  Lucas Oil Speedway Champions Spotlight: Better-than-ever Wells repeats Late Model track title

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Dec. 12, 2024) - After successfully repeating his Lucas Oil Speedway track championship in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model division, Justin Wells said the formula to success hasn't changed with age. The 47-year-old Wells drove to 11 feature wins in once again running away with the championship in 2024, a year after posting 12 overall victories. Asked the key to his success, Wells said it's the same as when he was winning races 20 years ago. "It's hard work and effort combined, with a lot of good luck," Wells said this week. The member of the Ozarks Area Racers Foundation Hall of Fame, who won the first Late Model race at new Lucas Oil Speedway in 2006, said just like his runaway title in 2023 he didn't begin the season with a grand plan of chasing a championship. "Two years ago we won a race up there and said we weren't gonna race for points then blowed up our (open Late Model ) motor and all we had was our weekly motor," Wells said. "It worked out and we enjoyed it. "This year I told everybody 'I'm not racing for points.' Well, some of my sponsors bought some suites up there and some other sponsors had some spots on the lake. The next thing you know, we go and win the first race and we're hooked for the rest of the year." Wells joked that he's "tried quitting - well, not quitting, but slowing down - a few times" over the years but keeps coming back to the driver's seat. He was one of the creators of the Cash Money Dirt Late Model series a few years ago, but gave that up after a couple of years as it cut into his racing time. "We got to promoting races for a couple of years and my racing suffered," Wells said. "Every time I went to the track, we didn't run good. We're back to full focus and putting all our efforts and time in it and everything we've done has been good and it's been fun to run good and be competitive." Wells showed the past season that he can still run up front with the open Late Model guys on the rare instances he takes his shot with finishes of third and fourth at the MLRA Fall Nationals over Labor Day Weekend at Wheatland. He said he could have made a run at a win had a timely caution come out late in his third-place run. "I don't know how many we could win in the super Late Model stuff, but I think we've got a shot at it," Wells said. Wells said he and his son, Cole, are looking to compete in as many open Late Model shows as they can within a reasonable travel distance in 2025. He's not making any firm plans to gun for a Lucas Oil Speedway Weekly Racing Series three-peat, but there's always that chance. If he does run weekly again, Wells has one big advantage. That's the car he calls "Old Faithful, a 2006 TNT chassis that he's driven to 116 feature wins. It's almost unheard of for a car nearly 20 years old to still be active, let alone finding victory lanes. "She's a good one," Wells said. "That's the same car I was winning MARS races in back in 2009, 2010. Cars have a life span that is usually 2-3 years to get a lot of good out of them and maybe a couple of years after that. This car, it doesn't matter what motor combination you put in there, it just responds to changes. I have no answer. "It's never gonna be for sale. When we quit racing, we'll probably plant flowers in it."

  Lucas Oil Speedway Champions Spotlight: Garner savors Stock Cars title and Most Popular Driver award

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Dec. 9, 2024) - One year ago, William Garner talked about the lessons learned and the fine line between winning a Lucas Oil Speedway track championship and finishing tantalizingly close to the big award. "We had some heart-breakers where I know we could have won the show and let a couple get away from us," Garner said last off-season. Motivation was Garner's rallying cry entering the 2024 season in the O'Reilly Auto USRA Stock Cars division. And it paid off nicely as the 24-year-old from Lebanon finished off his championship charge with four feature wins and nine top-five finishes to edge Jaylen Wettengel by 30 points. "It means a lot for me and my whole team," Garner said of his first Lucas Oil Speedway track title. "Everybody dreams about getting a championship at Lucas. It's just a big achievement for my whole team and I'm grateful that we had the opportunity to run for the championship and come home with it." Garner said the extra motivation, combined with the continued improvement of his Franklin Motorsports team, was enough to get him over the hump. "Going into it, I knew that each year my team just keeps getting better and better," Garner said. "I knew going into it we had a pretty good chance if we could stay up front and not have DNFs, I knew we had a pretty good chance about running for it." Finishing races and avoiding disastrous nights came down to spending extra time in the shop, going over the car each week with the proverbial fine-tooth comb. It was about making sure all the parts were sound and the tires were good. And behind the wheel, Garner was up to the challenge as well as he went 11-for-11 in finishing the top 10. The highlight was obvious, the night in mid-July when he won two features on the same night as the Stock Cars ran a make-up feature to start the evening. Using a late pass to get around defending track champion Mason Beck in the first feature, Garner rallied from a seventh-starting spot to also claim the second one. "That's definitely one to remember," Garner said. "That's one of the biggest things in my career because each and every one of these Stock Car guys, there are so many good drivers. That night I was able to get that first win there and get back around Mason in that one. "The second one I started back (in seventh) and when I got to third, I was like, 'I have a good chance of getting this one, too.' I just thought I was going to ride there, then I got to second and passed for the lead, I started getting pretty excited. I just kept myself calm where we could pick that one up too." Winning the championship wasn't the only highlight of Garner's season. At the recent Lucas Oil Speedway Championship Awards banquet, he received the prestigious Most Popular Driver trophy. Making that award more special is that it's a fan-voted honor. "The year before, Mitchell Franklin won it and I was glad to be able to keep that in the Franklin Motorsports shop," Garner said. "An award like that means so much. It shows you how many people are paying attention to every driver and what they do and how you present yourself to everybody. It means a lot to get voted for most popular driver." Asked what he does to connect with fans, Garner said he just enjoy being himself and treating everyone who stops by his pit location with respect - especially youngsters. "When people come by, I just try to talk to everybody and if there are any kids that come by, I try to give them some stuff like hero cards," Garner said. "I let 'em look the car all over and talk to them about anything. I pretty well just talk to them like they're my friend." Garner said the focus now turns to 2025 with the goal of winning another championship. "I'm gonna try to go back-to-back. It's hard, but it can be done," he said. "I got to thank the whole Lucas Oil team, all the workers. I have to thank (General Manager) Danny Lorton for giving us Stock Car drivers a place to race every week. If it wasn't for him we wouldn't have that class around here. I'm just glad he's sticking it out with us." Along with Josh and Mitchell Franklin and Garner's girlfriend, Garyn Young, he gave a shout out to his large roster of sponsors: Icon Graphics, Franklin Motorsports, Eagle Machine, Mitchell Capital Management, Court Probationary Services, Leerose Puppies, E-co Equipment & Solutions, Bar T Cattle, G&M Transport, Johnny Fennewald Roofing & Seamless Gutters, Midwest Sheet Metal, Richardson's Carpet, Devlin-Nichols Tax & Accounting, Hogan Land Title, Arrowhead Building Supply and Garner Construction. "We can't do what we do without everyone helping out," he said.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Champions Spotlight: Jason Pursley savors first title

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Dec. 4, 2024) - Jason Pursley was the epitome of determination and perseverance in chasing a goal that he eluded him for nearly a quarter-century-long racing career. But at long last, 2024 proved to be the magical season that the veteran Modified driver from Hermitage finally captured a Lucas Oil Speedway track championship after nine runner-up finishes. Pursley, 48, took home the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified track championship with consistency paving the way. The superintendent of the Skyline School District had five top-five finishes and three other top-10s on his way to a 78-point margin over Chad Lyle. After some time to reflect on the championship, Pursley said earlier this week that the warm feelings are carrying over into the wintertime. "It means a lot just for the simple fact to finally check it off the bucket list after all these years, after coming in second so many times," Pursley said. "It may not mean a lot to a lot of people, but I really wanted to check it off the list and finally win one there at Lucas. It takes a lot of dedication and perseverance type of deal to never give up. "It kind of gets the monkey off my back. I'm pretty happy about it." After so many second-place points finishes - some by narrow margins and others that were pretty lopsided - Pursley admitted that he wasn't sure that his time would ever come. But he never gave up, and that's half the battle. "I didn't know if it would ever happen," he said. "There were a few times I was a distant second, but there were a few times where I was pretty close. One time to Cutshaw (four-time champ Jeff Cutshaw) and another that was fairly close and it came down to the end. It just seems like somebody would get on a roll and they would have an awesome year, or we'd have trouble or whatever. "But this year it finally paid off. We had a decent year. We were very consistent with our speeds. Top two, three or four several times and I just finally came together for us and paid off." Pursley said he was as happy for long-time car owner Tom Campbell as for himself. The two have been partners in the sport for 14 years, an unusually long time between driver and owner. "I really wanted to get it for Tom. He spends a lot of money and a lot of time," Pursley said. "We've been together a long time as far as driver and owner - a lot longer than most. Racing has its highs, but it has its lows, and a lot of times drivers and owners don't make it as long as Tom and I have. "You get mad at each other and aggravated at each other. The owner blames the driver, the driver blames the car and then usually you go separate ways. We both get aggravated at times. We have moments. But we always look at the big picture and try to get better, is what we do. We have a good friendship outside of racing and I think that helps." The Lucas Oil Speedway championship "right up there" among Pursley's racing highlights. He lists two others - a 2005 season in which he won a combined 14 features at Springfield and Urbana to claim championships at both tracks and a USMTS race at Wheatland about a decade ago. He led 32 of 35 laps before finishing second to tour-regular Jason Krohn. Pursley already is looking forward to the 2025 season, where he will return to Lucas Oil Speedway as the reigning champ for the first time. Along with Campbell, he gave shout-outs to long-time sponsors Ozarks Community Health Care in Hermitage and Fugate Motors, along with son Dayton who moved into the USRA Modified division in 2024 and finished fourth in points. "Dayton helps me out, we help each other out," Jason Pursley said. "Racing with him this year was a lot of fun. Just getting the cars ready is so time consuming."

