BAKERSFIELD SPEEDWAY RELEASES 2020 SCHEDULE
(DECEMBER 25, 2019, BAKERSFIELD, CA) Bakersfield Speedway promoter Scott Schweitzer released the 2020 Bakersfield Speedway event schedule to celebrate the 75th year of continuous operation this season for the historic racetrack. The much anticipated 2020 season, which features 32 race dates, will get under way on Saturday, March 7th with four action packed divisions that night and it will conclude nearly eight month later after the 35th Annual Budweiser Nationals and a special Tuesday night event in November.
The popular IMCA Modifieds will again headline the 2020 schedule with 13 points season dates. Other Bakersfield Speedway house division including IMCA Sport Mods, IMCA Stock Cars, Hobby Stocks, American Stocks, Mod Lites and Mini Stocks will also see lots of action in 2020. One big change to the 2020 season schedule, the addition of the Chris Kearns Presents “The Nationals” has been added for the two-day Memorial Day weekend May 22nd and 23rd. All four USAC divisions will again visit the Bakersfield Speedway in 2020 with the return of the AMSOIL USAC/CRA Sprint Cars May 2nd, The Western States Midgets March 21st, The West Coast 360 Sprint Car Series April 18th and the NOS Energy Drink National Midgets for a special end of the year Tuesday night event November 17th. In addition, WRS Sprint Cars, Western Pro Stocks, Mini Dwarfs, NMRA ¾ Midgets, Outlaw Karts, Bakersfield Hard Tops and the California Lightning Sprints will also join the 2020 Bakersfield Speedway season.
Schweitzer is pleased with the schedule and is excited about getting the new season under way. “I’m very happy with the schedule for 2020 and the way it came together. It’s a hard thing to put together and to do it with as little conflict with other racetracks stated Schweitzer. “With the schedule in place, we can now get busy around here getting the facility and racing surface prepared for the March 7th opener. That’s important to us so we can continue to offer fun family entertainment that keeps them coming back for more.”
The 2020 season is scheduled to kick off Saturday, March 7th with the spectator gates opening at 4:00pm and racing starting at 6:00pm sharp. The Speedway is located at 5001 N. Chester Ext.
