Get ready—the 2026 season roars on this Saturday, October 17, 2026, at I-35 Speedway with Kingdom Truss Night at the Races! An action-packed program of weekly racing, Late Models, and Open Vintage is set to light up the track. The speedway will race on each of the next three October Saturdays before celebrating the season at its banquet on November 7, 2026. With the finish line in sight, razor-close points battles will determine the USRA Tuner and USRA Hobby Stock championships. The excitement doesn’t stop there: Saturday’s lineup also features USRA Modifieds, USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods, E-Mods, and Beginner Tuners!
The green flag drops at 6:00 p.m.! Pit gates open at 3:00 p.m., and the grandstands open at 4:00 p.m., so arrive early, claim your favorite seat, and get ready for a full-throttle night of racing. General admission is $18. Seniors 62 and older and military members pay $15, and guests 18 and under get in free. Identification may be required.
All the action is easy to find: I-35 Speedway is just one-quarter mile east of Exit 64 on Interstate 35 in Winston, Missouri. Free parking and on-site restrooms are available. Outside food, drinks, and coolers are prohibited.
Come hungry—concessions will be serving crowd favorites all evening! Trackside Bar & Grill in Turn 1 will dish up tenderloins, chicken strips, burgers, fries, and tacos. The Main Concession Stand will offer burgers, walking tacos, hot dogs, popcorn, and Coca-Cola products. Craving something sweet? The Sugar Shack in Turn 1 will feature funnel cakes, fried Oreos, root b**r floats, ice cream, and more.
Racer Information:
Racers, get ready! Pit passes are $40 for adults and $25 for children ages 6–10, while children 5 and under enter free. Pit gates open at 3:00 p.m. The driver’s meeting begins and pill draw closes at 5:00 p.m. Hot laps fire up at 5:15 p.m., and the first heat hits the track after the invocation and national anthem. Additional details will be announced at the driver’s meeting.
Fuel 110 will be available on site. Transponders are required and must be mounted on the midplate/firewall with an opening to the ground, with the metal face directed toward the racing surface. Drivers, make sure your transponder is installed before you roll onto the track!
Once the heat races wrap up, feature lineups will be set from highest to lowest passing points. Then the drama builds: the top four cars will redraw under the flag stand during intermission, with four young race fans each drawing one of the top four starting positions!
After every race, the top two finishers in each heat and the top four finishers in each feature must report to the scales. Cars should enter the scales from the backstretch before Turn 3. Hobby Stocks may use right-front bead locks.
Don’t wait—get race-ready before arriving! Drivers must register with I-35 Speedway through MyRacePass or bring a completed form from the speedway website. A one-night temporary registration is available for $15. USRA-class drivers must also be registered with USRA; one-night temporary licenses will be available at the track for $10. Alternative USRA B-Mod rules apply.
Young racers, be sure every requirement is complete before race day! Anyone 17 or younger must have a completed Minor’s Release to enter the pit area. Drivers 17 and younger must also provide a copy of a birth certificate bearing a valid state stamp or official seal and a typed resume or profile describing the racing experience of both the participant and the parents. The resume must be attached to the release, and both parents’ signatures must be notarized. Notary services are available on site. All requirements must be completed before a minor driver enters the track.
Every point counts! USRA points can be earned through October 24, and track points will be awarded through the final race of the season.
