TULSA, Okla. (December 7, 2010) -- With the 2010 season concluded just over a week ago and the 19th Annual ASCS Awards Banquet still on tap for this coming weekend, the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by K&N Filters National series has already unveiled a preliminary version of the 2011 schedule.

After completing 35 nights of National competition in 2010, the preliminary version of the 20th year of Lucas Oil ASCS National competition currently includes 40 nights of competition at 16 different tracks throughout 13 different states, including the first National events in the State of California. Several additional dates are under discussion as well and will be announced as details are finalized.

With a $250,000 points fund, including $60,000 earmarked for the series champion, once again in effect, the series embarks upon new territory when the season opener at the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, CA, on Wednesday night, February 9.

Two nights later, the series moves on to Kings Speedway in Hanford, CA, with another potential date or two before taking to Tucson's USA Raceway the following weekend, February 18-19, for the annual Copper on Dirt event. USA Raceway will also host the 2011 Lucas Oil ASCS season finale with the 44th Annual Western World Championships November 17-19.

After opening the 2011 season on the Left Coast, action resumes on March 25-26 with the 38th Annual Devil's Bowl Spring Nationals in Mesquite, TX. The storied half-mile clay oval will also host the Lucas Oil ASCS National series with the annual Winter Nationals in October.

The month of April brings a two-night stand at Little Rock's I-30 Speedway on April 15-16, the first of several events set for the high-banked, 0x00bc-mile with other cards on June 4 and August 27 setting the stage for the 24th Annual Short Track Nationals on October 27-29.

The series returns to Tri-City Speedway in Pontoon Beach, IL, on Friday night, May 6, before slipping down the Mississippi to Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis the following night. The month of May wraps up with the Third Annual Steve King Memorial at the Jetmore (KS) Motorplex on May 28-29.

After kicking off June at I-30, Nebraska's Eagle Nationals is up next on June 10-11 before a pair of Missouri stops two weekends later at La Monte's LA Raceway and Eldon's Lake Ozark Speedway, the annual Hockett/McMillin Memorial event.

After finishing up the North by Northwest Tour, its back to the nation's heartland for the 21st Annual ASCS Knoxville Nationals in August.

September features the series annual stop at "The Diamond of Dirt Tracks", Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO.

After late season classics at the Devil's Bowl Winter Nationals and I-30 Speedway's Short Track Nationals, the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by K&N Filters National series will wrap up the 2011 campaign with a two-night stand at Las Cruces' Southern New Mexico Speedway and then USA Raceway's Western World Championships.
