  After a wild Show-Me 100, Moran declared the winner after Thornton's post-race penalty

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 27, 2023) - The 31st annual Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism was wild and crazy, rough and tumble and had post-race controversy. They'll certainly be talking about this one for a while. Devin Moran, second under the checkers, was declared the victor when apparent race-winner Ricky Thornton Jr. was penalized four positions in post-race inspection. "What the hell?" Moran asked in victory lane after claiming the $50,000 first prize. "This is like the best, worst win of my life. I just won the frickin' Show-Me 100 and $50,000, but Ricky was the best car in the field." Moran, 28 of Dresden, Ohio, claimed the win in his SSI Motorsports Longhorn chassis after he finished just under one second behind Thornton. But a few moments later, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series officials announced that Thornton's car was in violation of the "droop rule" regarding the height of the rear deck. Tim McCreadie wound up officially in second with Spencer Hughes third, defending champion Chris Ferguson fourth and Thornton eventually penalized to fifth place. Local favorite 19-year-old Dillon McCowan of Urbana was sixth. Thornton, of Martinsville, Ind., led the final 43 laps in a race that turned into survival of the fittest with 13 caution flags and a track that had plenty of character - especially over the final half of the event. Asked how long it was going to take for it to set in that he was a Show-Me 100 champion, Moran shook his head. "I have no idea," Moran said. "There might be an asterisk by it, but it's gonna pay 50 grand one way or the other, so we're gonna take it. And we're gonna drink some beer tonight." The Ricky Thornton Jr. Facebook page posted afterward: "3/8th of an inch high on droop after the left rear chain broke. A $50,000 win taken away for less than half an inch after a parts failure on THAT track. sickening." The biggest question coming into the event was if anyone could beat Jonathan Davenport this week at Lucas Oil Speedway. Davenport started alongside Thornton on the front row and led the first 58 laps - after leading every lap in winning preliminary features. Davenport survived nine caution flags to lead the first 58 laps in a race that took 50 minutes to complete 50 laps. Thornton pulled alongside Davenport on lap 54, but couldn't complete the pass. The duo traded sliders the next time around with Davenport still hanging onto the point as Hughes watched from third. Finally, for the first time this week, Davenport lost the lead as Thornton edged past on the inside out of turn four on lap 58. This was after Davenport had led 142 of 142 laps including the two preliminary night features. Thornton, by contrast, had picked up 29 positions on Thursday and Friday. He was able to weave through lapped traffic to open a nearly one-second lead over Davenport by lap 66. Then came caution No. 10 for a slowing Hudson O'Neal in turn two. O'Neal, the 2021 winner, had rallied from 20th to as high as sixth and was in eighth when he lost power. Thornton was able to open up a 2.7-second lead by lap 72 as Davenport had a similar cushion over third-place Hughes. Davenport started to close the gap in lapped traffic, getting within one second by lap 79. Davenport slipped way high in turn four on lap 83, almost hitting the wall. The cost him dearly as Thornton's lead expanded to 5.3 seconds - or about a full straightaway's margin. By lap 90, it was a runaway as Thornton led by seven seconds as Davenport's handling went away. Overton rode into second, but it appeared all Thornton's race by then. But Chad Simpson hit the backstretch wall on lap 96 to bring out the caution and wipe out Thornton's 5.3-second lead over Overton. That set up a four-lap shootout to determine the outcome. They were unable to get a lap finished after the restart as Overton hit the wall while battling with Moran out of turn four. "I drove like an idiot and wrecked the 76," Moran said. "I'll probably get a black eye when we get back to the pits, but the hell with it. We won the race, I guess." That sent Davenport back to second for the restart with Moran third and Hughes fourth. Davenport slowed on lap 98, apparently running out of fuel to bring out the 13th caution. Davenport, the 2015 winner, limped to the pits and settled for a 10th-place finish. Thornton was able to hold on during the green-white-checkered finish and beat Moran to the checkers by .904 seconds. The race took one hour, 19 minutes to complete. Then came the fateful trip to the tech building and Moran's unsuspecting trip to victory lane. "I want to thank Kevin Rumley and all of Longhorn," Moran said of the renowned engineer from North Carolina and the chassis he was driving. "Our crew has worked their (butts) off. We've worked as many hours as you could imagine this week." McCreadie said he felt fortunate to win up second and pocket $20,000. His car jumped the cushion and he fell back to eighth on the restart that saw Moran and Overton's incident bring out the caution. "Another hip check and there it was, another guy stuck in the boards," McCreadie said, using a hockey analogy. "We just do our best, we got some luck and we'll take it. It's a shame what happened to Ricky." Ferguson rallied from 16th to fourth, finding a different sort of race track that in his victory a year ago. He also was able to walk away feeling good, all things considered. "We're pretty happy. The crew has worked their butts off this weekend after we threw this car together in a couple of days," Ferguson said. "We'd have loved to have seen that cushion go down a lot faster. I'm just blessed to be up here on the front stretch again. "Congratulations to Devin. I know he's been looking for a win like this for a while. I'm happy to see him get it. I hate it for Ricky. Any time the track is rough like that, you're gonna have stuff happen. It was a good race, though. I know the fans thought it was exciting coming out of four there a couple of times" McCowan, who was a Show-Me 100 spectator sitting in the grandstand two years ago and competing in a USRA Modified at the event in 2022, was overjoyed with his finish. He started sixth, fell back to 13th for a time and rallied late while staying out of trouble. "It was awesome," McCowan said of his weekend. "I couldn't have scripted it out any better. I just wanted to make the show and not get lapped. This is pretty crazy It was a fun race. The track had a lot of character."

USRA Modified feature goes to Wheeler: Chad Wheeler of Muskogee, Okla., won the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature in a race declared over two laps shy of its planned 30 laps after a power outage took away the front stretch lights. The race was under caution on lap 28 when the lights went down. He was leading runner-up Robbie Reed by 1.6 seconds when a caution flew just before the outage. Wheeler earned $2,000 for the victory with Reed second, Ryan Middaugh third and Paden Phillips fourth. "A win's a win. You don't see that happen very often," Wheeler said. "What was scary, you couldn't see the flagman. What an awesome race track Lucas gave us. You could race all over it." Matt Johnson led the way through 11 laps before Wheeler, rallying from a sixth-starting position, took the lead on lap 12. Middaugh also drove past Johnson and those two quickly opened up a 10 car-length margin over third place. Middaugh slid past Wheeler for the top spot on lap 18, but just two laps later, Wheeler returned the favor with a pass heading into turn three. Wheeler, who won a preliminary feature on Thursday, led the rest of the way.

  Davenport does it again, capturing Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson to nail down Show-Me 100 pole

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 26, 2023) - Jonathan Davenport's perfect weekend continued Friday night at the 31st annual Show-Me 100 Presented by the Missouri Division of Tourism. Davenport led all 40 laps to capture the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson at Lucas Oil Speedway, adding to his Thursday night Cowboy Classic triumph. He held off a late-charging Tim McCreadie to prevail by two car lengths for his 68th career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory and third win at Lucas Oil Speedway in 2023. The Blairsville, Ga., driver has led all 85 laps of the features the first two nights as drivers collected points to help determine the starting lineup for Saturday night's 100-lap, $50,000-to-win Show-Me 100. While "Superman" has earned $6,000 for each of the two victories so far this weekend, he now sets his sights on the big prize and will start from the pole of the 100-lapper. "I haven't got into traffic a lot to see how good our car really is," Davenport said, noting the toughest assignment awaits. "We've been fortunate to qualify good and we got lucky tonight to win the heat race and get to start on the front row. So, we've led a lot of laps but we haven't had to pass a lot of good cars yet. "I still think we have a lot of work to do to be able to seal the deal tomorrow," the 2015 Show-Me 100 winner added. "We get to start on the front row, though. It's going to be a long race. We've led 85 laps so far, just as long as we lead the last 85 tomorrow we'll be fine." The Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson honors the former owners of West Plains Motor Speedway, who started the Show-Me 100 in 1993. It was a dandy race as Davenport, despite leading every lap, had to fend off challengers throughout. Just as he did a night earlier, Davenport jumped to the lead on lap one and already had a 1.3-second command over Brandon Overton with Payton Looney in third when the race's first caution flew on lap four. By lap 10, Davenport's lead over Overton was a half-second with Jimmy Owens advancing from eighth to fourth and closing in on Looney for third. The leaders were able to avoid a pair of stalled cars that spun in turns three and four to bring out a lap-13 caution. Looney got a great restart to whip around Overton and into second. As the race reached the halfway point at lap 20, Davenport led Looney by 1.2 seconds with Overton right behind. Three laps later, the leaders caught lapped traffic with Looney pulling alongside Davenport on the low side, but unable to complete a pass. Twelfth-starting Mason Zeigler joined the top three to make it a four-car battle, first-to-fourth separated by 1.9 seconds when the event's third caution slowed the battle on lap 28.The race's return to green only lasted one lap as Zeigler slowed with mechanical issues, taking him out of contention. Overton used the restart to regain second, pushing Looney back to third with Jimmy Owens in fourth with 11 to go. Looney returned the favor to Overton on the restart and gave chase of Davenport on lap 30 but couldn't keep up. McCreadie, lurking just outside the top five much of the race, found his best speed late, moving around Looney with four to go and closed in on the leader. But Davenport, hugging the low groove, held on to beat McCreadie by .271 seconds. "I saw the white flag so I kind of floated through (turns) one and two, then I tried to block the bottom and the top on the last lap, because I had no idea where to be there," Davenport said. "It was good to see the 39 (McCreadie) first and second. As much as we run up and down the road ... we bounce a lot of ideas off one another." Both Davenport and McCreadie, the two-time reigning Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champion, drive Longhorn chassis. "I think everybody just came to use and we had a couple of restarts," McCreadie said. "We got up there and were fighting for it, but once JD kind of maneuvered it, I kind of was dead in the water. But we'll take a second and try to find some speed tomorrow." Ricky Thornton Jr., the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points leader, came from seemingly nowhere in the last few laps to finish third. Thornton started 24th and last after having to go to a backup car after engine issues after a third-place heat-race finish. He even had to visit the hot pits early in the feature to get an adjustment. "We just changed a couple of small things and after that, it took off," Thornton said. "Credit to my crew. They busted their butts. Looney, the 2020 Show-Me 100 winner and home crowd favorite from Republic, wound up fourth with Overton fifth. Looney, who missed Thursday's feature with mechanical issues, said he probably drove his car too hard in the first half of the race, battling with Davenport. "When I caught Jonathan in lapped traffic, nothing really mattered besides trying to pass him," Looney said. "I blistered the right rear really bad. I was just trying to hang on the last 10 laps. The right rear was pretty well toast at that point." Defending Show-Me 100 champion Chris Ferguson finished sixth while Owens was seventh. Jeff Herzog had fast qualifying time in Group A at 15.611 seconds, then went on to win his heat race to earn the feature-race pole. Owens posted a 16.104 time to lead Group B. Johnson takes USRA Modified feature: Matt Johnson of Archie took the lead from Ryan Middaugh with eight laps remaining and went on to earn the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature victory. Middaugh started on the outside front row and led from the start, with Johnson staying close as those two broke away from the rest of the field. Middaugh led by two car lengths at the mid point with third-place Dylan Hoover nearly five seconds behind the leading duo. Two laps later, Johnson was able to work his way to the inside and pass Middaugh coming out of turn four on lap 12 for the lead, as the leaders hit lapped traffic. Johnson was able to pull away from there to finish 2.9 seconds in front of Middaugh, the track points leader in the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified division. "Ryan did a really good job. We just kind of tucked in behind him and the track ogt better and better," Johnson said. "My car just pulled around there perfect and we're happy." Hoover was four seconds in back of Middaugh to earn third with Tyler Hibner fourth and Paden Phillips in fifth. The Modifieds, like the Late Models, accumulated points the first two night to help set their feature lineup for the Saturday finale which will be worth $2,000 to win. Saturday action: The Saturday program includes B Mains, the Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge and the Show-Me 100-lap feature event paying $50,000-to-win for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Lucas Oil MLRA. Pit gates open at 3 p.m., grandstands at 4 with pre-race concert from 5-5:45 p.m., opening ceremonies at 6, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. Lee Newton pre-race concert: Nutrien Ag Solutions will add to the fan experience on Saturday by presenting a pre-race concert from 5-5:45 p.m. featuring Nashville recording artist/songwriter Lee Newton.

