Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) is a dirt late model touring series owned and operated by FloSports and sponsored by Lucas Oil. The series competes on dirt ovals across the United States, primarily throughout the east coast and the Midwest.
Overview
The North American Racing Association (NARA) debuted on the stock car scene in 2004. Founded by Spencer Wilson NARA was designed with the premise of enforcing fair, consistent, and equal rules among competitors. In 2005, Wilson sold NARA to one of its major corporate sponsors, Lucas Oil, and became the Series Director of the renamed tour for the next few seasons.[1][2][3]
At the end of the 2025 racing season FloSports acquired the LOLMDS from Lucas Oil Products, with Lucas agreeing to a multi-year exclusive title sponsorship agreement.[4]
The cars feature a purpose-built chassis design specifically for dirt late model racing. With many chassis builders within the sport, chassis design and components are always on the cutting edge of innovation and technology. The cars are powered by aluminum-head V8 engines (usually ranging between 400c.i. and 430c.i.) that produce over 800 horsepower.[5]
Among the marquee races on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series schedule include Winternationals hosted by Golden Isle Speedway in Waynesville Georgia, along with All-Tech (Lake City) and Ocala Speedways in Florida; Show-Me 100 at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri; Silver Dollar Nationals at Shelby County Speedway in Iowa; Topless 100 at Batesville Motor Speedway in Arkansas; Knoxville Late Model Nationals at Knoxville Raceway in Iowa; the Pittsburgher 100 at the Pennsylvania Motor Speedway; and the Dirt Track World Championship at West Virginia Motor Speedway in Mineral Wells.[6]
