Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series to Sanction the 31st Annual Dirt Track World Championship Hosted by K-C Raceway in Ohio for 2011

Waycross, GA (January 22, 2011) - The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and famed promoter Carl Short are pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached to sanction the 31st Annual Dirt Track World Championship for the next three years, making the crown jewel event the Lucas Oil Series grand finale. Not only will the $50,000 to win DTWC be sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series in 2011, but also the event will move to a familiar venue, back to the state of Ohio to K-C Raceway in Chillicothe. The DTWC sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will take place on October 13th, 14th, 15th of 2011 and be back at the racetrack that hosted the event in the past with great success. Earl Pearson Jr. is the defending champion of the DTWC, winning the event at West Virginia Motor Speedway in Mineral Wells, West Virginia in 2010.
With the Carl Short owned Hillbilly 100 already sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, it was a natural fit for Carl to sanction the DTWC with the LOLMDS. "After weighing all the factors I felt the time was right to sanction the DTWC with Lucas Oil. With the tremendous success we've had the past several years with sanctioning the Hillbilly 100 with Lucas Oil, and how well they run the show, the support and marketing benefits within their organization, the professional staff, and everything they can bring to an event, it just makes good business sense to partner with a great company like Lucas Oil", stated Carl Short.
Carl Short has developed a great relationship with Jeff and Vickie Schrader, owners of KC Raceway and is very impressed on how they have taken over that facility and run it since purchasing the track in 2009. K-C Raceway is a fast 3/8-mile dirt track located just east of Cincinnati, Ohio and runs both super late model and winged sprint cars throughout the year.

"We have a great relationship with Carl and the Hillbilly 100 and now were excited to be a part of such a great event as the DTWC. To have his $50,000 to win DTWC and all the history of the event on our schedule gives our series a huge platform to end the season on and crown our champion.
