  Lucas Oil Speedway, Dallas County Speedway USRA B-Mod points champs to earn $1,000, with bonus offered for B-Mod, Stock Car sweeps

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Jan. 31, 2023) - Drivers competing in the USRA B-Mod divisions at Lucas Oil Speedway and Dallas County Speedway can take home some extra points money during the 2023 season. Both tracks, in conjunction with the United States Racing Association, will pay their B-Mod track champions $1,000. Places two-through-10 in points - as long as drivers compete in a minimum of 80 percent of scheduled points events at each track - also will earn extra money. Those who fall under 80 percent will receive normal USRA B-Mod points payout. "We're pleased to make it even more attractive to race on a regular basis in our Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod division, in a partnership with Dallas County Speedway and the USRA," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. Lorton noted that the second-place driver in points will earn what was previous the championship total with additional money also dispersed throughout the remainder of the top 10. Those figures are: 2nd - $600. 3rd - $425. 4th - $300. 5th - $250. 6th - $200. 7th - $175. 8th - $150. 9th and 10th - $125. "I think it's gonna be a good deal for the drivers," Dallas County Speedway promoter Scotty Allen said. "It's $2,000 if you can win both the Lucas and Dallas County points and it's only 20 miles apart. Plus, not only does the track champ get more, the whole top 10 gets more." The USRA national points fund will pay $6,000 to the USRA B-Mod National Champion. Both Lucas Oil Speedway and Dallas County also will continue paying a $250 bonus to any B-Mod or Stock Cars driver who can win both features on the same weekend at the tracks, Friday at Dallas County and Saturday at Lucas. "The feature bonus for Stock Cars has proven to be popular, with both of us putting up an extra $125 for any driver sweeping the weekend features, and we're happy to be doing that in the B-Mod class as well," Lorton said. Lucas Oil Speedway's schedule begins with an open Test and Tune set for March 18 followed by the Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series Weekly Opener on March 25. The first weekly points program at Dallas County Speedway is set for April 21.

  WHEN OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS--CORNELL EYES MLRA'S SUNOCO ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

  Wheatland, Missouri (January 26, 2023) - When the Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA) Series kicks off season number 35 in just over two months-time, another talented group of drivers are expected at the starting line to contend for the series coveted Sunoco Race Fuels Rookie of the Year Championship. Driven with a lifelong passion to race, 22 year-old Kaeden Cornell is no stranger to racing, in fact the Willard, Missouri driver has been behind the wheel in one form or another since he was just five years old. Following a steady progression through the ranks from Go-Karts to Midwest Mods, and eventually B-Mods, Cornell's breakthrough opportunity into Late Model racing came as a surprise for the then 16 year-old. Growing up in southern Missouri at tracks like Springfield Raceway and Lucas Oil Speedway he recalls, "When I was 16 we were running pretty good at the time. It was just our family program with our little crate motor. Back then at Lucas they had 60 cars every night and we were normally top five about every night. I never could win, but I think I ran second to about everybody there. About mid-season we had just a terrible night, and Rick Hoover ended up messaging my Facebook Page and asked if I would be interested in driving his late model for him, and that's pretty much how it all started. At first dad and I thought he was joking because of the bad night we just had, but we went out to his place and looked it over and off we went." After a number of years gaining experience and recording numerous victories competing primarily under the ULMA Late Model Series banner, the Hoover Motorsports team began to branch out more into Open Late Model events in recent years, including last year where they made 10 starts with the MLRA. Three of those nights netted the team top ten finishes, led by a strong 6th place run at the Off Road Speedway in Norfolk, Nebraska. Cornell is confident that his MLRA experiences from 2022 will be a benefit to his entire team when they hit the road this season. "It's great experience anytime you can run against those guys—that's one thing you can't buy and it's experience. Anytime you can go out and race it's what you've got to do. I tell dad all the time, if I could run the whole Hell Tour deal it would make me so much better. It's just the more you race the better you will be." A four time Lucas Oil Speedway "Most Popular Driver of the Year" award recipient, Cornell is excited knowing he will have eight opportunities with the MLRA this season to compete at the Lucas Oil Speedway, but he is quick to acknowledge that there is no real home field advantage. "The hard deal about that place is normally it ain't the same but once. Everybody says it's a home track, but it ain't much of a home track because they keep you on your toes pretty good. It could be rough or smooth and fast, it's just kind of all over the place, but I like it that way." Outside of being able to notch his name in the records books as the newest Sunoco Race Fuel Rookie of the Year at seasons end, many of Cornell's goals for the season focus around running good in the Show-Me 100 and the Diamond Nationals. "A big goal of mine is the Show-Me, to be able to lock in and not have to use a provisional. I feel like that's the best measuring stick for where we are at with our program. That race brings the best of the best, so if we can run good there, man that would make me really happy. Pretty much all of my sponsors and fans and family will be there—that is our World 100." Cornell is a two-time winner with the former Southern Outlaw Late Model Series, with those wins coming in 2017 and 2018 at the Batesville Motor Speedway. However, tracing back to his Lucas Oil Speedway roots, he notes one of his biggest accomplishments was qualifying for the Diamond Nationals. "We made the Diamond back in 2019, and I think I ran right behind Rick Eckert pretty much the whole race. I'm racing with people that I literally looked up to my whole life. I mean I've got these peoples die cast and here I am now racing against them." Now as the team embarks on their sixth season together in 2023, Cornell is confident that the resources are now there to be a regular contender with the series. "I can't thank Rick enough, he just keeps believing in me and getting me all of the equipment we need to go fast. He has given me opportunities that I can promise you I would've never had if we were just on our own budget. We are probably one of the smallest and lowest funded teams in the pits, but I think this year we are going to have just as good of shot as anybody. Will Vaught told me one time, we all strap on our helmets just the same way so, I've kinda took that and rode with it." The team will enter the season with a 2022 Black Diamond Chassis that they debuted last July, along with a new Scott Bailey Racing Engine. "I feel like this year is going to be the first time for us to really be on an even playing field with these guys, so it's really exciting."

  Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: After narrow miss, Rob White sets sights on track championship

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Jan. 26, 2023) - The cliche answers for most drivers when asked about upcoming season goals are to "just go out and try to win races and let the points take care of themselves" or something to that effect. Rob White is an exception. The veteran driver from Lebanon is specific about his mission in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Car division at Lucas Oil Speedway. "I want to win the Lucas championship and that's what I'm gonna focus on this year," White said. Why is that so important? "It's the Diamond of Dirt Tracks," White said. "I really want to win the championship there." White is hopeful the old adage "the third time is the charm" applies. He's finished runner-up in the chase for the track championship each of the last two seasons, including a narrow eight-point deficit in 2022. At least it stayed in the family, however, as his son Bryan White won the title last season. Bragging rights also went to the younger White. As they did at Dallas County Speedway where Rob White finished four points behind William Garner in the points battle. He referred to Garner as "like another son" who has gone to the races with the Whites since he was a youngster. Rob White said he joked with both Bryan and William before the final points races of last season about a possible "arrangement." "I told 'em if they'd let me win those points championships that I'd go retire and they could go have fun. They wouldn't do it," Rob White said with a laugh. So his quest in the highly competitive and rapidly growing division will resume in mid-March when the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series kicks off at Lucas Oil Speedway. Rob White, who's raced on and off for three decades in various dirt-track divisions, said the USRA Stock Car class is the most fun he's ever had. "It's real competitive. Everybody gives everybody room and respect," he said. "That means a lot. It's hard to get away from anybody at all. It makes it exciting." It also makes it a bit stressful when racing against his son. The final night of last season was a prime example as Rob needed to finish three spots in front of Bryan to overtake him for the points title. While Rob finished a strong second, Bryan came home in third. "I was keeping an eye on that scoreboard," Rob White said. "I seen when he got to third, that it was over then. Racing with him is stressful. You pay attention to where he's at and quit paying attention to what you're doing. Then the competitive side kicks in and you start racing." Rob said he's proud of Bryan, along with son Jakob White, who won two features in the Pure Stock division last season at Dallas County. "I don't think you can get much more of a proud dad than I am," he said. "Both my boys, they've both had real good success." As for how he hopes to wrest away the Lucas Oil Speedway championship this season, Rob White said it's all about consistency. "The third time's the charm, I hope," he said. "It's just consistency. You've got to be good in your heat races so it gets you lined up good in your features." Rob White said his sponsor list includes Norris Logging, Bowman Bail Bonds, Price Enterprise, The Butcher Shop of Camdenton, Garner and Smith Insurance, The Burger Basket and Mid-State Machine. Season openers: Lucas Oil Speedway's schedule begins with an open Test and Tune set for March 18 followed by the Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series Weekly Opener on March 25.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: Gillmore eager for more USRA B-Mod success in '23

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Jan. 24, 2023) - One year ago, Ryan Gillmore was entering a season of change with anticipation and uncertainty. The long-time successful USRA B-Mod driver from Springfield was debuting a new chassis and wasn't sure what to expect. After 15 overall features victories - including the Summit USRA Nationals B-Mod main event - plus a strong second-place finish in Lucas Oil Speedway Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod points the answer was a resounding success. "I couldn't be any happier with the end result," Gillmore said of his performance in an Allen Autosports car. "It was a benchmark year, for sure, and something that is going to be hard to match this coming season." But Gillmore is itching to give it a shot. The 30-year-old is aiming high, with his sights set on a potential USRA National Championship run, something he won back in 2017. "More of the same, right off the bat, and as the season rolls one I'd like to hit some money shows and win some traveling stuff to get my name out there a little more," Gillmore said of 2023 goals. "I'd like to take a stab at a national championship. This last year we chased it kind of blindly. "You never know how national points are going to shake out. There are so many variables. So, just get as many wins as I can and tear up the least possible." That's kind of how the home stretch of 2022 went for Gillmore, who wound up fifth in USRA national points after winning 11 features from July 29th on last season. Gillmore said it was as good as any stretch he's had in his career and the culmination of collaborating with chassis builder Scotty Allen in fully figuring out the new ride. "Right off the bat did well," Gillmore said. "Then I got complacent on my own and didn't think I was very good in the middle part of the season. Scotty and I worked together and found some things at the end of the season. "I won a lot of big races at the end. The last three months, we were pretty well lights out everywhere we went. I was not really surprised, but was surprised at the same time. I really thought it was gonna take longer just to start figuring some things out with the car, but everything jelled like it was supposed to and it was all good." The confidence when man and machine are clicking is hard to describe. "Everywhere we went, we were in definite contention for the win," he said. "We had speed and no matter what I did, to mess anything up, it seemed like we were good. I knew every time I unloaded that I had confidence that we could win. That helped me mentally knowing that my car was good and I could back it up when I got on the race track." Gillmore called the USRA Nationals triumph, which completed a flawless week that included two other preliminary wins, perhaps the biggest of his career. "It took me a couple of weeks to reflect on it and say, 'I did it,' " Gillmore said. "After it first ended, it was like, 'what happened?' The whole week was a big blur. I don't know what we did to deserve that one, but everything just clicked perfect that whole week." Best of all, the car barely got a scratch on it and that's made for a less-stressful offseason. The immediate challenge, Gillmore said, is finishing up a new race shop before engines fire up for competition in a little more than a month. "We're just gonna freshen up some things and hopefully start the season kind of where we ended," he said. "Just give it a little bit of love before we get back on the road again." Gillmore's race team sponsors return intact. Those include Choate Farms, Yeoman Race Engines, Allen Autosports, Metal Magic Auto Hail Repair, Chaney Doorworks, Ron Ron Motorsports, Vinyl Cup Records, Elena Rodgers Motorsports, Oz Designs, CPD Racing Shocks, McCoy's Iron and Metal, Allen's Automotive, Fast Shafts, Bud's Tire & Wheel, Atnip Enterprises and Show-Me Dirt. Newcomers include C&M Gear Works, Carter's Auto Glass and Polk County Glass. "I'm proud of keeping the same people around year after year on the side of the car," Gillmore said. That means a lot to me, taking care of them while they take care of me." Known for his engaging personality as well as his driving skills, fans can hear Gillmore's Pit Shack Podcast weekly. He and co-host Trevor Drake talk to area drivers and racing figures with a new show out each Thursday or Friday. "We're trying to get a hold of different people in the region and let them tell their story," Gillmore said. "Maybe not always the people who get the recognition or interview time. It's fun to do and it's fun to learn. "We did it for year and a half, until late 2020, then got busy racing. We brought it back about two months ago. There are now 32 episodes total and I'm gonna try to keep it going through the summer, if our racing schedule allows." Season openers: Lucas Oil Speedway's schedule begins with an open Test and Tune set for March 18 followed by the Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series Weekly Opener on March 25.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: USRA Modified runner-up Hodges preps for double duty

