Tonight means more than just another race night. We’re at the Diamond of Dirt Tracks — Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri — for the $25,000-to-win Hockett/McMillan Memorial finale. Three nights of racing, two sprint car legends being remembered, and one final 35-lap battle to finish the weekend. After finishing 14th and 4th in the two preliminary nights, we came into the finale 6th in overall event points, putting the Buch Motorsports #13 on the pole of Qualifier #2 alongside Rico Abreu. The goal was simple: win the qualifier, lock into the top 8, and give ourselves the best possible starting spot for the Hockett finale. Things didn’t quite go to plan in the qualifier as Rico got the jump and beat us to the first corner. That put us starting 10th for the 35-lap main event. From there, it was time to go racing. The track was incredibly fast all weekend, with qualifying and heat race laps pushing near track-record pace. As the surface changed throughout the night, we had to constantly adapt the #13 and try to work our way forward through a tough High Limit Racing field. We ultimately crossed the checkered flag in 7th, gaining three positions from our 10th-place starting spot and closing out the Hockett/McMillan Memorial with another top-10 finish. It’s frustrating knowing we had the speed for more, but that’s racing. We’ll take the lessons, keep building our notebook with Buch Motorsports, and keep pushing as we head down the final stretch of the High Limit Racing season. Thank you to everyone who came out to Lucas Oil Speedway, everyone who stopped by for an autograph, and everyone following along with this journey. Thanks to Tom Buch, Buch Motorsports, my entire team, our partners, and all of you who continue to support Tanner Holmes Racing. More racing. More miles. More chances to chase that next win. Let’s keep pushing. 🏁 #TannerHolmes #BuchMotorsports #HighLimitRacing #HockettMcMillanMemorial #sprintcar Follow Me on Social Media: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tannerholmes18 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/tannerholmes18t Twitter - https://twitter.com/tannerholmes18 My Last Vlog - https://youtu.be/UFqwr8XXo_c

Night two of the Hockett McMillan Memorial is in the books at Lucas Oil Speedway! After a rough Thursday prelim, we came into Friday looking for a rebound with Buch Motorsports and the #13 High Limit Racing sprint car. We came out swinging with a **3rd quick qualifying lap out of 41 cars**, then started 6th in our heat and raced forward to 4th to transfer directly into the A Main. From there, we rolled off 6th for the 30-lap feature. The track stayed extremely fast and grippy, making it tough to move around and find different lines. We managed to move forward again and finished **4th**, giving us another solid night and a big jump in overall event points. That result moved us from **14th to 6th in Hockett event points**, putting us on the pole of a qualifier for Saturday night's $25,000 finale. The top four in points locked directly into the first two rows, so we just missed that mark — but we're still in a great position heading into the finale. Now it's time to go to work. Tomorrow is the big one: **$25,000 to win the Hockett McMillan Memorial.** Jesse Hockett has a special connection to the Buch Motorsports team, so this race means a lot to everyone at the shop. We'd love nothing more than to put the #13 in Victory Lane.

We’re back at the Diamond of Dirt Tracks! This time we roll into Wheatland, Missouri, for the opening night of the 2026 Hockett McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway. With a stacked field of 410 sprint cars and $25,000 on the line Saturday, every night of this three-day show is important. We start the night by taking you around the famous Lucas Oil Speedway and breaking down what makes this place such a unique and challenging dirt track. Then it’s time to get to work with hot laps, qualifying, heat race action, and a 30-lap A Main. After qualifying 16th and starting 3rd in our heat, we battled our way into the A Main and rolled off 14th for the feature. From there, it was a tough 30 laps as the track changed, the lanes moved around, and we fought to find the right groove. We ultimately finished 14th, but with two more nights of the Hockett McMillin Memorial ahead, there’s plenty of racing left and plenty of opportunity to turn things around. Huge thanks to Buch Motorsports, our partners, our team, and everyone following along on the road. We appreciate you guys more than you know! 🏁 Lucas Oil Speedway 🏆 2026 Hockett McMillin Memorial 💰 $25,000 to win Saturday 🚗 Buch Motorsports #13 📍 Wheatland, Missouri Subscribe and follow along as we chase another High Limit Racing win! #SprintCar #HighLimitRacing #LucasOilSpeedway #HockettMcMillinMemorial #dirttrackracing Follow Me on Social Media: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tannerholmes18 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/tannerholmes18t Twitter - https://twitter.com/tannerholmes18 My Last Vlog - https://youtu.be/WUojelZs2fM
