main, Chiaramonte was on the outside of row three. The high school student was in fourth place for most of the first half of the race. However, for a lap nine restart, he was third and he manned that spot for several laps and two more yellow flag periods. When the final yellow of the race waved with four laps to go, the talented young driver was about to bring the spectators out of their seats. On the previous restart, Chiaramonte bravely split the two lappers who were between himself and the two lead cars. For the last restart, no lappers were stuck between him and his prey. The two leaders began to race side by side for the top spot going into turn three. In doing so they left the bottom of the track open as they sped off four. Possessing senses like a long-time veteran, Chiaramonte realized the situation presented to him and quickly pounced. He pulled even with the leaders as they exited the fourth corner and slid into the lead coming off turn two the next lap. He maintained the top spot until turn four when his fellow teen competitor found the drive on the outside and launched back into the lead. Chiaramonte attempted to race back into the point position, but in the end, he had to settle for second. Coming into the race at Barona, Chiaramonte had a two-point lead in the SWLS championship point standings. His second-place result allowed him to extend that lead to 15-points. However, the point lead - at least for the time being - will be lost next week. While the SWLS will be competing again at Barona, Chiaramonte will be at Indiana's US 24 Speedway in a Hyper house car at the "All In Transportation A Wingless Clash." The three-night affair in the Hoosier State will take place from May 12th through the 14th. The track will also host a practice session on May 11th. Thus far in 2022, Chiaramonte has started six races and yet, he has not finished out of the top 10. Included on his ledger sheet are one win and two second-place finishes. Chiaramonte would like to thank the following marketing partners for making his 2022 racing season possible. RTL Traffic Control and Equipment Rentals, AM Ortega, Impact Racing, and AIM Sports Data.

Behind him, Streeter, who was in search of two wins in a row, raced for second with Brad Smith. Later, a string of early race cautions left Turner to fend off the restart challenges from Streeter, Smith, and Cole Campbell. Once the drivers settled in past the halfway point, Turner set a blistering pace at the front of the field and went unchallenged for his second career CMS victory. Behind him, Smith advanced from fifth on the starting grid to claim a hard-fought runner-up finish just ahead of Streeter. Colson Kirk was steady, climbing from seventh to finish fourth while Terry Schultz also moved forward from tenth to claim fifth. Jeremy Lile rounded out the top six finishers.

By the next circuit last year's POWRi Super Stock National Champion, Poe, took command of the race with Marc Carter and Ted Welschmeyer close. By lap eight, it was a three-car breakaway with Poe leading Carter and Welschmeyer. A series of cautions slowed the midway point of the race through lap 15, but Poe fought off all challenges for the lead from second and third on the restarts. A late caution slowed the race one final time setting up a two-lap dash to the finish with Poe in command. At the checkers, it was Poe who collected his nineteenth career CMS win, this coming ahead of Carter and Welschmeyer. Fourteenth-starting Larry Ferris advanced 10 positions to finish fourth, Bobby Ruff was fifth, followed by Blaine Ewing. Lighting Sprints - 10 Entries A Feature - 15 Laps 1. 22-Chase Fischer[2]; 2.

Chastity Younger was strong throughout the race and held steady in third ahead of Tyler Johnson. At lap 13, Fischer was just behind the leader pressuring and by the white flag lap, took advantage of a slight opening in between turns one and two to move to the front. Fischer went on to claim the victory over Brown, Younger, with Bobby Layne in fourth after starting tenth, Johnson fifth, as Mark Billings rounded out the top six.

Behind him, was a furious battle for second between Bobby Russell, Spencer Reiff, and last week's winner, Leroy Morrison. A series of cautions slowed the race three times by lap 10, but after that it was a thriller to the end as Ryun worked to hold on to the lead. Morrison advanced to third by lap 14 and one lap later took second behind Ryun leaving Russell and Reiff to battle for third. In the closing stages, Morrison pulled to within distance of Ryun but on this night, Ryun was too strong and collected his thirty-first career CMS victory. Morrison finished second in front of Reiff, Russell, David Doelz, and Jerett Evans.

- Jackson's late pass sends six-time Lucas Oil Speedway track champ to USRA B-Mod feature win
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 7, 2022) - Kris Jackson of Lebanon overhauled Jon Sheets with six laps remaining and pulled away from there to capture Lucas Oil Speedway's spotlight feature Saturday night in the Big RV Weekly Racing Series program. Jackson, a six-time track champion, beat Sheets by two seconds to earn the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod win and earn the $750 prize courtesy of Clearlight Inn. A total of 130 cars in five divisions checked into the pits as Vietti Marketing Group and Wild Animal Safari presented Round 2 of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series. Other feature winners were Cole Henson (Hermitage Lumber Late Models), Dillon McCowan (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds), Dean Wille (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars) and Derek Brown in the Pure Stock guest class. Sheets started up front in the B-Mod main event and set the pace through 19 laps, as the race had a long green-flag run after two early cautions. As Jackson gave chase through lapped traffic, he began to close on the leader and finally, in turn two as Sheets slid a bit high, Jackson made the decisive pass. Jackson pulled away from there to pick up his second Lucas Oil Speedway victory of 2022 and ninth overall this season. Ryan Gillmore finished third with Tyler Kidwell in fourth and Andy Bryant fifth. Henson rolls to Late Model triumph: Cole Henson of Russellville dominated in the Hermitage Lumber Late Models, leading all 20 laps to earn his first feature victory of the season. Henson finished 1.3 seconds in front of Larry Ferris, reversing the outcome from the previous week which was the season opener for the Late Models. "We were scratching our head about this track because it was totally different than last week," Henson said. "We were pretty bummed, starting on the pole and we found our problem after we got home. A simple mistake, but I was glad to see Larry get the win. "To come out here tonight and get back here and run good, get back to victory lane, I couldn't ask for anything more." Henson started on the pole after claiming a heat-race win and set a blistering pace, sprinting away from outside front-row starter Joe Walkenhorst at the start. Henson led Walkenhorst by 3.6 seconds by lap 11 with Cox in third when the race's first caution came out. The two-time defending track champion checked out again as the race resumed and remained green the rest of the way. Henson finished comfortably ahead of the onrushing Ferris - who started ninth - with Cox winding up third, Michael Maggard fourth and JC Morton fifth after starting 16th. McCowan takes third USRA Mod win of season: Defending track champ Dillon McCowan made it three feature victories in four attempts this season, as the Urbana driver led all 20 laps in the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature. McCowan had to endure several late cautions that forced multiple restarts. "After the start we had this year, it's really nice to be able to come back ot the home track and be really good," McCowan said, noting a rough out-of-state stretch earlier in the season. McCowan started up front and wasted little time taking command, opening a 1.3-second led just two laps into the event and midway through the 20-lapper he was 4.1 seconds clear of second-place Andy Bryant. The defending track champ was 4.3 seconds ahead of Ryan Middaugh when the rest of the field received a bit of hope when a caution flew on lap 12. Another caution on lap 16 took away a two-second lead McCowan had built and forced another restart - or actually three attempts at a restart before a lap could be completed. It wound up no problem for McCowan. The 18-year-old's patience was rewarded as the race finally went and stayed green and he beat Middaugh by half a straightaway for the win. Dustin Hodges rallied from 10th to finish third, Andy Bryant was fourth and Nic Bidinger fifth. Wille captures USRA Stock Cars win: Dean Wille of Warrensburg picked up his first O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature, taking over the lead on lap seven and outdistancing runner-up Mason Beck. Johnny Fennewald, a former Lucas Oil Speedway weekly series Late Model champ, led the opening six laps of the feature. Willie made a pass out of turn four on lap seven to take command and stretched it out from there. Beck, who started on the front row alongside Fennewald, finished second one second behind the winner. Bryan White was third with Doug Keller fourth and Scott Johnson in fifth. Fennewald pulled to the infield with mechanical issues on lap 16. Brown makes up ground in Pure Stocks win: Derek Brown of Stoutland wasted little time rallying from deep in the field to earn the Pure Stock feature win as the class made a special guest appearance. Brown started 16th and passed six cars on the opening lap and was up to third by lap five. He took over the lead on lap nine, going past Bradley McDowell. Mechanical problems eliminated McDowell, who was running second, on lap 13 as a caution flew for an incident on the other end of the track. Brown, a former track champion in Street Stocks who now competes in the USRA Stock Car division, maintained command from there. Brown beat Robert High by about 10 car lengths with Greg Dykstra third, C.J. Turner fourth and Conrad Kauffman fifth.

