The speedway is a 1/2 mile banked smooth clay oval with speeds reaching in excess of 100 mph. The 2020 racing season runs from March 15th to October 3rd. Our largest show, the World of Outlaws National Open will pay $65,000 to the winner plus over $150,000 in prize money. Season admission prices range from $15 to $45, discounted youth (Ages 13-20) $10-$20 and Kids 12 and under are always FREE. Special sanctioned race events include the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars, World of Outlaws Late Models, United States Auto Club, All-Star Circuit of Champions, United Racing Club, PASS and ASCS among others. Other racing divisions appearing throughout the season include 358 sprint cars, 360 sprint cars and super late models. We strive to be a family oriented facility by hosting School’s Out Night, the Math Fact Challenge, Fan Appreciation Night and by supporting many local and national charities.