  Earl Pearson Jr. named Forrest Lucas Award winner, Garner Most Popular Driver at Lucas Oil Speedway Awards banquet

  LAKE OZARK, MO. (Nov. 23, 2024) - Lucas Oil Speedway honored its four track champions from the 2024 season and revealed several individual awards on Saturday night at the speedway's annual championship banquet at Resort at Lake of the Ozarks. Earl Pearson Jr., one of the legends of Dirt Late Model racing, was unveiled as winner of the top honor, the Forrest Lucas Lifetime Achievement Award, to conclude the festivities. The award is selected by Lucas Oil Speedway track management and goes to an individual who epitomizes excellence, character, loyalty and friendship to the sport of racing on and off the track. Pearson, an annual competitor at Lucas Oil Speedway as part of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series since the track opened in 2006, began his racing career in his hometown of Jacksonville, Fla., inspired by family and friends already involved in the sport. Initially racing go-karts, he honed his skills and moved up to late model dirt racing in 1995, carrying his father's number 46. winning his first Hav-A-Tampa Series National event in 1996 and Rookie of the year honors in 1997. His early success and natural talent caught the attention of teams and sponsors. He was hired by Dunn-Benson Motorsports in 2000 to drive their dirt late model, a team sponsored by Lucas Oil Products, initially connecting Earl and Forrest Lucas. Lucas' support was essential for Pearson's career, as the sponsorship allowed him to race consistently and reach new heights in dirt racing, earning the Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series Championship in 2004. That consistent sponsorship carried on for over two decades, a rare achievement in a national series and giving him the title as the longest sponsored athlete by Lucas Oil Products at 25 years. Their partnership remained significant in the formation of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, symbolizing loyalty and mutual success in the sport. Pearson was there from day one, when the series was established in 2005. It emerged as a top-tier Dirt Late Model racing series in the United States, attracting the country's best dirt racing talent. The first four consecutive Lucas Oil championships from 2005 to 2008 were claimed by Pearson, a feat that has cemented his legacy within the series and he is the only driver that has competed every year since its inception. He found victory lane in some of the biggest dirt late model events in the country, and ranks fourth in all-time series feature wins with 40. In addition to drawing fans, Pearson's success attracted sponsorships to the Lucas Oil series, which has been crucial for its growth and sustainability. His association with high-profile sponsors helped pave the way for other drivers and teams to secure their own sponsorships, allowing the series to expand its reach and offer bigger purses, which in turn attracted even more talented drivers. "We're proud to present the Forrest Lucas Lifetime Achievement Award to Earl for not only his on-track success as a driver, but his many contributions to the sport and the first-class manner in which he has been a leader and a friend to so many," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. Pearson received the award in a special presentation earlier this week at the Lucas Cattle Ranch. During a video of his remarks about the award, played at the banquet, Pearson talked about his relationship with Forrest Lucas and others. "There are so many people to thank who have helped me through my career with 25 years of racing," Pearson said. "Forrest Lucas and the family and the company and the race track and so many people that's have been involved with Forrest Lucas and who have helped me so much. Danny (Lorton) at the race track and all the people there, it's a beautiful place. "Just to be a part of so many different things Lucas Oil does. It's not the racing, it's the hunting. They're family people. Me and Forrect talk all the time, even today. When he talks I just sit there and listen and learn a lot of things - whether it's business, cattle or whatever it may be. "There are so many people who have helped me get to this point. It ain't all the time about racing and what you do, you have to have people who are friends, just like Chris Davis, Midwest Sheet Metal ... and multiple sponsors." Another high of the evening was announcement of the fan-voted Most Popular Driver winner. This year that went to William Garner of Lebanon, who also was recognized for his track championship in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars division. "I've gotta thank everybody who voted for me on this," Garner said. "Every single one of these drivers, they're all really good people. There's no better people in the world than the racing community." Other track champions who were honored were Justin Wells of Aurora in the Hermitage Lumber Late Models, Springfield's JC Morton in the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and Jason Pursley in the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds. The Best Appearing Race Car Awards in each division, as selected by the Lucas Oil Speedway staff and GS Stanek Racing Photography, went to: Alan Westling (Hermitage Lumber Late Models), Mason Beck (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars), J.T. Carroll (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Robbie Reed (Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds).

  Diamond Dozen: Looking back at 12 memorable Lucas Oil Speedway moments during 2024 season

