Grand Bend Speedway kicked off the 2022 racing season Saturday evening.  Highlights of the night included strong competition from the Mini Truck series where Austin Arnel (#29) held off a charging Mason Collver (#20) for the victory and the Grand Bend Speedway debut of the Great Lakes Legends series that saw Kenny McNicol (#5) hang on for the win during a last-lap attempt by DJ Christie (#25) to get to the front in lapped traffic.

Other winners on the night included Dylan Graham (#4) in the Junior Sprints, Kara Martin (#53) in the Junior Late Models, Mike Verboom (#02) in the 9HP Mini Sprints, and Kyle Neumeister (#92) in the North Coast Compact Challenge.

The next race event at Grand Bend Speedway is next Saturday, June 4 featuring Bone Stock 50-Lap “INFAMOUS 100” Qualifier Race, 9HP Mini Sprints, Jr Sprints, Rookie Trucks, Jr Late Models, and Pro Stocks.  The evening will also bring the opportunity for fans to put themselves to the test in King of the Hill Spectator races that let fans compete in their street cars in one-on-one drag races around the track.

After raining out the season opener, anticipation is high heading into opening night Saturday at Grand Bend Speedway. The track boasts a full racing lineup plus a surprise addition starting at 7:00 pm.

Headlining the event is a 100-lap special for the North Coast Compact Challenge (NCCC Mini Stocks). In addition, the event also features a surprise add-on to the lineup: the Great Lakes Legends Series will be laying down some laps running heat races and a 25-lap main event. Legends Cars are 5/8-scale fiberglass full-fendered versions of the famed NASCAR modifieds of days gone by.

Fans will also catch racing from Grand Bend Speedway’s signature driver development classes: the Junior Late Model future stars, Mini Trucks, 9HP Mini Sprints, Junior Sprints, and Rookie Trucks.

About the Track: Grand Bend Speedway is a 1/4 mile paved Tri-Oval race track. Originally built in 1996 for small-scale vehicles it was later expanded into the track of today which can accommodate both half-size development series as well as full-size race cars. The track is located just outside the town of Grand Bend beside the Grand Bend Motorplex facility.

The 2022 Grand Bend Speedway season opener scheduled for Saturday, May 21 has rained out. After reviewing the forecasted weather, track officials determined that cancellation would be in the best interests of fans and drivers as they plan their weekend.

The rainout is resulting in an update to the schedule: the “Infamous 100 Qualifier” (Bone Stock race) that was scheduled to run on Saturday night will now run on Saturday, June 4. All other events are unchanged.

A summer of competition kicks off at Grand Bend Speedway this weekend as the track aims to carve a name for itself as a must-attend destination for beachgoers on Saturday nights this year. Opening night this Saturday will feature racing from six different classes of competition including half-size competition as well as full-size race cars with racing getting underway at 7pm.

There have been considerable changes during the off-season at the track which has placed a renewed focus on delivering a strong fan experience.  Spectators will find an improved sound system, relocated food concessions (with a new menu), a new website, and a host of additional improvements as the season goes along.  Play-by-play announcing will be delivered by Chris Soares and John Houghton: a broadcast team known to many race fans after having announced races locally for over a decade.

Drivers will experience new incentives this summer with considerably more prize money being offered at events.  This helps the track not only attract more drivers into competition, but also provides prizing worth battling for on the track.

The speedway is also introducing the “Around the Bend” driving experience.  The attraction runs throughout the summer and gives participants the opportunity to ride along in a full-size race car or, if they are brave enough, take the challenge and get behind the wheel themselves.
