BATAVIA, Ohio — The annual Georgia-Florida Speedweeks calendar for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing will be significantly revamped prior to next season.
The rework will cause the entire Georgia-Florida Speedweeks schedule for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series to shift to a time after the Daytona 500. The traditional 12 nights of racing, with more than $650,000 in purse money available, begins at All-Tech Raceway, then moves to Ocala Speedway and wraps up at Golden Isles Speedway.
“Teams have been looking for a change to Speedweeks; we listened,” said Rick Schwallie, series director. “Racing in mid-January has become too daunting for everyone. The offseason isn’t long enough, and the gap between Speedweeks and the regular season is too much. The weather is also very unpredictable. If teams and fans are going to travel for Speedweeks, we want to provide them with a sure bet and give them an experience they can enjoy.”
The action will get underway on Wednesday, Feb. 18, with an open practice at All-Tech Raceway in Lake City, Fla., followed by three straight nights of racing from Thursday, February 19, through Saturday, February 21. Those events will pay $10,000, $12,000, and $15,000 to win, respectively.
From there, the tour will head to Ocala Speedway, beginning with an open practice on Monday, Feb. 23, followed by five nights of racing. On Tuesday and Wednesday, teams will compete for a chance to win $7,000. Drivers will be gunning for a $10,000 top prize on Thursday, Feb. 26, and a $12,000 top prize on Friday, Feb. 27. As the week comes to a close, $25,000 is on the line.
The Speedweeks schedule will conclude at Golden Isles Speedway in Brunswick, Ga. An open practice is planned for Tuesday, March 3. Racing action kicks off with a $7,000-to-win program on Wednesday, March 4, followed by a $10,000-to-win event on Thursday, March 5. Teams will vie for $12,000 to win on March 6, with Saturday’s finale featuring $25,000.
