2064 9/16/2026 High Limit Racing Lucas Oil's Hockett/McMillin Memorial to Utilize Three-Day Format from Gold Cup & Skagit Points from Inverted Events on Thursday & Friday Set Saturday's $25,000-to-win Finale WHEATLAND, MO. (September 16, 2026) - The 16th annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial will run the same three-day format used at the Gold Cup Race of Champions and Skagit Nationals in recent weeks. The basis of Thursday and Friday's program includes one group of Qualifying, four Heat Races inverted by six-cars with five transfers available, and the A-Main lined up by points with another inversion of eight-cars thrown in. Once Friday is complete, the combined points from both days will be tallied with four drivers locking-in for the $25,000-to-win finale and the rest of the field lining up in Qualifiers. As always with Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing, all full-field events will count for championship points - meaning the standard two series provisionals will be available each night, but only award series points and NOT event points.
