Hamilton County Speedway

Hamilton County Speedway 1/2 Mile Semi-Banked Dirt Track The Hamilton County Speedway is the oldest speedway in the state of Iowa, opening in July 1910.

In 1938, work began on the current location at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds. The semi-banked half-mile dirt track was completed in the spring of 1939, and the first races were held on the track in September of that year. The track is located off of US 20 at exit 140, then 1.2 miles north, then 0.5 mile east on Bank St., then 0.4 mile south on Bluff St.

Todd & Janet Staley have worked with the Hamilton County Fair and will host some races in 2025 at the Hamilton County Speedway. It will be a limited schedule, but will keep racing going at the Historic Hamilton County Speedway. It was not our intentions at all to have this place close. I started working at the speedway in 1974 and have been around this place through many promoters over the years stated Staley. Weekly racing is just not what it once was and costs to run races weekly for drivers, fans, and promoters is crazy. It takes almost $7,000 just to open the front gates for a weekly race before any purse money is even paid. That is just paying track help, rent, and insurance.

Brandon Toftee a racer at the Hamilton County Speedway and other area tracks was working to take over the track, but after looking at all the options, decided it was not in the best interest at this time. No other options were provided to the Hamilton County Fair for the season.

The 2025 season will still feature Karl Chevrolet as the title sponsor of the speedway and the DTRA Dirt Trucks will have three appearances this season. In addition to these events USMTS - United States Modified Touring Series will invade the speedway for a two day event April 11-12 that will see over $60,000 purse paid out just to the Modifieds with $5,000 to win each night. April 25-26 will see two nights of the USRA - United States Racing Association Iron Man Stock Cars racing for $1,200 and $2,000 to win with over $25,000 paid out that weekend to the Stock Cars.

The next event will be the Iron Man Stock Cars again on June 7th for the Bob & Dean Flaws Memorial race featuring the new Northern Lights Modified Series paying $2,500 to win. June 28th we will come back with the Tri-State Late Model Series that will feature some of the great Late Models from the Tri-State area. This race will pay extra money and will be the Bill Rice Memorial.

July will be a busy month with the Annual Hamilton County Fair and will feature Thursday Night Thunder with the Malvern Bank Super Late Model Racing (SLMR) Series. Friday night we are working on a couple different ideas and will see what the fans want to see. Saturday night will be the Hall of Fame Induction and Kids Night at the Races with Sunday Night being the Eve of Destruction Trailer Races featuring four classes of cars, trucks, and vans racing. Some new rules for this years trailer races will feature 25 laps of action and the driver with the last trailer still hooked up will be the winner. It is your job to knock off the trailers of other vehicles. The Hamilton County Fair is July 24 Thursday thru July 27th Sunday.

August we will come back with one more event and that will be the 2nd Annual Mike Baker Memorial Race on Saturday August 16th.

Depending on how the season goes we have the Annual Fall Futurity race in October.

What event would you like to see on Friday Night July 25th a few ideas is the Sprint Invaders 360 Sprint Cars and 305 Sprint Cars, Rodeo, or any other ideas post what you would like to see.

Some times less is more and with everyone having so many things going on we hope this will help get more people to the Grandstands. We will see some new looks at the Speedway as we will be putting up new signs that will be 10x20 foot signs on backstretch. I know people want to see prices lower and we will be offering discounts but some of that will depend on sponsors for the 2025 season.

Chili Supper will be February 22nd at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds so be sure to come and help keep the HCSRA going strong. The Hamilton County Speedway will still offer some great point funds for drivers attending and will be working with Fort Dodge and Fairmont for a three track point fund. Help spread the word and lets make Hamilton County Speedway great again.

If you would like to entertain running the track for a special event be sure to get a hold of Todd and you will be more than welcome to give it a shot.

Wanted to pass out some information on the Hamilton County Speedway for everyone. It has been very quite and we need to get something out there. Other tracks are working on their schedules and wondering what is happening with HCS.

The Fairboard opened up the track for bids last fall and a deadline of November 1st. No one stepped up to the plate to run the track and board asked Todd and Janet if they would entertain running some races. Todd is currently working to find sponsorships to keep the track going and will run some special events if sponsorship is attained. Here are the dates we are looking at running.

The goal with this schedule is to get people coming and make all the events special. Limited schedules are a lot better for the fans and the racers. Let Todd know if you are interested in being a sponsor so we can run these races.

April 11-12 Iron Man Series for Stock Cars B-Mods, Modifieds, and Hobbys.
April 25-26 United States Modified Touring Series with Stock Cars, B-Mods, and Hobby Stocks
June 7 Bob & Dean Flaws Memorial
June 28 Mike Baker Memorial
July 24 Hamilton County Fair Entertainment
July 25 Hamilton County Fair Entertainment
July 26 Kids Night at the races with HCSRA Hall of Fame Inductees
July 27 Eve of Destruction Trailer Races (New Rules in 2025)
August 23 Bill Rice Memorial Race

We would still entertain a Fall Special just trying to finish up the USMTS Schedule.

Are you interested in seeing racing continue at the Hamilton County Speedway let us know? If you want to be part of helping make that happen and would sponsor call Todd at 515-297-3870.
