WHEATLAND, MO (July 7th, 2014) – The 8th Annual CMH Diamond Nationals featuring the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series rolls into Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri this Saturday, July 12th for their second and final appearance this season. “This is certainly one of the most anticipated events of the season here in Wheatland.” commented Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Dan Robinson. “It features the best late model drivers in the country here for one day, 50 laps, and a hefty payday of $10,000 to the winner along with a beautiful Diamond Ring to commemorate the win.”
John Blankenship held off a hard charging Jimmy Owens to take home the check and the ring in the 2013 edition of this huge event.
Other top drivers expected to be in attendance include Don O’Neal, Scott Bloomquist, Jared Landers, Eddie Carrier Jr., Earl Pearson Jr., Steve Francis, Jason Hughes, Chad Simpson, Terry Phillips, Travis Dickes, Ryan Gustin, and many more of the top dirt late model drivers in the country!
The stars and cars of the Lucas Oil MLRA will also be on hand to challenge the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series drivers in the co-sanctioned event. The Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds run in support of the Late Models and will be in action gunning for a top prize of $750 to win courtesy of Clearlight Inn.
