Series Promoter, Jason Shultz is currently working with track promoters and sponsor partners to make the inaugural season a success.

“The Dirt Kings Late Model Tour is eager to carry on a tradition of action packed racing established over 10 years ago by Bill Behling and the Wisconsin Dirt Late Model Association (WDLMA),” Shultz said.

The Dirt Kings Late Model Tour reached an agreement with the WDLMA Board of Directors to dissolve WDLMA and Lucky 7 Series at the conclusion of 2016. The transition will allow the Dirt Kings Tour to grow and thrive for years to come.

Dirt Kings Tour events will be run exclusively on Hoosier Racing Tires and feature cars with body components from Five Star Race Car Bodies.
