WHEATLAND, MO. (May 21, 2022) - Due to heavy rain that already has fallen overnight and more in the forecast, Saturday night's Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series program at Lucas Oil Speedway has been canceled.
"We've already had a considerable amount of rain and the forecast throughout the rest of the day and into the evening is calling for more rain and cool temperatures," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "We'll now turn our attention to the Show-Me 100 and see everyone next week."
The next Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series program is set for Saturday, June 11 as KOLR Presents $5 Night at the Races. Grandstand prices will be $5 for all adults, seniors and youth. Kids 5 and under as always are free.

The Lucas Oil Show-Me 100-presented by ProtectTheHarvest.com kicks off on Thursday with the “Cowboy Classic” for Late Models headlining the program, with a $6,000-to-win main event which also enables drivers to earn valuable points toward starting position into the Saturday-night main event.

The Saturday program will include B-Mains for the MLRA/LOLMDS cars that have not transferred into the feature event through a heat race. Following the B-Mains, there will be the 20-Lap Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge for drivers that did not transfer into the 100-Lap feature event through the B-mains.
The winner of the Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge will earn $2,500 or can forfeit the winner’s purse and elect to start last in the Show-Me 100 feature event.
