  BRENT AND GRANT SEXTON COMPETE IN THE GLENN HOWARD CLASSIC ON SATURDAY AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY

  (Lakeside, CA, September 19, 2023) Sexton Gatlin Racing drivers Brent and Grant Sexton will be back on the track for the first time in over a month when they contest the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series Glenn Howard Classic this Saturday, September 23rd at Perris Auto Speedway. It will be their first race since the finale of the POWRi MinKota Summer Nationals at Minnesota's Buffalo River Speedway on August 14th. As he has done most of the year, 19-year-old Grant enters the race leading the USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year standings. The teen has steadily climbed the points ladder all year long and comes into Saturday's race in seventh. The young driver has placed in the top ten four times in 2023. His best outing was a fifth-place result at the Bakersfield Speedway on June 24th. At Perris, a ninth-place finish at the prestigious Salute to Indy on May 27th, has been his best result at the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval this year. Besides that, the track has been tough on the effervescent teen with a 12th, 15th, 16th, and 19th. He hopes to improve on all of his Perris finishes on Saturday. Brent, who has been racing at Perris for over 20 years in lightning sprint cars, made his USAC/CRA debut on June 10th. The now 50-year-old shocked everyone by finishing seventh after starting near the back of the pack. His other start in the series came on July 15th at Perris. On that night he started 22nd in the main and moved forward to finish 18th. In addition to his outings in the USAC/CRA Series, Brent, the defending POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion, has a win and a second-place finish in the two POWRi races at the track known as The PAS this year. This week, Tennessee native Brent will be debuting a new XXX Chassis. In addition, he will be using an ex-Rico Abreau 360 engine that the team just purchased. The same engine is destined to see some action in the USAC West Coast Series with Grant pushing the pedals. With plans on mostly sticking with USAC/CRA Sprint Cars in 2024, Sexton Gatlin Racing has two, top-of-the-line lightning sprint cars for sale. For prices or information, contact Brent Sexton via the phone number or email at the top of this release. Spectator gates at Perris will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00 on Saturday. Adult tickets are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6-12 it is just $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charges $10.00 for parking. Advance tickets for every regular race at The PAS are available until 7:00 p.m. on race day online at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 or by calling 1-800-595-4849. For fans who do not wish to buy advance tickets, there will be plenty available for everyone at the ticket window on Saturday.

  Ryan Timms Wins The 2023 Hockett/McMillin Memorial At Lucas Oil Speedway!

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

  Armed with new chassis, Cox ready to roll as Lucas Oil Speedway Weekly Late Models get shot at extra cash

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

  Hockett-McMillin Memorial Spotlight: ASCS championship leader Martin looks to add Lucas Oil Speedway success

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

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

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 11, 2023) - What's become an annual reunion for top sprint-car drivers and fans from throughout the land fires up the 2023 version on Thursday night at Lucas Oil Speedway, all the while paying tribute to two icons of the sport. The 13th annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial is a three-night crown jewel event featuring the best of the American Sprint Car Series winged cars and the POWRi WAR wingless sprints. "This even just continues to grow, year after year, and we look forward to a great three nights of open-wheel action," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "Fans from all over the country put this on their schedules and make it a must-see race weekend with large fields of cars." The Hockett-McMillin Memorial recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, from Warsaw, Mo., who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006. The event attracts such a large field of cars that both the ASCS winged sprint and POWRi WAR divisions will split the field of entries and run full programs the first two nights, with $3,000-to-win features for the winged cars and $2,000 for the wingless. Drivers will earn points each time they hit the track Thursday and Friday nights to help determine their starting position for the final night.

  EDDIE TAFOYA JR. IS RACING IN TEXAS AND ARKANSAS THIS WEEK

  (Chino, CA, September 5, 2023) Eddie Tafoya Jr. headed back to the airport on Wednesday to get ready for the USAC National Sprint Car Series races this week in Texas and Arkansas. On Thursday, September 7th, he will be at the famous half-mile high-banked Devil's Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas. He will then journey to Texarkana, Arkansas for races on Friday and Saturday at the semi-banked 1/4 mile Texarkana 67 Speedway. For Tafoya, it will be his initial appearance on each of the tracks. The driver, who lives 35 miles east of Los Angeles in Chino Hills, California, was slated to make his Devils Bowl debut on April 28th and 29th. However, those races, along with one at the Rocket Raceway in Petty, Texas the night before, were all rained out. He salvaged the wet trip by high-tailing it to the I70 Motorsports Park in Odessa, Missouri to finish seventh in a POWRi War Sprint Car Series race on April 29th. From there he headed northeast to the Eldora Speedway for his initial appearance on the famous high banks during the first week in May. On the western Ohio track, he qualified for both USAC National Sprint Car mains on the Tony Stewart-owned oval placing 18th and 19th. Tafoya made a couple of sojourns to Indiana over the past couple of months. The first came in late July when he competed in the grinding Indiana Sprint Week making the A main event at the legendary Terre Haute Action Track and the Bloomington Speedway. He concluded that trip with another main event appearance in a Boss race at the Paragon Speedway. Results from all of Tafoya's 2023 racing endeavors are at the end of this release. Not long after the Indiana Sprint Week trip, Tafoya returned to the "Hoosier State" for the prestigious 12th Annual Smackdown at "Indiana's Baddest Bull Ring," the Kokomo Speedway. As has been the case with Tafoya most of the year, the three nights of racing were in the USAC National Sprint Car Series. For the pleasant driver who turned 26 years old earlier in the season, things did not go the way he wanted at Kokomo. However, he is fired up and ready to compete in the world's premiere traditional sprint car series once again this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. After the conclusion of the Smackdown, Tafoya and the crew drove the team hauler to Texas for this week's race. They left it there and hopped on a flight home to California. They flew back to Texas Wednesday morning to get the car ready for this week's action. Even though he has not raced the full USAC National Series schedule, the personable driver is still 25th in the championship standings and is only 16 points out of 23rd heading into the three races. For fans not able to make it to Texas and Arkansas for the races, all three nights will be shown live on Flo Racing. For information on how to watch or subscribe, please visit the following link https://www.floracing.com/. The Specialty Fasteners #51T team is always exploring corporate partnership opportunities. If you or your company would like to be a partner with the hard-working sprint car squad, please contact Eddie Tafoya Jr. via phone at (909) 393-3999 or by e-mail at mailto:teamtafoya@aol.com. He will be happy to talk to you and lay out the team's plans. Tafoya's great-looking shirts and hoodies are available online at www.specialty-fasteners.com. Tafoya has a great YouTube channel at the following link https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1hrmC5L80EU. Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram @eddietafoya51. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, DRC Chassis, Ryder Racing Engines, Simpson Safety Products, Bell, Benic Enterprises, BR Motorsports, PSC Powder Coating, Magik Graphics, Gasper Transportation, Owen's Insurance Services, and Weld Wheels for supporting its racing program.

  Chad Simpson cashes big on Night Two of Lucas Oil MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 2, 2023) - Chad Simpson cemented his Lucas Oil MLRA championship points lead and enjoyed a lucrative payday on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Simpson, of Mount Vernon, Iowa, led the final 34 of the 40-lap Lucas Oil MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial Presented by Rugged Radios. Simpson earned $11,000 for the triumph, including a $1,000 bonus from Mary Jenkins Holt in memory of Ron Jenkins, original builder of Wheatland Raceway. Mary also will awarded a $500 bonus to Simpson as fast-time qualifier on Saturday night. Simpson beat his brother, Chris Simpson of Oxford, Iowa, by 3.5 seconds for the victory in the 40-lap main event after settling for second the night before. "Two great nights for us," Simpson said. He increased the points lead to 290 over Chris Simpson with just four MLRA races remaining in pursuit of a repeat series championship and his fourth overall to go with titles in 2014, 2018 and 2022. "We had a good hot rod, but we started to hurt the right rear tire and I'm glad it's over," Simpson said afterward. Other feature winners on Night Two were Kris Jackson (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Nic Bidinger (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds) and Mason Beck (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). The first seven laps of the MLRA feature saw three lead changes. The Simpson brothers started together on the front row and Chris Simpson led the opening three circuits before Tony Jackson Jr., took over the lead with an inside pass off turn two on lap four. Three laps later, Chad Simpson moved to the front as he sailed around the outside of Jackson off turn four - just before the race's first caution for a two-car spin at the back of the field. Chad Simpson executed a flawless restart and rolled to a 1.3-second lead over Chris Simpson before a lap-10 caution for a slowing Aaron Marrant took away that margin. The leader once again set sail as the green flew and, with a clear track ahead, opened a 2.9-second lead by the halfway mark. That's when the event's third caution appeared as Justin Wells came to a stop on the front straightaway. Daniel Hilsabeck, who started seventh, rallied into third with Dustin Hodges fourth with Jackson in fifth. By lap 24, Dillon McCowan was in fourth after starting the race 11th and starting to apply pressure to Chris Simpson and Hilsabeck as the slowing car of Jackson led to caution No. 4. Following another caution on lap 27, Chad Simpson soon opened his biggest lead of the race, 2.7 seconds by lap 34. Simpson encountered lapped traffic the rest of the way, but was able to weave through it to preserve his third MLRA feature win of the season. He beat Chad Simpson by 3.5 seconds as fireworks lit the sky as he took the checkers. "Early on there, those guys got a little better jump on me but I knew the top would come in eventually, at least a little bit," Chad Simpson said. "Just hats out to all the sponsors who help me on this thing. But this one here, it's big hats off to my crew guy. He told me mid-race to get off the top and get down to the middle and I was able to pull away." Hilsabeck finished another 3.2 seconds behind Chris Simpson for third, Hodges was fourth and Matt Johnson captured fifth. "It really dictates off of four," Chris Simpson said of the chance to overtake Chad on the lap-27 restart. "Daniel kind of hooked me on that last restart and got me sideways and let Chad get out. Once he moved to the middle, it was over. "They've had a good car and congrats to them. Randy Davidson (Trucking) is our sponsor and he got me and Chad one and two, so I'm sure he'll be throwing some beers back here in a little bit." For the second straight night, Chad Simpson set fast qualifying time. His lap of 15.610 was an omen of things to come as he went on to win his heat and the main event. It was Simpson's fifth overall win of the year. McCowan, of nearby Urbana, finished sixth and maintained his stronghold on the MLRA Rookie of the Year race. Kaeden Cornell of Willard finished seventh and Cole Wells of Aurora was eighth. Jackson completes USRA B-Mod sweep: Kris Jackson completed a weekend sweep in the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod division, this time with a drive from 15th at the start to first and needing only 11 laps to do so. The Lebanon driver beat Dayton Pursley by just over one second for his fifth Lucas Oil Speedway win of the season and 39th overall. "We didn't have a very good heat race. We couldn't get in our rhythm and tires hooked up for the heat," Jackson said. "It buried us. But we're gonna make a late charge at this USRA points thing and this was a good points night." Pursley set the early pace as action was slowed by three cautions before three laps were completed. But Jackson already had advanced to sixth by lap five. Pursley's lead was 1.9 seconds over Casey Thomas by the mid point on lap 10 but Jackson made it to third when a caution flew. Jackson immediately drove to the lead on the restart and pulled away from there to complete the weekend sweep. He finished 1.1 seconds clear of Pursley with Eric Turner third, Thomas fourth and Colson Kirk fifth. Bidinger leads all the way for USRA Modified win: Nic Bidinger of Perry, Kan., led all 20 laps to capture the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature over Ryan Middaugh. Bidinger started on the front row and wasted no time taking command, opening a 3.01-second lead over Middaugh by lap 10. Even as he found lapped traffic over the final half of the race, Bidinger maintained a comfortable command en route to winning at Lucas Oil Speedway for the second straight weekend and fourth time this season. His margin was 3.09 seconds at the finish over Middaugh, the Night One Jenkins Memorial winner. Kameron Grindstaff finished third with Kerry Davis fourth and Jason Pursley fifth. "I said it last week when we were standing up here, this CDR (Cade Dillard Racing) car is fast," Bidinger said. "This week, I didn't screw it up. Last week, the setup wasn't very good. Tonight we were spot on. I have to thank all my guys." USRA Stock Cars win goes to Beck: Season champion Mason Beck of Urbana led flag to flag for his seventh O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win. Beck started up front and led all 20 laps, opening a commanding 3.1-second lead over Brandon Conkwright halfway through the race and wound up with the same margin at the checkers. Conkwright had a 1.7-second margin over third-place Waylon Dimmitt. Beck was happy to improved one spot from his runner-up finish on Friday. "We had a pretty good run last night. I didn't really want to have to go side-by-side all night, so we got her a little better for tonight and ended up winning it," Beck said. "And I forgot to say this last week, but I do believe that I have the fastest Stock Car in the state of Missouri." William Garner came home in fourth with Pat Graham in fifth.

  Stevens rolls to first career MLRA victory in Ron Jenkins Memorial opener at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 1, 2023) - Fourth-starting Tyler Stevens of Paragould, Ark., scored his first career Lucas Oil MLRA victory Friday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Stevens took the lead midway through the 30-lapper and went on to beat Chad Simpson on Night One of the Ron Jenkins Memorial Presented by Rugged Radios. Stevens earned $5,000 for the victory in dry-slick conditions. Other feature winners on the first night of the special were Kris Jackson (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Ryan Middaugh (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds) and Waylon Dimmitt (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). There were 34 Late Models and 101 total entries in the pits on Friday night. Stevens, a series rookie who came in ninth in points, chased down and passed Simpson on lap 16 as the leader got pinched in lapped traffic. Stevens called his win a much-needed boost to his team. "We have had the worst luck this year," Stevens said. "New car, new motor, new shocks, new everything. It feels good. I knew we had a heck of a hot rod, we just needed to put it all together." Simpson set fast qualifying time and won his heat to earn the pole. He capitalized on that by taking the lead from the start, with a one-second advantage over Stevens eight laps into the race. Catching lapped traffic by lap 10, Simpson had to carefully pick his way through the slower cars and Stevens was able to pull alongside on lap 15 before taking the lead on lap 16 after Simpson had trouble navigating through turn two. "I was worried I was gonna wear the right rear (tire) out, but the car was so good I could steer around there and didn't have to really slide," Stevens said. "I was pretty patient there, running up behind Chad. He was committed pretty much to the bottom and when he got into that lapped traffic, I knew if he didn't work his way up and find that clean area of the race track, I thought I could roll by him here. "The MLRA has some awesome racers. It feels good to be on top of the podium." Simpson, of Mount Vernon, Iowa, said the lapped traffic did him in but it was a good points night as he continued pursuit of his fourth MLRA championship. "We had a good night, the car's good, we just didn't quite get tight enough for the main," Simpson said. "I got beat in lapped traffic. I got one back home in lapped traffic a couple of weeks ago, so maybe that's mine back." The new leader drove away to a 1.3-second lead with 10 to go as the race's long green-flag run continued all the way to the finish. Meanwhile, as Stevens set the pace up front, Dillon McCowan got around Scott Crigler for third on lap 26. Simpson came rolling in the final laps to make a run at Stevens, but settled for second just .328 seconds behind Stevens. McCowan wound up third with Crigler fourth and Logan Martin in fifth. Chris Simpson, who began the night 165 points behind his brother Chad in the MLRA points chase, went to his backup car for the feature and started at the rear of the field. He finished 15th and lost considerable ground, falling to 240 points behind with just five events remaining. McCowan, the popular local driver from nearby Urbana and the MLRA Rookie of the Year leader, scored his first MLRA podium finish. He moved to third in series points. "It's been a long, long last couple of month," McCowan said. "Ever since the Show-Me (100) we've been battling this thing. The track was amazing. Smooth and slick. You could about race wherever you wanted. "I guess I started driving it a little harder and it freed up the car a little bit and I was able to get around Crigler and start catching (Stevens and Simpson). A couple of more laps and I think we could have been dicing it up with them for the lead." Action resumes on Saturday night with first place worth $11,000 to the MLRA Late Model winner. The total includes a $1,000 bonus from Mary Jenkins Holt in memory of Ron Jenkins, original builder of Wheatland Raceway. Mary also will award a $500 bonus to fast-time qualifier on Saturday night. Pit and spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. Jackson drives to B-Mod wins: Lebanon's Kris Jackson picked up his 38th overall feature win in 2023 and fourth at Lucas Oil Speedway, leading the final 15 laps of Friday night's Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod main event. "This track was great for the feature," Jackson said. "It kind of favored a person like me. I like the middle of the race track and it was probably the prime groove for the better part of the race." Jackson moved from his third starting position to challenge Newell for the lead on lap one, but Newell held him off and had a .720-second lead when the race's first caution waved on lap five. Jackson found traction in the low groove to pass Newell for the lead on lap six, but action was quickly slowed again just a lap later with another caution. Andy Bryant moved into second on the restart and stayed on the high side to battle it out with Jackson. Just as Jackson opened up a 1.2-second lead on lap 11, another caution came out to bunch the field. Finally getting an extended green-flag run, Jackson drove away over the final nine laps for a 3.2-second win over Bryant with Eric Turner coming home in third, Robbe Ewing fourth and Newell finishing fifth. USRA Modifieds victory goes to Middaugh: Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified track champion Ryan Middaugh of Fulton led all but the first lap en route to his 17th overall victory of the season and sixth at Lucas Oil Speedway, beating Jared Russell and Jason Pursley. Middaugh assumed the lead on lap two when he got around fellow front-row starter Pursley. Over the next several laps, Middaugh ran the low side as Pursley worked the high groove to break away from the third-place Russell by 1.5 seconds. As the laps clicked by, regular-season track champion Middaugh gradually began to pull away to lead Pursley by 1.2 seconds by lap 12. The leader caught lapped traffic by lap 16 just as Russell moved around Pursley and into second. Middaugh held on to beat Russell by 1.02 seconds at the finish with Pursley third, Robbie Reed fourth and Gunner Martin fifth. "Lapped traffic got a little hairy there," Middaugh said. "I wanted a caution, but I didn't want a caution. I just wanted to see the checkered flag." Dimmitt rolls to USRA Stock Cars win: Camdenton's Waylon Dimmitt earned his fourth O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars victory of the season, leading all 20 laps to top track champion Mason Beck. Dimmitt started on the pole and set the early pace, with Pat Graham advancing from sixth to second by lap two and Beck running third. The trio broke away and it was well back to William Garner in fourth by lap 10. Dimmitt was able to extend his lead to 1.5 seconds by lap 12 as Graham and Beck were dueling side by side behind him. Garner soon joined the battle to make it a three-way race for the runner-up spot. Meanwhile, Dimmitt kept pulling away as the race stayed caution-free. He prevailed by 2.9 seconds at the finish with Beck edging past Graham for second on the final lap and Garner finished fourth. "These are the kind of tracks we shine on," Dimmitt said. "I hate racing in the mud. It was good and slick tonight. I kind of wish it was that way every night." Pit and spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Chad Simpson has repeat MLRA championship in sight entering Ron Jenkins Memorial