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Nov. 12, 2024) - Before closing the book on the 2024 racing season at Lucas Oil Speedway, it's time to take a look back in our annual review of the "Diamond Dozen," an overview of the top 12 moments. The list is compiled by Lucas Oil Speedway public relations director Lyndal Scranton with an assist from track announcer Shane Friebe. 1 - USMTS Show-Me Shootout expands and produces classic: Jim Chisholm outdueled Terry Phillips in a USMTS race for the ages on Night One of the 15th annual Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout Presented by Foley Equipment. It was the first time the event was expanded to two nights. Chisholm, the young gun from Osage, Iowa, led six of the final eight laps, but swapped the lead with Phillips, the veteran from Springfield, Mo., three times over the final stretch of the 40-lapper. Chisholm regained the lead from Phillips on lap 38 and held on from there to win by a narrow .445 seconds for the $5,000 prize. "We could run top to bottom. We ran through the middle a lot. I have to thank Terry. I don't know if he led some of those laps, but we were running side by side through there. I was a little bit better through one and two and he would get me back in three and four," Chisholm said in victory lane. Chisholm completed the weekend sweep with another $5,000 win the next night. "This is gonna stick with me for a really, really long time," Chisholm said, adding, "again, Lucas Oil gave us a really good race track. I didn't win the race on the line I started. To me, that's huge because it keeps us drivers working really hard on where we have to run." 2 - "Superman" does it again in Show-Me 100: Living up to his nickname of "Superman," Jonathan Davenport put on another dominating performance to cap Memorial Day Weekend's 32nd annual Show-Me 100 Presented by the Missouri Division of Tourism. Davenport led every lap, with only a parade of caution flags slowing him down in rolling to a $50,000 victory, a race shortened to 80 laps due to approaching thunderstorms. The Blairsville, Ga., driver took the checkers 5.92 seconds in front of runner-up Tim McCreadie. It was Davenport's eighth feature victory at Lucas Oil Speedway since the spring of 2023 and his second Show-Me 100 triumph. He also won the crown jewel race in 2015, leading all 100 laps. Davenport's approach wasn't without some danger. His night nearly ended on lap 22 when Neil Baggett of Columbus, Miss., and Brennon Willard of Lebanon, Mo., tangled between turns three and four with Davenport charging toward them. "Oh my God, that was so close," recalled Davenport, who took evasive action to slip between the two spinning cars while making only the slightest contact with Willard's right-rear quarterpanel. "I held my breath going through there. Luckily they just kept doing what they was doing and they didn't stand on the gas and try to spin around, because I actually had to slide off the brake pedal to miss the first one and then I gassed up and went back the other way to miss the other one." 3 - Tosh edges Brown in Full Fender Thriller: Richie Tosh of Salado, Ark. edged Brown in the Full Fender Challenge, featuring a field of 12 cars split between USRA Stock Cars and POWRi Super Stocks that ran features earlier in the evening. Both Tosh and Brown came out of the Super Stocks division. Tosh, a close third after leading early in the Super Stock feature, began fifth in the Full Fender Challenge. But it was Brown who appeared on his way to a double victory most of the way. Brown grabbed the lead on lap one and opened a 2.6-second gap on Tosh by lap seven when the first caution flew.After the restart, Brown and Tosh waged a battle at the front with Brown staying in front. Sixth-starting Fennewald, meanwhile, fell back to eighth by lap 11 after climbing as high as fifth at the caution. Tosh pulled alongside Brown out of turn four on lap 15. Brown was able to fend off the challenge - until the final turn. The leaders found themselves in lapped traffic on the final cirdcuit and Tosh, diving low in turn four, beat Brown by a hood's length at the checkers, the margin listed as .074 seconds. It worked out. Lapped traffic, we diced and sliced there a little bit," Tosh said. "It was a fun race and fortunate to get to do it." 4 - Tony Jackson Jr. rolls to Jenkins Memorial MLRA win: Tony Jackson Jr. saved his best for last in the 10th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial Presented by Rugged Radios over Labor Day Weekend. The veteran Late Model driver from Lebanon found speed on the high side and rocketed to the lead two laps to go, then held off Dillon McCowan and Gordy Gundaker for the $12,000 victory. Jackson never led - but also was never out of the top three - until the exciting finish when the 2021 Lucas Oil MLRA champ went from third to first seemingly in an instant. It was his second time to win a Ron Jenkins Memorial feature. "What a race track," an excited Jackson said in victory lane. "Ten thousand is a great pay day and they add an extra two thousand. Great people and a great family. We can't thank them enough. We're blessed to win it." 5 - Veteran Pursley celebrates first track championship: Jason Pursley could celebrate a Lucas Oil Speedway track championship after being runner-up multiple times — even if it wasn't exactly the way he would have planned it. Pursley spun and damaged his car on the opening lap in the feature, but by merely taking the green flag on Saturday night Pursley clinched the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified track championship in the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series. Pursley was running second behind fellow front-row starter Chambers on the opening lap when he spun between turns three and four and was hit by multiple cars - including his son, Dayton. Pursley was unable to continue and credited with 20th place, but thanks to a 69-point lead to begin the night over Chad Lyle, who didn't start the feature, Pursley clinched the championship when the green flew. He didn't win a feature, but had five top-five finishes and three other top-10s this season. "It's good to finally not be the first loser," Pursley said with a laugh, thanking car owner Tom Campbell and his sponsors for the support. Other track championships for 2024 went to JC Morton (Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Justin Wells with a repeat in the Hermitage Lumber Late Models and William Garner (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). 6 - Phillips claims first Heartland Modified Tour event at Wheatland: Terry Phillips led all 30 laps, but it was a hard-fought battle to the finish as the veteran driver from Springfield captured the first USRA Heartland Modified Tour feature at Lucas Oil Speedway. Phillips earned $2,000 for the victory, which also was the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified headliner of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series. Phillips held off Gabe Hodges by .209 seconds in a close battle that came down to the final turn, pitting the old pro against a young gun. A total of 50 USRA Modified checked into the pits. Phillips, in his own Bloodline Race Car, utilized the low groove around the track from start to finish in his first added-money win at Lucas Oil Speedway in quite some time. "I love coming up here. I run pretty decent in my Modified," Phillips said, noting the extra-thrill of victory in front of fans who rarely get to see him race near home as he's moved to top-level Modified racing full time in recent years. Phillips hugged the low groove - as did the other contenders - until Hodges ducked to his inside in turn three on lap 19. Phillips was able to fend him off and Hodges moved up the track on lap 21 with Tyler Wolff putting the pressure on him. That allowed Phillips to extend his league to one second by lap 25. The leaders hit heavy traffic at the white flag and Hodges closed in for one final charge. Phillips was able to hang on by a car length at the checkers with Wolff right behind. 7 - High Limit Racing arrives with Courtney capturing win: Tyler Courtney took the lead with five laps remaining Friday night and went on to capture Night One of the Kubota High Limit Racing Diamond Classic in late June. Courtney, of Indianapolis, roared from third and into the lead after a lap 24 restart and went on to earn $10,000 with his fourth Kubota High Limit Racing feature win of the season. Courtney beat Brad Sweet at the finish with James McFadden capturing third. "The last time I ran here, I won in a Midget (in 2016) and it's pretty cool to come back in a winged car and have success," the ninth-starting Courtney said in victory lane. "That was fun, a lot of fun." Courtney, driving for Clauson Marshall Racing, finished two seconds clear at the checkers as he pulled away from Brad Sweet and the rest after taking the lead on lap 25. He was the fourth and final leader of the 30-lapper. 8 - Chris Simpson wins MLRA Fall Nationals finale and Taylor bags Big Buck 50: Chris Simpson's weekend of settling for second-best at the Lucas Oil MLRA Fall Nationals took a positive turn as the veteran Iowa driver found his way to victory lane on the third and final night of action. Simpson wrested the lead away from his older brother and MLRA points leader Chris Simpson on lap 19. He held it the rest of the way and went on to claim his second series victory of the season and second career MLRA victory at Lucas Oil Speedway. It was worth $10,000 as the co-headliner with the 8th annual Super Stocks Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt. The return of the Big Buck 50 after a four-year break saw a familiar winner. Peyton Taylor of Batesville, Ark., grabbed the $10,000 victory to go with his Big Buck victories in 2019 and 2020. He took command on lap 15 and led the rest of the way. Taylor also earned a spot in the sold-out Whitetail Trophy Hunt next month in mid-Missouri, which pays $15,000 to win. Chris Simpson capped a weekend of perseverance after finishing runner-up to Ryan Gustin two nights in a row. He said a poor qualifying performance left him displeased and with a lot of work to do, starting the final-nigh feature in eighth. "We love coming here," Simpson said. "I just have to thank all my guys. It's a good way to end it. We've been working hard all year. Taylor, who also won the last Big Buck 50 at Wheatland, took command from Terry Schultz on lap 15 and, driving a car borrowed from Jared Neiswander after Taylor's car was plagued by motor issues on both preliminary nights, was never seriously threatened the rest of the way. "To go back to back to back, it's pretty surreal," Taylor said. "Thank you all for bringing this back. This is a special event for a lot of us grassroots racers and I think everybody here had a fun time." 9 - Bubak, Doney score first Hockett-McMillin Memorial wins: The 14th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial saw a pair of first-winners. Jake Bubak emerged from an early three-car battle, wound up leading 24 of 25 laps and held off a late charge from Scott Bogucki to capture the POWRi 410 Sprint feature. Meanwhile, Xavier Doney made the leap from race runner-up a year ago into victory lane in the POWRi WAR Sprint division. "This is really special," said Bubak, of Arvada, Colo., after earning $10,000. "The Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial is a big one, probably the biggest memorial race in sprint cars." The Hockett-McMillin Memorial pays tribute to the legacy of Jesse Hockett of Warsaw, Mo., who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006. One year after finishing as the runner-up and with some other near-misses in this race, Doney of Odessa, Mo., was able to get it done in the wingless portion Doney took over the lead with 10 laps remaining and held off Jesse Vermillion of Greencastle, Ind., in a three-lap shootout after a late-race restart, to earn the $4,077 victory. 10 - Joe Chisholm takes USRA Nationals finale: Four nights of racing culminated with championship features in five divisions at Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday night, with the Summit USRA Nationals hitting the finish line. The big winner was young Iowa driver Joe Chisholm, who took command late in the USRA Modified feature and went on to capture the top prize of $4,000. Other winners were Jon Sheets in USRA B-Mods, Josh Cain in USRA Stock Cars, Oliver Monson in USRA Tuners and Jeremy Crimmins for the USRA Hobby Stocks. Ninth-starting Chisholm of Osage, Iowa, seized the lead on lap 39 and drove away after a restart. He beat J.T. Wasmund and Nic Bidinger for the biggest victory of his rookie USRA Modified season. Chisholm, 18, earned $4,000 for feature win No. 12 in 2024. He took the lead when dueling with USRA Modified national points leader Tyler Wolff as Wolff spun after he drifted too high in turn two. 11 - Fennewald collects bounty in Late Models: Johnny Fennewald of Appleton City led all 20 laps to capture the Hermitage Lumber POWRi Late Model feature Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Fennewald ended Justin Wells' feature win streak at six and claimed a $500 bounty in beating the reigning track champion. Wells was involved in a lap-six incident and had to restart at the rear of the field. He wound up seventh - but the way Fennewald was on a rail throughout it probably would not have mattered. While the bounty money was nice, Fennewald said he wishes he could have won it by outrunning Wells. "Honestly, I wouldn't even care if they paid me that bounty after this week; I want to race door-to-door and outrun him," Fennewald said of Wells, who would go on to win 11 features and another track championship. 12 - Logan Smith earns first win in unique format: Logan Smith of El Dorado Springs capitalized on a unique format and captured his first career feature victory in dominating fashion Saturday night. Smith, 20, ran away from the field to capture the second Twin 20 in the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods after veteran Jon Sheets of Nevada grabbed the first 20-lap win. Both drivers took home $1,000 in the format which saw the 18 on the lead lap to finish the opener inverted, via fan vote, for the second feature. Smith was ecstatic in victory lane after hugging the bottom line while leading all 20 laps for his landmark personal victory. "I just tried to stay smooth and not slip up," Smith said. One for the road - Sweet rolls in High Limit Racing makeup: Before the final week of action in the The Kubota High Limit Racing season arrived, Brad Sweet already had clinched the season championship. Now he's added a couple of exclamation points to his title while in the Show-Me State. Sweet followed up his Tuesday-night triumph at I-70 Speedway in Odessa with a convincing feature victory on Wednesday at Lucas Oil Speedway's Diamond Classic. The Grass Valley, Calif., Winged Sprint veteran led 31 of 35 laps to earn $25,000 in the makeup of an event rained out at Wheatland on June 29th.

