Big Weekend of Racing Ahead in Nashville

Once again, an incredible night of racing awaits fans at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway when the Camping World SRX Series comes to town.

Along with the Superstar Racing Experience, Nashville plays host to the Masters of the Pros. The big money event routinely draws a stout field of Late Model competitors to take on Nashville’s local contingent, all battling for the prize of CRA’s green jacket.

Like one year ago, the Masters of the Pros 150 will be divided into two stages. The first stage will start at 5 p.m. local time, and will run for 100 laps or 70 minutes, whichever comes first. The event will be concluded following the SRX portion of the event.

For SRX, Saturday marks the final pavement race of the 2022 season before hitting the dirt at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 and Sharon Speedway.

Nashville fans will have a couple of familiar faces in Saturday’s SRX field. Nashville will be the first SRX race for Nashville native Josef Newgarden, enjoying an off weekend from the IndyCar Series with Team Penske. Two-time Nashville Fairgrounds track champion Cole Williams will also be in the field after winning a fan vote for the local ringer seat in the SRX field.

That won’t be all of the racing this weekend in the Music City. On Thursday, July 7, the Fairgrounds will host racing for its local divisions that compete on the quarter-mile bullring within the confines of the 5/8-mile speedway that will be used Saturday.

Bandoleros, Street Stocks, Front Runners, Pure Stocks, Legend Cars and Limited Late Models will hit the quarter-mile on Thursday, with racing beginning at 6:30 p.m. CT.