- GRANT SEXTON GETS HIS FIRST SWLS MAIN EVENT WIN OF 2022 AT BARONA
(Lakeside, CA, MAY 4, 2022) 2021 Lucas Oil POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion Grant Sexton picked up his first series win of 2022 when he outdistanced the main event field last Saturday night at the Barona Speedway. The teen's victory gave the SWLS four different winners in the first four races of the year. Sexton, a 17-year-old high school student who resides in nearby Lakeside, opened the night by leading all the way to win the first heat race over Lake Elsinore's Jeremy Queener and Alpine's Peter Benker. Parker Dumas of San Diego, who was making his 2022 debut, nabbed the win in heat two. He was chased home by Alpine's Matt Sotomayor and San Diego's David Bezio. The third heat went to Lakeside's Dalton Sexton. Point leader Braden Chiaramonte of El Cajon placed second with Wyatt Boczanowski of San Diego third. The lineup for the fourth SWLS main event of 2022, saw Sotomayor and Queener on the front row. Parker Dumas and Brent Sexton were in row two with Dalton Sexton and Chiaramonte in row three. Queener won the battle to turn one at the start of the 20-lap race and was chased by Sotomayor and Grant Sexton. Sexton drove his white and pink Sexton Fire Protection/BK Wings/Troy Dirt/Victory Graphix/Swift Powdercoat/Maxima Oil/Infiniti Shocks/Scotty and Jimmy Keys #3 into second by the end of the opening circuit and then set his sights on Queener. Queener continued to inch away from the pack until he caught up to lapped traffic in turn one on lap seven. Exiting the second corner, the leader used up the little bit of room a pair of side-by-side lappers left him on the wide line and continued to set the pace. Sexton got by the two lappers going into turn three and continued his pursuit of the leader. The first yellow flag of the race came out on lap nine when Sotomayor lost a left rear wheel. The race only went five more laps before the second yellow flew when Bezio slowed on the front straightaway. That caution set up a thrilling lap 15. It started with Queener at the point, but he was quickly passed on the inside by Sexton. What happened next sent the crowd into a frenzy. As they came off turn four, Sexton went wide. Queener quickly seized the opportunity and ducked to the new leaders inside. Chiaramonte then went inside both and took the top spot going into turn one. As they slid off turn two on the 16th go around, the two teenagers were side by side as they battled for the lead. They remained that way going into turn three, but as they came off turn four, Sexton got a great drive off the cushion and rocketed back into the lead. From that point on, the youngest member of the Sexton racing clan pulled away and won his first SWLS main of the year with room to spare. Chiaramonte came across the line second and was followed by Queener, Brent Sexton, and Dalton Sexton. Brent Sexton's tenth to fifth run in the main event made him the race "Hard Charger." Chiaramonte sits on top of the SWLS point standings with a 15-point advantage over Dalton Sexton. Brent Sexton is third, a mere nine points behind his oldest son. Bezio dropped back to fourth and Queener rounds out the top five. The SWLS will take the wings off and return to the Barona Speedway on Saturday The Lucas Oil POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series would like to thank the Sexton Fire Protection, RTL Traffic Control & Equipment, Victory Graphix, BK Wing, and A.M.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Kansas teen Walburn ready for more after impressive Wheatland B-Mod debut
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 4, 2022) - Krew Walburn's first appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway was an impressive one. The 19-year-old from Emporia, Kansas, ran third in the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature behind a pair of former USRA national champions, Andy Bryant and Kris Jackson. "The competition there is stiff," Walburn said this week. "When you go there, you're literally running with the best of the best in the B-Mod class. That's what I told my dad I wanted to do. I wanted to see how we are running with the big dogs." Walburn plans a return visit this Saturday as the B-Mods are the featured class, running a 25-lap main event for $750 to win courtesy of Clearlight Inn. Vietti Marketing Group and Wild Animal Safari team up to present Round 2 of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series with all Moms admitted free to commemorate Mother's Day weekend, courtesy of Vietti Marketing Group. Walburn, a second-generation racer who began competing at age 11 in the Factory Stock division on Kansas dirt tracks, hopes to be in contention again this weekend. He said the team learned some things in their first trip to Wheatland with the B-Mod. "The track has some character," Walburn said. "We didn't expect it to slick off like it did, real fast, in the heat races. They tilled it up before the feature, which was fine. We could have done a few more things to get the car better." Walburn followed in the footsteps of his dad, Brian Walburn who drove Modifieds during his racing days. Krew moved from Factory Stocks into a Midwest Mod and wound up driving both divisions the same season as Humboldt Speedway. "It went pretty well and we finished second in points (Midwest Mod) and third in points with the Factory Stock," Walburn said, noting his goals this season are to win Rookie of the Year honors at Humboldt and finish as high as possible in USRA B-Mod national points. The large B-Mod car counts at Lucas Oil Speedway should help his cause in the national points. Last week, he drove from 10th to fourth in his heat race, which gave him enough passing points to earn a good starting position for the feature. "The A Mod competition is pretty stiff, but it seems us B-Mod guys bring more of a car count now unless it's a big USMTS event," Walburn said. "I'd like to crack the top five in national points. That would be a good accomplishment." With five top-five runs already to his credit at various tracks this year, Walburn is making a name for himself. And speaking of names, what about his unique one of Krew? "It is kind of a unique first name," he said. "When I went to the Wild West Shootout two years ago in Arizona, one of my sponsors, he started calling me 'Krewster.' After that, a lot of people have been calling me that." "Krewster" attends Flint Hills Technical College and works for his dad's roofing business, keeping his schedule busy. He wouldn't mind following in the footsteps of Emporia's biggest racing name. That's Clint Bowyer, who Krew has gotten to know over the years. Flint Hills Towing, owned by Bowyer's dad Chris, is one of Krew's B-Mod sponsors along with Clint Bowyer Racing. "Clint says work hard for what you want to go after. He's an amazing role model," Walburn said. "He made it from dirt racing here in Emporia and took it to the next level. He's been really supportive." Other sponsors include Walburn's Roofing, Hodges Farms and Dredging, Murphy Agra, Cadillac Style Trucking, Charlie's Place, Journey's INC, Snap-On Tools and Kris Jackson at J2 Race Cars. "They feel like family to me," Walburn said of Jackson, the six-time Lucas Oil Speedway track champion, and the J2 team. The Hermitage Lumber Late Models, Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds and the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars also will be in action Saturday night and Pure Stocks will be on the program as a special guest class, running for $300 to win. It's part of a big day-night racing doubleheader coming to Lucas Oil Speedway as during the day, the first of four UTV Short Course Off-Road Racing program on the speedway's Off Road course is scheduled. Spectator gates at Off Road will open at 9 a.m. with practice at 10 a.m. and heat races starting at noon on the off road track.

Other event dates are scheduled on July 23rd, August 20th and October 15th. Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said points will be earned at each event in each class with champions crowned after the Oct. 15 event.

