The long-time event will once again return to the famous high banks of the mighty Tri-State Speedway on March 29th, 30th and 31st, 2018.

The series is aimed at making late model racing competitive and affordable. They plan on running races this season at tracks in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas. The Kegger will be their first race of the new series and is already attracting interest, not only from regional drivers, but from other states outside of the four-state area.