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Jan. 17, 2023) - Dustin Hodges is eager to see some double duty in 2023, adding a Super Late Model to his USRA Modified stable. After finishing a close second to Dillon McCowan in the Lucas Oil Speedway Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified division last season, plans came together this offseason for Hodges to drive a Rocket XR1. "I'm really excited to get to try something that's been an ultimate dream," Hodges said. The specifics of Hodges' schedule remains uncertain, though the driver from Centralia does plan to make his debut in the Late Model at the 10th annual MLRA Spring Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway, March 31 and April 1. "We hope to do some MLRA stuff and some regional stuff, just to kind of get our feet wet and try to create as much of a notebook as we can this year," Hodges said. "The plan is to kind of see how things go with it. "I think our main focus will be the Modified, but our main goal with it would be to hit a half-dozen to a dozen races with the Late Model." While stepping into the open Late Model world will be new, driving Late Models is not foreign to Hodges. He won ULMA national championships in 2016 and 2018 and was a series rookie of the year in 2015. In recent years, Hodges settled into the Modified division and has been a consistent contender. He raced regularly at Lucas Oil Speedway for the first time in 2022 and got better as the year went on, finishing with two wins in the second half of the season to go with 12 top-five finishes in 14 events. Hodges wound up only 22 points behind McCowan in the points chase. He also picked up six feature wins and the track championship at Callaway Raceway. Overall, Hodges was third in USRA National points behind Tyler Davis and McCowan. "It was a really good year," Hodges said. "The last half was really awesome once we finally got things figured out to what we were needing. Once we got the car dialed in, everything went pretty darn smooth." The success at Lucas was rewarding, especially the first trips to victory lane. "Getting to race at that premier track, knowing that it is halfway close to home … we had a blast," Hodges said. "It seems like overall track conditions have changed a little bit and it kind of fits us a little better." He's looking to continue that success at Wheatland this season, even if he doesn't run the Modified for points. "I wouldn't say we really have specific goals," Hodges said of the year ahead. "Every time we jump in the Modified, I would like to be a podium car for sure and compete for wins everywhere we go with it. The Late Model stuff, we're just trying to keep an open mind and try to learn from all those guys. "The amount of technology and, unfortunately the amount of money it takes to run a Late Model, we have to see if we can compete and keep everything well-maintained to see if we can run with those guys." If the budget allowed, Hodges said he would like to run the Late Model all season and chase the MLRA rookie title. That might not be in the cards, however, with only one motor on hand. "Our ultimate goal is to get an additional power-plant so we can look to run for the (MLRA) Rookie title," Hodges said. Hodges' crew includes his uncle John Doerr and friend Kyle Harrison.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: Cox looks to build on hot Late Model finish

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Jan. 12, 2023) - Tucker Cox finished the 2022 racing season in a rush, then it was over. Cox captured a long-sought first Late Model feature victory at Lucas Oil Speedway, along with two feature triumphs at Callaway Raceway. Now with a new season approaching, the 23-year-old from Jefferson City is eager to try and carry over the momentum. "It was pretty good overall," Cox said of last season. "I was a little frustrated about midway through the year, but at the end we won three of the last four races. We started getting the car figured out." Cox wound up a distant second to veteran Larry Ferris in the Lucas Oil Speedway Hermitage Lumber Late Model points chase as Ferris had a dominant season. But Cox, who's still learning the Late Model game, is planning an ambitious schedule in 2023 with 39 events planned, between Lucas and Callaway. "With a couple of other places, we hope to run 43 total," said Cox, who said his MB Customs race car is just about ready to roll after a motor freshening and usual offseason maintenance. Cox, the son of long-time Late Model regional racer Chris Cox, said the car started to come around when he stopped trying to throw the kitchen sink at it between his heat race and the feature. Things clicking the final Saturday night of August at Wheatland when he led all 20 laps to prevail, by 1.5 seconds over Matt Becker. "Winning that first (feature at Lucas) meant a lot because we finally got everything going the right direction," Cox said. "We weren't really far off. Larry Ferris was really good. We just needed to not change so much from the heat race to the feature. "That was the biggest thing. I was over-adjusting a little bit for the feature. It was more my fault than anything really. We changed a few things on the shocks and springs and that was really about it." As for 2023 goals, Cox is ready to raise his standard. He recently told his dad he wants to win at least 10 features this season. "I think that's a pretty good goal," he said. "As far as the points go, I'd like to win Wheatland's track championship as well as Callaway's. But I'm not gonna get too worried about points. Just gonna try to win all I can and go from there." Cox knows that Ferris will be tough to beat, but he welcomes the challenge. "Larry and Brian Larimore worked really hard last year," Cox said. "Larry's a really good driver and he's been racing for a long time. It's hard to compete with him, but I'm glad he races with us. That makes me better and everybody else better, too." When Lucas Oil Speedway released the schedule, which finds the season opening several weeks earlier than it did a year ago, Cox smiled. That's when his idea of a busy workload, of 39 or more races, kicked in. "I'm real excited because Wheatland is starting a little bit earlier," he said. "I like starting earlier. Hopefully if we have troubles, we get those out of the way early. Hopefully we don't have any. The main thing is starting the season out a little stronger than last year." Cox said he's seeking addition sponsors or marketing partners to join a lineup that includes State Technical College, Cole County Upholstery, Extreme Racing Oil, MB Custom, Yeoman Race Engines, C&S Exteriors andAdvanced Heating and Cooling. Season openers: Lucas Oil Speedway's schedule begins with an open Test and Tune set for March 18 followed by the Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series Weekly Opener on March 25.