- MATTHEW HICKS WINS $1,000 IMCA MODIFIED MAIN EVENT AT PERRIS
(Perris, CA, May 1, 2022) It was a night to be named "Matt" if you were racing at Perris Auto Speedway on Saturday night. Moments after Matt Mitchell won the USAC/CRA main event, Santee, California's Matthew Hicks drove from eighth place to score a convincing victory in the $1,000.00 to win 20 lap IMCA Modified main. The race saw the Modifieds teaming up with sprint cars for the first time in years at the track and they were well received by the sprint car fans on hand. 279701269_5005809702788725_4321039767926497275_n.jpg Matt Hicks and his crew after his victory in the $1,000.00 to win IMCA Modified main event at Perris Auto Speedway. Doug Allen photo. Popular local Alyssa Smith of Norco started on the pole for the 20-lapper with multi-time PAS winner Justin Dunn of Riverside alongside. Smith immediately jumped into the lead when starter Steve Russell waved the green flag to begin the main event. Dunn, 2007 track modified champion Randy Thornell of Apple Valley, Dustin Stanley of Lakeside, and Ramona's Kyle Morris all pursued the "Hot Rod Blonde" into turn one. Smith had built up a quarter straightaway lead when the race was slowed on lap 5 when Lake Elsinore's Anthony Merritt stopped in turn one. Once the green flag signaled a return to racing, Smith was being chased by Dunn, Stanley, Thornell, and New River, Arizona's Brenda Kirby. At that time, Hicks had only advanced one position to seventh from his eighth starting spot. However, things changed quickly as Hicks, in his Lyle Hunter Tax Service/Klaw Inc #28, passed three cars on lap five to move up to fourth. As Smith was starting to pull away again, fans were starting to notice Hicks. He was having little trouble moving forward, and his car was not only fast, but it was working wherever he placed it on the track. He used an inside move to pass Stanley on lap six. One lap later he went to the extreme outside, got a fantastic run off the turn two cushion, and took the second spot away from Dunn. That left him with only one car to pass and that was Smith who had built up a half straightaway lead again. Three laps after securing second, Hicks had caught up to the race-long leader. Coming off turn two on lap 10, he peeked to the outside of Smith, but she beat him back to the stripe. The persistent Hicks dove to the inside and threw a slider that allowed him to slip past her for the lead going into turn one. However, the Pediatric Dental Assistant quickly crossed back underneath Hicks and reclaimed the lead as they exited turn two. One lap later, Hicks used an inside move coming off turn two and took the lead back. From that point on, he moved away. With Hicks securing the lead, many redirected their attention to the war that had been raging for third all race long. Kirby went from fifth to third on lap 13, but three laps later she slowed on the back straight with a problem and returned to the pits. A late-race yellow with three laps to go only intensified the battle for third. Over the final three circuits, Dunn, Thornell, Morris, and Kiefer duked it out for the spot and at one time went four-wide coming off turn two. On the next to Last lap, Kiefer entered turn one in sixth. Much to the excitement of the crowd, by the time he arrived in turn three he had advanced to third! When the checkers ended the night of racing, Hicks crossed the line nearly a half straight in front of Smith. The third spot went to Kiefer, Smith's boyfriend, with Thornell fourth and Morris fifth. "I have to thank my dad first," Hicks told the appreciative crowd after the race. "He put in a lot of work this offseason doing research. We picked this car up from Victory Circle. We made a couple changes for how I like to drive, and this thing came alive. It was just a rocket ship tonight." "Perris Auto Speedway, you put on a rad track tonight," Hicks continued. "This is the best track we have had for the modifieds. Those Sprint cars make a rad track for us to race on." In the companion, PAS Senior Sprint Car main event, Seligman, Arizona's Richard McCormick scored a convincing win for his second PAS victory in two starts in 2022. Apple Valley's Stevie Rogers collected the first place trophy for the second time in a row in the PAS Young Guns. IMCA Modified Main Event (with starting positions) 1.

- Ferris wires Late Model field to capture Lucas Oil Speedway's Weekly Racing Series Spring Opener
WHEATLAND, MO. (April 30, 2022) - Larry Ferris showed his opening-night strength, leading all the way to capture the Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Ferris, of Nevada, earned $1,000 courtesy of Hickamo Country Store in the headliner of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series Spring Opener Presented by Ozarks Fox. Other feature winners were Andy Bryant (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Dillon McCowan (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds) and James McMillin (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). A total of 86 cars checked into the pits for the first weekly event of the 2022 season. Though Ferris led all 25 laps, he had to protect his lead through five restarts - including one with two laps remaining after a red flag halted the action. "I was getting tired. I was ready to be done," Ferris said in victory lane after the hard-earned victory. Ferris started third but took over the lead on the opening lap as Cole Henson, who started on the pole, slipped high in turn three. Ferris opened a 2.1-second lead over Joe Walkenhorst by lap five when the race's first caution waved. Henson worked his way around Walkenhorst into second on the restart and gave chase to the leader. Those two were nearly a straightaway ahead of third-place Todd McCoin by lap 11 as another yellow appeared when Walkenhorst spun in turn four. Ferris opened a 1.5-second lead by lap 17, but another caution wiped out that advantage and put Henson right behind Ferris with eight laps to go. Once again, Ferris handled the restart and pulled out to an eight-car-length lead and McCoin slipped past Henson for second. But the race's fourth caution, after Dalton Imhoff spun, turned it into a five-lap shootout. Ferris continued to lead McCoin and Henson as the trio headed to the white flag when fifth-running Bryon Allison took a wild ride, his car flipping multiple times down the backstretch and coming to rest on it roof to bring out the red flag. Allison, from Marshall, emerged from the car and walked away from the wreckage. The 12-minute stoppage didn't bother Ferris in the two-lap sprint to the checkered flag as Ferris prevailed by 1.78 seconds over McCoin "I just knew that if I could just stay right there in the middle of the track they were gonna have a hard time passing me," Ferris said. McCoin was disqualified in post-race technical inspection. Henson officially wound up in second with Tucker Cox third, Lane Ehlert fourth and Darrin Crisler fifth. Ferris won three features at Lucas Oil Speedway in 2021 as he wound up fourth in points. Bryant goes flag-to-flag for B-Mod win: Andy Bryant of Fort Scott, Kansas, led all 20 laps to beat reigning track champ Kris Jackson in a caution-free Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature. From the outside of row one, Bryant got the jump on pole-starting Jackson heading into turn one as the race went green. By lap six, Bryant and Jackson already were lapping cars with Krew Walburn not far behind the lead pair. "The car was a little bit tight and I think that's what helped us the first few laps," Bryant said, noting that he was able to use some extra traction to his advantage. That order did not change as Bryant weaved through slower traffic the remainder of the way. He finished three-quarters of a second in front of Jackson and Walburn a second behind the runner-up. "Lapped traffic was a mess, but I think I got through most of them pretty clean," Bryant said. "I just have to thank my crew and all our sponsors." Terry Schultz came home fourth and Ryan Gillmore was fifth. McCowan captures USRA Modified win: Dillon McCowan earned his second Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature win in three starts this season, beating Ryan Middaugh on Saturday night. Middaugh started outside of McCowan on row one and beat the pole-starter to the lead on lap one. On lap six, McCowan got a big run out of turns three and four and went to the outside to take the lead. It didn't take the defending track champ long to take command, building a 2.1-second lead by lap 12. McCowan held steady from there as the race remained green and he finished 2.6 seconds in front of Middaugh. "The track was really fast tonight," McCowan said. "I didn't know how it was going to be after the heat race. It was starting to take a little rubber and we tightened it up. Then they tilled it, so we had to go and change everything back. "I'd like to thank my Dad (Charlie). He stayed in the shop this week while I was gone, worked on it and got it ready." Dustin Hodges finished third with Matt Johnson fourth and Darren Shaw fifth. Close USRA Stock Car finish goes to McMillin: The closest finish of the night came in the final feature as James McMillin of Warrensburg held off Doug Keller by a quarter-second to take the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars main event. "It's a lot of fun racing with these guys. They race you clean and you can race hard," McMillin said. McMillin worked the high side out of turn four and took over the lead from Keller at the start-finish line by inches to complete lap 10. Those two dueled it out, never separated by more than two car lengths with McMillin maintaining the lead, until a caution flew on lap 17 as Bryan White lost a tire and came to rest on the backstretch. The ensuing three-lap shootout saw McMillin, on the outside, hanging on by a half car-length. The two made contact at the finish line and Keller slid to the infield in second. Mason Beck wound up third, Dean Wille was fourth and Rodney Schweitzer fifth. "I tried to protect the bottom on the restart to at least get out front," McMillin said. "It was way bottom in (turns) three and four than it was in one and two, up on top. I made it work, I guess."

- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: After MLRA education, Imhoff ready for Weekly Series Late Model campaign
WHEATLAND, MO. (April 27, 2022) - You see it in sports all the time, where teams play a strong out-of-conference schedule to both challenge themselves and toughen them up for regular-season play. Dalton Imhoff took this path last weekend. Even though the young Late Model driver from Jamestown knew the chance of actually beating the Lucas Oil MLRA Late Model regulars at last weekend's 9th MLRA Spring Nationals was a longshot, it was a win-win for Imhoff. With a new Black Diamond race car to break in, Imhoff got some valuable experience that could greatly benefit him as Lucas Oil Speedway's Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series gets rolling this Saturday. "You've got to be on your 'A' game with those guys," Imhoff said. "If you're off any little bit, you're off the pace." Imhoff didn't make the A Feature on Night One, but raced his way into the main event on Saturday. He finished 18th, which alone is no reason to throw a celebration, but the seat time against that quality of competition was priceless for the 25-year-old. "It was pretty awesome," Imhoff said. "It was our first race with our new car. Besides practice day, it was good to show up and not have any problems, to be able to jump right in and be fast with those guys." Next up is the Hermitage Lumber Late Model opener on Saturday night, which pays $1,000 to win courtesy of Hickamo Country Store. The Cedar Creek Beef Jerky Modifieds, Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars also will be in action as Ozarks Fox Presents the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series Spring Opener. Imhoff is set to begin his second full season of driving a Late Model after taking over the ride from his dad, Walt Imhoff, midway through the 2020 season. Dalton Imhoff had a solid 2021 season, finishing fifth in Lucas Oil Speedway points with a pair of third-place feature finishes. "We were pretty happy with the season," Imhoff said. "We were missing something on our setup, having a hard time on slick tracks mainly. We just never quite figured it out." The new Black Diamond has felt good underneath him so far with Imhoff giving credit to Ron Stuckey at Black Diamond for help on the setup. He also got to visit with Black Diamond driver and MLRA regular Garrett Alberson last weekend. "I was able to get a little feedback and information to hopefully help us out," he said. Imhoff said he also tried to soak in how the MLRA drivers maneuvered their cars and consistently hit the marks. "Just following them, learning where the fast part (of the track) is, more or less how to make a move around somebody that's as fast or faster than you," Imhoff said. "That's the biggest thing, learning how to pass when they're doing everything perfect." Dalton Imhoff started racing when he was 16 and ran a handful of Late Model shows in his dad's car. He then switched to Street Stocks and remained in that division until Walt - who now serves as crew chief - stepped away from driving two years ago due to his workload. The Imhoffs have a family farm and construction business. There's an interesting tidbit about the car number and why it changed from 69 with Walt behind the wheel to 96 with Dalton driving. "He was born in '69 and I was born in '96," Dalton Imhoff said. "So we just flopped the numbers when I went full-time in the car." Putting the 96 in victory lane for the first time at Lucas Oil Speedway is a primary goal. "My main goal is to knock that monkey off my back and win one," Dalton Imhoff said. "I'd like to be top-three in points. I don't know if we can make every race, but we're gonna try our best." Imhoff Construction and Imhoff Farm serve as primary sponsors, but Dalton said Donnie Cooper helps with parts and tires and Black Diamond's B.J. Robinson contributes setup knowledge. "Dad is the crew chief, but Russell Kueffer brings years of experience to us," Dalton Imhoff said. "He brings a wealth of knowledge to our team." Kids Power Wheel races: This week also will mark the start of Kids Power Wheel racing for youngsters ages 3-9 during intermission. The kids will race on the front straightaway during intermission, navigating a course outlined by orange cones. The youngsters can enter their own battery-powered Power Wheel cars by registering at the Frogs Jr. Fan Club on the south end of the Midway prior to the races. Other Kids Power Wheel nights are scheduled for May 21, June 18, July 30 and Aug. 27. Points will be tabulated and a mini-season-champion crowned along with the four regular Weekly Racing Series classes on Aug. 27. One Kids Power Wheel class will be the 6-12 volt cars and another will be for the 24-36 volt class. No power or speed enhancement modifications will be allowed. Kids Pit Tour: This also is the third year of the Frogs Jr Fan Club Pit Tour. Prior to each dirt-track racing program this season, flagman Mike Striegel will lead a pit tour on a large golf cart for youngsters ages 5-12 with the youngsters signing up for a drawing each week to be a part of the tour. Kids can sign up for the Frogs Jr Fan Club on the south end of the Midway prior to 5 p.m. for a chance to go on the pit tour. Piit gates and grandstands open at 4 p.m., with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. Admission: Advance discount tickets online only (16 and up) - $12 Adults (16 and up) - $15 Seniors (62 and over)/Military - $12 Youth (ages 6-15) - $5 Kids (5 and under) - FREE Family pass (click here for more information) - $35 To purchase tickets for any event on Lucas Oil Speedway's schedule, or get ticket information for the Show-Me 100 or any future event at Lucas Oil Speedway, contact Admissions Director Nichole McMillan at (417) 295-6043 or via email at nichole@lucasoilspeedway.com.

(April 26, 2022) - The Hermitage Lumber Late Model division will be in the spotlight on Saturday as the first of 11 Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series programs takes to the track at Lucas Oil Speedway. The Weekly Championship Series Spring Opener Presented by Ozarks Fox will see the Late Models going 25 laps in their feature for $1,000 to win, courtesy of Hickamo Country Store. Joining the Late Models will be the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds, Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars. This week also will mark the start of a new Kids Power Wheel initiative involving youngsters ages 3-9 during intermission. The kids will race on the front straightaway during intermission, navigating a course outlined by orange cones. "Involving the kids is something we're striving for," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "I think this is another way to spark their interest in the sport and give them a little more fun and an early taste of being involved in the sport in a safe way." The youngsters can enter their own battery-powered Power Wheel cars by signing up for the Frogs Jr. Fan Club on the south end of the Midway prior to the races. Other Kids Power Wheel nights are scheduled for May 21, June 18, July 30 and Aug. 27. Points will be tabulated and a mini-season-champion crowned along with the four regular Weekly Racing Series classes on Aug. 27. One Kids Power Wheel class will be the 6-12 volt cars and another will be for the 24-36 volt class. No power or speed enhancement modifications will be allowed. "We want to keep this fun and safe for the kids. It's free for them to race, all they need are their own cars and admission tickets," Lorton said. This also is the third year of the Frogs Jr Fan Club Pit Tour. Prior to each dirt-track racing program this season, flagman Mike Striegel will lead a pit tour on a large golf cart for youngsters ages 5-12 with the youngsters signing up for a drawing each week to be a part of the tour. Kids can sign up for the Frogs Jr Fan Club on the south end of the Midway prior to 5 p.m. for a chance to go on the pit tour.

