Hoping third try is the charm, Lucas Oil Speedway looks to open 2018 season on Saturday
By Lyndal Scranton (Wheatland, MO) -- Most everyone has been frustrated by the cold, wet April weather. Racing drivers and fans are no exception.
"It's been tough," USRA B-Mod driver Taylor Moore said. "The main thing is you want to try and get comfortable with the weather and the car working together as one. It's been hard to do that.

"We want sunshine," Moore added. "It's hard to get into a good rhythm when you race one week and are off the next."

It's $uper $aver $pecial Night Presented by OnMedia/Dish/DirectTV with discounted admission for action in all four divisions - Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds, Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods, Warsaw Auto Marine & RV ULMA Late Models and Big O Tires Street Stocks.
