Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series revamps 2026 Georgia-Florida Speedweeks calendar

The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing annual Georgia-Florida Speedweeks calendar will have a significant revamp in 2026.

The rework will cause the entire Georgia-Florida Speedweeks schedule for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing to shift to a time after the Daytona 500. The traditional 12 nights of racing, with over $650,000 in purse money available, now begins at All-Tech Raceway, then moves to Ocala Speedway, and wraps up at Golden Isles Speedway.

“Teams have been looking for a change to Speedweeks; we listened,” said Rick Schwallie, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing Director. “Racing in mid-January has become too daunting for everyone. The off-season isn’t long enough, and the gap between Speedweeks and the regular season is too much. The weather is also very unpredictable. If teams and fans are going to travel for Speedweeks, we want to provide them with a sure bet and give them an experience they can enjoy.”

The action will get underway on Wednesday, February 18, with an open practice at All-Tech Raceway in Lake City, Fla., followed by three straight nights of racing from Thursday, February 19, through Saturday, February 21. Those events will pay $10,000, $12,000, and $15,000 to win, respectively.

From there, the tour will head to Ocala Speedway in Ocala, Fla - beginning with an open practice on Monday, February 23, followed by five nights of racing. On Tuesday and Wednesday, teams will compete for a chance to win $7,000. Drivers will be gunning for a $10,000 top prize on Thursday, February 26, and a $12,000 top prize on Friday, February 27. As the week comes to a close, $25,000 is on the line.

The 2026 Speedweeks schedule will conclude at Golden Isles Speedway in Brunswick, Ga. An open practice is planned for Tuesday, March 3. Racing action kicks off with a $7,000-to-win program on Wednesday, March 4, followed by a $10,000-to-win event on Thursday, March 5. Teams will vie for $12,000 to win on March 6, with Saturday’s finale featuring $25,000.

Reserved seats and camping tickets are expected to go on sale soon.
