🌎🏁 FROM COAST TO COAST... THEY'RE COMING TO LINCOLN SPEEDWAY! 🏁🌎




One of the strongest fields of the season is shaping up for the FloRacing Night In America Graue Chevrolet Showdown on Tuesday, July 21, as Super Late Model teams from 19 different states are expected to converge on Lincoln Speedway!




From Oregon to Florida, and from the Upper Midwest to the Deep South, the nation's top dirt late model drivers will travel hundreds—and in some cases thousands—of miles—for a chance at the $20,000 winner's payday.




The expected field represents the very best of dirt late model racing, including national touring stars, former series champions, rising young talent, and many of the Midwest's toughest weekly competitors. It's a field you won't find at many tracks throughout the year, making the Graue Chevrolet Showdown one of the premier events on the 2026 Lincoln Speedway schedule.




Joining the Super Late Models will be a complete DIRTcar Modified program racing for $2,000 to win, featuring hot laps/qualifying, heat races, and a feature event of their own.

• Grandstands Open: 4:00 PM

• Hot Laps: 6:00 PM

• Racing Begins: 7:00 PM

I believe the late model portion of the Lincoln show is picking up after qualifying. When it got rained out they had completed qualifying & maybe 1 heat race. Mods are a new show.

Ya might want to stay home this weekend if bent sheet metal ruffles yer feathers. Just sayin.

[chathamracefan]

Would have been better to just start the show from scratch IMO. Would have potentially drawn a few guys in the area for PDC that weren't at the original show. For a minute I thought we might have Terbo vs Bobby part 2.

Fairbury always delivers.. tonite wasn't bad with the exception of Terbo. lol
