🏁 A Lap with Luke at Lightning Speedway

We spend a lot of race nights at Lightning Speedway, so we figured we’d show you around the place from Luke’s point of view.

This isn’t an official Lightning Speedway video or paid promotion — just a race team showing off a track and racing community we really enjoy being part of.

Luke will take you around the pits, the track, and some of his favorite parts of race night.

And if you know Luke, you already know the tour may be a little unfiltered. 😂

Come take a lap with Luke at Mississippi Thunder Speedway's Lightning Speedway.

We get asked if there’s a sibling rivalry at all - I think Luke answers that for us here :)

No Dad, no problem! 🏁

Last time at Lightning Speedway, Luke and Jonny both won —with Kim running the pits alongside Grandma and Grandpa while Jonny made the setup calls!

We also discovered Sammy’s seat had come loose, so watch for more speed as we close the season at the North Star Nationals this Friday and Saturday!
