Legends car racing is a “spec” series in which all cars are mechanically identical and are designed primarily to promote exciting racing and lower costs. The bodies are 5/8-scale replicas of American automobiles from the 1930s and ‘40s that are powered by 140-horsepower Yamaha motorcycle engines. Legends cars weigh 1,300 pounds, are 10½ feet in length and cost approximately $12,000.
Texas Motor Speedway’s Summer Stampede program will continue Thursday evening with its regular racing activity. For more information and season standings on the Texas Motor Speedway’s Thursday Night Summer Stampede program, please visit
