BATAVIA, Ohio (June 4, 2025) – The thrilling battle for the Big River Steel Chase for the Championship - Presented by ARP is heating up. The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing National Champion will earn an industry record $250,000 from a total points fund that was increased in 2025 to over $1.3 million.

The Big River Steel “Big Four” in 2025 will be determined after the Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals.
