ASCS National Tour to roar into Jetmore May 23-24
$10,000 to win 2 day event will also honor Steve King Jetmore, Kans (April 2, 2009). – The hard charging competition of the Lucus Oil American Sprint Car Series (ASCS) National Tour presented by K&N Filters will make its way to the Jetmore MotorPlex for two nights of racing action, May 23-24, 2009. The Steve King Memorial, presented by Coors Light, boasts a $10,000 to win prize to the first car to cross the finish line. The Memorial Day weekend races are expected to include a field of over 60 cars. The races will also serve as a fundraiser for the Steve King Fund which is part of the Hodgeman Country Community Foundation. The fund provides assistance to local residents in need and provides scholarships to local youth. “I am excited to bring ASCS to the Jetmore MotorPlex,” Tony Bruce, Jr., who is promoting the event said. “And like many of my racing peers, when I think of Jetmore, I immediately think of Steve so it is only fitting that this Memorial Day Weekend racing event be in his memory.” King, a Jetmore native, lost his life after a sprint car accident at the 2006 Knoxville Nationals. The two time NCRA champion also raced the ASCS circuit. The City of Jetmore has proclaimed May 23, 2009, the 2^nd Annual Steve King Day. Activities include a golf tournament, parade, race car display, remote control car sprint car competition and a quilt show. Besides the happenings in Jetmore, the MotorPlex will be geared up for some serious racing fun. “All fans will be allowed in the pit area free of charge until 4 pm to get a close look at the cars and hang out with their favorite drivers,” Bruce added. A quilt with photos of King and his cars will also be sold during a live auction Saturday night. There will also be a drawing during Sunday’s race for a very unique one of kind Coors Light neon. Versus, the outdoor sporting channel, will also be on hand to tape the races for a July air date. There will be a sign contest and the winner will get to be on TV! And, adding to the racing excitement will be racing action by past United Rebel Racing Series (URRS) champions. The green flag will drop each night at 7 pm. Fans can enjoy savings off of the ticket price by pre-purchasing a two day weekend general admission pass online. For race details, entry forms or to pre-purchase tickets, visit www.tonybrucejr.com.

Gotta hand it to ASCS and their landing Lucas Oil as series sponsor. Huge car counts, great purse (minimum $6000 for national tour), good racing. Love 410 racing, but maybe I wouldn't even notice a performance change, even if there is 150 HP or more difference.

Adding $6 trillion of debt in his 1st term and now if 
elected again he wouldn't have to worry about an 
electorate in 2016 so the sky is the limit.And his EPA 
would continue to put the screws to oil drilling and 
mining for coal.Can you say bankruptcy.

Rilat Rules Lucas Oil ASCS Jetmore Opener!

Locks Into Sunday's $10,000 to Win Steve King Memorial Finale
Lonnie Wheatley, JETMORE, Kan. (May 23, 2009) – Travis Rilat snapped a Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Dirt Series presented by K&N Filters victory drought that was just 48 hours shy of two years in duration by topping Saturday night's 30-lap Steve King Memorial presented by Coors Light preliminary feature event at the Jetmore Motorplex.
The 2003 ASCS National champion gunned into the lead at the outset and led all the way atop a turbulent surface for his 23rd career Lucas Oil ASCS National win and first since a Saluda, VA, victory on May 25, 2007.
"I've been spending some time in the gym lately and that probably made a difference," Rilat relayed afterward. "Otherwise, the last half of that race might have been more of a struggle."
Rilat held off current series points leader Shane Stewart most of the way, with Zach Chappell taking the show position. Nebraska's Jack Dover took advantage of a late caution to race around Gary Wright for the fourth and final lock-in position to Sunday night's $10,000 to win Steve King Memorial championship feature event.
Originally slated to start the main event inside row two, Rilat found himself on the pole after a chaotic opening lap that sent four cars to the pit area before a lap was in the books.
The trouble started when 17-year-old Trey Robb, 19-year-old Chad Corken and veteran Kansas shoe Mike Peters all went tumbling in a wild turn three melee, with pole starter Darren Long then climbing a tire and flipping as the field checked up entering turn one. There were no injuries.
Shuffling up to the pole position, Rilat outgunned fellow front row starter Chappell at the drop of the green on the second start and never looked back en route to a boosted payday of $4,000 that included a $1,000 bonus from Dodi Miller's Machine & Welding of Seabrook, TX.
While Rilat led all 30 circuits aboard the Shark-powered F&J Construction No. 29 Triple X, Shane Stewart moved in to challenge on several occasions. But, with heavy traffic and some choppy track conditions, the Bixby, OK, native settled for runner-up honors aboard Paul Silva's Wesmar-powered ProBilt Construction No. 57 A.R.T.
Chappell, the 2001 ASCS National champion hailing from Talala, OK, kept Danny King's Ethanol No. e85 entry among the frontrunners throughout and claimed third to lock into the 35-lap Steve King Memorial finale.
Working forward from tenth, 19-year-old Dover charged past Wright on a lap 24 restart and held the crucial fourth and final lock-in position over the waning laps aboard the Eckley-powered 3D Auto Transport No. 53 Eagle.
Wright, the four-time series champion, tried to battle back as the laps wound down but had to settle for fifth in Scott Brown's ASI-powered Lubbock Wrecker Service No. 9x Maxim.
Defending series champion Jason Johnson crossed the stripe sixth, while Joe Wood, Jr., who followed Dover around Wright on the late restart, slipped back to seventh in the final frantic laps.
Event promoter Tony Bruce, Jr., claimed eighth, with 19-year-old Matt Covington and California native Paul McMahan completing the top ten.
Danny Wood, Garry Lee Maier, Long, Covington, Foster Landon and Joe Wood, Jr., topped heat race action for the 49-car field. Sean McClelland wired the field in the first 15-lap "B" Main, while Brady Bacon made a move around McMahan on the ninth round to win the second "B" Main.
After starting 18th, Bacon was up to seventh and climbing on the 24th lap when a broken suspension piece sent his Triple-X mount sailing off the turn four embankment and into a guardrail, precipitating a red flag. Bacon was uninjured.
Landon exited after coasting to a stop 12 laps into the feature, while Baldaccini bounced it in turn three two laps later to end his night.
Louisiana's Michael Dupuy dumped his mount in turn four midway through the first "B" Main without injury.
The $10,000 to win Steve King Memorial concludes on Sunday night, with action going green at 7:00 p.m.
