WAYCROSS, GA (May 15, 2015)  The upcoming Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 – Presented by ProtectTheHarvest.com once again includes the Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge. The top-24 drivers that did not transfer into the Show-Me 100 (via preliminary events) will be eligible to start the $2,000-to-win, $250-to-start, non-qualifiers race – held prior to the Show-Me 100 main event. The winner of the 20-lap, Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge has the choice of keeping their $2,000 winnings, or forfeiting their earnings to start last in the 100-lap main event.

“We are thrilled to be sponsoring the Show-Me Challenge again in 2015,” said Midwest Sheet Metal Owners, Chris and Jan Davis. “It’s truly an honor to be involved with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil Speedway.
