BRISTOL, Tenn., Oct. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The highly anticipated Bandit Big Rig Series season finale comes to Bristol Motor Speedway and its illustrious tradition on Saturday, October 12th.

Ricky Rude (two-time defending champion) holds a slim 13-point edge over Mark "Wheel Man" Noble entering the finale. Marshall "Pig Pen" Davis & Allen "Turbo" Boles remain in contention, both within 100 points of the leader.
