WHEATLAND — Sprint cars are in the spotlight at Lucas Oil Speedway this week with the 7th annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial, Thursday through Saturday.

Full programs for both the American Sprint Car Series Winged Sprints and the POWRi Wingless Sprints are set for all three nights, culminating with Saturday’s $10,000-to-win feature for the ASCS Winged Sprints.

The event is named in memory of open-wheel champion and Missouri native Jesse Hockett, who lost his life in a shop accident in 2010 and his cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, who was killed in an automobile accident in 2006.
