Castrol FloRacing Night in America is ready to make your Tuesday feel less like a Tuesday. The popular mid-week racing series is bringing many of the nation's top dirt late model racers to 411 Motor Speedway for 50 laps of dirt-slinging action. 

Headlining the list of expected entries for the ninth race of the Castrol FloRacing Night in America season is defending NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson. Driving the Kevin Rumley prepared No. 6, Larson will be seeking his second series victory of the year after winning the season opener at Eldora Speedway in April. 

Entering the penultimate event of the season, Brandon Sheppard leads the Castrol FloRacing Night in America championship standings by 103 points over Bobby Pierce. Sheppard recorded one win earlier this season at Spoon River Speedway and has yet to finish outside the top 10 in eight events. Pierce recently won back-to-back events at Fairbury Speedway and Atomic Speedway. 

After winning last Thursday at Tri-County Race Track, Dale McDowell is expected to be in attendance Tuesday night with hopes of scoring two consecutive series victories. 

Jimmy Owens, the defending winner of the event, is also expected in attendance to defend his victory from one year ago. Owens was also the winner of the Scott Sexton Memorial with the Valvoline Iron-Man Late Model Series earlier this year. 

One of the hottest dirt late model drivers in the nation this season, Chris Madden, is expected to enter the event in search of his first career Castrol FloRacing Night in America victory.

Another Tennessee driver looking to defend his home turf will be "The Winfield Warrior" Mike Marlar.
