A history making โDebutโ, is ready for its blockbuster short track sequel! The event will serve as the highly anticipated spring follow-up to one of the most talked about race weekends of 2025.

The weekend lineup also features a strong undercard with UMP Modifieds and Sport Mods, ensuring two huge nights of grassroots racing excitement from start to finish. With high car counts once again expected, fans can fill the hill to witness plenty of side by side racing, this time for two action packed and more time friendly days of racing.
โThe Grassroots Race Revival is all about continuing to support area racers who are the heartbeat of our sport,โ said Mike Hurley, promoter of West Virginia Motor Speedway. โThe response to our Short Track Debut was incredible, and we want to build on that success by giving both racers and fans another reason to come together and celebrate what makes dirt track racing so special. This two day spring event is a thank you to the grassroots community, a chance to kick off the 2026 season in a big way and keep the momentum rolling into an exciting year ahead.โ
This is more than just an event, itโs a celebration of racers, families, and the local racing culture that keeps the sport alive across the Ohio Valley and beyond. Full event details including purses, class rules, advance ticketing, and camping information will be released later this fall.
