Hall of Fame Night / 46th Annual Sonny Thompson Memorial Outlaw 100-Lap Figure 8 at Indianapolis Speedrome
Get ready for one of the most storied nights on the midwest racing calendar! On July 25, 2026, the Indianapolis Speedrome plays host to the Hall of Fame Night / 46th Annual Sonny Thompson Memorial Outlaw 100-Lap Figure 8, a legendary event that combines deep racing tradition with edge-of-your-seat, door-banging action. Now in its 46th year, the Sonny Thompson Memorial is a true institution, honoring the legacy of a beloved figure in figure 8 racing while delivering the kind of pure motorsports spectacle that keeps fans coming back year after year.
The main attraction is the iconic 100-lap figure 8 race itself — a format that rewards equal parts skill, nerves of steel, and a healthy respect for the intersection. Watching cars barrel through that crossing at full speed, threading the needle with inches to spare, is an experience unlike anything else in motorsports. But the night’s excitement doesn’t stop there. Fans will also be treated to competitive action from Factory FWD, INEX Legends, and USSA Kenyon Midgets, making this a loaded evening of diverse racing classes that showcase everything from nimble, high-revving legend cars to the scrappy intensity of front-wheel-drive racing.
Hall of Fame Night adds a special layer of meaning and celebration to the festivities, honoring those who have made lasting contributions to the Speedrome and to the sport of figure 8 racing. It’s a night where history and high-octane action go hand in hand, making it the perfect event for both hardcore racing enthusiasts and families looking for a thrilling and memorable night out. The Indianapolis Speedrome has long been one of the most beloved short tracks in the country, and this event captures everything that makes grassroots American motorsports so special.
Whether you’re a lifelong figure 8 devotee, a fan of the fast and furious Kenyon Midgets, or simply someone who loves the roar of engines and the smell of racing fuel, the Sonny Thompson Memorial is not to be missed. Mark your calendars for July 25, 2026, and head out to the Indianapolis Speedrome for a night that promises big thrills, rich history, and memories that will last long after the checkered flag falls.
