Please note, this is all subject to change with county and state regulations. This is tentative, but we are anxious to start racing. Please continue to follow our social pages and website. We know it’s a crazy time. As we book sound, insurance, supplies and more, we will be doing thing a bit different to be budget and COVID-19 conscious. We ask that you understand we are trying our best and look forward to seeing you soon.

Update To Schedule

by Lafayette County Promotions LLC on 05/15/20

UPDATE: While the state of Wisconsin is open for business, each county is now setting regulations. We talked with our insurance and the county officials last night. We are hoping to announce more early next week after some details are finalized. This caught everyone by surprise to fully open the state overnight, so it’s a bit of a mad rush. Stay tuned next week for additional info, and thank you for your patience!

COVID-19 Update

by Lafayette County Promotions LLC on 04/23/20

Hello race fans, drivers and crew! We know you are all as anxious as us to get racing. At this point, we do not have a set date for a first test and tune or Friday race night. Please rest assured the promotions group is working hard to get racing going as soon as we can. As with every other business, event and race track - everything is at a stand still right now as far as a schedule. 

While we'd like to get a test and tune and race in as soon as we can in May; we don't know when exactly that will be. We had originally hoped for May 1st, but at this point it's not looking good. The Governor announced the stay at home order will most likely continue after the April 24th date (even out to the end of May at this point). When we know a start date, or even an idea of a start date, we will let you all know on our website and on our Facebook page. Thank you for your patience.

COVID 19 Update

by Lafayette County Promotions LLC on 03/30/20

With the President and Wisconsin Governor's stay at home orders, we are forced to postpone the start of the season. We do not know when we'll start, as of now we're looking at May 1st due to the April 30th Order announced by President Trump yesterday. If we can get a test & tune in, we will.

Please realize this is a day-by-day situation. We have received several calls and messages asking about the season. Our answer to everyone is, we wait and see what will be allowed. It is an ever-changing situation. We don't have a lot of answers right now. Nobody knows when this will end. When we are able to gather and know more, we will let you all know. For now, we ask for your patience as we sort this out. We want to race just as much as you!

We ask that you listen to the government and stay home; only going out for essential things. Remember, the sooner we can all get through this and practice social distancing, the sooner we can all get back to racing and our normal lives.

Thank you!
Lafayette County Speedway Crew
