  USRA Nationals Spotlight: Shadren Turner enjoys dream season in B-Mod championship chase

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 28, 2022) - Reviewing his 2022 results before the upcoming biggest week of the season, the 9th annual Summit USRA Nationals, Shadren Turner has plenty to feel good about regardless of what happens the rest of the way. "It's been amazing, really," Turner said of 28 feature victories and a second-place standing in USRA B-Mod national points headed into the week-long extravaganza that begins with practice on Monday at Lucas Oil Speedway. Turner, a 24-year-old from St. Joseph, is 49 points behind Joe Chisholm of Osage, Iowa. It's easily been Turner's best season to date, more than double his previous season best of 11 feature wins in 2021. "We've won at 11 different tracks this year. That's where we have our most fun, seeing different places and enjoying different competition every week," Turner said. Turner credits his success to an affiliation with car owner Troy Whitt and a new J2 Race car the team debuted this year. The consistency has been phenomenal, with 38 top-five finishes in 59 events. "This is my first full year of driving for Troy Whitt. He owns everything and his son, Jeffrey Whitt and his wife, Lori Whitt, and their nephew Andrew Long make up a team with me and my dad," Turner said. "They do all the work and put me in really, really good equipment. "I'm lucky this year to just show up and drive the absolute best stuff possible. They've gone above and beyond. The combination of having some really good car owners like them and we have a J2 Race Car built by Kris and Tony Jackson. That has been amazing as well. "That combination has helped me have a complete dream season that I never would have imagined. It's definitely been awesome." Turner said he got to know Troy Whitt the last couple of years through his relationship with Kris Jackson. When Whitt made it known he was looking for a quality driver to put in his car, Jackson got in touch with Turner and recommended he pursue the opportunity. The rest, as they say, has been history. Ironically, some of Turner's toughest competition has been Jackson when the two have been at common events. "It's tough to beat Kris, no matter what," Turner said. "But one thing about Kris that I really admire about him, I truly think he wants as much success for his customers as for himself. We've been lucky enough to be able to beat him a few times this year. Obviously he's beat us, like he has everybody else. "We work really good together. Whoever does better between us or any of his other customers, he seems to be really happy and we are too if somebody from the J2 team can get up there and win. I don't think I would be running as good as Kris, or being competitive with him, if it wasn't for Kris himself. He's been a huge part of my success." Turner began racing as a five-year-old in go-karts. He got into his first B-Mod at the age of 13 and has continued to evolve from there. He credits his dad, Mark Turner, for putting him on the early road to success. Mark Turner drove Modifieds for a brief time when Shadren was young. "He only raced 3-5 years," Turner said. "That's where I fell in love with it, being there with him. Whenever I became old enough to get into go-karts, dad stopped racing himself and got me going. He's definitely sacrificed a lot over the years to let me race. "My first year (in B-Mods) was at Valley Speedway, the only track at the time that would allow me to race at 13. My closest tracks are Lakeside and I-35. Those two are where I have the most laps. It kind of progressed from where we stayed around those two places the first few years and after that did a little more traveling. "Now that we have (the Whitts), I've been able to go all kinds of places." Whether or not he's able to overtake Chisholm in the USRA championship battle, Turner said winning the USRA Nationals final-night feature would be a career highlight if they can make it happen. The team already has one feature win at Lucas Oil Speedway this season, on June 11. "We've won some pretty big races in our eyes this year, but like anything you want to keep doing bigger and bigger things," Turner said. "To win the USRA Nationals would be the biggest win of my career, if we could pull that off." Team sponsors include 54th St. Grill & Bar, Milliken's Lawn and Landscaping, Chip Harris Heating & Cooling, Champion Oil, J2 Race Car, KS Engineering, Cameron Glass and St. Joe Auto Fabric. The Summit USRA Nationals will feature action in eight different divisions under the United States Racing Association banner. The marathon event begins its six-night run on Monday with a practice night from 6-10 p.m. Racing in some, but not all of the classes, will begin the following night and go through the big finale on the final night. The Summit Shootout also returns this year and will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and feature USRA track champions and Summit Shootout qualifying race winners to compete in this one-of-a-kind battle for Modified, Stock Car, B-Mod and Hobby Stock competitors.

  Johnson, Randall take home feature victories in Hockett-McMillin Memorial finales at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 17, 2022) - An old pro and a youngster celebrated feature victories Saturday night at the 12th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway. The veteran was Wayne Johnson, a two-time Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint champion who picked up his second Hockett-McMillin triumph in the winged portion of the open-wheel major. Earlier, 18-year-old Chase Randall drove to victory in the POWRi War Sprint feature. The victories, in front of a big crowd on the finale of the three-night event, were memorable for both drivers. The Hockett-McMillin Memorial recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, from Warsaw, Missouri, 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. Eight-starting Johnson, of Oklahoma City, took the lead on lap 25 and held it the rest of the way in the 40-lap ASCS feature to capture his second Hockett-McMillin Memorial. Johnson outdistanced runner-up Blake Hahn to earn the $10,000 prize. "He's like a second dad to me," an emotional Johnson said in victory lane, standing next to Jack Hockett, Jesse's father. "I loved the boy. Jesse was like a brother to me. We did a lot together." Dylan Westbrook started on the pole and cleared to the early lead with the third-starting Sam Hafertepe settling in behind him. Three-time Hockett-McMillin winner Hafertepe grabbed the lead coming off turn two on lap five and quickly pulled away to a 1.5-second cushion over Westbrook over the next two laps. Aryton Gennetten moved into the runner-up position by lap nine with Westbrook falling back into third. The leaders hit lapped traffic by that point and Gennetten, using the low groove, was able to cut the lead to just under one second before Hafertepe again opened it up to 1.66 seconds before the race's first caution appeared on lap 15. Johnson, 51, made his way past Gennetten for second on the restart with Blake Hahn moving into third as Gennetten fell back. That's the way the top four were running when another caution slow things on lap 19, when Hafertepe's lead was a half-second over Johnson. Hafertepe, Johnson and Hahn broke away from the field after the restart and Johnson, hugging the low groove, took his first lead coming out of turn four to complete lap 25. Johnson said it felt like fate was on his side at that point. "Every one of them damn cautions came out at the right time. I lost the brakes," Johnson said. "I'm sure my brake rotors were glowing. I had no pedal left every time the caution came out and it saved my butt. I'm pretty sure ol' Jesse wanted me to win this race and he got them cautions for me." Johnson wasted no time opening a two-second lead as Hahn moved into second and Hafertepe fell back to third. Johnson was 1.8 seconds in front when a red flag on lap 30, for Westbrook's flip in turn two, brought the action to a halt. Westbrook, who was running eighth, climbed from the car without assistance. That left 10 laps to go when action resumed Johnson roared away from Hahn to add a Hockett-McMillin trophy to the one he earned in 2016. Johnson finished 1.3 seconds in front of 2019 winner Hahn with Bogucki coming home in third. Hahn said he had mixed feelings about coming up short. While disappointed he did not win, he was able to ride on seven cylinders to the finish. "About halfway through the race we had some motor issues," Hahn said. "We had 20 laps to go with it bogging down, but thankfully she held. It's just pretty frustrating. I felt like I owed it to my team to pick up a victory. We had a really good car tonight, but to be able to finish on the podium with seven cylinders is something to be proud of." Hafertepe settled for fourth with Matt Covington rallying from 11th to fifth. Randall takes command late for WAR win: Chase Randall took command with eight laps remaining and held on to earn the 30-lap POWRi WAR Sprint feature victory. The 18-year-old from Waco, Texas, earned $4,077 for the triumph. Randall beat Mario Clouser by .602 seconds to back up his Friday-night preliminary feature victory. Clouser had won on Thursday and the two started on the front row of Saturday's big finale. "Man, this is an awesome weekend," said Randall, who also ran in the ASCS Sprint feature. "We came here to run non-wing just for fun with the ASCS and I think we might fun it a little bit more now. The car's obviously working well. My dad has this EMI chassis tuned up well. "This kind of track just suits my style, just throw it up in there and hope it sticks. It was a great race with Mario." Clouser, of Chatham, Illinois, used a slider in turn three to take the lead from Randall as the two front-row starters dueled on the opening lap. He was able to clear out to a 1.6-second lead by lap seven as Wyatt Burks closed in on the rear of Randall. The race's first caution flew on lap seven and bunched the field for a restart. Clouser maintained command as green-flag action resumed, but another caution slowed the field on lap nine. Just as Clouser had rebuilt a 1.5-second lead by lap 14, his margin again was negated by the event's third yellow flag just one lap shy of the halfway mark. Clouser didn't get away as easily on the next restart, with Randall, defending race champ Wesley Smith and Burks closely following before a lap-19 caution waved. Randall used a slide job out of turn four to take the lead for the first time, on lap 22. Clouser stalked him over the next several laps, briefly going in front in turn two on lap 27, but was unable to make it stick. "He threw a hail Mary slide job at the end and I didn't see it coming until the last second," Randall said. "It was a good race." Randall held on the rest of the way to pick up the victory, finishing about three car lengths in front of Clouser who admitted his disappointment in coming up just short of his first Hockett-McMillin victory. "I don't know if I just ran it too hard there early and burnt the tire off it, but we definitely didn't have anything left at the end," Clouser said. "I don't even know what to say. I didn't want to run second tonight, at all. "It's especially frustrating. We've been fast here, but haven't been able to get it done on Saturday yet." Smith wound up third with Casey Shuman fourth and Burks coming home in fifth.

  Gennetten, Randall capture Night 2 feature wins at 12th annual Hockett-McMillin Memorial

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 16, 2022) - Night Two of the 12th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial saw a pair of youthful open-wheel drivers picking up feature victories at Lucas Oil Speedway. Ayrton Gennetten, 23, visited victory lane for the first time in the Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Series, while Chase Randall drove to the POWRi WAR Sprint victory on his 18th birthday. The main events are set for Saturday night with $10,000 awaiting the ASCS winged-sprint feature winner and $4,077 going to the WAR non-wing champ. Drivers have spent Thursday and Friday preliminary nights building points toward starting positions for Saturday's big finale at one of sprint-car racing's majors. The Hockett-McMillin Memorial recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, from Warsaw, Missouri, 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. Gennetten, of nearby Versailles, Missouri, took over the lead on lap eight of the 25-lapper and went on to capture the $3,000 ASCS feature. He beat early leader and pole-starter Dylan Westbrook by 2.5 seconds. The low groove was good to Gennetten who said he was able to utilize the shortest way around the track to move into contention as the leaders rode the high line. "I thought I was gonna want to be on the top, but the bottom was so good," Gennetten said in victory lane, noting the WAR drivers "barely moved off" the low groove in their feature a few minutes prior. "The first four rows jumped out in front of me and Sam (Haftertepe) and none of them went down there. I thought, 'I'm not gonna beat these guys following them,' so I moved down there," Gennetten said. "We've been horrible all week, just struggling and struggling and struggling. "Finally, we were like 'let's keep trying and trying and trying.' We found some stuff there. I found the groove before anybody else." Fourth-starting Gennetten grabbed the lead away from pole-starting Westbrook coming to the start-finish line to conclude lap eight. By lap 12 he had opened a 1.5-second command over Westbrook and it was a full two seconds by lap 15. Landon Crawley advanced into the runner-up position on lap 18, going around Westbrook, but he was 3.1 seconds behind Gennetten who was nearly a straightaway-margin in front. Gennetten cruised from there as the ASCS feature went caution-free for the second straight night. Gennetten prevailed over Westbrook, who fought back to the second in the final laps. "It's a hometown race and obviously it's awesome to win tonight, but our goal is to go and win tomorrow and keep the Jesse Hockett (trophy) in Missouri," Gennetten said. Ninth-starting Roger Crockett finished third with Crawley settling for fourth and Hafertepe in fifth. It's a WAR birthday celebration for Randall: Chase Randall of Waco, Texas, led the first four laps and the final four to capture the POWRi WAR Sprint feature win, holding off defending Hockett-McMillin champ Wesley Smith of Nixa over the final laps. Randall made the winning pass on lap 22 of the 25-lapper, going past Landon Simon who had led 17 circuits before settling for third place. "This is a great win and a good win for our team," said Randall, who celebrated his 18th birthday with the $2,000 win. "We came down to this non-winged race to have some fun and get some experience. It's turned out to be a good weekend. We're learning a lot. "What better way to celebrate your birthday than to get a win." Randall, whose primary focus has been winged sprints, took the early lead from his outside row one starting position and set the pace through four laps before Simon grabbed the lead coming out of turn four to complete lap five. Simon quickly opened up a three-second lead over Randall by lap 12 with Zach Daum in third and pole-starting Smith in fourth. As the action remained caution-free, Simon stretched his command to 3.69 seconds by the time he hit lapped traffic on lap 16. That's when the race's first caution flew, for a three-car mishap in turn one, wiping out the leader's cushion. Randall and Smith started right behind Simon as green-flag action resumed. Simon continued to lead, but it was a dogfight and Randall regained the top spot with a lap-22 pass on the outside coming down the front straightaway. "I got really lucky there was a restart there. I knew my one shot would be on the restart," Randall said. Randall hung on to beat Smith by .173 seconds with Simon third and Jack Wagner coming home in fourth. "We were just a little too tight early and I lost a lot of spots," said Smith. "Things didn't go our way the first 15 laps, but after the caution, I don't know what happened. The bottom kind of went away and me and Chase found the top. We were fast at the end, but Chase drove a smart race."