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 30, 2023) - Chad Simpson holds a seemingly comfortable 165-point lead in pursuit of his fourth Lucas Oil MLRA championship entering this weekend's two-night Ron Jenkins Memorial Presented by Rugged Radios at Lucas Oil Speedway. But you won't catch the 44-year-old from Mount Vernon, Iowa, taking anything for granted with just six events remaining on the MLRA schedule. What looks safe today is a bad night or two away from becoming a tense chase. "The car and everything is feeling good, but it's like everything else," Simpson said Wednesday in previewing the weekend and his top-dog status. "You can't slip up or give anything up. You have to be ready to go every week." Action fires up on Friday with drivers chasing a $5,000-to-win feature with Saturday night's main event winner taking home $10,000 plus a $1,000 bonus courtesy of Mary Jenkins Holt in memory of Ron Jenkins, original builder of Wheatland Raceway. Mary also will give a $500 bonus to fast-time qualifier on Saturday night. The MLRA weekend will conclude with a Sunday show at Moberly Motorsports Park. That leaves only three October events remaining, so this weekend will shape how much mystery remains in the title chase. Simpson, with two MLRA victories and four top-five finishes this season, is looking to defend his series championship to go with other MLRA points titles in 2014 and 2018. His brother, Crhis Simpson of Oxford, Iowa, is the nearest pursuer with Garrett Alberson of Las Cruces, N.M., 195 behind. "Obviously the goal is to go out and win races, but what you do when you're point racing like you are, you have to play it a little smarter at times," Chad Simpson said. "Maybe you can't get as aggressive or as greedy sometimes when you want to win the race." For instance, top-three finishes this weekend would make it difficult for anyone to make a major dent in his lead. Winning a fourth title, and becoming the first MLRA repeat champ since John Anderson 2011 and 2012, carries a lot of meaning. Winning again as a driver-owner also would be special. Simpson did so for the first time in 2022. "It's definitely been the goal," Simpsons aid. "We started the year out with a new car and program this year. With all the help Longhorn and Wells Motorsports in helping us get this thing going, it's put us in position to hopefully get that fourth title. "Every one is special in their own way," Simpson said of series championships. "Every year is new challenges and new adventures. Every one is just as important as the other one. Especially in the modern era of Late Model racing where achieving consistency from year to year is so difficult. "It's definitely getting harder and harder. The competition level is definitely better," Simpson said. "It's always been really tough, but the race cars are so equal nowadays when everybody is in contention."

  Williams edges Morton for USRA B-Mod title as close finishes highlight Lucas Oil Speedway championship program

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 26, 2023) - There was drama at the front and drama further back in the field in the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod main event Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Kris Jackson picked up the victory with a last-lap pass, but Bobby Williams celebrated the championship with what was probably the best 10th-place run of his career. It all went down on Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night at Lucas Oil Speedway Presented by Bill Roberts Chevrolet and KCTV 5 Kansas City. In the other divisions of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series, Mason Beck nailed down the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars title with another feature win; Ryan Middaugh celebrated the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified championship while Nic Bidinger captured the feature and Justin Wells capped his Hermitage Lumber Late Model championship with a 10th feature win. The championship-night program honors Harold "Rowdy" Rempfer and his wife, Julia, who were killed in an automobile accident five years ago. Rowdy was the mayor of Wheatland and he and Julia both worked at Lucas Oil Speedway for many years. The Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod division was the only undecided class entering championship night and the race within the race for the points crown was just as fun as the battle for the race victory. Williams, of Hermitage, claimed championship No. 1 after not winning a feature all season. But he was a mark of consistency, with eight top-five finishes and 14 top-10s. "This season we've faced a lot of adversity at this track. It's been a love-hate relationship for us here," Williams said, adding that the championship was special for reasons other than himself. "I wanted this for my niece. She has heart surgery here in a few weeks, so we're glad to do that for her," Williams said. Turner set the pace in the B-Mod feature, leading the way as Gillmore, Morton and Jackson. The top four were separated by just 1.3 seconds when a caution slowed the action on lap seven. Just before the midpoint, it appeared that Williams' title chances were slim to none. On a lap-seven restart, Williams was caught up in a multi-car melee that sent him to the pits for quick repairs. Williams made it back on the track, but at the back of the field in 15th and far behind fourth-running Morton, whom he needed to stay within four positions to win his first title. But as the laps clicked by, Morton made a bobble and lost two spots and Williams made steady gains. By lap 17, Williams was 11th and Morton seventh. Meanwhile, there was action at the front on the final lap. Gillmore spun in turn three while looking to get around Turner to bring out a caution. The one-lap ensuing shootout saw Morton sixth and Williams 10th - and it gave seven-time track champ Jackson another chance. Jackson made the most of the it, using a slider in turns three and four to pass Turner and walk away with the win. It was sweet for Jackson as well that Williams won the title as he drives a J2 Race Car built by Jackson. "We had our work cut out for us, drawing a six in the redraw with five of the top competitors in front of me," Jackson said. "I knew Bobby had his work cut out for him. I know JC, when you put him on the line, he usually doesn't made any mistakes and he didn't make any, that I could see any way." Franklin wound up third with JC Newell fourth and Jon Sheets fifth. "I honestly thought when he turned in on the door in three," Jackson said, "that he kind of was stopping the slide and I thought, 'well, he has to slow down somewhat to make the turn and I don't. I've got the whole track to slide to the wall' so I left the wood down and kicked it sideways. "I don't think he was happy with me, but I didn't touch him and he touched me. That's the way it is." Beck celebrates feature win, USRA Stock Cars title: All Mason Beck needed to do was take the green flag on Saturday night as his points lead was such that he all but had the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars title clinched. The Urbana driver did much more than that, leading all 20 laps for his sixth feature victory of the season. William Garner entered the night 89 points behind Beck and, along with finishing second in the points chase he took second in the feature. "It feels pretty good," Beck said of the championship. "We worked our butts off this year and it paid off." Beck started on the outside of row one and he wasted no time grabbing the lead over third-starting William Garner. It took just five laps for those two to open a three-second lead over the rest of the field, with Rodney Schweizer far back in third. Beck's margin over Garner was 1.3 seconds by the halfway mark on lap 10 and 1.6 seconds when the first caution came out on lap 15. The final five laps saw Beck continue his dominance, finishing 1.3 seconds in front of Garner. Johnny Fennewald finished third with Waylon Dimmitt fourth and Schweizer in fifth. Bidinger outduels Davis for USRA Modified win: Nic Bidinger stalked race-long leader Kerry Davis for all the but the final 100 yards, as Bidinger made the winning pass off turn four to earn the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature win. Bidinger, of Perry, Kan., earned his third Lucas Oil Speedway victory of the season by the margin of .327 seconds. "I kind of gave him a warning nudge a couple of times and he still wasn't leaving me room," said Bidinger, who was committed to the high groove. "I wasn't sure whether I was gonna get room on the last lap, but he left it. That was a heck of a race. I enjoy racing with Kerry. I race with him a ton at Lakeside and respect him. Kerry's a hell of a shoe." Davis sprinted away to the lead from his front-row starting position and held it throughout, thought Bidinger pulled alongside on laps 13 and 14 and was unable to get around him. Bidinger made one more bid on the final lap, riding the high groove and pulled off the highlight-reel pass coming off turn four. Jason Pursley finished third and Middaugh wrapped up his championship season with a fourth-place finish. Middaugh had five feature wins on the season. "Every year we set our goals and our number one goal this year was to win a championship down here," Middaugh said. "It's such an awesome facility and awesome competition. To get it done means a lot. Anything on top of this is just a cherry on top. "Points racing is stressful. We're just out here trying to win races and have fun." Wells makes it 10 in Late Models: Veteran Justin Wells of Aurora capped a dominating season in the Hermitage Lumber Late Models, celebrating his first Lucas Oil Speedway championship by winning his 10th feature of the season. "It's been a great year here and it's been a pleasure to run this track," Wells said. "It's run so professional and the track is always good. It's been a fun year. "They've got a lot of good cars here. They threw a lot at us and we survived. We had some close ones, but that's what racing is all about. We're here to put on a show and see some side-by-side racing. We've been really lucky this year with what we've done." Wells took over the lead from Larry Ferris on lap two and never trailed. JC Morton was a distant second. Morton moved into second by lap five, but Wells was catching lapped traffic soon after and had a 1.1-second lead by the halfway mark. Wells' lead briefly shrunk to a half-second when he was caught up in slower cars, but he quickly regained his momentum. Wells continued on to a 2.4-second victory over Morton in the caution-free event. Bryon Allison, the points runner-up, finished third with Andy Bryant fourth in his late model debut and Ferris finished fifth.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Schweizer finds victory lane and good fit in USRA Stock Car division

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 23, 2023) - In one of the most-competitive and entertaining races of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series, Rodney Schweizer emerged from a multi-car battle for much of the 25-lap feature. It was his first O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars win at Lucas Oil Speedway. The triumph, while the first for Schweizer at Lucas Oil Speedway, continued Schweizer's strong showing since joining the USRA Stock Car ranks over the last two seasons. "When you can win at Lucas against them boys down there, it's always something," Schweizer said, reflecting back on Saturday's victory. He outlasted Mason Beck over the last 13 laps over the final few laps. Through the first half of the race, cars were dueling three and sometimes four-wide up front. "It was definitely intense," Schweizer said of the feature action. "It helps when you have a lot of good guys you race around and don't have to worry about them beating and banging on you." The 14-year racing veteran from Kansas City, Kansas - who moved into USRA Stock Cars in 2022 after several years in the Modified ranks - has six wins this season at five different tracks. Along with seven feature wins last season, it seemed only a matter of time until the 39-year-old Schweizer broke through at Wheatland. "We always show up with the intent to win," Schweizer said. It takes a good draw and a good heat race. We haven't been having good draws and good heat-race runs lately. Luck was just finally on our side." Schweizer looks to continue the winning on Saturday for Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night Presented by Bill Roberts Chevrolet-Buick and KCTV 5 Kansas City. While Beck has all but sewed up the season championship in the Stock Car division, Schweizer will be one to watch this week and later this fall when the USRA Nationals return to Lucas Oil Speedway. "We're just concentrating on winning races," Schweizer said of remaining goals this season. Schweizer, who grew up a racing enthusiast as his family attended the action at Lakeside Speedway, made the move to Stock Cars before the 2022 season after a successful career in Modifieds and B-Mods. He electing to sell his Modified equipment after getting an offer to drive for car owner Dave Holcomb. "He owns these cars and he came to me and wanted me to drive his cars. We wound up, I sold my stuff and driving his cars now," he said. "Last year was our rookie year and we put up seven wins. It was a learning curve, but nothing too difficult." Along with Holcomb, Schweizer gets crew help on the car from Patty and Chris Clark, and James Freeman. Team sponsors include Rich's Custom Engines, Schelert House of Antiques, FiveFour Motorsports and KGN Graphics. While three of the four divisions have clear-cut championship leaders, the battle for the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod race is coming down to the wire. Bobby Williams of Hermitage has used consistency throughout the season with eight top-five finishes and will take a 14-point lead over JC Morton into the final night. In the other divisions, Beck is on the verge of clinching the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars championship with an 89-points lead over William Garner. The other two track championships are locked up with Ryan Middaugh of Fulton a 195-point leader over Jason Pursley in the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds and Aurora's Justin Wells 140.5 in front of Larry Ferris atop the Hermitage Lumber Late Models. The championship-night program is named to honor Harold "Rowdy" Rempfer and his wife, Julia, who were killed in an automobile accident five years ago. Rowdy was the mayor of Wheatland and he and Julia both worked at Lucas Oil Speedway for many years. Pit Gates open at 4 p.m. with grandstands at 5, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.

