SRX Racing Announces Its 2023 Schedule
Superstar Racing Experience (SRX) announced its full 2023 schedule after previously revealing they had partnered with ESPN to broadcast all of their 2023 races on Thursday nights as part of a revival of ESPN Thursday Night Thunder.
SRX will be returning to Stafford Motor Speedway for its third year. It’s also the only track to be on the schedule for all three years SRX has been touring.
The series will also return to Eldora Speedway. They previously raced there in the inaugural season with Tony Stewart winning the feature race but did not return in 2022. It’s back in 2023.
Another returning track is Lucas Oil Speedway. Ernie Francis Jr. won the inaugural race in 2021.
Along with these three returning tracks, they also added three new tracks. They will be heading to Thunder Road Speedbowl in Barre, Vermont, Motor Mile Speedway, in Radford, Virginia, and Berlin Raceway in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The series kicks off on Thursday, July 13 at Stafford Motor Speedway in Stafford Springs, CT with coverage beginning on ESPN at 9 p.m. ET.
After tearing up the asphalt at the home of the SK Modifieds, SRX travels to Thunder Road Speedbowl in Barre, Vermont on July 20th.
The tour heads south to Motor Mile Speedway in Radford, Virginia on July 27th before turning northwest to Berlin Raceway in Grand Rapids, Michigan on August 3rd.
The final two races SRX leaves the asphalt and hits the dirt at Eldora Speedway in New Weston, Ohio on August 10th and concludes the season at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri.
SRX Chief Executive Officer Don Hawk revealed the organization whittled the schedule down to six track from 42.
“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,” he stated.
He then explained what went into their decision-making process, “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,” he added.
He further detailed, “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.”
“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,” he relayed. “We are equally excited to visit Motor Mile and Berlin Raceway – 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,” Hawk concluded.
Tickets for Motor Mile and Berlin Raceway are already available to purchase. Tickets for Stafford Motor Speedway will go on sale on Thursday, January 5th.