  Crawley, Clouser earn feature wins as 12th annual Hockett-McMillin Memorial opens at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 15, 2022) - Veteran Tim Crawley led all the way to pick up the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series feature win on opening night of the 12th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway. Meanwhile, Illinois' Mario Clouser was first to the checkers on the non-wing side of things as he earned the POWRi WAR Sprint main event Thursday night. A total of 107 cars, including 78 ASCS Sprints, were in action on Thursday with the other half of the WAR Sprints scheduled to compete on Friday night for their preliminary program. Drivers in both divisions are compiling points toward the starting field on Saturday night. The event recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, from Warsaw, Missouri, 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. Crawley, of Benton, Arkansas, started up front and led all 25 laps en route to the $3,000 Lucas Oil ASCS feature victory. He held off Derek Hagar in a race that ran caution-free and took only 7 minutes, 4 seconds. "We work out butts off and this is what makes it all worthwhile," Crawley said. "We lost a good friend at home this week to cancer and then here's the Jesse and McMillin deal here. This all means a lot to me, it really does." Crawley points to his trophy and noted that he already has one Hockett-McMillin prelim trophy on his wall at home. "Here's another and we've got two more nights. I've got room for two more," Crawley said in victory lane. Saturday night's finale pays $10,000 to the ASCS feature winner. Crawley, starting outside of row one, grabbed the lead at the start but Hagar and Joe B. Miller were close behind through the first five laps. By lap 10, Crawley had gradually built a 1.5-second lead over Hagar in the extended green-flag run. He was able to navigate lapped traffic to maintain the margin as the laps quickly clicked away and opened a 2.2-second command with five remaining. Crawley held on from there to beat fellow Arkansas driver Hagar by 1.2 seconds. Mark Smith finished third with Miller fourth and Wayne Johnson in fifth. "We got to the lead and I started creeping down and once I got into the rubber, I didn't push it too hard," Crawley said. "I knew it was going to be hard to pass and I wasn't going to get out of line. I actually let the lapped cars go. I started pedaling and hitting my marks. "Sometimes you don't have to lap a whole bunch of cars to win, you just have to stay in position and that's what I was trying to do." Clouser earns POWRi WAR win: Mario Clouser of Chatham, Illinois, took control after an early back-and-forth battle and led the final 20 laps to earn his 13th career POWRi WAR Sprint feature victory. Clouser beat Wyatt Burks by just over a second to locked himself into Saturday night's $4,077-to-win main event. "I was a little nervous there. Wyatt got by us a couple of times early and I had to kind of hustle to get him back," Clouser said after his $2,000 triumph. Clouser said Burks showed him a line early in the race of using the high groove in turns one and two and the low line in three and four. "I was afraid that might be the scenario. It's up over the edge there off four," Clouser said. "You just can't carry enough momentum there to make it work. I won one here a couple of years ago where you had to run high down there and low down here." Clouser, who set fast qualifying time earlier in the evening before winning his heat race, started on the pole and led the opening lap. But Isaac Chapple used a pass out of turn four to lead lap two before the two swapped places again on lap five. A close battle between the leaders began to see separation by lap 12 as Clouser opened a two-second lead over Chapple. Wyatt Burks moved into second a lap later with seventh-starting Schudy advancing to fourth. Clouser's lead hit 2.5 seconds by lap 17 as he weaved his way through lapped traffic. That comfortable margin was wiped away, however, when a caution flag flew with eight laps to go. Clouser was able to hang onto the lead after the restart, holding off Burks by 1.08 seconds with Joe B. Miller rallying from 13th to third. Xavier Domey finished fourth with Casey Shuman fifth. "It's good to get a prelim-night win," Clouser said. "We just need to finish it on Saturday. We've been close a couple of times. It would be nice to seal the deal and get one. I really want to win this race, probably worse than any race in the country right now."

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: WAR sprint champ Schudy seeks elusive Hockett-McMillin Memorial triumph

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 13, 2022) - After finishing off his first Lucas Oil POWRi WAR Sprint League championship, Kory Schudy can envision no better way to top it off than winning one of his sport's biggest events. "It's a big race for us. It's huge," Schudy said of the 12th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial, kicking off its three-day run on Thursday at Lucas Oil Speedway. "For us regional guys, it's the biggest race of the year," continued Schudy, a 37-year-old from Springfield who has already locked up the POWRi WAR points chase. "We look at Jesse Hockett as a local legend. You definitely want to put your name on that win list." Schudy thought 2021 might have been his year, driving to a feature win on a preliminary night. But he came up short in the big show on Saturday, finishing fifth after winding up fourth the previous year. "It would mean everything," Schudy said of winning the final-night feature, worth $4,077 and a priceless amount of prestige. "We've won some races around here, but that one keeps eluding us. Last year was definitely our best shot. They did a little track prep right before the race and we missed it just a little bit and that was on us. "Hopefully, everything goes right and this can be our year." More than 60 entries already are in the WAR field, which will run split-field preliminary nights on Thursday and Friday, leading up to Saturday finale. Feature winners the first two nights will earn $2,000. The event recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, from Warsaw, Missouri, 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. Schudy said he didn't have a chance to race against Hockett, but saw him race many times and that made a lasting impression when finally making the transition from micro-sprints to midgets and eventually wingless sprint cars. "He definitely was a true talent," Schudy said of Hockett. Schudy has earned three WAR feature victories this season en route to the title, a season after earning the USAC Midwest Wingless Racing Association title in 2021. "We only had one or two nights that weren't up to par, but we had three wins and finished second a lot," he said of the 2022 season. "It's definitely been a season to be proud of." It's been the continuation of a successful partnership with Jon Sawyer Racing over the last few years. "It's been a pretty good run with us," said Schudy, who noted the partnership began in 2016. "He's in Strafford, we're in Springfield. When you're running Midgets, you know the guys in this area that have 'em," Schudy said. "It happened to work out one year at the Chili Bowl that I was looking for a ride and we were parked next to each other. It was kind of meant to be." Schudy is quick to credit brother Kris Schudy with taking care of the car at the track, plus a strong core of sponsors that have been around for multiple years. In addition to Jon Sawyer Racing, those include Empire Energy, VP Fuels, Champion Oil, Hughs Brothers, Sprint Lawn Care and Vehicles Unlimited. The goal this weekend is to again have a successful preliminary night to gain a favorable starting position on Saturday, then let the chips fall where they may. "It's a big event with over 60 cars entered," Schudy said. "You have to have some luck on your side and get through your prelim night. It definitely helps to get locked in and start up front with the competition that comes in for this one." On the winged side of the action, the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series will point toward a $10,000 feature payoff on Saturday after $3,000-to-win preliminary night features. ASCS format for the three-night affair has been adjusted to remove the duel heat-race format in favor of the current qualifying format utilized by the Lucas Oil ASCS. One difference from the current format will be that teams will hot lap and qualify at the same time, with each hot lap-qualifying group split so no more than five cars will be on track at one time. Drivers will complete all three nights with event points awarded every time a driver enters the track in order to set the field on Saturday. Event points are different from the qualifying/passing points and are not used to set nightly lineups. The change comes as tires continue to be an issue across the industry, as well as eliminate unnecessary time on the track to quicken the event and reduce wear on the cars. The heat and qualifier format was used to take the issue of the draw out of the equation, but with the current ASCS National Tour format, that has been addressed. J.J. Hickle of Quilcene, Washington, captured the ASCS final-night feature one year ago at the Hockett-McMillin Memorial while Wesley Smith of Nixa, Missouri, is reigning champ of the POWRi WAR Sprint League.

The Saturday-night feature winner will earn $10,000 with Thursday and Friday feature winners earning $3,000. A pair of former Hockett-McMillin champions lead the ASCS National Series points battle heading into the season's home stretch.

