This past Friday night, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series celebrated a successful 2021 season, honoring drivers, teams, crew, series staff, marketing partners, promotors, specials guests, and more, at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN and on a live stream on MAVTV Plus and social media.
Tim McCreadie, 2021 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion and Ricky Thornton Jr, Eibach Springs Rookie of the Year rightfully received the most acknowledgement during the championship awards banquet, but they were not the only ones receiving recognition. On behalf of everyone at the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, Lucas Oil Products, and MAVTV Plus, we would like to thank everyone that contributed to a successful season and joined in the celebration either in person or by tuning in to watch. We look forward to an even more monumental season in 2022.
