WHEATLAND, MO. (June 15, 2021) - Championship chases in the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series resume on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway as the second half of the regular season gets underway.

The Missouri Metal Buildings ULMA Late Models, Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars also resume points battles.
In addition, Pure Stocks return as a special guest class with a $300-to-win feature. Chris Countryman of Clever won on April 17 in the Pure Stocks' other appearance at the speedway in 2021.
To commemorate Father's Day weekend, all dads in attendance can sign up for a chance to win a reclining chair from Scott's Furniture in Osceola. Sign-up will take place at the Protect the Harvest table on the midway and a drawing to determine the winner will be held during intermission.
Fans also can view the Greater Ozarks Mustang Club, which will display their rides on the midway.
"After a great Midseason Championship program, we're excited to kick off the second half of the Big RV Weekly Racing Series schedule," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "The Pure Stocks always put on a good show and it'll fun to have them back.
"This also is good chance to bring Dad out to the races. He might even take a recliner home from Scott's Furniture."