  Jackson Jr. rolls to victory at Lucas Oil MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 3, 2022) - The late-season hot streak continues for Tony Jackson Jr., this time with a victory on a track near home. Jackson took the lead on lap 12 and rolled from there, capturing the 8th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. The driver from Lebanon earned a total $9,250, including $1,500 in bonus money from Mary Jenkins for the win plus $750 for setting fast qualifying time. A total of 108 cars, including 33 Late Models, checked into the pits in the annual Labor Day Weekend special which honors the builder of the original Wheatland Raceway, Ron Jenkins. Other feature winners were Matt Johnson (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds), Kris Jackson (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods Presented by the Titan B-Mod Series) and Bryan White (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). The main event saw Jackson take command just past the quarter mark of the 40-lapper. The 2021 MLRA champ went on to capture third third series feature win in the last month in a new Capital Race Car. Jackson said he was content to stalk the leader early after conferring with Capital owner Marshal Green prior to the action on chassis set-up. "I knew he was going to be tough," Jackson said of early leader Kolby Vandenbergh. "He runs really good here. When I went over it with Marshal tonight, that was just how we planned on it. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't." Vandenbergh beat Jackson to the lead at the start in a battle of front-row starters and those two sprinted away to set the early pace, with Billy Moyer Jr., running third and Logan Martin fourth. Jackson dipped to the inside groove by lap seven and pulled alongside Vandenbergh over the next several laps, taking the lead at the start-finish line to complete lap 12. The race's first caution flew the next time around when Moyer, running third, slowed to a stop in turn one. Martin slipped past Vandenbergh on the restart with Oberkramer taking over the third spot. Martin was right behind Jackson as those two opened a one-second lead over Oberkramer by the race's midpoint of lap 20. Vandenbergh slowed, then pulled off the track, to bring out a caution at that point and bunch the leaders that included MLRA points leader Chad Simpson in fourth and Payton Looney fifth. Oberkramer used the restart to navigate around Martin to move into second. Jackson opened up a 1.2-second lead when the race's third caution for a slowing Brennon Willard wiped out Jackson's advantage with 13 to go. "It's always good to have one of your buddies behind you," Jackson said of Oberkramer, who also drives a Capital and pits alongside Jackson. "But Mason had come from a long way back, so I was nervous also. I knew he has a good car. "I was a lot more comfortable there when I was able to roll around the middle, but I had to go back up (to the cushion) and do some work." Jackson stretched his lead to 1.6 seconds by lap 35 and was able to get around lapped traffic the rest of the way to earn his third MLRA victory in the last five series events. Jackson finished 1.53 seconds in front of Oberkramer for his 14th career MLRA feature win. Martin wound up third with Simpson fourth and Looney in fifth. Oberkramer, from Broseley, Missouri, said he was pleased with the outcome after starting from the sixth position. "I'm gonna count this as a win for us," Oberkramer said. "Ever since we got this car from Marshal, we just haven't been able to hit it here. It's like Lucas has been my nemesis and it used to be one of my favorite tracks. To finally land a good podium finish and be back up, where we belong, it feels reassuring." Jackson began the night in fast fashion, setting the quickest qualifying lap at 15.302 seconds. Blair Nothdurft drove from 21st to 8th to earn the Hard Charger Award, picking up an extra $750 award courtesy of Mary Jenkins. The MLRA weekend swing concludes on Sunday night at the Randolph County Raceway in Moberly. Johnson rolls to USRA Modified victory: Matt Johnson of Archie led all the way, beating two-time reigning track champion Dillon McCowan by 2.6 seconds, for the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature win. "I knew that 7 (McCowan) was right there and I didn't have time to mess around," said Johnson, who earned $1,000 for his third victory of the season. "Dillon is a lot of fun to race with, as are these other guys." Johnson grabbed the early lead from his outside front-row starting position with McCowan moving from fifth to second by lap four. Those two soon pulled away to a 1.5-second gap over third-place Dustin Hodges. The leaders encountered lapped traffic with Johnson's lead over McCowan expanding to six car lengths by lap 15 and double that by lap 20. Johnson remained solid the rest of the way as the action remained caution-free, pulling away to earn the victory. Titan B-Mod win to Jackson: Lebanon's Kris Jackson captured his seventh Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win of the Lucas Oil Speedway season, taking home $1,000 for the Titans B-Mod Series 25-lapper. Jackson led all the way, but fought off Mitchell Franklin in the early stages before finally opening up a cushion over the final 10 laps. It was his 23rd overall feature win of 2022. "I thought for a second me and Mitchell were going to be side-by-side for 20 laps," Jackson said. "I've got a lot of respect for that young man and his father (Josh). They build their own race cars and do a whale of a job. Mitchell's a smooth racer and we share an engine builder. "I wanted to give him all the room that he would need. We had a nice, good race. I was just praying that if I could keep a nose in front of him and we could get a caution, I felt it would be the deal-breaker." Franklin pulled alongside Jackson on the outside several times during the opening 10 laps, but was unable to get by. Jackson kept hugging the low line to maintain his lead as a caution flew on lap 11 to slow the action. Shadren Turner moved into second on the restart, but Franklin regained second by lap 14. As those two swapped position, Jackson took advantage and opened a 1.1-second lead. Jackson kept stretching it out from there as the action remained under the green flag the rest of the way. He finished 2.2 seconds in front of Turner with Franklin third, Robbe Ewing fourth and Sheets taking fifth. Bryan White scores USRA Stock Cars win: Bryan White patiently stalked the leader before finally taking over the top spot with five laps remaining and went on to take the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars main event. Front-row starters William Garner and White set the pace the first portion of the race, with Wille settling into third as the trio separated from the field by more than 15 car lengths. White hugged the bottom groove to pull alongside Garner repeatedly, but was unable to nudge past as the two young Lebanon drivers dueled. A caution flew on lap 16 when fifth-place running Doug Keller spun in turn four. As the race resumed, the battle up front resumed with Garner in the middle of the track and White inside. White finally edged past coming to the completion of lap 20 held on from there as he held off Garner by one car length. Wille was third, on Garner's back bumper. "It was real fun. Me and Will were racing side by side there for several laps and it was real fun," said White, who earned $750 a week after wrapping up the regular-season championship. The top three were separated by .679 seconds. Mason Beck, who started 11th, finished fourth and James McMillin came home fifth.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Rejuvenated Jackson returns for 8th annual MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 1, 2022) - With two recent Lucas Oil MLRA feature wins in his pocket, Tony Jackson Jr., will bring a renewed enthusiasm to Lucas Oil Speedway for Saturday night's 8th annual Ron Jenkins Memorial. A rough start to the season, including failing to qualify for the Show-Me 100 big show at Lucas Oil Speedway, led Jackson to sell his stable of Late Model cars and take a break to regroup. Armed with a new Capital Race Car, the 25-year racing veteran from Lebanon returned a couple of weeks ago to capture MLRA events in Iowa. "I feel rejuvenated and blessed to be where we're at," Jackson said. The Ron Jenkins Memorial, paying tribute to the man who built the original Wheatland Raceway, is the final Late Model special of the season at Lucas Oil Speedway. The Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds will run for $1,000 to win and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars will have a $750 feature prize. The Ozark Golf Car USRA B-Mods will battle for a special $1,000-to-win top prize Presented by the Titan B-Mod Series. Jackson, the MLRA Series champion in 2013 and 2021, said he took a brief break over the summer when results weren't up to par and his cars just didn't feel right. "I don't know, I'd raced for a long time and I knew what kind of feel you look for and I didn't feel that I had it," Jackson said. "Obviously everybody thinks they can get the job done, but you start doubting yourself. "I had no intentions of quitting. I just needed to regroup. That's what we did. We kind of stopped, took a deep breath and rebuilt on a program that we know what it takes to win." The connection to Capital Race Cars owner Marshal Green made sense, Jackson said, because he had known Green for a long time and he recommended a Capital car to fellow area racer and friend Payton Looney a few years ago. Looney went on to win the 2019 Show-Me 100 in his Capital, giving the Georgia-based company additional national credibility. "Payton was at a point where he was struggling and I told him that Marshal was a very good person and he went that route," Jackson said. "He's had a bunch of success and at the same time, when I was struggling, I was talking to Payton and he's like 'I think you'd be happy with a Capital.' "I had stayed in contact with Marshal and it was just an easy move." But winning right out of the box with a new car is pretty rare. Jackson said Green's advice seemed to fit perfectly from the get-go. "It just fit me, the way we talk and communicate," Jackson said. "You want good balance in your race car and it was just a really good race car when we unloaded. "We definitely have a lot of confidence and momentum going forward." Jackson said his goals the rest of the way are simple. His time away from racing didn't affect any plans to chase points, as he intended all along to be selective with his racing choices. "It was a kind of a weird year. We had no points racing plans," he said. "Business is really busy and my daughter is getting older. We planned on hitting a lot of the bigger-paying shows ... but we just had no speed, so we stopped and regrouped. "Now we're going again and look forward to trying to win as many races as possible and just basically build our notebook with these cars and be ready to come out strong next year." Last year, he drove Chad Wheeler's Modified at the USRA Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway and would consider hopping in someone else's ride again this October if given the opportunity. "I like supporting all the local tracks around," Jackson said. "I'm still that guy who just likes to race. If somebody gives me something to race, I'll go race it." The $7,000-to-win, $700-to-start Lucas Oil MLRA event is the middle night of a three-race MLRA swing that begins Friday at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, and concludes Sunday at Randolph County Raceway in Moberly. Chad Simpson of Mount Vernon, Iowa, will be looking to continue his pursuit of the MLRA season championship. He begins the weekend with a 280-point lead over his nearest pursuer, Kolby Vandenbergh of Ashland, Illinois. Grandstands and the pits open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.

  Bryan White wins family affair for USRA Stock Car championship; McCowan, Jackson, Ferris also wrap up Lucas Oil Speedway titles

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 27, 2022) - Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night at Lucas Oil Speedway saw three of the four championship chases decided by less than 25 points. In action Presented by Bill Roberts Chevrolet-Buick and On Media, the closest battle came in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars, with Bryan White's second-place feature finish enough to edge out his dad, Rob White, for the championship. Other Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series track champions crowned on Saturday night were Dillon McCowan (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds), Kris Jackson (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Larry Ferris (Hermitage Lumber Late Models). McCowan also celebrated with a feature win, making his night doubly sweet. Rodney Schweizer captured the Stock Cars feature victory, Ryan Gillmore earned a B-Mod feature thriller and Tucker Cox grabbed the Late Model main event. Bryan White, who began the night 12 points ahead of Rob, finished third with Rob in second. The unofficial final margin between the two was eight points. Mason Beck, who began the night two points behind Bryan White, ran 15th to fall back to third in the points. "I'd like to thank everybody on my car, my family over here and everybody who helps me every week," Bryan White said. "It's just a dream, really, to even win a race over here let alone a championship." Pole-starting Schweizer, Dean Wille and Robert White ran 1-2-3 through the first 11 laps, with a caution slowing the field at that point. Rob White moved into second on the restart, with Bryan White advancing two spots and into fourth. Bryan White advanced into third and onto the back bumper of his dad on lap 14, which made it where he could clinch the title by staying there. Schweizer barely held off Rob White's attempted pass for the lead on lap 18 when a two-car incident in turn one brought out a caution to set up a two-lap shootout. The top three remained the same taking the white flag with Bryan White bumped past his dad in turn two of the final lap - but a spin on the other end of the track brought out one more yellow to leave a one-lap sprint to the checkers. Schweizer, of Kansas City, Kan., held on for the win by one car length over Rob White with Bryan White third. "We've had enough seconds this year. It's about time," Schweizer said after the win. Wille wound up fourth with William Garner charging from 14th to fifth. McCowan doubles up in USRA Mods: Dillon McCowan of Urbana enjoyed a double celebration, winning both the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature while also nailing down his second straight track championship. McCowan beat Dustin Hodges, his nearest points competitor, by 1.9 seconds after taking over the lead on lap five. He held it the rest of the way in a caution-plagued 20-lapper. McCowan was driving a yellow No. 7 wrap modeled after cars his grandfather, A.D. McCowan, used to own. Dillon switched to the color scheme from his familiar green and white No. 8 after midseason. "I don't even know what to say. This is huge," McCowan said in victory lane. "Being here with my grandpa's wrap on, it's very special even though he couldn't be here. I'm just really excited to get this done for him. "It was a close battle between me and Dustin and I was glad we were able to seal the deal." McCowan began the night 17 points in front of Hodges in the points battle and he began the feature starting in fifth, two spots ahead of Hodges. He stayed in front of him throughout. Dylan Hoover started on the pole and set the pace through five laps while McCowan worked his way into second with Tracy Wolf in third. McCowan got a big run on a lap-six restart to take the lead, getting around Hoover in turn two. Two laps later, Dowell moved past Hoover and into the runner-up position. McCowan's lead was nearly two seconds over Dowell when a lap-12 caution slowed the action. Despite two more cautions the rest of the way, McCowan was able to handle each restart and went on to capture his seventh feature win of the season to go along with the championship. Hoover finished third with Dowell fourth and Nic Bidinger in fifth. Jackson makes it seven titles in USRA B-Mods: Ryan Gillmore beat JC Morton by a couple of feet in one of the closest finishes of the season, earning the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature. The race had six lead changes between the duo. The big prize, though, went to Lebanon's Kris Jackson whose fourth-place finish was good enough for his Lucas Oil Speedway-record seventh track championship and fourth in a row. He also earned championships in 2012, 2013 and 2014. "We weren't as good as we wanted to be tonight," Jackson said. "We kind of played it a little safe and rode around the bottom and just made sure we finished in the top five." Gillmore started the night 30 points behind Jackson and did all he could, winning his third feature of the season. But it wasn't quite enough - though his scant margin of victory over Morton (.036 seconds) gave the fans a dazzling final race of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series season. "That was a fun race. Lapped cars really saved my life on that one," Gillmore said. "JC was so much better than me on the bottom of (turns) one and two and I got to four to go there and I was trying to figure out an option when lapped cars showed up. "I kind of pressured him and he was gracious. He definitely could have took it from me at any time and I appreciate him racing me me clean." Morton started outside of row one and wasted no time setting the early pace, with Jon Sheets second and Jackson third when the race's first caution appeared on lap two. Two more cautions appeared before two more laps could be completed. Finally, after a fourth caution on lap six, the race settled into a rhythm. Gillmore got a big run on lap seven to sail around the outside of Jackson and into second and he used the same move a lap later to grab the lead away from Morton. Morton rode the inside line to pull alongside Gillmore over the next several laps, with Andy Bryant and Jackson running third and fourth. Morton regained the lead by a half car length on lap 13, but Gillmore again rode the cushion to go back on top two laps later. The back-and-forth tussled continued with Morton going back in front on lap 16. Those two entered lapped traffic the next time around and they were separated by a few feet taking the white flag. Gillmore made it six lead changes in the final 100 feet, coming around the outside of turn four as Morton was hindered a bit by a lapped car as the two Springfield drivers came to the finish together. Bryant finished third with Jackson fourth and USRA Modified national points leader Shadren Turner of St. Joseph, in fifth. Cox earns Late Model win as Ferris clinches title: Jefferson City's Tucker Cox couldn't catch Larry Ferris in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model points chase, but Cox led all 20 laps to capture the championship-night feature victory. Cox beat Matt Becker by 1.5 seconds at the finish and was never seriously threatened throughout the event. Ferris completed his track-championship season by finishing third. "I felt like we'd been about a third-place car all year," Cox said. "Finally, I didn't overthink it for the future and it was really good." Cox started on the pole and roared to the lead as the feature went green. While Ferris had mathematically clinched the title before the feature, he trailed Cox by 1.4 seconds when the race's first caution flew on lap four. Ferris slipped back to fifth after the restart as Cox opened a 1.2-second lead over Matt Becker by the midpoint on lap 10 and Cox's margin ballooned to 3.4 seconds by lap 14. The runaway was erased a lap later as third-running Bryon Allison spun to bring out a caution. Cox said he didn't mind the caution because he was nearing lapped cars that could have potentially caused him issues. "Right before that last yellow came out, I was like a yellow would be all right, right now," Cox said. "I knew we were really good on restarts." Cox once again dominated after action resumed, rolling to a comfortable win over Becker with Ferris rallying for third, Joe Walkenhorst finishing fourth and JC Morton fifth. Ferris said he couldn't have asked for a better season or a better-performing car from April through August. "We've had a good season. We sure can't complain about how the car has run," Ferris said. "I think I've lacked a little bit, like tonight."