- Looney wires field on Night Two of 9th annual MLRA Spring Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (April 23, 2022) - Payton Looney earned only one Lucas Oil MLRA Late Model Series feature win in 2021 as he ran a limited schedule. Early this season, Looney already has matched that win total. Looney, the 2020 Show-Me 100 champion from Republic, led all 40 laps Saturday night in capturing Night Two of the 9th annual Pitts Homes MLRA Spring Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway. "This place is awesome," said Looney, who took home $7,000 for the victory in which he outlasted runner-up Chad Simpson and four caution flags that only temporarily slowed his march to victory. "I love the race track and I love the people," Looney added. "I have so many fans here. Thank you guys for sticking out this little rain we had. It was an awesome race and I'm thankful for that, but racing is just for fun now. We don't chase an points. We get to race when we want to and there's no pressure, and get to do it with my wife and my kids. "It makes it a lot more special, that's for sure. Jason Papich slid underneath Looney in turn three on lap 10, but a caution flag before the lap was completed put Looney back on the point for the restart as the two front-row starters battled it out early. "I got kind of lucky on that yellow," Looney said. "Papich slid me and it was going to be hard to get back by him. It pays to be lucky sometimes, I guess." Looney had a great restart and Papich did not, with Chad Simpson moving into the runner-up position. As the race hit the midpoint, on lap 20, Looney held a three-quarter-second lead over Simpson. Looney established a 1.3-second margin over Simpson as the race was slowed by a lap-25 caution. By lap 32, Looney's lead grew to 2.2 seconds over Chad Simpson with Chris Simpson third and Logan Martin in fourth. But the march to victory was delayed with five to go as Billy Moyer Jr. spun to bring out caution No. 4. Looney was able to roll from there, finishing off his flag-to-flag dominance. Looney finished 1.3 seconds in front of Chad Simpson with Chris Simpson third, Martin fourth and Garrett Alberson fifth. Simpson cut Looney's led to under one second with three to go, as the leader encountered lapped traffic, but was unable to get closer. "Coming from where we were last night, it's a big improvement for us," Chad Simpson said, noting his 12th-place run on Night One of the Spring Nationals. "I think we have this thing where it needs to be now and we can work on trying to get that one more spot." The action was delayed for about an hour after an early evening rain shower in the middle of MLRA time trials. Night One MLRA Spring Nationals feature winner and series points leader Johnny Scott started 10th and finished 11th. Jackson captures B-Mod feature: Six-time Lucas Oil Speedway Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod champion held off Ryan Gillmore by .623 seconds to take the season opener for the division. The race was plagued by four caution flags in the first half of the event, but once the action settled, Jackson and Gillmore put on a show. Gillmore slid past for the lead on lap 13 and Jackson did the same to regain command the next time around. The Lebanon driver held on from there as Gillmore never was more than three car lengths behind. While it was Jackson's first win at Lucas Oil Speedway this season, it was his seventh overall in 2022. "I want to thank Ryan Gillmore for a heck of a race," Jackson said. "He was probably better than me there. He just gave me one little shot in the rear to let me know he didn't like me dancing all over the place. It's dirt racing. I think he would have done the exact same thing. It was a good, clean race. At least I think, any way." Tyler Kidwell finished third, Jon Sheets was fourth and Matt Dotson wound up fifth. Johnson drives to USRA Modified win: Matt Johnson turned the tables on Friday night's Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified winner Dillon McCowan, this time driving to victory over McCowan for the $1,000 prize. Johnson, of Archie, grabbed the lead from McCowan on lap 10. He stretched it from there, finishing four seconds in front after winding up a similar distance behind McCowan a night earlier. "We're glad to be here and glad to be back in victory lane," Johnson said. "I really enjoy racing with Dillon. It's nice to see the next generation of the sport coming up. I've been at this for 20-some years. He's a great kid and does a good job and I look forward to racing with him in the future." Andy Bryant wound up third with Cody Brill fourth and Jason Pursley was fifth. Bryan White rallies for USRA Stock Cars triumph: Seventh-starting Bryan White of Lebanon took over the lead on lap nine and went on to capture the 20-lap O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars main event. White battled his way past Ed Griggs, the leader through the opening nine laps. He beat Wilson Garner by half a second for the feature win. Rodney Schweitzer was third with Robert White fourth and Dominic Thyfault fifth. "This class is really fun," said White, who needed only four laps to work his way into the top five. He was able to go from third to first four laps later, going past Griggs and Burl Woods.

- Johnny Scott earns Night One feature triumph in 9th annual Pitts Homes MLRA Spring Nationals
WHEATLAND, MO. (April 22, 2022) - Johnny Scott's early season roll in the Lucas Oil MLRA Series continued Friday night as he kicked off the 9th annual Pitts Homes MLRA Spring Nationals with a wire-to-wire win. Scott, of Las Cruces, New Mexico, set fast qualifying time, won his heat race, started on the pole and led all 30 laps to capture his second MLRA feature win in three outings in 2022. The caution-free 30-lap feature clicked off in only 9 minutes, 1 second. "We kind of hit on some stuff over in Wichita (81 Speedway) and kind of have been sticking with that," Scott said. "I have to thank my brother (Stormy). Without him I wouldn't be here. He keeps me in the loop and tells me what I probably should run. "Just everybody on the car that helps us go up and down the road, I definitely appreciate it. Everybody knows how expensive this stuff is. Without the sponsors, none of this would be possible. We're on a little hot streak and hopefully we can keep it up." Scott, who earned $5,000 for the feature win, prevailed by 1.3 seconds over fast-closing Jason Papich with Stormy Scott finishing third, Chris Simpson fourth and Cole Wells fifth. Meanwhile, the Night Two portion of the 9th annual Pitts Homes MLRA Spring Nationals will start one hour earlier than scheduled Saturday due to the threat of thunderstorms moving into the area late in the evening. Pit and spectator gates will now open at open at 3 p.m. on Saturday with hot laps at 5:30 and opening ceremonies at 6:05. Johnny Scott opened a five-second lead by lap 20 of the main event and held on from there as Papich, after moving into second, mounted a late charge to cut into the final margin. "I knew he was coming," Scott said of Papich. "I was kind of bottled up. There were probably six cars right there in a bunch and there was nowhere I could go. I was just trying to hit my marks and it worked out for us." Papich said getting into second past Kolby Vandenberg was a key. "But by the time we got to him, we were out of laps," Papich said of running down the leader. Vandenbergh ran second until lap 20 when he slid high in lapped traffic and fell back to sixth, with Papich moving into second and Stormy Scott to third. Johnny Scott set fast qualifying time with a circuit of 15.248 seconds. Vandenbergh had fast time in Group 2 at 15.550. McCowan leads all the way in USRA Modifieds: The reigning Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified track champion blew away the field in his opening Lucas Oil Speedway event of 2022, leading all 20 laps for the feature win. McCowan, of Urbana, finished 5.5 seconds in front of runner-up Matt Johnson with Jason Pursley finishing third, Dustin Hodges fourth and Kevin Blackburn fifth. "The track was amazing tonight," McCowan said. It's one of the best tracks we've on all year. We've been on a lot of tracks, down south and out in New Mexico earlier in January. This is what I like to race on. This is perfect tonight." McCowan, who picked up $750 for the win, started outside of the front row and quickly sprinted to the lead. Johnson and Pursley swapped the runner-up spot the first half of the race before Johnson settled into second to stay on lap 11. Timmerman earns Show-Me Vintage Racers win: Donnie Timmerman of El Dorado Springs passed Andy Wiles after a restart with five laps to go, capturing the Show-Me Vintage Racers feature win. "I ran Late Models for years and haven't drove the last five or six years," Timmerman said. "Rodney Ashworth gave me the opportunity to drive this and it was a lot of fun. All the people who used to come and watch me came tonight and it was a lot of fun." Timmerman started 13th and worked his way into position as Wiles led most of the race. Wiles, who started eighth, took over the lead on lap three and had built a 1.8-second lead over Daniel Schmidt before a caution three laps later slowed the action. By lap 10, Wiles had pushed his lead back to two seconds over Clevenger before the second caution bunched the field. Timmerman took advantage, slipping past Wiles on lap 11 and going on to capture the win from there. Tom Charles wound up third, coming from 21st and tailback at the start.

