Cedar Lake Speedway is proud to release it’s 2026 race season schedule. It doesn’t seem like it could get any better but this might just be it. With opener schedule for April 4th, the schedule highlights numerous exciting changes and announcements. Here are a few:

• The bookend’s of the season (the Legendary Opener and the Legendary 100) bring a new exciting format with complete shows and pay all three nights. Better yet, the fall event will pay a huge purse with $10,000 to win for local late models.
• After a successful inaugural event at the Cedar Lake Speedway in 2025, the Mahder Memorial will return in 2026 again featuring $10,555 to win for our local late models
• A sprint car fan’s favorite event (the Richert Memorial) will move from its standard September date to the last weekend in July.
• The USA Nationals will again be one of only 3x tracks in the entire country that pay $100,000 to win for open late models. Only a few campsites remain.
• Moving the Richert Memorial in September opens up a weekend for something fun. Get this…Cedar Lake Speedway is going to pay a whopping $10,000 to win for Midwest Modifieds on September 12th.
• After a few years of watching an empty racetrack with 70 degree weather in October, Cedar Lake has extended its race season with Fall Fun Day #2 on October 10th.

The complete schedule is available online and can be linked to your phone. Have a great off-season and don’t miss all the exciting action planned for 2026 at the Legendary Cedar Lake Speedway!
