Big River Steel Chase for the Championship - Presented by ARP Continues at Atomic and Brownstown

BATAVIA, Ohio (March 22, 2024) – The quest for the Big River Steel Chase for the Championship - Presented by ARP continues this week at Atomic Speedway and Brownstown Speedway.

Ricky Thornton Jr. leads the championship standings following the Georgia-Florida Speedweeks. The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion will earn an industry high $200,000 of the over one million dollar point fund.
