    Default I80Speedway Offers Staggering Purse in July!

    Batavia, OH (March 5, 2021) - Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series officials along with I-80 Speedway promoters are thrilled to announce one of the biggest weeks in super late model history with an unheard of purse of over half a million dollars up for grabs July 20th - 24th.

    The Al Belt Custom Homes I-80 Nationals will start the week off with two, 30 lap, $7,000-to-win preliminary events, one on Tuesday, July 20th, the other on Wednesday, July 21st. Thursday, July 22nd will be the 53 lap, $30,000-to-win, $2,000-to-start, I-80 Nationals finale. There will also be a $2,000-to-win non-qualifier race that will pay $530 to start.

    The focus will then shift to the Silver Dollar Nationals with action continuing on Friday, July 23rd, with dual heat race action. The heats will award passing points to drivers, which will line up Saturday’s main event and B-Mains. Each heat race will also pay the top 3 finishers $250, $150, and $100 respectively. Saturday’s 80 lap Silver Dollar Nationals will pay $53,000 to win, $5,300 to start. Once again, there will be a non-qualifiers race which will pay $5,300 to the winner, and $1,000 to start.

    Championship points for the series will be awarded for Thursday’s Al Belt Custom Homes I-80 Nationals and Saturday’s Silver Dollar Nationals. All five nights from I-80 Speedway will be available for live viewing on MAVTV Plus streaming service.

    The Kosiski family's promoting skills are starting to rival their legendary racing abilities. Couldn't be happier for them.

    WRG really wants to put Lucas up against fence. Kinda like that 32 car and a bad slide job.

    Last year I saw Rocket1 take the exit for I-80 Speedway a mere 9 hours after their win at Fairbury. It’s not out of question to run both for some teams.

    Yes, some guys will skip I-80, some guys will skip Fairbury. It’s nothing new when you have that much racing in a short amount of time.
