WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 6, 2023) – Following a busy stretch of action, racing at Lucas Oil Speedway will take this weekend off before one of the season’s biggest sprint-car events makes it annual visit to Wheatland.<\/p>\n
The 13th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial, featuring the Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car division and the POWRi WAR Sprints, is set for three big nights at the speedway, Sept. 14-16.<\/p>\n
The pre-entry list closed at 94 for the ASCS winged sprints and officials have decided to split the field the first two nights, with $3,000-to-win features culminating those programs. Drivers will earn points each time they hit the track Thursday and Friday nights to help determine their starting position for the final night.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s list of entrants is comprised of drivers from 17 states (Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraksa, North Carolina, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee and Texas).<\/p>\n