  Lucas Oil Speedway selected for one of six 2023 SRX Thursday night events on ESPN

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Dec. 21, 2022) - Some of the world's best-known drivers are coming to Lucas Oil Speedway for the first time in 2023 as part of the popular Superstar Racing Experience (SRX) six-race series. The finale of the six events will be held at Lucas Oil Speedway on Thursday, Aug. 17 with the telecast set to begin at 8 p.m. CDT on ESPN and the ESPN App. "The six tracks we selected came from a list of 42 fantastic venues, all who had real interest in hosting an SRX race this summer," said Don Hawk, SRX Chief Executive Officer. "When selecting the schedule, we prioritized historic tracks that have had success hosting big-time events. "We are really excited with the six tracks that have been selected - the venues will be packed and bring incredible energy and local racing passion that will come out on ESPN for Thursday Night Thunder. This summer will be short-track racing at its very best. SRX at 6 historic short tracks all over the US - we can't wait and are so excited for the fans to experience it on ESPN in prime time." Hawk said that Lucas Oil Speedway as "an easy selection" for inclusion on the 2023 schedule. "Tony Stewart had a big hand in helping with the selections of iconic race tracks and when you hear the name Lucas Oil, and Lucas Oil Speedway, you just go 'wow, I want to go there,' " Hawk added. "They were literally on our radar from day one, when when requests starting coming in. They get it, they understand it and they understand the big picture and we can't wait to go there." The SRX schedule (all events at 9 p.m. EDT on ESPN): July 13 - Stafford Motor Speedway (Stafford Springs, Conn.) July 20 - Thunder Road Speedbowl (Barre, Vermont) July 27 - Motor Mile Speedway (Radford, Va.) Aug. 3 - Berlin Raceway (Grand Rapids, Mich.) Aug. 10 - Eldora Speedway (New Weston, Ohio) Aug. 17 - Lucas Oil Speedway (Wheatland, Mo.) The final two races are back-to-back dirt-track events with the SRX champion determined as the checkered flag flies at Lucas Oil Speedway. "We're thrilled to be a part of the SRX," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "We can't wait for racing fans across the world to see Lucas Oil Speedway on ESPN and I know our fans will turn out in force for this one-of-a-kind event with some of the legends of racing in action." Hawk gave a further breakdown of the schedule, starting with the opener at Stafford which is near the ESPN campus in Bristol, Conn. "It was important to us to kick-off this summer at Stafford Motor Speedway, in Bristol's backyard," Hawk said. "Stafford and the Arute family have done a first-class job, and the proximity to ESPN made the home-game concept very exciting. SRX's first visit to Thunder Road (VT) will be awesome - the fans there are spectacular, and we're excited for race rans around the country to see how awesome that place is. "We are equally excited to visit Motor Mile and Berlin Race - these are two tracks that have been on our radar since day one. Finally, finishing the season with back-to-back dirt races will test the driver's adaptability. Eldora is a world-class facility, and with Tony [Stewart], we know we are getting the very best. And hosting our championship at Lucas Oil Speedway in Missouri will be the perfect finale to a diverse and exciting 2023 summer schedule." According to a Sports Business Journal story, SRX last year averaged just over 1 million viewers on CBS, and it was able to break even financially after selling out five of the six races it held. In that story, Hawk said he's received an uptick in interest from drivers in NASCAR and IndyCar who are interested in competing because the series has switched from Saturdays to Thursdays. Hawk said that about half the driver roster already is filled, but announcement of the entire roster likely will come later in January or February.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Champions Spotlight: Bryan White meets, exceeds expectations on his way to USRA Stock Cars title

