TEXARKANA, Ark. — Mother Nature claimed the victory during Friday night’s Wingless Short Track Nationals opener at Arkansas’ Texarkana 67 Speedway.
Just as the first USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship heat race was lining up, persistent heavy rain came and washed away the remainder of the evening’s racing activity.
Before the rain arrived, Brady Bacon set a one-lap USAC track record at the Texarkana quarter-mile dirt oval. His time of 14.110 seconds in his Dynamics, Inc./Davis Brothers Trucking – Tel-Star Communications/Triple X/Rider Chevy broke the previous record of 14.311, set by Jake Swanson in 2023.
The second and final night of the Wingless Short Track Nationals gets underway at Texarkana 67 Speedway on Saturday, September 7.
A full racing program will be held for the USAC National Sprint Cars featuring qualifying, heat races, a semi-feature and concludes with a 30-lap feature event paying $10,000-to-win.