  Fast times at Lucas Oil Speedway as Garet Williamson sets track record, wins POWRi 410 Sprint feature

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 19, 2023) - Garet Williamson went from the fastest driver to ever record a qualifying lap at Lucas Oil Speedway to the 25-lap POWRi 410 Outlaw Bandit Sprint Series feature winner on Saturday night. Williamson, of Columbia, Mo., set a track record to help earn the pole and went on to lead the main event wire-to-wire and take home $5,000. It was the first-ever POWRi 410 Sprint Series appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway and Williamson made it memorable. "This means everything to me. It feels really good to win this close to home," Williamson said. "This is pretty neat." Also earning feature wins on Saturday night were Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber Late Models) and Rodney Schweizer (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). Williamson set a blistering pace from the pole, taking only five laps to catch lapped traffic as he opened a 1.7-second lead over Scotty Milan with Jace Park running third. The first caution flew on lap eight when fifth-place Joe B. Miller spun in turn three. Williamson, Milan and Park were continuing to show the way with Ayrton Gennetten fourth. The restart resulted in a melee going into turn one. Williamson and Park emerged clear as Milan got sideways going for the lead, with Kyle Clark and Kyle Bellm also involved to bring another caution out quickly. Milan's car suffered heavy damage, ending his night. As action resumed, Park spun and made hard contact with the turn-three wall to end his chances. Three green-flag laps were run before the next caution appeared as Bellm and Lane Warner spun in turn two. Williamson had a 1.4-second lead over Gennetten at the time with Gage Montgomery third and Ben Brown in fourth. Williamson seemed to get faster after the next restart, rolling away to a 2.7-second lead over Montgomery when action was stopped on lap 15 for a red flag as Warner took a wild, rolling ride in turn three. Warner emerged from the battered car under his own power. Williamson took advantage of an extended run at speed to take a commanding 5.5-second lead over Gennetten, but that margin was wiped away with a lap-23 caution. That gave Gennetten and third-place Riley Kreisel, who rallied from 18th, two laps to overtake the leader. But there was no denying Williamson as he held on to beat Ben Brown with Kreisel third. Mitchell Moore was fourth and Bellm fifth. Gennetten appeared to have a mechanical issue after the restart and limped home in 10th. Williamson, 23, posted his fourth feature victory of the season and first POWRi 410 Outlaw Bandit Sprint Series win. "This was a fun race, I almost tried to give it away a few times on the restart but man this feels good," Williamson said. "I'm so proud of my team as we continue to build momentum in this thing." Outside from Williamson, Kreisel had the night's most-impressive run as he improved 15 positions from the start after rolling his car during hot laps and struggling in time trials and his heat. "I have to hand it to my guys, they sweated a lot," said Kreisel, who's from nearby Warsaw. "They really busted their tails for me and I appreciate it." Williamson set an unofficial track record in qualifying with a lap of 12.998. The lap eclipsed what is believe to be the record of 13.019 by Jason Meyers in a World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series race at the speedway in 2010. Wells grabs 9th Late Model feature win: Justin Wells' ninth Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature win of the season was probably his toughest, as the Aurora driver held off a late-charging Johnny Fennewald by .117 seconds at the checkers. "He came out of nowhere there," Wells said of Fennewald. "I was pretty comfortable with what I was doing, then I saw him with maybe two or three to go. I thought, 'man, you could lead this whole thing and lose it right here. You better get up on the wheel. We had to turn it up a notch or two." Pole-sitter Tucker Cox led the first four laps before Wells charged around him on the outside of turn two for the lead on lap five. From there, he set sail for his ninth feature win of the season. Wells had a 3.5-second lead by lap 13, when Fennewald got around Cox for second. A close call occurred on lap 14 when Noah Ames spun in turn four to bring out the first caution. Wells was able to slow down just in time to avoid Ames, though it did erase his 3.4-second lead over Fennewald. Fennewald worked the inside groove and was within .662 seconds on lap 21 and pulled alongside Wells to complete lap 23. The two were nearly even coming to the white flag and Fennewald made a last-ditch dive in the final turn, but Wells was able to hold on by a half-car-length. Larry Ferris finished third with Ed Noll fourth and Bryon Allison fifth. Cox, running third with a lap to go, saw his motor go up in smoke and wound up a hard-luck 10th. Schweizer captures a Stock Cars thriller: Rodney Schweizer of Kansas City, Kan., outdueled leader Mason Beck in an O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars 25-lap feature that was a thriller throughout. Schweizer took the lead on lap 13 and was able to hang on for his first Lucas Oil Speedway feature win of the season in a race that saw five cars tightly bunched up front at times. William Garner led the first six laps with fourth-starting Schweizer applying pressure. Then Johnny Fennewald, who started 10th, jumped into the mix taking over second on lap nine and pulling alongside Garner on the outside. The trio was three-wide into turn one on lap nine before Fennewald made the pass on lap 11 as Mason Beck joined the fray along with Waylon Dimmitt. The five cars were separated by only a couple of car lengths in an entertaining battle. Schweizer regained the lead on lap 13, just before the race's first caution came out. Beck moved into second on the restart as the top two were able to get a bit of separation as Dimmitt, Fennewald and Garner followed. The race remained green the final 11 laps as Beck applied pressure. On lap 24, he dove to the inside out of turn four, but could not make the pass. Schweizer was able to hang on to win by .218 seconds as Dimmitt and Fennewald were right behind. "These Stock Cars are always tough. We were fortunate tonight," Schweizer said.

  SEXTON GATLIN RACING CONVERGES ON PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY THIS SATURDAY

  (Lakeside, CA, August 18, 2023) Just back from last week's Minn-Kota Summer Nationals in Minnesota and North Dakota, Sexton Gatlin Racing is sending three cars to compete at the famous Perris Auto Speedway on Saturday night, August 19th. Heading the team is USAC/CRA Series Rookie of the Year point leader Grant Sexton. He is being joined by his brother Dalton and his father Brent. Grant will be competing in the USAC/CRA portion of the show while Dalton and Brent will be racing with the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprints. In his first full season racing 410 sprint cars, Grant, 19, has impressively clawed his way all the way up to seventh in the USAC/CRA championship point standings. Additionally, the rising young star has increased his advantage in the Rookie of the Year title chase to 311 points. With only six races remaining on the 2023 schedule after Saturday, the teen already has one hand on the Rookie of the Year trophy. Grant is a much different driver than he was at the start of the year as experience and confidence are shining through more and more each race. In the last two series races, he has had his best main event finish and first heat race win. The best finish was a fifth at the Bakersfield Speedway on June 24th and the heat race triumph came at Perris Auto Speedway on July 15th. Defending POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion Brent Sexton enters Saturday's fray third in series points. With the second-place driver ruled out for the year after a nonracing injury suffered on Thursday night, Brent will move up to the second-place spot on Saturday. He comes into the race 143 points behind the series leader. With five races to go after Saturday, he has plenty of time to hack away at the leader's advantage before the end of the season. In the first two SWLS races on the Perris half-mile this season, Brent has a win and a second-place finish. He has one other victory this year and that came at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway on April 1st. Rounding out SGR's effort at Perris will be Dalton Sexton. A contender for the SWLS title last year, Saturday will only be his fourth race of 2023. He placed third at Perris on April 15th and was 14th in the main event at the Imperial Valley Raceway on March 10th. His only other race this year came at the Mohave Valley Raceway on April 1st and he did not start the main event. The last two times USAC/CRA has raced at Perris, Brent made his first two starts in the series placing seventh and 18th. However, after the last race he sold the car he had been driving. He is currently in the market for a strong 410 engine. If you have one for sale or know of someone who does, you can email or phone Brent using the contact information in this release. Adult tickets to see SGR in action at Perris on Saturday are $30.00. For seniors 65 and over, it is $25.00. Kids six to twelve get in for just $5.00 and children five and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charges $10.00 for parking. Advanced tickets are available until noon on race day online at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 or by calling 1-800-595-4849.

  SHANE SEXTON FINALLY RETURNS TO PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY THIS SATURDAY

  (Warner Springs, CA, August 17, 2023) Four months after his terrifying crash, popular "Shugah" Shane Sexton will make his return to the Perris Auto Speedway and the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series this Saturday, August 19th. The young driver will be wheeling a brand new GAS Chassis car that has to be seen to be believed. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. and the racing action will kick off at 7:00. Sexton's last appearance at the track on April 15th was his only 410 start of the year. A horrific crash in the main event saw the young driver flip down the back straightaway getting as high as the top of the billboards. The car held up well and initially, Sexton felt okay. A subsequent trip to the hospital revealed that he had some fractured and compressed vertebrae. Since then he has only suited up for two races and both of those were in lightning sprint cars. He is chomping at the bit to get back in a fire-breathing 410 sprint car on Saturday. "I am real excited," the Warner Springs, California racer said on the phone on Thursday. "The new car went together smoothly. We fired it up and no leaks, no nothing. I am looking forward to it." The roll cage is a purple chrome. It is a really bright purple with a bass boat blue so there is some sparkle in there. Then we have chrome, white and purple graphics to go with it. All the sponsor logos are chrome so it is really going to pop out there. It is our house car (GAS Chassis Co.) so we wanted to make sure it is as nice as possible." Sexton's injuries from his April aeronautics exhibition have healed but he confirmed that there are some lasting reminders. "I have the normal soreness that comes with a broken back," he said. " Every morning when I get up I feel a little older than what I actually am. I have a new updated CASM seat mount system. That is going to help in the future to not have these problems." "It is an absorbing seat mount system," Sexton further explained. "So, when you flip all of the energy goes through what is basically rubber pucks. The seat system moves about a fraction of an inch and softens the crash so all of the energy does not go through your body. That is what breaks your vertebrae. It is a little expensive but it is definitely worth it to be able to walk after a crash." Earlier on the night of his devastating crash, Sexton drove the famous Mike Schweitzer #41 to a second-place finish in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car main. It was his best finish in four races this year. The plan is to race in all seven of the remaining USAC/CRA races in 2023. He is also hoping to pick up some lightning sprint car rides when he is not in the 410. Anything with four wheels he will drive. If you own a car and have an open seat, contact "Shugah" at the email or phone number below. Adult tickets for Saturday's show are $30.00. For seniors 65 and over, it is $25.00. Kids six to twelve get in for just $5.00 and children five and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charges $10.00 for parking. Advanced tickets are available until noon on race day online at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 or by calling 1-800-595-4849. For fans who do not wish to buy advance tickets, there will be plenty available for everyone at the ticket window on Saturday. Perris Auto Speedway is conveniently located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds (home of the Southern California Fair), one-hour east of Los Angeles and one-hour North of San Diego.

  Davenport proves super again, winning Camping World SRX Thursday Night Thunder finale at Lucas Oil Speedway in front of big crowd

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 17, 2023) - One of the biggest motorsports events in Ozarks-area racing history came to Lucas Oil Speedway on Thursday night and it did not disappoint - with a familiar face taking a trip to victory lane. Jonathan Davenport, putting on a display worthy of his nickname of "Superman," led all 90 laps to capture the Camping World SRX Thursday Night Thunder season finale in front of an estimated 8,000 roaring fans and countless others watching on ESPN. Davenport, one of the world premier Dirt Late Model drivers, won for the fifth time at Lucas Oil Speedway in 2023 adding to four Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series/Lucas Oil MLRA wins. The Blairsville, Georgia, native emerged from a thrilling battle with Clint Bowyer after a restart with 10 laps remaining that had the big crowd on its feet. Brad Keselowski rallied to finish second with Ken Schrader third and Ryan Newman, the 2023 Camping World SRX champion, taking fourth. "I'm speechless. This is awesome," said Davenport, a five-time World 100 winner and three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champion. "I was just out there pacing myself, trying to keep the edges on the tires and do dirt-guys stuff. "Man, this is an awesome experience. Thanks so much to SRX for giving me this opportunity and a chance to come out here and race with some of my heroes, legends and superstars. I'm just an ol' country boy from Georgia that runs dirt cars." The race was a battle between front-row starters Davenport and Bowyer throughout. Several times, after caution flags, Bowyer pulled underneath Davenport but could never make the pass. Just 10 laps from victory, the battle for the lead between those two was hot when a yellow flew for a spinning Ernie Francis Jr. That set it up for a sprint to the finish with a restart to remember featuring a wild sequence as Bowyer went full-send, tried to use a slide job to get around Davenport. Crossing in front of Davenport twice but without enough room to fully clear, Davenport gave Bowyer a bump off turn two and again off turn four. The second time saw Davenport regain the lead and cars going three and maybe four-wide as Bowyer lost momentum. "I didn't know Clint was gonna slide me up there or I'd have let go on across, but I hit him at the right time. I was already on the gas," Davenport said. "I knew he was gonna come back again, so I just lifted and somebody took us three-wide. At that point, with not many laps left, I'd done saved long enough." Keselowski, Schrader and Newman took advantage of the situation and got around Bowyer. But the drama wasn't over. With three laps to go, Bobby Labonte spun to bring out a caution and set up one more restart for Davenport to navigate. The 39-year-old took away the mystery and drove away for the win, beating former NASCAR Cup Series champ Keselowski by about five car lengths as the checkers flew, fireworks lit the sky and the enormous crowd cheered. "This has got to be way up there, just the versatile field that was here," Davenport said of where the win ranks on his lengthy list of dirt-track accomplishments. "I can't say enough about how many times I've watched these guys. Some are legends and some are gonna be superstars. "It's been a wonderful experience. I never dreamed that I would be up here winning a race. I just wanted to compete and put on a great show for these awesome fans." Davenport started up front after a strong showing in the two heats earned him the pole. He had a four-car-length lead over Bowyer when caution waved on lap 12. During a lengthy green-flag run, Davenport lapped Keselowski on lap 29 as he opened a two-second lead over Bowyer. It was well back to Andretti and Labonte in third and fourth when a competition caution on lap-34 slowed the action. As it turned out, Keselowski said he was saving his tires and expected a bigger drop off in grip than wound up occurring. "Once it got to the halfway point, I said 'I'd better go,'" Keselowski said. "Then Clint tried to pull the slide job and that didn't quite work out. "I thought for a minute there I might have something for Davenport, but I'm glad to be here and I want to thank everybody for coming out tonight." As the race hit the halfway mark on lap 45, Bowyer pulled alongside the leader off turn four but was unable to make the pass. Davenport kept fending off Bowyer and was able to gradually open up some breathing room when a lap-50 caution appeared. The Davenport-Bowyer duel resumed with the green as the pair were three seconds clear of the field. Helio Castroneves spun on lap 61 to bring out a caution and Bowyer fell back to fourth on the restart, with Andretti taking second. But Bowyer nudged his way around the defending series champ to regain second on lap 66. The battle for the lead between those two again heated up before a lap-75 yellow for Ernie Francis Jr., who spun in turn four. That set it up for a sprint to the finish with 10 to go when green-flag action resumed. What a wild sequence it was over the next two laps as Bowyer tried to slide job to around Davenport, but the leader was able to hang on with three-wide action bringing the fans to their feet. Meanwhile, Keselowski, Schrader and Newman took advantage of the situation and got around Bowyer. Newman clinched the series championship before the feature race went green. He entered the night with a 39-point lead and finishing 45 in front of the defending champ Andretti and Keselowski who tied for second. "It means a lot," Newman said of the championship. "Any kind of championship in any series and the Superstar Racing Experience, what can you say? Guys like TOny Stewart. Jonathan Davenport, who's won everything on dirt. Racing against Kenny Schrader, Kenny Wallace, it's just a whole lot of fun. Castroneves, an Indy Car champion and four-time winner. It's very special." Duvall wins Modified Invitational: Joe Duvall of Claremore, Okla., led all 20 laps to win the 20-car Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified Invitational. Duvall started on the pole after winning his heat race and opened a five-car-length lead over Peyton Taylor just four laps into the feature. Following a lap-five restart, Tad Davis slid past Taylor for second. Wheeler moved into contention on lap 11, powering his way to third behind Duvall and Taylor. Over the next several laps, the top three opened a two-second lead over Davis in fourth. Duvall was able to use an extended green-flag run to pull away late and earn the victory with Taylor just holding off Wheeler for the runner-up position. "The last restart I knew Peyton was on the outside of me and I heard him wind that big ol' motor up and ... I thought, well it's time to go," Duvall said. "He showed me something down in (turn) one and two and I had just enough momentum to sneak up there stay in front of him. Then, I guess I pretty dang good the rest of the race." Davis finished fourth with Paden Phillips recovering from an early spin to grab fifth.

