From Dan Stewart (A.K.A. Race Nut) (former Midwest Dirt Track Facts website). Dan does post on 4m as well.
It takes the website a few minutes to load.
Midwest Dirt Tracks Facts - https://www.midwestdirttrackfacts.com/
UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals History and all 103 of the tracks that have been a part of the tour.

I have attended races at 42 of these
I've attended races at 31 of them. Got rained out at a couple of others. Some really good ones that have closed sorry to say.
I've been to 20 of those tracks, so that not very many I guess.
ive been to 51 of the 103 listed.
I've attended 26. Racenut, that's a impressive #. With your knowledge of dirt lates, it doesn't surprise me.
I didn't see Bureau Co. on the list. I thought they raced there back in the day.
Princeton is on there^
Princeton 2006..... I basically quit traveling about 20 years ago.....I went to the first 19 on the list, a number of them before summernationals existed
Marshfield, WI flipped to pavement not too long after they hosted the SN race in the mid 90s. Track is still active as a paved track.
Hales Corners no longer exists. It is a Menards.
I love that track list. Too cool. Another one of my faves:
All time Summernat’s Wins.
1) Shannon Babb - 101
2) Billy Moyer - 100
3) Bobby Pierce Jr - 49
4) Brian Shirley - 41
5) Don O’Neal - 39
6) Scott Bloomquist - 28
7) Brandon Sheppard - 27
8) Jason Feger - 26
9) Dennis Erb Jr - 25
10) Rick Auckland - 23
I've had the privilege of racing at 35 on the list (not necessarily for a SN race), of which 8 are no longer in action. There's at least a couple more in Illinois I'd like to get to before all is said and done. A great part of the country to be in for dirt track racing!
Thanks for starting a "look back" thread, HDF. And for giving props to Dan the Race Nut. Amazing statistics. Great comments by everyone and many great memories.
No problem. I use to look at the Midwest Dirt Track Facts website quite bit because it also had current and previous UMP Summer Nationals results and Dan had a page list of Late Model, Sprint Car, & Modified drivers that had websites. I’d go see where drivers decided to race each weekend.Quote:
