Pike County revives Jambalaya 100
Pike County Speedway this evening announced plans to revive the Jambalaya 100 on the last weekend in October with a $10,000-to-win Super Late Model race highlighting the seven-division event in Magnolia, Miss.
The Oct. 30-31 event includes two complete programs for unsanctioned Super Late Models with a $2,000-to-win event (30 laps) on opening night and five-figure payday for the 70-lap finale. Crate Late Models, paying $2,500 for the finale, are among undercard divisions.
The revival marks the first running of the event since 2010, when Rodney Wing of Meridian, Miss., earned a $5,000 Southern United Professional Racing victory. Previous Jambalaya 100 winners include Scott Bloomquist, Jimmy Mars, Bill Frye, Ronny Adams, David Ashley and Chris Wall.
On Shore Companies, S&B Contracting and 10m Motorsports are among event sponsors. Visit the track’s Facebook page for more details.
