It also concludes a crucial three weekend of stretch of competition for the ASCS National Tour that also includes the Inaugural Cowtown Sprint Nationals in Kennedale, TX, on October 10-11 and then the 35th Annual Devil's Bowl Winter Nationals in Mesquite, TX, on October 17-18. Last year's edition of the Short Track Nationals attracted a record number of 108 competitors from throughout the nation and beyond, with California's Jason Meyers making a dramatic last-lap pass of Shane Stewart to become the 14th different winner of the prestigious event. Meyers joined a prestigious list of Short Track Nationals champions, which includes Gary Wright, the only driver to win the STN on more than one occasion since the event became the nation's premier showcase in 1993. Wright scored his first STN victory in 1995, then followed up with a second win in 1999. "The Texan" extended his total of STN triumphs to four with back-to-back victory drives in 2003 and 2004. Other past winners include Jason Johnson (2006), Tim Montgomery (2005), Paul McMahan (2002), Jason Sides (2001), Mike Ward (2000), Tim Crawley (1998), Wayne Johnson (1997), Pete Butler (1996), Terry Gray (1994) and John Gerloff (1993). Steve Kinser (1988, ’89 and ’91) and Sammy Swindell (1990) claimed early renditions of the Short Track Nationals before the 1992 finale was rained out.
