WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 26, 2022) - Lucas Oil Speedway will take the upcoming weekend off, but the biggest event in the history of the speedway is just one week away from firing up.
The 9th annual Summit USRA Nationals, featuring action in eight different divisions under the United States Racing Association banner, begins a marathon six-night run on Monday with a practice night.
Entries from all over the country have been pouring in as the event is held at Lucas Oil Speedway for the second time, expanding from three nights in 2021 when more than 300 cars participated. So far, 248 drivers have submitted pre-entries with the total expected to climb above last year's total by next week.
Action begins with a practice night open to drivers from all eight divisions on Oct. 3 from 6-10 p.m. Racing in some, but not all of the classes, will begin the following night and go through the big finale on the final night.
The Summit Shootout also returns this year and will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and feature USRA track champions and Summit Shootout qualifying race winners to compete in this one-of-a-kind battle for Modified, Stock Car, B-Mod and Hobby Stock competitors.
Drivers who have not yet entered can register online at MyRacePass for the 2022 event. Visit USRAracing.com for news stories, point standings and other archived information about the USRA.
