Eagle Raceway 2009

We at Eagle Raceway understand how hard it is for everybody in these tough times, so we're "Holding the line in 2009."

In an effort to make sure that racers and fans alike can keep enjoying racing at "America's Home Track", there will be no increase in pricing for either general admission pricing or pit passes for the weekly events. We also will be maintaining the high level of excitement and entertainment that you have come to expect from Eagle week in and week out, with plenty of promotions spread throughout the year.

With the upcoming race season moving in fast, we do have a few changes planned for the 2009 race season to give everyone more bang for their buck. Our website www.eagleraceway.com will be getting a new look, and new information will be available soon on upcoming events. So be sure to check back often.
