Yreka, California- Speedweek Northwest is excited to return to Yreka, California, for the first time since 2017, on Monday, July 8th. Siskiyou Golden Speedway, unfortunately, was unable to open up last year’s speedweek due to the nearby wildfires and was the first time ever a race with the series had been canceled due to a natural disaster. The ¼-mile clay oval has been the opening leg of every Speedweek Northwest from 2014 to 2017 with exception of 2016.
Front Gates open at 5:00 PM, Qualifying at 5:30, and Racing starts at 6:00. Tickets are $15.00 for Adults, Seniors/Military $12.00, Kids (6-12) $10.00, and Children (5 & Under) are FREE. For more information be sure to visit the Siskiyou Golden Speedway Facebook page.
In four previous Speedweek Northwest events at SGS, there have been four different winners. Kyle Hirst, Colby Copeland, Mitchell Faccinto, and Justyn Cox have all parked it on the front stretch. Ironically, all four wins have been accumulated by California drivers.
If you can only make a race or two don’t worry as we have you covered with live streaming lap to lap coverage courtesy of Dirt Oval TV. As in the previous four Speedweeks it will be once again sanctioned by the Western Sprint Tour.
