  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Busy Dayton Pursley looks for more success in 2024

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 18, 2024) - Dayton Pursley grew up going to the races at Lucas Oil Speedway as his dad, long-time USRA Modified driver Jason Pursley, chased victories. So it was pretty special for Dayton when he won his first feature race at the speedway last summer. "That meant a lot to me," Dayton Pursley said of his Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod victory last June. "I know from lap one through lap 20, I was the most nervous I'd ever been. I told myself every corner not to spin out, not to do anything wrong because JC Morton was closing on me. Just trying to run the best race I could." The 21-year-old from Hermitage is ready to chase more checkered flags this season, beginning with the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series opener on Saturday night. The B-Mods will headline the action with a special 25-lap, $750-to-win main event. It will be Public Telecommunicators Appreciation Night at the Races. In observation of National Public Telecommunicators Week, to show appreciation to the 911 dispatch agencies, all 911 dispatchers will be admitted FREE with ID or Badge. The Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models, Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars will join the B-Mods. Pursley also picked up a feature win at Midway Speedway as part of a solid 2023 season. He finished third in Lucas Oil Speedway points, behind track champion Bobby Williams and two-time champ Morton. "It was a pretty good season," Pursley said. "I didn't get a lot of wins, but I got better with the car in my first year with it. I struggled early in the year, but the longer the season went the better I got." This season won't find Pursley chasing points, however, as his racing day job will keep him busy. As new crew chief for Brennon Willard on the Lucas Oil MLRA circuit, Pursley will be overseeing Willard's Capital chassis race car on weekends that the MLRA series is in action. That was supposed to have been the case this weekend, but MLRA action in Iowa was postponed by wet weather. "Whenever Brennon doesn't race, I'm going to race my car," Pursley said. "Throughout the week, I'll go home to my dad's shop and work on my race car and get it ready. Other than that, I'm a full-time crew chief/tire guy for Brennon." Pursley got experience working on Late Models a couple of years ago doing tire prep for Earl Pearson Jr. He sees it as a great way to spread his education of what it takes to build and maintain a full-time racing program. What he learns on the Late Models doesn't directly help in prepping a B-Mod, but he said there are some things that will be a benefit in his planned move to a USRA Modified a year from now. But overall, he's enjoying the Late Model knowledge he's picking up in a crew chief role. "It really has made my knowledge for the race car a lot better. I've learned so much already and it's only April," Pursley said. I'm working on shocks and the actual set-up of the race car. I think it will help me with my own racing career and then also helping my dad and uncle (Donnie Fellers). My knowledge is a lot more than it was four months ago." While he won't race weekly in 2024, Pursley said he has high hopes for making a splash in his Skyrocket Chassis at Wheatland and other speedways. "I'm gonna try to go to the bigger money races or go to Lucas and support them," Pursley said. "The more seat time a get and the more tracks I can say I raced at, the better it will be." Team sponsors include CPD Racing Shocks, Earl-F Electric, DF Safety Solutions, Tom Campbell Racing, Loto Lifts, DP Race Bodies, E3 Spark Plugs, Fast Shafts by Axle Exchange, Icon Race Graphics, Skyrocket Chassis, Balanced Speed and Dayton Pursley Racing.

