Countdown is on for Show Me 100 at Lucas Oil Speedway
By Lyndal Scranton (Wheatland, MO) -- Less than two weeks remain until Lucas Oil Speedway's biggest event of the season, with a limited number of three-day reserved seats remaining for the 27th annual Show-Me 100 Presented by Protecttheharvest.com.
The May 23-25 crown jewel dirt Late Model event for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA Series will have full programs all three nights for both the Late Models and Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds. Three-day passes are $100 and offer the comfort of high-back, stadium-style seats in the top few rows of the front-straightaway grandstand.

"We're looking forward to seeing everyone for three great nights of racing," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "Whether fans want to inquire about the reserved grandstand seating or camping spots, now is the time to do it."
Fans interested in purchasing the three-day passes need to contact Admissions Director Nichole McMillan at (417) 282-5984 or via email at nichole@lucasoilspeedway.com. McMillan reminded ticket buyers that three-day reserved tickets are non-refundable.
Pit passes are not a part of the reserved-seat package and pit passes cannot be exchanged or used toward purchase of the reserved-seat package. However, there is a three-day pit pass that includes general admission seating in addition to pit-area access.
Action kicks off on May 23 with the "Cowboy Classic" headlining the program, with a $6,000-to-win, $600-to-start main event for the Late Models which also enables drivers to earn valuable points toward starting position into the final-night main event.
The "Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson" on May 24 also will see a $6,000-to-win feature with more points earned for the starting lineup the next night.
The May 25 program includes B Mains, the Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge and the 100-lap, $30,000-to-win main event along with a $1,200-to-win USRA Modified feature.
