Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Announces 'Reopening Tour'

Image
Lucas Oil Products has announced the return to racing in 2020 for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series following several postponements and cancellations due to COVID-19. 

The “Lucas Oil Reopening Tour” provides the purse for six newly added May events. With these events, along with the races contested at Speedweeks, the series drivers will still compete in 54 of the 57 original 2020 LOLMDS tour events. The number of scheduled televised races will remain as originally scheduled.

Because of the scheduling changes, a pair of $7,000-to-win events, on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 12-13, at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO, will signal the return, with all late model teams invited. These events will be fan-less, but fans will get a chance to tune in live, via LucasOilRacing.tv, and free on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Facebook page at 7:30 PM ET/6:30 PM CT. In addition to the back-to-back weekday races, Lucas Oil Speedway will hold a practice session on Monday, May 11 (closed to the public).

To view the revised 2020 schedule, see below or visit lucasdirt.com/events/schedule.

In addition to race schedule updates, the “Sunoco Road to Wheatland” is now the “Sunoco Road to East Bay". All teams that have perfect attendance with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series in 2020, through May 27, will receive the $1,500 bonus from Sunoco Race Fuels.
