Spring Classic to launch 2025 season at Karl Chevrolet Hamilton County Speedway
The 2025 racing season roars to life this Friday and Saturday, April 11-12, at the Karl Chevrolet Hamilton County Speedway with the 15th Annual Spring Classic.
This two-night showdown features the Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt, showcasing top Modified drivers battling for $5,000-to-win main events each night.
The action-packed weekend includes USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods, and USRA Hobby Stocks competing both nights, with USRA Tuners and Crown Vics joining the lineup on Saturday.
Fans can expect a fierce field of outlaw-style Modified drivers, fresh off the King of America event where Jim Chisholm and Cade Dillard each notched two wins, and Joe Chisholm and Kyle Strickler claimed one apiece in the USMTS's first six races of the year.
To sweeten the deal, the USMTS office is offering $5-off ticket prices for those who stop by the trrack office between now and Thursday, open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
Fans can also get in on a giveaway for a pair of tickets to both nights' races by liking, sharing, and commenting on the event's promotional post on Facebook, with the drawing set for Thursday night during open practice.
The practice session runs from 6 to 8:30 p.m., with pit passes priced at $25 and free admission to the grandstands.
Organizers are calling on fans to pack the grandstands for what promises to be a stellar kickoff to the season. With a strong contingent of the nation's best Modified drivers descending on Webster City, the Spring Classic is shaping up to be a must-see event.
Stop by the office, grab your discounted tickets, and join the excitement April 11-12.
The Karl Chevrolet Hamilton County Speedway is an historic dirt track celebrated as the oldest continuously operating speedway in Iowa. Located at 1200 Bluff Street, Webster City, IA 50595, at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds, this semi-banked, 3/8-mile oval has been a cornerstone of Iowa's racing scene since its first race in July 1910.
Construction of the current track began in 1938, with its inaugural event held in September 1939 after completion that spring. Nestled beside the Boone River, the track's natural hillside setting creates an amphitheater-like experience for spectators.
The speedway features a clay surface known for its fast, competitive racing. Facility-wise, it offers stadium-style seating in a covered grandstand, plus open bleachers in turn one, accommodating a family-friendly crowd.
Operated by TTMM Promotions under Todd and Janet Staley, the track has seen recent upgrades, including improved concessions, restrooms and a lightning-fast racing surface revamped in 2018.
The USMTS is the ultimate proving ground where only the fiercest, most skilled dirt slingers in North America dare to tread. This is where legends are forged, battles are won and the roar of engines drowns out the weak.
Since 1999, this is where the elite meet, and every driver from the top guns to the local heroes get a shot at glory at some of America's most brutal dirt tracks. This is where the Best of the Best in dirt modified racing come to show their mettle.
When it comes to outlaw dirt modified racing, the USMTS has no equal. USMTS is the Real Deal. Don't be afraid of the fast.
