Lucas Oil SpeedwayWHEATLAND, MO (September 23rd, 2014) – The time has finally arrived for the biggest Sprint Car event of the season at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO as the 4th Annual Lucas Oil Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial takes place this Friday and Saturday, September 26th-27th.

“I can’t begin to describe the emotion and the intensity that is already abuzz for this weekend’s event.” stated Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Dan Robinson. “The event is very special to everyone involved and the top drivers throughout the nation will descend upon Wheatland, Missouri as they all want to hang the coveted Hockett/McMillin Memorial trophy on their wall.”

Headlined by the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real, the ASCS National Tour will be joined by the Speedway Motors Warrior Region as the Missouri arm of the ASCS Nation wraps up their 2014 season. Also on the card will be the Impact Signs W.A.R. Non-Wing Sprint Cars.

Friday and Saturday Night, both the Lucas Oil ASCS Winged Sprint Cars and the Impact Signs WAR Wingless Sprint Cars will each run complete shows including Heats, B-mains, and A-Main Events with both nights set to be filmed by the Lucas Oil Production Studios for broadcast on MavTV at a later date.

Rounds 14 and 15 for the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour at the “Diamond of Dirt Tracks” since 2006, Jason Johnson leads the series in wins with three to his credit, including the first two Hockett/McMillin Memorial events. The four time Lucas Oil ASCS National Champion is the only driver to have made all 13 previous National Tour A-Features at the Lucas Oil Speedway. A pair of top five finishes this past weekend at the I-80 Speedway has propelled Jason Johnson from fourth in tour standings to second.

Brad Loyet brings a 72 point advantage into the weekend double-header. Loyet’s best finish at the Lucas Oil Speedway came during the 2014 Speedweek appearance on June 21, crossing third behind Christopher Bell and Tim Crawley.

Defending Hockett/McMillin Memorial Champion, Johnny Herrera, jumped two spots to third going into the fourth annual event with Jeff Swindell slipping from third to fourth after suffering a massive crash in the start of Friday night’s feature at the I-80 Speedway. Swindell has placed on the podium once at the Lucas Oil Speedway, doing so on June 22, 2013.

Having to go to a backup car following night one of the Fall Brawl, Sam Hafertepe, Jr. found himself tangled up while trying to avoid another crash on Saturday. The pair of DNF’s forced the No. 15 from second to fifth in tour standings. Hafertepe’s first of two A-Feature appearances at the Lucas Oil Speedway was on September 30, 2006 where the Sunnyvale, Texas driver placed ninth.

Sixth place Seth Bergman has a best finish of eighth at the Lucas Oil Speedway. Seventh place Matt Covington has placed fourth. Tony Bruce, Jr. eighth, captured a preliminary night victory at the Lucas Oil Speedway on September 27, 2013.

Aaron Reutzel ninth has a best finish of eleventh with Blake Hahn, hoping to better his tenth place run in 2013, currently rounding out the top ten in driver standings going into the Hockett/McMillin Memorial.

Jonathan Cornell leads by 29 markers with the Speedway Motors Warrior Region. Cornell topped the National Tour at the Lucas Oil Speedway on June 22, 2013 after starting eighteenth. In search of his third consecutive regional title, Cornell has five wins on the season. Kyle Bellm holds second with Randy Hibbs third. Hibbs first Warrior Region victory came earlier this season at the Wheatland oval. Jay Russell and J.R. Topper make up the top five in regional standings.
