WHEATLAND, MO. (May 26, 2022) – Thursday’s 9th Annual Cowboy Classic honoring the late Allen “Cowboy” Chancellor, longtime MLRA Owner/Promoter, has been canceled due to persistent morning showers that are forecast to last late into the evening.
The Friday-night portion of the Show-Me 100 Presented by ProtecttheHarvest.com, the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson, as well as Saturday’s record $50,000-to-win program at Lucas Oil Speedway remains as scheduled.
The action on Friday will pay tribute to Don and Billie Gibson, former promoters of West Plains Motor Speedway and founders of the Show-Me 100. The activities will include a complete program of: Allstar Performance Time Trials, heat races, B-Mains and a 40-lap, $6,000-to-win, $600-to-start main event.
Drivers earn points on Friday for entering the event and attempting to compete, earning the fastest qualifying time in their group and for where they finish in the B-Main or A-Main; those points combined will determine the lineups for Saturday night’s $50,000-to-win, $2,000-to-start finale and B-Mains.
The Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds will be featured as the support class both nights. Their activities on Friday will feature a complete program of: Heat races, B-Mains and a 20-lap, $750-to-win main event.
On Saturday night, consolation events for the Lucas Oil Late Models and the USRA Modifieds will be held, plus the Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge. The Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 main event will follow the Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge. The USRA Modifieds will cap off the weekend action with their $1,500-to-win main event.
Action-packed racing isn’t the only thing bringing excitement to fans with opening ceremonies sure to leave everyone talking. The Nutrien Ag Solutions Pre-Race Ceremonies-presented by Missouri Division of Tourism, starting at 6 p.m., will include introducing the Grand Marshal of the 30th Annual Show-Me 100, country music star and RCA recording artist, Aaron Tippin.
General admission gates open at 4 p.m. Friday with hot laps at 6:30 p.m. On Saturday, general admission gates open at 3 p.m. with hot laps at 5:30 p.m.
