WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 6, 2023) – Following a busy stretch of action, racing at Lucas Oil Speedway will take this weekend off before one of the season’s biggest sprint-car events makes it annual visit to Wheatland.

The 13th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial, featuring the Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car division and the POWRi WAR Sprints, is set for three big nights at the speedway, Sept. 14-16.

The pre-entry list closed at 94 for the ASCS winged sprints and officials have decided to split the field the first two nights, with $3,000-to-win features culminating those programs. Drivers will earn points each time they hit the track Thursday and Friday nights to help determine their starting position for the final night.

This year’s list of entrants is comprised of drivers from 17 states (Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraksa, North Carolina, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee and Texas).

Drivers can still pre-register by contacting Terry Mattox via email to terry@ascsracing.com. Drivers entering now will be placed on a qualifying night.

The Hockett-McMillin Memorial recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, from Warsaw, Mo., who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006.

Wayne Johnson won last year’s ASCS Winged Sprint portion of the event while Chase Randall captured the POWRi WAR Sprint feature.
