This coming Saturday, May 5th the DIRTcar Colorado Limited Late Models will kick off their 2012 season at I-76 Speedway in Ft. Morgan, Colorado. This will be the first of 12 DIRTcar Colorado Limited Late Model races that will be run at I-76 Speedway and Phillips County Raceway. This year for the first time ever the limited late model class will be santcioned by DIRTcar so all of the races will count towards DIRTcar Northwest Region Points and DIRTcar National Points.

We are expecting between 15 to 20 limited late models to show up for the first race of the season and we hope to build on that threwout the year. Some of the drivers that have said that they will be at the first race are Scott Lewis (2011 CLMA DIRTcar Series Champion), Jeff Meeker (2010-2011 DIRTcar Colorado Limited Late Model Champion), Dave Garmann (2004 & 2009 CLMA DIRTcar Series Champion), along with past DIRTcar Colorado Limted Late Model winners Jared Maas, Dylan Schmer, Bubba Alverado, Will Brack, and Tim Kiefer. Brad Shelton will also be making his first career start in a limited late model after being one of the drivers to beat in the modified class at I-76 Speedway for past several years.

This class is getting bigger and better every year and we hope to see more cars and fans then ever next Saturday at I-76 Speedway.