- MLRA Spring Nationals Spotlight: Four-time series champ Phillips relishes rare 'home' weekend
WHEATLAND, MO. (April 20, 2022) - Due to the nature of scheduling and with Modified action his primary focus in recent years, Springfield's Terry Phillips doesn't race as close to home as he used to. The 2021 inductee into the Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame gets to change that this weekend when he brings his Late Model to the 9th annual Pitts Homes MLRA Spring Nationals, Friday and Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway. "It's nice. I've been off from the Modified for about a month so it's an opportunity to run the Late Model a little more and kind of get into the swing of things," Phillips said earlier this week from his Springfield race shop. The two big nights of action will see the winner of Friday's feature taking home $5,000 and Saturday's feature winner earning $7,000. Joining the MLRA Late Models on the program on Friday night will be the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds running for $750-to-win and Show-Me Vintage Racers. Night two will find the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds again in action, along with the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars and Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods. The USRA Modifieds will be chasing a $1,000-to-win payday with the USRA Stock Cars and the USRA B-Mods feature winners earning $750. Phillips, who won his fourth MLRA championship in 2017, said it's always nice to race in front of his still-large fan base and his major sponsors, including Bolivar businessman Don Babb. "Wheatland is definitely a place I need to run good at," Phillips said. "I tend of struggle there in a Late Model, but hopefully we can get it going there this weekend." In his second season of driving a Capital Race Car, Phillips feels like he has reason for optimism. In a season-opening Lucas Oil MLRA doubleheader earlier this month at 81 Speedway near Wichita, Kansas, Phillips set fast qualifying time in his group and won his heat race on night two. He was near the front of the feature when caught up in an accident. "That's probably as good as I've had my Late Model in a while," Phillips said. "The night before the car wasn't very good, but we made some changes and got the car a lot better. Maybe we can build on that." Phillips said he likes the Capital chassis because "it's a well-built car" and owner Marshall Green, despite being based in Georgia, is always a ring away and willing to help. "He communicates real well. It's like having a crew chief just a phone call away," Phillips said. "He watches the races and helps you out. There's a lot of support there." Even though much of his focus has switched to Modifieds, the four-time MLRA champion said Late Models always will be his first love. "There's nothing better than a good-working Late Model," Phillips said. "But getting it to work good is another deal. If you're one-tenth off, you're in 10th place. It's a tough deal anymore. "It seems like I can go to Wheatland and run decent, then take the same set-up back and be terrible. Maybe if I just go there and don't think about it too much, it'll come natural to me. I put too much stress on it and I run worse." Pit gates open at 4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday with hot laps at 6:30 and opening ceremonies at 7:05. Admission prices: (Friday) Adults (16 and up) - $20 Seniors (62 and up)/Military - $17 Youth (ages 6-15) - $10 Kids (5 and under) - FREE Family pass - $50 Pit pass - $35 (Saturday) Adults (16 and up) - $25 Seniors (62 and up)/Military - $22 Youth (ages 6-15) - $10 Kids (5 and under) - FREE Family pass - $60 Pit pass - $40 This weekend will be for track points and USRA national points for the Modifieds, B-Mods and Stock Cars.

- Carthage driver Goodman takes over late to capture Enduro Easter Bowl 150 at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (April 16, 2022) - As its name would suggest, Enduro races reward those who successfully endure the marathon nature of the unique-style event. Clay Goodman of Carthage outlasted 36 others Saturday night in the inaugural Enduro Easter Bowl 150 at Lucas Oil Speedway, coming home two laps in front of runner-up Troy Mitchell in the 150-lap feature. "I'll get to keep that one forever," Goodman said in victory lane, after becoming the first winner of an Enduro race at Lucas Oil Speedway. Goodman, who started 18th, earned $1,500 for the victory in the first racing event of the 2022 Lucas Oil Speedway season. Predictably wild, 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. Mitchell, of Henley, Missouri, was a distant second and Jeremy Wilson of Humboldt, Kansas, wound up third after starting 33rd. Butch Knox of Sedalia was fourth and Scott Lampe of Fair Grove - who led a race-high 77 laps - wound up fifth. Lampe had taken over the lead on lap 83 when Sims Nick spun after encountering a lapped car, appeared to have things going his way. But Lampe, who had Goodman a lap down, began to slow on lap 127 with steering issues. Twice Lampe's car failed to corner properly in turn one and Goodman was able to take advantage and drive past on lap 133. He drove away from there to prevail. "I really appreciate everybody that helped me out on this," Goodman said. "It feels pretty good. I didn't expect this to happen. I'm pretty happy." In victory lane, Goodman also mentioned that the car had all Lucas Oil products in it from transmission to engine. He said the car had been sitting for six years prior to him purchasing it for this event. Lampe drove into the lead on lap 83 as Sims Nick headed to the pits to change a flat tire. Sims returned, but three laps down, and Lampe soon had the entire field a lap down. The race's lone red flag flew on lap 89 as Sean Steward rolled his car on the backstretch. He was able to drive it to the infield and the race resumed after a brief delay. As the 37-car field took the green from a standing, three-wide start it was Kevin Perkins leading the opening lap and Butch Knox lap two. Derek Lampe took command on lap three and held it until pulling into the pits with smoke pouring from underneath on lap 23 with Scott Lampe assuming the top spot.

