Further, in order to give our loyal racers an opportunity to earn as many points as possible Cedar Lake Speedway will require that all competitors in the Late Model, Modified, Super Stock & Midwest Modified divisions purchase NASCAR licenses. Each driver will earn the maximum points available during feature events along with over $1,000,000 of liability coverage in the event of an injury while at the track. Same as in the past, Cedar Lake Speedway will purchase licenses for three of each driver’s pit crew. NASCAR licenses in the Late Model division are $190 and in the other 3 division they are $95. Opening weekend is a NASCAR sanctioned event and licenses will be available during the event. For opener weekend only, drivers do not need a license but will only earn points for the weekend if they have purchased one. Throughout the season Cedar Lake Speedway has scheduled non-sanctioned race events and no NASCAR points will be awarded during those events. You can identify NASCAR point nights on our schedule as they are listed NASCAR Racing. Temporary licenses are available for competitors choosing to race at Cedar Lake Speedway for single events.
We are excited to get the 54th season started, to introduce the Hornets to the Cedar Lake Speedway fans and wish all our loyal competitors a safe and enjoyable season. For complete schedule and more information visit our website www.cedarlakespeedway.com
