Opening Night 2026: Event Details and Registration Requirements

Latrobe Speedway is pleased to announce that the 2026 Season Opening Night will take place on Saturday, May 2nd. We invite fans and competitors to join us for an evening of high-speed action featuring the Crate Late Models, Pure Stocks, Modified 4 Cylinders, Crown Vic Northeast, and Hobby Stocks.

Schedule Update and Early Pit Entry

Please be advised of an important update to our event schedule. Due to the recent cancellation of our practice sessions, we have made the decision to open the pit gates early to provide drivers with additional time for hot laps. This adjustment ensures that all competitors have the opportunity to fine-tune their vehicles on the track surface prior to the start of the racing program.

Pit Gates Open: 3:00 PM
Grandstand Gates Open: 5:00 PM
Racing Starts: 7:00 PM

Mandatory Driver Registration

To streamline operations at the pit gate and ensure an efficient entry process, all drivers are required to register online prior to arriving at the speedway. Please complete the official registration form at the following link: 2026 Driver Registration Form.

We appreciate your cooperation in completing this administrative step in advance, as it allows our staff to focus on track preparation and safety.

General admission tickets will be available at the gate. Pricing for the evening is as follows:

Adults: $15
Seniors & Military: $13
Kids (Ages 7-11): $10
Kids (6 & Under): Free
Pit Admission: $35 (Adults) | $25 (Youth)

We look forward to welcoming our racing community back to the track for a safe and exciting start to the 2026 season.
