Schedules Released For 2017 DIRTCar Summer Nationals, Summit Modified Nationals

Image
The recently announced DIRTcar Summer Nationals and Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals 2017 schedules mirror each other for all but one race during their 32 consecutive days on the road.

The two touring series will travel across eight states—including Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Michigan, and Ohio—in four-and-a-half weeks, with back-to-back racing nearly every night. The Late Model Series will take a break from racing only three times in 32 days, and the Modifieds will take four.

The 2017 DIRTcar Summer Nationals and the Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals will kick off at Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown, Illinois, on June 14.

In fact, the 2017 DIRTcar Summer Nationals season marks its 30th consecutive year in the running. The schedule boasts 29 races, and is broken down into four weeks: Tri State Week, Independence Week, Midwest Week and Champions Week. Each week a new champion will be named based on a weekly points system. At the conclusion of the tour, one overall Summer Nationals Champion will be crowned based on the overall points accumulated. The Summer Nationals Championship will take place at Oakshade Raceway in Wauseon, Ohio, on July 14-15.

Additionally, the DIRTcar Summer Nationals will cross paths with The World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series in the 2017 season. The series collide at Terre Haute Action Track on June 30, and at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 on July 1.

The Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals will have 28 races in 32 consecutive days before having two weeks to prepare for the championship, which will take place at Fairbury American Legion Speedway with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series on July 28-29.

The Modified Nationals Champion is calculated by the top eight finishes for each driver. The driver who finishes the highest within those eight races gets crowned Champion
