It's a massive start to the season for Slinger Super Speedway Saturday.

Ahead of the big race, here are 10 Things to Know about this year at Slinger. - 2022 will mark 75 years of racing at Slinger Super Speedway. The track opened in 1948 and races were held on the clay surface until 1973. - The race is a unique format for the 34 drivers who have pre-entered for the season opening.
