Thursday Night, Lucas Oil Speedway welcomed an addition to the annual Show-Me 100 weekend with a $5,000-to-win Lucas Oil MLRA race. In prior years a Thursday night open practice kicked off the marquee event. Fans and drivers were enthusiastic about adding another night of racing.
Ryan Gustin ran second for most of the "B" Main, but a traffic helped Bobby Pierece get by on the final lap. Gustin finished third, missing the main event by one spot.
Jimmy Owens set the pace in the main event and jumped out to an early lead to take the checkered flag ahead of Tyler Reddick, Steve Shaver and Tony Jackson Jr. Jack Sullivan completed the top 5.