- Ozarks Racers Hall of Famer Sharp looks forward to Lucas Oil Speedway's Enduro Easter Bowl 150
WHEATLAND, MO. (April 13, 2022) - The inaugural Enduro Easter Bowl 150 will bring several new drivers to Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday night to chase the $1,500 first prize in the 150-lap main event. Rick Sharp, who's done just about everything in 50 years of racing on Ozarks-area ovals, saw it as the perfect opportunity to have some fun while knocking off a bucket-list item. "I'm doing this because it's my last year to race," Sharp said. "I've never ran at that track. I was running asphalt when it opened. I thought, 'Well, I have this car we've been running at Bolivar … let's take it and make it into an Enduro car. "I'll go out and see if I can last 150 laps." Opening ceremonies begin at 6:30 p.m. with the Enduro marathon to follow. An Open Test and Tune for anyone other than Enduro cars is set for 4-6 p.m. Pit gates will open at 2 p.m. and grandstands at 4. Sharp, of Fair Grove, is a member of the Ozarks Area Racers Foundation Hall of Fame in the Legends category. He made his mark on paved tracks since the late 1980s, but is not a stranger to dirt. Sharp recalled his first race back in 1972 at the old Bolivar Speedway dirt track. He started the feature on the outside of row one with Roger Chism, a well-known dirt contender, right behind him. "Roger asked me, 'Sharp, what are you gonna do when they drop the green flag?' I said, 'Roger, I'm gonna get up next to the wall and let all you guys go by so I won't be in the way.' He said that would be a good idea. "But I didn't run asphalt regularly until 1989. I can relate back to when we were running good on dirt, especially one summer. The top four were (Dale) Roper, (Rex) Merritt, (Earl) Muilenburg and me, in various orders. I didn't win, but I stayed in the top four. It was a lot of fun." Sharp does have experience preparing cars for Enduro races, at least a couple of times over the years for his son, Riley and friend Pee Wee Roper. He said endurance and consistency will be more important than speed in this type of race. Action will begin from a three-wide, standing start on the front stretch. The race will only be stopped if the track is blocked or a driver is in danger, meaning non-stop action at any given moment. "Everybody is all jazzed up to start and anxious to go," Sharp said. "I'd like to try to keep from being put a lap down early, as I start back in (26th). You don't know. The guy who laps you twice might not even finish the race. You just have to try to run consistent laps." Fans are encouraged to come out earlier for an Open Test and Tune session from 4-6 p.m. Competitors in each of the four Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series classes - Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds, Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods, O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars and Hermitage Lumber Late Models - plus any others from the region are invited to participate. Lucas Oil Speedway also will be holding an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids from 5-5:30 p.m. Youngsters can sign up at the Frogs Jr Fan Club Table on the midway before 5. The Easter Bunny also will be visiting the kids. Entries remain open for the inaugural Enduro Easter Bowl 150 with entry fee $150.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: Griggs gears up for another run in USRA Stock Cars
WHEATLAND, MO. (April 7, 2022) - When it comes to variety, Ed Griggs' resume probably stands above most other Lucas Oil Speedway drivers. Since beginning his racing career in 1993, Griggs has driven about every type of car on dirt imaginable. "Late Models, Modifieds, Stock Cars, Dwarf Cars, Mini Sprints and Micro Sprints. I've raced all of those over the years," Griggs said. "And this year, I'm going to race a non-winged Sprint for the first time." But Griggs' primary focus in 2022 again will be the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars at Lucas Oil Speedway, which he debuted in a year ago. The Pleasant Hill driver wound up sixth in track points with a pair of second-place feature finishes among six top-five runs. Most of the strong runs came in the final few weeks of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series season. "It was really good," Griggs said of his first season in the USRA Stock Cars. "I had never driven a Stock Car before last year so it was kind of a learning curve. We missed some shows at the beginning of year, otherwise we would have had a lot better points position. "We learned a lot. The class is stepping up this year, so that's what we plan to do also with the new car. I don't know if we're gonna step up enough or not, but we'll see." Griggs said getting seat time led to a strong second half of 2021, where he was knocking on the door of getting his first Stock Car feature win. "I could win lots of heat races and lead a lot of laps. It's a matter of leading the final lap that was tough," he said. "You have to figure who we're running against with (James) McMillin, Scotty Allen and (David) Hendrix. They have hundreds of feature wins in Stock Cars and I don't have that experience yet. "Those cars are a blast to drive. The racing is so clean. Lucas leads to lots of multi-lane racing, where you can run the bottom, middle or the top. It makes for a lot of fun. It's kind of a drivers' track in a Stock Car. You can find a line that suits you." Coming from a racing family, Griggs started running Micro Sprint at the old Sweet Springs dirt track in 1993 then switched to Modifieds and made nearby Warrensburg his home track for several years. Griggs got involved in Mod Lite racing in recent years and won the Mod Lite Stars national championship in 2019. He traveled mostly alone, covering about 17,000 miles that season from Florida to Arizona and points between. Now he's sold the Mod Lite to add a non-winged Sprint to his stable. He plans to race it on a semi-regular basis when he isn't competing in the Stock Car. "My Dad raced Sprint cars when I was growing up and it's always been my dream to do that," Griggs said. "It's really the only reason I'm doing that now at 52 years old, to do it before I get too old to do it." Both cars are sponsored by Josh Crump, with Crump Construction and True Grit Excavating & Concrete. Griggs would welcome additional sponsorship on the Stock Car. "I think we're gonna have as good a car as there is out there, so hopefully we can provide some value with a good car and some up-front running," he said. "To be able to be on TV (MAVTV Motorsports Network and MAVTV Plus) at Lucas Oil is awesome. It's something most tracks don't have." Lucas Oil Speedway roars to life for the first time in 2022 on Saturday, with an Open Test and Tune scheduled for 2-6 p.m. Competitors in each of the four Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series classes - Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds, Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods, O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars and Hermitage Lumber Late Models - plus any others from the region are invited to participate. Grandstand admission is free and pit passes are $25 ($10 for ages 5 and under). Concessions behind the pit-side grandstand will be open with a limited menu. Race fuel, tires and Lucas Oil products also will be available for sale. Another Test and Tune is set for April 16 from 4-6 p.m. prior to the Easter Bowl 150. Enduro cars will not be allowed to be a part of the Test and Tune. The 9th annual Pitts Homes MLRA Spring Nationals are set for April 22-23. The Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series Spring Opener opener is scheduled for April 30. Enduro Easter Bowl 150 entries remain open: Entries remain open for the inaugural Enduro Easter Bowl 150 with the early registration deadline is set for Saturday. Entry fee is $100 for early entries and $150 after April 9. The entry list for the race is updated daily on the Lucas Oil Speedway Facebook page.

The Easter Bowl 150 winner will earn $1,500 with prize money paid to the top 10 finishers with other payouts: 2nd - $800; 3rd - $500. 4th - $300. 5th - 200. 6th - $175. 7th - 150. 8th - $125. 9th - $100. 10th - $100.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: Cancer battle doesn't diminish McCoin's passion for Late Model racing
WHEATLAND, MO. (March 30, 2022) - If you are looking for a driver to cheer on this season at Lucas Oil Speedway, Todd McCoin in the Hermitage Late Model division might be one to consider. McCoin, who's been racing Late Models for more than 20 years, is battling cancer and is undergoing monthly treatments to target the renal cell carcinoma. "We're pretty much ready to go. The car is ready. I don't know about the driver, but the car is ready," McCoin, from the mid-Missouri town of Barnett, said with a laugh. McCoin is keeping a smile and a good attitude despite the adversity he faces from a health battle that's been ongoing. "I've been fighting cancer for a couple of years now," he added. "This may be the last year for us. I'm not really sure. We're gonna play it by ear. We've been kind of holding it at bay for the most part these last couple of years, but you never know what tomorrow brings." McCoin, who turns 52 in May, is coming off a solid season. He wound up sixth in Lucas Oil Speedway points with seven top-five finishes in 11 races. He won a midsummer feature at Lake Ozark Speedway and a season-ending open Late Model event at Nevada Speedway. With plans to run Callaway Raceway in Fulton on Friday nights and Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturdays, McCoin is looking to enjoy every minute behind the wheel. He's approaching his racing like his cancer challenge with the motto of "never give up." "We've been just trying to have fun instead of taking stuff so serious," he said. "We run for points, but if we have to miss a race it's not the end of the world like it used to be. We're just trying to have fun. "It's just getting a little more difficult. My daughter used to help a lot and she's gone her own way, with other interests. I've lost some other help. But we're gonna keep on trying. We're not gonna give up yet." McCoin's life took a turn six years ago, shortly after winning the season-opening Late Model Weekly Racing Series feature at Lucas Oil Speedway. Three weeks later, he was diagnosed with kidney cancer and underwent surgery to remove one of his kidneys. "Talk about having a high, winning the first race at Lucas, to three weeks later being told I had cancer. That was kind of a shocker," he said. The next two years, McCoin was in remission but in 2018 the cancer came back in his lung and adrenal gland. He had radiation treatments last year and again in January along with monthly immunotherapy in Columbia. "The last night of last season at Lucas, I took third and for me, that was like a win," McCoin said. "Shoot, I had radiation treatment the day before on Friday. The treatment leaves me really fatigued. "It's a struggle wheeling the car when it's 100 degrees in the shade and 130 in the cockpit with a racing suit on. But as long as I can get into that car, I'd sure like to keep going." McCoin began competing in demolition derbies shortly after graduating from high school in 1988. He got into weekly racing full time in 1999 with a desire to drive Late Models, first starting in Street Stocks. The 2015 season was a memorable one as McCoin wound up third in Lucas Oil Speedway points. Last season started in difficult fashion with a blown motor during preseason Test and Tune, leading him to buy a motor from track champion Cole Henson. "We went on and had a pretty good season," McCoin said. "We did OK at Lucas, dealing with some pretty stiff competition with guys like Johnny Fennewald, Larry Ferris and Cole Henson. "I've been racing or demolition derbying since I got out of high school in '88. I don't know any different," he added. "Street Stocks now are like the Late Models were back then, for the most part. Late Model racing was always my passion. I knew that's all I wanted to drive." McCoin has limited sponsor help with Veracruz Mexican Restaurant in Versailles, his primary backer, along with some help from Hatfield Engines. He notes that wife Lynn is his biggest supporter. "She works seven days a week to help me keep doing this," he said. "I couldn't do it without her."

