LASALLE, Ill. – The DIRTcar Summer Nationals Late Models and Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals events at LaSalle Speedway that had been previously rescheduled for July 26 have been moved to July 29.
With the late model competitors and their teams already having to drive more than 400 miles overnight to Clarksville, Tenn., from the July 24 date at Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Mo., the mileage to then go back to LaSalle on Sunday would prove too demanding for each of the teams.
After discussion with DIRTcar officials, Clarksville Speedway has agreed to host two nights of Summer Nationals Late Models and Summit Modified racing on July 25-26. Late model racers will battle for $10,000 on Saturday night, while $5,000 will be up for grabs on Sunday.
The modifieds will race for $1,000 on both nights.
