Race of Champions Weekend at Lake Erie Speedway — September 11 & 12, 2026
“The Greatest Asphalt Racing Party in the Region” returns September 11–12 with eight divisions as the region’s biggest racing party.
North East, Pa. — (August 19, 2026) — The countdown is on to when Race of Champions Weekend takes over Lake Erie Speedway in North East, Pennsylvania with two days of high-stakes racing, fan traditions, and one of the biggest celebrations in short track asphalt racing.
There is no one division at the center of it all: this is a celebration of the Race of Champions Family of Series. Each Race of Champions division will be highlighted in competition over the course of the event. Friday and Saturday will have qualifying and feature races, with divisions to be announced at a later date.
Event Schedule
| Day | Fan Gates | Racing |
|---|---|---|
| Friday, September 11 | 5:30 PM | 7:00 PM |
| Saturday, September 12 | 4:00 PM | 6:00 PM |
Camping
This has become a crown jewel weekend for racers and fans throughout the region, and this season Race of Champions management is taking it one step further by offering travelers “free” onsite camping for the weekend with the purchase of a ticket for the events at Lake Erie Speedway. If you are camping there will be a small fee that includes the following — the use of “the waste station”, garbage cleanup and security. This maintains and protects the property. Race of Champions management is currently seeking a sponsor to cover these costs to eliminate this cost from attendees and will announce anything as soon as possible.
A Full Weekend Celebration
This year’s event is shaping up to be the biggest in Race of Champions history:
- Eight divisions in action, including all seven Race of Champions “Family of Series,” and the WNY Mighty TQ Midgets.
- Off-track, fans will enjoy the region’s biggest “Racing Party” atmosphere with camping, activities, and celebrations of the sport’s rich tradition.
“This is the biggest weekend we’ve ever had at Lake Erie Speedway,” said Race of Champions management. “Drivers, teams, and fans will come together not only for great racing, but for a true celebration of history, tradition, and community.”