  Davenport wires field to complete MLRA Spring Nationals sweep at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 13, 2024) - Jonathan Davenport lived up to his nickname of "Superman" once again on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway, completing a dominating weekend sweep of the 11th annual MLRA Spring Nationals Presented by Arizona Sport Shirts. One night after leading all 40 laps to take home a $7,000 prize, Davenport paced all 60 circuits to once again outdistance Ricky Thornton Jr., and take home the $20,000 check. After winning five times at Lucas Oil Speedway in 2023, the Blairsville, Ga., driver is two-for-two this season after beating Thornton by 4.23 seconds for his latest triumph in south-central Missouri. "We got a good starting spot from qualifying," Davenport said. "My guys have been doing a great job. We were so good in that heat race, we were afraid to change anything. We over-adjusted last night. We did finally make some changes there and i don't know if they were the right ones, we it sure made it easier to drive. I could maneuver very well. The car was really good." Just as he did a night earlier, Davenport sprinted to the lead at the start from his front-row starting position. He opened a 3.1-second lead just six laps in over Mason Zeigler with Thornton Jr. running third. By lap 12, Davenport caught lapped traffic and that allowed Zeigler to shave a half-second off his lead. It didn't take Davenport long to stretch his command back out to 4.07 seconds by lap 20 as Thornton moved into the runner-up spot. The long green-flag run from the start continued and Davenport threatened to make it a complete runaway as his lead hit 4.8 seconds by lap 25. That's when the first caution flew as Chris Simpson slowed on the track with a flat tire. Davenport rolled from the restart and needed just five laps to re-open a 1.5-second lead over Thornton with Garrett Alberson third and Zeigler fourth. His margin was 2.1 seconds when the race's second caution appeared on lap 35 after Matt Johnson's spin in turn four. It took only three laps after the restart for the next caution, with the top four unchanged. However, Mike Marlar continued an impressive march, going from 21st and into the fifth by lap 38 when a five-car pileup in turn three brought out the red to clean up the debris. When action resumed, it was more of the same with Davenport using the high groove to quickly open a two-second lead over Thornton by lap 43. Marlar continued to ascend using the extreme low line, passing Alberson for third on lap 46 and 2.5 seconds behind the leader. The race remained caution-free the rest of the way and that was all Davenport needed to weave his way through lapped traffic all the way to the checkers. Thornton held off Alberson for second with Marlar slipping to fourth in the final laps. Zeigler settled for fifth and reigning MLRA champ Chad Simpson was sixth for the second straight night. Davenport said he didn't change his driving approach after the cautions wiped out his sizeable leads, but he definitely kept an eye on the video board to see who was behind him. "I got into a pretty good rhythm there and the biggest thing that won me the race was through lapped cars," Davenport said. "I tried not to get complacent and get behind one. Even if it was the wrong line, I tried to keep my momentum up and try to pass them in the next corner. "I knew those guys were right on me. Ricky's been really good and Garrett was coming up through there." Thornton said he thought the final caution would provide him a chance to see how he matched up with Davenport after losing to him at the finish by just over a second on Friday night. "The one yellow came out and I thought I could at least see how comparable I am to him and he just drove off," Thornton said. "That's why we're here. We need to get better. We'll keep working. "Hopefully when we come back here for the Show-Me (May 23-25) we can finish a little better in the heat race. That's a big thing here." Dustin Hodges posted the fastest qualifying lap at 14.788 seconds out of Group A, while Davenport set fast time in Group B at 14.873. They both won their heats to secure front-row starting positions. Poe wins POWRi Super Stocks feature: Aaron Poe of Knob Noster emerged a narrow winner after a tight battle over the final 14 laps to earn the POWRi Super Stocks feature win. Ted Welschmeyer took the lead at the start over Friday-night winner Taylor Carver. Those two were side-by-side for the lead when a lap-six caution flew. Poe powered from third to the lead on the restart on lap seven. He and Welschmeyer battled it out from there with Poe riding the high groove and Welschmeyer the low side. That's how they stayed until the finish, with Poe, the reigning POWRi Super Stocks national champ, winning by .578 seconds. Afterward, Welschmeyer's car failed technical inspection. Brian Brown was elevated to second with Carver third, Derek Brown fourth and Derek Henson fifth. Clevenger rallies late to win SMVR feature: Damen Clevenger rallied in the final half of the Show-Me Vintage Racers main event to come away with the feature win over Friday-night winner Brandon Jordan. John Martin started on the pole and sprinted to the lead for the start, opening a two-second margin over Bryant Moyer by lap seven. Clevenger, who started seventh, moved into second by lap nine when a caution slowed the field. Jordan, re-starting fifth after beginning the race 14th, rolled into the lead on lap 11. He and Clevenger raced side-by-side over the next two laps with Clevenger forging into the lead with one to go. Clevenger was able to hang on to beat Jordan by .275 seconds for his third career SMVR win at Lucas Oil Speedway. "It helped me catch the lead car," Clevenger said of the caution. "The track was tacky and fast, especially down on the bottom once we got down there. That's where we ran them down at. It was a good, close race." Don Marrs wound up third with Jim Thorne fourth and David Isaacs fifth.

  Davenport does it again at Lucas Oil Speedway, capturing 11th annual MLRA Spring Nationals opener

