Oktaha- Oklahoma – June 9, 2015 - This Friday night will be “Full Body Friday” at Outlaw Motor Speedway in Oktaha, Oklahoma as the big three-eighths mile oval will host the Missouri based MARS DIRTcar late model series as well as the Arkansas based Comp Cams Super Dirt Series in both series only appearance for the 2015 race season.
Close to thirty drivers from five states are expected at the Chris Smith promoted facility, which was bought over the winter by Longdale Speedway owner Jessie Hoskins. Chris is no stranger to the MARS DIRTcar series and officials as the former National Championship Racing Association late model official worked closely with the touring series when both series co-sanctioned events with each other. Chris and MARS DIRTcar president Randy Mooneyham both have a good working relationship with each other so look for a very organized ran event.
