Here's what to know about the points system in 2026.
How The Lucas Oil Late Model Points System Works
The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points system is a season-long point system that awards drivers based on their performance in the B-Main and A-Main "feature" races each weekend. Drivers must compete in 100% of events during the season to be eligible for points fund rewards.
After the August 29 Rumble By The River finale, the top 15 drivers move on to the final bonus rounds — the final five crown jewel events of the season — which includes even more cash bonuses.
