SRX Closes Its Doors, Co-Founder Tony Stewart's All-Star Series Will Not Race in 2024

Will the Superstar Racing Experience’s loss suddenly be the gain for the returning IROC series?

In a surprising turn of events, SRX announced late Thursday afternoon that it will be postponing its fourth season, which was due to run for six weeks starting this July.

The suburban Charlotte, N.C.-based organization issued a statement that, in part said,

“It is with deep disappointment that we announce the postponement of SRX’s fourth season. We entered the next phase of our racing series with great anticipation and excitement for what was ahead. Our expectations, however, have been tempered by market factors that have proven to be too much to overcome. Time has run out to put forth the kind of events our fans, partners, drivers and tracks deserve.”

The series, which has raced for six consecutive weeks mid-summer for each of the last three years, did not say it was completely shutting down or going out of business, leaving the door open with the following comment:

“We are actively exploring strategic options for the series’ long-term potential. We made the announcement now to allow our partners the time and flexibility to best serve their interests.”
