    Default SRX Series

    Holy Cow! I don't know how I missed the boat on this one! I had no idea this was in the works. I don't know about anybody else, but I think it's going to be freaking awesome! I'm not a huge fan of the rear wing but the cars don't look half bad. And the fact that they're going to be running dirt and asphalt, well that's just fantastic. I hope they get several drivers who are still "relevant", I hate to use that term, but if it's a bunch of retired guys people will look at it as a place for washed up drivers to go.

    Would be great to see a mix of dirt and asphalt talent running the series? Can you imagine how interesting it would be to see Donny Schatz racing against Bubba Pollard on asphalt? Or Brandon Overton racing against Paul Tracey on dirt? I'm going full fanboy already on this thing.

    Been Following it since the original announcement.

    Drivers That Have Signed On To Race With The New Series So Far. Supposed to be like IROC was
    Tony Stewart - NASCAR Cup Series
    Tony Kanaan - IndyCar Series
    Paul Tracy - IndyCar Series
    Bobby Labonte - NASCAR Cup Series
    Hélio Castroneves - IndyCar Series
    Willy T. Ribbs - Trans-Am Series
    Mark Webber - Formula One
    Bill Elliott - NASCAR Cup Series

    Races will primarily be held on half-mile dirt and asphalt short tracks and may feature a road course on the schedule as well.

    Races are planned to last 90 minutes without pit stops, though there is also planned to be a "halftime" for adjustments to be made to the car.

    CBS Sports will air the 2021 six-race season in two-hour primetime Saturday night television windows.

    Ray Evernham came up with the idea and asked Tony Stewart if he wanted to be apart of it and that's how it all got started. Ray talked about in when he was on an episode of the Dale Jr. Download.

    SRX cars will be completely designed by founder Ray Evernham and were in concept stage when the series was founded in July 2020.[4] Teaser photos of the car show it has a high rear spoiler and is said to have high horsepower and low downforce. Fury Race Cars will serve as the cars' chassis designer and builder.

    On July 13, 2020, it was reported that SRX was in preparation for a 2021 debut season. The series' founders included former NASCAR driver and current team owner Tony Stewart, former NASCAR team owner and crew chief Ray Evernham as well as former NASCAR executive George Pyne and sports agent Sandy Montag. Initially, series management was split between New York City and Charlotte, North Carolina.

    Below is a picture of what the cars will look like.

    Sadly they haven’t announced any dirt drivers yet. Mostly retired guys from big leagues. I would really like to see someone different like Travis pastrana or even ken block added

    Would scheduling be a hang up for dirt racers? I know there aren't many off dates for touring late model drivers with the WoO and Lucas schedules and the big shows at Eldora.

    I would think absolutely that is why. How many dirt and/or asphalt current racers can take off 6 Saturdays during the summer? You would not be able to miss all the big money shows.

    this doesn't exactly look like a car that you can beat the body panels straight and go racing again real quick......is this sheet metal, carbon composite or what?

    Anyone know?
    Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

    I believe the bodies are supposed to be carbon fiber.

    They wouldn't IMO, just responding to why we haven't seen any dirt drivers named with the series yet.

    Whatever happens it's still going to be cool if they let them race a little and not call the check fouls....I'm watching.

    Red farmer needs to jump in.

    If you have paid attention, stew has lost a good bit of weight lately. Enough to pull down Leah Pruett.

    She is very attractive, and has a good demeanor about her. Seems cool as hell, as well as being kinda easy on the eyes.
    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.
