Lucas Oil Speedway and as a nation will recognize Memorial Day as a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning the U.S. military personnel who have died while serving in the Armed Forces as part of the Memorial Day Weekend and the Show-Me 100.
Following opening ceremonies there will be B-mains and the Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge that is always dramatic as the final chance for drivers to get into the Show-Me 100.