  USAC/CRA SPRINT CARS HEADLINE ALL OPEN WHEEL RACING PROGRAM SATURDAY AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY

  (Perris, CA, August 15, 2023) Open wheel racing fans are in for a treat this Saturday night, August 19th, at Perris Auto Speedway. The track known as the "Southern California home of Major League Sprint Car Racing" will host an all-open wheel show headlined by the popular Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars presented by Heimark Distributors Anheuser Busch. Joining them will be the PAS Senior and Young Gun Sprints, and the winged POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Cars. In addition to the modern-day cars racing on the famous half-mile oval, the Western Racing Association will have a display of beautiful vintage race cars for fans to see as soon as they walk into the facility. Spectator gates for the night of thrilling dirt track racing and clean family fun will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Heading the list of entries in the USAC/CRA Series on Saturday will be Brody Roa. 2023 is the first year the veteran has not fielded his own equipment in the best traditional sprint car series west of the Mississippi. Driving for car owners Tom and Christy Dunkel, the Garden Grove, California native has dominated the first 13 races of the year by winning eight times. However, only two of his victories have come in the first five races of the year at Perris. That number should have been three wins, but late in the race on May 27th, he was clobbered by a lapped car and knocked out of competition. Roa, who became a father for the second time last month, enters Saturday's race with a commanding 151-point lead over Yucaipa's Tommy "Thunder" Malcolm. Malcolm has two wins on the year including one at Perris in the Salute to Indy on May 27th. The other two winners at The PAS in 2023 are Ion, California's Justin Grant, and Matt Mitchell of Yorba Linda. In a very tight race in The PAS Young Guns Sprint Cars (drivers age 14 - 25), the top five drivers are only separated by 19 points. Kyle Hendricks of Simi Valley heads the list with 283 points. New Cuyama's Elexa Herrera, who turned 18 last week, is second and is only seven points behind. Apple Valley 14-year-old Cash Culp is a single point behind Herrera. Defending series champion Stevie Rogers of Apple Valley and Brandon Nelson of Arroyo Grande are tied for fourth, 19 points behind the leader. Despite missing the season-opening race, Ed Schwarz of Santa Fe Springs, California took home the winner's trophy and took over the Senior Sprint point lead at the last race on July 15th. The talkative driver, who has been racing at Perris for over a decade, heads into Saturday's show with a 27-point advantage over 2022 champion Dale Gamer of Anaheim. Tustin's Bob Suchy, Chris Wakim of Simi Valley, and past champion Rick Hendrix of Palmdale round out the top five. The winged POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Cars Will be making their 3rd appearance of the year at Perris on Saturday. Defending series champion Brent Sexton of Lakeside captured the victory the first time the SWLS raced at The PAS this year on April 15th. A little over a month later, California Highway Patrol officer Jeff Dyer took the win in the 20-lap feature. Despite the two winners prowess at the track, the series point leader coming into Saturday is Lakeside, California's Cody Griggs. The personable driver, who was series Rookie of the Year in 2022, brings a 94-point lead over Dyer into Saturday's race. Sexton is third and is followed by Dyer's 16-year-old son, Seth "The God of Chaos" Dyer, and Chino's Pat Kelley. Adult tickets for Saturday's thrill-a-lap show are $30.00. For seniors 65 and over, it is $25.00. Kids six to twelve get in for just $5.00 and children five and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charges $10.00 for parking.

  CHANCE MEETING NETS SEXTON GATLIN RACING A MORE THAN QUARTER OF A CENTURY SPONSORSHIP

  (Lakeside, CA, July 31, 2023) The scene was the campground at Perris Auto Speedway during a World of Outlaws Sprint Car race over 25 years ago. Brent Sexton, still in the first half of his twenties, was a young race car driver. While only there to observe the action on the weekend, he did score a major win. Camped next to him at the track were brothers Jimmy and Scotty Keys. They quickly struck up a friendship that turned into a sponsorship that has carried on non-stop to this day. The Simi Valley, California-based brothers are separated by 165 miles from Sexton who lives in Lakeside, California. Now retired, the siblings were lighting technicians at NBC Universal. Spending time traveling the country in the entertainment industry, their off-time passion was racing and they immediately saw something they liked in the young driver. The rest is history. They first sponsored Sexton in lightning sprints. They expanded their sponsorship when both of Sexton's sons joined him in lightnings. Today, the Keys Brothers Racing logo appears on the Sexton's lightning sprint cars and the cars they race in the USAC/CRA Series. "We met at the World of Outlaws race at Perris and we just hit it off," Brent Sexton reminisced. "We hit it off when we were partying at the campground. It has been a long, great friendship. I told them I raced lightning sprints but at that time, I do not think they knew what that was." "They worked in the entertainment industry and traveled all over the country working on a lot of big movies," the talkable Sexton continued. "They are just huge racing fans. They have sponsored us every year. It is not just us. They sponsor Shane (Sexton's nephew Shane Sexton), Rickey Lewis, and AJ Bender. They are just big-time into it. They go to all of the sprint car races. Sprint cars are their passion." Sexton mentioned a handful of drivers but the Keys Brothers logo has appeared on other driver's cars as well. In addition, you always hear their name over the track's P.A. when funds have been collected for special bonus money for a race. They never stop giving. "They always told us to wait until we, 'hit the big time, we will still be helping you,'" Sexton explained. "You hear that from a lot of people and it does not pan out with most. But Jimmy and Scotty have stuck with us through all of these years. Their logo is on all of our cars. We feel so lucky to have them as sponsors but even more so as friends. They are just great people." Next week, Sexton Gatlin Racing will embark on a trip to Minnesota and North Dakota to compete in the 3rd Annual POWRi Minn-Kota Lightning Sprint Car Series Summer Nationals. Keys Brothers logos will be on the cars there. When that race is over, they will high tail it back to Southern California for a USAC/CRA race at Perris, and Keys Brothers logos will be on those cars as well. In fact, Keys Brothers will be a part of every race SGR competes in for years to come. If you or your company is interested in becoming a partner with Sexton Gatlin Racing in 2023, please call (619) 454-6945 or E-mail mailto:sextonfire@cox.net or mail to.

Other feature winners were Chase Galvin (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars), Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber Late Models), JC Morton (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Tom Charles in the special guest class Show-Me Vintage Racers. Action got underway about an hour late after a heavy thunderstorm rolled through about 5:30 p.m. Middaugh led all 25 laps of the feature as he started from the pole. Along with leading the points at Lucas Oil Speedway, he's also on top at his hometown Callaway Speedway's title chase and paces USRA Modified national points. Middaugh has 13 feature wins in 2023. "We've finally had some luck on our side," Middaugh said of his season. "Past years, just little things. Engine problems and stuff ... had been biting us. I'm just getting a better feel for this place it seems like. This place is tough. The competition is tough. "The car was good and the track was super fast after the rain. The redraw definitely played in my favor after a tore some stuff up in the heat race." Middaugh wasted no time sprinting from his pole-starting spot to open a half-straightaway led by lap three. That's when the event's first caution flew to wipe away Middaugh's 2.3-second lead over eighth-starter Austen Becerra with Tracy Wolf third. When action resumed, Middaugh needed only five laps to re-establish a 2.2-second lead over Becerra. By lap 15, Middaugh was going through lapped traffic and maintaining his margin as Jeff Cutshaw moved into third, but five-seconds behind Becerra. Middaugh was cruising along with a 2.3-second lead with three laps to go when a caution put some drama into the outcome. But Middaugh took away much of the mystery with a clean restart and he held off a final-lap charge to beat Becerra by .390 seconds or about two car lengths. "I wanted that caution to get out of lapped traffic, but then I didn't because one mistake and that Becerra, he's really fast and he's good," Middaugh said. "I knew he was gonna be chomping at the bit there to throw a slider into one. I had to make sure I didn't go over the cushion or anything." Cutshaw, the Lucas Oil Speedway track champion from 2014-17, finished third with Kerry Davis fourth and Jason Pursley fifth. Galvan earns USRA Stock Cars victory: Chase Galvan of Kansas City, Kan., held off William Garner and Waylon Dimmitt for his first feature victory of the season in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature. In his first visit to Lucas Oil Speedway, Galvan prevailed by three car lengths to deny Garner a second straight win, with Dimmitt third and season points leader Mason Beck coming home in fourth. "The last time we were out (at Lakeside Speedway) we rolled it over on its door," Galvan said of his race car. "So coming back and picking up a win at a track you've never been to is pretty cool." Front-row starters Garner and Galvan traded the lead on the first two laps, with Galvan forging his way in front to complete lap two. Those two stayed 1-2 the rest of the way with Beck and Dimmitt close behind in a four-car breakaway at the front. Dimmitt edged into third on lap 12 as Galvan continued to lead Garner by a half-second. As the battle for second continued, Galvan was able to gradually build his led to nearly a second by lap 16 and he held on from there in the caution-free 20-lapper. Wells scores eighth Late Models win: Justin Wells earned his eighth Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature win of the season, but what looked to be a comfortable drive wound up with some last-lap excitement. Wells nearly got tangled up with some lapped cars on the final circuit and Jace Parmley briefly passed him for the lead on the backstretch. But Wells, of Aurora, was able to drive around Parmley in the final turn to pick up the win. "I got pretty comfortable," Wells said. "I'll have to go back and look at lap times, but I guess I was slowing down pretty good. My guys were giving me signals and I quit watching them because I kind of thought there might be some sheet metal swapped. "They got together down here and I saw the blue car (Parmley). Jace Parmley, I talked about him the first of the year, that kid has a bright future. He does a good job. He was on way less equipment tonight due to shocks and springs. He drove the wheels off it." Wells set a blistering pace from the outset, blasting away from his front-row starting position to lead by 3.1 seconds over Parmley midway through the 20-lap feature. With action slowed by only one early caution, Wells got the win with the late scare making for a terrific finish as the margin - two seconds taking the white flag - was .620 seconds. Tucker Cox finished third with Larry Ferris fourth and Bryon Allison fifth. Morton picks up third USRA B-Mod triumph: JC Morton of Springfield took over the lead on lap five and held off a late charge from Colson Kirk for his third Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win of the season. Dayton Pursley, who recently won his first Lucas Oil Speedway feature, beat fellow front-row starter Morton to the lead and paced the first four laps. But Morton rode the high groove out of turn four to claim the point to finish lap five. "We had the fstart and I was on the bottom and was pretty disappointed," Morton said. "We drew a one and the outside was preferred. We raced with him and finally got a run on him and got to his outside. But for a lap or two, we raced pretty hard." Morton continued to lead Pursley through lapped traffic as the race hit the mid point, with Kirk right behind. Morton's lead was one second when the first caution, on lap 17, set up a three-lap shootout. Morton fired off a good restart and and held on to beat Kirk by .870 seconds. Stephen Clancy rallied into third, Jon Sheets was fourth and Pursley slipped back to fifth. Vintage Racers win goes to Charles: Tom Charles of Wolcott, Kan., made the winning pass with one lap remaining, going around race-long leader Jim Thorne, for the Show-Me Vintage Racers feature win. It was Charles' second SMVR victory of the season at Lucas Oil Speedway. He estimated it was somewhere around his 360th career feature victory in a variety of divisions. The car he was driving is owned by Thorne. "I grew up in Late Models. I drove Modifieds and I've driven Street Stocks, all that stuff," Charles said. "These are somewhere in between, but they are a lot of fun." Thorne paced the first opening laps from his fourth-starting position with Charles settling into second after a pair of early caution flags. Charles moved to the inside to challenge for the lead on lap six and the two ran side by side over the next four laps with Thorne clinging to the lead. Brian Cox closed in on the dueling leaders to make it a three-way battle with two laps to go. Finally, Charles forged his way into the lead coming to the white flag and he held off Thorne by a car length. Cox spun after he and Thorne made contact on the final lap and did not finish. The Fan Appreciation Night program was run in honor of Mickey Fleehart, the president of the SMVR prior to his passing earlier this year.

  JEFF DYER CONTINUES TO IMPRESS IN THE USAC/CRA SERIES

  (Yucca Valley, CA, July 25, 2023) After his lifetime best 10th place finish in the USAC/CRA Series at the Bakersfield Speedway on June 24th, Jeff Dyer returned to the series on his home track, Perris Auto Speedway, and again raised eyebrows until running out of fuel late in the 30-lap main event. When he was forced to pull into the infield, he was on his way to his second top-10 finish in a row. Despite temperatures skyrocketing to 103 degrees on race day, 25 teams and a decent crowd showed up to watch the premiere wingless sprint car series west of the Mississippi. As always, qualifying was the first thing on the agenda at the "Southern California Home of Major League Sprint Car Racing." Dyer put the brilliant yellow #39 through its paces and pulled off a lap of 17.138. That was good enough for the 13th-best of the 24 cars who recorded laps in qualifying. Dyer, a California Highway Patrol Officer who calls Yucca Valley home, began his heat race in fifth and finished the 10-lapper in seventh. Dyer started the 30-lap main in the 12th position. Early on he was fast and advanced forward. However, the race had been plagued by yellow flags. With five laps to go, he was challenging for 10th when he slowed dramatically, pulled off the track in turn three, and drove back to his pit. Unfortunately due to the early yellows, he had run out of fuel. Dyer came away from Perris 19th in the USAC/CRA standings. He is only two points out of 18th and 12 out of 17th. This week will be a little different for Dyer Motorsports. Jeff is not racing, but his 16-year-old son Seth will be competing in a Beingesser Motorsports go-kart with the SoCal Dirt Karts at Perris Auto Speedway. One week later on August 5th, Jeff and Seth will both be racing in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series at the Barona Speedway in San Diego County. Two weeks after that, they will travel north to race in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series portion of the Johnny Key Classic at the Ocean Speedway in Watsonville. It will also be round #2 of the annual Civil War Series pitting the CLS vs Northern California's Bay Cities Racing Association. Round #1 of the series took place at the Bakersfield Speedway on the first Saturday in June. Jeff won that race and will head into round #2 of the series as the point leader. As pictured, the new Dyer Motorsports team shirts are now available. You can pick one up in the pits after the races or you can order via email at mailto:dyermotorsports4@gmail.com Jeff is racing in memory of his grandparents, Glenn, and Beverly Sels, throughout the 2023 season. Jeff would like to thank the following for making the 2023 racing campaign possible in the #4 and 4Jr Lightning Sprint Cars. Dependable Machine Inc., Haircuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, LBA Investigations, and Dyer Motorsports. For the USAC/CRA #39 sprint car, Straight Time Stirrups, Dependable Machines Inc., Hair Cuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, Justice Brothers, and Specialty Fasteners helped put him on the track.

  GRANT SEXTON CAPTURES HIS FIRST-EVER USAC/CRA HEAT RACE WIN

  (Lakeside, CA, July 25, 2023) The last time the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars visited Perris Auto Speedway, leading rookie Grant Sexton achieved another first in his budding career when he won his first series heat race. The victory in the 10-lapper came hot on the heels of his first series top-five finish when he placed fifth at the Bakersfield Speedway on June 24th. At Perris, Sexton was joined by his father Brent in Sexton Gatlin Racing-owned cars on the sizzling California night. The father and son duo met up with a stellar field of 23 other racers at the track located 70 miles east of Los Angeles. Grant, who turned 19 years old the day after the race, launched his night with a fine 17.190 lap in qualifying. That was the 13th fastest of the 25 cars on hand. Brent, using a 360 cubic inch engine against the field of 410s, stopped the clocks at 18.217. That was the 17th quickest on the night. Grant's milestone heat win came in the first 10-lapper. He started on the outside of the front row. Coincidentally, Brent was in the exact same heat race and started shotgun on the field in eighth. Once starter Steve Russell threw the green flag to send the field on its way, Grant immediately jumped into the lead. The teen hit his marks throughout the race and led every inch of the way for his initial heat victory in the series. Brent, a 50-year-old native of Tennessee who was contesting his second USAC/CRA event, advanced one spot to finish seventh. The Lakeside, California-based team was looking good going into the 30-lap main event. However, it did not take long before things started to head south. At 3:00 p.m. the temperature at the famous track was a sizzling 103 degrees. While it did cool down some before the main event, it was still hot. Brent, who finished seventh in his first race in the series five weeks earlier, started the main in the 22nd spot. He was poised and ready to make another charge through the pack. However, the heat combined with a plethora of yellow flags early in the race saw his engine get hot. Rather than risk blowing it up, he wisely decided to leave the race after 19 laps and ended up with an 18th-place finish. While it was a disappointing conclusion, in both of his USAC/CRA starts he has advanced forward. Three laps after Brent pulled off, Grant's night ended prematurely when another car tangled with him coming off turn four. Unfortunately, damage to the right rear, while not heavy, was enough to knock him out of the race. He started the main in 13th and ended up 16th bringing an end to the night for Sexton Gatlin Racing. Even though Grant was not on the track for the final eight laps of the main, he still managed to maintain his seventh spot in the series championship standings. He also extended his lead to 311 points in the Rookie of the Year chase. There is a race coming up on August 5th for the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Cars at the Barona Speedway. Normally, SGR would be there. This time the team may forgo that event. Two days later they are headed out for the four-race 3rd Annual POWRi Minn-Kota Lightning Sprint Car Series Summer Nationals in Minnesota and North Dakota. The last thing the team wants to do is tear up a car two days before they leave. After the finale of the Minn-Kota Nationals on Sunday, August 13th, Sexton Gatlin Racing will hightail it back to California for the August 19th USAC/CRA race at Perris Auto Speedway. Grant will be racing that one for sure. However, the team sold the #22X Brent had been driving. Right now, SGR is looking to buy a 360 or 410 engine or a turn-key car to race in the USAC/CRA Series and USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series.

