🚨 ATTENTION THUNDERBOWL RACEWAY FANS 🚨
There has recently been some discussion regarding online ticket sales for this year’s Trophy Cup weekend. After further review, there has been a change in plans.
🎟 ALL TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED OVER THE PHONE by calling 559-688-0909, or you may always purchase your tickets the day of the event at the gate.
As always, ALL SEATS IN THE HOUSE WILL REMAIN RESERVED — nothing has changed.
If you have not yet purchased your tickets, please give Lisa a call as soon as possible. Lisa is assisting with Trophy Cup ticket sales this year.
JON from the Rayce Rudeen Foundation has some very special things planned for this year’s event. Since this year falls on Halloween weekend, fans can expect some exciting surprises and additions. 🎃🏁
Please stay tuned for a second press release coming within the next week or two with more details regarding all the special plans and activities being put together for the weekend.
We also want to kindly remind everyone:If you have seats or tickets that are traditionally saved for you each year, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you call Lisa and officially purchase those tickets with a credit card.
Unfortunately, we have experienced many situations where large blocks of tickets were held and then either:
People did not show up, or
Only needed a portion of the tickets being held.
Because of this, we are working to move away from holding large amounts of unpaid reserved tickets. We appreciate everyone understanding and helping us avoid being stuck with unused reserved seating.
This year is shaping up to be EXTRA SPECIAL — especially with the exciting change from the 360s to the 410s. Fans are truly going to be in for a real treat!
Most importantly, we want to sincerely thank all of you:Our incredible fans, sponsors, car owners, drivers, crews, families, volunteers, and everyone who donates their time and energy to help make Thunderbowl Raceway and Trophy Cup so special.
It is because of ALL OF YOU that we are able to continue putting on these amazing events year after year.
We appreciate each and every one of you, and we cannot wait to see everyone at the track! 🏁

If anyone accidentally got left off I apologize. Some it won’t let me tag. Gary Castro plays a huge part in helping everything run smoothly. He also donates a lot of time and equipment. We truly appreciate him.
