Wheatland, MO (March 31st, 2010)- With the 2010 racing season now only days away, Officials with Lucas Oil Speedway are pleased to announce a new and improved points fund for 2010. The 2010 Track Champions in the TNT Quick Shop Late Models, the Pitt's Homes A-Modifieds, and the Carson's Corner Napa Factory Stocks will each receive a minimum of $2,000, $1,500, and $600 respectively in cash plus an improved contingency program.

In previous seasons, only the Top 10 regardless of the number of races attempted were eligible.