  Davenport strikes first with Cowboy Classic victory as Show-Me 100 kicks off at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 25, 2023) - Jonathan Davenport put an emphatic end to a rare lengthy winless streak, coming up big as the three-night run of the 31st annual Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism got rolling. Davenport led all 45 laps of Thursday night's 10th annual Cowboy Classic at Lucas Oil Speedway, a caution-free event for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA that took only 13 minutes, 19 seconds to complete. The Blairsville, Ga., driver led all the way, but needed to deftly weave his Longhorn chassis through lapped traffic and hold off an on-charging Ricky Thornton Jr. in the late going. Thornton pulled alongside the leader with three laps to go, but couldn't made the pass and finished about four car lengths behind Davenport. Davenport, the 2015 Show-Me 100 winner, picked up his 67th career victory in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and first since capturing Night Two of the Lucas Oil MLRA Spring Nationals on April 1. He earned $6,000 for the victory and valuable points toward starting position for Saturday night's $50,000-to-win, 100-lap grand finale. The racetrack was awesome for about the first 30 laps," Davenport said. "They caught me before I moved up enough. Hats off to the track crew they did a great job; they don't need to really overdo it for Saturday night. "We have been off a little bit. It's been a lot leading up this. We've learned a lot what not to do. We've learned somewhat what to do now to these race cars." "Thanks to my guys. This is awesome. Just glad to get back on a roll in front of them, maybe. We've been off a little bit. Actually, (Chris) Madden called me today and and me and him gave each other a little pep talk. I saw where he won (tonight) at New Sharon (Ohio). That was cool." Davenport joked that he was perhaps given a good omen earlier this week when he went to get treated for neck discomfort. I went to the chiropractor early this week," Davenport said. "She adjusted my neck and said 'you're going to race better this weekend. I got your head back on straight.' " The 10th annual "Cowboy Classic" is run in honor of the late Allen "Cowboy" Chancellor, the long-time owner of the Midwest Late Model Racing Association. Coming up on Friday night is The "Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson," who started the Show-Me 100 at West Plains Motor Speedway in 1993. It's also a $6,000-to-win feature for the Late Models with more points earned for the starting lineup for the Show-Me 100 main event. Davenport started on the outside of the front row and roared into turn three on the outside to pass pole-starting and local fan favorite Dillon McCowan to lead lap one. Ten caution-free laps saw Davenport stretch his command to nearly one second over Tyler Bruening with McCowan running third and Chris Simpson in fourth. By this point, the leaders had caught lapped traffic and most of them rolled around the high groove to pass the slower cars. Davenport was able to used the traffic to expand his margin over Bruening, leading by 2.1 seconds by lap 17 with the top four remaining unchanged since lap one. Meanwhile, Ricky Thornton Jr. rallied to fifth after starting 10th. Thornton's ascent continued as he got around McCowan for third on lap 22 and then sailed past Bruening just one lap later - but he still was 3.4 seconds behind the flying Davenport. Thornton started closing in with 10 to go, cutting Davenport's lead to less than a second. He closed onto the rear of the leader's car coming to the start-finish line of lap 38, before falling back by four car lengths. "I had a really good car. I think I found the bottom before a lot of guys did and that's how I got into second," Thornton said. As the duo weaved in and out of lapped cars, Thornton dove to the inside of turn three on lap 42 and made some contact. Davenport was able to hang on to his car and the lead and again open up about a five-car-length lead as he took the white flag. "I thought for sure I was spinning him out down there," Thornton said. "He moved to the bottom getting into three and I tried to squeeze down next to him. Luckily I didn't spin him around and he was able to keep going." "Superman" held on from there for his sixth victory of the season, outlasting Thornton by .967 seconds. Bruening finished third, McCreadie fourth and Spencer Hughes wound up fifth. Late Model rookie McCowan, 19, wound up sixth and picked up a solid points total toward Saturday's starting lineup. McCowan won his heat race to earn the pole for Thursday's feature. Davenport said the Show-Me 100 is one of a handful of events he's extra-hungry to win in 2023, after he made contact with a slower car and spun while leading late in last year's 100-lapper. "I had two or three races from last year circled on my calendar that I let get away, that we should have won," Davenport said. "I guess it all don't matter unless I'm back up here talking to y'all again on Saturday." It was a tough night for defending Show-Me 100 winner Chris Ferguson of Mount Holly, N.C. Ferguson failed to qualify for the Cowboy Classic after running seventh in his B Main. Payton Looney of Republic, the 2020 winner, also was a non-qualifier after mechanical issues in hot laps and damage to his car in his heat race. Four-time Show-Me 100 winner Jimmy Owens finished 10th and 2021 winner Hudson O'Neal was 21st. The Saturday program includes B Mains, the Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge and the Show-Me 100-lap feature event paying $50,000-to-win for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Lucas Oil MLRA. Pit gates open at 4 p.m. and spectator gates at 5 on Friday, with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. On Saturday, pit gates open at 3 p.m., grandstands at 4 with pre-race concert from 5-5:45 p.m., opening ceremonies at 6, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. Wheeler earns USRA Modified feature win: Chad Wheeler led all 20 laps, surviving a tangle with a lapped car midway just past the halfway point, to win the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified main event. Wheeler beat Jeff Cutshaw by 2.4 seconds as the Modifieds follow a similar path toward Saturday night's finale. Like the Late Models, they compile points the first two nights toward Saturday's $2,000-to-win feature. "This is a special place to win," said Wheeler, who has raced little the last couple of years as he's been focused on building WR1 simulators for iRacing that have become so popular for fans and even NASCAR raceres. Wheeler and Joe Duvall started up front and quickly pulled away from the field in the early going, with Wheeler in front and third-place Cutshaw three seconds behind Duvall. The leaders caught lapped traffic by the midpoint of the 20-lapper and Wheeler appeared to get the short end of contact with a slower car on lap 12 after Duvall went to the inside heading into turn one. But since Wheeler's car never stopped rolling and running order reverted to the previous lap, Wheeler restarted ahead of Duvall with nine laps to go. "I got to thinking out there while I was leading and I haven't led a race in a long time," Wheeler said. "I caught the lapped cars a lot faster than I thought I was going to. I really screwed up and ran over that guy. I'm glad I kept the motor running. I knew it was critical if we killed the car." "I have an incredible car. This is Cade Dillard's personal car and I'm glad Cade is giving us the opportunity," Wheeler said. "My driving will come back around and hopefully we can win another one this weekend." Cutshaw got around Duvall on the restart, but Wheeler pulled away. The Muskogee, Okla., driver prevailed by 2.4 seconds over Cutshaw with Dvall third, Ryan Middaugh fourth and Matt Johnson finishing fifth.

  It's Show-Me 100 week at Lucas Oil Speedway and here are a dozen things to know

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 24, 2023) - It's almost time for dirt-track racing fans to converge on south-central Missouri for the annual three-day celebration of Late Model excellence and excitement. The 31st annual Show-Me 100 Presented by the Missouri Division of Tourism is coming up Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway, with many of dirt racing's elite drivers chasing the final-night big prize of $50,000. Before action commences, here's a look at a "Diamond Dozen" of story lines to watch as the best of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA converge on the "Diamond of Dirt Tracks." Could it be 'Fergy Time' again? Chris Ferguson of Mount Holly, N.C., scored a breakthrough victory in the 2022 Show-Me 100, taking the lead after a restart with a dozen laps remaining. It was the first crown-jewel victory for Ferguson who continued to show a great affinity for Lucas Oil Speedway, where he won the 2020 CMH Diamond Nationals. "It's a feeling like no other," Ferguson recalled earlier this spring of the checkered flag waving and pulling into victory lane a Show-Me 100 winner. "For me, etching your name in the history books is super cool. Us drivers want to win every race, but the big ones are the most important. Adding my name to the Show-Me 100 list is an accomplishment in a lifetime that some never accomplish." Check out a full story on Ferguson in the official Show-Me 100 souvenir program, on sale during the event in the Track Treasures Gift Shop. Ricky Thornton Jr. on the verge: If you're looking for a first-time Show-Me 100 driver to emerge, keep an eye on Ricky Thornton Jr. The Martinsville, Ind., driver finished a close second to Ferguson in the Show-Me 100 a year ago after earning seventh ih the race in 2021 and fifth in 2020. "RTJ" knows his way to victory lane at Lucas Oil Speedway, capturing the opening night of the MLRA Spring Nationals earlier this season, against a field full of Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series regulars. He's also red-hot, sweeping a pair of LOLMDS features last weekend in Iowa to catapult to the top of the series points standings. There's a trend favoring dramatic finishes: Since Jonathan Davenport led all 100 laps in dominating the 2015 Show-Me 100, the last six editions of the race (the 2019 event was canceled due to storm damage) have seen the final lead change occur on lap 87 or later three times. Payton Looney led the final 70 circuits to prevail in 2020, but the average final pass since 2016 has been lap 72. No recent Show-Me is more memorable than 2016 when Jimmy Owens took over with just eight laps remaining. "Superman" ready to soar: Perhaps the driver to beat at any dirt track in which he enters is Jonathan Davenport, aka "Superman." The native of Blairsville, Ga., dominated in winning his only Show-Me 100 in 2015 and could be poised to win again after tuning up at Lucas Oil Speedway with a Night Two MLRA Spring Nationals victory in early April. The three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champion surpassed $2 million in earnings during an historic 2022 season. Show-Me State hopes: Payton Looney of Republic became the second Missourian to win the Show-Me 100 when he scored a popular victory in 2020, joining Terry Phillips (1999) the only home-state winners. Looney is part of a contingent of Missourians who will be chasing victory lane again and that list includes a newcomer. Dillon McCowan, a 19-year-old from nearby Urbana, has moved up from Modifieds to Late Models in 2023 and will have many local fans cheering him on. Another Ozarks-area driver to consider is Lebanon's Tony Jackson Jr., a two-time Lucas Oil MLRA Series champion. New team, same goal for "New Deal" O'Neal: When Hudson O'Neal won the 2021 Show-Me 100, it was an emotional victory for the Indiana driver as he joined his father, Don O'Neal, to form the the only father and son to win the Show-Me 100. Hudson O'Neal, 22, is in his first season driving the Rocket house car and he's made a quick transition as he held the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points lead until last week and come to Wheatland just 40 behind Ricky Thornton Jr. Three nights, three features: While everything will build toward the 100-lap, $50,000-to-win main event on Saturday night, there are three full nights of racing scheduled. The Show-Me 100 kicks off on Thursday with the 10th annual Cowboy Classic, honoring the long-time MLRA Owner/Promoter Allen "Cowboy" Chancellor, headlining the program. On Friday, it's the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson, in honor of longtime West Plains Motor Speedway owners Don and Billie Gibson who started the Show-Me 100 in 1991. Results from the first two nights will help set the lineup for the big finale. Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge always dramatic: The final Late Model race prior to the Show-Me 100 is Saturday night's Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge. It's a non-qualifiers race where the winner can take either the $2,500 check or opt to give it back for a spot at the rear of the Show-Me 100 starting lineup. Chris and Jan Davis of Midwest Sheet Metal have sponsored the last-chance race since 2013 with many exciting results. The first year, Mike Marlar won the race and went on to run seventh in the Show-Me 100 after starting 33rd. Chris Simpson parlayed his win into a last-to-third run in 2015 to earn $6,000 and Bobby Pierce went from last to briefly leading the race in the late going, before a flat tire relegated him to sixth in 2016 to earn $5,000. Don't forget about the USRA Modifieds: Also in action each night will be the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds, who get a shot at running on the big stage and getting television time. They'll run a similar format as the Late Models, with full programs the first two nights including qualifying heat races and features, in which drivers will earn points toward a starting position in a $2,000-to-win, $200-to-start feature on Saturday. Each night, drivers will also collect track and USRA national points. All eyes on the sky: Everyone is optimistic that Mother Nature will finally cooperate and this will be the first year since 2018 that all three nights of the Show-Me 100 will go off without complications. The 2019 event was canceled due to storm damage, the 2020 Show-Me 100 was moved to a one-day show in July due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2021 and '22 races were affected by weather on the preliminary nights. As showtime nears, the forecast for south-central Missouri is for sunshine and warm temperatures. Lee Newton pre-race concert on Saturday: Remember to arrive early on Saturday as Nutrien Ag Solutions will add to the fan experience by presenting a pre-race concert from 5-5:45 p.m. featuring Nashville recording artist/songwriter Lee Newton. During pre-race ceremonies, Lucas Oil Speedway will honor the Veterans and Military as part of the Memorial Day Weekend as a nation. Newton will also serve as Grand Marshal for the Show-Me 100. She is a three-time Josie Music Award winner and the Josie Music Vocalist of the Year in 2020. Door panel auction for a great cause: In what's become one of the great traditions of Show-Me 100 weekend, Ozarks Area Racers Foundation Hall of Famer photographer Ron Mitchell's Door Panel Auction will return to the hillside between the spectator entrance and main grandstands. The silent auction, featuring door panels of many Late Model and USMTS drivers, has raised at least $60,000 over the years to benefit the American Cancer Society.

  "CROWN JEWEL WEEKEND" MLRA PREPARES FOR 31ST ANNUAL SHOW-ME 100  

  Wheatland, Missouri (May 22, 2023) - The Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) returns to the pristine Lucas Oil Speedway this weekend for the 31st Annual Show-Me 100 Presented by the Missouri Division of Tourism. The three-day racing affair will yet again pair the top drivers from the MLRA with their counterparts from the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) for a shot at the weekends $50,000 top prize. Drivers will battle for nightly points on Thursday and Friday in an attempt to lock into the big dance on Saturday. Thursday night will feature a complete show dubbed the "Cowboy Classic", in honor of longtime MLRA Series promoter & owner Allen "Cowboy" Chancellor. The winner will collect the coveted Cowboy trophy along with pocketing $6,000 to start off their weekend. Friday night will be round # 2 for qualifying action with another $6,000 to win preliminary "A" Feature. Friday's racing action honors the longtime owners of the West Plains Motor Speedway with the running of the "Tribute to Don & Billie Gibson". The Gibson's were instrumental in the inception of the Crown Jewel Show-Me 100, which began in West Plains in 1993 before moving to the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo in 2010. The pressure mounts on Saturday with last chance B-Mains followed by the Midwest Sheet Metal "Show-Me Challenge" race for non-qualifiers. The Show-Me Challenge, presented by long time supporters Chris & Jan Davis, will give the winner a chance to forego the winners check and tag the tail as the final starter in the Show-Me 100 or take the payday and watch the finale from sidelines. Tony Jackson Jr. won the event in 2022 and chose to pocket the $2,500 pay day. The weekend will culminate on Saturday night when the field battles it out in a 100-lap dash to see who will collect the $50,000 payday. Chris Ferguson of Mt. Holly, NC topped the field of 63 entries to record the biggest win of his career in 2022 over Ricky Thornton Jr. and Tim McCreadie. CHAD SIMPSON LEADS MLRA CONTINGENT-- Chad Simpson enters the weekend carrying the Midwest Sheet Metal Spoiler as the series point leader, holding onto a 175-point advantage over brother Chris Simpson. Chad Simpson has had a number of good runs at the Lucas Oil Speedway in recent years, include a runner-up finisher in this year's MLRA Spring Nationals and a 5th place finish in the Show-Me 100 just a year ago. Multi-time MLRA winner and defending LOLMDS Rookie of the Year Garrett Alberson holds down the third spot and is followed closely by a pair of MLRA Rookie of the Year Candidates. Tyler Stevens of Searcy, AR leads the Sunoco ROY chase thus far and occupies 4th in the standings by a mere 20 points over fellow rookie Dillon McCowan. #25 Chad Simpson--Photo Credit: Mike Ruefer Photos Season Turnaround-- Chris Simpson would rather forget his last trip to Lucas Oil Speedway, a weekend that netted him a pair of 25th place finishes in the MLRA Spring Nationals. However, since leaving Wheatland in early April, Simpson has been on a tear with the MLRA, recording five consecutive top five finishes including his 16th career MLRA victory at the Lake Ozark Speedway.  Simpson will look to make his 8th Show-Me 100 start this weekend, an event that has been kind to him in the past. While he has yet to visit victory lane at Lucas Oil Speedway he has recorded three top fives in the Crown Jewel event, including a runner-up finish to Jimmy Owens in 2013, followed by a third place run in 2015, which came after he won the Show-Me Challenge race. #32 Chris Simpson--Photo Credit: Mike Ruefer Photos On The Big Stage-- One year ago Dillon McCowan was the star of the show in the USRA Modified portion of the Show-Me 100, as he cruised to the $1,500 top prize. This time around the tires are bigger and the cars are faster for McCowan, as he will try to lock into his first career Show-Me 100 at just 19 years of age. McCowan came out of the gates strong in the MLRA season opener in Wheatland, leading the first 13 laps and eventually coming home in 5th in his series debut. Although still a youngster in comparison to the majority of the field, McCowan has a great history and a lot of experience around Lucas Oil Speedway that will be a big asset in his quest for a Show-Me 100 title.

