The History
- The COMP Cams Memphis Nationals was a mainstay at the now defunct dirt track at Memphis Motorsports Park for several years. For the 2010 season, COMP Cams brought the event back from the grave and reincarnated it at Riverside International Speedway. COMP Cams hopes to grow the event even bigger over the next few years. A trio of former COMP Cams Memphis Nationals champions will be on hand including Jon Mitchell, Jeff Floyd, and Jamie Elam.

- The Bartlett Hardwood Floor Service Midsouth Dirt Track Championship has seen three different winners in its first three years, and at least two of those winners will be on hand looking for a repeat including 2009 Champion, Jamie Dacus from Lakeland, Tennessee and 2007 Champion, Kyle Beard from Trumann, Arkansas.

- The COMP Cams Memphis Street Stock Nationals has taken the place of the Grass Root Nationals. Former Champions include Jeremy Dalton (2007), Terry Grey (2008), and defending Champion, Greg Alexander (2009). A pair of qualifiers for the event were held earlier this year, and Justin Glover and Greg Alexander picked up the wins to guarantee themselves a provisional starting spot in the main event.

The Midway
- Pits will be open until approximately 4pm to allow all fans to come out early and check out the cars and stars of the event.

- Many of the drivers will have apparel available at their trailers, and inside the East side gate, Bub McCool Motorsports and Billy Moyer Motorsports will have their souvenir trailers set up.