  Kubota High Limit Racing season champ Sweet wins Diamond Classic makeup at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 9, 2024) - Before the final week of action in the The Kubota High Limit Racing season arrived, Brad Sweet already had clinched the season championship. Now he's added a couple of exclamation points to his title while in the Show-Me State. Sweet followed up his Tuesday-night triumph at I-70 Speedway in Odessa with a convincing feature victory on Wednesday at Lucas Oil Speedway's Diamond Classic. The Grass Valley, Calif., Winged Sprint veteran led 31 of 35 laps to earn $25,000 in the makeup of an event rained out at Wheatland on June 29th. "I'm really excited that we got to come back to Lucas Oil and complete the event," Sweet said after his ninth Kubota High Limit Racing feature win of the season. "Thanks to the crowd for coming out on a Wednesday night." Courtney, the Night 1 Diamond Classic winner on June 28 before severe weather wiped out the action the next night, couldn't quite pull off the delayed sweep. The Indianapolis resident said a poor first part of the race left him too much work to do. He settled for $10,000. "I think we were a little bit better here earlier in the year," Courtney said. "We got good at the end of the feature. We went from the pole to sixth or seventh and just had to dig deep. That last yellow, it was nice to start behind Brad, but clean air was a huge factor. They've been on it, really all year. Congrats to Brad and their whole team." Sweet, starting outside Courtney on row one, sprinted to the lead as the green flew and set the pace through four laps, with fourth-starting Ryan Timms running second. A red flag came out after Brent Marks flipped his car on the backstretch to halt the action. Action settled into a rhythm after the restart with Sweet holding on to a narrow lead until lap 10, when Timms took over the lead with an outside pass out of turn two. The 18-year-old Timms had a .069-second lead when action was stopped again on lap 13 as Kerry Madsen hit the wall in turn four. During the caution, Timms pulled into the hot pits to surrender the lead back to Sweet for the restart on lap 14. Timms, winner of the 2023 Hockett-McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway, had a side panel come loose and had to restart at the rear. He eventually rallied to 10th. "We got a little luck there with Ryan," Sweet said. "Sometimes it falls your way. I got control of the race and kind of changed my lines up and tried to carry more speed. "This track's really weird. You think you're gonna slow down and get gripped up, but it doesn't work that way here. Figuring this track out, it's new to a lot of us, but it's a beautiful facility." Sweet needed only three laps to open a 1.5-second lead over Tanner Thorson with Spencer Bayston third. The trio remained in that order until lap 25, when Courtney moved past Bayston for third, with Sweet having opened a two-second lead over Thorson. The second-running Thorson's chances went up in smoke on lap 27 when he slowed, fluid pouring from the motor. That elevated Courtney to second and Bayston to third with eight laps remaining. Sweet had a smooth restart and held off Courtney the rest of the way, earning the victory by .825 seconds. "We slumped in the middle of the season, but we've been strong for a while now," Sweet said. "It's nice to get the wins. The hard work pays off. It's such a grind throughout the year. We're gonna finish the year out strong." Two series races remain, this Friday and Saturday at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track. Bayston wound up third with Corey Day fourth and Kasey Kahne fifth. "We've been clicking them off," Bayston said after his fifth straight top-five High Limit Racing feature finish. "Everything is kind of flowing right now and we're unloading fast. It's been fun. "We had a really good car on that last restart and had the top to myself, but (Courtney) took it away from us but we'll be happy to take home a top-three and continue this streak." Cory Eliason of Visalia, Calif., set the fast qualifying time with a lap of 12.957 seconds, just off the track record of 12.829 set by Rico Abreu on June 29th of this year.

  Chris Simpson earns MLRA Fall Nationals feature as Peyton Taylor bags Super Stocks Big Buck 50 triumph

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 5, 2024) - Chris Simpson's weekend of settling for second-best at the Lucas Oil MLRA Fall Nationals took a positive turn as the veteran Iowa driver found his way to victory lane Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Simpson wrested the lead away from his older brother and MLRA points leader Chris Simpson on lap 19. He held it the rest of the way and went on to claim his second series victory of the season and second career MLRA victory at Lucas Oil Speedway. It was worth $10,000 as the co-headliner with the 8th annual Super Stocks Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt. The return of the Big Buck 50 after a four-year break saw a familiar winner. Peyton Taylor of Batesville, Ark., grabbed the $10,000 victory to go with his Big Buck victories in 2019 and 2020. He took command on lap 15 and led the rest of the way. Taylor also earned a spot in the sold-out Whitetail Trophy Hunt next month in mid-Missouri, which pays $15,000 to win. Chris Simpson capped a weekend of perseverance after finishing runner-up to Ryan Gustin two nights in a row. He said a poor qualifying performance left him displeased and with a lot of work to do, starting the final-nigh feature in eighth. "We love coming here," Simpson said. "I just have to thank all my guys. It's a good way to end it. We've been working hard all year. "I'm missing my daughter's homecoming tonight, but at least I'm bringing 10 grand home," Simpson added. Chad Simpson led in the early going, with a 1.7-second margin by lap 10 over Dustin Hodges and eighth-starting Chris Simpson. Chad Simpson caught lapped traffic by lap 14 and Chris Simpson closed in on his back bumper with Scott third and Tony Jackson Jr. fourth. The first and what would be the only lead change came on lap 19 as Chris Simpson, charging from eighth at the start, took over the top spot coming off turn four. Chris Simpson's lead was 1.2 seconds over Scott when the race's lone caution flew on lap 30 as Gustin - the feature winner the previous two nights - slowed on the front stretch while running 10th. "I don't know what happened to Ryan," Chris Simpson said. "I figured if he finished, he's probably in the top three. It would have been fun to battle it out with him. We both were good all weekend, but to top it off with the $10,000, I'll take it." With a clear track ahead, Chris Simpson took off after the restart to a one-second lead lead over Scott with Chad Simpson another two seconds behind the top duo. Scott rallied to within a half-second with seven to go, with Jackson moving into third. As the race closed under a long green-flag run, Simpson held on and beat Scott by one second. "We feel like we have qualifying figured out, we're trying now what we need on these new cars when the race track dries out on a longer race," Scott said. "Congrats to Chris and them. Hopefully we can come do this agan and get into victory lane." Jackson wound up third with Urbana's Dillon McCowan fourth after starting 16th. Chad Simpson, after leading the first 18 laps, settled for fifth. "We had a good car all weekend, I just can't qualify well here for whatever reason," Jackson said. "A good race track and a fun race track and we had a really good race car." Jackson made some gains in the MLRA championship chase by finishing two spots ahead of Chad Simpson. Jackson now trails Simpson by 75, with Chris Simpson 65 behind his brother, as three series races remain. Hodges set the fast qualifying time with a 14.479-second lap to lead Group A. That was near the track record of 14.443 set by Garrett Alberson on May 23, 2024 on Night 1 of the Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 weekend. Taylor earns another Big Buck 50: A four-year break in between renditions of the Super Stocks Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt didn't alter who went to victory lane, but the route to get there was unique. Peyton Taylor, who won the race in 2019 and 2020, had to use a provisional to get into the field. He drove from 25th and last to start all the way to the lead well before the halfway mark of the 50-lapper. Taylor took command from Terry Schultz on lap 15 and, driving a car borrowed from Jared Neiswander after Taylor's car was plagued by motor issues on both preliminary nights, was never seriously threatened the rest of the way. "To go back to back to back, it's pretty surreal," Taylor said. "Thank you all for bringing this back. This is a special event for a lot of us grassroots racers and I think everybody here had a fun time. "Jared is one of my good buddies and he said, 'man, I ain't racing it, you're racing it.' Thanks to him, his dad, his family and all these great sponsors on this car." Pole-starting Gary Clark led the first three laps before fellow front-row starter Schultz grabbed the top spot on lap four. Tosh moved into second on lap five as Schultz led by 1.6 seconds. Schultz, winner of the inaugural Big Buck 50 in 2014, had a 1.65-second lead over Tosh when action was slowed by a caution on lap nine as Colton Bourland's car caught fire under the rear end. After the restart, Schultz rolled to a 2.3-second lead by lap 14, when another caution flew. But the big news at that point was Taylor's charge from 25th to third. Taylor needed only one more lap to complete his last-to-first run, taking over the lead on lap 15 as Schultz slid all the way back to fourth. As the race continued into its longest green-flag run, Taylor's lead was 2.2 seconds by lap 40 with Tony Anglin running behind J.T. Carroll. As the laps dwindled, Taylor's lead started to shrink until Carroll got hung up in lapped traffic. That helped Taylor increase his margin to 4.7 seconds with two remaining. But the comfortable drive to the checkers became a bit more dramatic when a caution flew just before the white flag was ready to appear. "I talked to God on about every caution, but we had a couple of good conversations on that last yellow," Taylor said. "I've got to give all the glory to God. We're all blessed beyond what we're worth and I can't give enough glory to Him." It didn't matter as Taylor had a flawless restart and went on to finish clear of Carroll by 1.7 seconds. Carroll was disqualified in post-race technical inspection, elevating Derek Brown to second. Anglin was third with Josh Jones fourth and Richie Tosh fifth.

