Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Partners with DirtonDirt.com To Broadcast Events "Live" Online
WAYCROSS, GA (June 10, 2013) -The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series is pleased to announce a new partnership with www.DirtonDirt.com, the leading on-line website for extensive coverage of dirt late model racing. The LOLMDS, in association with DirtonDirt.com, will broadcast three events this summer "Live" on-line through Pay Per View. The series and DirtonDirt.com have packaged a three-race swing in July as the initial events to broadcast "Live" on
DirtonDirt.com.
The first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event to broadcast "Live" on DirtonDirt.com will be the July 16th event at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, KS. Following that event will be the July 17th event at Hamilton County Speedway in Webster City, IA. The three-race swing of "Live" broadcasts in July will conclude with one of the year's biggest events, the $27,000-to-win Silver Dollar Nationals at I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, NE on July 19-20th. The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and DirtonDirt.com are working on additional events to broadcast "Live" throughout the second half of the season and possible additional races will be announced in the coming weeks.
"We're very excited to announce this new partnership with Michael Rigsby and DirtonDirt.com. As the series continues to grow, we wanted to provide a few events this summer Live for all the great fans across the country. DirtonDirt.com has been a big supporter of the series for several years now and we were able to reach an agreement that was best for both the series and DirtonDirt.com," stated Ritchie Lewis, Director, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series.
Both Lakeside Speedway and Hamilton County Speedway are new venues for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series in 2013. I-80 Speedway's mega-event is set to be sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series for the second consecutive year, after the series made its first trip to the pristine 4/10-mile oval for the second annual Silver Dollar Nationals in 2012. Brian Birkhofer of Muscatine, Iowa, claimed the win and the $26,000 first place prize in last year's Silver Dollar Nationals. Don O'Neal of Martinsville, Ind., claimed the inaugural Silver Dollar Nationals title in 2011, worth $25,000.
"We're looking forward to broadcasting the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series events Live this summer. All three of these shows will be exciting and action packed and a chance for fans to see these events located in the far Midwest that normally wouldn't be able to attend. It will be fun watching racers from that part of the country going head to head against the Lucas Oil Series regulars. We're very excited about the new partnership with the Lucas Oil Series and bringing several of their events Live this summer," stated Michael Rigsby from
DirtonDirt.com.
Fans can place their pay-per-view orders now at www.dirtondirt.com/liveEvents.php. Prices for the initial three-race broadcast are set at $18.99 for DirtonDirt.com subscribers and non-DirtonDirt.com subscribers. Two-day packages are available for the Lakeside Speedway and Hamilton County Speedway events as well as for both nights of I-80 Speedway's Silver Dollar Nationals. DirtonDirt.com subscribers can order either two-night package for a discounted price of $35, while the price for non-subscribers is $37. Non-subscribers receive a free one-month DirtonDirt.com subscription with any pay-per-view broadcast order.

Brady Smith Brilliant in Spring Shootout at LaSalle
La Salle, IL (May 11, 2013) - Brady Smith edged out fellow Wisconsin driver, Jimmy Mars by just a few inches at LaSalle Speedway on Saturday Night in winning the Jeff's Enginemasters Spring Shootout. It was Smith's first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win since 2008. Trailing Smith and Mars to the finish line in the $10,000 to win race was John Blankenship, Chris Simpson, and Don O'Neal.
"I have to thank Jimmy (Mars) for racing me clean that was quite a race, we are happy to be here in Lucas Oil victory lane. We haven't been racing much this year, I had knee surgery back in March, and it took a while to recover from that," said Smith. With the win Smith became the seventh different winner in eleven LOLMDS events in 2013.
Mars was seeking his first LOLMDS victory since the '09 North/South 100 at Florence (KY) Speedway, but fell just short of the win. "Congratulations to Brady, I hope the fans enjoyed that race, to run 50-laps here without a yellow says something about the track and the drivers in this race. We got boxed in there behind another car and Brady was able to get around me. I thought that on the final lap, I was going to get him. I saw him slide up the track and he left and opening, but we came up just short."
Blankenship was looking for his first win of the season, and watched the action in front of him in the closing laps. "I was hoping maybe they would get together and we could sneak by for the win, we gained some points tonight, those two had a great race for the lead, I had a good battle with (Chris) Simpson for the entire race it seemed like."
Completing the top ten were Jimmy Owens, Eddie Carrier Jr., Brian Birkhofer, Steve Francis, and Randy Korte.
In preliminary action, Eddie Carrier Jr. set the overall Time (Group A) amongst the 38 entrants, with a lap of 13.679 seconds. Randy Korte set the fastest time in Group B with a time of 13.993 seconds. Brady Smith, John Blankenship, Don O'Neal, and Chris Simpson won their respective heat races. Kent Robinson and Brandon Sheppard won their respective B-Mains.
The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will make its next stop at Batesville Motor Speedway in Batesville, AR for the 2nd Annual "Bad Boy 98" next week, from Thursday, May 16th with an Open Practice night and continue on Friday, May 17th, with RED BUCK Time Trials and Heat Races. Capping off the weekend on Saturday, May 18th, there will be B-Mains, and the 98-Lap, $20,000-to-win "Bad Boy 98" main event. For more information on BMS, log onto www.batesvillemotorspeedway.net.
