SRX has officially announced it's schedule:

June 12: Stafford Motor Speedway, Stafford Springs, CT

June 19: Knoxville (Iowa) Speedway

June 26: Eldora Speedway, New Weston, OH

July 3: Lucas Oil Raceway, Indianapolis

July 10: Slinger (Wisconsin) Speedway

July 17: Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway

Here is another wrinkle that SRX is working on adding to the races that might make it interesting.

that would be pretty neat if they would televise the support races as well

I feel like that could be the goal, because otherwise the USAC Silver Crown date at Eldora doesn't make sense (especially logistically, as they got a asphalt race at Madison up in Wisconsin the night before, and most of the mid field runs the same motor in both dirt & asphalt cars, so huge turn around for both travel & car)

most of the tracks do have rights tied up but I could see it being flexible given it is CBS network TV time. Flo has rights to the USAC race at Eldora (IRP is TBD), DIRTvision has rights to Knoxville's weekly show, and Stafford does their own thing in regards to PPV (reason why they split up from NASCAR this year, because they wanted to use the PPV money to support the weekly purse & points fund). Speed51 usually has CRA races, but nothing announced yet.

I might have to check out the Stafford race.

as teased, Ilmor will be the engine supplier for SRX. Teaser shots of the car shows that it's using a similar engine to the NASCAR Truck & ARCA spec engines. Edelbrock also named a official supplier

Noticeable absence of the giant splitter and the X grill (looks more like a bow tie now).
Still, much more optimistic about seeing that racing.

Yesss...no splitter! Looks too much like a first-generation Daytona Prototype though.

Looks like a late model and a Ferrari F40 had a baby.

Here is the announce team.



The driver analysts are going to do 2 races each. Danica is going to be the driver analyst for Stafford Springs and Knoxville. Hinchcliffe is doing Eldora and Nashville. Dario is doing Lucas Oil and Slinger, from what I saw on Twitter.

There will also be a practice day for Eldora's weekend on the Friday night before the race. Other divisions supporting it is TBD

I assume Speed is taking Webber's place then?

nah, that was either Marco or Michael Waltrip. There's supposed to be 2 wildcards so I would assume Speed is one of those wildcards alongside Kody Swanson

Webber still wants to race in the series, but can't on a full time basis for 2021 with COVID restrictions & travel issues.
