2025 Schedule released

The Santa Maria Speedway is happy to announce that 2025 will bring the first full season of racing since 2019. The track has struggled to maintain full seasons of racing since COVID, but now has secured a bright future of dirt track racing for the next generation of racers and fans while preserving the historic legacy of this great facility.

The 2025 Season at Santa Maria Speedway consists of 17 race nights on the 1/3 mile clay oval, as well as 8 days of Kart action on the SMS Kart Track, and a season-ending Monster Truck Show. The 2025 season features some of our long-time favorite Sprint Car series like the USAC/CRA 410 Sprints and the NARC King of the West 410 Winged Sprints. Also returning is the new Ultimate Sprint Car Series.

This series came about in 2024 with great car counts and even better action. And two of the USCS Sprint shows will be double-headers with the USAC Western States Midgets. The California RaceSaver Winged Sprints also come back after a long absence, and with 6 races in 2025. And two of our big sprint shows will also feature the popular winged California Lightning Sprints. This season also features the first ever appearance at SMS for the Kings of Thunder Winged 360 Sprints. These folks bring great car counts and fast winged sprint action. Can’t wait for that! Another first for SMS, the BCRA/WMR Super Series Midget Races come to Santa Maria just as summer breaks. Lot’s of new things for 2025!

2025 also brings back some popular stock car divisions featuring our local race heroes in their IMCA Modifieds, IMCA SportMods, Hobby Stocks, MiniStocks, and Dwarfcars. Speaking of Dwarfcars, the SoCal Dwarfcars will be teaming up with the WSDCA to bring the SoCal Dwarfcar Nationals back to Santa Maria for three nights of great Dwarfcar action, aided by our local MiniStocks. And the IMCA divisions also get some additional excitement as Santa Maria Speedway will host night #2 of the 4-night Central California IMCA Clash featuring IMCA Modifieds, IMCA SportMods, IMCA Stock Cars, and Hobby Stocks. ProStocks headline three nights of racing with the West Coast ProStocks starting the season, and the Tri-State ProStock Series wrapping up the dirt track season.
The Kart Sundays are back with seven weekends dedicated to what has become our “farm team” of young racers. Some of our current big oval drivers started on the SMS Kart Track. The seven kart events include a Labor Day Weekend two-day show that has been a great event with race teams and their families camping out, BBQing, and, oh yeah, two days of kart racing.

Monster Trucks round out the season on the Saturday after Halloween to become part of the Halloween Smash. This fun event for all ages features trick-or-treating, costume contest, pumpkin smashing, and Monster Trucks navigating our challenge course lined with crush cars and jumps to achieve the air we want to see!

Santa Maria Speedway looks forward to hosting fans and race teams from all over the state and beyond as we have done since 1964! We also want to emphasize that we are a family-friendly facility with a goal of fun and excitement for the whole family. Stay tuned for announcements on pricing, online ticketing links, season tickets, and a whole new look for our website. SantaMariaSpeedway.net
