Track History

Fairbury Speedway hosts the Prairie Dirt Classic, widely regarded as the "Late Model Super Bowl" and the biggest Late Model race of the year.

One of the event's most unique traditions takes place after the race, when the winner drives their race car through town to a nearby bank for the champion's photoshoot. The weekend also crowns the DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals champion.