  CHRIS SIMPSON ROLLS TO $10,000 VICTORY IN MLRA FALL NATIONALS FINALE

  Wheatland, MO (October 5, 2024) - After playing the role of bridesmaid the prior two nights, Chris Simpson proved to be the man to beat on Saturday night in winning the $10,000 finale of the 2024 MLRA "Fall Nationals" at the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO. The Oxford, IA driver was buried deep in the field following MyRacePass qualifying, but managed to race from fifth to the runner up position in his heat race, good enough to put him into the 8th starting position for the feature. Dustin Hodges grabbed his second MRP Fast Time award of the season and started from the pole, alongside of Stormy Scott for the 50 lap feature event. On the initial start, Scott jumped before entering the Nutrien Ag Solutions Start Zone, resulting in a one row penalty that moved point leader Chad Simpson to the outside front row. Chad Simpson would capitalize, and took control on the opening lap with Hodges in tow. By lap 12 Chad Simpson had to begin working his way through lapped traffic, all the while Chris Simpson was methodically working his way toward the front along the low line. The brotherly battle would heat up with Chris making his way into second on lap 11 setting up a battle between them as they navigated lapped traffic. Chris Simpson made the Swift Springs Move of the race on lap 18 when he charged to the inside of Chad Simpson and took the lead exiting turn four. The lone caution of the night waved on lap 30, when Ryan Gustin slowed on the front stretch. Gustin would exit the track under his own power, retiring from the main event where he would be scored in 20th in the final run down after winning the first two nights of the Fall Nationals. After dropping to as low as 6th on lap 12, Stormy Scott was the only driver in the closing laps to apply pressure to the back bumper of Chris Simpson. After restarting in second, Scott was able to close to within a couple of car lengths in the closing laps, but Chris Simpson would go on to capture his second MLRA win of the season by 1.008 seconds over Scott. Tony Jackson Jr. grabbed his first podium finish of the weekend with a third-place run, ahead of Dillon McCowan and Chad Simpson.

Photo Credit: Todd Boyd Chris Simpson added the MD3 Most Laps Led contingency to his portfolio in the dominating performance that found him to be unbeatable on Saturday night. "If you would have told me that (being unbeatable) after we qualified, I would say you were nuts, we timed really bad." "This was a good way to end it," Simpson said of his weekend. "We have been working hard all year and had speed, just kind of stupid stuff happened like last time we were here, we broke the power steering line during our warm up lap and kind of ruined our points deal." Chad Simpson now holds a 65-point advantage heading into the final three races of the season, while Chris Simpson moves to second after entering the weekend with a 200 point deficit. Tony Jackson Jr. also made-up ground, after entering the weekend 100 points behind Chad Simpson he now rests just 75 points from a third career MLRA championship. Scott's runner up was his second top five finish of the weekend, finishing no worse than 7th in the three night affair. "We feel like we have qualifying figured out, we're just trying to work on figuring out what we need on these new cars for when the race track starts to dry out and in these longer races. We were definitely better tonight, there was more moisture in it for sure but I think we found some gains. Hopefully we can come do this again and put it in victory lane." Jackson's podium run marked his 9th top five finish of the season. "We had a good car all weekend, I just can't qualify here for whatever reason. I should probably work on that for as many times as we come here," exclaimed Jackson. "It was a good race track, a fun race track, and we had a great car tonight," he concluded. Lucas Oil MLRA action will resume this Thursday October 10th, when the series makes a visit to the I-70 Speedway in Odessa, MO for a $7,000 to win feature event. The 2024 season will then close out with two big nights of racing on Friday and Saturday at the Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, IL for the annual "MLRA Championship Weekend".

  REAPER DOMINATION--RYAN GUSTIN RUNS AWAY WITH MLRA FALLS NATIONALS NIGHT #2 WIN

  Wheatland, MO (October 4, 2024) - For the second consecutive night, the "Reaper" Ryan Gustin proved to be too tough to tame, as the Marshalltown, Iowa driver cruised to his 12th career Lucas Oil MLRA victory in the second of three nights for the MLRA Fall Nationals at the Lucas Oil Speedway. Gustin started the 30 lapper from the outside of row two after winning the nights fourth heat race. MLRA point leader Chad Simpson started the race from the pole alongside of MyRacePass Fast Time award winner Stormy Scott. Simpson jumped to the race lead from the onset with Scott running in second, until giving way to Gustin on lap three for the runner up spot. With Simpson maintaining the race lead, the nights only caution slowed the pace on lap seven when Payton Looney made hard contact with the turn four wall, bringing his night to an early ending. With Simpson and Gustin showing the way, all eyes were on up & coming driver Tyler Kuykendall who had raced from his sixth starting position to third at the time of the caution, and was testing Gustin for second. On the restart Simpson moved back to the point, but it was only a matter of laps before Gustin found a rhythm along the top side of the Lucas Oil Speedway. Chad Simpson would slip up in turn 1 and 2, opening the door for Gustin to have a monster run off the exit of turn two, putting the Todd Cooney Motorsports 19r out front for the first time on the night. Gustin would stretch out the advantage through lapped traffic in the closing laps to cash in on another $5,000 pay day by a margin of 5.379 seconds. "He was good there," Gustin commented of the early race battle with Chad Simpson. "I thought I about put him through the fence there when I through that slider, I didn't know if it was going to stick or not but it did." Chad Simpson 3rd (Left), Ryan Gustin 1st (Center), Chris Simpson 2nd (Right). Photo Credit: Todd Boyd Chris Simpson raced his way from tenth into a podium position and eventually into the second spot for the second night in a row after passing brother Chad with just five laps to go. "We felt good," explained Chris Simpson. "We just didn't qualify where we needed. We had to work our way up through there, and got up there pretty good. The felt good, we had to do a little more to it today than we did yesterday and it felt good. It's just when Ryan starts up front you ain't going to catch him. This would be two wins for us if Ryan would've stay home, but we'll take it," joked Simpson. "He's a hell of a racer and he has proven this year that they are the best of the best, so to come out here and run second to him twice, we'll take it." Chad Simpson completed the nights podium in third while Justin Wells finished in fourth, his second straight top four run. Kuykendall would manage to hold onto 5th for his first career top five run with the Lucas Oil MLRA in just his first full year of open late model racing. "Tonight was probably better than the last five races we've had so we're getting our stride back and getting closer, we're just still a tick off," noted Chad Simpson. "I think them guys found something a little better on the bottom than I did. I tried to go down there but I just felt like I had to whoa up so much to run down there. We definitely need to get a little better to run the bottom here and get around here just a little better. Hopefully I fixed my entry and we will get better." Saturday night will put a cap on the MLRA "Fall Nationals" weekend. Action will include another complete show, culminating with a $10,000 to win and $700 to start 50 lap main event.

