$20,000-To-Win Super Late Models at Volunteer Speedway on Thursday, April 6

BULLS GAP, Tenn. (March 23, 2023) – The plot continues to thicken for the second running of the Kyle Larson Presents, FloRacing Late Model Challenge.

Joining 2021 NASCAR Cup Series Champion, Kyle Larson on the entry list for the extravaganza is 2015 and 2019 NASCAR Cup Series Champion, Kyle Busch. This will mark Busch’s first-ever start at the high-banked, East Tennessee dirt oval.

The Nevada native will pilot a team car to Dirt Late Model standout, Brandon Overton on Thursday, April 6 at Volunteer Speedway (Bulls Gap, Tenn.).

The action-packed program kicks-off a weekend full of dirt racing, which includes a busy NASCAR slate at the nearby Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway.

While Kyle Busch is best known for his accomplishments on asphalt, he’s no stranger to Dirt Super Late Model racing. In fact, he picked up a win in the division during the 2012 running of the Prelude to the Dream at Tony Stewart’s Eldora Speedway.

Busch, who is the winningest active driver in NASCAR Cup Series competition, made Dirt Super Late Model starts in 2021 aboard a Jonathan Davenport team car during the Bristol Dirt Nationals at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Adding to his dirt resume, Busch has also entered a bevy of Micro Sprint events over the past few years, including a victory in the Outlaw division at Oklahoma’s Port City Raceway last October.

Kyle Larson and Kyle Busch will take on a star-studded field of expected Super Late Models entrants on Thursday, April 6 at Volunteer Speedway. High stakes, major cash prizes, and maximum bragging rights will be on the line.
