Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series is a dirt late model touring series owned and operated by Lucas Oil. The series competes on dirt ovals across the United States, primarily throughout the east coast and the midwest. The cars feature a purpose-built chassis design specifically for dirt late model racing. With many chassis builders within the sport, chassis design and components are always on the cutting edge of innovation and technology. The cars are powered by aluminum-head V8 engines (usually ranging between 400c.i. and 430c.i.) that produce over 800 horsepower.
