The Short Track SuperNationals returns to Afton Motorsports Park, its birthplace, from 2025 through a three-year agreement between promoter Ron Ford and the Afton Fair Board.

The non-points event will take place October 10-11, with STSS Sportsman headlining Friday and STSS Modifieds leading Saturday's 16th annual event. The facility, located off Interstate 88 Exit 7, will feature Saturday night racing on American Racer tires.
