Racing Returns to Dirt Track at Kewaunee County Fairgrounds

Racing will return to the dirt track at the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds this summer, following approval of a one-year lease agreement by the Kewaunee County Board of Supervisors. 

The Kewaunee County Racing Association (KCRA), which is made up of five promoters, plans to race on Sunday nights in Luxemburg. This would make The ’Burg Speedway, as the group has rebranded it, the only area track in operation on that day. 

“This is big news,” said Dave Myers, director of Kewaunee County Promotions and Recreation. “We have a group of promoters who have all had different experiences with racing, and having cars running on Sunday versus Friday is going to bring a new feel to the track.”

The KCRA will host 12 races and aims to run five classes consisting of IMCA-sanctioned modifieds, stock cars and sport modifieds, as well as street stocks and four-cylinders. Races will start at 5 pm, with the goal of a 9 pm curfew. 

The ’Burg Speedway will have a table at the Luxemburg Racing Show at the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds Exhibition Hall on Feb. 8, 9 am – 3 pm, and promoters will be available to answer questions. There will also be an onsite information session held at 11 am.

A practice night for The ’Burg Speedway has been scheduled for May 10, 4-8 pm. Once the regular season’s racing schedule is released, it will be posted on VisitKewauneeCounty.com.
