The Track
Rebuilt, not just reopened
Through the off-season the crew tore the place down to the dirt: the Turn 2 wall moved to take out the kink, concrete protection added in Turns 1, 3 and 4, bleachers cleaned and painted on both sides, a new timing sign, and load after load of fresh red clay worked into the surface.
The result is a fast, racy oval that drivers keep calling a gem — slightly larger than Brownstown, banked, and packed with Missouri red clay instead of gumbo.
Race Night
Gates swing open in the afternoon, hot laps roll at dusk, and the features run under the lights. Concessions on site — hot dogs, hamburgers, sodas and water on Play Day, full race-night fare when the season is rolling.
Follow the speedway's page for the latest schedule, gate times and track conditions — that's where every announcement lands first.
From the Track
Dustin, on the new dirt. First pass with the grader on the fresh surface, the infield wall still going up, and the word on Play Day — gates 3:30, track time 4 to 8. Recorded at the speedway, March 2026.
Watch on FacebookDirt piles, the Turn 2 wall coming out, and the full renovation rundown.
Retaining wall stood and dried, the track opened up to take the moisture, fencing next.
Sprints, A Mods, B Mods and Factory Stocks on a surface that came in smooth by feature time.
Stations
Your channels live behind the sign-in
Farmington Empire Media runs private stations — channels between people, recorded, hashed, and searchable. Sign in with your account and the station guide opens: The Winick Chronicles, Paul and Carpenter, Foundation for Infrastructure Resilience, Psychedelic Concierge, and ESP32. Nothing in the stations is public until its members make it so.
The Paper
This site is the other half of the newspaper
Farmington Empire Media is putting the local paper back in print — a real broadsheet you can hold, where every story carries a code. Scan it and you land here: the full story, the photos, the video, and whatever happened after the presses rolled.
Print for the feel. This page for the rest of it.