  Garner grabs USRA Stock Cars victory in Lucas Oil Speedway featured class; Kirk, Pursley, Wells also prevail

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 22, 2023) - William Garner broke through for his first Lucas Oil Speedway O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win of the season Saturday night. Garner, of Lebanon, grabbed the lead with a huge opening lap and paced all 25 circuits to earn the $750 victory. Other feature winners on Ozarks Food Harvest Food Drive Night at the Races Presented by OzarksFirst.com were - Terry Kirk (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds), Dayton Pursley (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber Late Models). Garner soared from sixth to first on the opening lap. As cars in front of him shuffled out of turn two, Garner shot through a gap in the middle to pick up five positions in a hurry. By lap five, Garner had a 1.3-second lead over Ellis with season points leader Mason Beck in third. Beck passed Ellis the next time around and set his sights on Garner. Garner's lead held steady to just under two seconds until a caution on lap 12 wiped out that gap. Beck lost a position after the restart to Ellis as Garner led the way by five car lengths. As Beck regained second by lap 18, Garner's lead was 1.5 seconds. He cruised from there to earn his first feature win of the season at Lucas Oil Speedway, beating Beck by 2.1 seconds. "I was just trying to hit my marks each lap," Garner said. "I thought I gave it up a couple of times, but I think we're finally working with something. We've been struggling the last couple of weeks and we finally have something to work with." Garner posted his ninth top-five finish of the season as he began the night 82 points behind Beck. Ellis came home in third, with Waylon Dimmitt fourth and Johnny Fennewald fifth after starting 10th. Kirk goes wire-to-wire in USRA Modifieds: Terry Kirk of Urbana started up front and wired the field, leading all 20 laps to outdistance season points leader Ryan Middaugh for the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified victory. Kirk, with his first win in four years at Lucas Oil Speedway, finished 2.8 seconds in front of Middaugh in a caution-free event. While his son Colson Kirk won at Lucas Oil Speedway a month ago in a USRA B-Mod, this was Terry's first trip to victory lane in a long while. "It's the first time I've won one here in 10 or 15 years," Terry Kirk said. "It's been a long time since I won a race and I'm glad to do it." Middaugh advanced from fifth to second in just two laps, but trailed Kirk by 1.3 seconds. Kirk added on to his margin over the next few laps, with a 2.3 lead by lap seven and 2.6 by the midpoint. With the racing clicking along without any cautions, Kirk kept pouring it on from there to win by a comfortable margin. Jason Pursley finished third with Shad Badder fourth and Tracy Wolf in fifth. Young Pursley earns B-Mod triumph: Second-generation driver Dayton Pursley of Hermitage out-dueled veteran JC Morton and went on to capture his first feature win in the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods. The son of long-time local USRA Modified competitor Jason Pursley lead 18 of the 20 laps to earn the memorable triumph, beating Morton by 1.7 seconds after a terrific early-race duel. "First off, I want to thank the good Lord above for getting me here in the first place," Pursley said in victory lane. "Second, I want to thank my dad, my mom and my girlfriend. Just this Lucas Oil facility, everything is top notch. I don't even know" what to say. Pursley led the way through the opening lap, but Morton took to the high side to grab the top spot on lap two. Then it was Pursley's return to re-take the top spot on lap four. Over the next few laps, those two front-row starters waged a side-by-side battle with Pursley riding the low groove and holding off the cushion-riding Morton with Bobby Williams a second behind in third. Pursley's lead was one second and steadily increasing at the midway point. Pursley's main issue from there was picking his way through lapped traffic, which he was able to do and he wound up 1.7 seconds clear of Morton. Williams hung on for third with Cody Brill fourth and Jon Sheets finishing fifth. Wells makes it seven Late Model wins: Justin Wells dominated all 20 laps, picking up his seventh Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature win of the season. Wells, of Aurora, beat Larry Ferris and JC Morton after a late caution led to a one-lap shootout at the finish. "I was watching that scoreboard and I knew that as multi-grooved as this track was, I figured JC would be up there busting the cushion," Wells said. "So I moved around there and found a little bit more speed. "Hats off to Lucas Oil Speedway. This track, as a racer, that's what you want to see. Any place you wanted to be, you could run." Wells started on the pole and wasted no time opening a comfortable lead. Just five laps into the 20-lapper, he was 1.6 seconds in front of Morton with Ferris running third. Those three broke away with a wide gap to fourth-place Bryon Allison by the halfway mark. Wells weaved his way through lapped traffic as the race stayed green until a lap-12 caution as he avoided a pair of spinning cars on the front stretch to bring out the first yellow. Ferris moved past Morton as the green flew with Morton soon regaining second. Meanwhile, Wells checked out on everyone. He was 2.7 seconds in front of Morton by lap 15 and pulling away. Wells had the checkers nearly in sight when a three-car melee brought out the caution on the white-flag lap. That wiped out a 4.4-second lead and gave Morton and Ferris a final shot. The restart was no problem for Wells, who beat Ferris by 1.2 seconds with Morton right behind. Cole Henson finished fourth and Tucker Cox was fifth.

  North Dakota's Johnson captures Legends feature while Kade and Beck also win at Lucas Oil Speedway's Thursday Night Madness

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 20, 2023) - Sean Johnson of Kindred, N.D., grabbed the lead on lap 14 and never gave it back, taking the INEX Legends feature during a special Thursday Night Madness program at Lucas Oil Speedway. Johnson, who started sixth in the 31-car field, picked up $500 for the victory, including $200 from "Racing for a Cause" organizer Warren Ropp. Other feature winners were Tanner Kade (POWRi Midwest Mods) and Mason Beck (POWRi Pure Stocks). A total of 74 checked into the pits in the three divisions, including 31 Legends. The night didn't begin in ideal fashion for Johnson. He spun at the start of his heat race and had to restart in the back of the eight-car field, but was able to rally for the victory and earn a feature starting spot up front. "I drove it into turn one a little too hard and ended up pointing backwards, the wrong way," Johnson said. "I thought my night could be done, but we went out for hot laps to begin the night and I told my brother we have a really good piece here. "I drove it back through the field and won the heat. That took me by surprise. It's a lot of fun when you pass that many cars." Justin Comer beat Jordan Miklas in the battle of front-row starters to the lead on the opening lap. Milklas was supplanted for second on lap four by Johnson, who began his chase of Comer. Those two were separated by only a quarter-second by lap seven, as Comer continued to set the pace. But Johnson was right on the back side of Comer's car at lap 11 and he edged past Comer and into the lead for the first time on lap 14. A caution flag flew the next time around, but Johnson held on from there once action resumed and went on to beat seventh-starting Michael Weber by .602 seconds. Johnson, who made a 10-hour haul to make the event, said the track changed considerably from the heat to the feature. "There was a lot of water, actually standing in the corners, in the heat and we couldn't run down there," Johnson said. "But the other classes burned that off and we had a really good track on the bottom. It started taking rubber pretty fast with as many legends as we had for the feature." Comer finished third with Tommy Quenzer fourth and Miklas in fifth. "Justin Comer is the class of the field down here in Missouri," Johnson said. "Then you have the guys from Iowa that run good everywhere they go. To hold them off is pretty good." Kade captures Midwest Mods feature: Fourth-starting Tanner Kade took over the lead on lap four and led the rest of the way, capturing the POWRi Midwest Mods feature. He beat Scott Campbell by 2.6 seconds after opening a four-second lead in the late stages. Kade, of Hermitage, took home $300 for earning his first Lucas Oil Speedway victory and fifth overall feature win of the season. Steve Muilenburg started on the pole and he beat outside front-row starter Jacob Hall to the lead into lap one. Kade advanced into second by lap two with Campbell third before the first caution flew on lap three. Kade took the lead away from Muilenburg on the restart with Campbell moving into second on lap seven as Kade had a three-quarter-second lead when a lap eight caution slowed the action. As green-flag racing resumed, Kade opened up 2.9-second lead by lap 13 over Campbell. He began to pour in on from there as Pete Richardson moved into third, but Kade was able to roll to a four-second command by lap 16. The winner was 2.6 seconds clear of Campbell at the finish with Richardson finishing third, Hall fourth and Muilenburg coming home in fifth. Pure Stocks win goes to Beck on final lap: Seventh-starting Mason Beck of Urbana made a late charge, executing a last-lap pass of race-long leader Robbie Jones to win the POWRi Pure Stocks feature. Beck, the speedway's championship leader in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Car division, ran fourth most of the race before charging in the final four laps. It was not a new script for Beck. He recently won a Stock Cars feature on the last lap and feels comfortable near the end of a feature. "I always try to get there quicker than that, but I try to save my stuff," Beck said after the $300 win. "I just try to keep my tires cooled down where if we have a caution I can set myself in a position to chomp the lead." Jones set the pace from the beginning as he started on the pole and held a 1.2-second lead over Payton McDowell when the event's first caution, on lap 12, slowed the action and set up a restart with eight to go. Jones and Bradley McDowell came across the start-finish line side by side to conclude lap 13. Payton McDowell jumped back to second the next time around with Jones settling into a three-car-length lead. Beck suddenly got into contention as he was running third by lap 16.

  USRA Modified portion of Camping World SRX Thursday Night Thunder to be a non-points invitational

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 20, 2023) - Due to the unique nature of the Camping World SRX Thursday Night Thunder coming to Lucas Oil Speedway on Aug. 17, the supporting class for the event will have an invitational format. Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton has announced that the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds will be a Speedway Invitational. Track officials will select 20 drivers from the Modified class and those drivers will receive an invitation to participate in the $1,000-to-win Modified feature. "Because the Modifieds run early, there is a chance some drivers in the points standings might not be able to make it and I don't want them to lose points, so it will be an invitational with no track or USRA national points," Lorton said. The tentative schedule calls for USRA Modifieds hot laps at 2:10 p.m., heat races at 5 p.m. with the feature at 6:15. Track prep for the SRX portion of the show is set for 6:45 p.m. with the ESPN live telecast beginning promptly at 8.

Also on hand will be four-time Indy 500 winer Helio Castroneves, plus reigning SRX Champion Marco Andretti and fellow Indy-car driver Paul Tracy and Trans-Am champion Ernie Franics Jr. The series will pit the drivers against one another in identically prepared cars with points accumulated in each of the six events. Tickets for the SRX event are $35 in advance and $40 at the gate (ages 16 and over). Kids (ages 6-15) will be $20 with ages 5-and-under free. Advance tickets can now be purchased via Stubwire.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Dimmitt enjoying breakthrough season in USRA Stock Cars

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 19, 2023) - No matter what happens the rest of the season, Waylon Dimmitt will go in the books as one of Lucas Oil Speedway's breakout drivers in the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series. Dimmitt already has three victories in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Car division and eight overall in 21 events at regional tracks. Last year, he scored only one feature win in 41 attempts and that came on opening night at Dallas County Speedway. "I've been really pleased," Dimmitt said of his 2023 results. "Last year we really struggled. We picked up a win the first night and never could get the car like we wanted it. The car's got better and I've grown a lot this year as a driver. It's been an awesome season so far." Dimmitt, of Camdenton, will look to add another victory on Saturday night when the USRA Stock Cars headline Ozarks Food Harvest Food Drive Night Presented by OzarksFirst.com, with a $750-to-win, 25-lap feature. Fans bringing four non-perishable food items will be admitted free. Even with this season's success, it seems that there's still plenty of upside for Dimmitt, who's in a home-built chassis that he and brother Darrell Hurt put together before last season. "We're still till learning on it every time we go out," Dimmitt said, calling the car-building experience "a lot of fun." "I think building them is as much fun as driving them," Dimmitt added. "My brother also races Stock Cars. He's a genius when it comes to that stuff. We built our own Pure Stocks before and when I asked him if he wanted to help me build a Stock Car we just kind of went from there." Dimmitt, 31, is in his fourth season of racing. He was a little later than most to catch the racing bug. He grew up in Illinois and, while he had a cousin who raced Modifieds at the time, he never was much for going to the track. "I moved down here in 2019 and we went to Lake Ozark Speedway and watched some sprint cars," Dimmitt said. "Ever since then, I've had an itch for it." Dimmitt began driving Pure Stock, then competed in B-Mods for a season. The last two years, he's found a home in the USRA Modified class. "I had a pretty good run in Pure Stocks, but I just like the way the full-body cars drive a little better," he said. "It's a little closer racing. You can rub a little bit without tearing up as much. "The set-up is not quite as critical as in a B-Mod or A-Mod. There's a little less adjusting to do between races. You kind of go out there and drive it and change your driving style to fit the track." Dimmitt is fifth in Lucas Oil Speedway points, despite missing four races. When he's been at the track, he's been ultra-consistent with the trio of wins and going 9-for-9 in top-five finishes. He's ninth in USRA Stock Car national points. "I would really like to finish top-5 in national points and wait for USRA Nationals to come back to Lucas and have a good run there," he said of looking ahead to October's Summit USRA Nationals at Wheatland. "I thought last year's Nationals was awesome. It was kind of cool going out there running with the best of the best and watching what they do. "I'm pretty excited for this year. We had a real good run last year until a couple of laps to go and got taken out. So we hope for better this year." Dimmitt does nearly all the weekly maintenance on the car himself, but credits Colson Kirk and Bryan Larimore for their set-up expertise. Team sponsors include The Butcher Shop of Camdenton, KMH Contracting, Yeoman Race Engines, Dirt Track Specialist, Hulett Chevrolet, B&B, Dependable Towing and Ozark Custom Apparel. In addition to the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds, Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and Hermitage Lumber Late Models will be in action on Saturday. The Midwest Muscle Car Club also will be attending as they display their cars on the midway prior to the action and through intermission.

