Superstar Racing Experience and Speed51.com to Promote Grassroots Racing
Speed51.com Named SRX’s Short Track Content Marketing Partner
CONCORD, N.C. (May 7, 2021) – Superstar Racing Experience (SRX) and Speed51.com have formed a partnership ahead of SRX’s inaugural season with Speed51.com serving as the series’ short-track content marketing partner for the 2021 season.
SRX is a six-race short-track series airing this summer on Saturday nights in primetime on CBS. It features drivers from an array of motorsports backgrounds competing in identically prepared racecars on a variety of tracks.
SRX and Speed51.com will work together to promote grassroots racing across North America.
“Speed51.com has embraced this partnership with SRX,” said Emily McCarty, General Manager, Speed51.com. “We have some of the best short-track racing fans in the country and we are intimately familiar with the tracks and drivers participating in SRX. This collaboration will provide a unique look into this thrilling new series, and our team looks forward to working alongside SRX during its highly anticipated inaugural season.”
As the leading grassroots racing source in America, Speed51.com will place a major focus on covering SRX’s local all-stars – the short-track standouts selected to compete against the impressive field of SRX regulars. Doug Coby, Brian Brown, Kody Swanson, Bobby Santos III and the winner of the 42nd Slinger Nationals will be featured in weekly editorials on Speed51.com, including The Bullring podcast.

“SRX brings racing legends to local tracks and pits local all-stars against the superstars,” said Evernham, co-founder of SRX. “Pitting guys like Doug Coby, Brian Brown, Kody Swanson, Bobby Santos III – heroes in their own area – against some of these established superstars to see who’s top dog will be compelling and will make for some great racing.
