Hunt County Raceway adds USRA firepower to 2024 lineup
Officials from the United States Racing Association announced recently that the Hunt County Raceway in Greenville, Texas, will welcome the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series to their Friday night lineup in 2024.
"We are excited to announce that the County Armory Factory Stock and Baker's Ribs Limited Mod divisions will be USRA-sanctioned for the 2024 season," track officials said. "We feel this is the best decision for us and the racers."
Since taking the reigns at the former Superbowl Speedway at the beginning of 2023, promoters Josh Landers and Donnie Schipp have been moving fast forward and full throttle, and that continues in 2024 with two big events to kick off the season.
First, the track will host the season-opening event for the Summit USMTS Modifieds on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 23-24, with the 9th Annual Summit USMTS Texas Winter Nationals.
In addition to the USMTS Modifieds, the race will feature USRA Stock Cars, USRA Limited Mods and Sunoco USRA Factory Stocks will also be on the card with the first event of the year awarding Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national points for both classes. Eco-Mods will also be racing.
Three weeks later, the track hosts the RaceOnTexas Southern Thaw for USRA Stock Cars. The nine-night, three-track trek through North Texas and into Oklahoma will feature more than $80,000 in prize money plus a hefty points fund to pad the racing budgets of USRA Stock Car racers for 2024.
After the opening weekend at the Rocket Raceway Park in Petty, Texas, the Hunt County Raceway will host the mini-series on Monday and Tuesday, March 18-19. Each event will pay $1,000 to win and no less than $100 to start the first night with the second night at each track paying $2,000 to win and $200 to start the main event.
Action resumes at the Arrowhead Speedway in Colcord, Okla., on Friday and Saturday, March 22-23, with both nights featuring a main event paying $5,000 to the winner and no less than $500 to each USRA Stock Car driver that starts the feature.
