On Saturday, July 6, the Tyler County Speedway will shift gears as the Redneck Revival Festival of Mud presented by Haas Environmental and Monroe Towing will take center stage.

Dennis Anderson is the creator/driver of the Grave Digger Monster Truck. Dennis will be at Bridgeport Rental displaying the truck and signing autographs Friday afternoon.

Gates and registration open at 9 a.m., with mud bog scheduled to start at noon. Admission for the Redneck Revival Festival of Mud is $12 for adults, $5 for children ages seven to 12 years, and free for children ages six and under.
