WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 7, 2006) - The O'Reilly MRLA drivers and officials will descend on the quiet town of Wheatland, MO as they invade the "Diamond of the Dirt Tracks" Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday, September 9.

The O'Reilly MLRA has paid visit to Lucas Oil Speedway three prior times during the 2006 Thunder Tour and some of the tightest racing action of the year has been witnessed. On the first visit to the track Justin Wells took home his first ever O'Reilly MLRA win when he edged out Oklahoma resident Mike Brown by a mere .056 seconds at the line. Wells will be hoping to make a repeat trip to the Lucas Oil Victory Lane, but will be challenged by some of the Midwest toughest competitors including MLRA points leader Al Purkey, Alan Vaughn, David Turner, Jason Bodenhamer, Johnny Bone Jr., David Barker and the rest of the O'Reilly MLRA competitors.

The Lucas Oil Speedway gates will open at 5:00 pm with racing action set to roll onto the track at 7:00 pm. Adult admission for the night is only $18.00 with Seniors and Teens (12-17) set at $12.00. Children 11 and under are free while pit passes will cost $25.00. Also seeing action on the night will be the modified, factory stock, pure stock, and outlaw figure 8 classes.

Lucas Oil Speedway is located on US54 Highway at the east city limits of Wheatland, MO.
