Magnolia State Cotton Pickin’ Set for September 26-28 at Magnolia Motor Speedway

Columbus, Mississippi (08/27/19) – The 2019 edition of the Magnolia State Cotton Pickin’ 100 at Magnolia Motor Speedway is just over four weeks away.

The 2019 Magnolia State Cotton Pickin’ 100 will be held on Thursday-Saturday, September 26-28.

After seeing an Open Practice Session held on Thursday, September 26 there will be a complete $4,000-to-win/$300-to-start program on Friday, September 27 for the Super Late Models. On Saturday, September 28 the Super Late Model division will compete in a complete program that culminates with a $12,000-to-win/ $700-to-start, 70-lap finale.

“We changed things up in 2018 to have two complete Super Late Model programs instead of just one and the feedback from fans and racers was overwhelmingly positive,” track promoter Johnny Stokes said. “As a result, we’re keeping everything the same for 2019. We’ve been getting flooded already with calls from fans and teams, and we’re really looking forward to this year’s event.”

In 2018, Chris Ferguson and Dale McDowell split Super Late Model wins in the Magnolia State Cotton Pickin’ 100
