Season No. 33 For The
ASCS National Tour
Revealed!
Bryan Hulbert –
DRUMRIGHT, Okla.
(December 2, 2023) Gearing up for
the 33rd season of
competition, the
American Sprint Car
Series presented by
RacinDirt.com has set
out a 49-race lineup for
the 2024 season that
visits 34 tracks across
a dozen states.
A mix of familiar places
and new faces, the
series will also see its
footprint expanding back
out after consolidating
tighter into the
mid-west over the last
two seasons.
“It’s been interesting
doing the schedule for
2024 and being able put
events back into the
lineup that have been
absent, as well as
continue to add new
events,” stated series
owner Terry Mattox.
“It’s always a challenge
putting together a
lineup that makes
logistical and economic
sense for teams, but
going to 49 events at 34
tracks is a big
improvement and shows
the popularity of the
tour. This series has
always been a proving
ground for new and
veteran teams. We had a
great title fight for
2023, and I think 2024
is going to be even
better.”

visits into the state of
Arkansas, with another
potential stop still