  Gustin does it again at Lucas Oil MLRA Fall Nationals as front of Big Buck 50 field set

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 4, 2024) - Ryan Gustin's domination of the Lucas Oil MLRA Fall Nationals continued on Friday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Gustin, of Marshalltown, Iowa, beat Chris Simpson - just as did on Thursday - to pick up another $5,000 prize. Gustin will go for the sweep on Saturday night with $10,000 at stake while Simpson, and others, try to turn the tables. "This would have been two wins for us if Ryan would have stayed home," 10th-starting Chris Simpson said with a chuckle. "But we'll take it. He's a hell of a racer and he's proven this year that he's the best of the best." Gustin earned his 12th overall feature win of the season and his 12th career Lucas Oil MLRA victory. Half of those MLRA wins have come at Lucas Oil Speedway. Gustin took over the lead from Chad Simpson on lap 13 and dominated the 30-lapper from there, winning by 5.37 seconds over Chris Simpson in a race that had only one caution, on lap seven. "Hats off to everybody that helps out on this deal," Gustin said. "We did some things tonight that we'd never done before and didn't know if it was going to work or not. We figured we might as well see if it works tonight versus trying for $10,000 tomorrow. "We might have went a little bit too far and might back off it just a little bit. The car was good. The Infinity Chassis is on rails the Jay Dickens motor is running smooth." Meanwhile, in the 8th annual Super Stocks Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt portion of the program, heat races and dash races were held to determine the first 16 starting positions for Saturday night's main event. Both the MLRA Late Models and Super Stocks will hold 50-lap, $10,000-to-win features. The Late Models will have a full program with time trials, heat races and B Mains leading into the main event; Super Stocks will run last-chance qualifiers prior to its feature. Pits gates will open at 4 p.m. Saturday with grandstands at 4:30, hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. The fourth-starting Gustin took over second from Stormy Scott on lap three and was a half-second behind early leader, pole-starting Chad Simpson as the Late Model action got going. Sailing around the oval on the high side, Simpson led by .425 seconds over Gustin when caution flew on lap seven after Payton Looney walloped the wall in turn four while running fifth. As action resumed, Chad Simpson regained his modest margin over Gustin with sixth-starting Tyler Kuykendall up to third. Gustin nearly took the lead on lap 11 with a daring slider in turns three and four, but wound up having to regroup. "He was good," Gustin said of Chad Simpson. "I about put it through the fence there with that slider. I didn't know if it was gonna stick or not, but it did." Gustin finally took over the lead on lap 13, going past Simpson on the inside of turn two when the race-long leader slipped a bit high. Once in front, it didn't take Gustin long to drive away. He opened a three-second lead by lap 18 and, with the race remaining caution-free, was clear by 4.059 seconds by lap 25. Gustin kept pouring it on to outdistance Chris Simpson by nearly a straightaway by the finish with Chad Simpson falling back to third. "When your car is that good, it makes it easy as the driver," Gustin said. Chad Simpson enjoyed a solid points night with his third-place finish. Justin Wells was fourth and Kuykendall fifth. "It's way better than probably the last five races we've had," Chad Simpson said. "We're getting our stride back. We're getting closer, but still just a tick off. Ryan comes in here and he's one of the best out there right now. We're close. We're not far off." Chad Simpson was able to increase his points lead from 55 points to 90 in the MLRA title chase over Tony Jackson Jr., who was ninth. There are four series races remaining as Chad Simpson seeks his third straight championship and fifth overall. Stormy Scott of Las Cruces, N.M., set fast overall qualifying time for the second straight night. He led Group B with a time of 15.318 seconds. Scott would up seventh in the feature. Clark, Schultz earn front-row spots for Big Buck 50 feature: Gary Clark of Walker, Mo., and Terry Schultz of Sedalia nailed down front-row starting positions for the Super Stocks Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt main event. Clark captured the Steve Scott Concrete Dash, featuring first and second-place finishers from the first four heat races held on Friday. Clark's win over Jacob Rexing earned him the inside starting spot on row one. In the Lucas Oil Speedway Dash, with the top two finishers from heats 5-through-8, Schultz outran Richie Tosh to the win to nail down the outside spot of row one. Schultz won the inaugural Big Buck 50 in 2014. All 16 of the dash drivers clinched spots in the starting field of the $10,000-to-win, 50-lap feature on Saturday. Four B-Features will determine the final starters in the Big Buck main event. Past Big Buck 50 winners: 2020 - Peyton Taylor, Batesville, Ark. 2019 - Peyton Taylor, Batesville, Ark. 2018 - Rained out 2017 - Tony Anglin, Walnut Ridge, Ark. 2016 - Tim Brown, Stoutland, Mo. 2015 - Jeremy Russell, Jonesboro, Ark. 2014 - Terry Schultz, Warrensburg, Mo.

  Gustin outduels Chris Simpson for Night 1 victory at MLRA Fall Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 3, 2024) - Ryan Gustin regained the lead for good on lap 21 and held off Chris Simpson over the final nine laps to find victory lane Thursday night in the Lucas Oil Speedway Fall Nationals opener at Lucas Oil Speedway. Gustin, of Marshalltown, Iowa, picked up $5,000 for his 11th career MLRA feature win, five of which have come at Lucas Oil Speedway. He beat Simpson, of Oxford, Iowa, by half a second with local weekly track champion Justin Wells of Aurora improving 10 positions to capture third. "It's a love-hate relationship here," Gustin said of his Lucas Oil Speedway MLRA history. "Sometimes we're almost unstoppable here and other times we don't make the show. Hopefully, we can just keep it rolling and be here the rest of the weekend." The 8th annual Super Stocks Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt also got going Thursday night with practice and time trials to set the lineup for heat races and two dash races on Friday night. The MLRA also will have another full program on Friday, paying $5,000 to win. Both divisions will wrap things up Saturday night with 50-lap, $10,000-to-win main events. From the start of the MLRA feature, it was a battle between Gustin and Simpson. As the green flag flefw, Simpson led the opening lap, but inside front-row starter Jon Binning spun in turn two of lap two for the race's first caution. Several cars dodged Binning in what could have been a multi-car incident. The restart saw Simpson off and running to a 1.1-second lead over Gustin by lap five with Stormy Scott third. The fourth-starting Gustin started to cut into the margin and was right behind Simpson by lap eight when the second caution appeared for a Jeff Herzog spin. Gustin fired strong on the restart and took to the high side and was able to clear Simpson for the lead coming off turn two on lap 11. Simpson battled back on the inside and the two raced side by side for the next three laps before Gustin edged out to a three-car-length lead. Simpson trailed by a half-second when the third caution waved on lap 16 as Chad Simpson, the MLRA championship leader, spun in turn two as he was running eighth. Chris Simpson regained the top spot on lap 20, but Gustin went right back around him on the outside the next time around. That would be the final lead change as those two pulled away from the field as action remained green the rest of the way. "I seen (Simpson's) signal guy move him down, so I figured we were just gonna crack the whip and run the cushion and hope for the best," Gustin said. "It all worked out." "Ryan was below me and I was like if Ryan's good down there then I can be really good down there," Simpson said. "I moved down on that restart, but I probably should have run that top one lap, just to stop him from getting a run." Gustin desperately held on as the duo dealt with lapped cars on the final lap. Simpson's momentum was stopped entering turn three by a slower car. "Either way it was a good race," Simpson said. "I was a little better than him in (turns) three and four. I think we might have had something on that last lap, but (a car) was in the way. But we'll take it. It's a three-night weekend. To get second tonight is still a good night for us." Gustin prevailed by two car lengths as the pivotal weekend in the MLRA championship chase began. Chris Simpson began the action third in points, 200 behind the leader, his brother Chad Simpson who settled for 14th after his spin. Chad Simpson unofficially leads Tony Jackson Jr. by 55 and Chris Simpson by 130 with five series races remaining. Wells, the Lucas Oil Speedway Weekly Series Late Model champ, finished four seconds back in third. Wells beat Stormy Scott and Jackson, who were fourth and fifth. Afterward, Wells told a story about running an MLRA race at Lucas Oil Speedway shortly after the track opened nearly 20 years ago. He led most of it before being passed late by Rex McCroskey, a two-time MLRA series champ, who died over the weekend. "I led that thing almost to the end and No. 64 passed me," said Wells, who had a small No. 64 in blue over his larger, yellow No. 49 on his race car as a tribute to McCroskey. "I just want to say, 'Rex, thanks for being a good guy. We're gonna miss you.' He was a good racer." Stormy Scott of Las Cruces, N.M., set fast overall qualifying time with a 14.793 on Group A. Chris Simpson's 15.155 paced Group B. In the Super Stocks qualifying, both top qualifiers in the respective groups hail from Jonesboro, Ark. Jeremy Russell paced Group A with a lap time of 19.478 seconds and Jared Hays led Group B with the fast time overall at 19.130. Sixty-three Super Stocks posted qualifying laps on Thursday night in the renewal of the Big Buck, which last was held in 2020.

