Southern Thaw
USRA Stock Car Speedweek Set For March 14-23
Dirt track racing in the Lone Star State will kick off
with a bang in 2024 with the RaceOnTexas Southern Thaw
USRA Stock Car Speedweek—a three-track trek through
North Texas and Southern Oklahoma.
Piles of cash
will be doled out to these larger-than-life grassroots
throttle-mashers with more than $80,000 in purses plus a
stout points fund to get USRA Stock Car racers a head
start on their 2024 racing budgets.
The Rocket
Raceway Park in Petty, Texas, will host the mini-series
opener on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, March 14-16,
and after a day of rest on Sunday to repent for their
harrowing slide-jobs, the USRA Stock Cars head to the
Hunt County Raceway in Greenville, Texas, on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, March 18-20.
Both
racetracks will host an open practice on Thursday night,
followed by a $1,000-to-win, $100-to-start contest on
Friday leading up to Saturday’s $2,000-to-win,
$200-to-start main event. Supports classes will be
announced soon.
Action resumes Thursday, March
21, when the USRA Stock Cars will take the stage for the
inaugural Stand On It Classic—an event commemorating
John and Susan Stand at the state-of-the-art Arrowhead
Speedway in Colcord, Okla.
Both Friday and
Saturday, March 22-23, will feature a main event that
shells out $5,000 to the winner and no less than $500 to
each driver that takes the green flag in the feature.
AmeriFlex USRA B-Mods will also compete both nights
with USRA Tuners racing Friday and Pure Stocks on
Saturday’s card. The event has a rain date of March
28-30.
