Herrera Heading to Lakeside, Lucas Oil and Car Show This Weekend

Inside Line Promotions - BROKEN ARROW, Okla. (May 3, 2016) - Johnny Herrera will return to 360ci sprint car competition this weekend.

"I'm just ready to race in general," he said. "I'm ready to get back to the routine."

Herrera competed in a handful of 410ci sprint car races throughout the month of April before he was rained out last weekend, which has him buzzing to get back to the track this Thursday at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., for the McCarthy Auto Group KC Klassic with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour.

Herrera hasn't raced at Lakeside Speedway since he recorded a 13th-place finish during a World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series event in June 2003.

He will then race on Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo., with the ASCS Red River Region and ASCS Warrior Region. Herrera was victorious at the track in 2013 and has registered at least two top-10 finishes there per season for the last four years.

"We're going out for one thing and that's to see if we can get the victory," he said. "We feel confident going to both tracks that we can be in contention each night."

In addition to the two races Herrera will participate in the Champion Oil 60th Anniversary Car Show on Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Champion Brands facility in Clinton, Mo.

"Not only can I race close to their headquarters, there's a stop in the middle for the car show," Herrera said. "They've been a big supporter of mine so this is a great opportunity for me to give something back."

Blaney Tackling Dirt Classic I-80 with NSL and Knoxville This Weekend

Inside Line Promotions - WINDOM, Minn. (May 3, 2016) - Dale Blaney is invading the Midwest this weekend.

Blaney and the Mainstream Holdings, Inc., backed CH Motorsports team will tackle the $10,000-to-win Dirt Classic I-80 on Friday at I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Neb., before wrapping up the weekend on Saturday at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa.

"We're really, really fortunate to have Muddy, Big Game and Tod Quiring supporting us," he said. "If we can go support one of his bigger events of the year that's a bonus for us. We don't get out there very often. An off weekend for us with the All Stars gives us an opportunity to run that race and an opportunity to run some laps at Knoxville."

Blaney has competed at I-80 Speedway, but it hasn't been since the early 2000s.

"It's been a long time," he said. "Probably 2001 was the last time I've been there. I ran there quite a few times from 1998 to 2001. That's a fun place to race on. It's really, really wide and it can get slick at times. You can run a lot of different lanes."

Blaney will then return to Knoxville Raceway for the first time since last summer when he qualified for his 10th career Knoxville Nationals A Main.

"We're going to have a motor in that we're hopefully going to run at the bigger races this year," he said. "It will be a good test for us to see how it will respond. It will be a good field of cars because of I-80 running on Friday. So it'll give us a good indication of how good we are. Hopefully it'll give us some confidence before we head back out in August."

Blaney has garnered three victories and 12 top-five finishes this season.

SEASON STATS -

18 races, 3 wins, 12 top fives, 16 top 10s, 17 top 15s, 17 top 20s

Hanks Prepared for Debut at Lakeside Speedway, Return to Lucas Oil Speedway

Inside Line Promotions - BURLISON, Tenn. (May 3, 2016) - Brandon Hanks will make his debut at Lakeside Speedway this Thursday during the McCarthy Auto Group KC Klassic featuring the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour.

"Earlier this year we won on a new track we hadn't been to," he said. "The way our year is going we're building some momentum and putting together great runs so I'm looking forward to similar success in Kansas City."

Hanks will then wrap up this weekend on Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo., which will co-sanction the ASCS Red River Region and the ASCS Warrior Region. Hanks enters the race with a 69-point lead in the ASCS Red River championship standings.

"Wheatland isn't my best race track, but we keep working on it," he said. "For some reason we seem to struggle there. However, with our recent success overall I feel a lot more confident heading there."

Hanks has captured a pair of feature victories this season and he has six top-seven finishes in his last eight races during the past five weeks.

"I remember when the goals were just to make the show," he said. "Going to a new race track I'm ok with a top 10. With the struggles we've had in Wheatland, a top 10 wouldn't be so bad either. I really think we can do better than that, but I think we at least want top 10s this weekend."

SEASON STATS -

14 races, 2 wins, 5 top fives, 9 top 10s, 9 top 15s, 12 top 20s