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Bryan White takes aim at USRA Stock Cars track championship

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 24, 2022) - Bryan White looks to complete his first full season of racing at Lucas Oil Speedway in style on Saturday by nailing down the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars track championship. The 21-year-old from Lebanon takes a two-point lead over 19-year-old Mason Beck of Urbana into Rempfer Memorial Championship Night. Asked if the battle of young guns is fun or stressful, White laughed and said "kind of both." "I'd like to be about 20 points ahead of Mason, but sometimes that don't happen," White said, adding that he will try to approach the final night of Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series action the same as usual - even though it basically comes down to which driver finishes ahead of the other. "You just have to go out and race," White said. "Whatever happens, happens. You get to paying attention to where he's at, you'll mess up and he'll end up beating you." To make things even more interesting, White's dad, Rob White of Lebanon, is just 12 points behind Bryan. So if the youngsters both have a bit of trouble, Rob White is poised to jump ahead of them celebrate a championship. "It's gonna be one of us three, depending on who beats who," Bryan White said. "We'll see what happens." No matter what happens, it's already been a banner season for Bryan White with two feature victories at Lucas Oil Speedway with seven top-five finishes. He has won eight features overall in his USRA Stock Car. White drove it only a handful of times at Wheatland in 2021, running primarily at Lebanon Midway Speedway after moving up from the Midwest Mod division. "It's gone really good; better than I expected, really" Bryan White said. "I bought a new motor over the winter and it's really helped out a lot. "This division is really fun. Everybody is so close, it's hard to get just one car that's faster than everybody else. They're all really competitive." White joked that racing with his dad is fun, with some bragging rights involved. "It's kind of competitive all week long. If one of us beats the other, we get to talk crap all week," he said, with a laugh. Bryan White got his start in racing six years ago in a Pure Stock at Midway Speedway. By the end of the year, he won two features and a track championship. He moved into the Midwest Mod division the next season before the Stock Cars caught his eye a couple of years ago. "Scotty (Allen) started them up at Dallas County and that's when I had my Midwest Mod," White said. "I watched them over there and liked them. I sold my (Midwest Mod) over the winter so I could drive a stock car." He's found the USRA Stock Car division not only has competitive racing, but camaraderie that seems a notch higher as well. The Whites and Will Garner out of Lebanon always pit together and help each other on race nights. Beck isn't far away and, while an on-track rival, also has offered help if needed. "We're all rivals, but friends at the same time," Bryan White said. "A lot of the other classes, it seems if you're fast and rivals, it doesn't seem like you talk as much in the pits." While he would be happy for his dad or Beck if they emerged with the championship, Bryan White clearly would like to be the one celebrating on Saturday night. "It would mean a lot. Not everybody can say they won a track championship at Lucas Oil Speedway," White said. The Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds also is hotly contested with Dillon McCowan of Urbana leading Centralia's Dustin Hodges by 17 points. Kris Jackson of Lebanon can clinch his seventh Lucas Oil Speedway championship in the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods with a solid finish. Jackson is 30 points in front of Springfield's Ryan Gillmore. The Hermitage Lumber Late Model division sees the largest gap as Larry Ferris of Nevada is 93 points in front of Jefferson City's Tucker Cox. Pit and spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. The program is named to honor Harold "Rowdy" Rempfer and his wife, Julia, who were killed in an automobile accident four years ago. Rowdy was the mayor of Wheatland and he and Julia both worked at Lucas Oil Speedway. Concert before racing: The Old Paths quartet from Atlanta, one of the premier gospel groups in the country, will hold a pre-race concert at 5:30 p.m. The quartet of Tim Rackley, Douglas Roark, Daniel Ashmore and Steve Ladd has multiple No. 1 songs produced and record on the Sonlite/Crossroads label. They will perform at the speedway as part of a tour that includes a concert at Silver Dollar City in Branson on Tuesday, Aug. 30. The Old Paths Racing Team, featuring Late Model driver Thomas Langley of Parish, Alabama, is scheduled to compete in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model Division. Final Kids' Power Wheel races: The final round of Kids' Power Wheel racing is set for Saturday during intermission with a season champion crowned in each class.

  Ferris dominates for another Late Model win in Lucas Oil Speedway spotlight feature; Jackson, Hodges, Beck also prevail

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 20, 2022) - Larry Ferris wad dominant from start to finish Saturday night, leading all 25 laps in Lucas Oil Speedway's Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series spotlight feature. Ferris, of Nevada, picked up his fourth feature victory of the season and solidified his hold on the Hermitage Lumber Late Model championship chase. He wound up 4.7 seconds in front of runner-up Dalton Imhoff and earned $1,000 for the triumph. Other feature winners on Public Safety Appreciation Night Presented by KOLR were Kris Jackson (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Dustin Hodges (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds) and Mason Beck (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). Ferris unofficially extented his points lead to 93 points over Tucker Cox. He started on the pole and roared away from the start with JC Morton giving chase in the early going. Morton pulled alongside Ferris going into turn one on lap six, with third-place Dillon McCowan about 10 car lengths behind. Over the next four laps, Ferris began to settle in and was able to extend his lead to 1.7 seconds and kept pulling away from there. "The track was good," Ferris said. "JC got his nose underneath me there and I thought I'd better get after this thing or he was gonna get me tonight." As the leaders caught lapped traffic, McCowan and Morton slugged it out for second with McCowan finally getting around Morton on lap 15. But by then, Ferris' lead had expanded to four seconds. It was an easy drive from there as the race remained caution-free to the finish. Ferris wound up a full straightaway-margin in front of Imhoff with McCowan coming home third, Cox was fourth and Bryon Allison finished fifth. Jackson notches another B-Mod win: Closing in on his seventh Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod track championship, Lebanon's Kris Jackson earned his sixth feature victory of the season in the next-to-last points program of 2022. Jackson led all 20 laps and beat Ryan Gillmore, his nearest competitor in the points chase, by 1.2 seconds. Gillmore passed Terry Schultz with three laps remaining to get into second and unofficially stands 30 behind Jackson. "This one means something. Last time we were here we started on the pole and got third," Jackson said. "I had to think about that for two weeks. So we put a little extra time and effort into it tonight." Jackson beat fellow front-row starter Gillmore at the drop of the green and set the pace, opening a one-second led over Schultz and 1.8 over Gillmore when a lap-seven caution slowed the action. It didn't take Jackson long to rebuild his leading margin as the race returned to green-flag action. He navigated through lapped traffic before a caution with three laps to go gave the pursuers one more chance. The advantage of the caution for Jackson was a clear track ahead of him. He took advantage and sailed to the win, finishing about eight car lengths in front of Gillmore with Schultz winding up third. Jackson, who began the night 25 points in front of Gillmore, earned his 22nd feature victory overall this season. Andy Bryant finished fourth and JC Morton, who started 16th, rallied to fifth. Hodges captures USRA Modified thriller: Dustin Hodges scored his second Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature victory of the season, emerging on top after a frenetic battle with points lead Dillon McCowan over the final two laps. Hodges, of Centralia, finished 2.4 seconds in front of Eric Turner after retaking the lead from McCowan coming out of turn two after the white flag had waved. McCowan wound up spinning before reaching the finish line and wound up 12th. The result sets up a dramatic final-night of the points battle next Saturday. Hodges unofficially closed to within 17 points of McCowan. "Man, the cautions were killing me," said Hodges, who briefly lost the lead to McCowan as the duo came to the white flag. "I seen Dillon coming out of four, seen his nose, and knew he had the run. "I hurried up and threw some front-brake in it and let her eat down in one. Thankfully, we came out on top," Hodges added in victory lane. Jimmy Dowell started up front and led the opening lap, with Hodges slipping past him on lap two. A caution slowed what was shaping up to be a hot, early battle up front that found Jeff Cutshaw and McCowan running 3-4. The race had a rough time settling into any sort of flow, with cautions after each of the first three laps. Once green-flag conditions remained consistent, Hodges started to pull away and had a 2.5-second lead over second-place McCowan by the midpoint on lap 10. But the fourth caution waved on lap 11, wiping out Hodges' three-second lead. McCowan closed onto the rear of Hodges' car coming to the start-finish line with two laps to go, then pulled alongside and briefly took the lead on the inside coming to the white flag. Hodges used a crossover move coming out of turn two to regain the lead and McCowan spun in turn four in a last-ditch effort to pull out the win. Ryan Middaugh finished third with Dowell fourth and Cutshaw fifth. Late pass ends Beck to USRA Stock Cars win: Mason Beck of Urbana thought he had race-long leader Johnny Fennewald passed a couple of times, only to see caution flags wipe out the efforts. But finally, Beck charged past Fennewald with three laps remaining to pick up the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature. Fennewald started up front and led through 10 laps and, just as Beck challenged him on the inside in turn two, the race's first caution flew. Those two renewed the battle for the lead as action resumed, with Dean Willie and Rodney Schweitzer right behind. The scenario repeated itself for Beck again three laps later, with another caution appearing just as he had made a pass out of turn two. The scoring revered to the previous completed lap, leaving Fennewald on top once again. Fennewald held off repeated efforts by Beck over the next three laps until another caution set up a four-lap shootout. Beck was able to make the pass as the race resumed, using the inside groove in turn two. The Urbana driver was able to hang on from there, beating Fennewald by three car lengths for his second straight feature victory. "I'm surprised I was patient," Beck said. "I'm usually not that patient. One time I pulled up beside him and made a little contact with him. He came up under caution and let me know that I was number one. It was a good battle. It was pretty fun." Bryan White wound up third with Dean Willie fourth and Schweitzer fifth. White will unofficially take a two-point lead over Beck into the season championship program.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Ferris closes in on Late Model championship, with USRA Modified in the works

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 17, 2022) - The only downside to the 2022 Lucas Oil Speedway season for Larry Ferris is that there aren't enough races to quench his thirst. "I wish we could work something out so we could race more," Ferris said. "I know we've had a couple of rainouts, but I wish we could race 15 or 20 times a year over there." The veteran driver from Nevada has been a force in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model division each of the seven times he's hit the dirt this season, posting three feature victories and four runner-up finishes. Add it up, and Ferris has built an 80-point lead in the Lucas Oil Speedway season championship chase over Tucker Cox. He looks to add another victory - and edge closer to his first points title at the speedway - at Saturday's Public Safety Appreciation Night Presented by KOLR. All police, fire and rescue personnel admitted free with ID. The Hermitage Lumber Late Models will be the featured class with a 25-lap, $1,000-to-win main event. 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. As good as Ferris has been this season, he said results could have been even better. "We've had a pretty good year, but we let a couple of races get away because we made maybe the wrong tire choice. And maybe part of it was the driver, too," Ferris said. "So it's been good, but it could have been better." But he admitted that winning a championship "would be really neat" even though he's never started a season with a specific goal of points racing. "I would to like do it before I quit," Ferris said of a Lucas Oil Speedway championship. "I'd like to check that off my list. Winning races has always been our number one goal. That's what I'm gonna try to do the rest of the year, try to win both races that we have left." Ferris, 51, has been at the top of his game since debuting a Captial Race Car chassis in 2021, when he earned three feature wins at Wheatland in 10 attempts. "We have a far better car than we've ever had," Ferris said. "This Captial Race Car has really changed our program around. We're the best we've been (at Lucas Oil Speedway) for sure. It fits my driving style with very few adjustments needed. The car is just consistent, lap after lap. That's what I like about it." Ferris gives credit to Brian Larimore from Dirt Track Specialists, his son Ryan Ferris and Dave Collins for helping turn wrenches, plus Josh Poe from Scott Bailey Racing Engines. "I shouldn't say anything, but this is the third year on the motor and it has about 1,250 laps on it," Ferris said. "I hope it makes it the rest of the year. I know it will." While Ferris' Late Model season will end with the Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night on Aug. 27, he's putting together a USRA Modified to race this fall. There will be a couple of opportunities to run it at Lucas Oil Speedway - during the MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial program on Sept. 3 and the USRA Nationals Oct. 3-7. Ferris said he last ran a Modified in 1997 "so it might take me a lap or two to get used to it again." "I like racing in the fall when it's cooler," he said. "There's nowhere to race the Late Model. We've had this car for three years now and never have put it together. So we're gonna run it some this fall. Within next 2-3 weeks, we hope to get it done." Special Late Model drivers' meeting: Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton has announced that a special Late Model-only drivers' meeting will be held at 5 p.m. Saturday in the eBay Motors Tech Building to discuss rules for 2023. All Late Model drivers are asked to attend the meeting.

