Coca-Cola Night returns to Lucas Oil Speedway this Saturday


With defending track champions looking strong in the season's early going, the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series resumes for all four classes Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Ozarks Cola-Cola/Dr. Pepper Night at the Races Presented by KOLR 10 and Z27 finds the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods running a special 25-lap, $500-to-win feature. The Warsaw Auto Marine & RV ULMA Late Models, Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds and Big O Tires Street Stocks also will be in action.

Fans bringing any empty 20-ounce Coca-Cola product bottle to the main gate will receive $2 off general admission tickets. There is a limit of one per customer.

Tom Wilson of Ozarks Coca-Cola/Dr. Pepper said kids can stop by the company's display on the midway and get a ticket for a chance to win a Dr. Pepper bicycle, which will be awarded during intermission.

"We've been involved with Lucas Oil Speedway since the beginning and you couldn't ask for a finer group of people. We're proud to be involved with them," Wilson said. "We'll have one of our Coke pick-ups on display and the (replica) Coca-Cola race car that used to be sponsored by Coke and driven by David Goldsberry will be there as well.

"It'll be a fun night and it always is. Fans can get $2 off with an empty bottle from any Coke product and that's a pretty good deal. We look forward to seeing everyone."

In action last Saturday, 2016 track champ Jeff Cutshaw of Bolivar (Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds) posted a feature win while Kris Jackson of Lebanon is two-for-two this season in the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods.

Also on Saturday, the Ozarks Area Racers Foundation will make its annual appearance at the speedway. Along with historical racing memorabilia, the OARF will have information about the 2018 Reunion and Hall of Fame ceremony, set for Jan. 6 at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds in Springfield.
