Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series competitors invade Wheatland for the 32nd annual Show-Me 100, the state’s richest Late Model event and longtime Memorial Day weekend tradition.

Action continues with Friday’s 40-lap, $10,000-to-win Don and Billie Gibson tribute, honoring the longtime West Plains Motor Speedway owners and Show-Me 100 founders. Thursday and Friday’s preliminary results help set the stage for consolations and Saturday’s 100-lap, $50,000-to-win finale.

Date: Friday, May 24 / Saturday, May 25

Track: Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo. (semi-banked half-mile oval)

Sanction: Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series/Lucas Oil Midwest LateModel Racing Association

Purse: $10,000-to-win / $50,000-to-win

Streaming: FloRacing; hot laps at 6 p.m. CDT

Key notes:  Ricky Thornton Jr. used a late-race restart to pass Garrett Alberson and led the final two laps to win Thursday’s $10,000 Cowboy Classic opener. … Jonathan Davenport, the 2015 Show-Me 100 winner, won both $6,000 prelims last year before leading all 100 laps contested and sweeping April’s MLRA-sanctioned Spring Nationals, collecting $27,000. … Devin Moran inherited last year’s $50,000 payday after apparent winner Ricky Thornton Jr. was disqualified for a deck-height infraction in postrace technical inspection, relegating him to a fifth-place finish. … POWRi Limited Late Models are on the undercard, nightly.
