Bottom Split Racing Series Debuts June 23rd!
Since we won't be publishing an Insider next week, we're going to hype the series premiere of Bottom Split Racing Series from Kansas Speedway! Our short 20-30 minute ARCA races focus completely on developing racecraft and eliminate pit stops and fuel strategy. It's great if you need work or are new to oval racing! Due to the beginner/novice nature of the series, there are strict eligibility requirements.
We still have space for the upcoming season starting June 23rd! Learn more about the series, eligibility requirements, and register here.
Wednesday Night Dash - Short Track Madness at IRP!
Wednesday night Dash is back this week with our seasonal "Short Track Madness!" event. Although Erik and D.J. won't be in attendance for the race, you should definitely check it out. IRP produced a lot of on track chaos and with a larger field we expect that again!

Erik is about to release the schedule. Keep an eye on our social media accounts for that! Get yourself locked in now before the series fills up.
Crash Of The Week
During the Wednesday Night Dash off week we decided to test the new 2003 NASCAR Gen 4 car. Outside of Erik's brush against the wall on lap 1, we had a relatively incident free race at Homestead! A lot of wall scrapes, though...
