DRUMRIGHT, Okla. (February 11, 2024) - Switching gears after the NOW600 Wild Card Series opener in Ocala, Florida last week, the Dirt2Media National Open Wheel 600 Series opens the 2024 National Championship points season this weekend.
Grayson County Speedway in Bells, Texas will host the touring titans on Friday and Saturday.
Playing host to two other National touring events in series history, the last time the NOW600 National Series graced the clay was on September 28, 2019 which featured Frank Flud doubling up on feature wins and Ryder Laplante topping the Restricted class.
Stock Non-Wing, Winged A-Class and Restricted will headline the event with IMCA STARS Mod Lites and Dwarf Cars.
Thursday night will serve as a practice night for teams to tune up for the weekend with complete racing programs taking place. There will be no lock-ins from Friday to Saturday, however, if a driver fails to compete on Friday the best they will be allowed to start will be outside of the invert on Saturday.
Ryder McCutcheon is the reigning National Stock Non-Wing champion, Brant Woods was the 2023 Winged A-Class champion and Cale Lagroon was the Restricted champion.