  RYAN GUSTIN TOPS MLRA FALL NATIONALS OPENER AT LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY

  Wheatland, MO (October 3, 2024) - Ryan Gustin survived a back-and-forth battle for the lead and a late race charge from Chris Simpson to score the opening night win in the MLRA "Fall Nationals" on Thursday at the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO. Not only was the action intense at the top, the drama also continued in the Championship Chase throughout the night, with multiple top five drivers having their struggles while others found a way to capitalize with just five races remaining on the 2024 season. Jon Binning brought the field to the green for the 30-lap main event along side of Chris Simpson. Simpson grab the lead on the initial circuit, and as the field completed lap one it was Binning losing grip and spinning in turns one and two to bring out the nights first of three cautions. Simpson again grabbed control and was able to maintain the advantage over fourth stating Gustin and Stormy Scott, before a Jeff Herzog spin slowed the pace again on lap 8. With Gustin closing ground just prior to the caution, he picked up where he left off and took his first lead of the night on lap 11. Trouble next struck MLRA point leader Chad Simpson on lap 16 when he spun to the infield with 14 laps to go while running in 8th. Simpson would visit the hot pit before returning and finishing in 15th. Gustin again jumped back to the point on the final restart of the night, but it was Chris Simpson finding his way back out front on lap twenty for the second time on the night. That lead would be short lived as Gustin once again raced back by for the top spot just one lap later. Simpson would continue to pressure Gustin for the lead in the closing laps, circling the low line while Gustin moved to the top side. Lap traffic on the final lap would block any advances by Simpson, as Gustin drove to his 11th career Lucas Oil MLRA victory, and 5th all-time in Wheatland. Simpson's second place run, allowed him to close back in on the championship battle taking a 200-point deficit down to just 120 heading into Friday night. Lucas Oil Speedway champion Justin Wells raced from 13th to round out the podium in third. Stormy Scott would hold on for 4th while Tony Jackson Jr. finished in 5th, closing to within just 55 points of Midwest Sheet Metal Point Leader Chad Simpson.

Photo Credit: Todd Boyd "This is a different tire combination than what we normally run here with the four on the right rear and twos everywhere else ," explained Gustin. "It's definitely a different ballgame compared to what were used to running on, but we'll go to work on it and make it better for tomorrow." For Gustin, the advantage may have been running in second which allowed him to watch the moves of Simpson early in the going. "I seen his (Chris Simpson) signal guy move him down there and I figured we were just going to crack the whip and run the cushion and hope for the best, and tonight it all worked out," he concluded. As for his success at the Lucas Oil Speedway he continued, "it's a love hate relationship here I guess. Sometimes where almost unstoppable here and other times we don't even make the show, so hopefully we can keep it rolling and be standing here again tomorrow night." Simpson's runner up finish marked his third MLRA podium of the season and second at the Lucas Oil Speedway. "You get out in the lead there and then I seen Ryan below me and I knew if Ryan was good down there I could be really good down there," noted Simpson. "I moved down there on that restart, and I probably should have ran the top one lap to stop him from getting a run, but either way it was a good race. We were a little better down here in three and four than he was and I think we might have had something there on that las lap but Kayden was in the way, so we'll take it. It's a three-night weekend, so to get second tonight you know is still a good night for us." The MLRA Fall Nationals continues on Friday night with another complete $5,000 to win main event. Action for the weekend will conclude at the Diamond of Dirt Tracks on Saturday night with the $10,000 MLRA finale, along with the $10,000 to win feature event for the "Big Buck 50" Super Stocks.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Army vet Welschmeyer hitting his stride as Big Buck 50 renewal arrives

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 1, 2024) - Ted Welschmeyer got a later start on his racing career than most, sitting behind the wheel of his first race car at the age of 28 after a stint in the United States Army. "Growing up as a kid … I always wanted to do it. It just took me a long time to get there," Welschmeyer said of driving a race car. "I didn't have the money or backing. I finally just decided that I was gonna go racing. "We started at California (Double X Speedway) and we had to borrow a truck and trailer every weekend to go. But you either decide to do it or you don't." Now a quarter of a century later, Welschmeyer is having the best season of his career. The residence of Tebbetts in central Missouri, near Jefferson City, recently clinched the POWRi Super Stocks points championship with a second straight track championship at Callaway Raceway. "I"m very blessed over the last 24 years to have a lot of people help me and a wife (Vickie) who's every understanding, who lets me put a lot of time and money into this," Welschmeyer said. "I'm just a very blessed guy." Welschmeyer, 53, will be one to keep an eye on this week at the 8th annual Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt returns to Lucas Oil Speedway. The Big Buck will be run Thursday through Saturday, in conjunction with the Lucas Oil MLRA Fall Nationals. Both divisions will wrap things up Saturday night with 50-lap, $10,000-to-win main events. Like others, Welschmeyer was thrilled with the announcement that the Big Buck 50 was returning after its popular run ended in 2020. Since that time, Welschmeyer had made tremendous strides, especially the last two years, with him home-built Super Stock chassis. While he had a pair of top-10 finishes in past Big Buck 50s, Welschmeyer said a key to his recent success in the division has been from the research and development side. "We've gone to some chassis seminars with KR Promotions and Scotty Allen," he said. "We've learned a lot. We're running the car we built three years ago and applied some of the stuff we've learned, just trying to educate ourselves better and it's paid off tremendously." At the Full Fender Challenge at Lucas Oil Speedway in mid-August, Welschmeyer didn't have the run he wanted, finishing 12th in the feature that combined the Super Stocks with USRA Stock Cars. He had a 10th-place run in the Super Stocks main event. Neither finish was anything to brag about, but Welschmeyer came away with some knowledge of how to improve in October. "We had a different motor and we geared it a little different," Welschmeyer said of the August event. "This motor doesn't make quite the torque that the other one did. We learned that we have to change our gearing. It was every educational. We ended up making both features, so it was good. There was some stiff competition there that weekend." While he's raced most seasons since 2000, Welschmeyer was taken off track by a couple of tours in Iraq while he remained in the Army Reserves after retiring from full-time Army duty. But now he's not only racing, but succeeding with 10 overall feature wins this season. He's helped in his racing pursuits by by long-time crew members Madison Oligschlaegar and Matt Oliver.

  LUCAS OIL MLRA SET TO TACKLE "FALL NATIONALS" TRIPLE HEADER WEEKEND  

  Wheatland, Missouri (September 30, 2024) - The Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) is headed towards one of the biggest weekends of the year, as the series returns to the Lucas Oil Speedway for one final round of action this upcoming weekend. For the first time since 2020 the MLRA "Fall Nationals" returns to the Diamond of Dirt Tracks, and for the first time in series history it comes in the form of a triple header weekend. With just two weekends remaining on the 2024 schedule for the Lucas Oil MLRA, one thing is for certain—a wide open points battle still looms for the top spot. This weekends action will kick off two consecutive 3-day weekends of racing, breaking the season down into a six-race battle to the championship. The MLRA "Falls Nationals" will take center stage at the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO October 3rd, 4th, & 5th with three complete shows on tap. Thursday nights portion was originally slated as only a practice night for the MLRA teams, but after a long list of early season rain outs track and series officials decided to turn Thursday into a full $5,000 to win feature event to get the weekend started a day early. Friday night will again showcase the MLRA in another $5,000 to win 30 lap main event, before drivers tighten the belts one notch tighter for a $10,000 to win and $700 to start 50 lap finale on Saturday night. This weekend will mark the 8th time since 2014 that the Lucas Oil Speedway has hosted the October race weekend for the MLRA. Only Jesse Stovall (4) and Ryan Gustin (3) have multiple wins during the fall classic event. Both current Championship point leaders Chad Simpson (2018) and Tony Jackson Jr. (2019) are former event winners, along with the likes of Randy Timms, Billy Moyer Jr. and Bobby Pierce who scored his first ever MLRA win in the final night in 2016. Adding to the excitement of the weekend will be the return of the 8th Annual "Big Buck 50" featuring the Lucas Oil Super Stocks. Drivers will practice as well as qualify on Thursday night between late model action, run qualifying events on Friday night, and compete in their own 50 lap $10,000 to win main event on Saturday night. Turn Four News & Notes: MLRA "FALL NATIONALS" MyRacePass "Fast Time" BOUNS POINTS: The opening two laps of each night can play a large role in determining the season Championship, with the top driver in both Group "A" and "B" qualifying, or the overall fast time driver receiving 10 Championship Bonus Points. Thru 12 points events thus far Chad Simpson has managed to put 40 MRP Fast Time Bonus Points in his bank account, helping him to his current 100-point advantage over Tony Jackson Jr. 1,560 Up For Grabs—Championship Points That Is: Exactly 1/3 of the MLRA season will be contested over the final two weekends, leaving lots of room to climb to the top or find heartbreak depending on where your driver is sitting. It is possible to gain (or lose) 135 pts a night assuming all championship contenders start the "A" main, leaving a number of sleepless nights yet to come for the series top drivers. "Mr. Consistent.": Prior to the MLRA's last outing at the Davenport Speedway on September 14th, current Midwest Sheet Metal point leader Chad Simpson had not recorded a series finish outside of the top 12 in a non co-sanctioned event since an 18th place run on October 16, 2021. Crunching the numbers that's a remarkable span of 1,063 consecutive trips around the sun. 7-8-9-10 The Battle Continues: While a championship may be a mathematical stretch for the drivers currently sitting 7th thru 10th, they too are deep in a points battle of their own as the season draws to a close. After 12 rounds these drivers are separated by just 75 markers, or a point fund difference of $1,500 come seasons end. Gordy Gundaker leads this group by 55 over leading Sunoco Rookie driver Aaron Marrant. From there it's only 10 back to Dustin Hodges and another 10 back to Steve Stultz. For these drivers, every position truly does matter from here on out.  MIDWEST SHEET METAL POINTS LEADER CHALLENGE STANDINGS: 1. Chad Simpson--- Mt. Vernon, IA 2.

