63rd Annual National Open – Night 1 | Williams Grove Speedway (PA)
The Outlaws vs. the Posse kicks off the 63rd J&S Classics National Open weekend tonight. A 25-lap preliminary paying $12,000-to-win sets the stage for Saturday’s $75,000 finale. Nearly 60 cars are entered, with David Gravel, Carson Macedo, Buddy Kofoid headline for the Outlaws; Lance Dewease, Troy Wagaman Jr., Danny Dietrich, and Freddie Rahmer anchor the Posse challenge while a slew of outside invaders including many High Limit stars and Knoxville Nationals champion Ryan Timms will look to play true spoiler!

USAC National Sprint Cars – 55th Tony Hulman Classic | Terre Haute Action Track (IN)
The longest-running event on the USAC National Sprint Car calendar returns tonight with the 55th Tony Hulman Classic. A $10,000 payday and the iconic prize rifle are up for grabs in the 30-lap feature. Kyle Cummins, twice a runner up in the Hulman, leads the championship chase into western Indiana but is still searching for USAC career win number one at the Action Track. Mitchell Moles, Justin Grant, and rookie sensation Briggs Danner all roll in with momentum of their own, defending champion Logan Seavey won here with the Silver Crown series earlier this year, and Robert Ballou will look to become the first 4-time winner. You'll find the Hulman Classic, along with every USAC National event live on FloRacing.
