Junghans Memorial postponed, Lucas Oil Speedway good to go Saturday
The 7th Annual USMTS Grant Junghans Memorial presented by Shop Quik was set for Friday, Aug. 4, at the Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., but Mother Nature had others plans.
Due to rain and saturated grounds, along with a chance for even more Friday night, $12,002-to-win one-night stand has been postponed to a later date this fall to be announced. The event will likely pair with another event on a new weekend.
LUCAS OIL SPEEDWAY – WHEATLAND, MO
13TH ANNUAL USMTS SLICK-MIST SHOW-ME SHOOTOUT
On Saturday, Aug. 5, the Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt brings the heat back to the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo., for the $10,000-to-win 13th Annual USMTS Slick-Mist Show-Me Shootout presented by Foley Equipment.
2021 USMTS National Champion Dereck Ramirez returns to try for his fourth straight victory at the “Diamond of Dirt Tracks.”
Considered by racers, fans and industry insiders to be one of the top five—if not the best—racing facilities in the nation, the Lucas Oil Speedway features 21 VIP luxury suites, a giant HD Jumbo Tron screen, Musco Sports lighting, Bose Stadium sound system, Go kart slick track for all ages, The Diamond Bar, the best track food in the country, and the nicest pits in dirt track racing are just a few of the amenities that set this place apart from the others.
Derek Ramirez has won the last three Lucas Oil Slick Mist Show-Me Shootouts.
What's more, this event is happening just two months before the 10th Annual Summit USRA Nationals in October, so look for a massive car count with USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Mods also on the program, along with Hermitage Lumber Late Models.
With 16 prior visits to the Lucas Oil Speedway, defending USMTS National Champion Dereck Ramirez has won the last three Slick Mist Show-Me Shootouts. Kelly Shryock, Jeremy Payne and Terry Phillips are two-time winners here.
Jason Krohn, Ryan Gustin, Johnny Scott, Zack VanderBeek, Stormy Scott, Rodney Sanders and Tanner Mullens each have one win in Wheatland on their résumé.
