A preview of what to watch on streaming services.

What a time to have internet and be a race fan. We are currently starting the official “High Season” of short track racing. For instance, if you are a Winged 410 Sprint Car fan, there are 10 consecutive nights of Races being shown either FloRacing or DirtVision, the 2 major players of Auto Racing apps. Throw in Midget Speedweek, a 100,000 to win Super Dirt Late Model Race. An Open Competition Tour Type Modified Race, a USAC Wingless Sprint Car Eastern Storm, and a TON of Weekly Racing Series Nights from local speedways across the country……it’s HEAVEN.
It all starts tonight(Friday June 7th). FloRacing has the 2nd Preliminary night of racing towards the Eldora Dream, a $100,000 to win Super Late Model race slated for Saturday Night. They had almost 50 cars in Competition last night, and a different group will take their turn tonight. Racing at Eldora is slated to start tonight at 6pm.
Also on Flo tonight is the 1st of 2 nights of Kubota High Limit Series 410s at I-70. Tonight pays 10k to win, and tomorrow is 26k to win. As many of you will agree, the Races on the High Limit Series this year have been some of the best Competition anywhere. Racing at I-70 is slated to start at 715pm.
USAC Indiana Midget week continues tonight at Bloomington. The last 2 nights of racing have featured several lead swaps, with Ryan Timms and Emerson Axsom bringing home the wins. 630pm is the scheduled start time at Bloomington.
