Today’s Dirt Track Racing Schedule: Circle City, Bloomington and IMCA Events

NASCAR Cup Series driver Carson Hocevar is set to compete in the FloRacing Night in America events, expanding his racing schedule beyond the national stock car circuit into the competitive realm of dirt late model racing.

Hocevar, who drives the No. 77 Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports, has a documented history of competing in Super Late Model and dirt racing alongside his NASCAR commitments. His participation in the FloRacing Night in America series aligns with his ongoing efforts to maintain versatility across different racing disciplines.

FloRacing Night in America Series

The 2026 FloRacing Night in America schedule features a series of high-stakes events. According to the series announcement, the 2026 season includes 11 events held across 10 facilities, with over $800,000 in total purse money on the line.

The series focuses on Super Late Models and includes a sequence of races in early May 2026 at several Midwestern tracks. Verified dates for upcoming events include:

• Tuesday, May 5, 2026: LaSalle Speedway

Each of these specific events offers a $20,000-to-win prize, highlighting the competitive nature of the series and its appeal to top-tier drivers from various racing backgrounds.

Hocevar’s Racing Versatility

Hocevar’s transition between the NASCAR Cup Series and dirt racing is a strategic part of his development. He has previously expressed a preference for the challenges of Super Late Model racing, which requires a different driving style and technical approach than the heavy stock cars used in the Cup Series.

In addition to the FloRacing events, Hocevar has been active in other short-track competitions during the 2026 season. He previously competed in the ASA Clyde Hart Memorial at New Smyrna Speedway, further demonstrating his commitment to maintaining a presence in the late model scene while pursuing a full-time career in NASCAR.

His 2026 NASCAR Cup Series campaign with Spire Motorsports continues throughout the summer and autumn, with scheduled appearances at major venues including Chicago on July 7, Indianapolis on July 21, and Talladega on October 6.
