BRISTOL, Tenn. — The Valvoline Iron-Man Late Model Southern Series will unite with the XR Super Series to co-sanction the super late model portion of the Karl Kustoms Bristol Dirt Nationals at Bristol Motor Speedway.
“We’re excited to be asked to be part of this historical event,” said CT Promotions President Chris Tilley. “It will be the largest paying events we have ever helped promote. We want to thank XR for asking us to co-sanction with his XR Super Series for these four events. We’re hoping this will be the start of something great between our two tours.”
The events are scheduled for March 25-26 and April 1-2. The events will each pay $50,000-to-win and $2,500-to-start the 24-car fields. Practices will take place on March 24 and March 31.
Driver bonuses put up by the XR Super Series will be for the drivers competing at the Karl Kustoms Bristol Dirt Nationals. A total of $300,000 in points money for the four races will be paid out by XR, with $100,000 going to the points champion on top of the driver payouts.
“Adding the Valvoline Iron-Man Late Model Southern Series to the Bristol Super Late Model docket makes this event even bigger,” said XR Super Series Director & XR Chief Operating Officer Dan Robinson. “As we launch the inaugural XR Super Series in Thunder Valley, this adds another element of great competition to the event. We’re excited, and the racers and fans should be, too.”
