High Limit Racing returns to Lucas Oil Speedway tonight

WHEATLAND, Mo. — When the Kubota High Limit Racing 410 Sprints appeared at Lucas Oil Speedway back on June 29th, Rico Abreu blazed around the 3/8-mile oval in 12.829 seconds for a new track record.

A severe thunderstorm shortly after qualifying postponed Night 2 of the Diamond Classic. The stars of Kubota High Limit Racing return to Lucas Oil Speedway on Wednesday night for the makeup, with a complete new program scheduled starting with time trials.

The forecast is for dry weather and plenty of speed in the mid-week program, which begins with hot laps at 6:30 with racing to follow. Pit gates open at 4 p.m. Wednesday and grandstands at 5. Fans with tickets from the June 29th rainout or wristbands from the pits that night can use those for admission.

The order of events will begin with time trails, followed by opening ceremonies, heat races, the Kubota High Limit Sprint Dash, B-Mains and the 35-lap feature.

There's an opportunity for fans to get a free upgrade to a pit pass while donating items for victims of hurricane Helene, which recently struck the southeastern United States. Kubota High Limit Racing, along with Speedway Children's Charities, Texas Motor Speedway, I-70 Speedway and Lucas Oil Speedway are joining forces to gather items for hurricane relief efforts.

While originally a diaper and baby wipes-focused drive, fans who donate new blankets and/or unopened diapers of any size and baby wipes will get one free pit pass upgrade per item at the track where the donation is made on that race night. Cash donations will also be accepted.

Lucas Oil Speedway donations will be collected at the VIP Door of the ticket booth starting at 5 p.m. Wednesday. Fans can use their tickets from the June 29th Diamond Classic rainout or purchase general admission tickets on race night and upgrade to the pit pass.

Donation stations also will be set up at other Kubota High Limit Racing stops this week:

Tuesday at I-70 Speedway in Odessa, Mo., donations will be collected at the High Limit Racing-branded pop-up tent inside the main grandstand entrance starting at 4 p.m.

Friday and Saturday at Texas Motor Speedway in Forth Worth, at the Texas Motor Speedway-branded tent inside the main grandstand entrance starting at 4 p.m.
each day.

Those unable to attend but who wish to donate may do so through Speedway Children’s Charities at https://www.speedwaycharities.org/events/texas/hurricane-helene-diaper-drive/. Any donor under the age of 18 must have a legal guardian present to sign the pit waiver.

The rescheduled $25,000-to-win Diamond Classic brings the 410 Sprints back to the Midwest, one night after the series stops at I-70 Speedway in Odessa.

Brad Sweet, a series co-founder with Kyle Larson, leads the High Limit Racing championship chase. Sweet, of Grass Valley, Calif., is 258 ahead of Abreu, of St. Helena, Calif. Tyler Courtney of Indianapolis is third.

Courtney beat Sweet and third-place James McFadden on Night 1 of the Diamond Classic on June 28th. For more information on Kubota High Limit Racing, visit highlimitracing.com.
