By Lyndal Scranton (Wheatland, MO) -- Lucas Oil Speedway's annual postseason awards banquet not only recognizes drivers for an outstanding 2018 season, it offers fans a chance to rub shoulders with their favorites in a great setting.
This year's banquet is set for Saturday, Nov. 3 at The Lodge at Old Kinderhook in Camdenton. If you have yet to reserve a ticket, priced at $40 for the dinner and awards ceremony, the deadline is Friday.
"It's a fun way to celebrate the season and we want to make sure that the general public knows that it's open to everyone," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "Old Kinderhook is a great host and we're looking forward to a fun time as we reflect on the 2018 season."

The evening begins with a social hour at 6 p.m. with invocation, dinner and the awards program to follow starting at 7.
The top 10 drivers in each of the four weekly racing divisions will be honored and receive their prize money for the 2018 season.
Awards also will be presented for Best Appearing Race Car as selected by speedway staff and the Forrest Lucas Lifetime Achievement Award, going to someone for their long-time contributions to the sport.
