BATAVIA, Ohio -- The stars of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing return to the scenic foothills of East Tennessee this weekend as Smoky Mountain Speedway hosts the annual Mountain Moonshine Classic presented by FK Rod Ends and East Tennessee Auto Outlet on Friday and Saturday, June 19-20.

Nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Smoky Mountain Speedway is located in Maryville, Tennessee, approximately 20 miles south of Knoxville. The high-banked 3/8-mile clay oval sits just off Brick Mill Road and has become one of the premier dirt racing facilities in the Southeast. Surrounded by the scenic mountain landscape that gives the region its name, the speedway combines a picturesque setting with a fast, challenging racing surface that routinely produces thrilling side-by-side competition for drivers and fans alike.

Action begins Friday night with a complete Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series program highlighted by a 40-lap feature paying $10,000 to the winner. The weekend culminates Saturday with another full show and a lucrative $30,000-to-win finale.

Gates open at noon both days, with drivers' meetings scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and hot laps beginning at 7:00 p.m.

In addition to the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, fans will enjoy a full slate of support division racing throughout the weekend.
