WHEATLAND, MO. (May 22, 2025)—Lucas Oil Speedway kicked off the weekend on Thursday for the 33rd annual Show-Me 100 presented by Missouri Division of Tourism.

Willam Garner of Lebanon sprinted to the lead at the start and never gave it up, dominating the USRA Stock Car makeup feature postponed from an April 26 rainout while Jon Sheets of Nevada took the lead early and went on to a comfortable victory in the USRA B-Mods.

Garner finished a half-lap in front of runner-up James Ellis in a 20-lapper that ran caution-free. Mason Beck rallied into third with Blake Bolton coming from tailback to fourth. Christopher Sawyer was fifth.

“I just tried hitting my marks and running as hard as I could the whole time,” said Garner, who won for the first time this season by an 11-second margin. “The past three races I ran second and I told myself I wasn’t running second this race.”

Sheets took the lead from fellow front-row starter Ryan Gillmore on lap four. Following a lap-five caution, Sheets began to stretch his lead and was one-second clear of Gillmore by the midway point.

The gap kept growing over the second half of the race and Sheets drove away to a 1.8-second win. Gillmore was well clear of Robert White for second with David Dawson fourth and Thomas Casey fifth.

"Ryan got the jump, and any time the 66 gets the lead on you, you know it's gonna be a long race," Sheets said after his second feature win at Lucas Oil Speedway in six days. "But we were able to rotate the bottom really good there. Man, we've really got a rocket ship right now."