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Dec. 13, 2022) - Bryan White used to drive over to Lucas Oil Speedway and watch the weekly racing action, dreaming of someday competing on the oval. Little did the 21-year-old from Lebanon realize that just a few years later, he would do that - and much, more. White first's full season as a competitor at Lucas Oil Speedway saw him win two races and the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars track championship. As an added bonus, he earned family bragging rights by finishing eight points in front of his dad, Rob White, in the points chase. "It means a lot," Bryan White said of what the championship means to him. "I grew up at racetracks and around racing, at Lebanon and Dallas County and went to Lucas a lot when I was able to start driving as a kid. I've always wanted to race there. So it means a lot. "Yeah, I exceeded expectations by far. I just wanted to win a couple of races and get a top-five in points. I didn't even imagine getting top five in national points." Bryan White got his start in racing six years ago in a Pure Stock at Midway Speedway. By the end of the year, he won two features and a track championship. He moved into the Midwest Mod division the next season before the Stock Cars caught his eye a couple of years ago. White, who also competed regularly at Lebanon Midway Speedway this season, won nine races overall in 2022 to wind up fifth in Medieval USRA national points. Consistency put him over the top at Lucas Oil Speedway, where he piled up eight top-five finishes and 11 top-10s in the fast-growing division. Bryan's third-place feature finish on Rempfer Memorial Championship night was enough to take the championship as he finished one spot behind Rob White as Rodney Schweizer won the race. "I started out strong, winning the first race of the season at Midway and it set the pace for the whole year," White said. "The key was racing two nights a week and keeping the car going and nothing breaking. "It's going to keep getting tougher and tougher," he said of the Stock Car class. "It'll eventually be just as tough as the B-Mods, if not tougher." Which is why White and his dad are looking for ways to take their games to a higher level in the future. They're developing a new White Race Cars chassis, which could be ready before the end of next season. Meanwhile, the Whites will be putting new bodies on their 2022 cars over the winter while freshening everything else underneath. Meanwhile, Bryan White encourages fans to follow his YouTube page @5thgearracing during the offseason. Team sponsors include The Butcher Shop out of Camdenton, Garner & Smith Insurance, Garner Construction, Complete Services, Price Enterprises, Volunteer Metal Finishing, Alive Wire Electric, The Burger Basket and Mike Bowman Bail Bonds."

  Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series Sets 48 Dates in 2023

  Bryan Hulbert - DRUMRIGHT, Okla. (December 8, 2022) Ready to dive into the 32nd season of touring, the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series is set for a 48-night run in 2023 that will see the tour at 28 facilities across ten states. Similar to the 2022 layout, the increase in car counts, and the ability for nearly all teams that started the season able to finish, series owner Terry Mattox will again keep that formula in play while adding new high-paying dates and focusing on weekend events. "It's the formula that built ASCS during the early 2000s, and it brought teams out that otherwise would have never considered running the National Tour," commented Mattox of the 2022 season. "When I was talking with teams at the end of the season, I got a lot of good feedback and suggestions on what they wanted to see schedule-wise, and one of those was keeping the races more focused on the weekends and limiting the number of mid-week events we run, and I feel like the 2023 schedule accomplishes that." With familiar favorites like the Devil's Bowl, Creek County, Knoxville, Lucas Oil Speedway, and more dotting the schedule, the 2023 lineup will also see the addition of five new facilities. First on the list of new stops is Rocket Raceway Park in Petty, Texas. On the lineup in 2022, tires and mother nature kept the series at bay. Shelby County Speedway in Harlan, Iowa, features a one-third-mile oval and would be the ninth Iowa oval to host the tour. A highly requested track over the years is Rush County "Bullring" Speedway in La Crosse, Kan. Living up the hype during URSS events over the year, the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series will rank among the largest events to roll into the five-sixteenths-mile oval. Completely redone from its former Flint Creek Speedway days, the track that now sits in Colcord, Okla., is Arrowhead Speedway. Another track that was set to see action in 2022, the new owners pushed back the opening of the track in order to make sure the facility was ready. Paired with another new oval, the three-eighths-mile Longdale Speedway sits just the other side of Stillwater and will return to life in 2023 with several special events dotting their schedule. With new tracks on the lineup, returning tracks cannot be overlooked. Formerly Randolph County Raceway, the ultra-high-banked Missouri oval has a new lease on life and a new name; Moberly Motorsports Park. Last on the lineup in 2012, Dodge City Raceway Park returns with a pair of nights in July. A couple of dates are still in the works as Mattox looks to secure a couple more venues in addition to dates marked at TBA. The 2023 season will again see a season-ending payout of $50,000 to the champion. Nightly payout and appearance money will stay the same for the 2023 season. Full payout for weekend events is available at http://www.ascsracing.com. Major events on the 2023 lineup include the Capital City Clash at Jackson Motor Speedway ($15,000 to win), the Mickey Walker Memorial ($5,000 to win), West Kansas Showdown at WaKeeney Speedway ($5,000 to win), Knoxville 360 Nationals ($15,000 to win), Hockett/McMillin Memorial ($10,000 to win), and the COMP Cams Short Track Nationals, which will have a venue announced soon. Other events will be announced as the season nears. Terry Mattox will again be at the helm of the American Sprint Car Series. Questions on the tour can be directed at him by calling (918) 417-0624 or email terry@ascsracing.com. The 2023 season will mark the 32nd year of competition for the American Sprint Car Series. Spearheaded by the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network, the ASCS Nation includes Regional Tours that encompass both wing and non-wing competition. When making it to the track is not an option, the series can be found on http://www.floracing.com, and is included in the platform's $150 a year subscription plan.

