3 min readULTIMATE Mid Ohio Valley Super Late Models will once again sanction the Buckeye Late Model Dirt Weeks which will be expanding to 7 potential events and moving into Kentucky to start the 5th season of this mini series which gave the winner R J Conley a provisional to the Dirt Track World Championship in 2018.
The 5th year of the series has the stars of the ULTIMATE MOV going to Richmond Raceway in Richmond KY to start the series with the Prelude of the Butch Shay on Friday July 19th for $3,000 to win and then staying at the facility for the 5th Annual Butch Shay Memorial for $5,000 to win.
The 2nd weekend will be a Friday and Saturday doubleheader. The Friday, July 26th, event will be a $3,000 to win event TBA as we are waiting on a track to confirm. Then on Saturday, July 27th, the tour goes to a mainstay on the Buckeye Late Model Dirt Week Tour at the NAPA Wayne Co Speedway in Orrville, OH, for the 5th Annual Don & Hans Gross Memorial for $3,000 to win.
The final weekend, the tour plans for a triple header starting at a new venue on Thursday, August 1st. We will announce this show as soon as we get confirmation. On Friday, August 2nd, the tour goes back for the 5th Annual Barn Burner at Brushcreek Motorsports Complex for $3,000 to win. The final event will be Saturday, August 3rd and plans to be a great event again this season to crown the 5th Annual Buckeye Dirt Weeks Champion. Once the track gives us the details of the Championship Event, we will get the information out to our fans and drivers.
We wanted to get the dates out for the 5th Annual Buckeye Late Model Dirt Weeks for everyone to start planning to attend. The 3 TBA tracks are in Ohio once they make the details of what they want to do official. We also will have a mini points fund this season for the drivers and will be announced later.
We cant wait for the 2019 season as we have many new drivers following ULTIMATE MOV. We hope the fans come out and support the drivers and tracks that are supporting the ULTIMATE MOV this season.
