Stewart, Evernham Recreating IROC as Short-Track Series

Former stock car racer Tony Stewart is teaming up with NASCAR Hall of Famer Ray Evernham to recreate the IROC Series as a six-race, short-track series, the Associated Press has reported.

Called ‘The Superstar Racing Experience,’ the field will be filled with 12 drivers from several disciplines, including NASCAR, IndyCar and up-and-coming short track racers.

Evernham will prepare the cars, the design of which has yet to be finalized. Speeds aren’t expected to exceed 150 mph on half-mile tracks.
