🌧️ Dakota Classic Modified Tour at Southwest Speedway Cancelled 🌧️

Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans for us!

After receiving over a inch and a quarter of rain at the speedway today, combined with the cool temperatures and additional rain in the forecast, we have made the difficult decision to cancel Southwest Speedways night of the 2026 Dakota Classic Modified Tour😞

As of Monday evening, our facility was race-ready. The new Finish Line Promotions Board has worked incredibly hard over the past several months to bring Southwest Speedway back to life, and we were excited to welcome everyone for an outstanding night of racing.

We know some may wonder why this decision is being made this early. In years past, a last-minute cancellation primarily affected the speedway. This year with an abbreviated season, it’s different. We have multiple outside vendors who dedicate their time, equipment, and staff to make this race night a success. Making this decision now helps ensure they aren't burdened with the expense and inconvenience of a last-minute cancellation.

While we're disappointed that the Dakota Classic Tour won't be making its stop in Dickinson this year, we're excited about the future.

There are many exciting updates already completed, with even more still to come!

We also want to extend a sincere THANK YOU to everyone who has helped make this transformation possible:
• Denny's Electric
• Tooz Construction
• Stark County Park Board
• Stark County Commission
• The entire Finish Line Promotions Board
• Our volunteers, sponsors, and everyone who has donated their time, money and effort to bringing racing back to Southwest Speedway.

Your hard work has made an incredible difference, and we're just getting started.

Finally, we want to wish all of the drivers, crews, officials, sponsors, and fans traveling with the Dakota Classic Modified Tour a safe, successful, and exciting remainder of the 2026 tour.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing everyone back at Southwest Speedway soon.🏁

Thank you for your continued support of Southwest Speedway.

Sincerely,

Finish Line Promotions Board of Directors!
