TX, on May 7 before tackling the high-banked, ¼-mile I-30 Speedway red clay oval
the following night.
After
a stop at the “Diamond of Dirt Tracks”, Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO, on
June 19, next up is the Sixth Annual Lucas Oil Sprint Bandits Tour ‘N Topless
Midwest Swing.
The
sixth annual August slate of events opens up on Sunday night, August 15, at
Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, IA, where the series initial attempt was rained
out last year.

there, it’s on to Nebraska Raceway Park’s I-80 Speedway on Monday night, before
taking to Missouri’s ½-mile Sedalia State Fair Speedway on Tuesday night.
After
an off night, the series shifts to the cozy confines of Sapulpa, Oklahoma’s
Creek County Speedway on Thursday night, August 19, before finishing out the
week with the annual $10,000 to win Ron Shuman Classic at Kansas City’s Lakeside
Speedway on August 20-21.
This
year’s standard Lucas Oil Sprint Bandits TNT events will offer up a $3,000
winner’s share with $300 to start along with $300 tow money to the top ten in
series points.A points fund totaling
$1,000 per event will be distributed among the series top teams at the end of
the season.
Several
other events are under discussion and will be added to the schedule as details
are finalized.
