Fremont Speedway, fueled by FriendShip Kitchen, is proud to announce its 2026 racing schedule, a diamond anniversary celebration marking 75 years of dirt track excellence at the Sandusky County Fairgrounds.

The 2026 campaign features a blend of traditional favorites, national touring events, and a "Decades" theme that honors the legends who built the legacy of Fremont Speedway Fueled by FriendShip Kitchen.

“We are working together with all the tracks who run 410 sprints weekly to ensure better participation across the state,” said Fremont Speedway Promoter Rich Farmer.

To celebrate 75 years, several events will take fans on a journey through time, featuring autograph sessions and special tributes:

Farmer noted the Turf Wars will involve inviting the weekly Wayne County Speedway 410 sprints to Fremont when Wayne County does not have them in competition and for Fremont Speedway teams to go to Wayne County when Fremont does not have them in competition.

Highlighting the "Remembering the 2010's" celebration on Aug. 1, Fremont Speedway is thrilled for the return of the fan-favorite School Bus Races.
