USMTS Fires
Up 2024 with Four Nights in North Texas
The 26th season featuring America’s premier powerhouse
of dirt modified racing kicks off the 2024 campaign with
a huge doubleheader weekend in the Lone Star State for
the Summit USMTS National Championship presented by
RacinDirt.
Fire lights the fuse on Friday and
Saturday, February 23-24, with the 9th Annual Summit
USMTS Texas Winter Nationals at the Hunt County Raceway
in Greenville, Texas, and then blasts off the next
weekend at the Rocket Raceway Park in Petty, Texas, on
Friday and Saturday, March 1-2.
Both North Texas
venues will host an open practice on Thursday night from
6-9 p.m. before the two doubleheaders. All four shows
will pay $5,000 to win for the Summit USMTS Modifieds—a
possible $20,000 to sweep the first four features of
2024.
Returning to the former Superbowl Speedway
for the first time since 2019, the Hunt County Raceway
is a 1/4-mile semi-banked dirt oval located 5.0 miles
south of Greenville on SR 34, then west on FM 1903 to
437 FM-1903, Greenville, TX, 75402.
The USMTS
debuted here in 2014 with Johnny Scott taking the win
and his twin brother, Stormy Scott, grabbing the next
one three months later. Cade Dillard won the 2016 event
and Ryan Gustin captured the last event here on June 4,
2019.

After a thriller to open the 25th Anniversary season
last year, fans can expect more of the same when the
USMTS returns to Kevin Sustaire’s Rocket Raceway Park.
Eventual Grant Junghans USMTS Rookie of the Year Tom
Berry Jr. bested veteran Terry Phillips and a record 85
entries on the first night while Jake Timm topped the
rain-delayed Sunday show.
Meanwhile, eventual
USMTS national champ Dustin Sorensen topped the opening
night in 2022 with the finale of the 12th Annual Texas
Spring Nationals going to Tyler Davis—the eventual
Summit USRA Modified National Champion.
Prior to
that, the series was rained out in 2019 when the track
was called 82 Speedway. Before that, it was known as
East Texas Speedway and Philip Houston won the first
USMTS contest here on June 25, 2015.

Chisholm, Dereck Ramirez, Tanner Mullens, Jake O'Neil,
Dan Ebert, Tyler Wolff, Zack VanderBeek, Cayden Carter,
