Buckner, MO (June 21st, 2010) - After a short three week layoff following the DART Show-Me 100 at Lucas Oil Speedway, the Stars and Cars of the Lucas Oil MLRA hit the road this weekend for a grueling three night swing.

Republic, Missouri's Brad Looney finds himself in a somewhat unfamiliar but well deserved position atop the Lucas Oil MLRA Points Standings with a four point lead over 6-Time and Defending MLRA Champion Al Purkey from Coffeyville, Kansas. Oxford, Iowa's Dave Eckrich sits in the third spot only 26 points behind the leader Looney. Fellow Iowa pilot, Chad Simpson occupies the fourth spot with Springfield, Missouri Veteran Terry Phillips sitting solidly in fifth. Omaha, Nebraska's John Anderson holds down the sixth spot with fellow Cornhusker and Dirt Late Model Hall of Famer Joe Kosiski clinging to seventh in the season long points battle. Arizona native and Springfield, Missouri resident Jeremy Payne will be in action this weekend as he hopes to climb up the standings from eighth while Massena, Iowa's Chris Spieker and Omaha, Nebraska's Bill Koons round out the Top-10.