  Legends, Midwest Mods and Pure Stocks set for Thursday Night Madness at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 17, 2023) - Weeknight racing returns to Lucas Oil Speedway with a special Thursday Night Madness program with three unique divisions of cars scheduled to tackle the dirt oval. The INEX Legends Cars, POWRi Midwest Mods and POWRi Pure Stocks will be in action. The Midwest Mods and Pure Stocks will run for $300-to-win and the Legends' winner will earn $500. Pit Gates open at 4 p.m. with spectator gates at 5. Hot laps begin at 6:30 with racing at 7:05. "We're pleased to have the special guests classes coming in to race on Thursday night in what should be a fun program for the fans and the drivers," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "The Legend cars came in a year ago and put on a great show and it's always competitive racing when we have the Midwest Mods and Pure Stocks." The Legend cars are particularly unique as they make their lone appearance of the season. The Legends are scaled-down versions of 1934 or '37 Fords or '37 Chevrolets, coupes or sedans. The cars may look similar to some of the Vintage cars that have competed at Lucas Oil Speedway, but they are different. "These cars are made to be equal," said Dave Comer of Joplin, who races and is parts dealer for the cars in addition to promoting the Legend cars. "It comes down to set-up or driver. Nobody is gonna out-money you. Every part you put on is the same as the other guy's got." Carson Brown of New London, N.C., won the Legends feature at Lucas Oil Speedway last July, holding off Dawson Sutton of Lebanon, Tenn., with Keelan Harvick of Charlotte, N.C., in third. A field of 34 cars was on hand and Comer expects a similar count this time, though young Harvick, son of NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick, is spending much of this summer racing in Europe. "I know we have a couple coming from Montana and possibly North Dakota," Comer said, noting this weekend marks the Missouri Iron Man weekend with action at Electric City Speedway in Butler on Friday and Saturday at Springfield Raceway also on the Legends schedule. Comer said some drivers to watch include Justin Comer, the winner of the Legend Dirt Nationals the last two years, Tyler Garretson from Centerville, Arkansas who was fourth in nationals last year and Jay Reynolds out of Springfield, a multiple-feature winner this season at Springfield Raceway. An added attraction on Thursday will be "Racing for a Cause" organized by Warren Ropp, a Legends racer out of Kalona, Iowa. Ropp will be organizing a "Back the Blue" donations drive on race night to benefit families of fallen law enforcement officers. Comer said the names of fallen officers will be on each Legend car as a tribute. Ropp also is adding money to the prize fund for the Legends, boosting the feature winner to $500 from the original $300. Formed in 1995, INEX was developed to promote, organize and sanction Legend Cars and Bandoleros for the United States, Canada, Australia, Asia and Europe. Since then INEX has expanded tremendously, running sanction races in Africa, Australia, Morocco and many other countries. INEX is the third-largest racing sanctioning body behind NASCAR and International Motor Contest Association (IMCA) with more than 3,500 members. INEX annually sanctions more than 2,500 races at more than 300 different tracks throughout the world. Thursday Night Madness admission: Advance Discount Tickets online only (16 and up) - $12 Adults (16 and up) - $15 Seniors/Military (62 and up) - $12 Youth (6-15) - $5 Kids (5 and under) - FREE Family Pass - $35 Pit Pass - $35 Ozarks Food Harvest Food Drive Night on Saturday: Racing continues on Saturday when it's Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing for Ozarks Food Harvest Food Drive Night Presented by KY3.

  'Superman' soars: Dominant Davenport earns fourth CMH Diamond Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 15, 2023) - The rest of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series is on alert. "Superman" is heating up. Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, Ga., picked up his 71st career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory Saturday night - and second straight - capturing the 17th annual CMH Diamond Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment. Davenport, who has earned the super hero nickname for his extended excellence in the sport, took home $15,000 and a diamond ring. He final the final 45 of 50 laps in his Longhorn race car and beat Devin Moran by 1.466 seconds for his fourth Diamond Nationals win and fourth Lucas Oil Speedway victory in 2023. More important, Davenport said he's settling into a winning rhythm after some inconsistent stretches early in the season left him lagging behind in the LOLMDS points chase. "We were stuck in our ways for a long time at the beginning of the year," Davenport said, noting the first portion of the season didn't measure up to his tremendous 2022 season of 24 feature wins and around $1 million in prize money. "That's the way this dirt late model racing goes. You can get too complacent and everybody catches up. "We went to work and normally that's what happens. You learn a whole lot more what not to do than what to do. But the guys never gave up on me. We've all been putting our heads together and we finally stumbled on some things that I like, so maybe we can keep it rolling from this." Davenport also won both preliminary nights of the Show-Me 100 in late May and the Lucas Oil MLRA Spring Nationals in early April. This time, he had a mighty scare late en route to the latest win at Wheatland. Davenport opened a three-second lead over Thornton by lap 37 when a caution for a slowing Spencer Hughes wiped out his lead, which at one time was four seconds. That set up a 13-lap shootout with Moran, Brandon Overton and Justin Duty following. Davenport executed a flawless restart and used clean air to quickly open a 1.1-second lead over Thornton with 10 laps to go. Thornton moved to the high groove, but lost another half-second to the leader, before he moved back to the inside in a search to cut into the lead. On lap 47, Davenport's lead more 2.5 seconds when he slightly clipped the slowing lapped car of Dustin Hodges on the front straightaway as Hodges turned to the infield. The scare was brief as Davenport was able to dodge the incident relatively unscathed and hang on for a 1.4-second victory over Moran with Thornton finishing third. "I couldn't believe it, really," Davenport said. "I messed up and he got away from me the lap before. I thought I could hug the bottom there and he would slide up again and I could get a good run on him. I don't know if something broke on his car. He might have seen the layover flag and he was just gonna pull off and turned left and I didn't have anywhere to go. "Luckily, my right front was far enough ahead of him that I didn't touch wheels with him and I didn't cut the right-rear down." Moran, who won the Show-Me 100 when Thornton was disqualified in post-race inspection, was able to make a last-lap pass to nab the runner-up spot. "Our Double Down Motorsports Longhorn was really good again," Moran said. "That's three seconds in a row. It's good to be up front, but I feel like I get on these second streaks and it sucks sometimes. "Congratulations to JD. He did a really good job. I just got held up in lapped traffic a little bit. All in all, the car was really good tonight." As for his strong showings at Lucas Oil Speedway this season, Moran said he's aware that his Show-Me 100 win has an asterisk. "We finished second here the first time, too. We're getting better and better and we passed Ricky tonight and the last time we were here, he checked out on us," Moran said. "I never really had a great track record here. I will say the track was awesome tonight. We raced all over it. Thornton settled for third with Overton finishing fourth and Chris Simpson fifth. Davenport took over the lead on lap five after Overton paced the early going. Davenport advanced from fourth to second by lap three and was challenging for the lead - and taking it - with and outside pass coming to the completion of lap six. Just three laps later, Davenport was ahead by 1.1 seconds and catching lapped traffic. Overton closed to the rear of Davenport's car by lap 15 with Moran just behind them as the top three were separated by a second as the race settled into a lengthy green-flag run. Suddenly, Davenport seemed to kick it up a notch and by lap 22 opened a 1.4-second lead over Moran with Overton slipping to third and Thornton in fourth. By lap 30, Davenport's lead had expanded to 3.3 seconds over Thornton, with Moran third and Overton falling to fourth.

  Local fan favorite McCowan looks for more Late Model rookie success at CMH Diamond Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 13, 2023) - The last time Dillon McCowan brought his Late Model to Lucas Oil Speedway, he opened eyes while mixing it up at the front with some of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series' best in the 31st annual Show-Me 100 Presented by the Missouri Division of Tourism. The 19-year-old Late Model rookie from nearby Urbana thrilled the local fans by winning qualifying heat races each of the first two nights before running sixth in the 100-lap finale. While he didn't win, McCowan certainly earned respect and showed he belonged. It meant a ton to his confidence and, while maintaining his lead in the Lucas Oil MLRA Sunoco Rookie of the Year chase, he's also branched out to run some more national-tour events since. "That weekend definitely opened our eyes and let us know we can do this," McCowan said of the Show-Me 100 experience. "We can have good runs with these guys and be up in the front. It takes a little luck. We ran out of fuel on white-flag lap. I think we would have ended up crossing the checkers in fifth, but ran out of fuel and ending up barely making it across. "I was super proud of my guys. They busted their butts and put me a good car out there. It was definitely a fun weekend." McCowan returns to Wheatland this Saturday looking to create more memories and momentum at the 17th annual CMH Diamond Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment. The co-sanctioned Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA event pays $15,000-to-win with a diamond ring also to the winner. "I've definitely been looking forward to this race and we're excited for it," McCowan said. "The car's been running really good here lately. The team is really coming together and I'm ready to get back over there. "If someone had told me back in January we'd have had the year we've had, I don't know if I'd have believed them. It's definitely been an amazing year, more than i ever expected. I knew we could do it, but it's been really good. I've been very thankful for the year we've had and the help we've had. "My guys have been working hard to put me in the best car out on the track. It's been really exciting. I've been looking forward to this my entire life and here we are now, out living the dream." McCowan said his confidence grows a bit more each time he competes with the Lucas Oil Late Model Series drivers. Last weekend, the team made the long haul to Minnesota for the three-night Gopher 50 and he was able to make the big show through a B-Main. He wound up 21st after getting caught up in an accident. The two time Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA B-Mod track champion and two-time Lucas Oil Speedway Most Popular Driver said veteran Late Model drivers have been nothing but "super cool and welcoming" to him. "It's really fun getting to race with those guys and learn. It makes me a better driver," McCowan said. "They may not know they're teaching me, but every time we hit the track they're teaching me something new." McCowan also is learning from Tim Douglas, who came aboard as crew chief at the Show-Me 100. Douglas had previously worked with veteran Late Model drivers Jason Papich and Tony Jackson Jr. "When Tim came on board, it definitely helped me a lot and helped our program," McCowan said. "He brings lots of knowledge. He's been there and done that and has helped me with driving, set-up on the car and everything like that." McCowan, who has aspirations to someday run the Lucas Oil Late Model Series full-time, said he's eager to hear his fans cheer on Saturday and calls their support something that's hard to put a price on. "The support over there when we go to Wheatland is second to none. That's our hometown track right there and we definitely like to put on a good show for them," he said. "When they're out there cheering, it means the world to me. It makes it 10 times more fun to put on a good show for them." Support classes on Saturday night will find the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds gunning for a top prize of $1,000 to win and the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars will chase a $750 first prize.

  Morton earns second straight USRA B-Mod victory in Lucas Oil Speedway headliner as Beck, Ferris, Johnson also pick up wins

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 8, 2023) - JC Morton made it two straight Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature wins at Lucas Oil Speedway, capturing the headliner of Saturday night's Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series action. Morton, of Springfield, led all 25 wins to take home the $750 victory, holding off Andy Bryant throughout. Other feature winners on Veterans and Military Appreciation Night Presented by Townsquare Media and KIX 105.7 FM were Mason Beck (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars), Larry Ferris (Hermitage Lumber Late Models) and Matt Johnson (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds). Morton jumped to the lead from the pole position, but third-starting Bryant quickly pulled alongside on lap two and those two dueled it out for the first portion of the race. Sticking to the high groove, Morton repelled Bryant until finally securing near a one-second lead by lap 10 with Terry Schultz running third and Jon Sheets fourth. As Morton led the faster cars into lapped traffic, he was able to widen the lead to 1.3 seconds in just three laps with Bryant a similar amount in front of Schultz. Morton was cruising with the lead still 1.3 seconds when the first caution flew on lap 18 due to a four-car pileup in turn two. That set up a single-file restart with seven laps left to decide the outcome. Morton executed a flawless restart and drove away for the victory, finishing 1.1 seconds in front of Bryant with Sheets third, Schultz fourth and Brian Bolin fifth. "I got the jump on Schultz early and got to the top. I figured that's where those Stock Cars were," Morton said. "Then it looked like me and Andy raced side by side for the first 12 or 15 laps. I kept seeing his nose down there and finally, with the long green run, I got away from him right before lapped traffic." Morton said he didn't really mind the caution because he was fighting to get around a lapped car at the time. "The caution gave me fresh, clean air and I just had to hit my marks at that point," Morton said. Beck earns fourth Stock Cars victory: O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars points leader Mason Beck of Urbana made the winning pass coming to the white flag and held on to beat Ed Griggs for his fourth feature win of the Lucas Oil Speedway season. Griggs started on the pole and opened up 1.2-second lead over Colton Bourland six laps into the race with Beck in third. By lap 10, Beck pulled alongside Bourland as the leader maintained his margin entering lapped traffic. The third-starting Beck made the pass for second on lap 15, but in a caution-free race he still trailed Griggs by 1.5 seconds. He quickly cut into the deficit and pulled right behind the leader with two to go. As the duo came to the white flag, Beck used the inside groove to take the lead out of turn four. Beck held on from there to win by three car lengths over Griggs, with Bourland finishing third, Waylon Dimmitt fourth and Johnny Fennewald fifth. "I was kind of worried at the beginning, but when I got up to third I knew if I could get around the 2 car (Bourland) that I'd have a good shot at catching him," Beck said. Ferris captures Late Model triumph: Larry Ferris grabbed the lead on lap five and drove away for his third Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature victory of the season, outdistancing Tommy Cordray and Tucker Cox. Season points leader Justin Wells drove around the outside of Bryon Allison coming out of turn four to complete lap two for the lead. A lap later, the race's first caution came out for a pair of spinning cars in turn two. As the race returned to green, Wells' car suddenly slowed going into turn two and Allison seized the lead. But it didn't last long as Ferris took over the top spot on lap five and started to open up a sizable margin over Cox and Allison. Ferris was leading Cox by 1.5 seconds when Allison spun in turn four to bring out the caution on lap nine. Meanwhile, 13th-starting JC Morton was flying on the high side through the field and was up to third. Morton briefly made it into second after the restart, but slipped over the cushion in turn three and fell back to fourth. Ferris took advantage and opened a 2.3-second lead over Cox by lap 14 with Cordray third and Morton still in fourth. Ferris kept stretching the lead from there and wound up beating Cordray by 2.8 seconds. Cox wound up third, Morton fourth and Allison rallied for fifth. "Bryan Larimore and Dave Collins have worked on this car for a month straight, trying to get this thing straightened out," Ferris said. "We've been fighting gremlins all season and we finally got 'em figured out I think and it's all due to Bryan Larimore." Johnson cruises to USRA Modified win: Matt Johnson of Archie took over the lead on lap five and dominated from there, outdistancing Ryan Middaugh for his third Lucas Oil Speedway Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature win. "We unloaded hot tonight, right off the trailer and I couldn't be any happier," Johnson said. Dylan Hoover led the opening four laps before Johnson got around him on the inside for the lead to conclude lap five. "I knew Ryan was right on my tail and that I needed to get up there and get around Dylan," Johnson said. "The track was perfect, the car was good and we're tickled to death." Johnson rolled to a 2.3-second lead by the midpoint of the 20-lapper over season points leader Middaugh, who made his way around Hoover for the runner-up spot. The margin up front went to 3.2 seconds on lap 14 and, with action remaining caution-free, Johnson cruised from there.

