Lucas Oil Speedway, Dallas County Speedway USRA B-Mod points champs to earn $1,000
Drivers competing in the USRA B-Mod division at the Lucas Oil Speedway and Dallas County Speedway can take home some extra points money during the 2023 season.
Both tracks, in conjunction with the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series, will pay their B-Mod track champions $1,000. Second- through tenth-place in points (as long the driver competes in a minimum of 80% of scheduled points events at each track) also will earn extra money.
Those who fall under 80% will receive the normal USRA B-Mod points payout, which alone rivals points funds awarded by any other grassroots sanctioning body.
"We're pleased to make it even more attractive to race on a regular basis in our Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod division, in a partnership with Dallas County Speedway and the USRA," said Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton.
Lorton noted that the second-place driver in points will earn what was previous the championship total with additional money also dispersed throughout the remainder of the top 10. Those figures are: 2nd $600; 3rd $425; 4th $300; 5th $250; 6th $200; 7th $175; 8th $150; 9th $125; and 10th $125.
"I think it’s gonna be a good deal for the drivers," Dallas County Speedway promoter Scotty Allen said. "It's $2,000 if you can win both the Lucas and Dallas County points and it's only 20 miles apart. Plus, not only does the track champ get more, the whole top 10 gets more."
The USRA national points fund will pay no less than $6,000 to the USRA B-Mod National Champion.
Both Lucas Oil Speedway and Dallas County also will continue paying a $250 bonus to any USRA B-Mod or Medieval USRA Stock Cars driver who can win both features on the same weekend at the tracks, Friday at Dallas County and Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway.
"The feature bonus for Stock Cars has proven to be popular, with both of us putting up an extra $125 for any driver sweeping the weekend features, and we're happy to be doing that in the B-Mod class as well," Lorton said.
Kris Jackson is the defending track champion at the Lucas Oil Speedway and Colson Kirk collected the USRA B-Mod track championship at the Dallas County Speedway in 2022.
