I’ve Been Doing some thinking… with High School Sports being on Summer Break and Dirt Track Racing Rolling… with DIRTcar Racing Summer Nationals rolling through Southeast Missouri with Stops @ Poplar Bluff Motorsports Park (June 22nd) Benton Speedway (June 23rd) & Farmington Empire Speedway (July 1st) I will cover the “HELL TOUR” from the First Checkered Flag @ Brownstown Bullring (June 9th) to the Final Checkered Flag @ Fairbury American Legion Speedway (July 25th)

As Videographer Duties Call on Nights Poplar Bluff & Benton races weekly shows so updates maybe slow on those nights.

But just know I want to be CLEAR as I am the Video Guy @ Benton & Poplar Bluff the nights the SUMMER NATIONALS roll through Poplar Bluff & Benton NO STREAMS WILL BE ON Beeson Media… ALL SUMMER NATIONALS RACES can be found exclusively on DIRTVision.

So LET THE 40th YEAR OF HELL BEGIN!

Tuesday, June 9 | Brownstown Bullring | Brownstown, IL
Wednesday, June 10 | Kankakee County Speedway | Kankakee, IL
Thursday, June 11 | Peoria Speedway | Peoria, IL