  BRADEN CHIARAMONTE HEADS NORTH TO OCEAN AND PLACERVILLE SPEEDWAYS

  (El Cajon, CA, July 6, 2023) For the first time since May 20th, young star Braden Chiaramonte will be racing his 360 winged sprint car this Friday and Saturday night, July 7th and 8th. As per usual he will be competing a long way from his El Cajon, California home. On Friday he will be competing about 90 minutes south of San Francisco in the Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo at the Ocean Speedway in Watsonville. Twenty-four hours and 200 miles later he will be battling at the Placerville Speedway in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. After racing at the Delta Speedway in Stockton two weeks ago, the team set its sights on this week's races. They got the 360 back from the engine builder and began putting the pieces together for this weekend. Finishing things up on Thursday they had hoped to get everything checked out with a few laps before heading north but ran out of time. Thus, when Chiaramonte pushes off at Ocean Speedway on Friday, it will be the first laps on the fresh engine. In addition to the initial laps on the engine, it will be the teen's first laps on the track that was constructed in 1960. Saturday at Placerville will be more familiar territory for the 16-year-old racer. Chiaramonte first competed at the track in the town once known as Hangtown two years ago in the "Hangtown 100" for lightning sprint cars. He returned last August for only his second 360-winged sprint car start. On that night he finished 12th in the B main. He last appeared at the famous red clay oval on March 24th of this year and placed 10th in the B main. Saturday will be his third 360-winged start of 2023. His best finish was seventh place at the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare on May 20th while competing with the Kings of Thunder 360s. In addition to racing with the wings on in the 360, Chiaramonte has started three races sans wing in 2023. His best result in that discipline was ninth with the So Cal Non-Wing Open Comp Sprints at the Imperial Valley Raceway on March 11th. To date, Chiaramonte has had three victories in 2023. On March 20th at Imperial Valley, he captured his first win of the year in an event co-sanctioned by the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Cars and the California Lightning Sprints. He followed that victory up with a pair of triumphs in 600cc non-wing micros at Arizona's Adobe Mountain Speedway in April. Spectator gates at Ocean Speedway will open at 4:30 on Friday with racing at 5:30. The track is located at 2601 E. Lake Avenue in Watsonville, California. The track website is https://www.oceanspeedway.com/ and the phone number is (831) 688-7223. For Saturday, fans can find the Placerville Speedway on the beautiful El Dorado County Fairgrounds in Placerville, California. Take Hwy US-50 to Forni Road/Placerville Drive exit. Then go north on Placerville Drive to the Fairgrounds. The physical address is 100 Placerville Dr., Placerville, CA 95667. Adult tickets are $20.00. For seniors 62+, active military, and juniors 6-12 it is $18.00. Kids 6-11 are just $7.00 and children 5 and under are free. The spectator gate opens at 3:00 p.m. with racing at 6:30. For more information on the Placerville Speedway log onto http://www.placervillespeedway.com or call (530) 344-7592. Chiaramonte would like to thank all his sponsors who have made his racing efforts possible. RTL Traffic Control, AM Ortega, Hyper Racing, King Racing Products, Tiner-Hirst Enterprises, and Keizer Wheels. Chiaramonte and his team are in the midst of a busy racing season.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Late Model win fulfills long-time dream for B-Mod ace JC Morton

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 6, 2023) - One week has passed since JC Morton, long a top performer in the USRA B-Mod division, achieved one of his racing goals of winning in a Late Model. Making it even sweeter, Morton pulled off a rare double by capturing both the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod and Hermitage Lumber Late Model features on the same night at Lucas Oil Speedway. "It was a pretty neat deal," Morton said of the Thursday Night Thunder sweep. The 33-year-old from Springfield made a last-lap pass in his No. 18 family-operated B-Mod before opening a big lead and then holding off veteran Justin Wells while driving the Moon Brothers-owned No. 72 Late Model. "We've been trying on that deal about two years now," Morton said of the Late Model. "We've had some stuff go wrong and haven't got just a ton of races in it. We got some help from some drivers, namely Payton Looney, and things just kind of came together. We tweaked off what he gave us and it seems to be going in the right direction." Looney, from Republic, drove the car in one Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series program earlier this season when Morton was driving the B-Mod out of state. The knowledge helped the team get over the hump after Morton had a third-place feature finish a couple of weeks before the victory. Morton had two Late Model second places in 2022. Morton began driving the Late Model for the Dale and Larry Moon out of Sedalia, Mo., two years ago. Not only was it a thrill to celebrate in victory lane for himself, but it was sweet to validate the decision to put him behind the wheel of the 10-year-old Rocket Blue-Gray chassis. "They gave me a huge opportunity," Morton said. "It's pretty much a dream come true for me. It's something I looked to do my whole career and I got an opportunity to do it thanks to them. "Man, it feels better every time we go out. It's a little different than our Mod because of the width of the car and you've got a nose piece. The air is a huge deal in them. I don't see it as much in the Modified, but clean air is everything in those cars. You hear all the Lucas guys talking about it, like (Ricky) Thornton and (Jonathan) Davenport. You don't realize it until you get into clean air like we had on Saturday." The confidence level in the car allowed Morton to drive it aggressively without the fear of wrecking it. "I'm finally comfortable enough where I can stick it in there two or three wide and get in there and race and pass and not really worry about if I'm gonna stuff it into the wall or stuff it into another car," he said. "I've finally got that comfort level of where I know how hard and how far I can go without tearing something up." Morton's adrenaline was still running high when he dashed from victory lane in the B-Mod, where he made the final-corner pass to win, to the Late Model. He said there was definitely some positive momentum that he used to jump to the lead from the pole-position. "The time on the track is the biggest thing that helps," he said. "But I knew the top was there after the B Mod race. I started on the pole and knew what I had to do get the jump on the dude on the outside and get to the lead. Once I got to the lead, I knew had to try and maintain and hold me line there." From there, he built a comfortable lead before a caution with three laps to go made him earn it as veteran Justin Wells was right on his bumper. Wells is someone Morton said he's watched and admired since he was a five-year-old. "Mom and Dad worked on the MLRA back in '95 or '96 when I was five or six years old," Morton said. "I watched Justin race pretty much his whole career. I told him in the tech building to be able to compete and race with you, after watching you as I grew up racing and winning and being pretty dominant throughout his career, is a cool deal to be involved in it." Now that he's won in both cars on the same night, Morton said doing it again would be even better. "We always talk about winning in both cars because it's a pretty big deal," he said. "It's hard to do because of the competition in both classes is so stiff. To actually do it and be successful, that's one thing. To be able to do it again would be even bigger. "We have a really B-Mod going and the Late Model, I'm comfortable in now and it's rolling in the right direction. Hopefully we can put another night together where we can win 'em both. We'll see what happens." The next chance is scheduled for Saturday on Veterans and Military Appreciation Night. The program Presented by Townsquare Media and KIX 105.7 FM will find the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods as the featured division with a special 25-lap, $750-to-win main event. Meanwhile, all Military members, active or retired, will be admitted free with ID.

  GRANT SEXTON SNARES FIRST USAC/CRA TOP FIVE FINISH AT THE BAKERSFIELD SPEEDWAY

  (Lakeside, CA, June 29, 2023) Teenage sensation Grant Sexton turned in another stellar performance and scored the first top-five USAC/CRA main event finish of his career last Saturday night at the Bakersfield Speedway. Not only was it his first top-five finish, but he also jumped another spot higher in the series standings and is ranked seventh going into the next race at Perris Auto Speedway on July 15th. 43E84AEE-D59D-44BD-8D12-DCB7299947A2_1_201_a.jpg Grant Sexton notched his first ever top 5 USAC/CRA finish at Bakersfield. P1 Racing Images photo. Sexton had finished out of the top 10 in three of his last four races entering Saturday's show. The Lakeside, California racer, who will turn 19 on July 16th, arrived at Bakersfield determined to stem the recent trend. He had performed well at the track located 111 miles north of Los Angeles in years gone by. Only 15 months earlier, he scored the win in one of the best main events in California Lightning Sprint Car Series history on the Kern County track. The personable young driver started the 30-lap main event on the outside of row 4 in the 8th position. Needless to say, he had a bunch of very fast cars right in front of him. Sexton used some early moves and began making progress forward. He was seventh at the end of the first circuit and had moved up another spot on lap two. By the end of the third go around on "The West's Fastest 1/3 Mile High Banked Clay Oval" he was in the fifth spot. While Sexton was up to fifth on lap five, he was in the midst of a crowd-pleasing multi-car battle that see-sawed back and forth. The fight for position saw him get passed and repass the same drivers in the heat of the action. For a lap seven restart, the 2021 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion was seventh. He would slip back as far as eighth and then move forward. The constant action, back-and-forth passing, and the ability to throw safe slide jobs showed the ever-growing confidence the teen has racing against drivers he would not have passed four months ago. For the last restart with 11 laps to go, he was sixth. However, he was not done. Going into turn three on the 26th lap, he shot to the inside and passed the fifth-place driver. Over the final three laps, he fended off the advances of the same driver and held onto the spot. Just like that, in only his 11th USAC/CRA main event start, he secured his first series top-five finish. Before a big crowd watching the only USAC/CRA race at the track this year, Sexton turned in the eighth-best time in qualifying at 13.315. In his 10-lap heat race, he started and finished in the fifth spot. In addition to moving up to seventh in points, Sexton continued to pad his advantage in the Rookie of the Year chase. He will enter the June 15th Perris race 272 points ahead of his closest pursuer. Sexton Gatlin Racing was off this week but will be back in action on Saturday, July 8th.

  Morton doubles down, winning Late Model headliner and USRA B-Mod feature at Lucas Oil Speedway's Thursday Night Thunder

  WHEATLAND, MO. (June 29, 2023) - JC Morton enjoyed a career night as Lucas Oil Speedway celebrated its annual Casey's Thursday Night Thunder Kids' Night at the Races. Morton, from Springfield, captured his first career Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature victory in the headliner of the program coming just a few minutes after driving his Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod to a feature victory. While he's won countless times in his B-Mod over the years, the Late Model win was special for Morton. He was driving the car for Moon Brothers Racing out of Sedalia. Morton held off veteran Justin Wells, the Lucas Oil Speedway runaway Late Model points leader, for the win. "We've been really close," Morton said of the Late Model. "We've had a bunch of seconds. I keep giving Justin a hard time to just let me win, but finally it all came together." Other feature winners Nic Bidinger (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds) and Darrin Schmidt (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). A total of 96 cars checked into the pits for the special program - which concluded with a big fireworks display - to kick off the 4th of July Holiday Weekend. Another highlight of the evening saw 123 donated bicycles awarded to youngsters during intermission in the annual Kids' Bicycle Giveaway. Shortly after after winning the USRA B-Mod feature, Morton went from his B-Mod straight to the Late Model and started on the pole in the Late Model feature. He quickly set the pace in the 25-lapper, opening a three-second lead over sixth-starting Cole Wells by lap seven with Justin Wells in third. Morton's lead continued to grow, reaching 3.5 seconds by lap 10 before Cole Wells began to whittle into the margin just as Wells started to deal with lapped traffic. Cole Wells cut the gap to 2.1 seconds by lap 15 with Justin Wells another second behind. Morton was able to push his lead back to three seconds over Justin Wells when the caution appeared on lap 18 when Jason Sivils spun in turn two. After the restart, Morton rode the high side just as he did in the B-Mod feature, to hold a slim lead over Justin Wells who worked the inside. But it was Morton's night to double down and he held off the six-time 2023 feature winner by .642 seconds at the checkers. "Man, I watched Justin growing up as a kid and he was kind of an idol," Morton said. "He is so good and to be able to compete with his is phenomenal. He raced me very clean. I ripped that lip the last time as hard as I could to try and get away. "I have to thank Larry Moon, Dale Moon and Moon Brothers Racing and all the sponsors on the car. They do all the prep work to get it ready. Without those guys I wouldn't be in this position." Cole Wells finished third with Larry Ferris fourth and Joe Walkenhorst fifth. Morton took home $1,000 for the Late Model win presented by Rains Ice with heat-race bonus cash ($100, $75, $50, $25 for the top four) also boosting the prize money in the division due to sponsors Wasoba Seed & Trucking, Reed Environmental and Dirt Track Specialist. Morton's last-lap pass scores USRA B-Mod win: Morton pulled off a dramatic victory, with a final-lap pass to edge race-long leader Eric Turner for the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod win. Turner set the pace from his outside front-row starting position, opening a one-second over Ryan Edde by lap five with Logan Smith running third. They remained in that order as the race hit the midpoint with seventh-starting Morton advancing into fourth. By lap 13, Kris Jackson moved from 16th to fifth, but Turner was still setting the pace comfortably up front as the laps clicked by. The event's first caution flag few on lap 17 for debris in turn three, taking away Turner's 1.06-second lead over Eddie. Morton mounted a charge on the three-lap sprint to the finish and rode the high groove to sail around Turner for the lead and the win in turn four of the final lap. Morton's margin was .207 seconds while earning his first Lucas Oil Speedway feature win of the season. "We had a long green run and I was kind of maintaining, trying to keep the tires a little cooler," Morton said. "Kris got to me right before the yellow and I kind of blocked the bottom and he blew past me on the high side, so I knew it had to be good. "If the the yellow hadn't come out I probably wouldn't be standing up here, because that saved the race for me. We ripped the lip for the last three or four laps and it came to us" Edde wound up third with Smith fourth and Jackson fifth. Bidinger claims USRA Modified feature: Nic Bidinger of Perry, Kansas, led the final 17 laps to earn his second Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature victory of the season. "I've got a lot of people to thank. All these people up here with us work their butts off here in the heat of the summer," Bidinger said. "My dad is around with us all the time and my uncle's at home watching. I really appreciate all they do. "This is a new Cade Dillard car. This thing is awesome. Also Chad Wheeler, he put it on 'em last weekend. We called and got some notes and here we are in victory lane." Bidinger grabbed the lead away from Brendon Gemmill after a lap-three restart after pole-starting Gemmill paced the first three laps. The race had little rhythm in the early going with three cautions in the first six laps. Bidinger was able to open up a .867-second lead before another caution waved two laps later. The race then started to gain some green-flag momentum before second-running Gemmill spun to bring out the sixth caution on lap 13. Pursley moved into second with Dylan Hoover third as Bidinger set sail on the restart. Bidinger drove away from there to prevail by 2.4 seconds over Purlsey with Hoover finishing third, Trevor Hughes fourth and Gary Christian fifth. Schmidt leads all the way in USRA Stock Cars: Darrin Schmidt of Winchester, Kansas, led flag-to-flag in a caution-free O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars main event. Schmidt beat Mason Beck by about six car lengths. "The beginning of the year we can here and started up front and it was a completely different story," Schmidt said. "Got got it lined out and everything's going good. It was a last-minute decision to come. We got here about 6:15. "It was a heck of a day, but it was worth the drive, for sure." Schmidt started on the outside of row one and paced the action from the start, rolling to a 1.4-second lead by lap eight with season points leader Mason Beck and William Garner running second and third. Schmidt's lead remained constant as the feature continued without any caution flags, the 20 laps finishing in just six minutes, 56 seconds. It was Schmidt's first win at Lucas Oil Speedway. Beck finished .700 seconds behind the winner with Waylon Dimmitt rallying from ninth to finish third. Garner slipped to fourth and Dean Wille came home in fifth.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Tucker Cox happy to be back after hard crash early in the season

  WHEATLAND, MO. (June 27, 2023) - No third-place finish felt better than the one Jefferson City driver Tucker Cox experienced last Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Cox, 23, was racing for the first time since suffering broken bones in his left foot and a demolished race car in an April 15th accident in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model division of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series. "I really missed it," Cox said of the 10 weeks of healing. "It was fun to be out there again and the race track was really good. I'm glad to be back. "I thought (third place) was pretty good. I thought if my car would have been turning a little better in the feature, I felt I would have been in contention for the win. I made a few mistakes and the car was a little bit too tight. But I believe it's gonna be faster than the old car. That's a good sign." Cox's previous MB Customs car was totaled during the feature on April 15 when Jimmy Dowell had a mechanical failure in front of him and turned toward the infield. Cox had no chance of missing Dowell, with only a fraction of a second to hit the brakes before making high-speed contact. Cox said he was following Larry Ferris and JC Morton down the backstretch and "all of a sudden, they ducked dead left and I followed them. I knew something was coming, but I didn't know what. "When JC moved, Jimmy was right there. I hit the brakes real hard and then the impact of my foot being on the brake pedal is what broke the bones in my foot." The violent accident could have been much worse, with Cox adding, "I was real thankful that I had good safety equipment. It could have been real worse, but now we're good to go." While MB Customs worked to put together a new car, Cox came to the track a few times as his foot healed in support of mid-Missouri friend Ryan Middaugh, the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified points leader. "I was missing it pretty bad, especially after I went and got my new car," Cox said of the down time from racing. "My Dad (Chris) got that together pretty quick as I was trying to catch up at work. Thankfully my Dad was nice enough to put that together for me and the guys at MB Customs got me a car really quick - a lot quicker than I thought. It's nice of them to help me so quickly." With no points to worry about after missing so much of the season, Cox said his goal the rest of the way is pretty simple. "I just want to win some races," he said. "My goal is to win every night that I show up. I know that's pretty tough, but that's the goal every week." The next opportunity arrives with the special Casey's Thursday Night Thunder program, which finds the Hermitage Lumber Late Models headlining the on-track action with a $1,000-to-win feature Presented by Rains Ice. The Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds, Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars also will be in action. Along with the racing action, it will be Kids' Night at the Races as youngsters ages 5-through-12 can sign up before intermission for a chance to enter a drawing for new bicycles of various sizes. The speedway is still accepting donations of new boys' or girls' bicycles, or cash donations toward purchase of bikes. Those interested in helping may do so by bringing a bicycle or cash to the track office during business hours this week, or bringing a new bicycle to the office prior to Thursday night's races. After the races, another Lucas Oil Speedway 4th of July weekend tradition will continue with the area's biggest fireworks display, courtesy of AM Pyrotechnics, beginning a few minutes after the final checkered flag flies. Pit gates open at 4 p.m., spectator gates at 5 with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. Spectators can pick up $2 off coupons for grandstand tickets at participating area Casey's stores. Thursday Night Thunder admission: Adults (16 and up) - $20 Seniors (62 and up)/Military - $17 Youth (6-15) - $10 Kids (5 and under) - FREE Family Pass - $50 Pit Pass - $40 Camping World SRX Series tickets on sale: Some of racing's legends are coming to Lucas Oil Speedway for the Camping World SRX Series.

