This is the first time that a Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event will air on the national TV network. The CBS Sports Spectacular is one of the longest running national sports shows.
"We are very excited about this weekends DART Show-Me 100 airing on CBS. Having the Lucas Oil series air on the CBS Sports Spectacular show is huge for our fans, racers, and the whole dirt late model industry.

Activities will get underway starting on Thursday, May 26th with a special practice session from 7-9:30 PM. On Friday, May 27th, the day will kick-off with Red Buck Cigar Time Trials; Red Buck will pay a $250 cash award to the fastest qualifier.

Also on Friday Night will be two special events that include the "Ohlins Shocks Manufacturers Dash", and the Appliancezone.com Race of Champions.
On Saturday, May 28th, there will be a Dirt Racing Outreach Service at 4:15PM, and a special ApplianceZone.com driver autograph session for the fans along the vendor midway at 5pm. Racing action will get underway at 7:30pm with B-Mains and support divisions. Capping off the weekend's events will be the 19th Annual DART-Show-Me 100 presented by Lucas Oil Products. The crown-jewel event pays $30,000 to win. Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC is the defending race winner.
