The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and World of Outlaws Real American Beer Late Model Series are on hiatus this Easter weekend, and because of that, many nationally touring drivers are racing regionally across the country.

It’s also the debut weekend of Hoosier Racing Tire’s revised NLMT right-rear tire. The Comp Cams Super Dirt Series won’t incorporate the revised right-rear tire until May 9 at Batesville Motor Speedway in Locust Grove, Ark. Below are regional events Thursday through Saturday where you might find the sport’s star power.
