The nation's top Super Late Model drivers will compete for a $20,000 winner's purse, with the Taco Bell DIRTcar Modified feature offering $2,000 to win.
Competitors expected include Bobby Pierce, Brandon Sheppard, Ricky Thornton Jr., Hudson O'Neal, Nick Hoffman, Brian Shirley, Dennis Erb Jr., Ryan Gustin, Devin Moran, Jason Feger, Shannon Babb and Carson Hocevar.
Lincoln Speedway has become a key stop on the FloRacing Night In America schedule. Dennis Erb Jr. (2022), Hudson O’Neal (2023), Bobby Pierce (2024) and Devin Moran (2025) have claimed FloRacing night wins at Lincoln. Previous Modified event winners include Nick Hoffman (2022), Tyler Nicely (2023) and Ray Bollinger (2024). Drake Troutman captured last year's Modified victory.
Tuesday's event is the rain date from the May 7 program, which halted by bad weather before the completion of the heat races.
Fans and competitors who attended the original event are reminded to bring their wristbands, as they will be honored for admission to this event. Tickets and pit passes can be purchased online or at the ticket windows on race day.
For the July 21 event, pit gates open at 2 p.m., grandstands at 4, hot laps begin at 6 and racing starts at 7. Admission is $40 for adults, $10 for children 11 and under, and $45 for an all-access pit pass.
Camping is available for the FloRacing Night In America event, with electric hookup sites available for $40 per night and primitive camping for $20 per night. Fans can reserve a campsite by calling 217-764-3200. Special Lincoln Speedway rates are available at the Hampton by Hilton and Comfort Inn & Suites in Lincoln by mentioning the Lincoln Speedway discount when booking.
With two programs in five days, Lincoln Speedway is set to offer something for every race fan.
