WHEATLAND, Mo. (July 28, 2025)—On the dirt this Friday and Saturday at the Lucas Oil Speedway it's the 16th annual USMTS Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout presented by Foley Equipment, bringing the stars of the Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt for back-to-back nights of racing.

The USMTS Show-Me Shootout has become one of the highlight events of the schedule over the years, expanding to a two-day event in 2024 when Jim Chisholm of Osage, Iowa, swept both features. Chisholm, the reigning series champion, returns and is giving chase to five-time USMTS king Rodney Sanders of Happy, Texas.

Seeking his sixth USMTS National Championship in 13 seasons with five wins in 21 starts this season, Sanders leads Chisholm by 141 points. Chisholm has four feature wins in 2025. Tanner Mullens of Wichita, Kan., is third in the championship chase, 142 behind the leader with top USMTS Grant Jughans Rookie of the Year contender Joe Chisholm, also of Osage, Iowa, 255 in back of Sanders.

Kyle Strickler of Mooresville, N.C., is fifth in points with Terry Phillips of Springfield sixth. Mullens picked up the last USMTS victory, leading all 40 laps July 20 to win the 5th annual Mod Wars finale at Granite City Motor Park in Sauk Rapids, Minn.

The USMTS feature each night will pay $5,000 to the winner, with $600 to start Friday night and $800 to start Saturday at the "Diamond of Dirt Tracks."

Two divisions of the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series are also scheduled. The USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Mods and will be running for $500 to win Friday and $750 to win on Saturday. The Hermitage Lumber Late Models will also be in action both nights.

Motorsports fans can combine two forms of racing as action is set for both the dirt track and drag boat facility next door. During the day time it's the KDBA Summer Shootout on Lake Lucas with qualifying rounds on Friday and eliminations on Saturday. Fans can opt to purchase a two-day pass that includes admission to all the action, single-day tickets for both or single-day tickets for one or the other.
