    Rain Forces Cancellation of 24th Annual COMP Cams Topless 100

    Locust Grove, Arkansas (08/16/16) – Heavy rain over the past week with more forecasted for the remainder of this week has forced Batesville Motor Speedway to cancel this weekend’s 24th annual COMP Cams Topless 100 presented by Crop Production Services.

    “It’s been unbelievably wet for really the past few weeks, and the facility just can’t take anymore,” said CCSDS CEO, Chris Ellis. “We hate to pull the plug on the event, but there’s just no way that the staff could have the pits and grounds ready if it stopped raining even now. It’s unfortunate but just not much we can do.”

    The $40,000-to-win event, which was scheduled to be sanctioned by the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series and Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will not be rescheduled.

    The COMP Cams Super Dirt Series presented by Lucas Oil is sponsored by and would like to thank all of their sponsors including- COMP Cams, Lucas Oil, Hoosier Tire South, Kuntz and Co. Racing Engines, New Vision Graphics, Larry Shaw Race Cars, Henryetta Ford, Black Diamond Chassis, Mark Martin Powersports, Arctic Cat, Wilwood, Allen Manufacturing, Boston's Sports Bar and Restaurant, ROCKHARD Powder Coating, Woodco, Mark Martin Automotive Group, Mid-State Golf Cars, Henryetta Ford, M&M Paint and Construction, Ronald Surrett Contracting, Beach Veterinary Services, MSR Mafia Marketing, Sampson Racing Communications, AR Bodies, Schoenfeld Headers, Wilwood, Central Arkansas Pest Services and Keyser Manufacturing.

    Thanks Ben.

    Sorry Scott. The payback will have to wait a couple weeks.

        Trust me Josh. I live on a hill and my yard is still mush. I think there is a chance of rain for the next 8 or 9 days straight. I've had my fill of it for a while.....

          I"m sure. There's a lot more to worry about than a race. There's tons of flooding going on all over the place.