- Lucas Oil Speedway private test sessions available prior to, during the 2022 season
WHEATLAND, MO. (March 29, 2022) - As the new Lucas Oil Speedway season approaches, drivers looking for some extra preparation for opening night, or just do a little extra fine-tuning for the upcoming season, can schedule a private testing session. Cost for a four-hour session on the dirt oval is $1,500 for four hours. Up to four cars are allowed per session and can divide the rental cost. One or two cars are allowed on the track at the same time with sessions available from 2-6 p.m. Monday through Friday. General Manager Danny Lorton said that the track will be prepared to closely resemble race-night conditions. The test sessions are being offered both before and during the season. "It's been an extremely wet late winter and early spring and the track is really soft, but we're working on it this week with hopes of having it in race shape for test sessions soon," Lorton said. Test sessions are open for any type of car scheduled to race at Lucas Oil Speedway this season, but teams running the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series or Lucas Oil MLRA cannot schedule a private session within seven days prior to a scheduled event.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: Maggard puts focus on Hermitage Lumber Late Model class
WHEATLAND, MO. (March 17, 2022) - Third-generation Ozarks-area race-car driver Michael Maggard has been around the sports his entire life. He began racing at age 13 in Pure Stocks and has driven Modifieds and Late Models on Ozarks-area tracks in recent years. Now 32, Maggard is planning to become a regular at Lucas Oil Speedway for the first time. He will compete in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model portion of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series in 2022. "I just really want to race local and get more family time," Maggard said of his decision. The Republic resident has campaigned his Late Model in the Cash Money Super Dirt Series the last few years. "Last year at work, being pretty busy, it was hard to get out and leave on a Friday morning and go race somewhere, two and a half hours away," Maggard said. "This just fits our schedule better. I'm looking forward to it." Maggard is not a total stranger to Lucas Oil Speedway. He dropped in on the ULMA action three times last season and came away with a pair of top-10 finishes. He developed an appreciation for the competition. "I love the facilities there, obviously," Maggard said. "It's pretty clean racing. The Cash Money deal was rough on equipment. We could go (to Lucas) and race and not really tear up tires or anything too bad. "Plus, you're racing with really clean race-car drivers, too. They respect their stuff as much as you do." Maggard's career highlights include winning the prestigious Spooker at Tri-State Speedway near Fort Smith, Arkansas, twice. The first was 2013 in a Modified and the second in 2018 in his Late Model for a Cash Money Series feature win that was special in more ways than one. "That 2018 race also is when I proposed to my wife (Kami). She said yes that night, which probably makes it my biggest highlight," Maggard said. Racing definitely is a family sport for the Maggards. Michael's grandfather, Bob, was a top competitor on area tracks in the 1960s and '70s and was inducted into the Ozarks Area Racers Foundation Hall of Fame a couple of months ago. Dad Bobby, and uncles Erik and Brandon, also have raced, or continue to race, on area dirt. The tradition also appears ready to continue to a fourth generation. Michael's five-year-old son Emmitt along with nine-year-olds Brayson and Bentley also race go-karts. He said Emmitt appears to have been bitten by the racing bug the most. "He's the one who's out in the shop wanting to help work on the car. He doesn't want to play. The race car is all he cares about," Michael said. That car is a Black Diamond that Maggard said is just about ready to roll for the new season. He goal is to win a track championship, though he knows it won't be easy. Cole Henson of Russellville is the two-time defending champ with Johnny Fennewald of Appleton City has been runner-up both seasons. Fennewald won three straight titles from 2018-20. "I would really like to set a goal to win the points," Maggard said. "Our main focus is gonna be just Lucas. We want to be very competitive and put all our coins into that. We want to be good there." Team sponsors include car owner Terry Green Motorsports, Christi Bukaty, USA Mortgage, R&R Graphics, Kami's Cleaning Services, Allen's Automotive, Eagle Machine and Bryan Larimore's Dirt Track Specialist. Crew help comes from Mike Jenkins who Maggard says "is 100 percent committed to the deal and that's gonna help out a bunch." Season openers: Lucas Oil Speedway has a Test and Tune scheduled for April 9 from 2-6 p.m. and another for April 16 from 4-6 p.m. The April 16 Test and Tune will be followed by the "Easter Bowl 150" Enduro race at 6:30 p.m. Registration for Enduro Easter Bowl 150 is underway. Drivers can call the speedway office at (417) 282-5984 and pay the entry fee via credit card or print off the entry form from the website and mail in with the fee.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: Sawyer ready for another go in USRA Stock Cars
WHEATLAND, MO. (March 3, 2022) - The first season of USRA Stock Cars attracted a solid base of drivers to Lucas Oil Speedway that grew throughout the year and figures to continue expanding in 2022. Christopher Sawyer of Buffalo is among those who gave the new class a try and liked it. Sawyer, after a decade driving Pure Stocks, finished fifth in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Car division at Lucas Oil Speedway and fourth at Dallas County Speedway. Now he's ready to do it again with upgraded equipment and a boost of optimism. "Hopefully we'll be a lot better," Sawyer said. "I'm getting a brand new Allen (Autosports) car and we'll have a fresh motor, so it should be a pretty good year. I'm looking forward to it." Sawyer wound up with nine top-10 finishes in 13 Lucas Oil Speedway races. His highlights at Dallas County Speedway in Urbana were a pair of top-three runs. "It was pretty big coming from a Pure Stock," Sawyer said of the learning curve. "There was a lot more you could change instead of just a spring. The (USRA Stock Cars) are fun to drive. There's close racing. It's fun and that's appealing to me." Sawyer, 37, was bitten by the racing bug as a youngster when he attended races held on the pavement at Bolivar Speedway. "Then later on I went to Bill Allen's track (Dallas County Speedway) on Friday night and I was hooked," Sawyer said. "I had a car three weeks later and started racing it toward the end of that season." Over his years in a Pure Stock, Sawyer's notable accomplishments include a points championship at Lake Ozark Speedway and multiple runner-up finishes in the championship chase at Dallas County Speedway. He said his buddy Matt Darnell - who drove Sawyer's Pure Stock last year and will be a Stock Cars teammate this season - beat him out a couple of times for the title. Racing also is a family passion as Sawyer's four kids, ages 13 through 18, often join him at the track. The one most likely to be found helping him work on the car is his 16-year-old daughter, Krislynn. "She wants to (race) and I told her she had to learn to wrench them herself before she does," Sawyer said with a laugh. Goals for Sawyer this season include repeating top-five points finishes at both Lucas Oil Speedway and Dallas County Speedway "and I want to be top-15 in (USRA) national points." Team sponsors include Watson Metal Masters and Sheldon's Mufflers in Buffalo and Springfield. The Lucas Oil Speedway opens the season with a Test and Tune April 9 from 2-6 p.m. and another for April 16 from 4-6 p.m. The April 16 Test and Tune will be followed by the "Easter Bowl 150" Enduro race at 6:30 p.m. The 9th annual Pitts Homes MLRA Spring Nationals are set for April 22-23.
