- Tyler Erb Returns to Victory Lane at East Bay
TAMPA, Fla. (February 7, 2024) - Tyler Erb earned a hard-fought victory on Wednesday night during the 48th Annual Wieland Winternationals - Presented by Lucas Oil at East Bay Raceway Park. Erb pulled away from a trio of cars who were battling for second to take a 2.653 second advantage at the finish line for his 21st career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win. Mike Marlar, who started 23rd edged out Davenport at the finish line for second to earn the Todd Steel Buildings Hard Charger of the Race. Davenport rounded out the Big River Steel Podium finishing third. Daulton Wilson and Dennis Erb Jr. completed the top five drivers. The action was fast and furious in the first 20 laps of the 40-lap main event as Davenport led the first 11 circuits until Erb rolled around him on the outside to take the lead on lap 12. Erb, Davenport, and Daulton Wilson were battling nearly 3-wide for the lead as Wilson took his only lead of the race on lap 20. Davenport then came back to hold the point until Erb powered by him on lap 26. From there, Erb stormed away to pick up a convincing victory. Erb in taking his fifth career East Bay victory fought back after a disappointing race on Tuesday night where he finished sixth after leading in the early part of the race. "I think just racing a little smarter today. I chased JD [Davenport] and was really patient and finally got by him. On the restart they obviously started running the top or something to get such a really good run. I just had to hunker down and fight back. I have got an awesome car and an awesome group of people helping me. I love East Bay it produces some of the greatest racing and it was a really good race." "I can't believe JD left the top open down there in one and two," said the New Waverly, Texas driver who became the fourth different winner this year on the tour. "His [Davenport's] car was really good. That was fun, that's East Bay that's how it's supposed to be where you can run all over the place. Honestly the first 20 laps I never really spun my tires, so I knew I had a lot left in the tank. I just had to find the right place on the racetrack to use it." Marlar had the drive of the night coming from the inside of the last row to nip Davenport at the line to finish in second. "We have just been struggling the whole trip. We kind of figured out we had a bent rear end in the car. I was kind of bad early in the night, but I got it going for the feature. I want to thank Greg Bruening for giving me this opportunity. I hope we put on a good show there. There at the end I got to rolling the top. They knew I was coming." Davenport finished third for the second night in a row. "The lane moved several times there. My guys gave me the best car they could. Congratulations to Tyler [Erb] and Mikey [Marlar]. The last second, I heard him [Marlar], so I turned to the left so hopefully that helped us both in these heat races coming up, so we don't have a lot to fix." The winner's Best Performance Motorsports, Rocket Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Bulk Material Lift, Anthony's Pizza, First Class Septic, Base Fuels, Keyser Manufacturing, Roberts Bee Company, Integra Racing Shocks, JRR Trucking, and Sani-Weld. Completing the top ten were Jimmy Owens, Tim McCreadie, Brian Shirley, Kyle Bronson, and Garrett Smith.