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 12, 2024) - Another season meant another trip to victory lane at Lucas Oil Speedway for Jonathan Davenport. The Blairsville, Ga., driver led all 40 laps Friday night and withstood a late charge from Ricky Thornton Jr., to capture the Night One feature at the 11th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Spring Nationals Presented by Arizona Sport Shirts. Davenport beat Thornton by 1.02 seconds to earn $7,000 in the MLRA season opener. This after winning four Lucas Oil MLRA or Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series features at Lucas Oil Speedway in 2024, plus the SRX Series main event here. "I don't know, this place just fits me," Davenport said of his success on the Wheatland dirt. "It constantly changes and gives us all a curve ball for sure. It feels good to come back after that special win the SRX Series. That was definitely cool. "I just have to thank my guys for all they do for me and thank Longhorn. This is a brand new car. All the guys back at the shop worked hard on this thing." A total of 44 Late Models were on hand for Night One of the Spring Nationals with 117 total entries in four divisions checking into the pits. The stakes will be even higher on Saturday night with $20,000 on the line for the Lucas Oil MLRA 60-lap feature win. "Thanks to all the fans for coming out," Davenport said, urging the fans to bring some friends for Saturday's finale. "We'll see if we can get another one." Davenport grabbed the lead at the start and opened a 1.5-second lead over Mason Zeigler four laps in when the first caution came out as Matt Johnson slowed in turn four. Garrett Smith got around Zeigler on the restart, but another yellow flew on lap six. A debris caution on lap nine, the race's third yellow, again halted Davenport's momentum as Smith, Zeigler and Tony Jackson Jr. gave chase. Finally getting an extended green-flag run, Davenport used the clean air to open a 2.4-second lead over Smith by lap 20, the event's midpoint. Meanwhile, Thornton rallied from his seventh-starting spot into third by lap 24 as he got around Zeigler. One lap later, Smith hit the wall exiting turn four and rolled to a stop to bring out caution No. 4. That erased Davenport's 2.6-second lead over Thornton, with Zeigler third and Jackson fourth. Davenport quickly moved away after the restart to lead by 1.9 seconds by lap 30 as Thornton was fighting off Zeigler for second. But Thornton started cutting into the margin as Davenport caught lapped traffic with seven laps remaining. Thornton made a final try on the final lap, diving low into turns three and four, but "Superman" was able to hang on by about five car lengths for the victory. Zeigler finished third with Garrett Alberson fourth and Jackson winding up fifth. "You never know who is coming from behind," Davenport said of the late going. "Ricky didn't qualify very well and I knew he'd be coming up through there, plus there were several other cars that didn't get a good qualifying lap in. "That's one thing about Wheatland. If you don't like the race track, just wait a minute because it's going to change. But I didn't get quite as slick tonight as I thought it would. The top stayed there longer than I thought it would." Thornton said the poor qualifying effort, which relegated him to seventh at the start, was too much to overcome. "Early in the night we were about a second off the pace to these guys," Thornton said. "We'll see if we can get a little better early in the night and start a little farther forward. But once the track slowed down, our car really came to us. "Congrats to J.D. His stuff looked really good and he was kind of on cruise control. Hopefully we can get a little better." The overall fast qualifier was Davenport, who paced Group B with a lap of 14.802 seconds. He went on to win his feature to earn a starting spot on the front row. Reigning MLRA champion Chad Simpson of Mount Vernon, Iowa, started sixth and finished sixth in the first series action of the season. Mike Marlar charged from 15th to finish seventh. POWRi Super Stocks win goes to Carver: Taylor Carver of Lockesburg, Ark., led all 20 laps for the POWRi Super Stocks feature win, holding off Ted Welschmeyer. Carver started third, but was able to grab the lead on lap one. After two cautions slowed the early action, Carver opened a 1.5-second lead over Welschmeyer who drove around Brian Brown on lap four to get into second. Carver caught lapped traffic by the midway point on lap 10 when the event's third caution bunch the field. Three more yellow flags over the next five laps prevented the leader from getting away. On final caution with two laps to go gave Welschmeyer one more chance, but Carver was up to the challenge and finished his flawless run. He prevailed by 1.07 seconds. Ed Griggs rallied from 13th to finish third with Kenny Carroll fourth and Brian Brown fifth. Jordan earns Show-Me Vintage Racers victory: Brandon Jordan of Pineville, Mo., took over the lead from pole-starting at the start and went on to capture the 15-lap Show-Me Vintage Racers feature. Jordan, who started outside of row one, won by 2.6 seconds. A caution with five laps remaining erased a three-second lead, but Jordan regrouped as action went green and cruised to the finish. Jordan dedicated the victory to his youngest granddaughter P.J. who was recently diagnosed with autism. "A lot of these kids are bullied and ridiculed and I think people need to make themselves aware that their mind just works a little differently," Jordan said. "A lot of the smartest people in the world also have autism. I'm so happy I could get this win. I wish they could have been here tonight." Jim Thorne finished third with Bryant Moyer fourth and Rodney Ashworth coming home in fifth. Lewis scores Legends win: Second-starting Jackson Lewis took the lead on lap four and led the rest of the way to grab the 15-lap Legends feature victory. Lewis, of Lakeview, Minn., beat Michael Weber by 1.6 seconds for the victory with Chance Gilbert finishing third, Jay Reynolds fourth and early leader and pole-starter Griffin McGrath fifth.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Racing veteran Vanzandt eager to take his MLRA shot