  Ramirez makes it a three-peat at Lucas Oil Speedway's USMTS Show-Me Shootout

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 6, 2022) - Dereck Ramirez did it again Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway, winning his third straight USMTS Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout Presented by Foley Equipment. Ramirez, the reigning United States Modified Touring Series champion, won for the second straight night, following up his win at Humboldt Speedway on Friday. Ramirez led all 42 laps to take home $10,000. "I did all I could. I manhandled that thing. This is not my kind of race track," Ramirez said after his ride on the high side throughout was enough to win against at Lucas Oil Speedway. His three USMTS wins are the most by any series driver at the track. Ramirez held off Darron Fuqua by 1.1 seconds for the victory with series points leader Dustin Sorensen rallying from eighth to third. Ramirez had to hold off fifth-starting Jake O'Neil for much of the last half of the 42-lap feature. Ramirez grabbed the lead at the start and set the pace, opening a 1.5-second led over fellow front-row starter Fuqua before a lap-five caution bunched the field for a restart. Ramirez led Fuqua by one-second with Jake O'Neil third as the trio broke away by nearly a straightaway-margin over fourth-place Tyler Davis by lap 14. But lapped traffic soon came into play and Fuqua pulled right behind Ramirez over the next several laps with those two darting in and out of slower cars. O'Neil took advantage and got past Fuqua on lap 20 and then set out a path to try and catch the leader. He was within four-tenths of a second on lap 22 when the race's second caution calmed the battle - at least temporarily. With clear track ahead as the race returned to green, the three frontrunners again pulled away from the rest of the field as the laps dwindled. With five circuits remaining in the 42-lapper, Ramirez and O'Neil again caught lapped traffic. Lance Mari's car slowed to a stop and brought out another caution to set it up for a five-lap dash to the finish. "He timed it right," Ramirez said of O'Neil. "I was going for a slider with some of those lapped cars and he rolled the bottom. As I was sliding, he was coming back forward and it's hard to keep up when they're going that. "I'm just glad that yellow came out because I think he was underneath me right there going into one. I don't know if he'd have beat me coming out of the corner, but that spooks you enough to drive into the corner the next time too hard and end up in the wall over there and that's not good. Fuqua got around O'Neil on the restart and Ramirez capitalized, opening up a five-car-length lead. Fuqua closed the margin with three laps to go, but Ramirez went on to prevail by about 10 car lengths. "We're close. I feel like we're on good company now," Fuqua said. O'Neil faded to sixth with Davis coming home in fourth and Tanner Mullens fifth. Gillmore grabs USRA B-Mod feature win: Ryan Gillmore led all 20 laps to capture the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win, outdistancing Kyle Slader and Kris Jackson. "The car was lights out," Gillmore said, noting that he was unsure how it would take to a track reworked during intermission. "The car was perfect. I about messed it up on my own that first lap, but got my compsoure together and made it work." Gillmore started outside of Jackson on the front row and won the race for the lead as the green flag flew. He built a 2.1-second led by lap eight when a caution slowed the action and erased Gillmore's comfortable margin. "I was expecting at any moment for Chris to find something on the bottom," Gillmore said. "I moved to the top on the restart and kept my eyes peeled to know if I had to play defensive or not. I was watching the board and and I knew when (the camera operator) wasn't looking at just me, that was a good thing." Slader drove around Jackson two laps after the restart but could not keep up with the leader. Gillmore's lead was back to 1.3 seconds through lap 15 and he went out to drive away to finish 1.9 seconds clear of Slader. Jackson, the season points leader with Gillmore not far behind, finished third with Brian Bolin fourth and Jon Sheets came home in fifth. Beck leads all the way for USRA Stock Cars win: Mason Beck never looked back, leading all the way to capture the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature. It was Beck's first official victory of the season after his apparent recent win was wiped out after a disqualification in post-race tech. "I was dang sure gonna win it tonight," Beck said in victory lane. Beck led from the start and was .711 seconds in front of Jaylen Wettengel when the first caution flew on lap eight. Dean Wille moved around Wettengel and into second on the restart as Beck continued to lead. Hendrix joined the top three by lap 15, but no one was a match for Beck as the Urbana driver pulled away over the final laps to win by two seconds over Robert White, who beat Wille by a couple of free for the runner-up spot. "I knew I had some heavy hitters behind me," Beck said. "I saw Dean Wille and knew he was starting behind me. I was watching for David Hendrix to show his nose on the top, but I guess he never got to it." Hendrix wound up fourth and Wettengel finished fifth.

  Lucas Oil Speedway's Ozarks Food Harvest Food Drive Night at the Races another big success

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 4, 2022) - The annual Lucas Oil Speedway Ozarks Food Harvest Food Drive Night at the Races, held last month during the Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series, has proven to be another big success. Fans donated 3,143 pounds of food that will provide 2,619 nutritious meals to neighbors who struggle with hunger in the Ozarks Food Harvest's 28-county service area, said Denise Gibson, Director of Development and Communication for the organization. "During the summer months, when school-funded meals aren't available, your donation works even harder to keep children nourished," Gibson said in a letter to Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton. She added that the organization provides meals to more than 50,000 individuals per month. Since 2008, Lucas Oil Speedway has collected more than 74,000 pounds of food to help provide more than 60,000 meals for Ozarks Food Harvest and their hunger-relief partner Hickory County Cares. "We're honored to partner with Ozarks Food Harvest and it's always gratifying to see our fans rise to the occasion to help in such an important cause," Lorton said.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: USMTS series leader Sorensen looks to extend Wheatland success

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 3, 2022) - Growing up in the cold winters of southeastern Minnesota, Dustin Sorensen loved playing ice hockey as a slap-shooting forward. Rising to the level of top-level youth hockey, Sorensen was on the fast track toward possibly becoming a college recruit. But all the while, another fast-paced sport - one that had deep roots in his family - fought for his attention. Young Dustin had a knack for racing dirt modifieds. He was winning B-Mod races as a 12-year-old and, by the time he was officially old enough to drive, was ready to graduate into A Mods. Dustin's dad, Mike, had been a big winner in USRA Modifieds for several years before hanging up his helmet. "After high school, I decided that I wanted to stick to racing," Sorensen said of the choice he had to make between his two favorite sports. It's been a solid decision as the 21-year-old has become one of the nation's best, leading the USMTS standings with the home stretch of the season beginning. Sorensen rolls into Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday for the 13th annual USMTS Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout Presented by Foley Equipment atop the championship chase and on a track that he likes. Second in the Show-Me Shootout last August, Sorensen swept all three nights of the USRA Modified portion of the 2021 USRA Nationals at Wheatland. The Rochester, Minnesota driver begins a three-race weekend USMTS swing 107 points in front of Tanner Mullens and 179 clear of third-place Dereck Ramirez, the reigning series and Show-Me Shootout champ. While drivers in his position often deny thinking about points, Sorensen is honest about his situation, with 15 races remaining in the USMTS season. "That's our goal, to win the points," Sorensen said. "Every night, I'm trying to at least finish and not put myself in any bad situations. I'll be a little more cautious, but winning is still the main goal, every night. "I wasn't really expecting to be in the situation that we're in now, but I wanted to be. My goal at the start was to try and make a run at the national points deal." It wasn't that long ago that Sorensen began racing "Slingshot" cars on a small oval inside the main track at Deer Creek Speedway. After moving into the B Mod, he said his summers were extremely busy with racing and travel hockey. He said he was "all right" as a hockey player and that his dad wishes he had chosen hockey. "He's still a little made I gave it up for racing," Dustin Sorensen said. "He thought that would have been a little smarter choice, at least when I was a little younger." Sorensen said he even move to Omaha as a high school sophomore to play on an elite team, but returned to Minnesota after that season. "That was interfering with racing," he said of being several hours from home, "so then I moved back home and played regular high school hockey and raced," he said. Eventually, he gave up the skates and stick. A fan of the NHL's Minnesota Wild, Sorensen said there might be some correlation between the hand-eye coordination that it takes to play hockey and drive a race car, where instant reaction is vital to success. The toughness he learned from hockey, especially on the mental side, is a definite benefit. "I think it's huge with racing," Sorensen said. "You see guys get on hot streak and then kind of fade for a little while and then are able to come back. Confidence is a huge thing." Asked about future goals in racing, Sorensen said he doesn't spent a lot of time thinking about it, though driving a dirt Late Model would be appealing if sponsorship became available. Otherwise, the focus is on the near term. "We have 15 races left and the next three are what I have on my mind right now," he said. The three-race swing for the USMTS begins on Thursday at 81 Speedway in Park City, Kansas, and continues Friday at Humboldt Speedway.

  Lucas Oil Speedway plays host to 13th annual USMTS Show-Me Shootout on Saturday

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 2, 2022) - What annually has become one of Lucas Oil Speedway's top races each season returns on Saturday as the stars of the United States Modified Touring Series pay a visit to the dirt oval. It's the 13th annual USMTS Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout Presented by Foley Equipment with a payday of $10,000 awaiting the feature winner.

Ramirez dominated the 40-lap feature last August, beating runner-up Dustin Sorensen by 1.828 seconds to become the first Show-Me Shootout repeat winner. It was a key win as it helped send Ramirez toward the season title. This season, Ramirez will be looking to launch a rally to catch Sorensen in the USMTS points chase. Sorensen, of Rochester, Minnesota, has five series feature victories in 2022 and leads Kansas driver Tanner Mullens by 107 points and Ramirez by 179. The USMTS has made 15 prior visits to Lucas Oil Speedway with Kelly Shryock, Jeremy Payne and Terry Phillips joining Ramirez as two-time event winners.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Hodges finds his USRA Modified groove in first full season at Wheatland

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 27, 2022) - Dustin Hodges had competed at Lucas Oil Speedway occasionally over his racing career, but decided prior to the 2022 to commit to the haul from Centralia on a regular basis for the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified division. "We finally came to a point and said, 'it's time to learn that track.' Man, that place is a little bit of a different animal to most any other track," Hodges said. "The car needs a little something different there so … we tried to commit the time to make the laps and find out what it takes to make the car happy, to get around that place fast." Hodges has indeed been fast in his No. 22 Vanderbuilt chassis, picking up his first Lucas Oil Speedway feature victory on July 9. He has 10 top-five feature finishes and is second in points, 49 behind Dillon McCowan, entering Saturday's 25-lap, $1,000-to-win main event on Fan Appreciation Night Presented by KIX-105.7 Townsquare Media. The 33-year-old Hodges said that feature win "was pretty awesome." "We've been racing there a number of years," he added. "Of course, we've only been there hit and miss. To finally get a win … that's been the one track we raced at we haven't been able to get a win. So that was nice. It really meant a lot to finally get the monkey off our back and get it done there." Hodges said he got his start in Modified racing 13 years ago after competing in motocross as a youngster. "It got to a point where I wasn't going to be able to do that anything," Hodges said. "I got an opportunity to jump in a Modified for a guy. He figured I was fearless in motocross and wanted to put me in a seat belt with a roll cage and see how I'd do. It kind of took off from there." So he competed in a Modified at Callaway Speedway in Fulton, near his hometown, in those early years and was inspired by Danny Crane, a top-flight Modified competitor who now, ironically, is Hodges' engine builder. "After that I bought my own car and we moved to a B-Mod and ran that for about four or five years," Hodges said. "Then I felt it was time to move up to the (USRA) Modified." Asked if the motocross background translates to car racing, he said it does in some ways such as throttle control. "That and the competitive part were comparable," he said. "But as far as learning set-ups and all that stuff, it was a different animal." Hodges said he became friends with Zack VanderBeek, a national-touring Modified competitor from Iowa, and that has really benefited his program. "I watch and I learn from Zack," he said of the USMTS driver. "He's been a blessing, being patient with me and allowing me to learn a lot of set-up stuff. He's really sped the learning curve for me." Joining VanderBeek on the USMTS circuit would be an ultimate dream, but Hodges said the finances simply are not there to make that happen. "I maintain a job and have a family, a wife and a two-year-old," he said. "If I could pick up that one sponsor that it takes to go on the road, I'd love to make it happen and see what we could do." Meanwhile, Hodges said his goals the rest of the way are to win as many races as he can. He has six overall, including the one at Wheatland. "It would be nice to go ahead and win the points championship at Callaway," he said of the Friday-night venue. Racing for a title at Lucas Oil Speedway is not realistic because he's going to have to miss a race or two late in the schedule due to vacation commitments. "I would like to finish top-10 in USRA (national) points. That would be pretty neat," he said. "Unfortunately, we're gonna miss a few races near the end of the season. But if we could still finish top 10, that would be pretty cool." Hodges' crew includes his uncle John Doerr and friend Kyle Harrison. Team sponsors are Danny Crane Race Engines, Foundation Recovery Systems, Mid-America Carpenters Union, Melloway Fast Traps, Iron Gate Real Estate, The Drain Doctor, Rich and Chris Mobile Home Transport, Danny Means Drywall, Show-Me Heating & Air and Flood Zone Motorworks. "I'm just a local guy trying to make it work in a very expensive sport," Hodges said. Food and drink specials on Saturday night will include $1 nachos and cheese, $2 hot dogs and $2 soft drinks or waters. The Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods, O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars, Hermitage Lumber Late Models and Show-Me Vintage Racers also will be in action.

