This crown jewel event gets underway on Thursday night, July 18th with an open practice for both the Super Late Models and USMTS Modifieds.

Lucas Oil MLRA reigning champion and Omaha, Nebraska resident John Anderson always gets a little more fired up for the Silver Dollar Nationals. "It's really exciting for the fans and racers in this area to get a big race so close to home," commented Anderson. "I've turned into a little bit of a promoter to try a get a few more people out to the race. I want this thing to grow and be successful for years to come."

Anderson also has a good track record at I-80 Speedway. "I really enjoy racing there and this event brings in so many talented teams you really have to be on top of your game to have a shot. We've always had good equipment and stayed up with the race track. This weekend I'll have a little extra help from Bryan Larimore. We're getting faster overall and have found some things recently which should give us a little more speed this weekend."

LOLMDS marketing partner Scott Crawford of Crawford Supply/Traeger Grills has posted a special $1,000 cash bonus to the driver that earns the most series points at the Diamond Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway on July 13th and the Silver Dollar Nationals at I-80 Speedway on July 20th.