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 10, 2024) - One of the newcomers on the Lucas Oil MLRA series in 2024 probably has more lifetime laps to his credit that most of his opposition. Certainly, Jimmy Vanzandt has seen and done about all there is during a racing career of more than four decades. The Springfield-based driver has competed on dirt and pavement over the years and even gave the MLRA a brief whirl more than 20 years ago. In recent seasons, he's been a regular on the Cash Money Late Model Dirt Series. "I decided after last year that I wanted to do something different and I was running out of years to do it," Vanzandt said. "I thought I would try the MLRA. I ran it years ago, back when Kenny Essary had it. So I thought I'd try it. I know I'm crazy, because these guys are super fast. "If I can make the show, I'll be happy. But I'm gonna have fun either way." Vanzandt, who turns 63 in about a week, plans to hit MLRA races within an eight-hour radius from home. It begins this Friday and Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway for the 11th annual MLRA Spring Nationals Presented by Arizona Sport Shirts. The doublelheader begins on Friday when the MLRA standouts compete for a $7,000 feature win. The stakes are even higher on Saturday with the feature winner collecting $20,000. Vanzandt said he decided the time was right to chase one of his remaining racing dreams and see how he stacks up against some of the best in the business. "I've never got the opportunity to do this before," Vanzandt said. "I'm probably not gonna go out and win races, but I'm gonna give it my all. Who knows? We'll see what happens. I'm gonna make as many shows as I can. "If we do really good, it's hard to say how many races I[ll run. If you're doing good, you can sometimes get resources you couldn't come up with before." Vanzandt wound up fifth in Cash Money points a year ago after finishing third in the 2023 standings. He has a new Longhorn chassis and Roush-Yates motor with tech and set-up support from Billy Moyer Jr., who has moved from the driver's seat into a consulting role. Moyer Jr. helped Vanzandt dial the car in during a test session last week at Batesville, Ark. Vanzandt's career began about 47 years ago at the Springfield Fairgrounds. He's driven Bombers, Street Stocks, Modifieds and Sportsman cars over the years, in addition to the Late Model on pavement and dirt. He was a consistent contender on the asphalt at Lebanon I-44 Speedway for several years before returning to dirt about five years ago. "The dirt is a lot more fun," Vanzandt said. "Just the people. It's a different world. Everybody's friendly and can't wait to help you, it seems like. I've got a lot of buddies with tractor trailer rigs that we buddy up with. They don't treat me different than anybody else does. "With the dirt there's a lot more cleaning, a lot more maintenance. You have to stay up on everything." Helping him stay up with maintenance are crew members Perry "P Dog" Burton and Mark Reynolds. Team sponsors include Dirtworx General Contracting, Mossy Oak Properties, Double Down Asphalt, Hauter Fireworks, Pappy's BBQ, Carrie's Place, Gunny's Mill, Queen City Bail Bonds, Vanzandt's Affordable Auto Repair and Simpson Performance Products. "We're just going to go out and try to make shows and have as much fun as we can," Vanzandt said. The MLRA season was scheduled to open last weekend with the Winter Meltdown at Tri-City Speedway, but that event was canceled due to wet grounds from heavy rain earlier in the week. Also in action Friday will be the POWRi Super Stocks running for $500 to win with the Show-Me Vintage Racers and Legends will be racing. On Saturday, the POWRi Super Stocks will be in action racing for $1,000 to win with the SMVR Show-Me Vintage Racers also on the program. POWRi Super Stocks, Legends and SMVR drivers are asked to fill out a MyRacePass driver profile sheet online to help the announcers. This weekend's action will be shown on Flo Racing and MAVTV and an updated profile info form would help immensely. A practice session will be held for all competitors racing this weekend will be held on Thursday night from 6-9 p.m. Pit passes are $30 with grandstand admission free. Limited concessions will be available on the pit side. The first 500 fans through the grandstand gate on Saturday will receive a free 2024 Lucas Oil Speedway schedule magnet courtesy City Magnet.

  Lucas Oil Speedway ready for 11th annual MLRA Spring Nationals this weekend

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 8, 2024) - Lucas Oil Speedway plays host to its first multi-night special of the season on Friday and Saturday with many of the nation's top Late Model stars expected for the 11th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Spring Nationals Presented by Arizona Sport Shirts. Chad Simpson of Mount Vernon, Iowa, will begin pursuit of a third straight series championship on Friday when the MLRA standouts compete for a $7,000 feature win. The stakes are even higher on Saturday with the feature winner collecting $20,000. Simpson earned three MLRA feature wins and seven top-five finishes in 2023 when he earned his fourth series championship. He finished 270 points in front of Chris Simpson of Oxford, Iowa. Third-place points finisher Dillon McCowan of nearby Urbana was third while earning MLRA Sunoco Rookie of the Year honors. The MLRA Series figures to be as competitive as ever. Four-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champion Earl Pearson Jr., announced recently that he and his Jason Rauen-owned team will follow the MLRA circuit this season from their base in Farley, Iowa. Pearson, 52, dropped from the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series last month citing a lack of crew help. That ended nearly a 20-year continuous run on the national series. Pearson has four career MLRA victories with his last coming in April 2019 at Thunderbird Speedway in Muskogee, Okla. The MLRA season was scheduled to open last weekend with the Winter Meltdown at Tri-City Speedway, but that event was canceled due to wet grounds from heavy rain earlier in the week. Also in action Friday will be the POWRi Super Stocks running for $500 to win with the Show-Me Vintage Racers and Legends will be racing. On Saturday, the POWRi Super Stocks will be in action racing for $1,000 to win with the SMVR Show-Me Vintage Racers also on the program.

