Lake Cumberland Speedway also added to both schedules on July 13<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thirty-five years of Hell Tour<\/em> tradition has given the Dirt Late Model and Modified worlds some of the best short-track racing available anywhere in the United States. 2021 marks the DIRTcar Summer Nationals\u2019 next evolution of that same great competition in an all-new championship format and an upgrade in prize money.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, Late Model championship chasers competed in every race on the schedule for the $25,000 title. This year, each Late Model driver\u2019s best 31 finishes over the 36 scheduled races will be counted toward the overall points championship. For their efforts, a new points fund system has been implemented that could award the champion a potential $36,000.<\/p>\n

For each race completed above 25, an additional $1,000 will be added to the champion\u2019s check, making the potential for $36,000 to be awarded to the victor. Each of the other spots inside the top-10 will follow suit, with different amounts being added to each position\u2019s check as more races past 25 are completed. At its maximum, the runner-up in final points could take home over $14,000 with over $10,000 going to third.<\/p>\n

A grand total of 36 Late Model and 35 Summit Racing Equipment<\/a> Modified Nationals shows will make up the 2021 schedule, each shown live on DIRTVision<\/a> presented by Drydene<\/a>, spanning seven competitive weeks (eight with the possible make-up week, Aug. 11-15) at 36 different tracks in nine states from June 15 to Aug. 21. One final track has joined the schedule on both sides to complete a list of four brand-new tracks to the tours this year.<\/p>\n

Lake Cumberland Speedway<\/a> in Burnside, KY, will kick off Week #5 and host both tours for the first time in track history on Tuesday, July 13. The 3\/8-mile red clay oval precedes another track debut at the newly constructed Circle City Raceway<\/a> in Indianapolis, IN.<\/p>\n

Seven weekly points fund checks will also be awarded this year \u2013\u00a0$2,000 going to the points champion of each week, tallied from the first race of the week to the final.<\/p>\n

The Summit Modifieds will stick to their traditional championship format in 2021, counting each driver\u2019s best 10 races of the 35 scheduled. A $5,000 check will again be awarded to the points champion at season\u2019s end, crowned for the first time ever in the state of Michigan at Merritt Speedway<\/a> on Aug. 21.<\/p>\n

The championship chase begins with the first race at Brownstown Speedway in Indiana on June 15. Catch all 36 races at the track or live from your home with a Platinum or monthly FAST PASS subscription to DIRTVision presented by Drydene<\/a>.<\/p>\n
