Lyndal Scranton - WHEATLAND, Mo. (April 19, 2018) It's just a little more than two weeks until the first taste of open-wheel thrills at Lucas Oil Speedway.
The 7th annual Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps Open Wheel Showdown is set for May 5 and it will be a triple treat for open-wheel fans. On the program will be the Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region Winged Sprints Presented by Impact Signs Awnings & Wraps along with the ASCS Red River Region Winged Sprint Cars; the Lucas Oil POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget League and the POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Sprint League.
"When you get the two ASCS Winged Sprints tours competing together along with the WAR Sprints and the POWRi Lucas National Midget Series on the same program, it's going to be a fantastic night of open-wheel racing," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Dan Robinson said. "We hope our fans will make plans and get their tickets early for a big night of racing."
Last year's event saw Tyer Courtney (POWRi Midgets), Brad Loyet (Lucas Oil ASCS Red River/Warrior Region Winged Sprints) and Justin Grant (Lucas Oil POWRi WAR Sprints) post feature victories.
Loyet made a last-lap pass of Jonathan Cornell in a memorable finish to highlight last year's Open Wheel Showdown. Cornell eventually went on to win the 2017 ASCS Warrior season championship.
Last year's other series champions were Logan Seavey of Sutter, California (POWRi Midgets), Alex Sewell of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma (ASCS Red River) and Korey Weyant of Springfield, Illinois (POWRi Sprints).
