*We will start with the World Racing Group ASCS Sooner series sprint cars. With many cars having trouble the night before the 9 car field still put on a show! Double heats with the second one inverted provided lots of winged action. Having local hero and crowd favorite Jeremy Campbell in a heated battle late in the race brought the crowd to their feet. When the double checkers flew it was the 10c victoriously celebrating on the front stretch with a Dozen Donuts to delight the fans! *The Allied...more

As the first practice is coming our way in the next few weeks, it’s a little hard to look at the frozen tundra that this winter has given us and even think about dirt flying and engines roaring around the storied 3/8-mile track. Nonetheless, race season is here very soon!! I personally am more than ready to get back to the races. The 2025 season looks to be one of the baddest ass schedules you could imagine.

If any driver that redrew the pole for the A-feature would start 6th instead and win from that spot would each garner an additional $500!!! Unfortunately All 6 stayed at the point (not one of them that started on the pole went on to win) and did not try for the Logan’s Landscape...more
