April 11th: Opening Night – The Roar Returns

The wait is over. The silence breaks on April 11th as Route 66 Motor Speedway roars back to life for the 2026 season opener. This is the night everyone has been waiting for—fresh paint schemes, fired-up engines, and the first green flag of the year. Elliott Brothers Racing is debuting our new look and aiming to set the tone for the entire season with a strong opening performance.

• Sponsorship Spotlight: Opening night historically draws one of the largest crowds of the year. This is the premiere opportunity for a partner to get in on the ground floor, debuting their brand alongside ours as we roll out for the first heat race of the season.
