On any given Friday or Saturday evening, thousands of racers come together to do battle at their local short tracks. Though the competition and technology have come a long ways, the roots of it all remain unchanged. Success often comes from sacrifice and it rarely happens overnight. No matter how big the stakes, each driver puts everything they have on the line each time they take to the track. It all comes down to who has the right combination of control and chaos to determine who will stand atop the podium once the dust settles.

Every weekend, men and women from all walks of life take it to the track to put it on the line. It’s about more than taking a pile of circle track racing parts and building it into a car. It's is the thrill of competition. We salute you, the racer, who keeps dirt track racing alive.

We all look forward to each and every racing season. You can feel the thunderous V8 vibration in your chest. You can smell the sweet waft of methanol in the air. You can wipe the dust from your face, but not the smile. Dirt Track racing is a phenomena with roots in racers who pit their mechanical ability, their driving skill, and their bravery against others in a contest of speed and endurance.
