Smoky Mountain Speedway - Tennessee Tipoff (March 14-15) East Tennessee's historic Smoky Mountain Speedway hosts a two-night showdown. Local drivers have dominated here, with Scott Bloomquist, Jimmy Owens, and Mike Marlar winning five of eleven World of Outlaws races. Georgia drivers Shane Clanton, Brandon Overton, and Dale McDowell, along with South Carolina's Chris Madden, have also claimed victories. Rick Eckert remains the only non-southern winner at this track.
The track was recently modified from 4/10-mile to 3/8-mile after the 2022 Series visit. Current points leader Ryan Gustin has already found success on the new configuration, winning a Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series event. Brandon Overton and Ricky Thornton Jr. have also conquered the revised track during the Mountain Moonshine Classic.
Swainsboro Raceway - Battle at the Crossroads (March 21-22) The Series returns to Swainsboro Raceway for the first time since 2012. The 3/8-mile east Georgia oval previously hosted annual Series events, with Tim McCreadie, Rick Eckert, and Chris Madden securing victories. Recent Super Late Model winners include Dennis Erb Jr., Carson Ferguson, and Ashton Winger.
Local brothers Brandon and Cody Overton have extensive experience at Swainsboro. Brandon has collected six major victories across different series, while Cody has achieved numerous wins in Crate Late Model competition at the track.
All events will be broadcast live on DIRTVision for fans unable to attend in person.