  Lucas Oil Late Models Reveal Chase Format and $1 Million Point Fund for 2023

  BATAVIA, Ohio (December 8, 2022) - Keeping the momentum, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series championship format is undergoing a major overhaul in 2023. The new model will be an elimination style format designed to reward the worthiest, battle-tested driver at the end of the season. In addition to the revitalized championship format, more than $470,000 has been added to the championship point fund, bringing the grand total for the Big River Steel Chase for the Championship presented by ARP to just over $1,000,000. Under the new model, the field will be whittled down to a final four drivers through four rounds of eliminations. The remaining four drivers will go into the season finale at Eldora Speedway with an equal chance to win the championship. After the first round of eliminations, there will be 15 drivers. After the second round, the field will drop to twelve, and following the third round eight drivers will remain. The final round of eliminations will leave only four drivers in championship contention. The four rounds of eliminations are: Round of 15: Sunoco Road to Wheatland: May 27 at Lucas Oil Speedway; 31st Annual Show-Me 100 Round of 12: Summit Racing Equipment Super Twelve: July 15 at Lucas Oil Speedway; 17th Annual Diamond Nationals Round of 8: UNOH Great Eight: August 26 at Port Royal Speedway; The Rumble by the River Round of 4: Big River Steel Big Four: September 30 at Pittsburgh's PA Motor Speedway; 35th Annual Pittsburgher Following each round of eliminations, the teams advancing to the next round will be awarded the following cash bonuses: Sunoco Road to Wheatland: 1. $2,500, 2. $1,500, 3. $1,500, 4. $1,500, 5. $1,500, 6. $1,000, 7. $1,000, 8. $1,000, 9. $1,000, 10. $1,000, 11. $500, 12. $500, 13. $500, 14. $500, 15. $500 = $16,000 Summit Racing Equipment Super Twelve: 1. $5,000, 2. $1,000, 3. $1,000, 4. $1,000, 5. $1,000, 6. $1,000, 7. $1,000, 8. $1,000, 9. $1,000, 10. $1,000, 11. $1,000, 12. $1,000 = $16,000 UNOH Great Eight: 1. $7,500, 2. $1,500, 3. $1,500, 4. $1,500, 5. $1,500, 6. $1,500, 7. $1,500, 8. $1,500 = $18,000 Big River Steel Big Four: 1. $10,000, 2. $2,000, 3. $2,000, 4. $2,000 = $16,000 Drivers will continue to earn points at every event throughout the season based on the traditional championship point structure. At the season finale, points for the Big River Steel Big Four drivers will be consolidated. The first of the four drivers to cross the finish line in the 43rd Annual Dirt Track World Championship will be crowned the 2023 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion. 2023 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Point Fund: 1. $200,000 2. $150,000 3. $125,000 4. $100,000 5. $75,000 6. $60,000 7. $50,000 8. $45,000 9. $40,000 10. $35,000 11. $30,000 12. $25,000 Chase Bonuses: $66,000 Point Fund: $935,000 Total: $1,001,000 "The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series has seen tremendous growth throughout its history,' said Rick Schwallie, Series Director. "We look forward to crowning our 18th National Champion, Tim McCreadie, on Friday night. As we look ahead to our 19th season, we're ready for an action-packed season that will culminate in our first ever visit to the historic Eldora Speedway. Only twice in our Series history has the championship been contested at the season finale. The Dirt Track World Championship is an event that is worthy of crowning a Champion. Not only will the crown jewel pay $100,000 to win, but now, the race inside the race is worthy of the persona that is the Dirt Track World Championship. For us to be proud of this program, there were two key factors. First, the event needed to be contested at the speedway that dirt late model racing calls home, Eldora. Second, the four finalists contending for a national title needed to be well compensated for their efforts all season. The unwavering dedication of Lucas Oil, our exclusive broadcast partner FloRacing, and our great marketing partners allow us to strive as the elite dirt late model tour." "We are passionately committed to our involvement in motorsports and the continued growth of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. We are incredibly excited about the new million-dollar point fund and elimination-style championship format for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series - it elevates the drama, the action, the stories, and the passion that fans like us have for these drivers and teams," said Morgan Lucas, president of Lucas Oil. "Motorsports, and the Late Models series specifically, is in our DNA. Ratcheting up the fan experience and excitement for the sport while celebrating and supporting these tremendous athletes is a win-win. I can't wait to see how this season shakes out." The Big River Steel Chase for the Championship presented by ARP kicks off at Golden Isles Speedway with the Super Bowl of Racing on January 25-28. From there, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series is back at Bubba Raceway Park for two nights on January 29-30 before heading to All-Tech Raceway, February 2-4. The 47th Annual Wieland Winternationals will close out Speedweeks, February 5-11, at East Bay Raceway Park. For a complete Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series schedule, please visit www.lucasdirt.com.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Champions Spotlight: New chassis, same result as Jackson makes it seven B-Mod titles

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Dec. 8, 2022) - Kris Jackson's record seventh Lucas Oil Speedway track championship felt a little different from the others because the Lebanon driver won it driving a car he built from the ground up. It was more than a year ago when Jackson and his cousin, Tony Jackson Jr., formed J2 Motorsports with the idea putting Kris' background of B-Modified success to use in business. J2 chassis number one - driven by Kris - wound up winning 31 features in 64 total events in 2022. Included were six wins at Lucas Oil Speedway where the 38-year-old Jackson claimed another Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod championship. He wound up 17 points in front of Ryan Gillmore, who charged fast in the season's home stretch to keep the outcome in doubt until the final night. Perhaps the latest championship, to go with others in 2012-14 and 2019, 2020 and 2021, was meant to be. Jackson all but ceded the points lead to Gillmore in a mid-summer race, to compete at a special event in Wisconsin, but a rogue thunderstorm rained action out at Wheatland. "We got lucky," Jackson said. Maybe he was lucky that week. But otherwise, luck had little to do with it for one of America's premier USRA B-Mod drivers. A two-time USRA National champion, Jackson finished runner-up in national points this season, 62 behind Minnesota's Joe Chisholm. The fact Jackson did it in the new chassis made it a bit sweeter. J2 just sold its 21st car this week and drivers using the chassis have combined to win nearly 100 races this season. Shadren Turner and Jon Sheets are among Missouri drivers to win multiple times. "I would say that to me is what I'm proudest about," Jackson said. "There's not just one fast car coming out of here, they're all pretty fast. Shadren Turner, Jon Sheets, Jake Hodges out in Kansas. We sent one to Tennessee that Brent Smith won in. "We probably had five cars racing this year and I think we'll have at least 10 racing next year, if everybody that has one races." Jackson said he was pleasantly surprised by how good the car was right out of the shop, beginning with a successful venture to the Wild West Shootout last January. He plans to take the same car back to Vado, N.M., next month for the six-night series. "I really thought we would have to change more stuff than we did," Jackson said. "It was fast right off the bat and we've changed out set-ups a little bit and picked up some speed again. I'm just very happen with them. "I didn't really anticipate business going this good, but it's moving along quite well. We've moved into a new building on Route 66 in the middle of Lebanon. We bought it and refurbished and got settled in, trying to click out some cars." As for his racing plans beyond the Wild West Shootout, Jackson said he anticipates a similar schedule. But unless Mother Nature creates some timely rain outs, when he chooses to travel for B-Mod specials, his record number of Lucas Oil Speedway championships might stall at seven. Looking into the not-too-distant future, there's also a chance that son Karter, soon to turn 11, might get into a Modified and get some test time. "We're planning on taking him out and let him drive around the local track and get used to it, then maybe turn him loose when he's 12," Jackson said. But until then, Karter will continue helping his dad, along with crew members Jordan and Jared Medley. "It definitely was another good year. We can't complain," Jackson said.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Champions Spotlight: Young McCowan celebrates in memory of Grandpa with Late Model plans next

