“It was great to be at Budds Creek,” said X-DRL president and owner Jeff Mitchell. “Royce Miller and his group run a top-notch organization and we were thrilled with our first time at MIR. We can’t thank Royce enough for his help as interim race director and the fantastic job he did with this event.

“This was our first event with Blue04 as our title sponsor and I think we will see great things in the future with this partnership. We were able to pay the purse at the event and I think it went smoothly and the racers were pleased with the process,” said Mitchell.

The next stop on the 2013 tour is September 20-21 at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis for the Thunder in the Heartland. The X-Treme Shoot-out will be contested at this event. Top eight finishers at the Bash on the Bayou in Pro X-Treme, Switzer Dynamics Pro Nitrous and X-treme Pro Stock will compete for a $75,000 purse in addition to the regular event purse.
