The United States Racing Association (USRA) was formed in 2002 with a mission of (1) fostering a robust level of participation by competitors wanting smart, cost-effective rules that do not hinder creativity but allow for close competition, (2) increased fan attendance at USRA-sanctioned racetracks and (3) increased marketing and sponsorship dollars for each USRA-sanctioned racetrack.

The USRA serves as a marketing partner with the bottom line of our sanctioned racetracks at interest, as well as the safety and financial stability of USRA competitors. We oare committed to maintaining guidelines to make racing affordable and fun for all racers, without sacrificing exciting and competitive racing action for fans. The USRA is committed to providing a combination of cost-effective rules for competitors in weekly auto racing and effective marketing strategies to assist in the growth and popularity of the tracks at which they compete.

Made in the USA, the American Racer KK704 is the Official Tire of the USRA and a time-tested high-quality product proven to maintain a level playing field among competitors and reign in costs to the drivers as well. Our association with American Race Tires not only benefits USRA sanctioned racetracks from a strategic standpoint, but also benefits USRA drivers where they need it most: their bank account.

What's more, track managers and drivers using the American Racer tire will actually see a return on their investment. Through the support of dozens of national, regional and local sponsors, the USRA is able to provide track, regional and national points funds that are second to none in dirt track racing.

The USRA currently sanctions eight divisions at some of the finest speedways in America: USRA Modifieds, Medieval USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods, USRA Hobby Stocks, USRA Late Models, USRA Tuners, USRA Limited Mods and Sunoco USRA Factory Stocks.

Thousands of racers compete in the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series each year as they vie for some of the best weekly purses and highest points funds in their divisions and at some of the finest dirt track facilities across the fruited plain.

For over 40 years, Summit Racing Equipment has set and reset the standard for fast shipping, customer service and tech expertise. Since the beginning, they've followed a simple formula: Give customers the parts they want at a fair price, deliver those parts fast, and back them with the best customer service on the planet. For more information about the Official High Performance Source of the USRA, call 800-230-3030 or check out SummitRacing.com.

The 9th Annual Summit USRA Nationals happens Monday through Saturday, Oct. 3-8, at the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo. The biggest event on dirt will kick off with an open practice on Monday, and then racing will take place every night from Tuesday through Saturday.

The Summit Shootout also returns this year and will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and feature USRA track champions and Summit Shootout qualifying race winners to compete in this one-of-a-kind blockbuster battle royale for Modified, Stock Car, B-Mod and Hobby Stock competitors.
