Jackson, Sheets split USRA B-Mod Twin 20s on Lucas Oil Speedway's Fan Appreciation Night

WHEATLAND, MO.—Kris Jackson of Lebanon had a rough finish to the opening half of Lucas Oil Speedway's unique Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod Twin 20s on Saturday night, but turned misfortune into a trip to victory lane.

Taking advantage of a full-field invert after finishing 24th and last in the opener, Jackson led all the way to win the second 20-lapper after Jon Sheets of Nevada won the opener in a thriller.

As 104 cars checked into the pits on Mickey Fleehart Memorial Fan Appreciation Night, other feature winners were: Robbe Ewing (Hermitage Lumber Late Models), Cole Campbell (Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds), Kenny Carroll (Hickamo Super Stocks) and Chad Eickleberry (Show-Me Vintage Racers).

Jackson spun and hit a tractor tire guarding the infield in turn two with five laps to go in the first feature. He said it left the car damaged and, after making a couple of laps, he pulled off to await a fresh start in the second race.

When fans voted to invert the entire field, it put Jackson up front. He car was good enough to lead all 20 laps as he beat Dawson David, who also started on the front row after he was 23rd in the first feature.

"I was just trying too hard in the first one," Jackson said, noting that he and Colson Kirk got together battling for position, leading to his spin and contact with the tractor tire. "This thing drives like a square-body truck after hitting that tire. I had a lot of play in the wheel and it wasn't fun to drive, but I had enough track that it was OK."

Jackson earned $1,000 for his second Pitts Homes and Realty Weekly Racing Series win of the season.

Sheets made a late pass to win the first 20-lapper, overtaking JC Morton with two laps to go. While that win was worth $1,000 to Sheets, it didn’t do him any good for the second feature as fans voted during a 10-minute break to invert the entire finishing order.

“We can’t get any worse than last year,” Sheets said during the break. “We won the first feature and we wrecked out on the first lap of the second one. So if we finish, we’ll be ahead of the game.”

Sheets added that if he was sitting in the stands, he would have voted for the full-field invert as well.

Jackson set the pace as action resumed, opening a one-second lead over David that held steady over the first 10 laps. Of the high finishers in the opener, J.T. Carroll was running 13th by the midpoint with Morton 18th and Sheets 22nd.

With laps quickly clicking by as the raced remained caution-free, Jackson couldn’t shake clear of David as Casey Thomas ran nearly three seconds behind in third. The first caution didn’t appear until lap 16, with Jackson leading David by .778 seconds.

Jackson had a good restart and held on over the final four laps to pick up the win, beating David by 1.4 seconds at the checkers. Thomas finished third with Trevor Drake fourth and Chad Clancy, who started 14th, taking fifth.

Carroll wound up 12th, Morton was 13th and Sheets, after scraping the wall early in the race in traffic, wound up 20th.

"That's a case of a full-field invert. Nothing that anybody did wrong," Sheets said. "You just get so bottle-necked right there in the middle that you've got guys dicing and changing lanes and I didn't see the lane change coming."

Morton took command at the start of the opener with Kirk and Carroll battling behind him. As those two swapped second, Morton built a 1.1-second lead by lap 10. Morton was two seconds clear when caution flew on lap 16 when Kris Jackson spun while running fifth.

Sheets took advantage of the restart by hopping to the high groove and passing Morton for the lead on lap 18. They were running side by side taking the white flag, with Sheets .159 in front at the start-finish line, when another caution came out.

Sheets took the one-lap sprint for the win, his fourth of the season, beating Morton by a half-second. Andy Bryant was third and Carroll fourth.

Ewing scores first Late Model win: Robbe Ewing broke through for his first Hermitage Lumber Late Model victory after four second-place runs this season. The Stockton driver and points leader outran the field by more than six seconds to win the 20-lap feature.

Ewing said running up front in a B-Mod B feature in the race prior to the Late Model feature was beneficial. He hugged the bottom groove while leading all 20 laps.

