“With this format, you not only have to be the fastest driver, but you’ve got to be the smartest driver, too,” added Tony Stewart, who co-founded SRX and will also drive one of the cars this summer. There are a maximum 12 points to earn in each heat, and the race winner receives 25 points. Stewart also thought he could find drivers who had stepped away from full-time racing but still wanted to occasionally compete. ”Every track is so different, and we don’t know how abrasive the pavement tracks are going to be and what kind of grip we’re going to have on the dirt tracks. Even for the local all-stars who have turned thousands of laps at their particular track, they’ll be doing it in a totally different environment.”Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
