(Eastaboga, AL – February 11, 2026) — The 2026 racing season at Hattiesburg Speedway kicks off in thrilling fashion on Friday and Saturday, February 27–28, as the USCS United Sprint Car Series Outlaw Thunder Tour storms into South Mississippi for the annual Unleash the Wings season-opening weekend.
Joining the winged sprint cars will be the Crate Racin’ USA Street Stocks, who will compete both nights with two complete racing programs, each paying $500 to win.
