Then, on Friday Night May 17th, there will be LOLMDS Hot Laps, RED BUCK Time Trials and heat races to set the starting field of the 2nd Annual Bad Boy 98. On Saturday Night May 18th, there will be a special autograph session for fans to meet all the stars of the LOLMDS as well as several top regional drivers from around the country. Following the autograph session, racers will get a chance to earn the final starting spots in the prestigious Bad Boy 98 feature event through the LOLMDS B-Mains. Once the starting field is set, track officials will draw tickets to match fans with each driver in the feature event for a chance to win the 2013 Kia Soul.
“The series is excited to be going back to Batesville Motor Speedway twice this year, not only for the COMP Cams Topless 100 but for the 2nd Annual Bad Boy 98 as well. We enjoy working with Mooney and Connie Starr every year and want to see this springtime event grow into something big every year for the great fans in that area. It’s a really cool deal for the fans to get a chance to drive a new car home from that event. To see all the fans that were matched up with each driver last year was exciting to watch as each one rooted for their driver to win. It’s a great promotion and event that everyone should attend,” stated Director, Ritchie Lewis.