  Tattershell captures Easter Bowl Enduro 150 as Lucas Oil Speedway opens season

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 6, 2024) - In order to capture the Easter Bowl Enduro 150 on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway, it took avoiding on-track mayhem and mechanical malfunction while also getting a passing grade in the post-race trip to the tech building. Will Tattershell of Bois D'Arc, Mo., was able to meet all three of those standards. As a result, despite taking the checkered flag in second place, Tattershell came away the $1,500 first prize in the headliner of Lucas Oil Speedway's season-opening program. Other feature winners included Logan Roark (POWRi Midwest Mods), Justin Wells (POWRi Hermitage Lumber Late Models) and Darin Porter (POWRi Pure Stocks). A total of 95 cars checked into the pits in the four divisions. The finale was the third annual marathon and it appeared that Derrek Wilson of Chanute, Kan., was the winner of the race that took one hour and four minutes to complete. Wilson took the lead with 45 laps remaining and held it to the finish, taking an apparent win over Tatterhsell by about a straightaway's margin. But Wilson was disqualified afterward when his car failed post-race inspection. Kevin Perkins of Sedalia took the lead on lap 47 and built an 11.6-second lead by lap 60. Alex Thomas cut the gap to just under six seconds when Perkins had a flat right-front tire on lap 84 and had to pull off, giving the lead to Thomas. Wilson was 9.1 seconds behind when Perkins went off, but he began to chase down Thomas. He caught him on lap 105, taking the lead in turn two. Tattershell was in third, 10 seconds behind Thomas as the only other car on the lead lap at that point. Wilson's lead was 4.7 seconds by lap 120 with Tattershell 7.2 behind the leader as the finish began to come into focus. Thomas, who set the early pace as he started on the pole, began to fade by lap 130 and surrendered the runner-up position to Tattershell with 20 to go. Wilson maintained his lead as the laps continued to click away. Tattershell kept cutting into the deficit, drawing within 4.5 seconds of Wilson with 10 laps to go. But Wilson cleared lapped traffic and was able to maintain his lead at just over four seconds with five remaining. Wilson, with earlier Enduro wins this season at Springfield Raceway and 81 Speedway, hung on from there and took the checkers 6.3 seconds clear of Tattershell. Bill Polzin of Creighton, Mo., officially wound up second with Thomas, of Macks Creek taking third followed by Blake Davidson and Jet Herrick. Roark earns Midwest Mods win: Logan Roark made the winning pass with five laps remaining and went on to earn the POWRi Midwest Mods feature victory in a race plagued by multiple early cautions. Jacob Hall started third and found his way into the lead on lap two, taking over from pole-starting Jacob Long. Roark, who started fifth, moved into the runner-up spot by last three and worked in the inside line to try and get around the leader. Finally getting some consistent green-flag laps after six cautions before five official laps were completed, Roark pulled alongside Hall on lap 15 and was able to get by for the lead. Roark, of Henley, Mo., held on from there. He worked through lapped traffic and finished .982 seconds in front of Hall. It was Roark's second feature win in two nights as he prevailed at Midway Speedway on Friday. "I was just trying to hit my marks every lap," Roark said of his strategy as he waited for some green-flag laps and the winning move. "I knew he had a good hot rod. Wow, what a race." Steve Muilenburg rallied from 10th to third with Pete Richardson winding up fourth and Scott Campbell was fifth. Justin Wells rolls in Late Models: The POWRi Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature winner was a familiar face. Justin Wells, who captured 11 feature wins last season at Lucas Oil Speedway, started the new season with a convincing triumph. Wells, of Aurora, beat Payton Looney by 2.8 seconds at the finish. He led all 25 laps with only two cautions delaying his march to victory lane and the $1,000 first prize. "You could add both the ages of the second and third place (drivers) and they're not my age," Wells said with a laugh. Justin Wells outgunned Cole Wells at the start and opened a 2.4-second lead by lap six, when the race's first caution flew. When action resumed, Payton Looney needed just two laps to move around Cole Wells for second. Catching the elder Wells was another matter. Justin Wells poured it on, opening a 3.3-second lead by lap 14 when a second caution wiped out the big lead with 11 to go. Wells gradually pulled away after the restart as the race stayed caution-free and rolled to the win over Looney, a former Show-Me 100 winner who was driving for Moon Brothers Racing. Tyler Kuykendall finished third with Jim Greenway fourth and Justin Russell fifth. Porter wires field in Pure Stocks: Darin Porter of California, Mo., led all 20 laps for the POWRi Pure Stocks feature victory. Porter started on the pole with Trevor Wilson to his outside and they ran 1-2 through the early portion with Robbie Jones in third. Porter had a 1.4-second lead at the midway point on lap 10 and his lead surpassed two seconds just two laps later. Without a caution over the final 15 laps to slow him down, the defending POWRi Pure Stocks national points champion kept rolling and beat Wilson by 3.6 seconds at the finish. Justin Pike wound up in third with Grayon McKinney fourth and Chris Tonoli in fifth.

