Lucas Oil
Speedway Plays Host to USMTS Show-Me Shootout on
Saturday
WHEATLAND, Mo. (Aug. 2)
What
annually has become one of Lucas Oil Speedway's top
races each season returns on Saturday as the stars of
the United States Modified Touring Series pay a visit to
the dirt oval.
It's the 13th Annual USMTS Slick
Mist Show-Me Shootout presented by Foley Equipment with
a payday of $10,000 awaiting the feature winner.
Reigning USMTS National Champion Dereck Ramirez of
Woodward, Okla., will be seeking a third straight
victory in the event.
Ramirez dominated the
40-lap feature last August, beating runner-up Dustin
Sorensen by 1.828 seconds to become the first Show-Me
Shootout repeat winner. It was a key win as it helped
send Ramirez to the season title.
This season,
Ramirez will be looking to launch a rally to catch
Sorensen in the USMTS points chase.
Sorensen, of
Rochester, Minn., has five series feature victories in
2022 and leads Wichita, Kan., driver Tanner Mullens by
107 points and Ramirez by 179.
The USMTS has made
15 prior visits to Lucas Oil Speedway with Kelly
Shryock, Jeremy Payne and Terry Phillips joining Ramirez
as two-time event winners. Jason Krohn, Ryan Gustin,
Johnny Scott, Zack VanderBeek, Stormy Scott, Rodney
Sanders and Mullens each have one win at Wheatland.
The three-race swing for the USMTS begins on
Thursday at the 81 Speedway in Park City, Kan., and
continues Friday at the Humboldt Speedway in Humboldt,
Kan.
The event is happening just two months
before the 9th Annual Summit USRA Nationals in October,
so look for a big car count with OReilly Auto Parts
USRA Stock Cars and Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods also on
the program. The Stock Cars and B-Mods will be running
for both Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national and
regional points, as well as Big Adventure RV Weekly
Racing Series track points.

Saturday with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.
