Lucas Oil Speedway to host four UTV Short Course Off-Road races in 2022
WHEATLAND, MO. (March 18, 2022) - Lucas Oil Speedway has announced four races for UTV Short Course Off-Road Racing on the speedway's Off Road course.
In the original Lucas Oil Speedway schedule released and distributed over the winter, there are dates listed for Kansas City Off Road Racing Association events at Lucas Oil Speedway on June 18 and Aug. 20. Those have been canceled.
"We thank Scott Morrow of KCORRA for having the speedway as a part of their series the last few years and we wish him all the best," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "Scott will be assisting us in our UTV Off Road events as we do our best to keep UTV Off Road racing growing in this part of the country."
Event dates are scheduled on May 7th, July 23rd, August 20th and October 15th. All are Saturday, day-time events with Youth 1000, Youth 170 Mod, Youth 170 Stock, 570, Sportsman, Women's, Pro N/A (Natural Aspirated), Pro Turbo and Mini Stock Truck classes.
Lorton said points will be earned at each event in each class with champions crowned after the Oct. 15 event.
Drivers can check out the rules & registration forms on the Driver Dashboard portion of the Lucas Oil Speedway website.
There will be a track registration fee of $50 for drivers in all classes. Entry fees for each event will be:
Youth Stock 170 and Youth Modified 170 UTV: $50 entry fee per event.
570, Youth 1000, Women’s, Sportsman UTV, and Mini Stock Truck: $75 entry fee per event.
Pro Unlimited NA and Pro Unlimited UTV: $100 entry fee per event.
Order of events on race days:
There will be one open practice session. Practice time will be posted at sign in. Practice is open to all classes. Track officials will control track entry, number of machines on track, and possibly lap count to ensure safety and track access for all competitors.
There will be a mandatory drivers' meeting between practice and the start of heat races. This usually takes place at sign-in and times will be posted.
Some events may require a change to order of events, race format or starting format. In these events, the changes will be explained in drivers' meeting.
Season openers: Lucas Oil Speedway has a Test and Tune scheduled for April 9 from 2-6 p.m. and another for April 16 from 4-6 p.m. The April 16 Test and Tune will be followed by the "Easter Bowl 150" Enduro race at 6:30 p.m.
Registration for Enduro Easter Bowl 150 is underway. Drivers can call the speedway office at (417) 282-5984 and pay the entry fee via credit card or print off the entry form from the website and mail in with the fee. The starting position will be based on order of paid entries received, but drivers can run any car number of their choice.
Early registration is $100 (includes driver pit pass) and continues through April 9. Registration is $150 after April 9.
Entries will be capped at 100 for the 150-lap race, which will see drivers start the action three-wide. The Easter Bowl 150 winner will earn $1,500 with prize money paid to the top 10 finishers.
The 9th annual Pitts Homes MLRA Spring Nationals are set for April 22-23. The Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series Spring Opener opener is scheduled for April 30.
