WHEATLAND, MO (February 1, 2012) – Officials with Lucas
Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri are pleased to release the 2012 Weekly
Racing Series Point Fund. A point fund will be paid out in each class at the
Diamond of Dirt Tracks. In 2012 four classes will battle on track for the
Season Championship to conclude on August 25th. “The weekly program
continues to grow here at Lucas Oil Speedway and we are excited to welcome
drivers back again with a Season Championship Point Fund. All eligible
drivers in the top 10 of each of the four weekly racing series classes will
receive point fund pay” commented track General Manager, Dan Robinson.
Robinson went on to say, “With each race being a point championship race,
even on special event nights, the drivers have weekly opportunities to gain
points all season long.” Lucas Oil Speedway offers one of the strongest point fund
and contingency programs in weekly dirt track racing. Drivers in both the
USRA Modifieds and the ULMA Late Models must be registered with the
sanctioning body to be eligible for point fund pay. There are no additional
track imposed fee’s for any driver participating in the Lucas Oil Weekly

contingency awards at the Champions’ Banquet. Rylan Long was the 2011 ULMA
Late Model Champion at Lucas Oil Speedway and shared his thoughts on weekly