  Dishing new dirt, plus 12 things to look for during the 2024 Lucas Oil Speedway season

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 3, 2024) - When drivers arrive for Lucas Oil Speedway's first event of the 2024 season on Saturday, they'll find a dirt surface refurbished in the offseason with 450 loads of new clay dirt. Through two preseason Open Test and Tune sessions, Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said the surface has been smooth. "We are learning it holds moisture more than before, but we are also in the rainy season and cool temperatures," Lorton said. "So it's hard to say if it will be the same when it starts warming up and we have hotter temps. Each night will be a learning curve for us, also." Lucas Oil Speedway starts its season with the 3rd annual Easter Bowl 150 Enduro headlining Saturday night's action. The 150-lap lap race will pay the winner $1,500. The Enduro will come at the end of a program that includes the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models racing for $1,000 to win. The POWRi Midwest Mods and POWRi Pure Stock going also will be in action with $500 to win in their features. The speedway is continuing to accept entries for the Enduro with entry fee $150. Drivers can preregister by calling into the speedway office at (417) 295-6048 and paying the entry fee via credit card or print off the entry form from the website and drop it off with the fee. Starting positions for the 150-lap, $1,500-to-win Enduro will be based on order of paid entries received. Drivers will start the race three-wide. Pit passes are $35. Pit gates will open at 4 p.m. with grandstands at 5 p.m., hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. Admission: Advance Discount Tickets online only (13 and up) - $12 Adults (13 and up) - $15 Seniors (62 and up)/Military - $12 Youth (ages 6-12) - $5 Kids (5 and under) - FREE Family Pass - $35 Pit Pass - $35 12 things to watch during the 2024 season: Big Lucas Oil MLRA kickoff: The Lucas Oil MLRA is back bigger than ever with the 11th annual Spring Nationals coming to Lucas Oil Speedway for a two-night show, April 12-13.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: Late Model veteran Walkenhorst ready for 25th year in sport

