The speedway is a 1/2 mile banked smooth clay oval with speeds reaching in excess of 100 mph. The 2019 racing season runs from March 17th to October 5th. Our largest show, the World of Outlaws National Open will pay $56,000 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, 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, super sportsman and limited late models. We strive to be a family oriented facility by hosting School’s Out Night, the Math Fact Challenge and supporting many local and national charities.
