Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series is a
dirt late model touring series owned and operated by
Lucas Oil. The series competes on
dirt ovals across the
United States, primarily throughout the east coast
and the midwest. The cars feature a purpose-built
chassis design specifically for dirt late model racing.
With many chassis builders within the sport, chassis
design and components are always on the cutting edge of
innovation and technology. The cars are powered by
aluminum-head
V8 engines (usually ranging between 400c.i. and
430c.i.) that produce over 800 horsepower.
Among the marquee races on the Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series schedule include Winternationals at
East Bay Raceway Park, Show-Me 100 at
Lucas Oil Speedway, Silver Dollar Nationals at
I-80 Speedway, Topless 100 at

Nationals at
