The last two seasons of Tony Stewart’s racing series have garnered applause from the NASCAR insiders for its diverse category. Owing to this unprecedented success, the Cup Series champion is set to lift the curtains for its fourth season, gradually unveiling the tracks that the drivers are set to brace in the upcoming season. In a recent official announcement made by the authorities of SRX Racing on Instagram, a race at the iconic Slinger Speedway is confirmed for July 25th, 2024.

The post read, “You’ve asked and we listened. SRX and Thursday Night Thunder will return to Slinger Speedway on July 25th, 2024!”
