The SRX Series<\/a> is in its third season and first as Thursday Night Thunder. There's been plenty of on-track thunder in the first two races of the 2023 campaign, as aggressive driving has become the norm. The third race of the year was much like the first two, including wrecked cars and hot tempers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ken Schrader<\/a> ended his night early in a multi-car crash late in the main event and didn't sugarcoat what he thought about the person who caused it moments later, threatening to quit if that driver was allowed to continue racing. After the race, series owner and driver Tony Stewart<\/a> agreed that changes need to be made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aggressive driving in season three of the SRX Series started in Heat 1 of the first race this year at Stafford. Halfway through the heat, Ken Schrader summed it up best: “Man, everybody is just hitting everybody so far.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And they were just getting started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schrader got an up close and personal experience with the increased aggression levels in Heat 2 with eight laps to go when Paul Tracy sent him for a spin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward a week later to the second race at Stafford, and the roles were reversed. With 13 laps to go in Heat 2, Tracy tried to make it three-wide, and Schrader wasn't having any of it, getting into the left rear of the No. 3 car, sending it for a spin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
