Enjoy a fantastic night of dirt track action at the Murray
County Speedway in Slayton, MN. This ticket is good for any race during the 2026
racing season.

The Murray County Speedway is located on the southwest
corner of the Murray County Fairgrounds in Slayton. The existence of the
racetrack goes back to the 1930s when there was a 1/2 mile horse racing track.
Later, the track was converted to a 3/8 mile track. The infield of the track
was also the football and baseball fields for Slayton High School, until the
early 1960s. In the early 1970s the Slayton VFW club took over the operation of
running the track on Friday nights for a few years and then the Slayton Jaycees
ran it. The track would sit idle for a short time in the early 1980s until Don
Zins became the promoter. In the late 1980s the track would sit idle again
until 1993. Then a group of guys, (Dave Baack, Rande Johnson, Earl Linder, Gary
Muecke, Roger Tyrell), decided to form an association of members, to get the
Speedway back as an active track. The first several years had the Speedway
facing many difficulties that need to be worked out. However, by the mid 1990s
found the Speedway holding many top notch nights, that rivaled many of the
tracks in Southwest Minnesota. IMCA and USRA have been the two sanctioning
bodies that the cars have raced under.
