There will be extra racing for a bargain price on Saturday when Lucas Oil Speedway holds its annual Mickey Fleehart Memorial Fan Appreciation Night.

All fans ages six and over will admitted for $5 with kids 5 and under free for the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series program. The Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mods headline the action, running twin 20-lap features.

The first will see the starting lineup based off the usual heat races and B-Main finishes.

The second one will be unique. The cars will be stopped on the front stretch after the first feature to add fuel, change tires or make adjustments if they opt to during a brief break. Fans will then vote on how to invert the lineup for the second feature—either the first half of the lineup or the entire lineup.

Based on the invert the timing and scoring will reset the field based on the invert and they'll race another 20-lapper. It will be a full payout for both races, paying $1,000 to win each:

1st - $1,000
2nd - $700
3rd - $600
4th - $450
5th - $350
6th - $300
7th - $250

Show-Me Vintage Racers return: The always-popular Show-Me Vintage Racing Club Cars also will be on hand as guest class and will be displaying their cars on the midway prior to the event. Fleehart, a founding member and long-time racer for the SMVR, passed away in 2023 and the night's action will honor his memory.

"We believe that we have the best fans in racing and this is a way to show that we appreciate their support," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said of the discounted admission. "This also is a night to pay tribute to Mickey Fleehart, who meant so much to those with the Show-Me Vintage Racers."

Points battles head for home stretch: Meanwhile, the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars also will be in action as the season championship battles head into the final month of the points season.
