(September
29, 2021) The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series is set
to return to Smoky Mountain Speedway on Friday, October 8. The
$20,000 to win race is expected to draw many of the nation’s

The October 8 race is the make-up race for the July 10 race that

hand as their 2021 season winds down. Tim McCreadie is the current
series points leader. Hudson O’Neal will look to cut into
that lead as well as Jimmy Owens, who has moved into third in
the point standings. Jonathan Davenport, Kyle Bronson, Mike Marlar,
Josh Richards, Shane Clanton, Ricky Thorton Jr., Tyler Erb, and
Earl Pearson Jr. are other series regulars looking to cash in
at Smoky Mountain Speedway.
Other scheduled drivers include Brandon Overton, Scott Bloomquist,
Chris Ferguson, Spencer Hughes, Stormy Scott, Donald McIntosh,
and many more.
