Red Hayden Memorial at Lincoln Park Speedway

The Red Hayden Memorial returns to the legendary Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Indiana on September 5, 2026, bringing together some of the most exciting and diverse dirt track racing action the Midwest has to offer. This special tribute event honors the memory of Red Hayden while delivering a night of heart-pounding motorsports competition that fans of all ages will be talking about long after the checkered flag falls.

The card is stacked with four thrilling classes guaranteed to keep the crowd on their feet from start to finish. The non-winged 410 Sprint Cars headline the show, delivering raw, high-horsepower speed and the kind of wheel-to-wheel battles that have made sprint car racing an absolute staple of American motorsports culture. Joining them are the DIRTcar UMP Modifieds, a class renowned for intense, door-banging competition among some of the region’s most talented dirt track racers. Rounding out the evening are the Indiana Super Stocks and Bombers, two classes that bring their own brand of hard-charging, fan-favorite excitement to the Lincoln Park clay.

Lincoln Park Speedway has long been one of Indiana’s most beloved and storied racing facilities, and its intimate, fan-friendly atmosphere makes every seat a great one. Whether you’re a seasoned dirt track devotee who knows every driver’s number by heart or a newcomer looking to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of live motorsports for the first time, this venue delivers an experience that simply cannot be replicated on a screen. The roar of the motors, the smell of racing fuel, and the thunder of cars sliding through the corners is something every motorsports fan needs to witness in person.

The Red Hayden Memorial is more than just a race night — it’s a celebration of racing heritage, community spirit, and the passion that drives competitors and fans alike to Lincoln Park Speedway year after year. Mark your calendars for September 5, 2026, gather your crew, and make the trip to Putnamville for what promises to be an unforgettable evening of top-tier dirt track racing. This is one event you simply do not want to miss.
