A Look Ahead:
Things to look out for
heading deeper into 2025

Had weather played nice with us, we would already be 5 races and 7 events through our 2025 calendar at Kingsport Speedway. But it's only May, and we're just getting started! Today we're looking down the road at races and events that you can't afford to miss at the Concrete Jungle! From major NAAPWS action, to absolute mayhem, this article is meant to be your guide, your schedule clearer, let's get into it!!!

Omnia Roofing Race Night - Friday, May 9th

As previously mentioned, April showers have definitely lived up to the name in the Tri Cities. As our first 2 events to look out for are races that have been postponed due to weather. The first one up is the one that we tried to run just a week ago as of writing this. Omnia Roofing Race Night. A strong line of thunderstorms took us by surprise on May 2nd. Freezing the race night as is until this coming Friday, May 9th. The action will resume with RCR LMSC twin 1 starting at lap 1, and going through the race day schedule. A schedule that sees the beginning of the 2025 story take shape. In Late Models; it's dominance vs. consistency as Brad Housewright and Zeke Shell fight for the points lead. Super Street points are tied between Austin Walters and Marty Tunnell. And so much more!!!! Crown Vics will be added to the end of the card despite them being the only official race from May 2nd; as they have another race to make up from April 25th. Also, a May 2nd ticket or armband gets you free pit or grandstand entry for May 9th ONLY. It's gonna be an incredible night, and it's only a few days away. Be there!!!

Lyon Metal Roofing Night - To Be Rescheduled At A Later Date

The 2nd of two races that have been put on the backburner. Lyon Metal Roofing Night was called the Thursday Morning prior to the green flag and never got off the ground. The JB Autoworks Crown Vics will make up their feature from this race on Friday, May 9th. However, that leaves six divisions and 7 (or more) races to still account for. Lyon Metal Roofing Night is set to be rescheduled at a later date. Most likely, if weather doesn't interfere with any other events, Friday, July 25th. Don't worry, the wait will be worth it. Pushing this race later in the schedule only means the championship window gets tighter. And moves from the Kingsport Speedway field get more desperate.
