BATAVIA, Ohio – The East Bay Raceway Park Winternationals have been a staple on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series schedule since the tour’s inception in 2005.
This year, that long standing tradition is slated to come to an end.
The Mosaic Co., a Fortune 500 company that mines potash and phosphate that it processes into crop nutrients, is poised to complete its purchase of the property following this season.
The 48th Annual Wieland Winternationals presented by Lucas Oil kicks off with an open practice on Sunday, Feb. 4. The pit gates will open at 2 p.m. ET, with practice slated from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The general admission area will be open free of charge.
A full program is scheduled for each of the six nights, which includes Dirt Draft Hot Laps, Allstar Performance Time Trials, Heat Races, B-Mains, and a Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series main event.
Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 6-7, teams will compete for a $5,000 top prize. Wednesday, Feb. 8 will see drivers gunning for $7,000 in prize money. On Thursday, Feb. 9, the winner’s prize increases to $10,000 before the stakes get even higher on Friday, Feb. 10, with teams competing for a $12,000 paycheck.
The week will end on Saturday, Feb. 11, with a finale feature awarding a $15,000 top prize.
Each day, the pit gate will open at 2 p.m., followed by general admission gates at 5 p.m. The on-track action is scheduled to begin with hot laps at 5:30 p.m.
