WINSTON, Mo. (January 19, 2026)—The 2026 racing season is fast approaching. The tentative 2026 racing season schedule is available below or online at www.i-35speedway.net/schedule. The overall tentative schedule is uploaded to the website under Downloads.  As more information is finalized the website will be adjusted and information released via social media and press releases.

Test & Tune days are scheduled for March 7 and March 14 with opening night on tap for March 21.  The Heartland USRA Modified Tour will grace the speedway with their presence on three nights of racing with the July 3-4 weekend being a two-night event.  The Iron Man USRA Stock Car Series will visit for two shows, and the Iron Man USRA B Mod Series will have a night of racing at the legendary track.

The USAC MRA Sprint Car Series will have two nights of thunderous racing at the track in June and July.  As always, the weekly racers will be in competition every Saturday night March through October, except the track will be closed for the Summit USRA Nationals.

Late Models and Vintage Cars will pepper the schedule throughout the year, and something I-35 Speedway is well known for is maintaining the history with our Memorial Nights as we remember Mike Tanner, Bob Reber, Darrell Whitt, Cletus Murray, the Kaster Family, Bud Wilson, Mike Knight and Harold Robb Sr.
