TRACK INFORMATION
Cedar Lake Speedway was founded in 1957 by Elmer Cook and his oldest son, Bob. Over the years, the family continued to expand and improve the facility. In 2001, five new partners came on board including Ron Bernhagen, Brad Both and three brothers: Bob, Chuck and Steve Kaufman.
In addition to having one of the most successful weekly racing programs on Saturday evenings, the track also hosts many nationally-sanctioned and premier racing events. Today, Cedar Lake’s state-of-the-art 3/8-mile high-banked clay oval has developed into one of the nation's leading short track facilities.
The track is located 1.0 mile east of SR 35 on SR 64, then 4.2 miles north on CR C to CR CC, then left 1.8 miles to 2275 County Rd CC, New Richmond, WI 54017.
