(Middlebourne, WV) As is tradition and as the summer starts to wind down in the great state of West Virginia it can only mean one thing that the Mountain State is about to welcome many race fans back home to the tradition laden weekend known as the Hillbilly Hundred at America’s Baddest Bullring this Labor Day Weekend, Sept. 2-4th. It’ll be almost heaven as the Tyler County Speedway will roll out some West Virginia hospitality for the states biggest Motorsports event at one of the raciest joints in all of motorsports.
Make plans to attend the oldest dirt late model major event as Hall of Fame Promoter Carl Short and the Hometown Racing Association, promoters of the Tyler County Speedway, in conjunction with the Lucas Oil Dirt Car Series and Arizona Sport Shirts are excited to present the ‘Granddaddy’ of all Dirt Late Model major events, the 54th Hillbilly Hundred this Labor Day Weekend.
The stars of the nationally known and premier traveling circuit the Lucas Oil Dirt Car Racing Series will return to the Tyler County Speedway with $30,000 dollars up for grabs and add name to the history books of the oldest running late model major event in motorsports.
