We’re getting ahead of the issues we’ve been battling this spring, and we’re excited to announce that we’ll be holding a Test & Tune night this week! 6/5/26

If you're looking to shake down your car before race night or want to be among the first to try out the new track layout, we encourage you to come out. We want to get cars on the track and gather feedback as we continue preparing for a great season of racing.

Last fall, we took a chance and invested a tremendous amount of effort into reshaping the track. Thousands of tons of material were moved to help flatten the racing surface, widen the track, and improve overall racing conditions. The drainage system was relocated, allowing us to move the racing surface closer to the light poles, creating a wider and slightly shorter track. The result should provide more racing room than ever before and create exciting side-by-side racing throughout the field.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans this spring. Between April and May, we received nearly 8 inches of rain while temperatures remained unusually cool, preventing the track from drying and hardening properly. We have burned hundreds of gallons of diesel fuel and spent countless hours working to get the surface into racing condition.

We sincerely appreciate everyone's patience and support as we worked through these challenges. We believe the hard work will pay off, and we're excited for everyone to see the improvements.

Fans are encouraged to come check out the new layout this week. General admission is FREE.
Practice runs from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM. Pit admission is $25. Limited concessions will be available.

As we move forward, our schedule may be adjusted throughout the season to accommodate events that have been affected by the weather. Please continue to watch our weekly updates for the latest information.

Thank you again for your patience and support. We look forward to seeing the cars on track this week and kicking off a great racing season.

We know everyone has been looking forward to getting back to racing, and we are finally welcoming some sunshine as the forecast continues to improve. Unfortunately, after being under water since April, a lot of drying is still required.

The combination of rain and ongoing track work has left the surface extremely soft and unsafe for racing at this time, so Friday’s racing program has been canceled.

We are hopeful to hold an open practice Friday in place of racing if track conditions allow. We will provide an update Friday afternoon.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Friday May 22nd is canceled. Although the track is getting better, we are still suffering from soft wet conditions. The new construction and 5 inches of rain we got in April has really made things tough.

Unfortunately to avoid torn up cars, we can only wait this out. Crews have been working hard and hope to be back racing soon!

05/14/2026

Once again we are forced to cancel. Track and parking conditions are too soft to safely hold any events. Hoping for some better weather.

05/12/2026

Friday's racing has been changed to practice 7:30-9:30. We are still dealing with saturated grounds and attempting to get the track into shape. The parking is a swamp. Anyone coming to watch general admission must use caution parking or you will get stuck.
Pit admission $25, general admission free.

05/06/2026

This Friday 5/8 has been canceled. Continued wet conditions forces us again!

04/29/2026

Friday May 1st has been canceled due to continued wet conditions.
