Three-Race Weekend on Deck for CCSDS Super Late Models
By Ben Shelton (Conway, AR) -- After a two-week break, the stars and cars of the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series presented by Lucas Oil are gearing up for a busy first weekend of October.
Weekend action includes a Thursday, October 1 make-up feature at Batesville Motor Speedway. The feature grid was set back in July and has been twice delayed by Mother Nature. From there, the CCSDS rolls south to the Kilgore-family promoted Greenville Speedway, where the tour will sanction the 14th annual Gumbo Nationals on Friday and Saturday.
