Gas City I-69 Speedway: Best Show In the Country

Last week I made the three hour trip down Interstate 69 to the Gas City Speedway. This wasn’t to see USAC, All Stars, World of Outlaws, or any other group.

For $5.00 general admission fans got to see a full program of traditional sprint cars, UMP Modifieds, and the Street Stocks. I can honestly tell anyone though it’s worth driving twice as far as I have to for what might be the best short track going in the United States today.
