Willamette Speedway
Lebanon, OR
Track Information
In 1966, Clair Arnold didn't just carve a dirt track into the ground-he carved out a legacy. He gave Oregon a coliseum. A battleground. A place where racers could write their names in clay and thunder.
Today, Willamette Speedway still runs wide open on the same vision. Tucked into Lebanon, OR, this high-banked 1/3-mile clay oval is known for its silky-smooth surface, blazing-fast racing, and slicked-off showdowns that separate the dialed-in from the desperate. If you're here to play games, don't unload. If you're here to win, welcome home.
From seasoned veterans to up-and-coming wheelmen, the best in the business still make the pilgrimage. Why? Because Willamette doesn't just host races-it makes history. Every weekend, it's a warzone of slide jobs, photo finishes, and standing ovations. You don't just hear the engines. You feel them. In your chest. In your soul.
The fans? Electric. Loyal. Loud. They're not spectators-they're part of the show. The BEST fans on the West Coast, packing the grandstands with passion and pride.
The racers? They know this track demands respect. They know winning here means something. And when they hoist a trophy at Willamette, it's not just chrome and confetti-it's an unspoken salute to the man who started it all.
This is Willamette Speedway.
Founded by Clair Arnold. Feared by pretenders. Worshipped by the brave.
