Tri-State Raceway

07/20/2026

What a weekend.

To every racer, spectator, crew member, family member, and fan who spent your weekend with us at Tri-State Raceway, thank you. This weekend tested all of us. Between rain, electrical issues, and timing system problems BOTH days that led to significantly delayed start times, we seemed to face one obstacle after another. Through it all, your patience and support carried us through a weekend full of unexpected challenges, and we truly can't thank you enough for sticking with us. Despite every challenge, we were able to complete two full days of racing, and that's because of this incredible racing community.

We'd like to send out a sincere thank you to Steffens Driven Media for providing an outstanding live stream all weekend long. Their coverage was invaluable on Saturday as we had to go old-school with hand-written time slips. Several racers were able to rewind the live stream to reference their runs and time slips, which was a tremendous help while we worked through the timing system issues. We truly appreciate everything they did to help keep the weekend moving forward.

Thank you to Cedar Falls Motorsports Park for lending us the crucial part we needed to resolve our time slip issues. Because of your willingness to help, we were able to return to normal printed time slips on Sunday. We truly appreciate your support and the teamwork between tracks that helped keep our weekend moving forward.

Thank you to Fangmann Performance and Repair and Jok Nicholson at Trailer Toad for providing free bottled water in the staging lanes throughout the weekend. With the long, hot days, your generosity helped keep racers and crew members cool and hydrated, and it was greatly appreciated by everyone.

To our employees and volunteers, thank you for working tirelessly behind the scenes to keep everything moving. Your dedication, flexibility, and countless hours do not go unnoticed.

Most importantly, thank you to every racer who stayed, every spectator who cheered, every crew member who pitched in, and every person who chose to spend their weekend with us. Your support, patience, and loyalty mean more than words can express. Weekends like this remind us that racing is about more than what's happening on the track; it's about the people who make this community so special. From all of us at Tri-State Raceway, thank you for standing by us every step of the way. We truly have the best racing family around, and we can't wait to see you all back at the track soon.

Well…chalk this one up to what feels like 90% of our races this season involving rain. We’re currently in a rain delay, but we still plan to race today! We’ll post updates as soon as we know more. We greatly appreciate everyone’s patience. We’re just waiting for Mother Nature to clock out for the day and let the sun take over!
