The 2023 SRX slate has been officially released by the series, under the return of the Thursday Night Thunder brand.
It’s the third season in existence for the series, which is reportedly growing in demand for tracks eager to host the tour around the country.
“The six tracks we selected came from a list of 42 fantastic venues, all who had real interest in hosting an
SRX race this summer,” Don Hawk, SRX Chief Executive Officer, said in a release. “When selecting the schedule, we prioritized historic tracks that have had success hosting big-time events. We are really excited with the six tracks that have been selected – the venues will be packed and bring incredible energy and local racing passion that will come out on ESPN for Thursday Night Thunder. This summer will be short track racing at its very best. SRX at 6 historic short tracks all over the US – we can’t wait and are so excited for the fans to experience it on ESPN in Primetime.”
The series will again run six races for its season, with each of them being broadcasted live on Thursday’s at 8:00 p.m. CT.
Stafford Speedway will host the season opener on July 23, 2023.
“It was important to us to kick-off this summer at Stafford Motor Speedway, in Bristol’s (CT) backyard.
Stafford and the Arute Family have done a first-class job, and the proximity to ESPN made the home game concept very exciting,” Hawk said in the release. SRX’s first visit to Thunder Road (VT) will be awesome – the fans there are spectacular, and we’re excited for race rans around the country to see how awesome that place is. We are equally excited to visit Motor Mile and Berlin Race – these are two tracks that have been on our radar since day one. Finally, finishing the season with back-to-back dirt races will test the driver’s adaptability. Eldora is a world class facility, and with Tony [Stewart], we know we are getting the very best. And hosting our championship at Lucas Oil Speedway in Missouri will be the perfect finale to a diverse and exciting 2023 summer schedule.”
