Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series is a dirt late model touring series owned and operated by Lucas Oil. The series competes on dirt ovals across the United States, primarily throughout the east coast and the midwest. The cars feature a purpose-built chassis design specifically for dirt late model racing. With many chassis builders within the sport, chassis design and components are always on the cutting edge of innovation and technology. The cars are powered by aluminum-head V8 engines (usually ranging between 400c.i. and 430c.i.) that produce over 800 horsepower.

Among the marquee races on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series schedule include Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park, Show-Me 100 at Lucas Oil Speedway, Silver Dollar Nationals at Huset’s Speedway, Topless 100 at Batesville Motor Speedway, Knoxville Late Model Nationals at Knoxville Raceway, the Pittsburgher 100 at Pittsburgh's PA Motor Speedway, and the Dirt Track World Championship at Eldora Eldora Speedway.