  Wells celebrates unusual Late Model feature victory in Lucas Oil Speedway headliner as Bryant, Davis, McMillin also win

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 13, 2023) - Justin Wells' latest Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature victory at Lucas Oil Speedway was by no means ordinary. Larry Ferris led all 25 laps and crossed the finish line first. But Ferris didn't make it to victory lane after his car failed to make minimum weight post race. That elevated race runner-up Wells to his fourth Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature win of the season. Wells, of Aurora, earned the $1,000 first prize with his 98th victory in his No. 98 2006 TNT chassis that he calls "Old Faithful." The Late Models also collected bonus money in the heat races ($100 for first, $75 for second, $50 third and $25 fourth) thanks to sponsors Wosoba Trucking & Seed, Reed Environmental and Dirt Track Specialist. Other winners on Saturday night in Vietti Marketing Group Night at the Races for the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series were Andy Bryant (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B Mods), Tad Davis (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds) and James McMillin (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). It was an unusual and eventful victory, to say the least, for Wells. He recovered from an early race spin, the result of a lap-four skirmish with Ferris as they battled for the lead. It left Wells restarting in 12th place. "I didn't think I'd get a chance to get back that close," Wells said. "I was happy with second, I guess, but I just hate a tore-up race car. I'm just happy for these guys who work hard on the race car. And this crowd is awesome tonight." Wells used the term "karma" afterward and said it was the second straight outing that he took issue with Ferris. "He's took us out two weeks in a row. There's no sense in it," Wells said. "Stuff happens. This is what he deserves." Ferris started second and Wells fourth and they were running 1-2 by the end of the first lap. Wells was challenging Ferris for the lead on the inside coming to the end of lap four when Wells spun into the infield to bring out a caution. Ferris opened a 1.7-second lead over Dustin Walker as action resumed with third-place JC Morton about 2.5 seconds behind Walker. But Ferris' lead was wiped out with a caution for a couple of spinning cars on lap 13. The yellow also was timely for Wells, who had rallied to sixth but was still a half-lap behind Ferris. Wells moved into fourth by lap 15, but Ferris had clear sailing out front and was two seconds ahead of the field when another caution flew on lap 17. Wells moved into third after the restart as Morton pulled onto to the rear end of Ferris' car. Ferris held onto the lead, but Wells drove past Morton and into second on lap 20, 1.1 seconds behind the leader. Ferris was able to hold on from there by a 1.4-second as the checkers flew - but after multiple tries he did not make required weight at the scales. Morton finished second with Bryon Allison third, Walker fourth and Joe Walkenhorst fifth. Bryant claims USRA B-Mod win: Andy Bryant of Fort Scott, Kan., took the lead midway through the 20-lap Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature and went on to hold off Lucas Oil Speedway division points leader Bobby Williams. Bryant claimed his first victory of the season at Wheatland, beating Williams by 1.8 seconds at the finish. "It's been too long," Bryant said of his return to victory lane. "I have to thank my crew and my dad for giving me one hell of a hot rod. I want to thank all my sponsors. They all do so much for me and this car wouldn't be nearly as competitive without them." Williams and Bryant started on the front row and Williams grabbed the lead at the start. He opened up a one-second margin over Bryant by lap six as the leaders caught up to lapped traffic, with Ryan Gillmore close behind in third. Bryant was able to edge past Williams on the low side in turns three and four, in the midst of the traffic, to take over the lead on lap 10. Just one second separated the top three through lap 15 as the race continued without a caution. By lap 17, Bryant opened up a one-second lead over Gillmore as Williams dropped to third. He continued to stretch out the margin over the final three laps and wound up prevailing by about eight car lengths over Williams with Gillmore third. Dayton Pursley finished fourth with JC Morton fifth in a race that ran caution free and took only six minutes and seven seconds. Tad Davis wins USRA Modified feature: Tad Davis set the pace for all 20 laps to pick up his first victory of the season in the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds. Davis, of Mount Hope, Kan., held off a hard-charging Ryan Middaugh for the victory after a late restart left the outcome in some doubt. "That was a long, hard race," Davis said. "The track was very aggressive tonight. That wore me out. I'm just glad to finally get a win here. We've been trying for a long time. It just feels really good." Davis started on the pole and jumped out to an early command, leading Dylan Hoover by 1.5 seconds five laps into the 20-lapper. The lead grew to 2.6 seconds by the halfway mark with Ryan Middaugh getting around Hoover for second. With action remaining caution-free, Davis had to weave through lapped traffic to maintain his lead and Middaugh began to whittle into the margin. It was down to .601 seconds by lap 16. Davis appeared on his way to holding off Middaugh on what was to be the final lap when a caution for a stopped car brought on a caution. That set up a one-lap shootout for the win. Davis had a terrific restart and drove to the win, finishing .458 seconds in front of Middaugh with Gary Christian third, Wyatt Gaggero fourth and Jason Pursley in fifth. "I didn't want to see that last caution," Davis said. "But I had a little bit of juice left in me to finish one more lap." USRA Stock Cars win goes to McMillin: James McMillin of Warrensburg cruised to nearly a half-lap victory in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Modifieds for his first Lucas Oil Speedway win of the season. "I was hooked up on the bottom and I just stayed there," McMillin said after he finished nearly seven seconds in front of runner-up Mason Beck. Third-starting McMillin led through the early going and sported a 2.1-second lead over Christopher Sawyer when the caution flag flew on lap four. McMillin once again opened a big league after the restart as a cluster of five cars battled for second, three seconds behind him. Taking advantage of an extended green-flag run, McMillin continued to pour it on and was 5.6 seconds clear of Mason Beck by lap 14. As the laps clicked by, McMillin found himself all alone with his margin 6.9 seconds over Beck with Rob White third, Rodney Schweizer fourth and Waylon Dimmitt fifth. Johnny Fennewald of Appleton City, the winner of the previous USRA Stock Cars feature two weeks ago, took a wild, tumbling ride into turn three on lap two. His car settled, wheels-up, leaning against the catch fence - but Fennewald walked away from the accident. Action was halted for about 20 minutes during the red flag to remove Fennewald's torn-up car.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: After early season off-track misfortune, Middaugh on a roll in USRA Modifieds

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 11, 2023) - Considering where Ryan Middaugh and his team were in the pre-dawn hours of March 18th - on the side of the highway in central Missouri, their truck and trailer totaled - things are going amazing well on the track so far in the 2023 racing season. It was on the drive home to Fulton after a disappointing night at Tulsa Speedway when a strong wind gust sent the vehicles off the road and into a ditch, jolting the occupants but amazingly not injuring anyone. The truck and trailer were not as fortunate, declared as totaled. Tires, tools and other equipment were strewn inside the trailer with the USRA Modified, already dinged from the race a few hours prior. "It beat the car to heck," Middaugh said. "Fortunately we had some good friends come down and pick up the car. I figured our season was gonna be way behind after that, but we pushed ahead and got the car fixed that week and borrowed a trailer and we were at Wheatland that next Saturday." One feature win and three top-five finishes later, Middaugh leads Lucas Oil Speedway's Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified points. Including three feature wins at his hometown Callaway Speedway, he's also atop the most-recent USRA Modified National standings. Middaugh will be looking to protect his Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified lead on Saturday night as the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series resumes. Gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. While he's ready to put the highway accident in the rear-view mirror, Middaugh's ability to overcome the adversity has been impressive. He had to borrow trailers to make it to the track as insurance claims were sorted out before purchasing a new toter and trailer. "I've not been home a lot since, trying to get everything sorted back out," Middaugh said. "My family has been super understanding. We persevered and kept pushing through it." And in the bigger overall picture, he's simply thankful no one was hurt in the accident, which occurred around 4 a.m. as the group traveled through the Lake of the Ozarks area. "Dad, my crew guy Randy and his wife were sleeping in the back on couches," Middaugh said. "They wound up on the floor. We got some pretty good air time hitting that ditch. It ripped back door of the trailer off. Fortunately everybody was OK." Middaugh gave shout-outs to Jordan Martin, his cousin and a B-Mod racer, along with former B-Mod competitor Jason Watson for loaning his trailers to get him through a one-month period before he located a trailer. Just before his April 22 victory at Wheatland, he made a trip to West Virginia for a replacement truck. Now he's looking for normalcy, the chance to focus solely on winning races and perhaps chasing down his first Lucas Oil Speedway track championship. "We'll keep plugging away, taking it race by race," Middaugh said. "If you start points racing, you're not gonna be at your full potential. We're just gonna go out and try to win every race and ultimately put ourselves in position. A championship at Lucas is one of our goals. We have several good guys we're going up against. Hopefully we can be there at the end." Middaugh takes a 13-point lead over two-time Lucas Oil Speedway track champion Robbie Reed into Saturday's action. Hermitage Lumber Late Model drivers will shoot for a $1,000 first prize in a 25-lap feature to headline Saturday night's action. They'll also run for bonus money in the heat races ($100 for first, $75 for second, $50 third and $25 fourth) thanks to sponsors Wosoba Trucking & Seed, Reed Environmental and Dirt Track Specialist. Round 5 of the Weekly Racing Series is Vietti Marketing Group Night at the Races and all Mothers will be admitted free to celebrate Mother's Day Weekend.

  Denney earns Midget win as Johnson, Covington take Sprint features at Lucas Oil Speedway's Open Wheel Showdown

  WHEATLAND, MO. (May 6, 2023) - Jacob Denney led all 25 laps and, after getting green-flag conditions over the final 12 laps, dominated for the POWRi National and West Midget League feature win Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Also picking up feature wins at the 12th annual Impact Signs Awnings Wraps Open Wheel Showdown were Chase Johnson (POWRi WAR Sprints) and Matt Covington (ASCS Sooner and Region Regions). Denney, of Galloway, Ohio, picked up his first career POWRi National Midget League feature triumph. It was worth $4,000 for the 18-year-old driver. "It feels amazing," Denney said in victory lane. "I feel like I lost one on my own last night with a mental mistake on my part. I was gonna do everything in my power to get these guys a win. They deserve it. They give me a great piece every time it hits the track "I thank to thank the good Lord up above for keeping me safe and allowing me to have such a good life." Denney took the lead at the drop of the green from his front-row starting position with Daniel Adler settled into second after starting inside row two. Denney held a 1.1-second lead when the first caution flew on lap four. Only one lap was completed after the restart before another caution slowed the action, with Denney and Adler still 1-2. On the ensuing restart, seventh-starting Chase Johnson drove into second as Adler slipped back. Denney opened a 1.7-second lead as the battle for second took place behind him, but a lap-nine caution wiped out his cushion. Two more cautions followed over the next two laps as the front two remained unchanged with Jake Andreotti moving into third and Corbin Rueschenberg in fourth. Finally getting a lengthy green-flag run, Denney rolled to a 3.3-second command by lap 18 over Johnson, who has nearly a straightaway behind the leader. Denney poured it on from there. He said he kept looking at the video board in turn three as he went down the backstretch, but rarely saw himself. "I figured since I wasn't on the big screen, I must have had a pretty good lead," Denney said. "I wasn't trying to look at the laps or count them down, but at 20 I said all right, don't jump the cushion or don't get tight, you'll be all right." Denney rolled to a 5.04-second victory over Johnson as the checkers flew. "It was a good time. I just wish we could have been one more spot higher on the podium, but running second is pretty awesome," Johnson said. "It's awesome to be here at Lucas Oil Speedway." Andreotti finished third with Karter Sarff rallying from 16th to finish fourth and Rueschenberg was fifth. Johnson wins POWRi WAR Sprints thriller: Chase Johnson of Penngrove, Calif., wrestled the lead away from Jack Wagner with four laps remaining and emerged from a thrilling finish to claim the POWRi WAR Sprint feature. Johnson, 26, won by .233 of a second, or about a car length, to earn his first career POWRi WAR feature win. "It's pretty awesome to do this. It was awesome rolling around and seeing the fans get into this," said Johnson, who flew to Missouri and made it to Lucas Oil Speedway just in time to race. He was subbing for Riley Kreisel, who had a hard wreck on Friday night in a series race at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex. "To run for the Kreisel family is awesome and to be able to help him out with the car. I know this is their hometown place and hometown fans. Hopefully all of them were rooting us on," Johnson said. In a match of front-row starters, Johnson took over the early lead with Wagner in second. They were separated by just over one second, with Xavier Doney running third, as the first caution appeared on lap four. Wagner capitalized on the restart to slide his way into the lead in turn four. Wagner, who went from last-to-first to win his heat in impressive fashion, couldn't pull away from Johnson. He was in front by a couple of car lengths when Blake Bowers lost a wheel to bring out a lap-10 caution. Wagner got the advantage over Johnson on the restart and on lap 14 third-place Wesley Smith pulled off with a mechanical issue. Wagner and Johnson battled up front with Doney nearly four seconds behind by lap 18. Johnson closed onto the rear of the leader on lap 20, pulling alongside in turn two but was unable to get past. But Johnson was able to battle his way to the lead on the backstretch of lap 21. It was Johnson's race the rest of the way as he held off Wagner by a car length after the duo exchanged slide jobs in turns three and four of the final lap. Johnson had a bobble with two laps left that allowed Wagner to close the gap and make a last-lap run. "I almost felt like the left rear went flat, but apparently it didn't," Johnson said. "It made for one heck of a show those last couple of laps. I didn't think we were gonna be able to hang on, but here we are." Doney finished 4.86 seconds behind the winner in third with Kory Schudy capturing fourth and Anthony Nicholson fifth. Covington wins ASCS Sooner and Warior feature: Matt Covington of Glenpool, Okla., led all 25 laps in a hard-earned ASCS Sooner Region/Warrior Region feature victory. Covington, 33, never was able to establish a comfortable lead but was able to hold off all challenges from Morton as the race remained under green the final 15 laps. It was Covington's second straight Warrior Region feature win. It represented a breakthrough as it was Covington's first victory at Lucas Oil Speedway after several near-misses over the years. "I love this place," Covington said. "There's been some driver error and some unlucky racing things happen. Probably more my fault than not. It feels good to get the win here. It's one of the places that I've been wanting to knock off the bucket list. "Two Warrior Region wins in a row for us. We kind of struggled out of the game on the national tour and thought we'd keep racing, trying to get some speed, and so far I think we have." Covington rolled from his pole-starting position to a 1.5-second lead over Chance Morton just three laps into the feature when action was slowed by the race's first caution for a spinning car in turn three. Two more cautions followed over the next two laps, the second when third-place Slater Helt drifted too high and hit the turn four wall to end his night. Covington led by .686 seconds when another caution, on lap 10, bunched the field with Morton and Roger Crockett behind him. Finally getting a consistent green-flag run, Covington was unable to get breathing room and Morton closed within three car lengths by lap 18. By lap 20, Morton with within .282 seconds but was unable to get any closer. Covington held on to beat Moore by .342 seconds at the finish. Crockett captured third with Chase Porter fourth and Brandon Anderson finishing fifth.

