Superstar Racing Experience


Superstar Racing Experience is an upcoming racing series founded by Tony Stewart, Ray Evernham, Sandy Montag and George Pyne. The formation of the series was announced on July 13, 2020, in advance of a planned 2021 debut and corresponding television contract with CBS Sports.

History

On July 13, 2020, it was reported that SRX was in preparation for a 2021 debut season. The series' founders included former NASCAR team owners Tony Stewart and 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.

Championship

SRX is said to be aiming for a six-race debut season. It drew direct contrast from NASCAR when aiming for shorter races at shorter tracks, and also with the random pairing of driver and crew chief for each race. Founder Tony Stewart compared it to IROC by comparing the aspects of identical cars and an all-star cast of drivers.

Cars

SRX cars will be completely designed by founder Ray Evernham and were in concept stage when the series was founded in July 2020.

Drivers

Founder Tony Stewart was announced as the first of 12 SRX drivers for its inaugural season. Tony Kanaan was the second driver announced to drive, confirming so on July 22, 2020. On July 29, 2020, it was announced that Paul Tracy would join the series.

Media

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