CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The car will definitely not be the star this summer in the Superstar Racing Experience, which has been formatted for drivers to showcase their skills using what series co-founder Ray Evernham calls "old-school tools."
The good old steering wheel, gas pedal and brake pedal.
"With this format, you not only have to be the fastest driver, but you've got to be the smartest driver too," said Tony Stewart, who co-founded SRX and will drive one of the cars this summer.
SRX disclosed the format it will use Thursday to The Associated Press when the all-star series launches this summer at Stafford Motor Speedway in Connecticut on June 12 for the first of six Saturday night short-track races across the country.
