I-35 Speedway continues the weekly tradition of youth 18 and younger (ID may be requested) free. Last year there were rookies in all classes and track management wants to continue to grow our sport through this program supporting the youth of America. For the adults older than 18 the admission price is $15, for our Seniors (62+) and Military the admission is $12. Fan of the week continues in 2023.

Minors and parents, please read and comply. Before a minor takes the track there must be a completed Minor’s release for all competitors 17 and younger and it must include a copy of the birth certificate with either a valid state stamp or authentic seal. Additionally, all minors must provide a driver resume or profile containing all racing experience of the young driver and their parents, and it must be in pdf or word format (in other words cannot be handwritten). For Minor’s the resume is required to be attached to the Minor Release. Finally, the Minor’s Release will require both parents notarized signature on the parental consent. All of this must be completed before the minor driver can take the track!
