All Day Rains Force Cowboy Classic Cancellation

Batavia, OH (May 26, 2022) – Thursday’s 9th Annual Cowboy Classic honoring the late Allen “Cowboy” Chancellor, longtime MLRA Owner/Promoter has been cancelled due to persistent morning showers that are forecasted to last until late in the evening. Friday’s Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson as well as Saturday’s $50,000-to-win 30th Annual Show-Me 100 are still on track as originally scheduled.

The action on Friday, May 27th will pay tribute to Don and Billie Gibson, former promoters of West Plains Motor Speedway and founders of the Show-Me 100. The activities will include a complete program of: Allstar Performance Time Trials, Heat Races, B-Mains, and a 40-lap, $6,000-to-win, $600-to-start main event.

Drivers earn points on Friday for entering the event and attempting to compete, earning the fastest qualifying time in their group, and for where they finish in the B-Main or A-Main; those points combined will determine the line-ups for Saturday night’s $50,000-to-win, $2,000-to-start finale.

The Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds will be featured as the support class each night. Their activities on Friday, May 27th will feature a complete program of: Heat Races, B-Mains, and a 20-lap, $750-to-win main event.

The Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 main event will follow the Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge on Saturday night. The USRA Modifieds will cap off the weekend action with their $1,500-to-win main event.

Action-packed racing isn’t the only thing bringing excitement to fans in this unforgettable weekend, opening ceremonies are sure to leave everyone talking. The Nutrien Ag Solutions Pre-Race Ceremonies-presented by Missouri Division of Tourism will include introducing the Grand Marshal of the 30th Annual Show-Me 100, country music star and RCA recording artist, Aaron Tippin.
