LRD Products Added to Growing List of Partners for the MARS Modified Championship Tour Season

FAIRBURY, IL (March 5, 2026) – As the fourth season for the MARS Modified Championship Powered by Summit Racing Equipment is set to kick off in approximately a month, the tour is excited to announce the addition of LRD Products to the growing list of partners for the tour.

LRD Products is located in Woodstock, Illinois and owned by DIRTcar UMP Modified racer Mike Learman. Looking for T-bars, radiator mounts, spoilers, body work, suspension components, or anything else that can be custom fabricated for your Dirt Late Model or Modified? LRD Products has got you covered.

You can sporadically catch Learman behind the wheel throughout the Midwest, but much of his time is now spent building his Royal Race Cars that have boosted in popularity over the past several years. Drivers such as Ricky Thornton Jr, Matthew Baker, Shane O’Connor, Jeff Koz, Ryan Sutter, and Dylan Woodling have found victory lane for Team Royal over the past two seasons. The most successful of the crop of drivers to-date is the Royal Race Cars house car driver, Michael Ledford. The Pontiac, Illinois driver picked up 3 MARS Modified Championship Powered by Summit Racing Equipment victories in 2025 and finished runner-up in the championship chase. Ledford plans to chase the MARS Modified Tour once again in 2026 looking for his first career MARS title.

While the MARS Late Model Championship Powered by FK Rod Ends point leader will continue to display the red spoiler nightly courtesy of Midwest Sheet Metal, LRD Products will now furnish the red spoiler for the current MARS Modified Championship Powered by Summit Racing Equipment point leader throughout the 2026 season.

“Mike and Lauren Learman have been huge supporters of what we are doing with the MARS Modified tour, since its birth in 2023, by competing in majority of the events as a car owner or with Mike behind the wheel” stated series director Jonathan Clayton. “We are excited to bring them on as partners of the series as it continues to show the strength in what we are doing for the Modifieds by the amount of support from the people within the industry.”

The 2026 MARS Modified Championship Powered by Summit Racing Equipment season kicks off with the Illini 100 weekend at Farmer City Raceway! An open practice is scheduled for Thursday, April 9, with complete shows on Friday & Saturday, April 10 & 11, paying $2,000-to-win and $250-to-start nightly.
