BECHTELSVILLE, PA. – After completing a highly competitive and exciting racing season in 2025, which saw a dozen or more different feature winners in both weekly divisions, and a point battle that went down to the finish, Grandview Speedway is ready to get back to racing with an action-packed schedule for the brand new 2026 season.
The 2026 racing season at the one-third-of-a-mile high-banked clay oval will be the 64th consecutive year of professional stock car racing at Grandview Speedway, and once again will be under the direction of the founding Rogers Family.
The Saturday night racing programs will again feature the 358 Modifieds and the 602 Crate Sportsman running in two-division programs. As has been tradition since the 1992 race season, the weekly racing programs will be part of the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series.
Grandview Speedway competitors have been sanctioned under the NASCAR umbrella for over three decades now and have been enjoying the benefits of being members, including racing for the NASCAR point fund money which is available for the National, Regional, State and Track championships, as well as the great insurance coverage provided by NASCAR.
The first on track action for the new season will begin on Saturday, March 21 with the first of seven scheduled Outlaw Racing Series Enduro and Outlaw Racing Series Vintage Car double-headers joined by the Keystone Sport Compact Series starting at 12 Noon. Rain date for this event in Sunday, March 22.
The following Saturday, March 28 will be the annual Free-to-the-public open practice session, open to all divisions starting at 12 Noon. Grandstand admission is free to all spectators while the driver’s test their equipment for the brand new season.
The official 64th season opener will follow on Saturday, April 4 with the 9th annual VP Racing Fuels Bruce Rogers Memorial Money Maker 50-lap race for Big Block/Small Block Modifieds. The race carries a rain date of April 11, and the Sportsman will also join the program starting at 6 pm.
Yearly traditional fan favorite events are once again a big part of the schedule with the 56th annual running of the following races, the Firecracker 40-lap Championship for the Sportsman on July 11, Forrest Rogers Memorial 50-lap Championship for the Modifieds on August 8, and the end of the season Freedom 76-lap Modified Championship on September 19. Each of these races carries a rain date of the following week.
Two events that joined the schedule and were very popular last season will return to the schedule this year with the Modifieds running a Twin 25-lap feature program on May 9, and the Sportsman running a Twin 20-lap feature show on August 22.
For the upcoming year, Sprint car racing will be a part of one Saturday night event, with the return of the wingless USAC East Coast Sprints joining the Modifieds and Sportsman on Saturday, July 25.
On selected Saturdays the Outlaw Racing Series Vintage Cars will be joining the show on May 23, June 27, July 18, August 15, and September 12.

The 37th season of the Rogers Family/Bob Miller promoted Thunder on the Hill Racing Series returns with three events in 2026, beginning with the High Limit 410 Sprint Car Series. This series is organized and promoted by NASCAR Cup Series Champion Kyle Larson and Multi-Time World of Outlaws Sprint Series Champion Brad Sweet.
