👑 What an incredible King of Columbus Backside Battle presented by Palmetto State Armory!

158 total entries, started around 3:30 pm and we finished just after midnight!

We were blessed with great weather, no oil downs or accidents, a record crowd, great car count, and INCREDIBLE side-by-side racing all night long!

To every sponsor, racer, crew member, fan, employee, media person, and everyone who offered to help or shared our event information — THANK YOU!

Hns Escobar, Kenzie Miles and crew did an incredible job keeping everything moving smoothly throughout the day. Cayden Fields definitely earned his pay this weekend working the finish line camera, Dustin Fay on the crack cam and Billy Fields jumped in to help on the mic when we needed him most!

Bird Man elevated the event this year by bringing his BMF Bikes to battle it out on the backside with us, and what a show that was!

We truly couldn't have asked for things to go much better. That's a credit to having the right people in the right places, racers answering the calls quickly, and the good Lord being on our side this weekend.

We’re proud of what this event has become, but we're not done. We're already discussing what we can do to make it even better in the future.

Thank you again to everyone who made this weekend possible.

Full event results coming soon!
