About Lucas Oil Speedway
The Lucas Oil Speedway is considered by Industry Insiders to be one of the top five Dirt Tracks in the Nation. Located in Wheatland Missouri about an hour north of Springfield and only about an hour and a half from Kansas City. It's called "The Diamond of Dirt Tracks" and it certainly lives up to that title. Twenty one luxury suites, a giant HD Jumbo Tron Screen, Musco Sports lighting, a Bose Stadium Sound System, Go Kart Track for all ages, The Diamond Bar, the best track food in the country, and the nicest pits in dirt track racing are just a few of the amenities that set us apart.
We host some of the largest dirt track events in the Midwest featuring some of the biggest names in racing including: The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, The Lucas Oil Pro-Pulling League, The Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Cars, The Lucas Oil Sprint Bandits, and The Lucas Oil MLRA.
In addition to the awesome special events, the Lucas Oil Speedway hosts the "Rockstar Energy Drink Championship Series" of weekly racing featuring the Transport Graphics Late Models, the Pitt's Homes A-Modifieds, and the Carson's Corner Napa Factory Stocks. The National Race Media has called these shows, "some of the Best Weekly Racin' in the Nation!"
Last season the speedway boasted over 15 Nationally Televised Events on ESPN2, SPEED CHANNEL and the Versus Network. For complete information including this seasons schedule, log on to www.LucasOilSpeedway.com.
