July 11’s Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series visit to 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, will be run as the Slocum 50, a race rained out in April on the national tour’s sister Lucas Oil Midwest LateModel Racing Association tour.
The event, honoring late driver Brent Slocum, has a new purse of $15,555-to-win (up from the $10,555 original winning purse) at the 3/8-mile oval that’s scheduled to host the Lucas Oil Series for the third consecutive year and sixth time overall.
Previous Slocum 50 presented by Roederer’s Pit Stop winners include Shannon Babb, Dennis Erb Jr., Bobby Pierce, Chris Simpson and Ryan Unzicker. Visit 34raceway.com for more track info.
