From the World 100s and 4-Crown Nationals at Eldora Speedway to the Tuscarora 50 at Port Royal Speedway and Fonda 200 at Fonda Speedway, September was a big month of racing for dirt racers in America.
With the month of racing concluded, we're taking on the difficult task of ranking the top 10 drivers who performed best during the month.
1) Brandon Overton - After sweeping the Dirt Late Model Dreams in June, it appeared as though Overton was on his way to doing the unthinkable and sweeping the World 100s in September. "Big Sexy" won the 51st Annual World 100 before finishing third in the 50th Annual World 100. Later in the month, he added a $50,000 Texas Dirt Nationals victory at Texas Motor Speedway and an ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series win at Modoc Raceway.
