WHEATLAND, Mo. (September 6, 2022) The annual tribute to Jesse Hockett and Daniel McMillin is just over a week away at the “Diamond of Dirt Tracks,” and already, 45 teams have pre-registered for the $10,000 to-win event with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network.
Happening September 15, 16, and 17 at Lucas Oil Speedway (Wheatland, Mo.), the list includes four previous event champions, of which two went to Victory Lane this past weekend at Lake Ozark Speedway.
Spitting the Labor Day affair at the one-third-mile oval, Blake Hahn (2019) and Derek Hagar (2014) are back for their shot at adding another Hockett/McMillin triumph to their name.
