Texarkana 67 Speedway
37th ANNUAL SHORT TRACK 410 NATIONALS
TEXARKANA, ARKANSAS. (September 20, 2024) – We are just 7 short weeks away from 67 Speedway of Texarkana's 37th Annual Short Track 410 Sprint Car Nationals presented by D1 Landscape, MPV Express, Riggs Rents of Texarkana, KNP Painting, Chreyton Electric, Broach Refrigeration, Hoosier Racing Tires and Flo Racing.
What would have been the first STN in 2023 at 67 Speedway of Texarkana, was a total washout. Promoter Tim Crawley stated that a lot of work has been completed in our pits and parking lot in hopes to withstand some rain, but not the amounts received last year. We need mother nature on our side this year, Crawley stated.
Drivers that enter before October 25th, will receive a weekend pit pass with their $100 entry fee. After that date, the entry is $150 and will not include a pit pass.
