Beebe, Arkansas (08/29/16) – With the end of summer rapidly approaching the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) presented by Lucas Oil is rapidly approaching the end of its 2016 docket. This weekend, September 2-4 will see the Triple Crown contested as the series enters the home stretch of the 2016 season.

Sixteen events have been contested so far this year for the CCSDS competitors with 12 different drivers finding victory lane on at least one occasion.
