Save Enid Speedway Benefit Race Saturday, October 18

By John Rittenoure - ENID, Okla. (October 13, 2025) - The regular season is over at Enid Speedway, but one night of racing remains and it is a very important one.

This Saturday, October 18, is a Benefit Race to save Enid Speedway. What that means is racing is endanger of ending at the Garfield County Fairgrounds.

The insurance company is requiring that a catch fence be build along the front straightaway in front of the grandstands. Fairgrounds management doe not have the funding to build a fence and have told co-promoters Mark Brill and Kip Hughes, if racing cannot continue they will just close the facility.

Brill and Hughes want to keep racing alive in Enid and are holding this benefit race with hopes of raising enough money to buy the needed materials and construct a catch fence. All proceeds from this event, grandstand admission, pit passes, etc., will go toward this cause. NO drivers purses will be paid and speedway workers will also be donating their time to this cause.

All classes are welcome to run in this open non-point event. Late Models, Factory Stocks, Sport Mods / B-Mods and Hot Shots / Tuners are the regular classes at Enid Speedway. But A-Mods, Pure Stocks, Sprint Cars and any other class of car that wants to race or hot lap is welcome. Race format will be draw for heat race starting position and passing points will determine feature lineups.

We know this is asking a lot of the racers to donate their time and money to a night of racing with no return, but we feel this is our only option to keep Enid Speedway operating in 2026. We very much appreciate your support. The reward for us all will be racing as usual in 2026.

Gates open at 4 p.m. Saturday, grandstands at 5. Racing gets underway at 7:30.

Adult admission is $20, seniors, military and kids 12-15 $15, under 12 is FREE. Pit passes are $35.
