Sports Park Raceway Announces Exciting Changes for the 2026 Season
Jeff Frevert, who is the owner/promoter at Sports Park Raceway, and the rest of the team are thrilled to announce some exciting changes coming for the 2026 racing season! After careful consideration and with a focus on continued growth, Sports Park Raceway will be IMCA sanctioned and move its racing program to Sunday nights.
“We’ve enjoyed our time with our previous sanctioning body and the excitement that came with Saturday night racing,” said Frevert. “But we believe it’s time to grow — and with IMCA’s strong consistent support and a move to Sunday nights, we’re confident this step will help Sports Park Raceway continue to thrive for years to come.” Sarah Stewart, the operations manager, added, “As someone who has previously raced under IMCA sanctioning, I’m really excited for this change. It’s a great step forward for our drivers, our fans, and the future of Sports Park Raceway.”
With the switch to Sundays, the Raceway plans to open earlier at 5:00 p.m. and run a quick snappy show. This gives families, teams, and travelers a more convenient schedule while still delivering the thrilling action they expect. A switch to Sunday night racing will reduce the competition from other racing venues, and entertainment events in the area. Sundays promise to open the door for even more racers and fans to join the excitement.
In addition to the scheduling and sanctioning news, extensive track work is already underway. The crew is hard at work shortening and narrowing the racing surface — a change expected to create tighter competition, more side-by-side racing, and reduce the amount of heavy prep work required throughout the season.
Frevert added, “We’re really excited about the improvements we’re making. The changes will make the racing even more competitive and exciting for the fans, and more manageable for our dedicated staff. The 2026 race season is shaping up to be a big year for Sports Park Raceway.” Brandon Toftee, who serves as the track prep manager, expressed, “With switching sanctions, many local drivers and fans will return, and changes to the track will produce extremely exciting racing.”
Classes on tap for 2026 include: IMCA Late Models, IMCA Stock Cars, IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Sport Mods, IMCA Hobby Stocks, IMCA Sport Compacts. Other weekly additions include Sports Park Raceway’s 4.6 Crown Vics and Vintage Cars. Other specialty classes will make the occasional appearance at Sports Park Raceway in 2026.
