Batavia, OH – Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series teams are preparing for the Dirt Track Bank Go 50 and the 12th and final Imperial Tile Silver Dollar Nationals at I-80 Speedway.

The heats will award passing/ finishing points to drivers, which will line up Saturday’s A-Main and B-Mains. The Top-18 in passing/ finishing points will be locked into Saturday’s show, with the balance of drivers going to a B-Main. Each heat race in both the Strobel Manufacturing Round 1 and Hoker Trucking Round 2 will pay the Top-3 finishers $250, $150, and $100 respectively.

In addition to the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, the Modified division will also be racing on Friday and Saturday with Hot Laps, Heats, B-Mains, and an A-Main each night. While waiting for racing action to begin on Saturday, test your skills in a Cornhole Tournament at 1:00PM CT, attend the Dirt Racing Outreach Service at 3:00PM CT, and Driver Autograph Session at 4:00PM CT.
