30th Annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Set to Pay $50,000 to Win With Record Purse

WHEATLAND, MO. (May 20, 2022) – The Lucas Oil MLRA is excited to be co-sanctioning the Lucas Oil Show-Me 100-presented by ProtectTheHarvest.com with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series starting May 26th through the 28th. This year’s 30th Annual Show-Me 100 at Lucas Oil Speedway will pay a record $50,000 to the winner out of a total purse over the three days of over $233,000 dollars, a record total purse for this crown jewel event in 2022.

Much of the magic of the Show-Me 100 is about remembering its roots. The first two nights of the event pay tribute to some major figures in Midwest Dirt Racing as Thursday's "Cowboy Classic" honors the late Allen "Cowboy" Chancellor, former owner of the MLRA. On Friday, the "Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson" is a hat tip to the former owners of West Plains Motor Speedway who founded the Show-Me 100 in 1993.

The 30th Annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100-presented by ProtectTheHarvest.com kicks off on Thursday May 26th with the "Cowboy Classic” for Late Models headlining the program, with a $6,000-to-win, main event which also enables drivers to earn valuable points toward starting position into the Saturday-night main event. The "Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson" on Friday May 27th also will see a $6,000-to-win feature with more points earned for the starting lineup for the Show-Me 100 main event on Saturday night. The Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds will run full programs each night, also earning points the first two nights toward the Saturday feature that will pay $1,500 to win.

The Saturday May 28th program will include B-Mains for the MLRA/LOLMDS cars that have not transferred into the feature event through a heat race. Following the B-Mains on Saturday, there will be a 20-Lap Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge for drivers that did not transfer into the 100-Lap feature event through the B-mains. The winner of the Midwest Show-Me Challenge will earn $2,500 or can forfeit the winner’s purse and elect to start last in the Show-Me 100 feature event.

This year’s Show-Me 100-Lap feature event will pay a whopping $50,000-to-win for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Lucas Oil MLRA drivers. Rising young super star Hudson O’Neal is the defending champion of the Show-Me 100, winning his first crown jewel event of his career at Lucas Oil Speedway in 2021.

The Nutrien Ag Solutions Pre-Race Ceremonies-presented by Missouri Division of Tourism will include introducing the Grand Marshall of the 30th Annual Show-Me 100, Country Music Star and RCA Recording Artist, Aaron Tippin. As part of the opening ceremonies the Clinton High School Army JROTC color guard presents the colors as Aaron Tippin leads the spectator audience in the Pledge of Allegiance. Danny Terrell an up and coming local country music artist will sing the National Anthem. During the National Anthem the All Veterans Group Sky Dive Team-presented by the Missouri Division of Tourism will display the American Flag as they precisely land on track for the fans.

Aaron Tippin will sing two of his hit songs, “You got to Stand for Something” and Where the Star and Stripes and Eagles Fly” just before the Nutrien Ag Solutions driver introductions- presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts on Saturday night May 28th.

Fans unable to attend the Show-Me 100 in person will be able to tune in all three nights, including a LIVE broadcast of Saturday’s program on the MAVTV Motorsports Network. All three nights will be available live on the subscription-based streaming service MAVTV Plus at MAVTVplus.com or via tablets or smart phones on the MAVTV Plus app.