- O'Neal Takes Wieland Winternationals Opener at East Bay
TAMPA, Fla. (February 6, 2024) - Hudson O'Neal won the opening round of the 48th Annual Wieland Winternationals - Presented by Lucas Oil on Tuesday night at East Bay Raceway Park. O'Neal picked up right where he left off, ending last year's Winternationals at East Bay winning the Thursday and Friday night programs as Saturday's finale was rained out. O'Neal battled with Tyler Erb for the first 10 laps of the race until taking the lead for good on lap 11. Daulton Wilson tracked down O'Neal on occasion, but never got the opportunity to pass O'Neal as O'Neal raced through traffic towards the end of the race to score his 27th career win on the tour. Wilson finished second followed by Jonathan Davenport, Ashton Winger, and the Todd Steel Buildings Hard Charger of Race, Devin Moran who came from the 18th starting spot to round out the top five drivers. O'Neal went to Lucas Oil Victory for the fifth time ever at East Bay and for the third time this year with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. "It looked like they shoved those tires in three and four a little bit. I knew that if I could just stay patient enough eventually that top was going to go away. Tyler [Erb] went down there in front of me one time and it came down to a crucial pass coming off of two he just missed the bottom a little bit and let me sneak in. We rubbed some doors, but I knew that was probably going to be the only chance I had to get back by him. We had a little different tire on I feel like that the rest of the field, but it ended up working out." Wilson finished second for the ninth time in his career in Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series competition. "The racetrack was pretty bottom dominant and starting sixth I knew we had to get to the front quickly. It was a great night for us, we had good speed and moved moved forward tonight. We brought home everything in one piece. Since we went to this new car it's really easy to drive. I feel like I can go wherever I want to. Hats off to my guys for building a great race car." Davenport who came into the final Winternationals at East Bay with eight career wins at the "Clay by the Bay" rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "I would have bet this thing would had rubbered in no time and it never did for sure. I don't know why it didn't. We went a little harder on tire. I lost my grandpa today. He was probably one of the pioneers of the sport that nobody knows about. He probably owned a car for 40 or 50 years. We hate that we lost him but he lived a great life, he was 94 years old. We was hoping we could win one for him and hopefully tomorrow night we can do that." The winner's Mark Richards Racing, Rocket Chassis is powered by Durham Racing Engine and sponsored by Valvoline, Seubert Calf Ranches, Performance Grading, Ace Metal Works, Stiles Marine and Maintenance, Wheeler Metals, O'Neal's Salvage and Recycling, Professional Concrete Cutting and Drilling, Gunter's Honey, Fox Shocks, WR1 Sim Chassis and Sunoco Race Fuels.

- Big River Steel Chase for the Championship Presented by ARP Begins at Golden Isles
BATAVIA, Ohio (January 23, 2024) - The quest for the Big River Steel Chase for the Championship- presented by ARP begins at Golden Isles Speedway, Thursday January 25. The massive fund of over one million dollars will continue in 2024 with a slight twist to the format. The year-long format will continue to award teams cash prizes at four different intervals throughout the season. However, bonus points will not be awarded after each round. Drivers can still move up in points after each bonus round and be eligible for additional bonuses as the season winds down. The Big River Steel Big Four will now be determined at the 20th Annual Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals on September 21. From there, the four championship contenders will battle for the 20th Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Championship at the remaining seven races of the season. The modified title format is already driving up purses for the new season. Sept. 28's Jackson 100 at Brownstown Speedway and Oct. 5's Pittsburgher now pay $50,000-to-win, both up from $30,000-to-win in 2023, simply because those crucial events are now part of the seven-race chase for the title. "It's seven points events to determine the Series Championship among those four drivers. With a unique set of race-tracks no one driver will have an advantage. Huge Thanks goes to Big River Steel, ARP, Sunoco Race Fuels, Summit, and UNOH for their support of this format and the bonus money they all are putting into the points fund.

About Nutrien Ag Solutions Nutrien Ag Solutions is the retail business of Nutrien, the world's largest provider of crop inputs and services. The brand was established in 2018 after Nutrien was formed through the merger of PotashCorp and Agrium. Though the Nutrien Ag Solutions name is still relatively young, the company can trace its roots to predecessors that began operating as early as 1859. Prior to the launch of the new brand, the company was known in the U.S. as Crop Production Services, the retail arm of Agrium. Crop Production Services, which itself had been formed through a merger of four different companies, had long established a reputation as one of the leading crop input retailers in the country, with more than 900 retail locations and 7,500 employees. Much has changed in agriculture since Nutrien Ag Solutions' humble 19th-century beginnings. Advancements in technology allow for more effective growing methods that minimize environmental impacts. Under the Nutrien umbrella, the company has expanded its product and service offerings and is part of a global network of retailers spanning three continents.Despite these changes, the people of Nutrien Ag Solutions have never lost sight of the American farmers and the work they do. Decade after decade, we are here to provide the best technologies, tools, and products so you can focus on what you do best: grow. To learn more visit https://nutrienagsolutions.com.