  Johnson captures USRA Modified win in Lucas Oil Speedway spotlight feature as Wells, Fennewald, Gillmore also prevail

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 29, 2023) - Matt Johnson led the final six laps to outlast Jason Pursley and capture the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature Saturday night in the headliner of Lucas Oil Speedway's Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series program. Johnson, of Archie, took home $1,000 with his first feature victory of the season in an eventful main event that saw the winner lose the lead late - but get it back thanks to a timely caution. Other feature winners in the action Presented by KCTV-5 in Kansas City were Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber Late Models), Johnny Fennewald (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars) and Ryan Gillmore (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods). Pursley paced the opening 19 laps of the USRA Modified feature before Johnson took his first lead of the race on lap 20. But as Johnson drifted high in turn two on lap 23, Pursley reclaimed the lead. However, a spinning car well behind the leaders brought out a caution before the lap was officially recorded and the running order for the restart reverted to the previous lap. "Hats off to Jason. He's a hell of a racer," Johnson said in victory lane. "I was having some fun with him until I stepped on (myself) a few times, but I'll take it on a technicality. Luck fell our way for once." Pursley set the pace from his outside front-row starting position with Johnson advancing from seventh into second by lap three. Those two hit lapped traffic by circuit 10 and Pursley was able to fend off the challenger and had a half-second lead when the first caution appeared on lap 13. Two green-flag laps went into the books after the restart, before another caution waved on lap 15. Pursley continued to lead Johnson with Mike Hansen, who started 13th, working his way into third with sixth-starting Trevor Hughes in fourth. Hansen had a terrific restart and moved alongside Pursley to challenge for the lead but the action was slowed again after just one lap as a spinning car brought out the race's third yellow flag. Johnson used a slider in turns three and four to pass Pursley for his first lead on lap 20. But Johnson got into the loose stuff in the cushion going into turn two on lap 23 with Pursley taking advantage. Seconds later, a caution flew allowing Johnson to go back to the front. The three-lap shootout saw Johnson drive mistake-free as he pulled away and won by 1.25 seconds, or about eight car lengths over Pursley. Hansen was third, Dylan Hoover fourth and Robbie Reed finished fifth. "The track was great for the feature," Johnson said. "We're just glad to be making some headway on this car and we're looking forward to the rest of the year." Wells wins big in Late Models: Justin Wells of Aurora recovered from adversity on the opening lap and went on to win his third Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature of the season. It was his 97th career victory in "Old Faithful," his No. 98 2006 model TNT race car. Wells earned $1,000, including bonus money from including bonus money from sponsors Wosoba Seed & Trucking, Reed Environmental and Dirt Track Specialist. "All these guys standing down here work every week and the guys back at the shop, they worked hard over the winter and it shows what we're doing here," Wells said as his crew gathered around him in victory lane. "The track was awesome. There were two grooves. It was a little wet to start the night, but it makes for exciting racing." Wells and Bryon Allison wound up sideways and stopped on the front stretch after contact from a third car on lap one. It didn't take Wells long to rally from restarting seventh. Larry Ferris took the lead away from early pacesetter Joe Walkenhorst on lap two with Wells moving into second. By the end of lap four, Wells sailed around Ferris on the top side for the lead. Wells opened a 2.1-second lead over Ferris by lap 10 with third-running Larry Jones another seven seconds behind. The race ran caution-free after the initial caution at the start. Wells cruised to the checkers 3.7 seconds ahead of Ferris. Kyle Graves was third with Allison fourth and Walkenhorst coming home in fifth. Fennwald claims USRA Stock Cars thriller: With the top four finishers separated by less the three-quarters of a second, Johnny Fennewald of Appleton City emerged as the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars winner. Fennewald beat William Garner, who tried to make a winning pass on the inside out of turn four on the final lap, by a half-car-length to earn his first victory of the season. "The bottom was really good it looked like for Garner and I (went low) once and about screwed up," Fennewald said. "I got back up there on top where I belonged." Fennewald started fourth and needed only two laps to move into the lead, going around the pole-starting Doug Keller on the outside of turn four. Riding the high groove, Fennewald continued to hold off Keller, until Garner claimed the runner-up spot on lap 10. Garner took up chase of the leader using the inside line and challenged Fennewald over the next several laps, unable to make the pass. A lap-15 caution set up a single-file restart with Keller, Rob White and Kris Jackson following the top two. White forced his way into the fight for the win on lap 18, pulling to the inside of Garner. But it was Fennewald, holding of a turn-four bid from Garner on the final lap, getting the win by .254 of a second. Waylon Dimmitt wound up third with White fourth, the foursome at the front separated by by .069 of a second. James McMillin was fifth. USRA B-Mods feature goes to Gillmore: Ryan Gillmore made it back-to-back feature wins in the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod division, leading the final 19 laps and holding off Kyle Slader by .0844 seconds. Gillmore wasted little time getting to the front from his second-row starting position, going into the lead on lap two. By the halfway mark of the 20-lapper, he held a 1.7-second margin over Slader with Brian Bolin in third. As Gillmore hugged the love groove through the corners, Slader went to the high side to try and run him down and cut the gap to one-second with five laps remaining as both navigated lapped traffic. Gillmore was up to the challenge, posting his second straight victory at Lucas Oil Speedway. Slader finished about five car lengths behind with Bolin in third, JC Newell fourth and Bobby Williams fifth. "I kept watching the (video) board and I saw Slader early get behind me and I just knew any minute that he was going to creep in on me," Gillmore said. After about 15 runner-up feature finishes at Lucas Oil Speedway, Gillmore had two weekly wins in 2022 plus a USRA B-Mod Nationals triumph. He now seems to have hit his stride at the track this spring. "I have a love-hate relationship with this place," Gillmore said. "Some nights I go home and have no idea what to do and some nights I can't wait to come back. Tonight's one of those nights. I can't wait to come back."

  Beck grabs USRA Stock Cars victory in Lucas Oil Speedway spotlight feature as Middaugh, Gillmore and Ferris also win

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 22, 2023) - Mason Beck led all 25 laps in a caution-free O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars main event Saturday night, capturing the headline feature at Lucas Oil Speedway. The 19-year-old Beck, of Urbana, earned $750 for his first victory of the season as he finished a comfortable margin in front of runner-up Dean Wille. Other features winners on the Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series program Presented by Thunderburst Media included Ryan Middaugh (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds), Ryan Gillmore (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Larry Ferris (Hermitage Lumber Late Models). The four features all ran caution-free on a night that action began two hours early due to cool and windy conditions. Beck rolled to the lead on lap one from his second-row starting position. He led by 2.2 seconds over Colton Bourland by lap five as Bourland advanced from seventh at the start. "We've been kind of having some bad luck with the redraw this season," Beck said. "Last week we started third and didn't have a very good car. This week, we tried some stuff that my dad wanted to do and he was right. I'm gonna have to give that to him." Beck's lead grew to nearly three seconds by lap 10 as Dean Wille moved into second with Doug Keller third as Bourland fell back to fourth. As action remained green, Beck continued to build his lead and it was 4.1 seconds concluding lap 20. All he had to do the rest of the way was to avoid mistakes and that he did. Beck prevailed by 4.02 seconds over Wille with Keller finishing third, William Garner fourth and two-time feature winner Robert White fifth. "All thanks goes to Sniper Speed and Kris Jackson," Beck said, adding that he enjoyed the drying track conditions. "I figured if we had more tracks like this, I'd do a lot more winning. I'm not very good at the tacky stuff. I'm a better dry-slick racer, but we finally got her done this year and got a win." Middaugh cruises in USRA Modifieds: Ryan Middaugh of Fulton grabbed the lead early and went on to post a comfortable victory in the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature. Middaugh started fourth and grabbed the top spot on lap two away from pole-starting Mickey Burrell. By lap five, Middaugh already had a two-second margin with Burrell and Jason Pursley following. Dylan Hoover advanced into the runner-up spot on lap eight before Pursley grabbed second the next time around. Meanwhile, Middaugh was cruising by himself up front, 2.8 seconds over his pursuers at the midpoint. As the race ran all 20 laps under the green flag, Middaugh continued to pull away for his first win of the season at Lucas Oil Speedway after one victory in 2022. He finished 3.8 seconds in front of Hoover with Pursley third, Robbie Reed fourth and Burrell finishing fifth. "We've been working on it and working on it. Man, we really needed this one," Middaugh said. "We got one at Callaway a couple of weeks ago, but we've had a really rough start to the year. We totaled our truck and trailer the first night and tore the car all to heck. "Thanks to my dad Randy for sticking behind us for sticking behind us. My wife, my daughter, my step-mom and just all of our partners. We finally found a used trailer and got it. I went to West Virginia on Thursday and picked up a new truck. It's been really hectic. We haven't been 100 percent prepared, but we're almost there now." Gillmore earns B-Mod feature win: Ryan Gillmore of Springfield grabbed the lead away from Jason Pursley just before the halfway mark and went on to capture his first Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod win of the season. JC Newell led lap one with fellow front-row starter Pursley edging him at the start-finish line to lead lap two. Pursley continued to set the pace over the next several laps, but Gillmore was closing in and applying pressure as he worked the bottom groove. Gillmore was able to maneuver past Pursley for the lead, coming out of turn four on lap nine. He pulled away from there to open a 2.1-second lead by lap 13 as he encountered lapped traffic. Once he got around the two slower cars, Gillmore took it home in the caution-free 20-lapper to beat Pursley by 2.8 seconds. Ferris rolls in Late Model feature: Reigning track champion Larry Ferris of Nevada scored his first Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature victory of the season, dominating all 20 laps. He beat runner-up Justin Wells by 6.4 seconds. Ferris earned $1,000 for the win, including bonus money from sponsors Wosoba Seed & Trucking, Reed Environmental and Dirt Track Specialist. "I just want to thank Daniel Wosoba and Bryan Larimore for the added money. That makes a big difference and it really helps get the cars in," Ferris said.. Ferris started on the outside of row one and he roared away for the early lead, distancing himself from Larry Jones by 2.5 seconds after just five laps with Bryon Allison running third. Wells, winner of the two previous Late Model features this season, advanced from sixth to third but as he dueled with Jones, Ferris kept pulling away. His margin was 4.1 second by lap 10. The only thing that might give anyone else a chance would have been a caution flag and it never came. Ferris' command was seven seconds over Wells by lap 17 and he completed the mission with a full straightaway's margin. "Finally," Ferris said of regaining his championship form of 2022, when he won four times. "The car's always been good. I just haven't been very good yet." Wells finished second with Jones third, Allison fourth and Joe Walkenhorst fifth.

  Arenz charges to top-five IRA showing at Beaver Dam Raceway

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 20, 2023 - While the "R" after his name on the 2023 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series full-time driver roster might indicate otherwise, Travis Arenz looked like anything but a rookie, storming from his 15th starting spot to claim a fifth place showing behind the wheel of the 25T Travis Arenz Motorsports machine in the 30-lap IRA Jim Wipperfurth Memorial A main Saturday, April 15 at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis. After falling short of making the A-main starting lineup during both nights of the 2023 season opening IRA-Midwest Open Wheel Association (MOWA) Morning Sun Farm Implement 410 Clash doubleheader weekend at 34 Raceway in his debut at the West Burlington, Iowa facility on April 7-8, Arenz returned to much more familiar footing for the third IRA event of the 2023 campaign at a track where he has visited victory lane in Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car competition and the results definitely showed. Arenz opened the night by turning in the 17th fastest qualifying time in the 25-car field with a lap of 12.606 seconds around the high-banked third-mile clay oval. After lining up sixth in the second eight-lap IRA heat race, Arenz wasted no time in working the high groove to maneuver around Jereme Schroeder and Austin Hartmann to take over fourth in the running order exiting turn two on the opening lap. The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver then held on to the fourth spot the rest of the way. Following an incident involving Tim Haddy and Jereme Schroeder on the initial start, Arenz rolled off from the 15th starting position in the 30-lap IRA main event and used a nifty move on lap four to bolt past both Todd King and Jack Vanderboom. After a caution for William Huck on lap 5, Arenz restarted 11th before passing Mike Reinke for 10th on lap 6 and Josh Schneiderman to seize ninth two laps later. Following another caution for a spin involving Russel Borland on lap 9, the 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion restarted eighth and put together three consecutive flawless laps using multiple grooves of the well-manicured racing surface to slip past IRA front runners Scotty Neitzel, Danny Schlafer and Jake Blackhurst and grab fifth on lap 12. Arenz held strong over the final 18 non-stop laps to secure a fifth place showing behind Blake Nimee (fourth), Brenham Crouch (third), Tim Estenson (second) and race winner Jordan Goldesberry. "We didn't get the gearing right, unfortunately, in qualifying," Arenz said. "We even made a change after hot laps, but it definitely still wasn't enough. I have an idea now where we need to be with this motor. "I was somewhat happy with the heat race," he said. "We moved forward and turned a few good laps. Overall, I was happy with the fifth place finish in the A main for how early in the season it is. Once I get more laps in with the 410 car, I'll be aiming for top-three finishes every night." Following an off weekend, Arenz will return to Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action with a doubleheader weekend of competition at two new tracks to the Travis Arenz Motorsports team, starting at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. on Saturday, April 29 and concluding on Sunday, April 30 with the IRA's first-ever appearance at Mason City Speedway in Mason City, Iowa. "I go to each new track with the same approach, which is to try to learn it as quickly as possible and watch previous film to see how the track unfolds over a complete night of racing," Arenz said. "That will be my approach to racing at two new tracks for us, Cedar Lake Speedway and Mason City Speedway, during our next weekend of racing with the IRA." Pit gates open at 3 p.m. and spectator gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6 p.m. for the Spring Open Wheel Spectacular at Cedar Lake Speedway, which also features Traditional Sprint Cars, Winged Limited Sprint Cars and 600cc Winged Micro Sprints. Pits open at 3 p.m. with spectator gates opening at 4 p.m., hot laps at 5 p.m. and racing scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. for the IRA's inaugural event at Mason City Speedway, which also features USRA Stock Cars, USRA B Mods, USRA Hobby Stocks and Outlaw Mini Mods.

