19 Year Old Lucas Schott Wins At LVMS!

Lucas

Lucas Schott may not be old enough to gamble, but he won big in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
The 19-year-old from Chatfield, Minn., survived an eventful Duel in the Desert to earn a Vegas-style check for $7,777.77 at the Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The first time was a charm for Schott in the 18th annual staging of the 40-lap IMCA Modifieds event.

“This is awesome,” said Schott, who began racing modifieds when he was 13. “I knew we were capable of making the show, and I’ve got to give credit to Kody Scholpp and his dad for everything they do and for giving me good cars to drive. I was able to pull it off.”

Schott started from the pole and led early before giving up the race lead to Jordan Grabouski of Beatrice, Neb., on lap 14. Grabouski pulled away from Schott before suffering right-front suspension damage, allowing Schott to regain the lead with 11 laps remaining.

Grabouski eventually ended up in the garage and finished 19th after Hunter Marriott collected him in a fender-bender between turns one and two on the next lap. Defending and three-time Duel champion Terry Phillips had a good run going early, but was taken out in a turn-three crash with Jesse Sobbing on the 12th lap.
       
Schott knew Lady Luck played a part in his victory. "I was just hoping (Grabouski) would mess up, and it looked like he had something wrong with his front suspension. I got the lucky bounce there. It all worked out for us.”

Scott Drake of Joplin, Mo., finished a distant second to Schott, with R.C. Whitwell of Bakersfield, Calif., taking third.

Tyler Frye of Belleville, Kan., pulled away in the final nine laps of the IMCA Northern SportMod 25-lap Main Event to secure career win No. 157, with Clay Money of Penokee, Kan., holding on for second just ahead of the Bakersfield, Calif., tandem of Nick Spainhoward and Chris McKellar. Frye won the 2015 IMCA Northern SportMod national title and said his team will work to move up to the Modifieds division next year.

 “This car is absolutely awesome,” said Frye, the winningest SportMod driver in IMCA history. “It’s awesome to finally get this win. I’d like to thank my wife, my whole family and my crew guys who decided to come all the way out to Las Vegas with me. It’s been a dream season, and this is an awesome way to cap it off.”

In the Young Guns race for drivers 19 and younger, Masen Big Eagle of Manor, Saskatchewan, Canada, led from start to finish to easily win the 10-lap feature. His brother, Jett, finished second, roughly half a turn behind, to make it a Canadian family sweep. “I’m pretty fired up, and I’ve been dreaming about winning this particular race ever since I started racing and ever since Riley Emmel did it,” Masen Big Eagle said. “It feels pretty good. I wasn’t sure I could pull it off tonight after my performance in that last-chance race, but Joey (Galloway) gave me a quick tip in the pits, we changed it back and it turned out pretty well.”

In the IMCA Modifieds Legends feature, for drivers 55 and older, race leader Steven Noland of Terra Bella, Calif., got locked up with Jerry Schram of Vancouver, Wash., in the final turn, opening the door for Rex Merritt of Billings, Mont., to slide by and take the checkered flag. Lawrence O’Connor of Port Hardy, B.C., Canada, also benefited from the final-turn melee, taking second behind Merritt, who was happy to receive the gifted victory. “I really want to thank those two guys for taking each other out,” said Merritt, who began racing modifieds in 1983. “I didn’t think that would ever happen. I’d really like to thank (car owner) Paul Stone for letting me race the car, and I didn’t tear too much up on it.”

Hard Rock International Acquires Elvis's 24 Karat Gold Leaf Piano

Hard Rock has 80,000 reasons to celebrate its world-famous memorabilia collection this week. At the recent Icons & Idols: Rock n' Roll Auction event at Julien’s Auctions Beverly Hills, Hard Rock International, known for its memorabilia at locations worldwide, has acquired its 80,000th piece — Elvis Presley’s 24-karat gold leaf grand piano. The most important piano to be offered from Elvis Presley’s history will join Hard Rock’s priceless collection of invaluable memorabilia pieces including handwritten lyrics, clothing and instruments from new and legendary music stars like Taylor Swift, Imagine Dragons, The Beatles, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Jimi Hendrix and many more.

