CONCORD, NC (May 20, 2024) – With the new chapter for the American Sprint Car Series comes the revival of the ASCS Speedweek championship for the National Tour in June.
The 28th edition of the ASCS Speedweek will consist of five straight nights of racing through Arkansas and Oklahoma, featuring races at Texarkana 67 Speedway (Tuesday, June 11), Creek County Speedway (Thursday, June 13), Arrowhead Speedway (Friday, June 14) and Tri-State Speedway (Saturday, June 15) – the race on Wednesday, June 12, is still TBD.
The National Tour has already made stops at all four tracks, but in varying quantities. The last National Tour race at Texarkana 67 Speedway, in Texarkana, AR, ran in 2008 and was won by Gary Taylor.
Creek County Speedway, in Sapulpa, OK, hosted the National Tour last season for the first time since 2008 and saw Oklahoma’s Sean McClelland score the win.
Last year, the National Tour made its debut at the state-of-the-art Arrowhead Speedway facility in Colcord, OK. At that event, Landon Britt walked away with his first career National Tour win.
Tri-State Speedway, in Pocola, OK, has hosted the National Tour on five occasions – the last race being in 2006, won by Jason Johnson.
This year will mark the Speedweek’s return for the first time since 2022. In the last five editions of the contest there have been five different champions – Tim Crawley (2022), Ryan Timms (2021), Sam Hafertepe Jr. (2019), Sammy Swindell (2018) and Aaron Reutzel (2017).
