Lincoln Speedway This Weekend – October 16-18
Champions, Campers, and the Best of the Midwest Set to
Converge for Season Finale
[October 14, 2025]
LINCOLN, IL – The wait is over — it’s officially DIRTcar Fall
Nationals week at Lincoln Speedway, where well over 100 of the best

Since the event’s debut at Lincoln in 2020, the Fall Nationals has
grown into one of DIRTcar’s marquee weekends, with car counts,
campers, and crowds increasing every year. This year’s edition is

racing and a final showdown for drivers chasing DIRTcar National
Championship points.
