First Round Of 2020 Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series Events Revealed

TULSA, Okla. (December 12, 2019) With a few old favorites, and several new venues lining the 2020 lineup, the first round of a scheduled 50 race slate has been released for 29th season of the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network.

“We’re looking forward to 2020. We have a lot of new tracks, and it’s great that we’ve been able to bring back some that we haven’t been too in a long time,” commented National Scheduling Coordinator, Terry Mattox. “Our goal is to get between 50-55 shows for these teams every year. That seems to be the magic number for this series, and also get some our swings where they have more dates. I feel like we got that done and with the TBA’s that we have, we should be right where we need to be. Just ironing out a few final details.”
