Madera Speedway celebrates its 53rd year of motorsports excitement in central California by unveiling its nine-race slate of MAVTV-televised Pro and 51FIFTY Jr. Late Model action, presented by Mission Foods. Both the INEX Legends and INEX Bandoleros will join the schedule for all nine dates with TV time dedicated to them as well. The popular Mini Super Toyotas will appear at six events as well.
Activities kick off March 16 for the 100-lap $5,000 to win Madera Speed Fest, featuring 100 laps of Pro Late Models presented by Mission Foods plus 70-laps 51FIFTY Jr. Late Models, INEX Bandoleros, INEX Legends, and Mini Super Toyotas.
Hampton Inn Night is April 6 followed by Allied Storage night on April 27. The Military Tribute Night is set for May 18. The prestigious and coveted Reverend Ron Spencer Red, White, Blue Classic continues on June 22. The $5,000 Summer Speed Fest hosts a 100-lap Pro Late Model race on July 20 for the mid-summer classic. The championship battles continue August 24 and September 14, leading into the 12th annual Short Track Shootout 150 on October 19 for $10,000 to win for the Pro Late Models!
All 51FIFTY Jr. Late Model races will be 70-laps, while regular Pro Late Model events are 80-laps. Each division features a break for MAVTV interviews and race car adjustments. The INEX Legends will compete in 30-lap features for a track championship along with state and national points.
The 51FIFTY Jr. Late Model program has developed a litany of drivers who have succeeded at the ARCA and NASCAR level, with the series featuring drivers ages 10-16 years old as they begin their stock car development. Series alumni include 2024 NASCAR XFINITY drivers Jesse Love, Hailie Deegan, and Ryan Vargas plus ARCA West race winners Tyler Reif, Tanner Reif, and Joey Iest, along with many others making their presence felt in the motorsports world. 12-year-old Vito Cancilla won the 2023 series championship.
The Pro Late Model Series champions roster includes a wide-range of talented names such as Matt Erickson, Buddy Shepherd, Austin Herzog, Kyle Keller, and 2023 champion Tyler Herzog.
The complete Madera Speedway and Madera Racing on MAVTV schedule will be released later this month.
