Badger Midgets Coming To LaSalle
LaSalle Speedway & Event Center is adding even more excitement to its 2026 schedule with a late-season special on Saturday, September 26, featuring a diverse lineup of racing action including the AFS Badger Midgets, UMP Pro Mods, UMP Stock Cars, and Crown Vics.
Speedway officials are thrilled to bring fans a unique mix of classes as the racing season heads into fall. The event will also mark a special occasion as LaSalle Speedway closes out the 2026 season for the AFS Badger Midgets, a series known for delivering high-energy racing and crowd-pleasing competition every time they hit the track.
Crown Vic racing has been rapidly growing in popularity across Illinois, and fans will get their chance to watch the full-size machines battle it out around the LaSalle dirt. The program will be rounded out with the always-competitive UMP Pro Mods and UMP Stock Cars, ensuring a full night of varied racing styles and nonstop action.
LaSalle Speedway & Event Center promoter Tony Izzo Jr. is already excited about what the event will bring to fans and teams alike.
“It’s another opportunity for us to bring some variety to LaSalle,” said Izzo. “You are going to have plenty of chances to come to the speedway this year and not just see one or two classes, but some that you wouldn’t see too often.”
With a wide range of divisions and something for every type of racing fan, the September 26 program promises to be one of the most entertaining events of the season. Track officials encourage families and fans of all ages to mark their calendars for a fall night filled with speed, excitement, and memorable racing moments.
LaSalle Speedway invites everyone to come out and help celebrate a unique addition to the 2026 schedule — a fun-filled event that showcases variety, competition, and the thrill of grassroots dirt track racing.