  Mechanical misfortune spoils Hartmann's IRA Beaver Dam Raceway effort

  (PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 19, 2023 - A promising start to the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series Jim Wipperfurth Memorial ended in disappointment for Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team as a mechanical malfunction brought the evening to an early conclusion prior to the drop of the green flag in the 30-lap main event at Beaver Dam Raceway on Saturday, April 15. Hartmann came out of the gate strong to click off the fifth fastest qualifying lap in the 25-car field with a lap of 12.046 seconds around the high-banked third-mile clay oval. After the fourth-year Sprint Car competitor started third in the second eight-lap IRA heat race, he fell back to fifth on the opening lap as Brenham Crouch and Travis Arenz bolted past. Hartmann then maintained fifth in the running order for the remainder of the eight-lap heat race. Hartmann drew the third starting spot in the second four-lap IRA dash and wound up fifth to claim the 10th starting spot in the 30-lap A-main event. However, Hartmann did not turn another competitive lap for the remainder of the program. Shortly after pushing off for the 30-lap A main, a broken component in the driveline of the 87A Hartmann Racing machine forced Hartmann to leave the track and retire to the pit area for the remainder of the event. He was listed 22nd in the final race rundown. "We made a few changes over the week to the car, and the car felt great in hot laps and in qualifying," Hartmann said. "In the heat race, I got a bad start, but I knew I had to finish in the top five to make the dash, which we did. In the dash, I played around testing the car in different grooves of the track. While firing the car for the A main, the four studs holding the sliding collar over the torque tube ripped out. We don't know the cause of that issue, but it ended our night early." Following an off weekend, Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team will resume Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action with a doubleheader weekend of competition starting at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. on Saturday, April 29 and concluding on Sunday, April 30 at with the IRA's first-ever appearance at Mason City Speedway in Mason City, Iowa. "We will get the car fixed up for the next weekend of racing with the IRA on April 29 and 30," Hartmann said. "I am super excited to get back to Cedar Lake Speedway with the success we had there last year in winning the B main at the Jerry Richert Memorial event. I will watch some film and study Mason City Speedway to get ready for the IRA's first race at that track." Pit gates open at 3 p.m. and spectator gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6 p.m. for the Spring Open Wheel Spectacular at Cedar Lake Speedway, which also features Traditional Sprint Cars, Winged Limited Sprint Cars and 600cc Winged Micro Sprints.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: James Ellis enjoying his racing return in competitive USRA Stock Car class

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 19, 2023) - James Ellis is looking for a little more speed. Even a tenth of a second can make a big difference when it comes to the highly competitive O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars division at Lucas Oil Speedway. "These cars are tough. They're so close to each other in speed," Ellis said. "There's like six or seven of us running a Mid-State engine. I used to race the old style Street Stocks and there was a lot of separation. These things … you can be running 15th and only be running a couple of tenths of a second slower than the guy winning the race." Ellis continues his quest for speed on Saturday when the USRA Stock Cars are the featured class as Lucas Oil Speedway's Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series resumes. The Stock Cars will run a special 25-lap, $750-to-win feature in the program Presented by Thunderburst Media. Ellis, a 47-year-old from Richland, is off to a solid start in 2023 with a pair of third-place feature-race finishes in four outings. He's fourth in Stock Cars points, 79 behind Rob White, after finding himself in a hole following an opening-night issue with his transmission. The brother of Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod competitor Jerry Ellis said he had hoped for better results after feeling his car was dialed in after last fall's Summit USRA Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway. "We thought we had my car pretty good at (USRA) nationals last year," Ellis said. "It was the best it was all year, really. I tried it the first race and everybody has gotten faster since last year. It wasn't as good as I thought it was." Even so, Ellis said he's having fun with the close competition in the Stock Car division after previously running Street Stocks. He's known several of his chief rivals, having grown up around Rob White and David Hendrix, among others. "I bought my first race car in 2005 and I raced it just a few times that year," Ellis said. "In 2006 I won the championship at Midway Speedway, then raced again in 2007. I quit racing then and didn't race again until last year." Not that he was far away from the sport. James often went to the track with brother Jerry and helped him. Then when Lucas Oil Speedway announced it was affiliating with USRA and running Stock Cars beginning in 2022, it seemed like the right time for James to go racing again. "This Stock Car deal seemed like a good deal and I got one of them," Ellis said. "It's been a lot of fun. I just wish I was doing better than I was." Ellis said his goal this season is a top-five finish in Lucas Oil Speedway points. He would love to win a feature, but knows it won't be easy. "I was telling Rob (White) at the tech shed last week - he and Mason (Beck) got way out ahead and there was no catching them - that you've got to find that tenth of a second and go from there. Rob has been tough. He helps me a little bit and I try to pick his brain a little bit, but he's not giving up a lot of information right now. Nobody is, really." Sponsors on Ellis' No. 83 Stock Car include Ellis Construction, Ellis Coatings, Tri County Tire Service, High Brothers Lumber and JSR Race Chassis. Joining the USRA Stock Cars on Saturday will be the Hermitage Lumber Late Models, Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds and Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods. The Late Model winner once again will take home $1,000 with heat-race bonus cash ($100, $75, $50, $25 for the top four) also available due to sponsors Wosoba Seed & Trucking, Reed Environmental and Dirt Track Specialist.

  Newell leads all the way to win USRA B-Mod headline feature at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 15, 2023) - After mechanical issues while leading dashed his hopes for a season-opening victory at Lucas Oil Speedway last month, nothing stood in JC Newell's path to victory lane Saturday night. Newell led all 25 laps and handled restarts after four cautions to earn the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win. It was his first at Lucas Oil Speedway since the 2021 season. "It was a long night to lead for all 25 laps. Every caution had my nervous," Newell said. "But it was a really good night." Newell, of Buffalo, picked up $750 for the victory, which headlined Round 2 of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series Presented by Townsquare Media & KIX 105.7. Other feature winners on the program included Rob White (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars), Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber Late Models) and Dillon McCowan (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds). Newell and Zimmerman started on the front row and Newell grabbed the early lead with Zimmerman, Casey Thomas and Dustin Atkinson following. That's how they ran through nine laps and caught lapped traffic. A lap later, caution flew for the first time for a call stalled in the exit opening to the pits. Newell's lead with six-tenths of a second over Zimmerman at the time with Thomas, JC Morton and Mitchell Franklin rounding out the top five with 15 laps remaining. With a clear track ahead of him for the restart, Newell was able to open a 1.3-second lead by lap 14, when the event's second yellow flag slowed the action. Franklin moved to second after the restart and was challenging Newell for the lead when a four-car pileup in turn one brought out another caution. Newell cruised from there as the race ran caution-free the rest of the way. He prevailed by just under one second (.957) over Franklin with Atkinson finishing third, Morton fourth and Bobby Williams fifth. It also was Newell's first win in his Allen Autosports B-Mod, which he debuted last month. He said his father-in-law and car builder, Scotty Allen, helped with final prep on Saturday morning. "It was a rocket ship tonight; I probably didn't do a very good job of driving it those last five laps," Newell said. "But it was really good and our Ruble Racing Engine really shined tonight." White wins another USRA Stock Cars feature: Rob White of Lebanon led all 20 laps to earn his second straight O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win. White blasted away from his starting spot on the pole and needed only three laps to open a 3.1-second lead over fourth-starting James Ellis. Mason Beck moved into second position on lap six, but trailed the leader by 5.2 seconds at that point. Beck was able to whittle the margin down to 3.6 seconds by lap 14 while himself opening a similar gap over third-running William Garner. White's lead was down to 2.6 seconds by lap 16 when the race's long caution waved, setting up a four-lap shootout for the win. Beck pulled alongside on the first lap after racing resumed, but was unable to get by. White held him off the rest of the way, winning by a car length. Ellis finished third with Christopher Sawyer fourth and Zack Willis coming home in fifth. Wells scores another Late Model win: Justin Wells made it two-for-two this season in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model division, leading all 20 laps. The veteran driver from Aurora outdistanced runner-up JC Morton by 9.2 seconds or just over half a lap. It was win No. 96 in his No. 98, a 2006 TNT Late Model that Wells calls "Old Faithful." He earned $1,000 for the win, including bonus money from sponsors Wosoba Seed & Trucking, Reed Environmental and Dirt Track Specialist. "This car was flawless all night," Wells said. "I was a little worried about the weather today and about the track, but my goodness ... the track was awesome." The race had a rough first portion with three cautions and one red flag before four laps were completed. The red came on lap two after a three-car accident in turn one resulting in John Rowland's car landing on its roof. Rowland was not injured, but his car was done for the night. Action was slowed again after lap two when Dowell's car slowed on the backstretch and suddenly crossed toward the infield, leaving Tucker Cox nowhere to go and Cox plowed into the side of Dowell's car in a hard hit. Behind Morton, who advanced from ninth at the start, was Joe Walkenhorst in third, Tommy Cordray in fourth and Bryan Allison fifth. McCowan claims USRA Modifieds feature: Dillon McCowan of Urbana wasted little time moving from his fifth starting position, advancing to the front by lap five and going on to capture the 20-lap Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified win. McCowan is the two-time reigning track champ in the division, but is chasing Lucas Oil MLRA Late Model Rookie of the Year honors in 2023. This was his first USRA Modified action of the season at his home track. "I'd like to thank my entire family and all my sponsors and everybody who helps us get up and down the road," McCowan said. "We came from Iowa last night and this morning. It was a long haul. We got here with maybe two minutes to spare to get checked in." McCowan roared past early pace-setter Matt Johnson on the inside going into turn two and didn't look back. He opened a four-second lead by the halfway mark and was on his way to a lopsided final margin when a lap-14 caution wiped out his margin. Ryan Middaugh got around Johnson on the restart, but McCowan quickly opened up a comfortable margin as the final six laps remained green. Driving a new Bloodline Race Car, he finished 2.6 seconds in front of Middaugh with Johnson third, Nic Bidinger fourth and Paden Phillips fifth. "I want to say a special thanks to Cole Stansberry and Terry Phillips for putting me in this car and giving me this chance," McCowan said. "This car is absolutely amazing. It's one of the best-handling A Mods I've ever drove."

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: After fast-but-frustrating season debut, JC Newell looks for USRA B-Mod success

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 13, 2023) - Opening night at Lucas Oil Speedway was the ultimate good news/bad news outcome for JC Newell in the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod division. Debuting a new Allen Autosports car - without so much as a lap of practice - the 26-year-old from Buffalo didn't know what to expect when he unloaded back on March 25th. "I was pretty nervous going into that weekend," Newell said. "It was the first time I'd taken a new car out like that, with no practice. I was surprised for it to be as quick as it was." Newell led the first 11 laps in the feature and had a 1.5-second command when he suddenly slowed and pulled to the infield. What appeared to be a victory with his grasp disappeared in a blink. "A maintenance issue on my end kind of cost us," Newell said, noting a throttle linkage fell off the carburetor. "We were just excited to come right out of the box with the speed we had the first night, but definitely upset because we felt we gave one away. But we'd rather break leading than running 10th or something." Newell looks forward to getting into a regular racing rhythm, beginning with Saturday night's Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series program. The Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods are the headline class, running a 25-lap feature for $750 to win. He's also looking forward to getting back to regular contention at Lucas Oil Speedway, where he was fourth in B-Mod season points in 2021 with one feature win and four other top-five finishes. Newell wound up fifth in the deep, talented B-Mod division in 2020. Last year saw a curtailed schedule after Newell and wife Lindsey welcomed son Deacon in February. Now 14 months, Deacon is enjoying his time around the track, probably destined to someday become a fourth-generation Newell racer. "We also had some problems getting some engine parts and didn't have our motor for most of the season," Newell said of 2022. "So we ran a pretty limited schedule last year." Racing definitely is a family affair. Newell's younger brother Dayton and dad Ben race Midwest Mods and his grandfather "Big JC" drove pavement cars until recent years. His father-in-law, Scotty Allen, is well known for both his driving and car-building skills. Allen, Ben Newell and "Big JC" all are members of the Ozarks Area Racers Foundation Hall of Fame. JC Newell said he's looking forward to racing with Allen some this season as Scotty gets a chance to compete in B-Mods. "Just hopefully try and win some races," JC Newell said of his goals in a new-look car that has a primary color of orange. He figured the new car was a perfect time to change up the appearance. "My dad used to race an orange car back in the day and I wanted to do something bright and different and stand out," JC said of the new look. "We had run red and white and it seemed like a lot of guys were in red and white. We just wanted to try something different." Newell's sponsors include Prime Inc., Los Hermanos Mexican Restaurant, The Butcher Shop, Royal Heating and Air, Pomme Plumbing LLC, Bite Me Hooks, Scotty's Signs & Wraps, KR Performance Fuels LLC, RACE Schock Service and Ruble Racing Engines. The Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods will headline Round Two of the Weekly Racing Series Presented by Townsquare Media and KIX 105.7 FM. The Hermitage Lumber Late Models, Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars also will be in action.

  I-35 Speedway Results 4-8-23

  One hundred eighteen (118) cars checked in for Premier Lubricants and Tompkins Industries Night at I-35 Speedway. One driver, who picked up a Rookie of the Year last season, picked up his first career win tonight with the final checkered flag flying just before 10:00 pm. We started off with the E-Mods tonight, where the 2022 Rookie of the Year, Michael Hascall, would pick up his first career feature win. It wouldn't be easy for Hascall as he would fall behind the defending track champion Casey Burnett before Burnett would have to retire from the race and would also have to hold off last week's runner-up Adam Dunwoodie. Dunwoodie would hold on for the second spot, followed by another good run from Aaron Jones finishing third. Tony Layne, in his second E-Mod race, after moving from the Midwest Lightning Sprints would finish fourth. Mark Anderson had another good run, finishing in fifth. 2022 Pure Stock track champion Ava Dixon returned to victory lane as she held off a stout field of fierce competitors. At the young age of 14, Ava Dixon is becoming a force to be reckoned with. Chet Yates returned to I-35 Speedway, battling upfront all night and finishing second. Last week's feature winner Jeffery Sears came off towards the end of the race to finish third. Jakub Hisel battled in the top three for the majority of the race before finishing fourth. Conrad Kauffman stayed steady as he started fifth and finished fifth. Houston Johnson picked up his first Midwest Limited Late Model feature win of the season, holding off the 2019 track champion Tommy Cordray in second, Harold Robb Jr in third and the 2022 track champion and last week's feature winner Ed Noll, who had to retire early from the event. In USRA B-Mod action, Shadren Turner used some outside momentum out of turn two to get past then leader Daniel Harris, and picked up his first feature win of the 2023 season. Harris would finish as the bridesmaid for the second time this season at I-35 Speedway and third time for his 2023 season. Defending track champion Tyler Cadwallader would have side by side battles through the field finishing third, followed by Jake Richards, who would battle in the top three most of the race, finishing fourth and a hard charging Henry Chambers who would gain six positions finishing fifth. In the USRA Stock Car division, Tommy Ground would visit McCarthy Auto Group Victory Lane for the first time this season. Ground would battle early with defending track champion and last week's feature winner Nic Hanes before Hanes would have to retire early from the event. Jeff Dixon would battle lap after lap with Gerald Wahwahsuck, with Dixon finishing second and Wahwahsuck in third. Kameron Hanes would battle back from an earlier spin to finish fourth, with Randy Smith Jr rounding out the top five. 'Mr. Smooth' Chad Clancy would step back behind the wheel of a USRA Modified tonight and would come home with his feature win in the Modified ranks in a couple of years. Chris Spalding worked his way up into second, challenging Clancy a few times, but would never get the run he needed and would have to settle for second place. Houston Johnson, who picked up an earlier win in the night in Late Models, would finish third, followed by Scott Bryant who had a good run in fourth and opening night feature winner Tyler Hibner in fifth. In the Sport Compact division, Alvin Cooney, who finished in the top three opening night, would pick up his first feature win of the season. Brad Mick, who spun earlier in the race, would battle back to finish second. Opening night feature winner Elijah Hoyt finished third. Chris Lewis, in his first race of the season, finished fourth. Last year's Sport Compact Rookie of the Year Jonnathon Hartman finished fifth. The Jr Sport Compact division grew by two cars this week as Eddie Noll would be the only repeat winner from a week ago, picking up his second feature win of the season. Brycen Bouzek making his first start would finish in the second position, followed by Payton Hanes with her second straight top three finish, Katelyn Fleming, Maddie Barr and Betty Wright finishing third through sixth. Congratulations to Harold Burnett on being our first fan of the week for 2023 sponsored by Miller Racing, Silkwood Family Racing and JDB Racing Videography and Design. Join us next week for Casey's General store night at I-35 Speedway where the vintage open series will make their way to the famed dirt oval for the first time this season.

