Red, White & Blue
Nationals Set To Light Up Tri-State Speedway
Dirt
track racing fans are gearing up for an electrifying
three-night event at Tri-State Speedway, scheduled for
Thursday through Saturday, Sept. 11-13.
Announced
earlier this year by USMTS and track officials, the Red,
White & Blue Nationals will bring big money and high-octane
action to fans of the Summit USMTS National Championship
presented by RacinDirt, all while paying tribute to a
defining moment in American history.
The weekend
kicks off with Salute the Heroes Night on Thursday, honoring
those who serve. Friday follows with Honor the Fallen Night,
a poignant nod to sacrifice, before culminating in
Saturday’s Never Forget Night finale.
Each evening
promises intense competition and substantial payouts, making
this a crown jewel event on the USMTS calendar. Thursday
pays $3,000 to win, Friday's victory earns $5,000 and
$20,000 is just waiting for the winner to claim after
Saturday';s finale.
Adding to the excitement,
RacinDirt.com is offering $1,000 cash for the best
patriotic-themed car wrap, with the USMTS awarding $500 to
the runner-up design.
The event’s patriotic spirit
will be matched by unique trophies for each night’s winners,
along with a lineup of special activities still in the
works.
In February, the USMTS turned to fans for
inspiration, posting on Facebook to crowdsource the event’s
name. Brent Barker emerged as the winner, earning two free
tickets for each night of the Red, White & Blue Nationals.
His contribution helped shape what promises to be an
unforgettable weekend.
Race organizers are urging
fans to mark their calendars and book accommodations early,
as this event is expected to draw crowds eager for both the
racing and the tribute. With its blend of competition and
commemoration, the Red, White & Blue Nationals at Tri-State
Speedway is poised to be a must-see spectacle.
Located at 1705 W Race Track Rd, Pocola, OK 74902, the track
sits just 1.6 miles west of the Arkansas-Oklahoma state line
on US 271, then 0.3 miles north, making it easily accessible
from nearby Fort Smith, Ark., and surrounding areas.
Celebrating over five decades of continuous operation, the
speedway has been a staple of the local racing scene since
its inaugural event on May 28, 1971.
Originally named
Mighty Mouse Speedway when construction began in October
1970, the track was carved from a rocky hill using
explosives to shape its distinctive high banks. Founded by
the late Tillman Evans, it transitioned from an incomplete
dirt layout to a paved surface later in 1971.
By
1979, it reverted to its current dirt configuration, which
has since hosted a variety of stock car, modified, late
model, and sprint car events. A fan-naming contest in the
'70s led to its current name, Tri-State Speedway, reflecting
the draw of racers from Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri.
The Tri-State Speedway offers a family-friendly
atmosphere, and has seen upgrades like new concession
stands, a track office, repaired grandstands, and improved
exterior walls. The 2025 season marks its 55th consecutive
year.
For the latest schedules, results, or contact
details, the track’s official website at
tri-statespeedway.com and on
Facebook are key resources, or call
(918) 436-2914 for direct
inquiries.
Tri-State Speedway remains a beloved
venue, blending tradition, competition, and community spirit
in the heart of Oklahoma’s racing country.
The USMTS
is the ultimate proving ground where only the fiercest, most
skilled dirt slingers in North America dare to tread. This
is where legends are forged, battles are won and the roar of
engines drowns out the weak.
Since 1999, this is
where the elite meet, and every driver from the top guns to
the local heroes get a shot at glory at some of America's
most brutal dirt tracks. This is where the Best of the Best
in dirt modified racing come to show their mettle.
When it comes to outlaw dirt modified racing, the USMTS has
no equal. USMTS is the Real Deal. Don't be afraid of the
fast.
