(WHEELERSBURG, OHIO) Over a rainy Labor Day holiday weekend from the remnants of Hurricane Harvey, Conley Motorsports, Inc. (CMI) got one race into the record books - the $25,000 to win 'Hillbilly Hundred' on Sunday, September 3 at Tyler County Speedway in Middlebourne, West Virginia. R.J. Conley timed in eleventh quickest in Group A during Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series qualifying prior to running seventh in his stacked heat race. After grabbing the third and final transfer spot through his B-Main, R.J. rolled off from the inside of the eleventh row in the 100-lap main event. The Wheelersburg, Ohio ace was then caught up in a couple of caution flags during the 'Hillbilly Hundred' and eventually retired in the twenty-fifth position. Full results from Tyler County can be obtained by clicking on www.lucasdirt.com.

The Dirt Late Model world will now converge on the famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio from September 7-9 for the 47th Annual 'World 100,' which marks the sport's most prestigious event. Action will get underway at the 1/2-mile speedplant in Darke County on Thursday and Friday with Twin 25s, each of which pay $10,000 to the winner. Saturday's traditional lineup at the "Big E" will feature six heat races, consolation events, and the 100-lap 'World 100' that will boast a gargantuan $50,000 windfall. A total of $425,800 in purse money will be distributed throughout the crown jewel weekend, which includes at least $2,500 going to each of the thirty 'World 100' starters.

R.J. has started the 'World 100' headliner on eight different occasions in his career with his best effort of seventh coming back in 2003.
