I-90 Speedway

About I-90 Speedway

I-90 Speedway is a 3/8 mile high banked dirt oval three miles west of Hartford, South Dakota, just off the interstate it is named for. It races Saturday nights from May through September, running sprint cars, late models, modifieds and stock cars on the same card. Car counts here regularly top 100 entries on a weekly night, which puts it among the best supported tracks in the region.

Saturday Night in the Sioux Falls Area

The track sits in southeastern South Dakota, minutes west of Sioux Falls along I-90. That location matters. Hartford is a small town, but the track draws from the largest population center in the state and from a racing community that stretches into Minnesota and Iowa.

The Saturday night schedule also pairs neatly with Huset’s Speedway, which races Sunday nights less than twenty miles east in Brandon. A fan or a racer in the Sioux Falls area can run both tracks on the same weekend, which is part of why the whole area supports two strong dirt ovals rather than splitting one audience.

Classes and Weekly Racing

The weekly card mixes sanctioning bodies and car types. Recent seasons have run IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Cars, Late Model Street Stocks, USRA B-Modifieds and USRA Hobby Stocks as the core divisions, with the Tri-State Late Model Series appearing on bigger nights.

Having winged sprint cars and full bodied street stocks on the same program gives the night variety. The sprints bring the speed, the street stocks bring the close racing, and the B-Mods and Hobby Stocks fill deep fields.

Weekly racing has run under the RPM Race Series banner, with special formats through the season such as a Pit Stop Challenge for the Late Model Street Stocks. The track announces season awards at the end of the year.

Field sizes tell the story. A single Saturday night has drawn 133 cars through the pit gate, which is a full night of heat races and B-mains before the features even start.

Special Events

Beyond weekly points racing, the track hosts the Tri-State Late Model Series and the Midwest Sprint Touring Series, the Sioux Falls based sprint car tour that expanded into 410 sprints in recent seasons.

The season typically opens in late April or early May with a car show and practice day, giving racers a shakedown before the points chase begins.

Getting There

The track is three miles west of Hartford in Minnehaha County, just off I-90 and about fifteen minutes west of Sioux Falls. Access from the interstate is straightforward, which makes it an easy stop for anyone traveling across southern South Dakota.

Schedules, results, points and rain calls run through the track website, its Facebook page and its MyRacePass listing, all of which are actively maintained.
