Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series resumes Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway
Lucas Oil Speedway's Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series resumes this Saturday night featuring USRA Modifieds and USRA B-Mods. Presented by iHeartMedia, the next-to-last program prior to the Midwest Championships will also find the Warsaw Auto Marine & RV ULMA Late Models and O'Reilly Auto Parts Street Stocks in action.
The full day of activities at Lucas Oil Speedway includes the inaugural Drag Boat Summer Thunder on Lake Lucas, beginning with qualifying runs at 9 a.m. Saturday morning. Fans purchasing tickets to the event will have free admission to the dirt track action that evening.
The drag boat weekend will kick off Friday with a Show & Shine from 5-7 p.m. on the Wheatland town square. Music, food vendors and drag boats will be on display. Activities will move a few blocks back to the speedway's drag boat midway area after 7 p.m. and, from 8 p.m. until midnight, the band Gotcha Covered will play at the beer tent on the midway.
The event, both at the town square and on the drag boat midway, will be free to fans and the public is invited to join the festivities.
On the dirt track Saturday night, points battles are taking shape just one week before mid-season champions are determined.
Robbie Reed of Mexico, after his second feature victory of the season, has a 58-point command over Ryan Middaugh in the USRA Modifieds.
Another defending champ, Lebanon's Kris Jackson, is 32 points in front of Andy Bryant of Fort Scott, Kan., in the USRA B-Mods. The B-Mods saw a big shakeup this week after Dillon McCowan, two points in front of Jackson a week ago, fell 41 points behind after failing to finish last Saturday's feature and finishing 22nd.
Gates to the dirt track open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.
