Southern Thaw throwing out Big Money in Lone Star State Lidlifter

Dirt track racing in the Lone Star State will kick off with a bang in 2021 when B&B Chassis presents the USRA Southern Thaw presented by American Racer—a seven-night, four-track trek through North Texas featuring USRA Stock Cars, USRA Limited Mods, Sunoco USRA Factory Stocks and USRA Tuners.

No only will piles of cash be doled out throttle-mashing early birds, but Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national points will be awarded each night.

As part of the 6th Annual Smackdown at the RPM Speedway in Crandall, the first two nights take place on Friday and Saturday, February 12-13, at the 1/4-mile bullring.

After spending Sunday in church begging forgiveness for their slide-jobs, racers roll into the Big O Speedway in Ennis on Monday and Tuesday, February 15-16, followed by a one-night stand at the 82 Speedway in Petty on Wednesday, February 17.

The B&B Chassis USRA Southern Thaw concludes on Thursday and Friday, February 18-19, at the Monarch Motor Speedway in Wichita Falls.

Stock Cars will be racing for $1,200 to win each night, Limited Mods grapple for a $1,000 top prize, Factory Stocks fight for $750 to win and Tuners try to take home $200 each night. Factory Stocks will compete for a $2,000 top prize on Saturday at the RPM Speedway.
