    Lucas 2024

    Just Tweeted, the chase will continue with some changes in 2024

    The 2023 @LucasDirt finale was one of the most talked about events in short track racing, but the series is making changes to how it will determine its 2024 champion. Hear what Series Director @Schwallierick had to say about it to our @MFRDirtonDirt 👇

    They should expand the playoffs to about 50 races and call it a championship.

      I have already forgot who won the last race and will be listed as the champion for 2023, but in my mind Ricky Thorton Jr. was the champion.

          I still don't like the idea, I can handle this better than a one race shootout on an mx track with cars. This is probably the way it should've been from the get go. Ricky would have still won the title with this format last year.

            what a novel idea! Lol! But what can one expect when a photographer is in charge of the series?

              Mentioning how talked about the final was without mentioning 90% of it was trashing the whole thing is a pretty transparent way of changing the narrative.

                Along with media personal backing him.

                Talk about doubling down on dumb. First they want a chase to prevent someone from dominating all season and running away with the championship, now they want to expand it so his accomplishments would have resulted in a championship. You can't make this stuff up.

                  Hope all you guys that are so negative on Lucas Oil don’t attend any of the races or subscribe to Flo.
                  Wouldn’t that be hypocritical?

                    I watch the races for the drivers and ... wait for it, THE RACE!! If you're of the belief that the sanctioning body is the show, you're giving them too much credit.

                      I am not being negative to you guys or positive in Lucas Oil. I appreciate all the dried and am very thankful/appreciative of all series for giving us the sport we live.
                      It’s just that so many are going complain about the points format until they die. 2023 is over- a mistake maybe- bit if they went back to the original format- many would still complain about that.
                      I think the statement in the above post about Tick being a previous photographer and now the director of Lucas Oil Late Models was a “ low blow.”
                      Forest Lucas drove a truck for 20 years before starting Lucas Oil Products.
                      Man it’s the Holiday Season: Let’s be thankfull for what we have and be thankful that a certain 4m’er is currently in time out. All the negativity will certainly be back when he returns.
                      Merry Christmas to everyone!

                          sometimes it's hard to admit when you made a mistake and should have left things as they were. so add a twist and maybe it won't be so obvious a false champion is getting crowned. again.

                            Very few complaints, but when total domination doesn't result in a championship.... it's all a gimmick, IMO. lol
