1 MONTH ALERT: Local Heroes Become Legends at World Short Track Championship
CONCORD, NC (Sept. 28, 2023) – Every division in racing has its “Super Bowl.” But for weekly and regional racers – most with day jobs – the World Short Track Championship is a unique opportunity to be on the biggest stage of their racing career.
More than 200 drivers from around the country will gather at The Dirt Track at Charlotte, Oct. 26-28, to compete in one of 10 divisions throughout the three-day event.
Along with racing at one of the most prominent tracks in the country, some divisions will see drivers competing against the superstars of the sport, as well. Former NASCAR star and World Short Track winner David Stremme is already entered to compete in the DIRTcar UMP Modified division.
The DIRTcar Sportsman division will also see the return of World Series Formula V8 driver Nelson Mason.
