FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wheatland, MO (August 27, 2014) - This weekend marks the return of the Lucas Oil MLRA to its home track, Lucas Oil Speedway, for the G2 Gemini MLRA Summer Shootout Saturday evening. Ran in conjunction with the 4th Annual Diamond Drag Boat Nationals held at the adjacent Lake Lucas, the stars of the Lucas Oil MLRA will headline a top-shelf dirt racing program this weekend.

Just three races are left on the docket for the 2014 campaign, and the battle at the top is close between Chad Simpson and Terry Phillips. Phillips is 69 markers back in second. Both drivers get around Lucas Oil Speedway well, so the fight to the finish promises to be good.

A little further back in the standings is Woodward, Oklahoma's Tommy Weder Jr, a modified transplant who is in his second year racing with the series on a near full-time basis. "We've really had a season kind of summed up with just bad luck," stated Weder. "We've been leading heat races or running up front in races and had several flat tires. Two weekend's ago at the Topless 100, we broke an oil belt. Hopefully we've got all that behind us now."

"I really look forward to the facility, every time we go to Lucas Oil Speedway," continued Weder. "It's a beautiful place to race at. During the Show Me 100 we won the Midwest Sheet Metal Show Me Challenge, and got to start at the back of the 100 lapper. We we're real good during that race and took some notes. It was the best I've ever felt there. We'll be pretty close to that when we show up Saturday. There have been some pretty good races there this year. Hopefully we can be up near the front this weekend."

In support class action the Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds will run for a special $1,000 to win top prize, with the purse nearly doubled all the way through the field. The added money is courtesy of Bret Givens Construction and Behlin Building Systems.
