(WHEATLAND, MO - August 15, 2019) - One lucky fan will experience the sensation of making laps around Lucas Oil Speedway during Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night Presented by Bill Roberts Chevrolet-Buick and KOLR/KRBK a week from Saturday.

For the second straight year, raffle tickets will be sold for a chance to win a ride in the Lucas Oil Speedway 2-Seater Late Model during intermission of the August 24 edition of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series.

"The 2-Seater Late Model ride proved to be extremely popular a year ago and we want to bring it back for the fans again," said Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton, who will be behind the wheel as the winning fan buckles in for a five-lap spin around the "Diamond of Dirt Tracks" during intermission.

"Bring your camera. We really want this to be a memory of a lifetime for the winning fan," said Lorton, a former Late Model driver.

Raffle tickets will be sold that evening with the winning ticket drawn just prior to intermission. Tickets will be sold for $2 each, six for $10 or 12 for $20. Fans must be 18 years of age or older to participate and sign a waiver form.

"All summer we get the question, 'How can I get a ride in the 2-Seater?' This will be a fun chance to do just that," Lorton said. The car is displayed on the midway each week for fans to get an up-close look.

Class champions will be crowned in the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series that night for the Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds, O'Reilly Auto Parts Street Stocks, Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and Warsaw Auto Marine & RV ULMA Late Models. It also will be Public Safety Appreciation Night as all Police, Fire and Rescue personnel will be admitted free with an ID.

This Saturday, action resumes with Fan Appreciation Night Presented by Ozarks CW/Ozarks Sports Zone. The Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds will headline the program with a 25-lap, $1,000-to-win main event.
