📅 Next Up: Slinger Speedway
The series promoters are throwing a twist into the chase for the championship next week!
First, the series heads to a track that’s most reminiscent of a cereal bowl – the high-banked, tight-turning ¼-mile Slinger Speedway.
Second, drivers will get a rare shot at double points as twin 75-lap events are scheduled at the super-short-track. Fans won’t want to miss the action—even just watching drivers get on and off pit road is worth the price of admission!