  Wilson dominates, avoids trouble to win Easter Bowl Enduro 150 at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 8, 2023) - The battle of endurance belonged to Jeremy Wilson on Saturday night as the Humboldt, Kansas, driver dominated en route to the Easter Bowl Enduro 150 victory at Lucas Oil Speedway. Wilson finished nearly two laps in front of runner-up Michael Gillis of Clever with Curtis Turpin of Eldon two laps behind the winner in third. Driving a Chevy Malibu from a 21st-starting position, Wilson collected $1,500 for the win as he lead 138 of the 150 laps. One year ago in the inaugural Easter Bowl Enduro 150, Wilson came home second behind Saturday's fourth-place finisher Clay Goodman. "I was glad to one-up him this year," Wilson said in victory lane. The race started with the cars lined up three-wide and it was Kevin Perkins setting the early pace. Perkins started on the outside of row one and he led the first five laps before Jeremy Wilson became the new leader. Goodman, winner of the 2022 Easter Bowl Enduro, moved into second by lap 11, just under three seconds behind Wilson. On lap 21, Goodman went for a spin while in second place as he was tapped by a slower car. He was able to get going and maintain third place and a lap later was back in second - but 12 seconds behind Wilson. Wilson's lead grew to 13 seconds by lap 28 with Gillis third and Perkins in fourth. There were still 20 of the 28 starters running by lap 50 and Wilson's lead was down to 7.3 seconds over Goodman. Wilson's lead was suddenly gone on lap 57 when a lapped car clipped him in the rear and sent him spinning. Goodman went into the lead and it was Wilson's turn to do as Goodman did earlier - recover and pursue. Wilson settled in second pace with Goodman 6.9 seconds in front by lap 60. He soon was back in front. Goodman tangled with a slower car on lap 64 and that sent the lead back to Wilson for the race's fourth lead change. Meanwhile, Turpin moved into third, in front of Gillis, with Butch Knox in fifth. Goodman whittled into Wilson's lead, trailing by 4.6 seconds as the race hit the midway point on lap 75 with 16 cars were still on the track. On lap 80, Goodman was spun by the slower car of Dallas Butchee heading into turn one, handing Wilson with a 15-second lead. The spins took a toll on Goodman as Wilson put the runner-up a lap behind by lap 89. From there for Wilson, it was just a matter of avoiding trouble and hoping nothing would break. As the race hit the 100-lap mark, only 12 cars remained in action. Wilson led by a lap and a half over second-place Gillis with Goodman falling back to third. He pitted soon after to change a tire and by the time he returned was five laps down. Wilson pulled right behind Gillis on lap 125 and was content to ride behind his nearest competitor rather than attempt a pass that could put him two laps down. The winner avoided any mishaps or mechanical issues as the laps counted down and took the checkers by a one-lap margin over Gillis with Turpin third, two laps down. Goodman rallied after his tire change to finish fourth, four laps behind the winner, with Brandon Vink finishing fifth. "It was a lot of fun. The track was great tonight," said Wilson, who said he has a lot of people who help him out though "not so much on this car. I've got a couple of other Outlaw Enduro cars that I race as well down in Texas." The race was completed in 58 minutes, 55 seconds and did not have any red-flag stoppages. A dozen cars were still rolling at the finish. Rob White takes USRA Stock Cars feature: Rob White of Lebanon led all 25 laps to earn the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars Summit Shootout qualifying win. White started on the outside front row and blasted to a 2.3-second lead over pole-starting Dean Willie by lap six. A caution at that point bunched the field in the 25-lapper. Wille and James McMillin battled for second as White continued to lead through the mid portion of the race as the field finally settled into a consistent green-flag run after six cautions. White's lead was 1.3 seconds over Wille by lap 20, with Jeff Tennant running third and Mason Beck fourth. It was all White from there as he wound up 2.6 seconds in front of Wille at the finish. "I've got that new Mid-State Machine motor and it's a pretty good piece," White said of his ability to control the pace on each restart. Beck wound up third with Tennant fourth and William Garner fifth. White took home $1,500 and clinched a spot in the USRA Stock Cars Summit Shootout during one of the nights of the USRA Nationals, Oct. 2-7 at Lucas Oil Speedway. Key handles restarts to earn Midwest Mods win: Matthew Key of Chanute, Kansas, got in front at the start and never surrendered the lead in a caution-flag-plagued POWRi Midwest Mods feature. Key set the early pace, cruising from his third starting position to the lead by the completion of lap one. He remained up front despite an avalanche of caution flags 10 over the first 12 laps) with Tanner Kade advancing from sixth to third by lap six. Challenged with the numerous restarts, Key continued to excel on each to protect his lead as Kade and Jacob Hall battled behind him with Anthony Ferrara running fourth. That's how the running order wound up as the scheduled 20-lap race was shortened to 14 laps due to the numerous cautions. The win was Kay's third in three attempts overall this season. "That's just part of it," Key said of the cautions. "You've got to kind of count on yellows. You kind of roll with it and get it however you can get it."

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: "Weekend Warrior" Collins eager for Easter Bowl 150 Enduro

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 6, 2023) - Evan Collins is used to helping put on thrill shows for fans, as part of his job as an official with the Monster Truck Insanity Tour. This time, Collins is looking forward to being a part of the big show Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Collins, from Van Buren, Arkansas, will start on the front row of the Easter Bowl 150 Enduro at Lucas Oil Speedway. The 150-lap race is for cars that are basically street-legal with some racing modifications for safety. It's a free-for-all with bumping, banging and spins. Stoppages occur only for a red flag, if the track is blocked for a dangerous situation. "I'm there to put on a show for the people who come to watch it," Collins said. "I've been in the live entertainment industry for three or four years now. It's about the people who spend their money who come to the show and come to support Lucas Oil and us weekend warriors." The first car to endure the mayhem and make it to 150 laps wins the $1,500 first prize. Drivers will lineup in the order that entries were received and Collins is No. 2, scheduled to take the green from the middle of row one in a three-wide, standing-star format. "The best advice I can give somebody - along with myself - is to just stay out of the carnage," Collins said. "The best car is probably not going to win. A guy last year went from 33rd to 3rd, purely by attrition. It's more bob and weave for an hour and a half." Collins, 27, said he's done some dirt-track racing in the past, but has mostly stuck with Enduro and Demolition Derbies as hobbies. His best Enduro finish has been a fifth, but he won a demolition derby last fall at home hometown track in Van Buren. "But this will be by far the biggest Enduro that I've been to," he said. Collins said his job with the Monster Truck Insanity Tour involves flying into a city, laying out the track, working the show as an official and interacting with the crowd. When it's over, he said the goal is to tear everything down and "put things back to normal and leave it better than how we found it." This will be his first trip to Lucas Oil Speedway and he's gone through his 1970 Buick Century "with a fine-tooth comb" to get it prepared for the action. "We're just going up there to have fun," Collins said. Clay Goodman of Carthage came home the winner of last year's inaugural Easter Bowl 150 Enduro. Troy Mitchell, of Henley, Mo., was a distant second and Jeremy Wilson of Humboldt, Kansas, wound up third after starting 33rd. Enduro entry is $150 and entry forms can be found on the Drivers' Dashboard section of LucasOilSpeedway.com. Payout for the Enduro race will be: 1st $1,500; 2nd $800; 3rd $750; 4th $500; 5th $300, 6th $250; 7th $200; 8th $175; 9th $150 and 10th $125. The O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars will be a USRA Summit Shootout Qualifier, paying $1,500 to win and $150 to start. B-Main non-qualifiers will earn $110 and there will be a $50 entry in the division. To qualify for the Summit Shootout, which will be held in October during the week-long 10th annual Summit USRA Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway, you must be a current track champion at a Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series track or win a Summit Shootout Qualifier during the 2023 racing season. If the winner of a Summit Shootout Qualifier also is a track champion, the second-place finisher in the Qualifier will get the invite to race in the Summit Shootout. In the Midwest Mods it will be $600 to win and $110 to start with $70 going to B-Main non-qualifiers. Entry will be $25 and Midwest Mods will follow a POWRi Midwest Mod rules package. Pit gates will open at 4 p.m. with grandstands at 5, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.

  Easter Bowl Enduro 150 coming up Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway with $1,500 going to winner

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 4, 2023) - Expect a wild and entertaining time on Saturday night when Enduro racing returns to Lucas Oil Speedway for the Easter Bowl 150 Enduro. The winner will earn $1,500 in the unique format with action only slowed if the track is blocked, requiring a red flag. Drivers can check out the Enduro rules on the Lucas Oil Speedway website. The race will begin from a standing start with drivers lined up on the front straightaway three-wide. Predictably wild in the inaugural Easter Bowl 150 a year ago, the race for cars that are basically street-legal with some racing modifications for safety, was a free-for-all with bumping, banging and spins - but only one brief stoppage for a red flag. It took one hour, five minutes to complete and proved that the fastest was not necessarily the first to finish. Clay Goodman of Carthage came home the winner. Troy Mitchell, of Henley, Mo., was a distant second and Jeremy Wilson of Humboldt, Kansas, wound up third after starting 33rd. Enduro entry is $150 and entry forms can be found on the Drivers' Dashboard section of LucasOilSpeedway.com. Payout for the Enduro race will be: 2nd $800; 3rd 500; 4th $300, 5th $200, 6th $175; 7th $150; 8th $125; 9th and 10th $100. O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars will race for $1,500 to win that evening and POWRi Midwest Mods go after a $600 first prize as a special guest class.

  USRA, Lucas Oil Speedway announce sanctions, fines for competitors Jackson and White

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 3, 2023) - The United States Racing Association and Lucas Oil Speedway on Monday announced sanctions and fines for USRA B-Mod driver Kris Jackson and USRA Stock Cars driver Bryan White, for post-race behavior last Saturday night. Jackson will be fined $500, suspended from all USRA-sanctioned events for two weeks and put on a one-year probationary period. Jackson won the feature, but was penalized for his post-race comments, aired live on Flo Racing as part of a MAVTV Motorsports production. White's penalty stems from a post-race altercation with his race car striking the rear of race-winner David Hendrix and shoving it down the front stretch as safety workers were rushing to the scene. He was fined by the USRA $500, suspended for 14 days and put on a one-year probation. Lucas Oil Speedway also imposed a four-week suspension on White and a loss off all Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series points accumulated so far this season. White's speedway suspension is due to end on May 6 (barring rain outs, in which case it would be carried over an additional week). "Actions like this from both drivers will not be tolerated and are unsportsmanlike conduct that is detrimental to the sport. Actions like these cannot be tolerated," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said, noting that he and USRA President Todd Staley reviewed videos of the incidents. "I would like to apologize to the fans who had to witness these actions," Lorton added. Other drivers involved in the last-lap incidents in both the Stock Cars and B-Mod features also will be placed on probationary periods to be determined by the USRA. Both drivers' actions violated the following USRA rule involving conduct: USRA Rule Section 3: Conduct 3.1 - "Participants will conduct themselves as professionals. Any conduct or actions by a participant deemed inappropriate and/or unsportsmanlike by the USRA shall be grounds for disqualification and/or punitive action by the USRA. This will be strictly enforced." Lorton said White's incident involved using his car to put others' lives at risk, leading to the longer suspension and loss of points. Unsportsmanlike conduct: "Any driver/crew member/participant found by Lucas Oil Speedway officials to be engaging in unsportsmanlike behavior or any inappropriate behavior that affects the orderly conduct of an event, the interests of racing, or Lucas Oil Speedway will receive a penalty." Lucas Oil Speedway is back in action this Saturday with the Easter Bowl 150 Enduro. O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars and POWRi Midwest Mods also will be in action. Pit gates will open at 4 p.m. with grandstands at 5, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. Also on Saturday afternoon, due to a high interest in the inaugural MidAmerica Outdoors Side-by-Side Series event set for April 28-29 a practice day on the Off Road track will be held from noon-4 p.m. Pit gates will open at 10 a.m. with pit passes $25. That pass also will be good for admission into the Easter Bowl Enduro 150 program on the dirt track.

  I-35 Speedway Race Recap 4-1-23

  One hundred and sixteen (116) racecars checked in to I-35 Speedway for McCarthy Auto Group opening night. Fans were treated to 3 and sometimes 4 wide racing as drivers put on a thrilling night of ultra-fast competitive action. Pure Stocks were first to hit the track at feature time with Jeffery Sears finding his way back to McCarthy Auto Group victory Lane. Sears had a series of battles with drivers that included defending track champion Ava Dixon and Conrad Kauffman. In the end Sears would pull away to pick up the win. Kauffman picked up the second position, Jakub Hisel gained four positions on the night to pick up a podium finish in third, followed by Ava Dixon and Trevor Hittle. E-Mods we're next for their twelve-lap feature event. Tim Eaton picked up the win as he would motor away after every restart. Adam Dunwoodie, once he found his line would be a man on a mission as he picked up seven positions to finish second, Tim Parrott ran up front all night and came home third, Aaron Jones would battle early for the lead, finishing fourth, followed by Kenny Prince who had a good night overall. Ed Noll picked up where he left off last season. Noll, the defending track champion would roll into McCarthy Auto Group victory Lane for the first time in 2023. Houston Johnson and Tommy Cordray would have a great battle with Johnson finishing second and Cordray third, followed by Vic Lovejoy and Harold Robb Jr. The USRA B-Mods were next to hit the track and would start an almost 3 race streak of green to checker finishes. Dylan VanWyk made his first trip to I-35 Speedway a successful one, picking up the win. It wasn't an easy one for VanWyk as he had to get past I-35 Speedway veteran Daniel Harris, who led the first 3/4 of the race. VanWyk made a daring move going between two lap cars using them as a pick to get by Harris to win. Harris made it exciting at the end finishing a close second, Jace Whitt, who came into his own last season came home third, Corey Myers followed up a great 2022 season by finishing fourth and Dakota Girard finished fifth after a great battle with Kyler Girard. Another defending track champion returned to McCarthy Auto Group victory lane in the first race of 2023 with another green to checker finish. Nic Hanes said "I don't need your rocking' chair" just yet as he parked his hot rod in McCarthy Auto Group victory lane. Hanes had a great battle with Tommy Ground and Kameron Hanes, his son early on before eventually pulling away. Ground would finish second followed by the younger Hanes in third and another battle ensued with Gerald Wahwahsuck finishing fourth and Jeff Dixon fifth. In the USRA Modifieds yet another defending champion rolled his car to a win to start off the 2023 season. Tyler Hibner picked up where he left off in 2022 as he celebrated another win at I-35 Speedway. Houston Johnson made a last lap pass on Ethan Braaksma to finish second, Braaksma, would finish third in his first trip to I-35 Speedway. Lee Hibner battled up front early on, and would eventually fall to fourth, followed by a hard charging Scott Bryant in fifth. Elijah Hoyt looked bad fast as he picked up his first Sport Compact feature win at I-35 Speedway. Chris Wright found his line a little late as he would get up to finish second, Alvin Cooney made his first trip back to I-35 Speedway a successful one finishing third followed by Jonnathon Hartman and Brad Mick in fourth and fifth. This would be the inaugural race in the Jr Sport Compact division with Eddy Noll joining his dad in the McCarty Auto Group victory lane. Noll would be chased all night by Payton Hanes in second, Maddy Barr in third and Landry Cooney in fourth. Great job by all these young drivers. Join us next week for Premier Lubricants night at I-35 Speedway as we kick off the I-35 Speedway fan of the week and we see who takes their Hot Rod to McCarthy Auto Group victory Lane.

