A new chapter will be added to Short Track Nationals lore this weekend. After becoming a staple at Little Rock’s I-30 Speedway beginning in 1988 and evolving into a crown jewel event of winged 360-ci Sprint Car racing, the 36th edition of storied Short Track Nationals takes place this weekend for the first time at Texarkana 67 Speedway.
Winged 360-ci Sprint Cars have been a rare sighting at Texarkana 67 Speedway over the years. But with last year’s closure of I-30 Speedway, that changes in a big way next weekend as the 36th Annual COMP Cams Short Track Nationals presented by Hoosier Tires & Ark-La-Tex Lawn and Landscape shifts to Texarkana 67 Speedway for the first time.
It can be difficult to peruse the Short Track Nationals history books without frequently coming across Sammy Swindell’s name.
The National Sprint Car Hall of Famer is ready to add more to the record books as he will take in next weekend’s $20,000-to-win 36th Annual COMP Cams Short Track Nationals presented by Hoosier Tires & Ark-La-Tex Lawn and Landscape at Texarkana 67 Speedway.
The storied Short Track Nationals lives on. And in a big way as well, with a $20,000 winner’s share up for grabs at the prestigious ASCS-sanctioned Winged 360-ci Sprint Car event that takes place at Texarkana 67 Speedway on October 5-7.
I-30 Speedway’s 35th Annual COMP Cams Short Track Nationals presented by Hoosier Tires may still be another three weekends away. But a starting position in the $15,041-to-win, $1,100-to-start event will be secured this Saturday night.
