Built for Dirt Late Model Racing
Dirt late model racing puts a suit through more abrasion and dust exposure than almost any other oval-track discipline. Our dirt late model suits are spec'd around four priorities:
- SFI 3.2A/5 multi-layer Nomex® baseline — Standard floor for Lucas Oil, World of Outlaws Late Models, and most regional touring.
- Aggressive dust seal at collar and cuffs — Higher collar, elastic wrist and ankle cuffs, storm flap over zipper — seals out clay and dust from 30-lap features.
- Reinforced shoulder, knee, and seat abrasion panels — Cordura or Kevlar reinforcement at the contact zones for slides and tire-barrier impacts.
- Darker exterior color options — Black, deep navy, and dark red mask dirt accumulation between heat races. Your team graphics still pop.
These features sit on the same base pattern as our other custom race suits with dirt-specific abrasion panels added where the slide happens.
Sanctioning Body Compliance
Dirt late model sanctioning bodies share a common SFI 3.2A/5 floor with discipline-specific extras:
- Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series: SFI 3.2A/5 minimum. Fire-resistant underwear strongly recommended.
- World of Outlaws Late Models: SFI 3.2A/5 minimum across the touring series.
- DIRTcar / Northeast Late Models: SFI 3.2A/5 minimum. Check track-specific bulletins for higher requirements at premier events.
- Weekly track late model classes: Most weekly tracks specify SFI 3.2A/5; some accept SFI 3.2A/1 for hobby-stock variants.
- IMCA-style modified late model: SFI 3.2A/5 minimum.
Dirt late model is one of the few classes where over-spec'd protection (3.2A/10) makes sense for upper-tier touring drivers — methanol fuel loads + closed-cockpit heat make extra TPP worth the weight.
