OCS Shines Bright at 2023 Opener

WHAT A NIGHT!

America's Fastest 3/8 Mile kicked off the 2023 season in grand fashion on Saturday, April 29th with one of the best opening nights at OCS in recent memory.

We had a packed infield with great car counts across all of our weekly divisions, highlighted by the nearly 20 entries in both the Late Model and Choice Automotive Charger fields, as well as visits from the always exciting Carolina Pro Late Model and Carolina Crate Modified Series. Not to be outdone, our amazing fans turned out in droves to catch all of the exciting action on a beautiful spring evening in Rougemont.

We are thankful for each and every competitor, fan, and staff member that made this night possible and we look forward to building on this great start throughout the rest of the season. There are a lot of improvements in the works at OCS that we hope will improve the fan and racer experience and we appreciate everyone's patience as we work to get everything put in place.

We would also like to thank Billy and Joshua Weatherman from Short Track Report for their awesome coverage of our season opener and for their continued support of OCS! You can read their full feature article recapping Saturday night's events here:
