WHEATLAND, Mo. -- With unseasonably cool August temps greeting fans in attendance this past Saturday night, the action on the track at Lucas Oil Speedway was certainly hot for TA/Petro Fan Appreciation Night.

"Wow, what a show!" exclaimed track General Manager Dan Robinson at the conclusion of the final event of the evening after 112 cars made their way onto the racetrack for an action packed night of side by side dirt track racing.

In addition to the purse payout, each main event winner also received a $300 gift certificate for the Lucas Oil Speedway parts store courtesy of TA/Petro.

A strong field of Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds were on hand as Sparta's Steve Muilenburg picked up his first ever USRA Modified win at Lucas Oil Speedway after starting in the fourth row. Jon Sheets led early but Muilenburg was able to sneak by on a restart to get the lead and hold on for the win.

USRA national points leader Terry Schultz started third and finished third as he tirelessly worked the top of the racetrack. Nic Bidinger made a rare appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway to finish fourth despite starting deep in the field and Sedalia's Christopher Moon had a solid run to score a top-5 finish at the end.

Complete and updated points standing are available at www.LucasOilSpeedway.com.

Next up for the Lucas Oil Speedway is another exhilarating Lucas Oil Speedway Weekly Championship Series Event on Saturday, August 24th. All four weekly series classes will be in action highlighted by a special 25-lap, $750 to win USRA Modified Main Event. It is also ladies night as the first 3,000 women through the gates will get free admission to the Lucas Oil Speedway. That's right guys, 3,000 women in one place and they are race fans. Make plans now to be here next Saturday night.