"You never want to be in a B-Main, but I think it kind of showed me where I needed to be on the track," Ewing said. "It wasn't that fast around the middle or top."

Ewing beat Jim Greenway to the lead into turn one as the race began and he quickly opened a 1.5-second lead just five laps into the race. By one lap shy of the halfway point on lap nine he was turning into a runaway, leading second-place Alan Westling by 4.7 seconds when caution flew for debris on the track.

It was more of the same after the restart. Ewing opened a 4.2-second command by lap 15 and it was clear sailing as the race remained under green. Ewing finished a straightaway’s margin in front of Greenway with Westling third Dylan Hoover and JC Morton following. Greenway, however, was disqualified in post-race tech inspection, elevating those behind him a position.

USRA Modifieds win to Campbell: Long-time B-Mod competitor Cole Campbell of Mexico, Mo., posted his first Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified feature win, pacing all 20 laps to hold off Jason Pursley.

Campbell started on the pole and took he lead out of turn four on the opening lap Chase Sigg and season points leader Nic Bidinger following. Campbell had a one-second lead when the first caution appeared on lap four.

Bidinger moved into second by lap five with Jason Pursley into third as Campbell continued to set the pace. A lap-12 caution slowed the action and wiped out Campbell’s 2.1-second lead over Pursley.

Pursley challenged Campbell for the lead during two more restarts, with Campbell using the high side to hold the lead. Campbell rolled from there as the final five laps remained green and beat Pursley by 1.6 seconds.

Ryan Middaugh charged from 15th to third with Bidinger fourth and Dayton Pursley fifth.

"It feels great. I'm about in tears," Campbell said in victory lane. "I've been wanting to win here for a long time and to do it in an A Mod makes it even better."

Carroll earns Super Stocks win: Kenny Carroll of Camdenton overcame numerous late restarts to capture his third Hickamo Super Stocks feature victory of the season, holding off Tim Brown and Josh Jones.

Carroll and fellow front-row starter Jones ran 1-2 in the early going, opening a two-second gap on third-place Frank Escamilla by lap five. That’s when caution appeared and bunched up the field.

Carroll had an excellent restart and was able to open a 1.8-second lead over Jones by lap eight with Gary Clark moving into third. Carroll was ahead by 1.6 seconds when a lap-12 caution slowed the action.

Ninth-starting Brown advanced into the top three after the restart again, as it appeared Carroll was taking command, another caution flew on lap 16. Carroll was able to take it to the finish from there, finishing .890 seconds in front of Brown with Jones third.

"It was a real good night for us," Carroll said, noting that his son, J.T., got the car prepped in the shop this week. As for the late going, Carroll said the restarts tested his patience.

"I got to tell you, me and the good Lord had a real good conversation that last five or six laps," Carroll said. "I've got to give it all to Him tonight. I usually can't do that without screwing up and I don't think I bobbled any of that."

Tony Anglin settled for fourth with Will Smart in fifth.

Eickleberry prevails in Show-Me Vintage Racers: Chad Eickleberry of Warrensburg, driving a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle, led the final 14 laps to dominate the Show-Me Vintage Racers feature as the series was a special guest class.

Fifth-starting Eickleberry grabbed the lead away from Owen Evinger on lap two and had a four-second command by lap seven in the 15-lap Show-Me Vintage Racers feature.

Eickleberry had a five-second lead when caution flew on lap 10. Just after the restart, the race was red-flagged after Ed Neil took a hard hit coming out of turn two. After a lengthy delay and another caution, Eickleberry eventually completed the win.

Evinger held off Bob Werkmeister for second, 2.5 seconds behind the winner. Jim Thorne was fourth and Mickie Cook fifth.

"Thank you guys for all coming out and supporting us through all this heat," Eickleberry said. "I'll tell you, it was cooking in the cars tonight."

The evening was named in honor of Fleehart, the former president of the SMVR and long-time driver in the series. Fleehart passed away in 2023.
