"The six tracks we selected came from a list of 42 fantastic venues, all who had real interest in hosting an SRX race this summer," read a statement by SRX CEO Don Hawk. "When selecting the schedule, we prioritized historic tracks that have had success hosting big-time events."
SRX held its inaugural season in 2021, pitting legendary drivers from across NASCAR, IndyCar and other racing disciplines against each other on some of America's most iconic short tracks.
Marco Andretti was the 2022 champion in a season that saw Helio Castroneves, Tony Stewart, Ryan Newman, Bobby Labonte and Chase Elliott all win races.
