What was the number one item on your New Year’s Resolutions list? If it wasn’t “more track time” then you’re no friend of mine.
Ahh, who am I kidding, I could never be mad at you.
Whether your deepest desire for 2026 was more track time or not, it’s about to be once you see Track Night in America® Driven by Tire Rack’s 2026 event calendar. Boasting more than 130 events spanning 30 racetracks from February to December, Track Night is not only one of the most affordable ways to get on track, it’s the best way to put you in the action on the motorsport circuits of your dreams.
What’s Track Night in America? Only the most fun and affordable way to get you and your car on track, mostly on weekdays, some on weekends. No experience? No problem! Have tons of track experience? There’s a group for you, too! All you need is a car, an approved helmet (you can buy one here), and a let’s-have-fun attitude!
Which Tracks?
Always wanted to pilot your ride around VIRginia International Raceway’s 17 turns? There’s a date at that historic track in November you won’t want to miss. Ever wanted to put your mad wheeling skills to the test at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course? I recommend doing that this October as Track Night returns to that stupendous facility! Dreamed of driving the vertigo-inducing 31-degree banking of Daytona International Speedway? Track Night is bringing you four opportunities to do just that from June to September, with June boasting back-to-back dates.
Then there’s Hedge Hollow Raceway. Know someone who’s run that course? Maybe not, because dates at this premier facility are rarer than a paddock crush who doesn’t ghost you after the event. (Maybe that’s just me being bitter about someone I met last year. I’ll tell you the story sometime. Uh, let’s move on…) Roll with Track Night, though, and those amazing folks will get you lapping Hedge Hollow’s amazing 3.4-mile circuit this May.
Do you like autocross as well as track time? Track Night’s got you covered there, too, because some Track Nights (like a few of the events at Nashville Superspeedway, NOLA Motorsports Park, and Pikes Peak International Raceway) will follow an autocross that’s hosted by the local SCCA Region. I’m not saying you have to enter the autocross as well as the Track Night, but I am saying that by entering both events you’ll not only become a better driver, but you’ll also increase your likelihood of finding that special someone who will eventually ghost you.
(I’m not bitter at all.)
Don’t Mind if I Do
Even though you didn’t ask, there’s more to talk about –so I will!
SCCA is offering a series of Track Days and “Track Night Special Editions” that offer similar levels of Track Night goodness but at racing facilities Track Night doesn’t usually hit – these also run alongside Tire Rack SCCA Time Attack Challenge events. Of the seven SCCA Track Days and Track Night Special Editions in 2026, there will be opportunities at circuits like Autobahn Country Club, Eagles Canyon Raceway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and more.
Registration Begins…Feb 1!
On top of all of this, remember that the season starts soon, with registration for March and April events beginning Feb. 1 (registration for the February Track Day in Las Vegas is already open for business). Furthermore, many of these will sell out, so you’ll want to register as soon as you can.
