Preserving a Racing Legacy, Building a Future
Preserving History
For decades, Gas City Speedway has been a cornerstone of Indiana dirt track racing, bringing together racers, fans, and families for unforgettable Friday night battles on the bullring. Legendary events like USAC Midget Week, Indiana Sprint Week, and the James Dean Classic have cemented its place in motorsports history.
But now, this track’s future is uncertain.
In 2024, Gas City Speedway sat silent. Despite efforts from experienced promoters and racing professionals to lease the track, all proposals were rejected. Without action, this historic venue risks being permanently lost, taking with it the memories, opportunities, and economic impact that have defined it for generations.
