Lucas Oil Speedway private test sessions available prior to, during the 2022 season

  • March 29, 2022

As the new Lucas Oil Speedway season approaches, drivers looking for some extra preparation for opening night, or just do a little extra fine-tuning for the upcoming season, can schedule a private testing session.

Cost for a four-hour session on the dirt oval is $1,500 for four hours. Up to four cars are allowed per session and can divide the rental cost. One or two cars are allowed on the track at the same time with sessions available from 2-6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

General Manager Danny Lorton said that the track will be prepared to closely resemble race-night conditions. The test sessions are being offered both before and during the season.

“It’s been an extremely wet late winter and early spring and the track is really soft, but we’re working on it this week with hopes of having it in race shape for test sessions soon,” Lorton said.

Test sessions are open for any type of car scheduled to race at Lucas Oil Speedway this season, but teams running the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series or Lucas Oil MLRA cannot schedule a private session within seven days prior to a scheduled event.