  Garner captures first USRA Stock Cars victory in Lucas Oil Speedway headline feature

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 23, 2022) - At last, William Garner of Lebanon was able to celebrate an O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win at Lucas Oil Speedway. After finishing at runner-up the last two outings, Garner led all 25 laps to grab the headliner on Saturday night's program. He earned $750 for the triumph, holding Ed Griggs for the win. Other feature winners on Ozarks Food Harvest Food Drive Night Presented by KY3 were Eric Turner (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds), Kris Jackson (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Larry Ferris (Hermitage Lumber Late Models). Garner had three second-place finishes overall this season at Lucas Oil Speedway, his first in the USRA Stock Cars division. "This class is a blast to race with," said Garner, whose best friend Bryan White leads the season standings with White's dad, Rob, second in the points. "Everybody is just super-good racers. The top 10, any of the could win any night. It's an awesome class. "I have to thank Josh and Mitchell Franklin of Franklin Motorsports. They gave me a heck of a race car," Garner added, rattling off a list of other sponsors in his victory lane interview. "I'm probably forgetting some because I'm still in shock," a smiling Garner said. Garner grabbed the top spot as the race went green, out-sprinting fellow front-row starter Rodney Schweizer entering turn one. Ed Griggs moved by Schweizer and into second on the first lap that's how the running order stayed through 13 laps. That's when third-running Scheizer spun to bring out the race's first caution. That put season points Bryan White into third with Rob White fourth. Griggs continued to stay right behind Garner as the race returned to green, but Garner remained glued to the inside groove and Griggs had no answer. Garner took the checkers by .907 seconds with Bryan White winding up third, Mason Beck fourth and Rob White fifth. Turner hangs on for USRA Modified win: Eric Turner picked up his first Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified victory of the season, hanging on to beat Jason Pursley by .094 of a second in the 20-lap feature. "We've had a monkey on our back and happy to be here," Turner said of the road to victory lane this season. Andy Bryant started on the pole and led the first 11 laps, losing the lead on the backstretch as Turner went around Bryant and Jason Pursley. Bryant and Pursley had waged a fierce battle for the lead, sometimes running side by side, for five laps prior to Turner's third-to-first move. Bryant, while running third, spun on lap 15 to bring out a caution, forcing him to the back of the pack for a restart. Turner worked the low line around the pavement to stay in front and was two laps from the win when a caution flew for Lucas Dobbs' spin on lap 18. That set up a green-white-checkers finish with Turner, Pursley and Dustin Hodges running 1-2-3. As the race resumed, Turner held off a charging Pursley by a half-car-length as Pursley made a tremendous move out of turn four on the final lap, first going outside and then diving inside near the start-finish line. "I didn't want to see a yellow," Turner said. "I was trying to be patient out there and conserve, when the track's good like that. Just keep my line, keep my head on. We finally got some things clicking. We had a little water leak, but we're good to go." USRA points leader Dillon McCowan rallied from eighth to third with Ryan Middaugh fourth and Dustin Hodges fifth. Jackson earns another Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod win: Chalk up a fifth Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win for Kris Jackson of Lebanon, as he was able to lead all 20 laps to hold off Ryan Gillmore by half a second for the win. Jackson make it 20 wins overall in 2022 with his latest Lucas Oil Speedway triumph in what was a good two-car battle throughout. "I could hear him that whole race," Jackson said of Gillmore. "I don't know if he was trying the outside lane or not, but I knew if I made one little bobble he'd be there." Gillmore took to the high line on lap four and began to make up ground after Jackson had opened up a 1.2-second lead in the early going. Jackson, the six-time track champion, continued to maintain the low line around the dirt oval as the duo neared lapped traffic by lap 14. Gillmore was within .202 seconds, but Jackson suddenly opened up a 1.3-second lead as he used a lapped car as a sort of shield as the laps ticked away. But with only three laps to go, a caution for a sliding car on the back stretch bunched things for a sprint to the finish. Gillmore had a big run as action resumed, pulling alongside with two to go but Jackson was up to the challenge, holding on to prevail by three car lengths. Colson Kirk wound up third, JC Morton was fourth and Andy Bryant finished fifth. Late Models feature goes to Ferris: Not even a new young gun could slow veteran Larry Ferris' charge through the Hermitage Lumber Late Model division as the Nevada driver picked up his third feature win of the season. Ferris beat Dillon McCowan - the track's USRA Modified reigning points champ - who was making his Late Model debut. Ferris rolled away from the start, from the pole position, and opened a 1.6-second lead over McCowan just four laps into the action. A lap-four caution wiped out that lead, but it didn't keep Ferris from re-opening a similar command by lap 10. Ferris went on to by nearly two seconds over McCowan to further stretch his widening points lead. "The track kind of locked down and I had to get in front because it was going to be hard to pass," Ferris said. Byron Allison finished third with Larry Jones fourth and Kayden Clatt coming home in fifth.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Garner on brink of breakthrough USRA Stock Cars feature win

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 21, 2022) - William Garner has done everything but win a feature race this season in Lucas Oil Speedway's O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars division, finishing as runner-up three times. The 22-year-old from Lebanon is confident that first win is coming soon. But for starters, Garner is going to have to drive his way past two of his closest friends to get it done. "I grew up with Bryan White. He's my best friend and Rob is like my other dad," Garner said of the Lebanon son-father duo who are 1-2 in the Stock Cars points battle. Just a couple of weeks ago, Garner finished second as Rob White picked up the feature win and Bryan ran third. "I grew up with them and have been around racing with them forever," Garner said. "I would go with them and Bryan started racing and now we're all in Stock Cars. It's pretty fun when we go 1-2-3." Garner looks to find his way to victory lane again on Saturday night at Ozarks Food Harvest Food Drive Night Presented by KY3. Fans can attend free by bringing four non-perishable food items to the main gate. The USRA Stock Cars will headline the action with a special 25-lap, $750-to-win main event. The Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds, Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and Hermitage Lumber Late Models also will be in action. Garner said since he's fixed motor issues that plagued him early in the season, he's been on a winning trajectory. He said better draws for his heat race and then earning a better starting spot in the feature would be helpful in leading to a win. "We have a good car, thanks to my parents, along Josh and Mitchell Franklin," Garner said. "They've helped me a lot. We just need a little luck on our side now. "I help Josh in the winters and in my free time to build cars. My free time over there I built this car over the winter and he coached me how to do it. We pretty well did it together." Each week finds the Stock Cars battling it out side-by-side, sometimes three-wide in arguably the best racing action of any of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series divisions. Garner, asked if the close racing was fun or stressful, gave a quick and decisive answer. "I think it's a blast," he said. "Really, about any night, any of the top 10 could win. You have a lot of good drivers in that class, a bunch of talent for sure. It's fun racing side-by-side like that, just being able to race with guys and have a good time." Garner said he got his racing start a couple of years ago at Dallas County Speedway, where he was helping out the Whites and he got to take one of their Pure Stocks for a spin after the races. He got his own car the following year, first a Midwest Mod and then a Stock Car. "Josh Franklin gave me the opportunity to get one of his cars and we went from there. That's how we got into this deal," Garner said. The Lebanon contingent of Garner and the Whites pit together each week on Friday nights at Dallas County Speedway and on Saturday in Wheatland. They are quick to lend each other a helpful hand when needed. Garner said his dad, Jeremy, serves as his crew chief and lends plenty of support, both in knowledge and with encouragement. After three straight second-place runs (two at Lucas Oil Speedway and one at Dallas County) and nine top-fives in 17 events overall, Garner's goal is simple. "I'd like to win at Lucas and at Dallas County," he said. "I'd like to get some wins and do good in (USRA) national points." Team sponsors include Josh Franklin Motorsports, Albright Racing, the Perkins Family, Court Probationary Services, Garner Construction, Arrowhead Building Supply, Icon Race Graphics, Richard's Carpet and Eagle Machine.

  14-year-old Virginia driver Brown wins Legends thriller at Lucas Oil Speedway Midweek Madness

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 20, 2022) - Carson Brown, a 14-year-old from Moseley, Virginia, prevailed in a three-car, blanket finish to capture the Legends main event at Lucas Oil Speedway's Wednesday Night Midweek Madness. Brown scored his 10th career victory by beating Dawson Sutton and Keelan Harvick as the top three were separated by less than a half-second as the checkered flag flew. Other feature winners in the special weeknight program for divisions that don't normally race at the speedway were Scott Campbell (Midwest Mods), Bradley McDowell (Pure Stocks) and Justin Day (USRA Tuners). Brown made the long trip to the Midwest worth it, making his first appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway. He came away impressed by the experience. "It's a really cook track," Brown said. "It slicks off a lot. It was really cool to experience that for the first time." Justin Comer started up front and led the first six circuits before Brown took over the top spot on lap seven when the race went to caution for the first time. Sutton, who started sixth, drove into second on lap eight with seventh-starting Harvick advancing into the third position. Following a lap-nine caution, Harvick, the 10-year-old son of NASCAR star Kevin Harvick, moved around Sutton and into second. Brown and Harvick continued to run 1-2 when action was halted with a red flag on lap 17 after Braxton Rupp flipped his car in turn three. Rupp emerged from the wreckage without injury, but the body on the car was destroyed. Sutton made the pass of Harvick to get back into second as the race resumed with Brown continuing to lead. Fourth-place Dave Comer and Harvick brushed on lap 20 with Comer slowing to a stop to half the action again and set up a five-lap sprint to the finish. Brown held on from there to take the win by a scant .183 seconds over Sutton. Harvick pulled alongside Sutton nearing the finish but could not get by and finished third. Justin Comer wound up fourth and Sean Johnson finished fifth. "We were struggling there a little bit. We were a little bit tight in the center," Brown said. "But everybody raced me really clean and it was a really fun race." Campbell earns Midwest Mods victory: Scott Campbell of Rogersville took the lead on lap two and held off Anthony Ferrara the rest of the way to take the Midwest Mods main event. Campbell held on in a two-lap shootout at the finish to prevail by .773 seconds. "Dean Hoover is a big part of this," Campbell said of his long-time sponsor, a member of the Ozarks Area Racers Foundation Hall of Fame. "So is Mike Striegel. He helped me put a body on it and set the car up." Campbell started third and was in fourth at the completion of lap one, but went to the lead the next time around, sailing around first-lap leader Jeremy Lahey. Ferrara moved into second on lap four and was within a half-second of Campbell when the race's first caution flew on lap seven. As the race resumed, Campbell had a terrific restart to open up a five-car-length margin over Ferrara before another yellow flag slowed the action. Campbell had another good restart and led by 1.2 seconds as another caution appeared just three laps later. The field got only one lap in under green before a five-car pileup in turn four brought out the fifth yellow and put the race at its 20-minute time limit. That means a green-white-checkered, two-lap shootout to the finish. Campbell was up to the challenge once again, hugging the low groove as he did throughout the 14-lap event. Ferrara beat ninth-starting Steve Muilenburg by a car length for second. Dustin Dennison finished fourth with Dayton Newell fifth. Bradley wins Pure Stocks feature: Bradley McDowell of Eldon crossed the finish line in second place, but was elevated to the winner of the Pure Stocks feature after apparent race winner Mason Beck was disqualified in post-race technical inspection. Beck started on the pole and drove away to a 1.8-second lead over McDowell by lap six, when the race went to caution for the first time. After two more cautions, the race remained green the final eight laps and McDowell finished about a dozen car lengths Beck. McDowell picked up his fourth Pure Stocks feature win of the season, with two coming at Lake Ozark Speedway and one at Double X. Derek Brown officially wound up second with Grayson McKinney third, Leroy Morris fourth and Preston McDowell fifth. Day all the way in USRA Tuners: Justin Day of Lebanon started outside of row one and drove away to lead all 15, caution-free laps for the USRA Tuners feature win. Day finished 1.1 seconds in front of David Kirkpatrick, who had a five-second margin over third-place finisher Brandon Vignoe. "No cautions the whole night," Day said of the Tuner portion of the show. "I appreciate (Lucas Oil Speedway) putting the Tuners on this card. We're trying to grow this class in this area and this is an awesome facility to race at." Gregory Owens finished fourth with Daniel Barton fifth in the Tuners' lone appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway before the USRA Nationals in October.

