As summer fades into the beginning of autumn, and thoughts start to drift to other things such as back to school and football, the normalcy of a Saturday night at the dirt track offers a simple comfort. And while our focus on the future might be shifting gears, we paused the planning and instead reflected on the past. Saturday, August 15, 2026, was the 19th annual Barry Brittendall Memorial Race at Salina Speedway. Barry, a young man gone too soon at just 15 years old, left a

August is just starting, but it's also the beginning of the end of summer. Don't fret, the racing action is still just as hot as the temperatures.

With the track points chase tightening up, all of the drivers knew it was time to start digging deep and finding every last ounce of gumption to get the best finish possible. Chuck and his crew had prepared an amazing track, and it just got better as the night went on. And despite the dry, dusty conditions at the end

The rain stayed away from Salina just enough this week that Salina Speedway was able to put on an amazing night of racing. Mother Nature has been on a tear this season, the latest being a rain shortened night in Colby Kansas at Thomas County Speedway, and a cancelled race night at Rolling Plains Motorspeedway in Hays Kansas. I want to wish those two tracks the best of luck getting their tracks ready for their next shows. With that being said, Salina Speedway had an excellent

The Fourth of July is a special day for most Americans. Family gatherings, cook outs, and fireworks are the norm for celebrating the birth of our great nation. On this, the 250th anniversary, it was no different. We gathered with our race family, we ate hamburgers and hot dogs, and there was plenty of fireworks- both on the track and in the night sky. The week leading up to Saturday's race show had Chuck Fairchild and his crew hard at work getting the track in shape, and gett