  Middaugh shows the way in Lucas Oil Speedway headliner as Beck, Ferris, Kirk also pick up feature wins

  WHEATLAND, MO. (June 24, 2023) - Ryan Middaugh's hot month of June continued Saturday night as he captured another Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified main event at Lucas Oil Speedway. The Fulton driver beat Matt Johnson to win the headliner on Public Safety Appreciation Night at the Races. It was Middaugh's third victory of the Lucas Oil Speedway season and 10th overall in 2023. The USRA National points leader has won five in a row and six of seven races in June. Other feature winners on the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series program Presented by KCTV-5 Kansas City were Larry Ferris (Hermitage Lumber Late Models), Mason Beck (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars) and Colson Kirk (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods). "I felt really bad in the heat race," Middaugh said. "I was real tight and wasn't sure what to do. We just changed a couple of small things and I guess it was the right call. It was set on kill. It's hard to do when you've got guys like Matt Johnson and Dillon McCowan and Nic Bidinger behind you. To out-run those guys, it means a lot." Middaugh and Johnson started on the front row and set the pace from the outset. Middaugh maintained the lead but Johnson stayed within a few car lengths through the first 10 laps. By lap 13, Johnson had cut Middaugh's margin to less than a half-second as the leaders neared lapped traffic. Middaugh was able to pad his lead a bit as he passed slower cars, leading by one second by lap 20. He kept pulling away from there as the caution-free event remained green all 25 laps. Middaugh's fifth straight victory overall between Lucas Oil Speedway and his hometown Callaway Raceway, saw him beat Johnson by 1.9 seconds. Bidinger wound up third with McCowan fourth and Chad Melton coming home in fifth in his first appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway. Ferris captures Late Model win after Wells DQ: Hermitage Lumber Late Model points leader Justin Wells appeared to have his seventh victory of the season, but he was disqualified in post-race inspection for an infraction with the engine weight distribution. That gave the feature victory to Larry Ferris, the 2022 track champion, who ran a close second in the 20-lap feature. Wells crossed the line .673 seconds ahead of Ferris with JC Morton, Tucker Cox fourth and Bryon Allison following. Cox was making his return after a hard crash on April 15. Kayden Clatt set the early pace from his pole-starting position with Ferris and Wells close behind when the first caution appeared on lap three. Wells went in front at the conclusion of lap three following the restart with Ferris giving chase. Over the next several laps, Wells rode the high line and Ferris worked the inside as the duo broke away form the field by nearly five seconds by lap 10. Wells gradually built his lead over Ferris, with a 1.6-second margin when catching lapped traffic on lap 14 and it was a 1.7-second cushion when a yellow on lap 15 bunched the field. Continuing to excel in the high groove after restart, the season points leader held on to beat Ferris to the checkers. But later in tech inspection, Ferris was declared the race winner. Earlier this season, Wells was elevated to the race winner when Ferris' car came in too light at the scales. The Late Model winner took home $1,000 with heat-race bonus cash ($100, $75, $50, $25 for the top four) also boosting the prize money in the division due to sponsors Wasoba Seed & Trucking, Reed Environmental and Dirt Track Specialist. Beck wins a USRA Stock Cars thriller: Mason Beck of Urbana led only one lap, but it was the most important one. Beck overtook race-long-leader William Garner on the final circuit to claim the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature. Beck, who started eighth, battled his way through the field and into contention midway through the race. A four-way for second saw Beck emerge and begin his chase of Garner. Beck was on the leader's back bumper by lap 13 with Johnny Fennewald about five car lengths behind in third. Beck went to the high side coming to the white flag and pulled slightly ahead of Garner coming out of turn two. He then won a drag race coming off turn four to the checkers to score his third feature win of the season. "That was the most-exciting race I've ever been a part of," Beck said. "From fifth on - me, Waylon (Dimmitt), (James) McMillin, Fennewald, it was hard-fought and clean racing all the way to the checkered flag." Fennewald finished third, Dimmitt was fourth and McMillin fifth. Kirk earns B-Mod feature win: Urbana's Colson Kirk held off a determined charge from Jon Sheets on the final lap to earn his first Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win of the season. "The race track was awesome," Kirk said. "A big thanks to my 'Pops." I'd have never started if it wasn't for him." Season points leader Bobby Williams passed Kirk for the lead at the start-finish line for lap eight, but the caution flew immediately after. That meant the order reverted to the previously completed lap for the restart, putting Kirk in front for the restart. Sheets took the second position as green-flag action resumed and Kirk opened a three-quarters of a second lead. As the battle for second continued Kirk's lead grew to 1.5 seconds by lap 12, when another caution appeared. Sheets pulled alongside Kirk in turn one on lap 16, but was unable to get around the leader. Sheets made a final bid on the last lap, trying to make an inside pass off turn four, but Kirk held on by a car length. Williams finished third with JC Morton fourth and JC Newell in fifth.

  GRANT SEXTON CONTINUES HIS PURSUIT OF THE USAC/CRA ROOKIE OF THE YEAR AWARD SATURDAY AT BAKERSFIELD

  (Lakeside, CA, June 23, 2023) Grant Sexton will attempt to bounce back from a disappointing finish in last week's USAC West Coast Series main event at the Ventura Raceway when the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series heads to Kern County for the Richie McGowan Memorial this Saturday at the Bakersfield Speedway. The teen will enter Saturday's race eighth in the USAC/CRA standings and with a commanding lead in the Rookie of the Year points race. Last week, things started off bright enough for the Lakeside, California driver at the reincarnation of the Wagsdash. Competing on the same Ventura oval where he won his first-ever full-size sprint car race in April of 2022, the friendly racer was the 10th fastest qualifier of the 31 drivers on hand with a time of 12.734. In his 10-lap heat race, he started on the inside of the second row. Initially, he slipped back to fifth and that could have ended up being a major problem. Coming off turn four early in the race, cars in front of the affable teen tangled. They seemingly left him nowhere to go. However, his quick reflexes kept him going forward after just minor contact. For the restart of the heat, Sexton was in fourth. He quickly moved forward and latched onto the third-place spot in his black #22 with brilliant orange trim. He managed to stay there through the end. The previous week in the USAC/CRA race at Perris Auto Speedway, Sexton started on the pole for the main. In Saturday's 30-lapper at Ventura, he began in the exact same spot. After Kris Kornder started the race with his green flag, Sexton was third at the end of the opening go-around. A couple of laps later he was fourth and still in the hunt. However, that hunt ended abruptly in turn one on lap five with him sitting by the turn one crash wall with a torn-up frame rail on his Ellis Chassis. His promising night ended with a 21st-place finish. Thus far in 2023, Sexton has a perfect attendance record through the first 11 USAC/CRA races. He has placed in the top 10 three times with a ninth at Perris Auto Speedway, a seventh at Kings Speedway in Hanford, and a season-best sixth-place finish at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway. His prowess sees him residing in eighth place in the series championship standings and it has allowed him to build a bulging 210-point advantage in the Rookie of the Year chase. Saturday will be Sexton's first time competing at Bakersfield in a 410 sprint car. However, he is no stranger to the track known as "The West's Fastest 1/3 Mile High Banked Clay Oval." In fact, one of the biggest wins of his young career came on the Kern County oval on March 25th, 2022. Competing in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series in a show that was headlined by the World of Outlaws, Sexton thrilled the crowd with a brave, banging-the-boards performance that saw him only lead the last five feet in a photo finish. The victory, which was seen worldwide on the World of Outlaws DirtVision TV, saw Sexton receive a standing ovation from the capacity crowd. Afterward, his memorable victory speech had the enthusiastic crowd roaring again. Fans who want to see the young star in action on the famous "Okie Bowl" on Saturday can find the track at 5001 North Chester Ext. Ave., Bakersfield (93308). Spectator gates will open at 4:00 p.m. with racing at 6:00. Adult tickets are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over and military with a proper id get in for $25.00. Kids 6-12 are $15.00 and children 5 and under are free. Parking is free. The track website is http://www.bakersfieldspeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (661) 393-3373.

  AFTER PLACING SECOND IN CLS RACE AT VENTURA, JEFF DYER HEADS TO BAKERSFIELD FOR USAC/CRA RACE

  (Yucca Valley, CA, June 22, 2023) After a second-place finish in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series/POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Cars "Best of the West" race last weekend at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway, Jeff Dyer will trade in his lightning sprint for his 410 USAC/CRA Sprint Car for Saturday's race at the Bakersfield Speedway. It will be Dyer's 4th USAC race of 2023. Last Saturday, with a good crowd looking on at the Wagsdash, Dyer was joined by his 16-year-old son Seth at the track located on the beach in Ventura. Of the 13 cars on hand for the race on the 1/5 mile oval, Jeff, a Highway Patrol Officer when he is away from the track, turned in the fifth fastest time at 13.071 in qualifying. Seth, a high school student when he is not racing, turned in the seventh-best lap at 13.266. The father and son duo, one of two in the race, was matched against each other in the first eight-lap heat. Seth was on the pole and Jeff was alongside on the outside of the front row. Seth led the race until his dad stole the top spot from him in turn two on the second lap. From that point on, Jeff held on to win by a comfortable margin. It was his series-leading third heat race win of the year. Seth placed fourth. For the 25-lap main, Jeff was on the inside of the second row. Seth was two rows behind in seventh. Jeff was third at the start and stayed there until lap five when he moved up one spot to second. By that time, the leader was gone and Jeff was forced to settle for a second-place finish in the race that went green to checkers with no interruption. After an early race tangle, Seth managed to bring his #4JR home in eighth. "It wasn't a terrible track, but track position (on the start) was really the key there," Dyer said. "With him (5-time series champion Bobby Michnowicz) starting on the front row, it was hard. I went up top a couple times and actually made it work for a little while but then it kind of went away. We were too even. Without any cautions, it was going to be practically impossible to catch him. If we would have had a caution it may have been a different story but who knows? His car is just as good as mine." In nine lightning starts this year, Jeff has two wins, four top-five finishes and he has finished in the top 10 six times. Likewise, Seth has also appeared in nine lightning races this year. He has one top-five and six top-10s. Jeff maintained his third-place position in both the CLS series and the "Best of the West." In the POWRi Southwest standings, he has moved into the second-place spot. Seth is sixth in the CLS point war, seventh in "Best of the West" and fourth in POWRi. After only one race in the CLS/Bay Cities Racing Association "Civil War," Jeff leads the points and Seth is 10th. Saturday at the "Richie McGowan Memorial at Bakersfield, Dyer will be back in the yellow #39 Dyer Motorsports/Cal Smith sprint car. For the first time in nearly a year, the team will have its #1 engine, formerly used by National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Rip Williams, in the car. Last year he steered the car to a 14th-place finish in the USAC/CRA race at the "Okie Bowl" on May 14th. He has already been to Bakersfield two times in 2023 in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series and has recorded a win and a third-place finish. Spectator gates at Bakersfield will open at 4:00 p.m. with racing at 6:00. Adult tickets are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over and military with a proper id get in for $25.00. Kids 6-12 are $15.00 and children 5 and under are free. Parking is free. The track is located at 5001 North Chester Ext. Ave., Bakersfield (93308). The track website is http://www.bakersfieldspeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (661) 393-3373. As pictured, the new Dyer Motorsports team shirts are now available. You can pick one up in the pits after the races or you can order via email at mailto:dyermotorsports4@gmail.com Jeff is racing in memory of his grandparents, Glenn, and Beverly Sels, throughout the 2023 season. Jeff would like to thank the following for making the 2023 racing campaign possible in the #4 and 4Jr Lightning Sprint Cars.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Dayton Pursley keeps making gains in USRA B-Mod career

  WHEATLAND, MO. (June 22, 2023) - When Dayton Pursley began driving in the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod class in 2019, the son of long-time Lucas Oil Speedway USRA Modified competitor Jason Pursley figured it would be a fairly simple process. "I had watched it for 15 years and I remember telling Dad, 'I'm gonna go out here and do pretty good.' Then I went out and I'd never experienced anything like it," Dayton Pursley said of his rookie season. "It's a lot harder than it looks. That was my first taste of real competition." Now at age 20, Pursley is starting to come into his own after getting the experience necessary to compete in the deep and talented B-Mod division. Pursley is second in points with a pair of top-five finishes to his credit entering Saturday night's Public Safety Appreciation Night in the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series. All police, fire and rescue personnel will be admitted free with ID. USRA Modifieds will be the featured division with a special 25-lap, $1,000-to-win main event. Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods, Hermitage Lumber Late Models and O'Reilly Auto Parts Stock Cars also will be in action. For Dayton Pursley, it's a chance to continue building positive momentum after a rough start to the 2023 Lucas Oil Speedway season. He opened with finishes of ninth, 15th and 16th but has steadily improved since in his new Sky Rocket Chassis. "We also had some bad luck and got in a couple of wrecks at the beginning of the year, but finally started to turn it around and had some better luck and some better runs," Pursley said. "Overall, it's gone really good for me. I feel like I have leaped into a new position on the race track, consistently in the top-10, which is great - especially at Lucas with the stiff B-Mod competition." Asked to compare his driving now to his rookie B-Mod season, Pursley said it's all about consistency and "just learning. It took me probably two to three years to really learn now to drive a B-Mod. I'm not great now, but I feel I can make circles on a consistent basis now. "That first year, I'd have some good laps and then bad ones. It's all about momentum now in racing. The more consistent you can be, the better you'll be." While Dayton always has his dad alongside in the pits when he needs advice, he's starting to make more and more of his own decisions about car set-up. "I'm starting to do more of my own thing, I guess," he said. "He's still by my side when I have questions. I lean on him, but I try to do my own thing and try to learn myself. Tom Campbell, my Dad's car owner, has helped me with parts, traveling, everything you can think of. Everyone throughout the pits, I can talk to them and have a great conversation. They've raced a lot longer than I have and I can ask them questions. "My biggest help would be my dad. Being around him 20 years ... he knows what he's doing." Pursley also is learning about the ins and outs of racing by working for Brennon Willard Motorsports and TJR Motorsports out of Lebanon. During the week, he works in the shop for the Late Model teams and occasionally, when his own racing schedule doesn't conflict, he goes on road trips with them. "Set-up, tires, cleaning, whatever they need, I do," Pursley said of his role. "I've gone with them a few times this year, to the Show-Me 100, West Plains and Tri-City. I plan on traveling next week for some Summer National races. Mainly, I'm a shop guy and race on the weekends." Pursley said his goals the rest of his season are to keep improving, hopefully win some races and stay near the top of the Lucas Oil Speedway standings. He's 63 points behind Bobby Williams in the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod chase. "Winning races is my top priority, but being in the top three of points at Lucas would be great," Pursley said. "Bobby is really consistent and really good this year. It's gonna be tough to catch him. Finishing second at Lucas in points is a great accomplishment for anybody." Pit gates open at 4 p.m. Saturday and grandstands at 5, with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.
