Kick off the 2026 racing season with a full-throttle day at RAD Torque Raceway, opening Saturday, May 9!

We’re starting the year the best way we know how. Loud, fast, and packed with action from morning through night. Drag racing heats things up early, then Nite Thunder dirt oval racing takes over in the evening. One ticket, two styles of racing, no need to choose sides.

A full day of motorsport action:

Doors Open: 9 AM
Drag Racing: 10 AM – 4 PM
Nite Thunder Dirt Oval Racing: 6 PM – 9 PM

Whether it’s your first visit or your season opener tradition, plan to make a day of it. Wander the Midway, take in the sights and sounds, and settle in for a proper season launch.

First-time visitor notes:
• Visit the Fan Zone for guest information and event details
• Please review and follow all RAD Torque Raceway facility policies
• Outside food and beverages are not permitted
• We love pets too, but for everyone's safety and comfort, please leave them at home.
