NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee’s premier summer motorsports tradition returns to the heart of Music City next Saturday night, June 27th, as Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway hosts the action-packed Stars, Stripes & Speed race night.
The special pre Independence Day celebration features a heavy-hitting lineup of short-track racing divisions, headlined by a grueling 100-lap main event on the historic 5/8-mile high banked asphalt oval for the Pro Late Models.
Defending Home Turf: Pro Late Model 100
The Pro Late Model 100, where local standout and Lebanon, Tennessee native Hunter Wright looks to anchor a deep field of Nashville regulars. Wright, fresh off an intense battle at the mid-season Rackley Roofing Battle of Broadway, returns to pilot his familiar No. 29 machine under the lights, seeking to capture a definitive hometown victory in front of a packed summer crowd. The 2026 Points battle continues to heat up between leader Jackson Boone and Brett Robinson, who is just 8 points behind after the half way point of the season.
The action on the historic 5/8-mile oval doesn’t stop there. The Street Stock division will also move to the big tracks for a high-intensity feature race, as Jamie Sites looks to continue his hot streak and visit victory lane once again.
