IMCA Late Models return to the 3/8-mile dirt oval at West Burlington, where the division had last run weekly in 2012. “We wanted to bring Late Models back.

COLUMBUS, Neb. – Another sanctioned division has joined weekly race programs at one of the longest IMCA tenured tracks in Nebraska. U.S. 30 Speedway presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts adds the IMCA Late Model division to its regular Thursday shows.
