The drivers for the inaugural SRX season included Tony Stewart, Bobby Labonte, Hélio Castroneves, Ernie Francis Jr., Paul Tracy, Bill Elliott, Willy T. In addition to those running the full schedule, the series provides a ' Rocky Balboa' car for a local champion at each track and a 'ringer' entry for notable drivers making cameo appearances.

The series' lineup is made up of younger up and coming drivers looking for exposure in addition to the older and retired drivers. A driver's car retains its color for the full season for easy identification. ĭrivers receive their cars before each race via random draw. The cars use naturally aspirated Ilmor V8 396 cui engines, which are primarily featured in the ARCA Menards Series, with components from Edelbrock, while brakes are provided by Performance Friction Corporation (PFC). Fury Race Cars serves as the cars' chassis designer and builder. Teaser photos of the car showed it has a high rear spoiler and is said to have high horsepower and low downforce. SRX cars were completely designed by founder Ray Evernham and were in concept stage when the series was founded in July 2020. Founder Tony Stewart compared it to IROC by comparing the aspects of identical cars and an all-star cast of drivers.

SRX draws direct contrast from NASCAR when aiming for shorter races at shorter tracks, and also with the random pairing of driver and crew chief for each race. On March 30, Evernham announced via Twitter that he was no longer in charge of SRX, but has kept his role as an investor of the sport. On January 20, 2022, Don Hawk was named CEO of SRX. Ĭamping World acquired the naming rights to the series on June 1, 2021, dubbing it the Camping World SRX Series. Initially, series management was split between New York City and Charlotte, North Carolina. The series' founders included former NASCAR driver and current team owner Tony Stewart, former NASCAR team owner and crew chief Ray Evernham as well as former NASCAR executive George Pyne and sports agent Sandy Montag. On July 13, 2020, it was reported that SRX was in preparation for a 2021 debut season.
