Cedar Lake Speedway is excited to announce the 2013 event schedule which is loaded with special events along with local NASCAR racing talent. 2013 marks the 55^th year of racing at the western Wisconsin facility. Some of the key changes this year include a track surface facelift, Masters format change, WoO of Outlaw Sprint Car event date change and Nationals preliminary night sanctioning. Fans & drivers will be greeted in April with a redesigned turns 3 & 4 along with a surface facelift. The plateau on the top of turns 3 & 4 has been removed leaving a consistent angle from the bottom to the top of the track. Along with the changes to the turns several thousand yards of new clay has been applied to the entire track. Cedar Lake Speedway expects these investments into the track to deliver a more consistent weekly race surface for our drivers and exciting side-by-side action our fans expect.

2013 marks the 4^th year of NASCAR sanctioning at Cedar Lake Speedway and with that comes a slight change to our weekly program. Every event which includes our local racers will be NASCAR sanctioned in 2013 except the Legendary 100 in September. This change gives our local drivers every opportunity to earn valuable NASCAR & track points to take advantage of all the NASCAR benefits including the largest point fund in the area & participant insurance. Similar to last year every driver will need a NASCAR license to compete at Cedar Lake Speedway weekly. NASCAR recently released plans to offer a temporary license for drivers that don’t race a NASCAR track weekly. Details on NASCAR temporary licensing will be released soon.
