The Short Track National Championship is a one-race event. In one night of racing, the winner takes home the Short Track National Champion Title.

The 1/2-mile oval at Wayne County Speedway provided for an excellent race venue. Though the track conditions were dry and the weather hot and humid, a good soaking from an 2 hour rain shower helped to make the clay track tacky and cooled down the temps. The tracks soft clay allowed the high-powered quads to put all their power to the ground making for some exciting holeshots and racing action.

Flat-track racing is for the high speed adrenaline junky who cant get enough of going into a corner WOT, sliding the backend out, getting back on the gas coming out of the corner, and then becoming one with their quad by tucking down to make less wind resistance as they haul down the straight a ways.

Shane Hitt was the reigning 2000 Short-Track National Champion and was ready to defend his title. Shane won his heat races and easily walked away from his closest competitors in the main event. Nathan Dallas captured second while Darin Ogden wrapped up the third podium position.
