Track Preview

Bloomington Speedway has played host to some of the best dirt racers in the business, in the back woods of Kinser country this 1/4 mile oval not only boast one of the best surfaces in Indiana it also usually has a packed grandstand. The MMSA will visit Bloomington Speedway four times in 2017 two of those dates back to back for the second annual Lightning Sprint Nationals brought to you by Hoosier Speed and Speedway Motors!

Brownstown Speedway
Another great historical venue, built in 1952 and known for some of the best dirt late model shows. A wide two groove Brownstown Speedway is hard to beat, covered grandstands and some of the best cheeseburgers on the MMSA tour.

Lincoln Park Speedway
Another prestige stop on the MMSA schedule, the tacky surface is measured at 5/16th of a mile but plenty of room for action packed racing, this central Indiana track has earned its rank as one of the best since its conception in 1969.

Salem Thunder Valley
The MMSA tour will go back to its roots and back to Salem's Thunder Valley Speedway in 2017. The MMSA last visited TV in 2008. This 1/5th mile will prove to be daunting as our racers take off the wings for three great events.

Paragon Speedway
Another historically stop for the MMSA tour, this paper clip shaped track explains what Indiana Sprint Car racing is all about. Many open wheel heroes have cut their teeth on this slick 3/8th mile facility. Not many things have changed at Paragon over the past 35 years, that means they are doing something right!

Tri State Speedway "The Class Track"
Prestige and Professionalism are the only words that describe Haubstadt's Tri State Speedway. With the best promotional and track prep team known in the business the Helfrich family has owned and operated this track since 1957.
The engineered surface provides some great traction, mixed with wide turns provide some excellent wheel to wheel action.

North Vernon Twin Cities
The "NEW" Twin Cities Speedway was purchased over the off season with an eager track owner and a well established track promoter, Twin Cities will return to greatness in 2017. Tim Keithy who once pulled Brownstown's Speedway from the ashes has joined this new team in building the new Twin Cites. Many improvements have occurred during the off season including new clay, new pit offices and many improvements in safety.

Monroe County Fair
1/5 mile slightly banked oval, tight quarters provides a challenge for even the most talented drivers. Grass roots racing at its best!

Scottsburg Fair Grounds
A wide flat facility, and a 1st for the MMSA Tour. This non USAC winged events should be a great show for the fair crowd!