  Midwest Mods driver Ferrara ready to experience new Field of Dreams at Lucas Oil Speedway's Midweek Madness

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 19, 2022) - Once a professional baseball prospect in the St. Louis Cardinals' farm system, Anthony Ferrara got to pitch at one of the Ozarks' top sports venues at Hammons Field as a member of the Springfield Cardinals. On Wednesday night, Ferrara will compete on a different kind of field of dreams. Ferrara, a baseball player-turned dirt-track racer, will bring his Midwest Mod to Lucas Oil Speedway's Wednesday Night Midweek Madness. He can barely contain his excitement. "That place is unreal," Ferrara said. "It's like playing in Busch Stadium." Midweek Madness will feature divisions that don't normally race at Lucas Oil Speedway to the dirt oval. Joining the Midwest Mods will be Legends, Pure Stocks and USRA Tuners. All four classes will run $300-to-win main events. Ferrara pitched seven seasons in the Cardinals organization, including parts of three for the Double-A Springfield Cardinals. He retired in 2015, just a couple of steps short of reaching the big leagues, but wound up getting married and making Springfield his home. In 2020, he bought his first race car. A racing enthusiast as a kid, Ferrara and his family spent many Saturday nights at the legendary East Bay Raceway near Tampa, Florida, with Anthony sometimes going straight to the speedway in his baseball uniform after games. He raced a go-kart for several years, but when he got serious about baseball as a high schooler, racing went on the backburner. But Ferrara's love for motorsports never waned. When he left pro baseball, racing seemed a natural fit to fuel his competitive spirit. The path to the cockpit opened when Ferrara was giving pitching lessons a few years ago to the son of Dustin Mooneyham, a long-time local racer. Mooneyham encouraged Ferrera to "get a car, man. Just do it." "I was like, I don't know anything about these things, but if you help me I'll get into it," Ferrara said. "Dustin talked me into it and now I'm hooked. I wish I could do it every day." Ferrara was coaching youth travel baseball in 2020 and 2021 and only raced from late summer into the fall. The 2022 season is his first as a weekly racer and he's picked up two Midwest Mod feature wins at Springfield Raceway. "I've done pretty well," he said. "We won last year's Turkey Bowl at Springfield. That was maybe not a shock, but I wasn't expecting it. I've done OK. We've run second the last two weeks and won the week before." Ferrara credits area drivers like Mooneyham, Scott Campbell, Will Vaught and Mike Striegel for giving him the necessary knowledge on prepping the car. He genuinely feels a part of the Ozarks racing family with all the friends he's made. "The racing community is really unique," Ferrara said. "I've learned that everybody is helpful. Everybody talks and helps each other out." Ferrara has been to Lucas Oil Speedway as a spectator, first when Midwest Mods ran as a guest class two years ago and also to view a preliminary night of this year's Show-Me 100. Driving at the speedway is something he's eagerly awaited for a long while. "I don't know of how many dirt tracks that have jumbo trons," he said. "The facilities are so nice. Something so simple that people might not understand, like the concrete pits, I'm so excited for that. I won't have to be rolling around in mud trying to change and make adjustments. "My wife, whole family is going to come. We're pumped for it." He's not sure how his car or his driving skills will translate to a track he's never driven on. Setting up the car will be like putting together an unfamiliar puzzle. "It looks bigger from when I went and watched as a spectator," he said in comparing Lucas Oil Speedway to Springfield Raceway. "I don't know what the gearing is going to be like. I've been trying to get some feedback. I've asked about everybody I could. Springfield looks more banked. "I'm just going to show up and hope I'm close." Gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and opening ceremonies at 7. Wednesday admission prices: 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 (Two adults and up to three youth) Pit Pass - $30 Racing fans have plenty to choose from this week at Lucas Oil Speedway this week, beginning with a special Wednesday Midweek Madness program.

  Johnny Scott shines, hangs on late to capture 16th annual CMH Diamond Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 16, 2022) - Johnny Scott took command on lap two of the 16th annual CMH Diamond Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment and never gave up the lead - even as four-time race winner Jimmy Owens made a frantic late charge. It was enough to make Scott plenty anxious, with Owens closing in and with lapped traffic to navigate on the final circuit around Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday night. But Scott, of Las Cruces, New Mexico, held on to beat Owens by .678 seconds in a caution-free 50 laps that clicked past in just 14 minutes, 32 seconds. Scott, a one-time nationally renowned Modified ace, earned $15,000 and a diamond ring for the biggest victory of his Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA career. "It's a heck of a night," Scott said in victory lane. "I've been trying so hard to win these Lucas Oil races. It just feels good to get one." Brandon Sheppard rallied late to finish third with Mark Burgtorf fourth in his first appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway. Strickler slipped over the last two laps and finished fifth in the quickest Diamond Nationals in terms of elapsed time. Scott earned an MLRA Spring Nationals feature win at Lucas Oil Speedway and the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson during Memorial Day Weekend, a preliminary to the Show-Me 100. The Diamond Nationals triumph marked his fifth Lucas Oil MLRA victory of the season and gave him back the series points lead. It did get a little nerve-wracking near the end as Owens, who's also a four-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champ, made it interesting. "My stick guy was telling me they were coming," Scott said of the final two laps. "I knew they were right there. It worked out for us, that's all I can say. I just have to thank all my crew. Without them none of this would be possible, and my sponsors. "Everybody at Longhorn (chassis) and my brother (Stormy), without them none of this would be possible. They help me a ton on this car. I'm just glad we could put it all together." Third-starting Owens, of Newport, Tennessee, got a great run at the start and had the lead after one lap, but it was Scott moving from fifth to first by lap two. He would lead Owens as the duo entered lapped traffic until Kyle Strickler slipped past Owens and into the runner-up spot on lap 22. From there, Scott's lead peaked at 2.09 seconds by lap 35 as the leaders continued to work slower traffic. Scott had a difficult time for several laps getting past his brother, Stormy, along with Logan Martin and Tyler Erb and that allowed Strickler and Owens to gain ground. Owens regained second by lap 45 and continued to cut into the margin, trying to work the high side as Scott maintained his line and said tried to stay consistent. "We were just moving around," Owens said. "The bottom was so dominant the whole race. It's usually not like that. We were just trying to get around lapped cars. I just got up about three or four laps too late. "I had the opportunity to win the race. I just slipped up off the bottom and let Johnny get by me. I knew he was going to be tough to beat. He's been good here the last several times he's been here. Hats off to those guys. They deserve a good win." Sheppard called his third-place run solid with his car finding its best footing near the end. "It (the track) slowed down there at the end and we were able to move out on the race track some. It was a solid night for us. Obviously we wanted to win, but the car was really good and we had a solid night. Hopefully we can carry some of this momentum into the next couple of weeks." Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points leader Tim McCreadie finished sixth. Johnny Scott had the fast overall qualifying lap in time trials - which started about an hour later than planned due to a late-afternoon rain shower - at 14.762 seconds in Group A. Spencer Hughes had fast time in Group B at 15.059. A total of 35 Late Models entered the Diamond Nationals, one more than in 2021. Hudson O'Neal, who won the first two legs of the weekend tour at I-70 Speedway and Tri-City Speedway, wound up 11th after starting 18th. Johnson rolls to USRA Modified victory: Matt Johnson of Adrian captured his second Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature win of the Lucas Oil Speedway season in five attempts, leading all 20 laps. He finished 3.2 seconds in front of Dustin Hodges. Johnson started on the pole and immediately grabbed command, running off to a four-second lead over Hodges nine laps into the event. But a caution wiped out that big margin and bunched the field for a restart. Once again, Johnson exerted his dominance and drove off to win by nearly a straightaway margin as the final 11 laps went without a caution. Along with his two wins, Johnson has three other top-four finishes at the speedway this season. Hodges edged Robbie Reed, track champ in 2019 and 2020, for second. Reigning points champ and 2022 championship leader Dillon McCowan wound up fourth and Nic Bidinger was fifth. "This track is amazing right now," Johnson said. "I'm blessed to have my family with me tonight and I couldn't be happier. "I was worired about my tires sealing over and I tried not to run too hard. But hats off to Scott Bailey Racing Engines and Tommy McCoy has this MB Customs on a rail." USRA Stock Cars win to Willie: Dean Willie earned his second O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win of the season, holding off William Garner by one car length. Willie, of Warresnburg, started fifth and he took over the lead from Rodney Schweitzer coming off turn two on lap four. But Schweitzer used the inside groove to regain the top spot the next time around. The order stayed that way until they flipped positions again on lap 13 as Willie edged by and William Garner was right behind the top two. Garner advanced into second on lap 16 and pressured Willie the rest of the way, but could not get by. Willie prevailed by .341 seconds. It was Garner's second straight runner-up feature finish. "We were just a little bit tight tonight," Willie said of the car, "but we figured out enough to make it happen. Somebody was there on me and got me plumb sideways on that last lap. That's racing. It made it fun. We were tight at the end and causing me to be higher on corner exit than I wanted to be." Schweitzer finished third with Ed Griggs fourth and Robert White taking fifth.

One class that could be particularly intriguing is the Legends, which 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. "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." To give fans a frame of reference on the speedway the Legend cars carry, Comer said the Legends typically will get around the track about one second slower than USRA B-Mods. Comer said he's estimating about 30 Legend cars to enter, with drivers from at least seven states. Included is an expected entry from Keelan Harvick, 10-year-old son of NASCAR star Kevin Harvick. Pits and spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Diamond Nationals Spotlight: Local fan favorite Cornell eager to debut new car

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 13, 2022) - Local fans could have a renewed reason to cheer one of their favorites Saturday night as Lucas Oil Speedway plays host ot the 16th annual CMH Diamond Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment. Kaeden Cornell, a 21-year-old from Willard who won the speedway's "Most Popular Driver" voting in runaway fashion four seasons in a row (2017-2020) will have a new Black Diamond chassis for the Rick Hoover Motorsports team. Cornell and Hoover were top contenders in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model division while racing weekly at Lucas Oil Speedway before branching out to try the rugged waters of open Late Model racing the last two seasons in the Lucas Oil MLRA Series. "The car K's been driving in a nine-year-old chassis," Hoover said. "We were bringing him up slow to make sure he got comfortable running with these big boys and all. He's there. He was there quite a while ago. But we needed to upgrade the car." Hoover said he spent considerable time during Show-Me 100 weekend at Wheatland visiting with Ronnie Stuckey of Stuckey Enterprises, which builds the Black Diamond chassis out of Shreveport, Louisiana. Hoover said Stuckey talked about the need for younger Late Model drivers in the pipeline as many of the sport's veterans are getting older. "He said, 'I've been watching 'K' quite a while.' I made a deal with him," Hoover said. "I went and got a new Black Diamond and we're gonna get a lot of help from Ronnie. This guy is so smart when it comes to race cars. "We've got the car ready. Everything on it is brand new. We don't have our new motor ready. We're gonna have to run the little one. But that's all right, we'll get him used to the car which won't take long." Cornell, who did manage a sixth-place in an MLRA feature a few weeks ago in Norfolk, Nebraska, is understandably elated. The team plans to break in the car - in the familiar-looking white wrap with blue-and-orange trim - on Thursday night at a combined Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series/Lucas Oil MLRA event at I-70 Motorsports Park in Odessa. "I think we probably have been needing this for a while," Cornell said. "Finances and everything, it took a while to get there. We finally got it and I think it'll be good and at least get us somewhat even with the field. Everyone we're racing against, it's tough. They're on a endless budget and they're all really, really good at what they do. "I'm just thankful for everything Rick's done for me. We've been together five or six years now. There's not a lot of that around here anymore, kids my age that get opportunities like this. I'm super thankful to Rick and everybody who helps me out." While the results haven't always been what he's desired since leaving the weekly racing scene, Cornell said he's learned a lot about the Late Model game. Mainly, he's found out how aggressive one has to wheel the car to keep up - especially against the national-touring series. "I get to line up and race against people I've watched my whole life," Cornell said. "Half the people I race against, I have their t-shirts that I bought when I was a kid." Hoover said the outpouring of support via text message, social media or word-of-mouth since news of the new car was released tells him that Cornell's popularity among the local fans has not waned. "It's unbelievable You wouldn't believe the fans and support, the texts and phone calls," Hoover said. "This kid has so much backing. We're not running much local since we went MLRA, so only chance they get to him race is video. This kid has so much backing it's unreal. He's such a good kid. Very humble." Asked his goals for this weekend and beyond, Cornell said he just hopes "to make Rick look good and Black Diamond to look good." Along with Hoover Motorsports and Black Diamond, team sponsors include DR Racing, Choate Farms, Midwest Sheet Metal, Oil & Octane, Swift Springs, True Form Racing Products, Simpson, Super Moon Graphics, Cloverleaf Auto Repair and Dynamic Drivelines." The Diamond Nationals will award the 50-lap feature winner $15,000 and a diamond ring. Also on the program will by the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds with a $1,000-to-win feature and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars running for a $750 first prize.

