I hardly ever miss a Sprint car race at Kokomo ....This Friday the Lucas Oil Late Models will run at Kokomo ...What do you all think it will be like ??..They do look kinda good on Mav TV...But also some of them look like follow the leader ...Just wonder what they will be like on a 1/4 mile track ...and it costs $30 grandstand & $40 pit gate ...Thanks for your input ......nothing can beat Non Wing Sprints ...

I'd be going if Kokomo was 2 hrs from home instead of 3.

I grew up on Late Models, so definitely have my own bias, but they can put on a great show. Lucas format isn't super fan friendly, but on a multi-groove bull ring definitely should be entertaining.

I've had this race circled all year. It will be a good show. Just look at the WOO LMS at Fairbury, IL for the Prairie Dirt Classic in late July. I've been looking forward to this show all year and with American Ethanol Modified Tour there as well. We might bring one of our Mods with us not sure yet though. With Late Models you don't need a cushion for it to be a good race. If it slicks up just a bit I believe it will be a darn good show. Hope this is a yearly thing for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series going to Kokomo the night before the Jackson 100 at Brownstown.

2024 Season: Race 1 - April 20th Brownstown (Crate LM). Unlike many I don't discriminate on what racing I choose to watch.

Lucas Oil Late Models should be ideal for Kokomo. A 1/4 mile bullring is perfect for these guys. I expect good side by side racing as this is about the size of East Bay where they put on a hell of a show in February. The LOLM management knows how to run a quick and efficient program and we look forward to seeing them run at Kokomo on Friday!!! See you there!!!
