(Middlebourne, WV) The Renegades of Dirt Modified Tour presented by Arizona Sport Shirts is anxious to announce two additional touring shows to it’s 2014 season schedule. The pair of events will both be at first time venues for the three year open wheel modified organization that continues it’s growth by the day. On August 1stand 2ndthe Renegades of Dirt will invade the Legendary Hilltop Speedway and the Ohio Valley Speedway for a double header weekend appropriately being dubbed as the “Ohio River Shootout” presented by Adrenaline Performance Products. The weekend will take the tour along the beautiful banks of the Ohio River each night in search for a pair of $1,500 dollar paydays. Both nights guarantee excitement at some of the raciest places in the region featuring two tacky short tracks that tend to provide tons of two and three wide action. In addition, race fans are highly anticipating the ‘shootout’ between the traveling series regulars from at least six states and those who have made the local area their stomping grounds since dirt modifieds got their start in the region over twenty years ago.
