VIKING SPEEDWAY racing
T
he 56th racing season at the Viking Speedway gets underway on May 8, and racers and fans will continue to see action this summer on the 1/2-mile track. The speedway has been home to stock car racing at its finest, featuring WISSOTA sanctioned classes – Modifieds, Super Stocks, Midwest Modifieds and Street Stocks – since 1953. Racing is normally held every Saturday night from the beginning of May through Labor Day, along with a few other specials throughout the summer. Highlighting the racing season will be the Hall of Fame night on August 1 as well as the Jerry Kluver Memorial Super Stock Special on August 8. The Viking Speedway is located at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Alexandria, approximately 3/4 mile west of State Highway 29 on County Road 82. Pit gates open at 3 p.m. and the grandstand opens at 5 p.m. Racing action gets under way at 6:30 p.m. Pit game admission is $30, and $10 for children 10 and younger. Those children younger than 18 must have a parent complete and sign a waiver before being admitted. Grandstand admission for regular race events is $13 for senior and college students, $15 for adults, with free admission for children 17 and younger. Admission prices in both the grandstand and the pits may vary for special events.
