We’ve been running pretty good lately and really felt like we had a car capable of winning last weekend’s Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event at Batesville Motor Speedway until I broke a suspension part in the rightfront while running in second place. We’re ready to go and we’ll be there Thursday for the MLRA $5,000 to win show and then try and win our fourth Show-Me 100 title and the $30,000 on Saturday,” stated Wendell Wallace, driver of the famous blue number 6M.

“I always enjoycoming to this event and competing against one of the toughest field of drivers anywhere in the country. Forrest Lucas has really helped to grow this event into a great weekend of activities and has a great facility to hold a truecrown jewel event of this magnitude. Having the event on CBS is huge and we’rehoping to get three in a row this year,” stated Jimmy Owens.