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Dec. 6, 2022) - Dillon McCowan has many fond memories of talking racing with his grandfather and one of those was a desire both had for Dillon to turn competitive laps in a dirt Late Model. "That was our goal and it was special to all of us," Dillon McCowan said. "We couldn't have done it without Jesse Stovall. He loaned us a car and we were able to put it together and practice a little bit and eventually run a couple of races in it. "I was sure glad that Grandpa got to see us run it." A.D. McCowan, an Ozarks Area Racers Foundation Hall of Famer, passed away in September but not before 18-year-old Dillon had a pair of strong Late Model runs in the Lucas Oil Speedway Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series. There also was a second straight track championship in the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified division. The wrap for both cars was A.D. McCowan's yellow No. 7x that he campaigned. That made it even more special for the entire family. Dillon McCowan said it's time to retire the 7x and return to his green No. 8 in 2023. But a new chapter awaits as the Urbana resident is planning to move primarily to a Late Model, beginning with the Wild West Shootout next month in Vado, N.M. "The plan right now is to take a Late Model and try to run it every night," McCowan said of the six-night Wild West Shootout. "We're trying to get geared up for the (Lucas Oil) MLRA season. We're gonna try to run that full time and hit some different super shows. "We'll still have a Modified to run some USMTS stuff with it. We may take one Late Model and one Modified out to Vado, but I know for sure we'll be running a Late Model." McCowan said he has a 2017 Longhorn that he and his dad, Charlie, have been working regularly on to prepare for next season. He called it a natural progression - and one he often talked with A.D. McCowan about. "That's the goal and always has been the goal, racing Late Models for a living," McCowan said. "I love watching the Late Models and racing them is even better. It's a heck of a lot of fun. I promise you when they're good, they drive amazing compared to a Modified. But when it's not good, you can't muscle it around like you can a Modified." McCowan's busy 2022 season saw him enter 72 events with 17 wins, 11 second-place finishes and 46 top-fives. He scored seven feature victories at Lucas Oil Speedway, where he wound up 22 points in front of Dustin Hodges in the championship chase. "It was an amazing season," McCowan said. "We won quite a few races over there at Lucas. This year we wanted to pull the championship off for Grandpa. Not having him now really makes it tough, but being able to pull off the championship the second year in a row for him that was really good. "It was fun getting to race there all season long and being in a points battle with Dustin and a couple of other guys. That made it really fun. I thought the track was exceptionally good all year long. The times we did hit the set-up on the car right, everything came together good and it was a fun season." McCowan smiled about being named Lucas Oil Speedway's Most Popular Driver, from online fan balloting, for the second straight year. His friendly demeanor in the pits interacting with kids - and adults of all ages - is one he learned from his time as a lad. "I love it when kids come over to the trailer. I used to be that little kid who wanted to go and talk to the drivers in the pits and see what was happening back there," McCowan said. "I love signing cards for the kids. You have to be kind and respectful to everybody who comes back there. Without the fans, we wouldn't be racing. It's all about the fans. That's why we're there." Asked if there are specific drivers that stood out to him as a fan growing up, he said many fit the bill. "A lot of them, really," he said. "I can't name one that was not good to me. They were always answering any questions that I had. I respected all those guys and I still do today." McCowan said he hopes to drop into Lucas Oil Speedway and run weekly Modified programs next season, when his schedule permits. It seems fitting that the MLRA series opener, the 10th annual Spring Nationals, are at his home track on March 31-April 1. "I'm excited to run there, the first show of the MLRA schedule," he said. "We love running over there and seeing everybody. That's like home to me." McCowan thanks a long list of sponsors, including: Midwest Sheet Metal, Empire Energy, Pomeroy Services, Swift Springs, FastShafts, McCowan Farms, Rick Lowry Taxidermy, Ozark Motorsports Report, Hawk Fertilizer & Feed, Hawk Angus Farms, Wooderson Veterinary Clinic, Oak Star Bank, Don Howe Gravel & Dirt, Bud's Tire & Wheel, Specialty Risk Insurance, AD and Nancy McCowan, Joe's Hardware, Dobson Farms, Greg and Tina Day, Elusive Competition Engines, Midwest Wrap Co., and Mars Race Cars. He gave a special shout-out to his parents, Mindy and Charlie. "Without my Mom and Dad, I couldn't be living the dream today," he said. "I really am living the dream. This is what I've always wanted to do. We've put in a lot of hard work, but I wouldn't want to be doing anything else." Lucas Oil Speedway recently announced the 2023 tentative schedule which includes the usual variety of motorsports on the dirt oval, drag-boat track and off-road course. The season begins with an Open Test & Tune on March 18 and the season-opener of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series is set for March 25.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Champions Spotlight: Ferris relishes first Late Model title with an eye on 2023

