Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Visits La Salle Speedway Next Tuesday Night

LA SALLE, IL (September 21, 2011) - The Road to Knoxville for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series gets an early start with a special Tuesday Night, September 27th appearance at La Salle Speedway in La Salle, IL.

The event which was originally scheduled for May, but was postponed due to rain and cold temperatures will have the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series roll into La Salle on their way to the Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals at the legendary Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, IA on September 29th, 30th and October 1st.

There will be a complete show at La Salle Speedway next Tuesday Night with Red Buck Cigar Time Trials, Heat Races, B-Mains and the $10,000 to win main event

A heated points battle is taking place on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series tour in 2011 with two-time series champion, Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN and Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN separated by a mere 30-points heading into this weekend's Jackson 100 at Brownstown (IN) Speedway.

The dogfight between the two is likely to continue to La Salle on Tuesday Night as those two drivers along with the rest of the stars of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series visit La Salle for the ninth time in series history. Bloomquist leads the way with two victories at La Salle with Jimmy Mars of Menomonie, WI, Brian Birkhofer of Muscatine, IA, Justin Rattliff of Campbellsville, KY, Tim McCreadie of Watertown, NY along with Owens having captured series victories at the Izzo Family-promoted facility.
