Tony Stewart’s new Superstar Racing Experience gets started this weekend.
There really isn’t any answer as to what this series could turn into whether it be a modern day IROC or a more action-packed Champions Tour similar to what the PGA has.
What it does have, at least, are the tools to be successful.
Stewart brings a star-studded roster of drivers that includes the most recent Indy 500 winner, legends from both NASCAR and IndyCar, as well as a group of personalities that are anything but boring.
The series put up this promotional video on Monday.
The competition between @SRXRacing drivers never stops…even when it comes to remote control cars.

Each race for the tour will be live on national television – kicking off every Saturday night on at 7:00 p.m. CT on CBS. The six-race season starts on Saturday with a date on the asphalt at Stafford Speedway in Connecticut.
Now, each track will see a unique entry list outside of the normal 10 racers going for the win.
On Saturday at Stafford, the hometown hero entry will be driven by six-time Whelen Modified champion Doug Coby. He’s one of four drivers that will serve as a hometown cat to come in and race. Another will be Brian Brown at Knoxville.
There will also be a full-time car that will be driven by a ringer each week. Stafford’s entry will be former NASCAR Cup Series star Greg Biffle.
The full schedule can be seen below and we’ll get our first look at the experiment on Saturday.
