A large field of cars is expected to congregate to the famed facility with not one but two rounds of scheduled action on Friday, July 12th and Saturday, the 13th.
The schedule for Friday and Saturday is as follows with the Pit Gates open at 1:00 PM, Front Gates 3:30, and Time Trials at 5:30 with Racing beginning at 6:00.

There have been twenty-four total Speedweek Northwest events at “The Grove” with eleven different winners being produced. Roger Crockett has eight over Brent Kaeding who has three. Shane Stewart and Jason Solwold have won twice while drivers with just a single triumph include Justyn Cox, Brad Furr, Danny Horner, Jesse Hockett, Wayne Johnson, Kyle Hirst, Logan Forler, Michael Kofoid, and D.J. Netto. Kofoid and Netto were the two drivers to strike success at CG in 2018.
