WHEATLAND, MO. (April 18, 2023) - The 31st annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by Missouri Division of Tourism on Memorial Day weekend will again honor Veterans and Military personnel for their service to our country.

This year’s event at Lucas Oil Speedway will include a pre-race concert sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions performed by Nashville recording artist singer/songwriter Lee Newton. Lee will also serve as the Grand Marshal of the event and perform on Saturday May 27th.

Lee Newton grew up in western North Carolina and calls Forest City her hometown and is a three-time Josie Music Award winner, including the Josie Music Awards Vocalist of the Year in 2020. She has received numerous accolades and is currently promoting her latest album UNLEESHED and her hit song “Carolina” under the McKinlee Records label.

Lee has opened or performed with legends Randy Travis, Ronnie Milsap, Ronnie McDowell, T Graham Brown, Diamond Rio, The Gatlin Brothers, TG Sheppard, Edwin McCain, Leona Williams and even sang back up with some of the original members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Lee’s personal sound is a mix between traditional Country, raspy Blues and a southern Rock flare to her voice.

Lee will sing some of your favorite cover songs while blending her own music into the show. Lee will also sing the National Anthem during the pre-race ceremonies that will include dignitaries from the state of Missouri and Military guests as we honor the veterans and military with a huge American flag held in the infield.
