Mark your calendars for July 21, 22 & 23, 2016 as the biggest race in Nebraska racing history just got bigger. The Sixth Annual Silver Dollar Nationals will pay a whopping $40,000 to win. That’s big time money. The event is already a Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Crown Jewel event and with that kind of a payout, plan on it being one for some time.

Once again the race will be co-sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association. The modified portion of the event will again be sanctioned by the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS).

In 2015, the 80 lap Silver Dollar National’s finale saw its first repeat winner as “Dark Sunshine” Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, Tennessee backed up his 2014 win with a trip to victory lane in 2015. On the USMTS side it’s been the Rodney Sanders show the last three years as the Happy, Texas chauffeur has won both USTMS features for three years running.

But in 2016, I-80 Speedway has added a bonus for Super Late Model fans as on Tuesday, May 24, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will be also be making an appearance at the wide 4/10ths mile oval. That will give all the drivers plenty of laps to get their cars just right for the Silver Dollar Nationals.

As has always been the case at the Silver Dollar Nationals, Thursday, July 21 will be a complete program of racing featuring the Malvernbank.com SLMR Series, the Nebraska 360 Sprints and B Mods with an open practice for Lucas Oil and USMTS cars. Tickets for the Silver Dollar Nationals are available by calling (402)-342-3453 Monday thru Friday from 8:30 am until 2 pm.

I-80 Speedway is located one block north of Interstate 80 Exit 420, halfway between Omaha and Lincoln. The Physical Address is 13909 – 238th Street, Greenwood, NE.
