The newest schedule has arrived for the most action-packed slate in summer racing over the year.

The 2021 Hell Tour slate has been announced.

Starting on Tuesday, June 15 at Brownstown Speedway, both the late models and modified tours will kick off 30-race, eight week schedules that will conclude on Saturday, August 21 at Merritt Speedway in Lake City, Michigan.

The tours will split up in the middle of the season to allow drivers to compete in respective late model and modified crown jewel events.

The new slate also features a week dedicated to make-up races for cancellations early in the schedule and a handful of races that haven’t been announced yet.

On top of it all the minimum for a feature purse will go up in 2021 from $1,000-to-win to $1,500-to-win, which is good news for everybody.
