Buckle up as the Cook Out Summer Shootout returns to America’s Home for Racing for its 32nd thrilling season. This summer tradition is back and more jam-packed than ever, delivering high-speed racing, outrageous theme nights and interactive family fun every week for two straight months.

Each week, watch as more than 175 of the nation’s top grassroots racers hit the famed Charlotte Motor Speedway quarter-mile, putting on an adrenaline-pumping show under the lights. From bumper-to-bumper battles on the track to games, giveaways and surprises in the stands, every night offers something new for fans of all ages. 

From rising young talents chasing their racing dreams to appearances from motorsports stars like Bubba Wallace, Shane van Gisbergen and Scott McLaughlin and more, this summer’s action on the frontstretch quarter-mile is shaping up to be unforgettable.

The season’s green flag drops with a doubleheader on Monday, June 9, and Tuesday, June 10. Kick off the season right on Monday with the Cook Out Kickoff, presented by Cook Out. Swing by your nearest Cook Out, grab a fancy milkshake or a giant tea, and bring your cup to the gate for FREE admission to a full-throttle night of racing fun.

Then don’t miss Tuesday’s Media Mayhem, presented by DSM Luxury Motorsports, where local media personalities trade their microphones for helmets in a high-stakes school bus slobberknocker. 

Whether it’s dressing up in your best cowboy hat or watching fireworks burst over the track, each night brings a one-of-a-kind experience. 

Fans unable to attend the Summer Shootout in person will be able to watch all 10 rounds of racing live on FloRacing. If you're not already a FloRacing subscriber, click here to sign up today.