  Schultz captures B-Mod headliner at Lucas Oil Speedway's Veterans and Military Appreciation Night

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 9, 2022) - Terry Schultz led wire-to-wire to capture the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod 25-lap feature, the headline event Saturday night on Lucas Oil Speedway's Veterans and Military Appreciation Night. Other feature winners on the program presented by KOZL were Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber Late Models), Rob White (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars) and Dustin Hodges (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds). Schultz, of Sedalia, won for the seventh time overall in 2022. After a pair of fourth-place feature runs earlier in the season at Lucas Oil Speedway, Schultz said it was sweet to break through in the tough field. "We've had a good car for a long time," Schultz said. "I've got to thank Bobby and Sherry (Russell) for letting me drive it. We've been right up near the top two or three all the time, but just hadn't been able to get one here." After two mishaps before an official lap could be completed, Schultz grabbed the lead from fellow front-row starter Colson Kirk with JC Morton running third. Six-time track champion and 2022 points leader Kris Jackson started eighth in the feature but already advanced four spots when a caution stacked the field after lap six. Meanwhile, Andy Bryant also was zooming through the field after his heat-race win was went away due to a technical disqualification and he was fifth by lap eight after starting 20th. But Bryant would advance no further and neither would Jackson. The race remained caution-free the rest of the way and Schultz held on for his first Lucas Oil Speedway feature win of the season. Schultz beat Kirk by 1.1 seconds with Morton capturing third, Jackson taking fourth and Bryant a distant fifth. Wells takes another Late Model feature: Justin Wells picked up his second feature win in two attempts in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model division, beating Larry Ferris by 1.9 seconds. Fifth-starting Wells, of Aurora, took over the lead with seven laps remaining and turned a close battle into a comfortable win by stretching his command over the final few laps. "It feels great come out, in front of this crowd, and win at Lucas Oil Speedway," Wells said. "It's been a tough couple of years for us. We haven't won a whole lot. We've been promoting (races) instead of racing. We decided to go back to racing this year and we're starting to reap the benefits." Pole-starting Dalton Imhoff led the first three laps before being sandwiched between Ferris and Wells on lap four as Ferris sailed around the outside to take the lead and Wells went low to claim second. Ferris and Wells then separated from the field and battled side-by-side for the lead with Wells working the bottom just as he did in a June 30 feature win. Wells finally slipped past Ferris coming out of turn four on lap 13 and he drove away from there, picking through lapped traffic, to make it two wins in a row. "Larry's a great competitor and we never touched once," Wells said. "We had a good race for the lead and I thought Larry had us covered there for a little bit. I had to switch up my line just a little. "I think this is (feature win) number 91 on this car. It's a 2006 model car. It just keeps going and going." Tucker Cox finished third with Bryon Allison fourth and Larry Jones wound up fifth. Rob White earns narrow Stock Cars triumph: Scoring his first O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win of the season, Rob White held off fellow Lebanon resided William Garner by less than a half-second. Rob White went around the outside of Christopher Sawyer for the lead on lap four after Sawyer led the opening four laps. Garner moved in second one lap later and engaged White for the lead, sticking to the back bumper of the leader until the end as the race clicked off caution-free over the final 18 laps. White held on to prevail by .411 seconds or about a car length. "I think us Lebanon boys got 1-2-3 tonight," White said in victory lane. "I'd like to thank my family. My wife's not here, but I want to thank her and ... just everybody that helps. This is awesome." Bryan White, Rob's son, finished third with David Hendrix fourth and Ed Griggs in fifth. Late pass sends Hodges to USRA Modified win: Dustin Hodges worked and worked and could not get by leader Eric Turner on the outside. So Hodges switched strategy coming to the white flag and made a diving, low-side pass for the lead. The Centralia driver made the pass hold up, going on to beat Turner by .673 seconds to score the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified victory for his first Lucas Oil Speedway win. "We've been working hard on getting it done here at Lucas Oil Speedway for many, many years and finally got it," Hodges said. Front-row starting Cody Brill beat Turner on the drop of the green and led the first five laps before Turner gained the top spot on lap six with Hodges moving into the runner-up position by circuit 10 of the 20-lapper. Hodges could get alongside Turner on the outside in turns three and four, but couldn't get past. He said he looked up at the video board with laps running out and knew he had to do something. "Man, I knew I was way faster than he was and I was just trying to do it up through the middle," Hodges said. "He kept drifting all the way up. I didn't want to get into him. I knew I was running out of laps so I had to take it. "The car is phenomenal right now. That's two-for-two for the weekend. It's awesome." Hodges also won on Friday night at Callaway Speedway. He has six feature wins overall this season. Brill finished third with Tracy Wolf fourth and Jason Pursley fifth. Points leader Dillon McCowan, who was DQ'd in tech after a heat-race win, started 14th and rallied for sixth.

  Freedom Jeep and Unforgotten Heroes Foundation join Lucas Oil Speedway's Veterans and Military Appreciation Night on Saturday

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 8, 2022) - After Debrya Faria's father passed away just shy of his 95th birthday, soon followed by several of his fellow World World II veteran friends, Faria wanted to pay tribute to what's often called America's Greatest Generation. So Faria came up with the unique idea of the "Freedom Jeep," a vehicle airbrushed with images paying tribute to all military members and veterans by Nathan Curry, a renowned artist from Nixa, Missouri. "I just want to bring awareness to the younger generation, so they realize what (the veterans) went through and what they sacrificed," said Faria, who serves on the Women's Auxiliary at American Legion Post 639 in Springfield. "Every kid loves a jeep and they swarm it." Faria's Freedom Jeep will be on display Saturday on Lucas Oil Speedway's Midway as part of the Veterans and Military Appreciation Night Presented by KOZL. All active military or veterans will be admitted free to the dirt-track program with ID. Gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. Also on Saturday, the Unforgotten Heroes Foundation will be a part of the program on the Midway. It will have raffles, giveaways, games for kids with prizes and merchandise. The Unforgotten Heroes B-Mod will be on display. Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said recognition of the military, active or retired, always is a part of the opening ceremonies at the speedway. There is added emphasis this week with Faria's Freedom Jeep and the Unforgotten Heroes Foundation additional ways to recognize those who served or are serving their country. Faria said the Freedom Jeep has several elements on it, beginning with the P-51 bomber plane, her father's favorite from World War II. Her dad's military helmet also is part of the display with his two bronze stars and the words "In Honor of Those Who Served." There also is recognition of Vietnam veterans with plans for Curry to add more art to the jeep, including blue lights coming out when the hood is raised with a tribute to the 9/11 tragedy and the Twin Towers plus the war in Afghanistan. "I've had veterans come up to me and cry when they saw my Jeep," Faria said. "That touches my heart. When they say 'thank you' and cry, I know I'm getting that message out. "I love my veterans. People need to realize the sacrifice. It tears me up. Everybody says why do you spend so much money on the Jeep and I say, 'Well it cost them their lives.' You cannot put a price on what they sacrificed for us." Faria said she is a die-hard racing fan, of both cars and drag boats, and is looking forward to the fans getting a close-up look at the Freedom Jeep on Saturday. It's a big doubleheader racing weekend of racing at Lucas Oil Speedway with the Kentucky Drag Boat Association firing up the KDBA Summer Thunder on Lake Lucas during the daytime, Saturday and Sunday.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Rookie Watts races No. 98 USRA B-Mod in tribute to fallen cousin

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 7, 2022) - Christopher Gavin Watts sold some of his favorite items, including jet skis and a RZR side-by-side, to pull together enough money to buy his first race car. His plan was to go racing in the USRA B-Mod division with his cousin, James Gates. That dream never had the chance to happen. Gates was killed last December in an automobile accident in Hickory County, shaking not only the family but the tight-knit Ozarks-area dirt-track racing community. After Watts decided to race on in 2022, he decided to pay tribute to his cousin at the same time. Watts is driving Gates' car, keeping the same door panels with the orange-on-black No. 98. The idea came about while chatting with veteran racer and Lucas Oil Speedway flagman Mike Striegel, a racing mentor to both cousins. "We were gonna put a new body on the car," Watts said. "Striegel was like, 'What do you say we keep her close to the same this year?' We kind of just went with the flow and are doing a memorial car for him this year. His wife thought it was a good idea and everything just kind of fell into place. "It's been a cool little deal and keeping everybody involved in the deal he started." Despite missing one racing program to attend a wedding, Watts sits 13th in the Lucas Oil Speedway Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod points, just 33 out of the top 10. The B-Mods will be the featured division at Saturday night's Veterans and Military Appreciation Night Presented by KOZL. Watts said he feels good about his rookie season and is quick to thank several people who have helped him, including Striegel along with his Dad and Grandfather. Watts has qualified to two B-Mod A Features in seven Lucas Oil Speedway programs, with finishes near the back of the pack. But he said last time out for the Thursday Night Thunder program was one of his best despite missing the A Feature lineup by one transfer position from the B-Main. "We didn't make it to the show, but the car handled really good," Watts said. "We had one other time the car was excellent, when we went to I-35 in Winston and missed the show by one spot there, like we did last weekend. "This whole experience has been awesome. I've wanted to do it forever and with the circumstances that happened, getting to do it in my cousin's car is pretty cool." Watts, who is from Osceola, said he and Gates, from Wheatland, grew up around racing as their dads both raced on the dirt. The cousins were one year apart in age. "He got into it before I did and got him a car - this car I'm racing now was his first car, also," Watts said. Since he began racing this season, Watts said many other family members and even some of Gates' friends and even Late Model racer Joe Walkenhorst have offered to help. "A lot of people are supporting it and it's just been a cool thing," he said. Driving in the ultra-competitive USRA B-Mod division, where four speedway regulars (Kris Jackson, JC Morton, Andy Bryant and Ryan Gillmore) have claimed past USRA National Championships, has been an education. Watts said he learns by keeping his eyes and ears open to advice. "It's very tough and we have learned a lot just by watching some of the veteran drivers," Watts said. "They race clean. Nobody races you too dirty. But man, if you want to run up front, you better know what you're doing. "When we started this year, I missed one race to go to a wedding and we dropped from 10th to now ranked 13th. That's not too bad for a first year, jumping straight into the B-Mod class. A lot of the B-Mod drivers aren't scared to help. Jackson, he's one you can learn from just watching him race." Team sponsors include Motley Dozing and Construction, 5W Customs, Rains Seed Service, C&R Lawn Care and Tree Service and Outlaw Race Bodies. Watts said he would like to finish top 10 in points or even claim a top-10 feature finish before the season concludes. He wants to do it for himself and to honor his cousin. "I'm starting with my goals pretty small, but I didn't think this year would go as good as it has so far," Watts said. "We're gonna keep on trying to make our way faster." Drag boats and dirt-track doubleheader: It's a big doubleheader racing weekend of racing at Lucas Oil Speedway with the Kentucky Drag Boat Association firing up the KDBS Summer Thunder on Lake Lucas during the daytime, Saturday and Sunday.