(Sept. 21, 2024) - Four nights of racing culminated with championship features in five divisions at Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday night, with the Summit USRA Nationals hitting the finish line. The big winner was young Iowa driver Joe Chisholm, who took command late in the USRA Modified feature and went on to capture the top prize of $4,000. Other winners were Jon Sheets in USRA B-Mods, Josh Cain in USRA Stock Cars, Oliver Monson in USRA Tuners and Jeremy Crimmins for the USRA Hobby Stocks. Ninth-starting Chisholm of Osage, Iowa, seized the lead on lap 39 and drove away after a restart. He beat J.T. Wasmund and Nic Bidinger for the biggest victory of his rookie USRA Modified season. Chisholm, 18, earned $4,000 for feature win No. 12 in 2024. He took the lead when dueling with USRA Modified national points leader Tyler Wolff as Wolff spun after he drifted too high in turn two. Patience was a game plan for Chisholm, in his first season driving Modifieds. He hoped to save tire wear by running the low side of the track and gradually advance toward the front. "In my mind I was like 'I've got to save' and I knew people were gonna start losing tires up top and it was gonna eat 'em hard," Chisholm said. "I just had to keep running the bottom and told myself 'just be patient, just be patient.' I started running lower than everybody else and I could keep (passing) one car at a time." Bidinger took the lead on lap two and Wolff was dueling with him for the spot by lap five. Two laps later, Wolff roared to the front with a high-side pass around turn four. It didn't take long for Wolff to open up a 1.3-second lead just 10 circuits into the 50-lapper. The leaders caught lapped traffic by lap 12 and Wolff was able to keep his lead at just over a second as a lengthy green-flag run continued. Caution on lap 16 would wipe out Wolff's 1.28-second lead over Bidinger, with Kyle Brown third and Joe Chisholm fourth. Wolff blasted away on the restart to lead by more than a second in just two laps over Bidinger with Chisholm taking over third. Chisholm's charge continued as he sailed around the outside of Bidinger on lap 22, but Wolff was still well ahead with a 1.4-second command at the halfway point on lap 25. As the top duo navigated lapped traffic, Chisholm cut the deficit to one-half second by lap 35, while it was another five seconds back to third-running Bidinger. Wolff took to the high side in an effort to fend off Chisholm, but that's when disaster struck the man who led 35 laps. Wolff spun in turn two when he got over the cushion and headed for the pits for a tire change. That gave Chisholm the top spot over Bidinger and J.T. Wasmund with 11 to go. "I started hitting my marks and was slowly reeling him in," Chisholm said. "I drove a little hard to show my nose just to fluster him a little bit. I'm not sure what happened in turn two, but it was fixing to be a good race," Chisholm said. "It's been a really good year. Win or lose, I'm happy to be standing here. I've had some terrible luck here and I've brought that on myself. I forced some issues the past couple of nights and put myself in a position I shouldn't have been. Starting ninth wasn't too bad. You just have to look at the positive." Chisholm dominated after the restart, opening a three-second command by lap 45. He took it home from there, finishing 4.45 seconds over Wasmund with Bidinger third, Henry Chambers fourth and Al Hejna fifth. Sheets captures USRA B-Mods feature: Jon Sheets of Nevada made the decisive pass with 11 laps remaining and went on to beat Cody King for the $2,500 USRA B-Mod feature win. Sheets tracked King for most of the first 20 laps before making the inside groove work to take over on lap 24. King took the lead away from Franklin on lap two and rolled out to a 1.2-second lead by lap five. The first caution came out on lap nine, with King maintaining a one-second margin over Sheets with Morton up to third. As green-flag action resumed, Sheets closed in on King but was not able to pull alongside. Meanwhile, Colson Kirk moved into third, 2.3 seconds behind the leader. Sheets moved to the low side at about lap 20 and was able to pull alongside the lead and then make a pass coming to the start-finish line on lap 24. Those two drivers, who won preliminary night features, were well clear of the rest of the field. Sheets soon began to pull away during the long green-flag run. He opened a 1.5-second command by lap 30 and held on over the final five laps and beat King by 1.6 seconds as the checkers flew. Sheets said patience and taking care of tires was a key to the outcome. "That's a 35-lap race. I didn't cut up a right-rear too aggressive because it was a longer race and this place is hard on tires," Sheets said. "I didn't fire that great, but I knew if we could keep him in check we could probably reel him back in because that tire was gonna fire mid-race. Boy, it did. I could feel it come in and the car was really good." Morton finished third with Kirk fourth and Bobby Williams fifth. Cain hangs on in USRA Stock Cars: Josh Cain of Rio Rancho, N.M., took the lead five laps into the USRA Stock Cars feature and held it the rest of the way, claiming the $3,000 victory with his 34th feature win of the season. "It's been a great year. It's one of those years," said Cain, the USRA Stock Cars national points leader. "Some people don't ever get the opportunity to win a race, let alone do what we do every weekend. We're very fortunate. It's just one of those years." Cain grabbed the lead away from Jaylen Wettengel on lap five, diving to the inside for the pass out of turn four. It didn't take him long to open a 1.2-second lead, but a lap-eight caution took away his advantage. Jeremy Vaughn took second away from Wettengel on lap 10 and Cain led by 1.4 seconds when action slowed again on lap 11 with a yellow flag. With the race finally getting into some rhythm with green-flag action, Cain stretched his lead to 1.8 seconds by the midway point on lap 20. Cain was trying to turn the race into a runaway, extending his lead to 2.77 seconds by lap 23. That's when Jaylen Wettengel and Johnny Fennewald, batting in the top five, got together and spun entering turn three. Five more laps were run after the restart before another caution. This time, Cain had a 1.6-second lead over Vaughn with Waylon Dimmitt, Brandon Hare and Wettengel dueling for third. Vaughn made a run at Cain on lap 30, but Cain was able to hold on as he continued the drive the extreme low groove. Debris brought out a lap-33 caution, with Cain holding a .887-second lead. Cain handled the restart and held on the rest of the way, beating Dimmitt and Vaughn. The hard-charging Doug Keller advanced from 22nd to fourth and Pat Graham was fifth. "I didn't feel very good," Cain said. "I just got to the lead early enough and once I got there I kind of just stomped on the bottom. I could get off the corner a little bit better. They were out there in the rubber pushing hard, but I think they may have done it too early and got their tires burned up. Mine still look brand new." USRA Tuners win goes to Monson: Oliver Monson of Thornton, Iowa, dominated from start to finish in capturing the USRA Tuners feature. Monson earned $500 for the win. Monson led from the start and had a commanding three-second lead over Leasure when caution flew on lap 13. When action resumed, Monson was able to re-establish his comfortable margin as the laps dwindled. Monson took the checkers 3.3 seconds in front of Leasure with Cale Hancock third, Dustin Reeves fourth and Shawn Brownlee fifth. "Down here I always have good runs and 90 percent of the time I screw it up myself," Monson said. "I felt comfortable. I saw on the board that I had a good lead and just tried to keep calm and it worked out." Crimmins takes USRA Hobby Stocks victory: Jeremy Crimmins of Fort Dodge, Iowa, led the final 28 laps, holding off Bryce Sommerfeld over the final five laps, for the USRA Hobby Stocks feature win. Crimmins, who earned $1,200, moved to the lead on lap three after Kolby Goepel showed the way the first two times around. Crimmins opened a two-second lead by lap nine with Scott Dobel having taken over second. The leader's margin was up to 3.2 seconds when a caution appeared on lap 14. Gulbrandson advanced into second on lap 16 and started to give chase of Crimmins. The leader was cruising with a 1.9-second command when a debris caution flew on lap 25, leaving Gulbrandson and others five laps to chase down Crimmins. No one could catch him and Crimmins held off Sommerfeld for a .282-second victory. Gulbrandson finished third with Dobel fourth and Chris Hovden fifth. "I love the jumbo tron. Every once in a while I'd catch my car going down the backstretch and see the lead," Crimmins said. "The quality of cars here, the top 10 of these guys, if you can run with these guys - it was a pretty good week."
