The Pinty’s U.S. Short Track Nationals returns to Bristol Motor Speedway on Saturday, September 26, as some of the top drivers in short track racing will attempt to tame The Last Great Colosseum. Fans unable to attend the event will once again be able to watch live on Speed51.TV via a pay-per-view broadcast for $19.99.
Live video tickets will be available for purchase soon on the all-new Speed51.TV.
This year’s Pinty's U.S. Short Track Nationals presented by Vore’s Welding & Steel features four classes of racing, headlined by the Super Late Models. With the Super Late Model division tri-sanctioned by the ARCA/CRA Super Series, CARS Super Late Model Tour and Southern Super Series, it promises to draw some of the top Super Late Model racers from around the United States and live up to the “U.S. Short Track Nationals” billing.
The Pinty’s U.S. Short Track Nationals will also include the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Pro Late Models, the CRA Street Stocks and the Vores Compact Touring Series. There are 360 laps of racing scheduled for Saturday, September 26 around Bristol’s famed high-banked half-mile oval, culminating in the 100-lap Super Late Model main event.
Last year’s event delivered on the hype in the Super Late Model race, as Stephen Nasse rallied to pass Casey Roderick in the closing laps for the win and added his name to the impressive list of past winners that includes Bubba Wallace and Raphael Lessard.
