XR announces the addition of 604 Crate Late Models to the 2022 Karl Kustoms Bristol Dirt Nationals class lineup.
After listening to drivers, teams and fans, the 604 Crate Late Models will make their return to the Karl Kustoms Bristol Dirt Nationals March 27-April 2 at Bristol Motor Speedway (Tenn.).
604s were a part of the inaugural event in 2021 and produced thrilling action at “The Last Great Colosseum.” Interest among the crate late model community and a demand to race once again in Thunder Valley on a dirt-covered Bristol Motor Speedway will add to an already jam-packed two weeks of racing with now-11 total classes.
“We always want to put our racers first, and bringing back the 604 Crates to Bristol, it was something they definitely wanted too,” said XR Chief Operating Officer Dan Robinson. “We know the prestige and history of Bristol, and it’s simply a place everyone dreams of racing at. The crate late models put on a fantastic show, and we can’t wait to showcase them once again on this stage.”
The 604s will race week 2, March 27-April 2. They will follow the same program as all other non-Super Late Model classes at the Bristol Dirt Nationals and be a part of XR’s Progressive Payout structure for supporting classes. A $5,000 prize will be the minimum a racer can win with $10,000 being the maximum dependent upon car count.
The 604s join Open Modifieds, Factory Stocks, Street Stocks, Hornets and Super Late Models in week 2. Last year, NASCAR standout Austin Dillon (# 3) won the 604 Late Model A-Main.