  WHEATLAND, MO. (March 19, 2024) - Joe Walkenhorst will mark a quarter-century driving a race car in 2024 when the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model season fires up at Lucas Oil Speedway. All but one of those years spent driving a Late Model. The feeling of wheeling the high-powered car around the dirt is an experience like no other, the 56-year-old resident of nearby Elkton said. "Late Models, just the feel of them, when they're really hooked up they feel like they're gonna throw you out the right side of the seat," Walkenhorst said of the appeal. "They are just so quick and fun." Walkenhorst will be looking to build off a strong 2023 season when action in the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series begins next month. He finished fourth in points a year ago with nine top-five finishes in 17 events, though most of his best runs came in the first half of the season. "Then I don't know what happened, but something went away on the car," Walkenhorst said. "I don't know if it was a shock or the rear-end. We ended up rebuilding the front end, the rear end, the middle, went through all the shocks. Finally, the last race of the year, we got it to come back. "All in all it was decent. Not what we were shooting for, but we got some pretty stiff competition there, too." Walkenhorst, a native of Lee's Summit, began racing in 1999 driving a Super Stock at Central Missouri Speedway in Warrensburg. He grew up going to the races to watch his dad, Ed Walkenhorst, drive a Late Model at I-70 Speedway in Odesssa. "I had to wait until I could afford to race," Walkenhorst said. "That's the biggest obstacle we had to overcome to go racing. But I started racing at Warrensburg in the Super Stock, which was basically a Late Model with a Stock stub, back in the day, and we had success from the git-go. We won four or five races the first year and the next year went to Super Late Models. That was quite a learning curve." Walkenhorst has raced nearly ever year since, though not always with a full schedule due to other commitments. He moved to Elkton, six miles south of Wheatland, a few years ago after his parents retired and bought a place there. "My dad decided that living in the city wasn't where he needed to be," Joe Walkenhorst said. "He found a farm in Elkton, just six miles south of the track. I bought three aces right next to them and built a house. I'm an only child and decided I needed to be close to them when they got to the age where they needed help." The only downside is a 230-mile round trip drive each workday to his job in Kansas City. That's why Walkenhorst said it's important to have good help in preparing his car, during the week and on race nights. Tony Allen, a former crewman for national-touring drivers Jason Papich and Earl Pearson Jr., has helped him the last couple of years. Garrett Eth has come on board to help daily maintenance and prep tires. Daughter Mariah Walkenhorst has been another mainstay in helping with crew duties. "Tony Allen has been with me last couple of years," Walkenhorst said. "He got tired of going on the road. We've been friends for a while and I told him, 'if you want come wrench for me on Saturday nights I'll buy you a pit pass and a hot dog and you can still get your racing fix and don't have to travel.' He's been great helping me set up the car and make the right adjustments. "Garrett Eth is a young kid wanting to learn and I'm getting him started on tires. It's a huge help for me. During the week I'm pretty much by myself and I'm on the road four hours a day. It helps to have a young buck to help out." Walkenhorst said his goals for this season are simple as he plans to race at Lucas Oil Speedway weekly. With the class under POWRi sanction, he also plans to hit some races at the track where he started, in Warrensburg. "I definitely want to get a win, if not multiple wins, and beat Justin," Walkenhorst said of Justin Wells, who dominated at the track last season. Joe drives a Black Diamond chassis that he bought from Wells a few years ago. "We're good friends and I take my whoppings accordingly," Walkenhorst said of Wells. "He's real good people." The Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series Weekly Opener is set for April 20th with all four divisions in action. The season-opening 3rd annual Easter Bowl Enduro 150 is set for April 6. Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models plus POWRi Midwest Mods and POWRi Pure Stocks will be in action that night.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: Scheffler looks for continued improvement in his second USRA Modified season

  WHEATLAND, MO. (March 6, 2024) - Greg Scheffler is keeping his goals simple heading into a new season of the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds at Lucas Oil Speedway. "Just do better than I did last year and try to get better finishes," said Scheffler, who finished a solid fourth last season in the Modified division, his first in that class after stepping up from B-Mods. Scheffler, from Pittsburg, Mo., wound up with four top-10 finishes in 14 features in 2023. It's telling that all four of those top-10s came in the second half of the season, which shows that he was settling into the class. "That was the first year I've been in an A Mod, so it didn't go too bad," Scheffler said, noting that horsepower was the biggest adjustment he had to make. "You can turn the car with the motor instead of having to keep your momentum up," Scheffler added. "I got better as the season went on. It was just a big learning curve. The rear suspension is a lot different than in a B Mod." Scheffler, 51, started racing back in 1992 as a 19-year-old in his native Nebraska. His dad raced on local tracks for 12-15 years before that and was a big influence on Gregg's career. "He helped me a lot with everything," Scheffler said. "Fabrication, welding, stuff like that where you could keep the car going and build stuff instead of having to buy it all the time. Scheffler drove a Bomber or Pure Stock for several years and won a points championship in the Bomber division in 1999 at Boone County Speedway in Albion, Neb. He moved into Street Stocks after the championship, but soon after took several years off from the sport to raise a family. After moving to Missouri a few years ago, he got back into the sport with wife Sandra playing a huge role. "My wife, she's into it as much as I am," Scheffler said. "My wife tries to learn everything about it. She's out in the shop as much as I am or more." They've been preparing the GRT-chassic for the upcoming season, which is fast approaching. Team sponsors include Eagle Machine, Jeff Knight 129th Missouri state representative, Performance Boat Center, Steve Scott Concrete, Cedar Furniture Lodge, Schuetz Construction, A&B Enterprise and BSB Manufacturing.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: 'Most Popular Driver' Franklin eager for more success

