Lucas Oil Products, the Indianapolis-based provider of engine oils, additives and lubricants, has promoted Jamie Devney to president of Lucas Oil Speedway and Lucas Cattle Company.

In his new position, Devney will oversee all operations of the speedway, ranch and cattle company. Lucas Oil Speedway, located in Wheatland, Missouri, is a multi-sport racing facility that includes a dirt oval, a purpose-built drag boat racing lake and more.

Devney has managed the cattle company and the Ross Timbers, Missouri, ranch for the past three years. The cattle company serves as a research hub for Lucas Oil heavy-duty and industrial high-performance products.

"Jamie has been an invaluable asset to Lucas Oil over nearly two decades. His deep understanding of our company's mission and his expertise in building partnerships and managing complex operations make him the ideal leader for Lucas Cattle Company and Lucas Oil Speedway," said Morgan Lucas, CEO of Lucas Oil. "Both organizations are extremely important to us, not only for their commercial importance but for their contributions to the surrounding region in economic growth and support to nonprofit organizations like the Missouri Farmers Care Drive to Feed Kids and Feeding Missouri which operates several food banks in the area as well as the farming and ranching community at large."

PRI and SEMA PAC recently attended Holley LS Fest East, the dynamic annual event that brings together automotive enthusiasts, industry leaders and cutting-edge vehicle builds at Beech Bend Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky. As one of the motorsports community's premier gatherings, LS Fest East provided the perfect backdrop for the PAC to connect with supporters, showcase industry innovation and strengthen advocacy efforts for the automotive aftermarket and motorsports industry. 

A key highlight of the weekend was the PAC's hospitality tent, which offered PRI and SEMA members a private space to relax and network while enjoying catered lunch and cold refreshments. The tent also served as a valuable opportunity for members to engage with the PRI and SEMA Government Affairs team to learn more about the critical work being done in Washington, D.C., to protect the industry's interests. 

However, it could be said that the real showstopper of the weekend was the Hammerhead, a '73 Pontiac Firebird that is as much a piece of automotive art as it is an engineering marvel. Built by the father-son duo and owners of Horizon Motorsports, Russell and Cavan Cameron, this Firebird is a unique blend of classic muscle car styling and advanced IndyCar technology. Beneath its sleek body lies an array of high-performance components, making Hammerhead simultaneously street-legal and track-ready. Both fans and industry insiders alike were able to have a close-up look at the build inside the PAC tent, which underscored the importance of preserving the ability to innovate and modify vehicles--a key issue the PAC continues to fight for in the legislative arena.
