North Carolina Short Track Coalition

09/29/2026

As the 2026 racing season begins to wind down, the message and mission behind the North Carolina Short Track Coalition have never felt more important to ensure our growth and in some cases our survival!

“The North Carolina Short Track Coalition was founded to facilitate growth, promotion, and strategic cooperation between asphalt oval race tracks across our state.”

We truly believe it is imperative that we come together, communicate, and work collectively for the betterment of local short track racing across North Carolina and our region. There is strength in working together, and I believe the future of our sport depends on all of us being willing to share ideas, experiences, and solutions.

Last meeting we had 9 out of the 10 NC tracks were present. We hope that all 10 tracks will be in attendance this year. We also have some new ownership at a couple of tracks and look forward to meeting them and hearing new ideas.

Over the next week or so, I’ll be reaching out to all of the track owners and operators to discuss a date that works for everyone for our second meeting of the minds.

Thank you,
Charlie Hansen

Attention NCSTC Track Owners and Managers:

We will be announcing very soon, a date and time for our rescheduled winter Zoom meeting. Previously planned for 12/18/24, that date proved to be to close to the holidays for us to reasonably assemble our key members.

With many of our member tracks gearing-up for the start of the 2025 racing season in February, March, or April, please expect to have our Zoom meeting held very soon. In the interest of time and efficiency, we will plan for the meeting to last no more than an hour.

For this second meeting of NCSTC track owners and management, we should realistically plan to establish a Board of Directors, a unified team/driver/crew member, fine/penalty/suspension guideline to be enforced and honored by all NCSTC tracks, and possibly a marketing package to include all 10 North Carolina Short Track Coalition members.

As a reminder to those in and outside of the grassroots short track racing community, the North Carolina Short Track Coalition is a work in progress that will take time and effort to develop and evolve.

The NCSTC does not intend to discuss individual track schedules as everyone involved has a business plan that they have developed and that works best for their track.

The principals involved in our inaugural meeting last November, know what our focus is going forward. We encourage those of you interested in NCSTC developments to follow us here on our official page and refrain in speculation, gossip, and the usual
cynicism that is so problematic in our sport.

We'll see you when the 🏁 waves!
