by Ben Shelton
Columbus, Mississippi (08/10/11) – The P.R.O. Dirt Car Series Super Late Model tour will make history on several fronts this Saturday night as it goes head-to-head with the O'Reilly SUPR Super Late Model tour.

Not only will this Saturday's event mark the first time that the PRO Dirt Car Series and O'Reilly SUPR tours have gone head-to-head in a challenge event, but it will also mark a couple of other firsts. This Saturday's $4,000-to-win/$400-to-start, 50 lap event will mark the richest one day purse in the history of the PRO Dirt Car Series and will also mark the richest one day show in the history of the facility.

Brian Rickman, Tony Shelton, Rick Rickman, Johnny Stokes, Dean Carpenter, Jason Milam, and David Breazeale are in pursuit of the top spot in the standings.

The O'Reilly SUPR Super Late Model tour will be led into battle by current point's and rookie of the year leader Morgan Bagley. Drivers from the tour expected to join Bagley in action include Timothy Culp, Allen Tippen, Jeff Chandler, BJ Robinson, Ray Moore, and more.

The touring drivers from each series will face a formidable challenge from the local contingent, which includes Mike Palasini Jr, Ross Camponovo, Greg Fore, Doug Showah, Dewayne Estes, Doug Showah Jr., Clay Fisher and more!
