WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 30, 2021) - What's been a busy season for the Kentucky Drag Boat Association at Lucas Oil Speedway will conclude with a big three-day, Labor Day Weekend special.

It's the 11th annual Diamond Drag Boat Nationals on Lake Lucas, Friday through Sunday with action set in both Sportsman and Pro divisions.

A purse of $37,500 will be up for grabs and the television cameras will be rolling to catch the action for future airing on MAVTV Motorsports Network, CBS Sports and the CBS Sports Network.
