The SRX series of all-star racing returns to ESPN with the relaunch of “Thursday Night Thunder,” the program that helped make drivers such as Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon famous. Stewart was a regular on the program in the 1990s, when he was running midgets and Silver Crown cars on Indiana short tracks. Now, the former NASCAR star is part-owner of the SRX series, which brings together stars from various racing series to drive spec cars. Its six-race third season begins at Stafford Motor Speedway in Connecticut, where tickets sold out several weeks ago. Marco Andretti is the defending champion.
