series champion Chris Gerchman will be among an estimated 45 drivers attempting
to qualify for the Lucas Oil Products 75 Presented by Bilstein Shocks on
Saturday when the Lucas Oil Modified Series returns to The Bullring at Las
Vegas Motor Speedway.
Gerchman, of Spring Branch, Texas, opened
the Lucas Oil Modified season with a pair of victories in the first two races
and comes to Las Vegas trailing Austin Barnes, the series’ most recent winner,
by 14 points in the standings.
Also expected to contend for the win in
Saturday’s 75-lap main event will be Matthew Hicks of Lakeside, Calif., who won
the feature race at The Bullring last November. Hicks is seventh in points
after posting top-10 finishes in each of the three races the season.
Local drivers expected to race in
Saturday’s feature include Pat Petrie of Henderson and Las Vegans Doug Hamm,
Tom Pfundstein, Aaron McMorran.
Jason Irwin of Albuquerque, N.M., who has
won both NASCAR Grand American Modified features at The Bullring this season
and is leading the track points in both that division and the Legend Car Pro
class, also is expected to attempt to qualify for Saturday’s Lucas Oil Modified
race.
NASCAR Super Late Models, NASCAR Bombers,
NASCAR Super Stocks, USAC HPD Midgets, Legend Cars and Bandoleros also will be
