Owen entered this weekend's event as the reigning track champion at Lawrenceburg Speedway, having grabbed two feature wins and the title in 2022. The victory marked the decade-long sprint car veteran's first crown at the 3/8-mile oval where he'd long been a competitor in the sprint car division. Owen grew up just 20 minutes north of the track.
According to a release from USAC, Owen's greatest on-track achievements included a victory in the season-ending Dick Gaines Memorial a year ago during his Lawrenceburg title-winning season. In 2019, he won three times: in the Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series at Pennsylvania's Lernerville Speedway, at Indiana's Paragon Speedway and in Lawrenceburg's Night of Champions event. He also added a win in 2016 with BOSS at Lernerville.
