Will LOLM survive after the passing of Forrest Lucas?

I've heard his children aren't much into the dirt track stuff.

I think the series will continue. Probably becomes a property of FloRacing or High Limit. Maybe Kubota expands their sponsorship and does both the High Limit Sprint Cars and High Limit Late Models. I could see the FloRacing Night in America series being merged into the current Lucas series like the original High Limit Sprint Series was merged with the All Star sprints to become the current High Limit tour. Bring Castrol on board with Kubota, Big River Steel, etc. to fund the tour.

Does tin man have a sheet metal c0ck? It may not wear the Lucas name anymore but it will survive

I tend to think the Lucas Oil tour will survive maybe under a different title but it will service. Maybe we get lucky and see new track on tour each year instead of the usual same tracks year after year.
personally I like to see new tracks instead of a services being complacent and same boring $h!t.

Agree. I know the tracks have to want the series and not all can afford a national touring series, but it seems like it’s a copy and paste schedule each year.

I think it will change dramatically and not for the better

You mean it could actually get worse?

FloRacing Night in America presented by Kubota will return in 2026.

The thing I don't like about Lucas is how they quietly make something political. Protect the Harvest is one of their projects. Not going into details but it is not something I would support. Guess you would have to be from Missouri to get it. I somehow got included in one of their e mail chains and had to ask to be removed. Protect the Harvest isn't what it seems.

What do you think sponsorship of the series was costing Lucas every year? If it wasn't out of this world, another sponsor might step up to the plate. As for Lucas Oil Speedway, who knows?

Lucas didn’t just sponsor the series: He owned it.
