GRAND FORKS, N.D. (May 3, 2017) – After two cold, rainy, and even snowy weeks, River Cities Speedway is set to kick start the 2017 Premier Racing Series season this Friday night, May 5th!

230 days…That’s how long us race fans have had to wait for the River Cities Speedway racing season to fire back up since the last checkered flag of 2016 flew back on September 16th. 

But things are about to get better. A lot better. 

That’s because we only have to wait two more days to see the dirt fly off the high banks of the legendary bullring! 

Racing kicks off at 7:00pm with the Buffalo Wild Wings NOSA 410 Sprint Cars, Performance Auto Late Models, Happy Harry’s Midwest Modifieds, and Wells Concrete Street Stocks.

Save $3 on tickets all year by getting them in advance at these select businesses: Home of Economy, University Station, Gateway Cenex, StaMart, ElRoco Bottle Shop, and Northdale Oil. Current and former members of the military receive a $5 discount by presenting a Military ID at the gate, while students get in for half price with a student ID. 

*The track will be holding Hot Laps at 6pm.
