The USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship stages rounds Oct. 16 at Dodge City Raceway Park in Dodge City, Kansas, and Oct. 17 at Route 66 Motor Speedway in Amarillo, Texas. Both venues are 3/8-mile dirt ovals and each will run a 30-lap A-feature limited to 24 starters; the A-feature winners at both stops will receive 70 points toward the national title. Drivers must be USAC members to earn championship points or contingency awards, and the mandatory driver radio frequency for both events is 464.5500.

Event-day operations differ by venue: at Dodge City, pits open at 1:00 p.m. CT, grandstands at 4:00 p.m. CT, a drivers’ meeting is set for 5:30 p.m. CT, hot laps begin at 6:00 p.m. CT and racing follows. At Route 66, pits open at Noon CT, front gates open at 4:30 p.m. CT, a drivers’ meeting is scheduled for 5:15 p.m. CT, and hot laps begin at 6:00 p.m. CT. Both programs will use two-lap qualifying sessions (fastest lap counts) and 8-lap heat races; Dodge City will employ a top-six inversion for the 8-lap heats, while Route 66 will use heat and semi transfers to set lineups, run 12-lap semi-features and apply a six-car inversion to the lineup for the fastest qualifiers.

Purses and fees vary by stop: the Dodge City A-feature winner will be paid $6,000. At Route 66 the A-feature winner will receive $10,000, second place $3,500, and non-transferring drivers $200.

Both events will stream live on FloRacing, with live audio available via the USAC app and Mixlr; Dodge City will use MyRacePass and Race Monitor for timing and scoring, and Route 66 will post live updates on USAC’s Facebook and X pages. Race Director Kirk Spridgeon will oversee operations at the Dodge City event.
