Wheatland, Missouri (September 12, 2013) – Anticipation continues to build for what has become one of the most coveted Sprint Car Shows in the nation, the 3rd Annual Lucas Oil ASCS Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial which is now just 2-weeks away! “It is rare that both the Winged and the Non-Winged cars compete on the same night at the same track but to do it two nights in a row in memory of Jesse and Daniel is really something special for open wheel fans, and it is a great honor for us to host the event here at Lucas Oil Speedway.” commented Track General Manager Dan Robinson.

The Winged Sprint Car portion of the event is headlined by the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour Presented by MavTV with support from the Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region. The Impact Signs, Awnings, & Wraps WAR Wingless Auto Racing Sprint Cars Presented by Impact4800.com will also race as part of the mega open wheel event on Friday and Saturday, September 27th & 28th at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri.

As an added bonus, Grain Valley, Missouri fan favorite Brian Brown will pilot a specially themed JHR #77 for the event as a tribute to Jesse and Daniel. “I am absolutely honored that Jack and Connie Hockett and whole Hockett family have asked us to fly Jesse’s famous #77 during the Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial. All of us at Brian Brown Racing are going to work as hard as we can to carry the #77 with pride and hopefully win the whole thing!” exclaimed Brown, driver of the Casey’s General Stores/FVP/Impact Signs Winged Sprint Car. Rattlesnake Bend, Arizona’s Casey Shuman, son of National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Ron Shuman is scheduled to pilot the Jack Hockett Racing WAR Wingless entry both nights.
