11th Annual Gumbo Nationals Rapidly Approaching at Greenville Speedway
Greenville, Mississippi (09/20/17) – In less than three weeks it will be time to set the gumbo on fire as the 11th annual Gumbo Nationals will come to life at Greenville Speedway (Greenville, Mississippi) on October 5-7, 2017
This is a must-see event each year. In fact, in 2015 it was chosen to be one of DirtOnDirt.com’s Top-5 Super Late Model races of the year.
For 2017 the Super Late Model division will battle a total payout in excess of $40,000 as the Mississippi State Championship Challenge Series (MSCCS) Super Late Model thunders into town. The finale will be headlined by a $10,000-to-win/$1,000-to-start, 75-lap feature, which again matches the richest event in the facilities history. All Super Late Models will be required to run an 8" spoiler.
