2012 Racing Season Is Here

Its spring time and that means its time for the dirt to start flying at the Princeton Speedway. The Princeton Speedway, located at the intersections of Highways 95 and 169, has been providing Friday night racing entertainment for more than 55 years, and the 2012 season is about to begin.



The Princeton Speedway’s first night of racing this year will be on Friday April 20th. Races will run every Friday from April through Labor Day weekend. Races begin at 7pm and are a great way to spend time with family, friends and other race fans.



There have been many improvements made to the racetrack in the off season. First, some new clay was added to the front and back stretches on the track to provide a better racing surface. Last year there was a victory lane added in the infield, the victory lane was pushed back about 35 feet and the concrete barrier was removed, giving drivers more room for racing in front of the grandstands. Fans will be able to see these changes from the stands and will enjoy the additional race action that can take place in the space.



The Upper Midwest Sprint Car Series (UMSS) will be back at the Princeton Speedway on June 1. This night will feature the Princeton Speedway car classes as well as the Sprint cars. The Sprints always put on a great show of fast racing, exciting finishes and a crash or two.



Later in the summer on July 27 the Miniakota Micro Sprints will be stopping by the Princeton Speedway for their first time. Miniakota was established back in 2003 and is a group of Micro Sprints that are 775lbs and can reach speeds up to 120mph. They are a newer and very competitive class of racers with drivers being as young as 12 years old. Mark your calendar to make it to the Princeton Speedway for this exciting night.



There are a couple of nights that offer FREE admission at the Princeton Speedway this season. Those dates are, May 18 and August 17. May18th will be Armed Forces Night where we honor past and present members of the military. Past and present military members will be allowed into the grandstands for FREE. Kids Night, which will be held on August 17th, is a night full of fun events for kids. Games, activities, drawings for bikes and other items are just some of the perks for kids on Kids Nights and it is always a fun night for the entire family. Kids ages 12 and under will be allowed into the grandstands for FREE during the night.



The Princeton Speedway is running a total of six practice days this spring, allowing drivers to get the most practice time in and each practice day will be from 9am – 2pm. The practice sessions are open to all classes of cars and the pits will be open to fans for a fee of $15.00 per person. The grandstands will not be open at all, so if you would like to attend practice day, the pits are open but there is a charge.



So if you’re looking for a place to spend your Friday Nights this summer, try checking out the Princeton Speedway. Not only do you get to watch hours of live racing action, but you are able to spend time with your friends and your family. The Princeton Speedway is a family friendly facility and a good time for people of all ages. Racing can bring people together, you can develop new friendships, and overall the Princeton Speedway is a great venue for racing action.



We hope to see you at the Princeton Speedway on April 20th, and every Friday after that. Keep your eyes on the website at www.princetonspeedway.com or on Facebook by searching Princeton Speedway to keep up to date on all the racing news.
