City Growth Takes Its Toll On San Antonio Speedway



The United States Racing Association (USRA) is ending its operations in Texas – including its USRA touring series events and its track management operations at San Antonio Speedway (SAS) effective immediately.

Terry Dickerson and his wife Tammy founded the USRA in November 2004 and took over the management of the USRA Super Late Model Series (formerly known as the ROMCO Super Late Models) and San Antonio Speedway. The USRA Modifieds (formerly known as the Texas Asphalt Modifieds Series) and the USRA Trucks (formerly known as the American Race Track Series) were subsequently added to the USRA s management scope.

When the Dickersons formed the USRA Track Management Group, the company that manages the speedway for lease holder Ted Carlson, they had every intention of purchasing the half-mile, high-banked speedway and a good portion of the undeveloped land surrounding the facility. Several rigorous attempts were made to purchase the property over the past two years, but an agreement could not be reached between the current landowner and the Dickersons.
