It was a “Big Deal” with tire testing to match. 141 Dirt Modified tire samples were conducted by XR Events staff at “The Big Deal” from Mississippi Thunder Speedway from May 29 to June 1, 2024. 59 of these samples were tested by multiple labs, including inside and outside tire samples, and all have passed benchmark tests. 20 samples were conducted for the eventual race winner, Cade Dillard. Any remaining funds for drivers tested through the week and from Saturday’s $100,001-to-WIN event will now be distributed. All results are official.
The additional (backup) samples will be tested for research and development purposes. Six tires were impounded at the event and extensive testing will be conducted on those compounds to strengthen benchmark standards and future testing.
In addition, tires from the XR Super Series event at Kokomo Speedway on June 10, 2024 have passed and all prize funds will now be distributed from that event.
XR Events continues to maintain strict and transparent tire testing practices. 100 tire samples have been tested at the cost of $12,292.50 so far in 2024. All results can be viewed at: https://xrevents.com/rules/tire-testing/
