Due to extremely high interest within the short track racing community, Bristol Motor Speedway officials announced today that each of the six categories scheduled to compete in the inaugural Short Track U.S. Nationals presented by Vore's Welding, May 19-21, will be capped with a max number of participants.

The highly-anticipated signature event will showcase the world's best short track racers competing for the first time on the high-banks of the World's Fastest Half-Mile, one of the most famous short tracks in the world.

More than 500 race cars split among the six classes will be in competition during the three-day event, with the participation limits set at 80 entries each for Super Late Model, Pro/Crate Late Model and Modified, 60 for Late Model Stock and 110 each for Street Stock and Compact.

"The response from the short track racing community has been impressive for the inaugural Short Track U.S. Nationals," said Jerry Caldwell, executive vice president and general manager, Bristol Motor Speedway. "At Bristol we always strive to exceed expectations and with that in mind, we feel like keeping each class at a manageable number of participants will ensure a quality experience for the competitors and fans and give our competition staff the appropriate amount of time to run all six categories."

All entries for the event need to be submitted to the respective sanctioning body by the deadline date of March 24, and entry lists will be published on March 27.
