The open wheel battle between Justin Sanders and Cole Macedo for the 2024 NARC championship was absolutely epic. It literally came down to the final lap of the season. We are looking forward to another exciting season in a few weeks.

BAKERSFIELD SPEEDWAY AND KEVIN HARVICK’S KERN RACEWAY TEAM UP FOR 2025 DIRT RACING SEASON

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (January 25, 2025) – The 80th season of dirt track racing in Bakersfield and Kern County will be an impactful one, as Scott Schweitzer at Bakersfield Speedway along with Tim Huddleston at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway have announced an exciting partnership. Bakersfield Speedway’s 2025 operations will relocate to the one-third mile Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway Dirt Track with a full season of championship dirt track racing.

Bakersfield Speedway held 79 years of dirt track racing thrills at its current home on Chester Ave. Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway at Enos Lane and I-5 opened in 2013 while its dirt track began operations in 2015. Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway combines two of California’s signature venues into one racing season. The Kern Raceway dirt track is undergoing a transformation with a reshaping of the exit of turn two into the entrance to turn three. Over 2000 additional seats will be added along with a new VIP Booth, scoring tower, and press box are also planned.

Track championships will be awarded in the IMCA Modifieds, Sport Modifieds, Stock Cars, Hobby Stocks, and American Stocks. The season will also be loaded with special events. The new era of dirt track racing in Bakersfield begins on March 8th with IMCA opening night.

Schweitzer and his staff will continue their roles as the steward of racing operations while the bulk of marketing will fall upon Huddleson and his team.

“We cannot begin to express our excitement at this opportunity to partner with Scott Schweitzer,” Huddleston said. “Kevin and I are looking forward to this chance to elevate motorsports in Kern County with a full season of dirt track racing!”

Schweitzer echoed the excitement. “Crissy, Dakota, Brody and myself are overwhelmed that everyone at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Racing was excited to have us as a part of this state of the art racing facility. We look forward to taking the dirt racing experience at Kern Raceway to the next level for all the racers, crew members and race fans starting March 8th. Partnering with Tim and Kevin on the dirt track is an amazing opportunity for us and we can’t wait to get started.”

A highly anticipated debut is scheduled for Friday night March 21 with the Kubota High Limit Racing 410 Sprint Cars. After a thrilling appearance at Bakersfield Speedway in 2024, the NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws race into Kern Raceway on Friday September 12. NARC 410 Sprint Cars make their tenth Kern appearance on October 25. The USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets close the Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway season on Tuesday November 25.

Annual IMCA traditions continue at the new facility with the McGowan Memorial on June 28, Mike Moshier Classic on August 16, and the Bud Nationals on October 10 and 11.

Ultimate Sprint Car Series wingless sprints hit the track for two appearances on April 12 and June 7. USAC Western Midgets, California Racesaver Sprints, SoCal Dwarf Cars, California Lightning Sprints, Western Midget Racing, Western Racing Association, West Coast Sport Compacts, NMRA TQ Midgets, and many other series will compete throughout the season.

Additional details regarding rules and registration will be available soon. Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway information can be found at www.BakersfieldSpeedway.com Bakersfield Speedway social media will also be home to updates.

Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway is a state-of-the-art motorsports complex which includes half- and quarter-mile paved ovals along with the one-third mile dirt Bakersfield Speedway at KHKR. For more information on Kern Raceway, visit www.KernRaceway.com

Central California racetracks are taking a beating these days. Kings Speedway is on the list for a heart transplant and Bakersfield Speedway just moved their race dates to Kevin Harvicks Kern Raceway.

Thank you to Kern Raceway for taking over the Bakersfield schedule. Please support your local - and even not so local - Dirt tracks.

Good news: Kern Releases their dirt track schedule.
Bad news: looks like this may mark the end of the historic Bakersfield Speedway
