“Meet the Drivers Night is our way of saying thank you to the fans, and by offering $5 tickets through Ticket Hoss, we’re making it easier than ever for families to come out and enjoy the thrills of short-track racing.”
—General Manager Tim Bryant

  • Faith Chapel Outlaws
  • Story and Bleich Roofing Crown Stocks
  • Lloyd’s Glass Pure Stocks
  • Legacy Cars

Event schedule at a glance: Gates open at 5 p.m., Meet the Drivers kicks off at 7 p.m., and racing starts at 8 p.m.
