Three tracks. Twelve big nights. Zero room for error.
It’s time to drop the hammer on the Inaugural RidgeRunner Late Model Series — and the 2026 tour is locked and loaded! These Steel Block warriors are set to battle it out across three of Southwest Virginia’s most exciting dirt tracks… and only ONE will be crowned champion.
We kick things off with a HUGE Opening Weekend Double-Header:
🔥 Friday, April 17th — Oak Level Raceway
🔥 Saturday, April 18th — Wythe Raceway
Then the tour rolls on 👇
Saturday, May 2nd — Wythe Raceway
Saturday, May 30th — Ararat BullRing
Friday, July 24th — Oak Level Raceway
Saturday, July 25th — Wythe Raceway
Saturday, August 1st — Ararat BullRing
Saturday, August 8th — Wythe Raceway
Saturday, August 29th — Ararat BullRing
Friday, September 18th — Oak Level Raceway
Saturday, September 19th — Ararat BullRing
Saturday, October 17th — Oak Level Raceway
From the Dirt Track Super Speedway at Wythe Raceway (1/2 mile)… to the newly reborn Oak Level Raceway (3/8 mile)… to the tight, elbows-up Ararat BullRing (3/10 mile) — this tour has every style of dirt track racing covered.
12 Races. 3 Tracks. 1 Champion.
Every single race on the tour pays a minimum of $3,000 to win — and the Series Champion is guaranteed a $3,000 payday of their own. That’s $39,000 in FIRST-PLACE prize money on the line for the baddest Steel Block driver out there.
The chase for the crown begins with an Opening Weekend Double-Header — Friday, April 17th at Oak Level Raceway and Saturday, April 18th at Wythe Raceway — and the Champion will be decided during the finale weekend October 16–17th back at Oak Level Raceway.
Get ready…
Because the RidgeRunner Late Model Series is about pride… grit… horsepower… and chasing glory in the Blue Ridge.
