DIRTcar Summer Nationals Return to Lincoln Speedway This Thursday for Rain-Delayed Stop

by Mike

DIRTcar Summer Nationals Return to Lincoln Speedway This Thursday for Rain-Delayed Hell Tour StopLINCOLN, Ill. – After Mother Nature reshuffled much of the 2026 DIRTcar Summer Nationals schedule, one of the most anticipated stops of the season is finally set to take place as the Hell Tour rolls into Lincoln Speedway this Thursday, July 2. The event serves as the makeup date for the rain-postponed June 21 program and will feature the DIRTcar Summer Nationals Late Models, DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals, and Lincoln Speedway’s exciting Crown Vic division.

Originally slated as part of Father’s Day weekend, the Lincoln Speedway event became one of many casualties of a relentless stretch of rain and severe weather that has plagued the 40th anniversary edition of the Hell Tour. In fact, the series managed to complete just one event during the most recent week of competition as repeated storms forced cancellations across the Midwest, resulting in a reshuffled schedule that now brings one of the nation’s premier dirt late model tours back to central Illinois on Thursday night.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. – Sports car racing is having a moment of late; it’s being spotlighted on screens of all sizes across the country and across the world. There’s a litany of streaming series, docuseries and a couple sports car-specific silver screen films that have premiered within the past few years. That includes a few award winners in the IMSA space.

However, it’s F1® The Movie that – even if only briefly – showcases IMSA in a prominent guest-starring role to open proceedings to the two-and-a-half-hour summer 2025 blockbuster.

Several media members were among those granted a special opportunity to see a Porsche-hosted advance screening of the film prior to the Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen weekend at The Glen Theatre in downtown Watkins Glen.