“Elvis Presley’s iconic gold piano has now become a cornerstone addition to our world-famous collection, and we couldn’t be happier to celebrate such a milestone with The King’s prized possession,” said Hamish Dodds, Chief Executive Officer at Hard Rock International. “Hard Rock has been curating its priceless music memorabilia collection and sharing with guests around the world for more than 43 years, and Elvis’ piano is an important piece of music history that we can’t wait to share with our guests.”

Presley's grand piano was played by the King of Rock and Roll inside a music room at his Graceland home in Memphis, Tennessee. Presley originally purchased the piano for his mother in 1955 and installed it in his new home on Audobon Street. The piano was placed into storage after Presley’s mother’s death, until Priscilla Presley decided to adorn the piano in 24-karat gold-leaf finish as a gift for the couple’s first wedding anniversary.

“Hard Rock has a far-reaching connection to music history and we’re always looking to add show-stopping pieces to our collection, such as the King’s priceless piano,” said Jerry Fraize, Director of Memorabilia for Hard Rock International and winning bidder on the piece. “While we are still deciding where this piece will reside within our properties, the front-runner at the moment would be the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tampa, fitting for one of the most successful casino properties in the world.”

Hard Rock Cafe, Hotel, Casino and Live venues across the country host some of the world’s most fascinating pieces of memorabilia that celebrate defining moments throughout music history. Some of the most popular and iconic pieces include Jimi Hendrix’s Gibson Flying V guitar, John Lennon’s handwritten draft of “Imagine” lyrics and The Rolling Stones’ Vox Phantom Mark III Guitar.

Hard Rock Memorabilia Through the Ages
Hard Rock International is the world’s original curator of music memorabilia and with its newest additions has now expanded to an 80,000 piece collection. Hard Rock memorabilia is showcased at Hard Rock Cafes, Hard Rock Live venues and Hard Rock Hotels and Casinos around the world to keep music history accessible to its guests. At each of its properties, Hard Rock creates authentic and unique music memorabilia experiences that resonate and pays homage to music history in each city. Among the pieces in the collection are guitars and other instruments, clothing and costumes, platinum and gold LPs and other rare artifacts.

The story of the birth of Hard Rock International’s memorabilia collection is of itself a part of music history.  The collection was started when Eric Clapton, a regular customer at the original Hard Rock Cafe London, asked the staff if he could hang his guitar on the wall to mark his favorite bar stool as “his spot.”  They did, and one week later, a package from The Who’s Pete Townshend arrived with a guitar and a note bearing the message, “Mine’s as good as his!  Love, Pete.”

They're Back! Blue Man Group Returns To Luxor Hotel!

Yesterday Thursday, Nov. 12, international entertainment phenomenon Blue Man Group revealed its newly renovated theater inside Luxor Hotel and Casino during an awe-inspiring arrival event and intimate Q&A session with the group’s co-founders.

Returning to where Blue Man Group first took Las Vegas by storm, onlookers were amazed by the award-winning production’s unforgettable entrance. The arrival began with an electrifying drum solo by a Blue Man atop the theater. Moments later, the crowd watched as a pair of the blue performers repelled down the interior of the iconic pyramid before landing in front of the new theater. At the height of the celebration, the trio surprised the crowd by shooting off massive amounts of streamers before revealing the façade of Blue Man Group’s new home.

Following the dramatic entrance, media members were given a first look at the renovated theater including updated lobby, performance space and Blue Man store. Blue Man Group’s Resident General Manager and Vice President Jack Kenn along with MGM Resorts International’s President of Entertainment and Sports Richard Sturm and Luxor’s General Manager Nik Rytterstrom welcomed everyone to the new and improved theater followed by a Q&A session with Blue Man Group’s Co-Founders Chris Wink and Phil Stanton and Creative Director Jeff Turlik.

“I think this is the closest we have ever come to the perfect setting. There’s not a bad seat in the house,” remarked Wink during the Q&A session. “Not only can everyone in the house see well, the Blue Men can make direct eye contact with every single person in the audience at some point during the show, and that’s really part of the intimacy.”

Beginning Nov. 18, Blue Man Group returns to Luxor Hotel and Casino, where they first took Las Vegas by storm. The newly renovated Blue Man Theater has been custom designed for the ideal Blue Man Group experience with audiences closer to the action than ever before. The popular production has been transformed for maximum impact, with new music, new design, new technology, and a new finale created to bring the entire audience together for an unforgettable, euphoric celebration of life in full color.
