By Jack Smith
The United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series made their only scheduled appearance at Waycross Motor Speedway Saturday night. Twenty-nine late models were on hand, and twenty-six took the green flag after 4 heat races were run.

A big two weeks coming up on the tracks, starting with Boyd’s Grand Re-Opening Friday with the Advance Auto Parts Thunder Series super LMs, a big field of UDLMC LMs Saturday at Golden Isles, and two features - Top Track crates and Supers - at Rome Sunday. Dixie and Rome both shoot off their fire works a week early.

Lavonia hosts the Carolina Clash super LM tour Friday.
