Pair of Sixth Place
Efforts Over Labor Day Holiday Weekend
(September
2, 2024) A lucrative Labor Day holiday weekend greeted
drivers racing with the Lucas Oil MLRA Series, as a trio of events
in the Show-Me State were held from August 30-September 1. Up
first were a pair of races at the pristine Lucas Oil Speedway
in Wheatland, Missouri that made up the annual 'Ron Jenkins Memorial.'
On Friday night in the $7,000 to win opener, Trevor Gundaker won
his heat race in preliminary action prior to placing an impressive
sixth in the 30-lap main event. With a $12,000 winner's check
on the line on Saturday evening, Trevor finished sixth in his
heat race, fourth in his B-Main, and fourteenth in the 40-lapper.
The triple shot then wrapped up on Sunday with a
stop to Moberly Motorsports Park in Moberly, Missouri. A $10,000
first place prize was up for grabs in the annual running of the
'Wiener Nationals.' Trevor clicked off the third fastest time
in Group B during qualifying before running second in heat race
action. After rolling off from the outside of the third row in
the 30-lap headliner, the St. Charles, Missouri ace ultimately
finished right where he started... in the sixth spot behind only
winner Chad Simpson, Dillon McCowan, Billy Moyer, Tony Jackson,
Jr., and Chris Simpson. Full results from the MLRA holiday weekend
tripleheader can be accessed online by clicking on www.mlraracing.com.
