After a two week layoff, a pitful of heavy hitters converged on the bullring Saturday Night for the 8th Annual Dickson Classic and the STARS Modlites first appearance of the season. As Mother Nature danced around the mile oval most of the day leaving the speedway dry, the sky would eventually open up just after the Renegades of Dirt Modifieds thrilled the fans with some fantastic racing action on the manicured high banks bringing a halt to the highly anticipated event.

Tyler County Speedway will go hammerdown once again this weekend as the Dickson Classic will headline in the $2,000 to win, $200 to start prestigious event. Rain checks will be honored for the next two weeks. Also on the card will be a full night of regular racing in the Wagon Wheel Super Late Model division, United Rental EDGE Late Models, Herrington-Yoak Modlites, Bridgeport Equipment Hotmods, Custom Engraving 4 cylinders and Mini Wedges. The aforementioned STARS Modlites will return to resume their battle for coveted ‘Grassroot Series’points the following Saturday, July 28, as part of the $1,000 to win ‘Pat Herrick Memorial’.

Not only will the Renegades of Dirt be back to settle the Dickson Classic but all race fans are invited to participate in the ‘Rock the Vote’ Night at the speedway.
