Interstate Raceway – Drag Racing and Drifting in Glyndon MN

Upcoming Grassroots Shootout and Matsuri

The heat is up and we’re roasting tires by the dozen out here at Interstate Raceway. Our first two events this month will send up a ton of exciting smoke, so grab the sunscreen and floppy hats. As always, check out the events page for full event details.

$5,000 Grassroots Shootout

We’re starting the month with our local big money tandem competition. The Grassroots Shootout is this weekend. Drivers and crew only on June 30, then we’re open for spectators July 1-3. Come see our fantastic local talent throwing down for some cold cash. Driver slots are sold out!

Are you more of a photographer than a driver? Do you stalk through the grass hunting drifty cars in their natural habitats? We’ve opened media team applications for this event as well as the $10k SRD Drift Challenge. Get your app in before media team slots are filled. Check it out here.

Rescheduled Spring Matsuri

This hot lap event was moved from May due to way too many Spring showers flooding the facility. Everything has the green light to proceed on July 8-10. Hot lap events allow drivers to continuously enter and exit the track so the action doesn’t stop. The drinks will be cold for this one.

June Track Events Lineup

We’re in the full swing of summer and dusting off the tire rubber from our recent drift events to prep for a double dose of drag racing this month.

Drifting the Plains #2 Winners

The weather was much better (no hail this time!) and there was a great turnout for our second round of Drifting the Plains. ND drift put on a sweet show and the competition was fierce. Congrats to our tandem winners from this round:

1st – Justin Ruth won $200 presented by TRJ Photography
2nd – Jordan Barlow won $100 presented by Evolution Fitness
3rd – Matt Umolac won $50 presented by Evolution Fitness
4th – Andrew Arnold

June Bracket Points Weekends

The weather pushed us to reschedule our first drag race weekend, so you get double the drag racing this month! Load up the slicks and swing by the starting line June 11-12 and June 25-26. We’ll be running our usual bracket points competition classes as well as a chill Test & Tune for newbies and practice passes.

Update for June 11th: Based on the weather this coming weekend, Saturday June 11th start time will likely be in the early afternoon as long as the track can be kept clear of water seeping from the ground. We’ll have overhead announcements at the facility keeping everyone posted throughout the morning. We appreciate the patience from everyone while we battle the water this year!

$5000 Grassroots Shootout

At the end of June we’re cranking the heat with our local big money tandem competition. The Grassroots Shootout is June 30 to July 3rd. Spectators, come see our hot local talent throwing down for some cold cash.

Weather Woes! Drag Racing Schedule Update

We’ve been waiting for the weather to cooperate and get a better outlook, but it’s a very soggy spring here at Interstate Raceway. With the cold and wet spring we’ve had, the ground is too saturated to handle event traffic without getting everyone’s rigs stuck in the mud or damaging our roads and pit areas. Paired with the forecasted rain this weekend, the ground won’t be able to dry out and it won’t be safe for drag racing. We’re rescheduling this weekend’s Bracket Racing and SRD events as follows:

Bracket Weekend #1 was originally scheduled for May 28-29 and will be moved to June 25-26.
SRD Shootout #1 was originally scheduled for May 28 and will be moved to July 23.

Our events page will reflect this update shortly. We’ve been working around the clock to get ready for this season, and we hope to see all of you in two weeks at our Bracket Racing weekend on June 11-12!
