The schedule features a wide variety of action, ranging from 900-horspeower sprint cars to the breath-taking thrills of Freestyle Motocross.

The sprint cars of the United States Auto Club are on the schedule and the late model stock cars of the O'Reilly Southern All-Star Racing Series make three appearances.

The New York-based DIRT modifieds, Monster Trucks and the Grassroots Nationals, a major event for local racers, are also part of the annual schedule.

Several of the races at The Dirt Track are run in conjunction with events at Lowe's Motor Speedway, making for a action-filled day of motorsports.

Jimmy Weller III, injured in a USAC sprint car event at The Dirt Track @ Lowe’s Motor Speedway on Wednesday night, Oct. 13, has been moved from Carolinas Medical Center to the Charlotte Institute of Rehabilitation and has begun physical therapy.

Weller, 18, of Liberty, Ohio, suffered severe head trauma in the accident along with two cracked vertebrae which required surgery.

Weller’s father reports his son’s condition continues to improve and family members are encouraged by the early results of the physical therapy. After being heavily sedated for several weeks, Weller is now able to sit up and converse.
