SRX Racing Postpones 2024 Season Amid Market Concerns and IROC Revival
Tony Stewart's busy schedule and a significant drop in viewership after a network switch also contribute to the uncertainty surrounding the series' future.
- SRX Racing, co-owned by Tony Stewart, has announced the postponement of its 2024 season due to 'market factors', sparking speculation that the series may not return.
- The announcement comes just days after Ray Evernham, a founding father of SRX, announced his acquisition of the IROC brand, leading fans to speculate a connection between the two events.
- Despite a successful run in 2023, SRX saw a significant drop in viewership after switching from CBS to ESPN and moving from Saturday to Thursday nights.
- SRX, which was seen as a modern IROC, aimed to unite top names from various motorsports, including NASCAR and IndyCar, under one roof.
- Tony Stewart's busy schedule, including expanding his family and stepping in for his wife in NHRA’s top fuel dragster, is also seen as a potential factor in the SRX postponement.
