Weather Shuffles Diamond Schedule, Creates Northwoods Speedweek!

Hibbing, MN 5/13/26 by DarinShort.com. A very wet and cool start to springtime in the arrowhead region of northeastern Minnesota is delaying the start of the PIRTEK Diamond Sprint Car Series resulting in a reshuffle of the schedule.

The Diamond portion of the Memorial Day events scheduled at The Grand Rapids Speedway and Hibbing Speedway have been moved to this summer – when more suitable weather and predictable track conditions should prevail.

The biproduct of this change has also created something new: The PIRTEK Diamond Sprint Car Series Northwoods Speedweek!

The Hibbing Speedway date has been moved to Wednesday, August 5th, while The Grand Rapids Speedway event will be held Thursday, August 6th.

Those two events now piggyback existing Gondik Law Speedway (August 7th) and ABC Raceway (August 8th) dates, thus creating the Diamond Sprint Car Series Northwoods Speedweek!

All four events will consist of the winged division of the Diamond Sprint Car Series, while the accompanying nonwinged (traditional) division will be Upper Midwest Sprintcar Series (UMSS) Renegades series.

The Diamond Sprint Car Series features some of the best sprint car teams in the upper Midwest, and they will be competing in complete racing programs of heat races and features each night.

The series also invites racing fans to arrive early each night to take in Fan Fest (it’s free). This will allow fans to meet the drivers, check out team merchandise and get an up close and personal look at the cars they will see racing that night – not to mention great opportunities for selfies and pictures with the drivers!

Complete details of each nightly event as well as Fan Fest will be posted as Northwoods Speedweek draws nearer.

The Grand Rapids Speedway is located at 1336 Fairgrounds Rd, Grand Rapids, MN 55744. Click http://www.grandrapidsspeedway.net/ for the track website. It is a 3/8-mile dirt oval.

Hibbing Speedway is located at 1799 E 23rd St, Hibbing, MN 55746. Go to http://hibbingspeedway.com/ & check out the track website. The track is a 1/4-mile semi-banked clay oval.

The 3/8-mile dirt oval of Gondik Law Speedway is located at 4700 Tower Ave, Superior, WI 54880. Click www.GondikLawSpeedway.com to check out all the track details.

ABC Raceway is about 4 miles south of downtown Ashland Wisconsin and will be the final Northwoods Speedweek stop on Saturday, August 8th. The track address is 2187 Butterworth Rd, Ashland, WI 54806. It is a 3/8-mile dirt oval. Visit ABCraceway.com for all details.

The Diamond Sprint Car Series features many of the top winged and traditional (non-winged) sprint car racing teams in the upper Midwest, and drivers are competing this season for a diamond championship ring in each division. The top series points winner will take home the coveted championship prize.

The Diamond Sprint Car Series is proud to be sponsored by PIRTEK. Their company focuses on minimizing or eliminating costly equipment downtime due to a failed hose. Their preventative maintenance and emergency hose replacement services are second to none and are available nationally at more than 200 U.S. PIRTEK franchise locations. They are your one-stop shop for hydraulic and industrial hose service. Click www.PirtekUSA.com for the franchise location near you.

The 2026 Diamond Sprint Car Series also features a new ‘anthem’ titled ‘Diamonds in the Dirt’ written and produced by DarinShort.com. This song will be played to the crowd at each Series event this season, just prior to the cars coming out on the speedway, in an effort to get them fired up for the event to come. If you'd like to hear it, click https://youtu.be/plpNqxJr84U?si=BAS9jKLT1GGr3qYI for high, MP4 level sound paired with past series video clips.

Make summer plans to join us for four consecutive nights of sprint car racing on August 5th–8th with the running of the PIRTEK Diamond Sprint Car Series Northwoods Speedweek at Hibbing Speedway, The Grand Rapids Speedway, Gondik Law Speedway and ABC Raceway. Click www.DiamondSprintCarSeries.com for complete series and schedule information.

The Diamond Sprint Car Series has one schedule update to announce. The series schedule and one event flyer have been updated to reflect those changes:

The Thursday, May 21 event at The Grand Rapids Speedway has been moved to Thursday, August 6th.

The speedway has added new material to the racing surface during the off season, and it has been a very wet start to spring, so out of an overabundance of caution, they wanted to wait to bring in this special event until the wet spring weather has passed.

If you'd like to view/print the revised schedule, it has been updated on both the series website and on the google drive where you can output it.

The event flyer has also been updated accordingly.

Click www.DiamondSprintCarSeries.com to view/print these updates.

We now will kick off the series at Hibbing Speedway on Friday, May 22nd and Saturday, May 23th as a part of the big Memorial Day weekend holiday...and we hope to see you there!