  Davenport dominates at Lucas Oil Speedway for MLRA Spring Nationals Night 2 triumph

  WHEATLAND, MO. (April 1, 2023) - Jonathan Davenport is considered the king of Late Model dirt racing these days and his dominant performance on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway did nothing to dispel that notion. Davenport, of Blairsville, Georgia, led all 40 laps in spanking the field in a caution-free 40-lap feature on Night of the 10th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Spring Nationals Presented by Arizona Sport Shirts. The three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champion and 2015 Show-Me 100 winner needed only 11 minutes and 3 seconds in going green-to-checkers, picking up $10,000. The win came one night after "Superman" finished second to Ricky Thornton Jr. It was his fifth overall in 2023 and ninth career MLRA triumph. "Last night we just got behind in qualifying," said Davenport, who swept Saturday's action as he set fast qualifying lap and won his heat race in addition to wiring the feature field. "I've got to thank my crew on this one here. This is a new car that they built in the past week. Everybody at Longhorn from the fab guys to the assembly guys to the parts guys ... I really appreciate it. "Our guys put their heads together and really hit on something tonight. I've got to thank them." Reigning MLRA Series champ Chad Simpson of Mount Vernon, Iowa, finished second, 2.9 seconds in back of Davenport. Garrett Alberson of Las Cruces, N.M., was third. Davenport sprinted to the lead and already was passing lapped cars, just six laps into the race. He had a 3.1-second lead over fellow front-row starter Chad Simpson with Spencer Hughes running third in the early going. Continuing to set a blistering pace, Davenport maintained his command as the race soared past the halfway point. He was 3.6 seconds clear of Simpson with Garrett Alberson another two seconds behind the runner-up by lap 25. From that point on, it was all about handling lapped traffic and Davenport did so in expert fashion. Even as Simpson gradually cut into the lead over the final 10 laps, Davenport's lead was never in doubt. "You can't ever take your foot off the gas with these guys. You start loafing through lapped traffic and the guys behind you will close really quick," said Davenport, who next weekend will make his first attempt in the NASCAR Cup Series in the dirt race on the high banks of Bristol. "It feels really good to win," Davenport added. "We've had a lot of bad racing luck (this season). We've had fast cars and it just feels good. It builds confidence back up in the team and myself. "I'm pretty much going into the biggest weekend of my career racing next week, so I have to thank those guys and I'm looking forward to going to Bristol next week." Simpson had a solid run for the runner-up position and said he was able to close the gap on Davenport a bit, but not enough to mount serious bid without a caution. "You always feel like you have a shot," Simpson said, "but I knew once he got back to clean traffic he was just a little better car than we were." Bobby Pierce of Oakville, Illinois, drove from 13th to fourth and Logan Martin of West Plains wound up fifth. After winning on Friday, Thornton had to win a B-Main to get into Saturday's feature. He started 20th and finished 15th, the last driver on the lead lap. A total of 50 Late Models checked into the pits and there were 114 cars across all four divisions. Davenport the fast qualifying time, out of Group A, going 15.680 seconds to beat out Lucas Oil Speedway weekly regular Dalton Imhoff's 15.80. USRA B-Mod feature goes to Jackson: Seven-time Lucas Oil Speedway Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod champ Kris Jackson of Lebanon made a decisive pass with two laps remaining to claim the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win. Jackson got around Mitchell Franklin, who led most of the way, after a restart with three laps remaining after a three-wide battle for the lead with those two and JC Morton wound up in a caution flag. Jackson started ninth and sailed around the outside of Franklin and Morton for the lead on lap 22. The trio was running three wide into turn three the next time around with Jackson on the outside, Morton in the middle and Franklin inside. Morton and Jackson wound up spinning and Franklin emerged with the lead. Morton was unable to continue and Jackson, starting behind Franklin as the race went back to green, made an outside pass and held on from there. Jon Sheets finished second and Franklin settled for third with Ryan Gillmore fourth. Hendrix prevails in USRA Stock Cars: The O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature turned into a battle of attrition and David Hendrix was able to come away the winner. He held off Bryan White after White's failed bid for the lead on the final lap when he made contact with the leader in turn three. White went to the infield, cutting through the grass, and got back onto the dirt in time to cross the line behind Hendrix. The two exchanged bumps after the checkered flag. White was disqualified afterward, elevating Jeff Tennant to second and James Ellis into third. Hendrix, of Buckhorn, took home $750 for the win in what was a rough-and-tumble event. Nine of the 15 cars in the starting field were eliminated in three mishaps before two laps were completed. Clevenger charges to Show-Me Vintage Racers win: Damon Clevenger of Parkville took the lead with three laps to go and held off Chad Eichleberry to win the Show-Me Vintage Racers Series feature. Clevenger started 10 and worked his way into top five by lap five. He became the race's fifth and final leader when he went around Eichleberry on lap 12. Bill Behrens wound up third, Dan Schmidt was fourth and Jim Thorne finished fifth. The feature was dedicated to Mickey Fleehart, founder and president of the Show-Me Vintage Racers. Fleehart passed away on March 3 of this year. Fleehart's grandson drove Mickey's No. 7 car on a pace lap prior to the feature, taking a ceremonial green and checkered flag. "I love this club and this one goes in Mickey's honor. He was a great president and we all miss him," Clevenger said.

  Thornton Jr. scores runaway victory on Night One of Lucas Oil MLRA Spring Nationals

  WHEATLAND, MO. (March 31, 2023) - Once Ricky Thornton Jr. got to the lead, there was no stopping the Martinsville, Indiana, driver on Night 1 of the 10th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Spring Nationals Presented by Arizona Sport Shirt at Lucas Oil Speedway. Thornton earned $5,000 for his second career MLRA victory, dominating a field of 48 Late Models that checked into the pits for the opener of the weekend. The Spring Nationals conclude on Saturday night with $10,000 going to the Late Model winner. "We were really good there," Thornton said after the victory, which attracted a large and deep field as national-touring series events scheduled for this weekend were rained out. "We practiced really good yesterday and I was super comfortable. It was a good night." Support divisions running on Friday night saw Tom Charles capture the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature and Nic Bidinger win the Show-Me Vintage Racers main event. Thornton started third and remained there through the early going before charging around Earl Pearson Jr. on lap nine and then taking over the lead, for good, on lap 14. Thornton, a one-time Modified ace who was racing his Late Model for the first time in 27 days due to numerous weather cancellations, finished 4.9 seconds in front of runner-up Bobby Pierce in the caution-free 40-lapper. Jonathan Davenport made a late charge to third with Tanner English finishing fourth. Late Model rookie and local favorite Dillon McCowan, a two-time Lucas Oil Speedway USRA Modified track champion, led the first 13 laps. The 19-year-old from nearby Urbana, who plans to run for MLRA Rookie of the Year honors, faded late to wind up fifth. Thornton, 32, said he was waiting for the track to slow down a bit in the early going as he stayed patient behind McCowan and Pearson. "Then we really kind of took off," Thornton said. "It shows how hard our guys work. It's pretty cool to be able to run today. I think we all thought it was gonna rain out. I'm just glad we got to make some laps and we'll see how we do tomorrow." Race day on Friday was under the threat of rain that didn't materialize. But high winds, with gusts in excess of 50 miles per hour at times, made it a challenging day for the track crew. McCowan started outside of row one and got the jump on pole-starter Pearson, as the race went green. McCowan proceeded to lead the first 13 laps, at one time with a 1.7-second command over Thornton as the eventual winner passed Pearson on lap nine. By lap 12, Thornton had moved to the back of McCowan's car and was pressuring for the lead. The national-touring-series vet got it coming out of turn four to complete lap 14, moving past McCowan on the inside. "He was really good. He was there in his heat race, too," Thornton said of McCowan. "He's got a lot of laps here. He got out front I think he just didn't know exactly where he needed to be on the track. The middle was really good early and then I found out the top in one and two was really good and I could kind of do whatever I wanted in three and four. "I was able to get by Earl. That took me five or six laps. I didn't want to do something dumb and take myself out of it. Just overall, really good speed and I didn't tear anything up tonight. The tires still look good. Hopefully, I can do the same thing tomorrow. Pierce, who started sixth, took over second on lap 18 and set his sights on Thornton as the race remained caution-free with the leaders darting through lapped traffic. Pierce said could have used a caution at that point, but it wouldn't have mattered much near the end. "I kind of ended up using my tires a bit there and if I didn't get one midway through the race, I was glad I didn't see one with a couple of laps to go," Pierce said. "I would have been a sitting duck. "Congrats to Ricky on the win. His car was really good. When he wanted to flip on the switch, he flipped it on. Just a pretty good night for us. We have to get a little better in the black. It's what this is about, just learning this thing and trying to see what makes it go the best." Pierce led qualifying with a lap of 16.337, pacing Group B and earning him pole for the third heat race. McCowan outdueled him to win the heat, regaining the leader midway through when they traded slide jobs, and get a front-row starting spot for the main event. It was an impressive outing for McCowan, who held a podium position until lap 39 when Davenport moved around him into third. He surrendered another spot on the final lap as Tanner English wound up in fourth. Davenport said his run was solid and said he looks forward to Saturday. "We just got behind in qualifying, the track just got faster as it went along in qualifying, then we just ran behind the 8 car (McCowan) and Bobby (Pierce) in the heat and didn't have anywhere to go," Davenport said. "We had a pretty good race track right there, it got a little top dominant there towards the middle but there at the end it started slowing down and I was able to pass a couple of cars on the bottom." USRA Modified feature goes to Bidinger: Nic Bidinger and Matt Johnson started on the front row and dueled throughout the 20-lap Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature, with Bidinger coming out on top by two car lengths at the finish. Bidinger, of Perry, Kansas, prevailed in his first outing of the 2023 season after earning 10 wins overall last season. Johnson pulled alongside Bidinger coming out of turn four to complete the fifth lap, but was unable to make the pass. Bidinger kept him at bay the rest of the way, with Johnson's last-lap charger coming up just short. "Sometimes starting up front is good and sometimes it's bad," Bidinger said. "We searched around there early. I saw Matt was coming on the bottom, so I changed up my line a little and covered that up and really took off and it went good. It was the first night out this year, so we'll take it." Dustin Sorensen finished third with Robbie Reed fourth and Mickey Burrell fifth. Charles wins SMVR feature: Tom Charles of Wolcott, Kansas, led all 15 laps of the Show-Me Vintage Racing Series feature, holding off Jim Thorne over the final three circuits after a late caution set up a shootout. Charles' lead was 1.04 seconds when the caution flew to give Thorne and third-running Brandon Jordan a shot at overtaking him after a single-file restart. Jordan moved into second on lap 13, but was unable to overtake Charles as the winner's margin at the checkers was just under one second. Jordan wound up in second with Dan Schmidt third and Jim Thome fourth. "I made some changes on the car this winter, I put some new springs on it and moved some stuff around," said Charles, who was driving a 1963 Ford Fairlane.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Payton Looney eager for right mix of racing, family time in 2023

  WHEATLAND, MO. (March 29, 2023) - Payton Looney is looking at the 2023 season as one of a happy medium, where he can race enough to quench his competitive thirst while being at home enough for his growing family. "I would like to race about 15 times," Looney said on Tuesday, while previewing this weekend's 10th annual MLRA Spring Nationals Presented by Arizona Sport Shirts at Lucas Oil Speedway. The season-opening MLRA doubleheader, with a $5,000-to-win feature on Friday and with a $10,000 prize on Saturday, is a chance for the 28-year-old from Republic to compete near home and on his favorite race track with his family and friends cheering. Looney won Night Two of the Spring Nationals a year ago, but it was one of just seven outings in his Atnip Enterprises Capital Race Car in 2022. He also raced only seven times in 2021 after a grinding 25-race campaign in 2020 in which he won the Show-Me 100, but fell just short of the MLRA Series championship. Those countless hours on the road, often taking him away from wife Emilee and two young children, is not something he wishes a return to. Son Baylor just finished his youth basketball season and is starting baseball and daughter Elliott is getting involved in gymnastics. "I definitely miss racing, but I'm just not willing to travel up and down the road like I was before," Looney said. "My oldest boy is starting sports and my daughter is starting gymnastics. I don't want to miss any of that. If I can still race 10-15 times a year and still be a present father at home, that's the goal." Looney said he's looking forward to balancing his competitive fire with the fun racing has to offer through good-paying events close to home, whether at Wheatland, West Plains or Lake Ozark. The schedule, expense and stress of chasing points, as he did in 2020, is something he doesn't miss. "It's a lot more fun. It's a lot less stress, I know that," Looney said. "Really, just racing in general, now we just do it now for fun. We still love to do it. It's not like it used to be when we had to do it every weekend and all that type of stuff. "We've had a lot of success at Lucas over the years. We won the Spring Nationals there last year. Any time I can race, it's a good weekend." Looney said that it doesn't have to be in the top-of-the-line Late Model to put a smile on his face. He filled the seat in the Moon Brothers Limited Late Model last weekend at Lucas Oil Speedway as regular driver JC Morton was out of town competing in his USRA B-Mod. As he was advancing through the field, Looney's car suffered a broken axle to end his night. Still, he called it a fun getaway to get to the track and only need 90 minutes to do so. This weekend, his goal would be to win and have someone buy his race car. Looney has a new Capital on order, but needs to sell this one before completing the deal and taking aim at bigger events, such as the Show-Me 100 over Memorial Day weekend. Looney knows he forever will be linked to the Show-Me, joining Terry Phillips as the only Missouri driver to win the crown-jewel event just three years ago. "The Show-Me is one of my favorite weekends of the year. I love that event and have since I was a kid," Looney said. "Being a past champion makes it even better. Really, I just love racing. Any chance I get to be there and race is fun." A practice session is scheduled from 6-9 p.m. Thursday night, allowing drivers an opportunity to get dialed in. Practice is open to MLRA drivers, plus those in divisions scheduled to race either Friday or Saturday. Pit passes will be $25 with only the pit-side concessions open, with a limited menu. Full programs are scheduled for both race nights. Joining the Late Models on Friday will be the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds running for $1,000 to win and the Show-Me Vintage Racers also on hand. On Saturday night, O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars will be in action gunning for a top prize of $750 and the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods will be in action running for a top prize of $750. SMVR also will return on Saturday with the Mickey Fleehart tribute race, paying tribute to the long-time leader of the series who passed away over the offseason. Pit gates are scheduled to open at 4 p.m. and spectator gates at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.