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Nov. 30, 2022) - When Larry Ferris purchased a Capital Race Car before the 2021 season, the veteran Late Model driver from Nevada felt he had reached a career crossroads. "It was a game-changer," Ferris said of the new car. "To be honest, I figured I'd give it one more shot and if we couldn't run any better than we were, I was just gonna hang it up. We got that car and it totally changed our program and it totally changed everybody's attitude, especially mine. "I was tired of not running good," Ferris added. "It's so expensive and took so much time and work that it just wasn't worth it anymore to run fifth all the time." The car was, indeed, a game-changer. Ferris missed the first two Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series shows at Lucas Oil Speedway in 2021, but went on to win three features that season and finished fourth in points. He carried that momentum over to a big 2022 season, resulting in his first Late Model championship. Ferris won four times and was runner-up four other times in nine events. He finished 80 points in front of runner-up Tucker Cox in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model division for one of his most-memorable years in more than two decades of racing. "It feels good to get one, for sure," Ferris said of the Lucas Oil Speedway championship. "We've never really run for one. Last year we missed the first two races and had a pretty good year. I thought, shoot, with an effort to make everything we ought to have a pretty good chance this year. That's what happened." Ferris cruised into the Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night on Aug. 27 with an insurmountable lead. Just by taking the green flag, he clinched the title. "It's got to be up there," Ferris said of where the season ranks among career highlights. "I won a track championship at North Fork Speedway in 1997 in a Modified. We had a really good year that year and this is right up there with that." The only downside came in the Lucas Oil MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial over Labor Day Weekend when motor issues relegated Ferris to a 14th-place finish. He said the motor was overdue for a freshening after back-to-back problem-free seasons and that's taking place this winter, along with routine maintenance on the rest of the car. All signs point toward making a run at a weekly series title defense next season on an expanded, 14-race Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series schedule. Lucas Oil Speedway also had a Fall Brawl spotlight the weekly Late Models tentatively set for Sept. 22-23. "That's the plan," Ferris said. "Danny (General Manager Danny Lorton) has got some more races scheduled and got some good races at the end of the year he's working on. That'll be great. It sounds like it's going to be a really good year over there." The Ferris team might expand in 2023. Larry has put together a USRA Modified that son Ryan Ferris might climb behind the wheel of next season. "We've got it done for the most part," Larry Ferris said. "Finding the time is gonna be the hard part. We're gonna try to have my boy run it more than anything. I think I'll let him play with that. I just don't have time to do it all. He's ready to get back in one and I think I'm more ready to help him as much as anything." With the success of the last couple of years in the Late Models, those thoughts of hanging up the helmet definitely are on hold. "I think we're still gonna hit it pretty hard, the next two or three years, anyway," Ferris said. Larry Ferris said his success couldn't have happened without help from some key contributors, including Ryan Ferris and Dave Collins helping out, Brian Larimore from Dirt Track Specialists, Josh Poe and Scott Bailey Racing Engines. "Scott takes great care of us if we ever need anything for the engine," Ferris said. "If we need help, he'll come down and help us. He's a major part of our program."

  Harriett Chancellor named Forrest Lucas Lifetime Achievement Award winner at Lucas Oil Speedway postseason banquet

  OSAGE BEACH, MO. (Nov. 19, 2022) - It was a night to pay tribute to the stars of the 2022 season while also recognizing a long-time major contributor to the regional racing scene during Saturday's Lucas Oil Speedway Championship Banquet at Margaritaville Lake Resort. Harriett Chancellor, co-owner of the Midwest Late Model Racing Association for 16 years, was named the sixth recipient of the Forrest Lucas Lifetime Achievement Award for contributions to the sport on and off the track. Meanwhile, track champions in the four Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series divisions and the top 10 in points in each class were featured during the banquet. Track champions recognized were Dillon McCowan (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds), Kris Jackson (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Larry Ferris (Hermitage Lumber Late Models) and Bryan White (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). McCowan also was named Most Popular Driver, determined through fan voting, for the second straight time. Ryan Gillmore, runner-up in the B-Mod points, won Best Appearing Race Car as determined by the GS Stanek Racing Photography and speedway staff. "We're proud to recognize our track champions and top 10 in points, plus the individual award winners after another terrific season," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "Congratulations to all who made it a great year and we look forward to seeing everyone in 2023." One of the highlights of the evening was the announcement of Chancellor, who along with her late husband Allen "Cowboy" Chancellor owned and operate the MLRA (Midwest Late Model Racing Association) from 1996-2012, as the Forrest Lucas Lifetime Achievement Award winner. Harriett and Allen met at the race track and purchased a Western Auto Racing parts van in the early 1980s and traveled to area tracks selling race-car parts, tires and fuel. They purchased the MLRA in 1996 and grew it into one of the nation's top regional dirt Late Model series with drivers such as Terry Phillips, Al Purkey, Bill Frye, Alan Vaughan and Billy Moyer becoming mainstays. The Chancellors were known for fairness across the board, with no favoritism and Harriett was not afraid to uphold the rules. Ernie Leftwich, who's now series director of the Lucas Oil MLRA, was a young official for the series at the time. He recalled when Frye tried to pass through tech with unapproved tires saying it was all he had available. Leftwich told Frye he would "have to take it up with the boss lady." Instead of letting it slide, Harriett sent him home as everyone was going to be treated the same. One of Harriett's biggest contributions was as a promoter and consultant to other tracks and even leasing tracks to give drivers and fans a place to enjoy the sport. Even in retirement, Harriett has remained active and not missed many nights at Lucas Oil Speedway, always willing to help in any way she can. Chancellor joins previous Forrest Lucas Lifetime Achievement Award winners Rex Merritt (2017), Jim Ruble (2018), Kevin Fletcher (2019), Kent Smith (2020) and Bill Allen (2021). Lucas Oil Speedway recently announced the 2023 tentative schedule, which includes the usual variety of motorsports on the dirt oval, drag-boat track and off-road course.