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Feb. 29, 2024) - Mitchell Franklin's long-sought first feature victory at Lucas Oil Speedway last June drew a loud ovation from the fans. It was a sign of things to come for the 25-year-old Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod driver from Camdenton. Following the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series season, Franklin was voted by the fans as the speedway's Most Popular Driver for the first time. He was humbled by the honor. "I know I have a bunch of fans because they always come and talk to me," Franklin said earlier this week. "But I was watching the video from the night I won. You can see the front stretch fans stand up and they're all hootin' and hollerin' for me. "It's a very humbling feeling when you see that. It makes you feel like you're doing something right. They're what keeps this sport going, so we need to make sure we take care of them." Franklin is eager to run it back in 2024 and see if he can win a few more features and build an even larger fan base. He's looking to debut a new Josh Franklin Motorsports car early in the season with plans to race most weeks at Lucas Oil Speedway while branching out and traveling to some big-money races around the Midwest. "We'll probably have to start out in our old car," Mitchell Franklin said. "We've got a new one built and we've got the tub in it, but can't really afford to (finish) putting it together until I sell my old car. If it doesn't sell before the season, I'll start with my old car. "He's keeping busy," Mitchell said of his dad's business, which builds Modifieds and Stock Cars. "I just hope we can continue our success this year and sell him some more cars." There was a lot of conversation after his first feature win whether Mitchell or Josh was more excited. "I was pretty excited, but I think he probably got more glory from that than I did," Mitchell said. "I was out front, minding my own race but dad was watching and felt the real suspense. My job was just to hit my marks, but he was able to see the cars behind me closing. "I rolled off turn two on the final lap and I saw him doing dang near cartwheels. It was probably about equal, but it was a great feeling for sure." With six top-five finishes in 12 Lucas Oil Speedway events, Mitchell Franklin continued his climb in 2023 as one of the area's rising B-Mod stars. He cemented his status with a final-night feature win at the USRA Nationals worth $2,000. Franklin said the win was nice, but wasn't as sweet as it should have been because it came after apparent winner JC Morton was disqualified in post-race tech inspection. That didn't diminish the strong run by Franklin, who started 21st in the main event. "We did start 21st and were able to pass 20 of the fastest cars around," Franklin said. "JC unfortunately had some difficulty in the tech shed. No one wants to win one that way. We were willing to take it just because of the prestige that race has and where we started. "We're kind of, I say a low-buck team. We don't have the funds some other teams have and we do it all ourselves. It was a huge win for us, really. But you want to jump around and scream, hoot and holler and stuff. You have to have respect for the other guy. He was on the highest of highs and it got taken away. We kept it low-key and celebrate among ourselves and didn't make too much of it. "We're gonna go try to win it straight-up this year," Franklin said, adding that he can't wait to get the new car to the track.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: Allison ready for busier Late Model season

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Feb. 6, 2024) - After one of the most-consistent seasons of any Lucas Oil Speedway driver, in any of the four Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series divisions, Bryon Allison is ready for even bigger things in 2024. Allison wound up second in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model class last season, 104.5 points behind track champion Justin Wells. While Allison did not win a feature, the veteran driver from Marshall posted 11 top-five finishes in 14 points races at Lucas Oil Speedway. "It was good," Allison said of his season. "We haven't got to race a lot over the last few years and the technology has changed quite a bit with the springs and stuff. We've been trying to get back up to speed with all of that stuff and as the year went on, we got consistently faster. The end of the year wound up really well. We'll just keep working on things." This year, Allison is excited about the opportunity to expand his role for the Moon Brothers Racing team out of Sedalia. Along the Black Diamond that Allison is set to drive in the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Models division, the team has added a newer Rocket chassis for Allison to do some open Late Model racing in Lucas Oil MLRA and Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series events visiting Wheatland. "Any time you get back into an open car, it's a lot of fun," said Allison, who has some past experience racing in the MLRA series. "It's exciting to get to race against some of the big teams. It's gonna be a fun year. Hopefully everything works out." Allison started his racing career in 1993 at Sedalia in the Street Stock division and after a couple of years moved into Super Stocks and began winning races. "Then I moved into Late Models and ran at Sedalia quite often and also ran at Wheatland Raceway, before it was Lucas Oil Speedway," Allison said. "For a few years we ran some MLRA stuff and finished top 10 in the MLRA several years ago. We've primarily just been running Late Models ever since." Allison ran the full season in 2023, racing 23 times overall after entering only 13 races combined the previous six seasons. The runner-up finish to Wells was an impressive season, all things considered. "Justin's tough," Allison said. "I've raced against him years ago in MLRA. He's smooth and he's good. Just a tough competitor. I like racing against him. He'll make you a better racer. He makes you think. You're gonna have to get up on the wheel to beat that guy." This winter has been spent preparing the cars, including getting a Durham Race Engines motor refreshed. Andy Durham, like Allison is a Marshall native. Durham is now based in North Carolina and has gone on to become one of the nation's top motor builders. "I've known Andy since he was a young kid," Allison said. "His family still lives here in Marshall. I talk to his dad and brother quite regularly and I've known Andy since way before he got started building engines. Everybody around here is proud of him. He's done a tremendous job for a kid building motors in a single garage to where he is now." Allison said another exciting thing in the season ahead is the racing debut of his 7-year-old grandson, Jackson Burton, who is going to start racing micro-sprints. "My wife is gonna have to split time between our racing and our grandson's," Bryon said. "This will be his first year and we're really excited about that."