  DEFENDING CHAMP-- CHAD SIMPSON LEADS MLRA INTO "SPRING NATIONALS"  

  Wheatland, Missouri (March 27, 2023) - The 10th Annual MLRA "Spring Nationals", Presented by Arizona Sport Shirts, will take centerstage this weekend March 31st - April 1st, when the Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) kicks off their 35th Anniversary season of racing action. The "Diamond of Dirt Tracks" the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri will play host to the opening round for the first time since the 2017 season, which saw Will Vaught and Rodney Sanders taking home top honors. Friday nights weekend lid-lifter will feature a $5,000 to win main event, followed by a $10,000 A-Feature showdown to wrap up the weekend on Saturday night. A practice session on Thursday night will proceed the weekends racing action, running on track from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, allowing drivers an opportunity to get dialed in for the always important season opening weekend. Chad Simpson will roll into Wheatland as the series' defending Champion after scoring his third career title in 2022. His prior MLRA championships had come in 2014 & 2018, and now he will have an opportunity to become the first driver to go back-to-back since John Anderson last accomplished that feat during the 2011 and 2012 seasons. The driver from Mount Vernon, Iowa will be hitting the track Thursday night for the first time since last fall's MLRA Championship weekend at the Tri-City Speedway, and he will be doing so in a new Longhorn by Wells Chassis with a Pro Power Racing engine under the hood.  "We haven't turned any laps on the new car at all, so we're excited to hopefully get in Thursday night so we can get a little practice and a few laps on the car and get comfortable before things really get started on Friday," commented Simpson. "I'm hopeful that it will fit us pretty good and we can make just a few little tweaks here and there to fit my liking." "We bought this new car through Wells, and Eric (Wells) has been really good with me and walked us through everything and all of their basics and stuff. I've seen cars come out of their shop and I've seen how they have ran, they typically seem to be pretty good right out of the box. It appears they've got a really good package with (Brandon) Overton and what his program is, so I'm hoping for a quick transition, but you just never know with a new car and a new change." When it comes to Wheatland and the Lucas Oil MLRA, Simpson knows first-hand how important it can be to have a good grasp on the 3/8 mile oval. With a total of eight nights of action planned this season at the Diamond he notes that it's definitely a place that can always bring a driver their share of highs and lows. "We've had years there that we've been really good and we've had a lot of years that we have struggled there, but just having some history down there like we do is a help when it comes to knowing where to start and what to do." Simpson's history includes being a three time winner at Lucas Oil Speedway, the most recent of which came in the 2018 season finale where he clinched his second MLRA title. In 2022 he notched three top five finishes, including a fifth place run in the 30th Annual Show-Me 100. With a shot at a fourth MLRA championship no more than a blip on the radar at this point, Simpson acknowledges how important the first three weekends of action will be for him and his MLRA counterparts who may be looking to have a shot at the $20,000 championship come October. "With all of these races back-to-back-to-back it can definitely set the stage for the rest of your year. You have to come out and keep an open mind, and you can't get frustrated in those first three weeks and hopefully just have some good runs and some good finishes that can keep you right up there towards the top."

  Wells captures Late Model headliner as Lucas Oil Speedway season begins with Stacye, Reed, Dimmitt also earning wins

  WHEATLAND, MO. (March 25, 2023) - An old pro found victory lane in the featured Hermitage Lumber Late Model division on opening night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Justin Wells of Aurora, who won the first Late Model race held at Diamond of Dirt Tracks when it opened in 2006, edged Tucker Cox for the $1,000 feature win. Other feature winners in the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series Spring Opener Presented by KOZL were: Cayden Stacye (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Robbie Reed (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds) and Waylon Dimmitt (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). A total of 85 cars checked into the pits to usher in the 2023 season, including 35 USRA B-Mods. Wells, with approximately 400 career feature wins, took the lead from Jace Parmley on lap 16 and led the final nine circuits of the feature. It was his first win of 2023 after capturing two features at Lucas Oil Speedway in limited visits to the track a year ago. Wells said it was win No. 95 for the No. 98 car, a 2006 TNT that he calls old dependable. "That's No. 95," Wells said. "We gave it a brush-up over the winter and we're really proud of it. TNT does a heck of a job on these cars. It's just a special race car. "You never know when you're gonna win your last one; these are so hard to win," Wells said of Late Model triumphs. "We really appreciate this. You guys could have easily gave up tonight here (due to recent rains) but you put in a hell of a lot of effort and I'll say you have a damn good track." Parmley, of Neosho, started on the front row and set a blistering early pace, leading by 2.5 seconds over Dean Willie after seven laps. The 46-year-old Wells, who started sixth, was working his way through the field and closed to the back bumper of Parmley by lap 12. Just four laps laps later, Wells drove past the leader coming off turn four. From there, Wells needed only three laps to stretch his lead to 1.5 seconds and he was 1.7 in front when a caution for Josh Dugan's lap-22 spin set up a dramatic finish. Wells executed a flawless restart with Cox slipped past Parmley for second behind him. The fifth-starting Cox made a strong run, but couldn't get to Wells with the final margin .525 seconds or about three car lengths. "It's kind of a young man's sports any more and you've got a good group of kids coming up and I really like them and respect them," Wells said. "They have a bright future." Parmley settled for third with Bryon Allison fourth and Joe Walkenhorst taking fifth. Stacye earns thrilling USRA B-Mod win: Cayden Stacye of Fair Grove pulled off a last-lap pass of Bobby Williams of nearby Hermitage to pick up the feature victory in the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds. Stacye drove past Williams on the inside of the final turn of the final lap and held on by a car length for his first Lucas Oil Speedway feature win. "I wasn't sure if we were going to be able to get it done, with (Williams) on the pole there those last two laps," Stacye said. "I just knew that I had to get a good jump and we just kind of went from there. I just drove it hard and ended up on top." From the outside of row one, JC Newell beat pole-starter Stacye to the lead as the race went green. Newell opened a 1.2-second lead after four laps before a caution for debris on the track slowed the action. Two more cautions over the next four laps kept Newell's lead slim, but Williams advanced from sixth to second after making a pass on a lap-nine restart. Rolling with a 1.5-second lead, Newell's hopes dissolved coming off turn four to conclude lap 12. He slowed with mechanical issues and pulled to the infield as Williams inherited the lead. From there, it was a two-car battle as Williams fought to hold off Stacye and - just as Stacye was about to go in front - a caution flew on lap 18. Stacyce dove to the inside of turn one on the final lap, but couldn't complete the pass. However, a similar move going into turn four did stick and Stacye beat Williams by .258 seconds. Austin Charles finished third with Dylan Cantwell fourth and Jake Richards coming home in fifth. Reed rolls to USRA Modified triumph: It was all Robbie Reed in the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified main event. The driver from Mexico, Missouri, outdistanced Ryan Middaugh by a comfortable margin, leading all 20 laps. "I just looked for that smooth part of the track," Reed said. "I looked for him under me, going through the rough, but I was hoping it would prevail, staying in the smooth. "It was fun. I was pleasantly surprised as well as the track was with all the rain we've had." Reed and Middaugh separated themselves from the field in the early going with Reed maintaining the lead in the battle of front-row starters. Reed, the 2020 track champion, opened a 1.9-second lead by the midpoint on lap 10. His cushion continued to build and was 2.2 seconds when a lap-14 caution came out. That gave Middaugh and third-place Matt Johnson a chance to run down the leader. But Reed had a solid restart and, while Middaugh and Johnson mixed it up behind him, was able to re-establish a sizable lead over the final six laps. Reed prevailed by 3.07 seconds over Middaugh with Johnson third, Jason Pursley fourth and Tyler Hibner fifth. Dimmitt takes first Lucas win in USRA Stock Cars: Waylon Dimmitt of Camdenton led all 20 laps of a caution-filled O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature to celebrate his first Lucas Oil Speedway feature win. "We've fought this place for a long time and I think we're finally getting something figure out," Dimmitt said. Dimmitt started third but had the lead by the end of lap one, inching past post-starting William Garner at the start-finish line. From there, Dean Wille began to give chase to Dimmitt, moving into second by lap two of a race plagued by four cautions in the first half of the 20-lapper. The biggest mover in the first part of the race was eighth-starting Rodney Schweizer who was running third by lap eight. Willie swung to the high side by lap 12 and closed to the bumper of Dimmitt, then started taking the low groove into the corners. Dimmitt was able to hold onto the lead as the race's fifth caution flew on lap 15 as Schweizer went for a spin. Dimmitt held on the rest of the way to capture the feature win, finishing 1.3 seconds in front of Wille. "I knew just as long as I hit my lines, we had it," Dimmitt said. Mason Beck finished third after starting ninth, Chris Tonoli was fourth and Robert White grabbed fifth.

  DUSTIN HODGES TO MAKE BID FOR LUCAS OIL MLRA ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

  Wheatland, Missouri (March 23, 2023) - For Dustin Hodges, the 2023 race season is about to take on an all-new look when the Lucas Oil MLRA hits the track next weekend for the 10th Annual "Spring Nationals" at the Lucas Oil Speedway. While the track for the opener may look familiar to the Centralia, Missouri driver the car will not, as he makes the jump from being a highly successful USRA Modified ace, to a contender for MLRA's Sunoco Race Fuel Rookie of the Year. At 34 years of age, Hodges is coming off one of his most successful seasons to date. A season of racing that netted his team nine A-Feature victories, a track championship at the Callaway Raceway in Fulton, MO, a runner-up points finish at the Lucas Oil Speedway, and a third-place finish in USRA Modified National Points. It's that success that made for a difficult off-season decision— continue being a dominate force in the modified ranks or seize an opportunity and live out a dream of racing Super Late Models. "One of the biggest hurdles has been deciding. Do we just try to get our feet wet this season and just try to learn the car and bounce to a few of the tracks to build a little bit of a notebook? Do we drive both cars and play with the late model some, but still focus mainly on the modified? But then knowing that we have all of the fresh equipment this year, and will we even be able to do it again next year. This deals just kind of came together to where I felt like I needed to make the leap and go for it." Hodges will begin his MLRA campaign behind the wheel of a new 2021 Rocket XR-1 Chassis with Cornett horsepower. "We've just kind of been holding onto it," noted Hodges of the chassis which he recently tested on the dirt for the first time at the Lucas Oil Speedway. "A gentleman that races around here locally Rick Kimberling, bought the car and pretty much told me that he was getting up there in age a little to be able to do it anymore and seen somebody with the drive to make it happen. So he just approached me and asked if I would be willing to take it and try to make something happen with it. I don't think we will ever have a better opportunity than we do now with the equipment that we have, so I think it's time," commented Hodges. This will not be Hodge's first go-around in the late model ranks, quite the opposite actually for the two-time ULMA Late Model Series Champion. "Zack VanderBeek is a really good friend of mine, so getting rid of the VanderBuilt (Chassis) stuff and back into the late model was a tough decision. We won the ULMA deal in 2016 & decided to chase it again in 2018 and won it again. That's also when the VanderBuilt stuff was getting big, so we jumped back into a modified." "Getting into one of his cars just made sense at the time, and of course now this opportunity presented itself and my ultimate dream has always been to get to drive a 900-horsepower super late model, so I just couldn't pass this up. I feel like if I look back in ten years and tell myself I had the chance, I wonder what would have become of it. I want to know what that outcome will be." With what he describes as a "get up on the wheel" driving style, Hodges is eager to return to the late model ranks, but acknowledges that a re-learning curve awaits. "One of the biggest challenges I'm feeling is obviously the power difference of having 200 more horse on top of what I used to have. And not only the power difference, but getting used to driving off the right front, that's something that's going to present a learning curve again." When the MLRA season finale rolls around in October the driver of the #22H is hopeful his name will still be very much in the conversation for Sunoco Rookie honors, and hopefully more. "I have to be competitive. If at the end of the season I'm not competing to ultimately running up front with everybody then I'm not going to be satisfied. There is just too much time and effort and money that goes into this deal." "I didn't grow up around racing, I didn't have family in this sport, so I have kind of had to just learn things one step at a time and ultimately, I've never had the funds myself to be able to do it. I'm blessed to have the career I have and to make the money I do to take care of my family. But without the help of my sponsors and especially Rick Kimberling doing this deal and providing the car and one of the motors, there is no way I would be doing this deal this year. I'm just extremely grateful to the people that allow me to represent them in racing and just blessed to be given this opportunity."

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Former Late Model track champ Cole Henson eager for return

  WHEATLAND, MO. (March 21, 2023) - Cole Henson''s 2022 Lucas Oil Speedway season - not to mention his chances for a third straight Hermitage Lumber Late Model track championship - went up in smoke moments before the big 4th of July fireworks display. That was during the Thursday Night Thunder feature last June 30 when Henson, battling for the lead with Larry Ferris and Justin Wells, felt his motor pop coming off turn two. A plume of smoke trailed from the exhaust. Not an inexpensive fix and with no spare power plant, the misfortune ended Henson's season. Now, a new season has brought new optimism - not to mention a new motor. "I'm pumped to get back in the seat. It's been too long. I'm ready to get back after it," Henson said. The Russellville driver is scheduled to make his return as the new Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series season begins on Saturday night. A special $1,000-to-win 25-lap Late Model feature highlights the action. Joining the Late Models in the first Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series program will be the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds, Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars. "We've got the same car, a Rocket XR-1. It only has a handful of races on it," Henson said. "Last year, the few races I got to run, I felt really comfortable in that car and that means a lot. I'm excited to get back after it. We have a good little shock program and car program behind us. "Larry and I were pretty dominant together. It was fun racing him. We're ready to go back door-to-door with him and the other guys." Henson and Ferris shared the Midseason Championship last year, with both winning two features and each taking a pair of runner-up finishes. Ferris went on to win four times overall to capture his first Lucas Oil Speedway championship. "That was pretty heartbreaking, but it's part of racing," Henson said of his blown motor. "You're going to have that sometimes. We just kept our head up and regrouped. I said at the time that if I couldn't win the championship, I hoped Larry could. "Larry's one hell of a guy. When I blew my motor, Larry was one of the first to call me and offer me a spare motor and to come down and get it. That meant a lot to me. He's just an all-around great guy. I kept up with how Larry was doing the rest of the season and was happy for him." Since last season, Henson said he's now the primary car owner though former owner Rob Schlup remains a valued team member who will accompany him to the track. "We're still good and we're still going racing together," Henson said. "We just hope to have a good, fun year of racing. That's what it's all about, go out there and make it fun with family and friends. They say it's like riding a bicycle. Hopefully I can get back on the bicycle and ride good, just like we were doing last season." Gates are scheduled to open at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.

  Young fans a big part of Lucas Oil Speedway opening night with Kids' Power Wheel races, Pit Tour

  WHEATLAND, MO. (March 20, 2023) - Over the last several seasons, Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton and track flagman Mike Striegel have made a priority of getting youngsters more involved in the sport in a variety of ways.

The other divisions find Lebanon's Kris Jackson returning after earning his fourth straight and seventh overall Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod track title in 2022. The closest points race a year ago came in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars, where Lebanon's Bryan White edged his father, Rob White, by just eight points.
