The Superstar Racing Experience (SRX) will return to Connecticut’s Stafford Speedway for the 2024 season opener.
It is the second confirmed date on the six-race series schedule, with Michigan’s Berlin Raceway being the second.
The Thursday, July 11, visit to Stafford will be the fifth series race at the half-mile track.
“This is a testament to the Northeast race fans,” said Stafford Speedway CEO Mark Arute. “We were honored to host the SRX series the first time in 2021, now we are on SRX’s fifth visit to Stafford. Our fans continue to show how much they love short track racing.
“Each time the SRX series has come to town the atmosphere in the stands is incredible. The Northeast has always been overlooked when it comes to the national auto racing spotlight but SRX has proved that these fans deserve events like this.”
Past Stafford SRX winners include Ryan Newman, Denny Hamlin and local hero Doug Coby.
“I’ve known the Arute’s for a very long time, they wanted SRX back and we think it makes sense,” explained SRX CEO Don Hawk. “The ownership group, ESPN and the drivers’ reaction was similar — they run a first class race track and we pack the place every year. Why not reward that commitment and passion of the entire Arute Family with the return to CT?”
