Information on Heartland Motorsports Park Drag Strip

Type of race track: NHRA sanctioned 1/4 mile drag strip on 650 plus acres of land.

Location: Located SW side of Topeka, Kansas on Topeka Blvd

History: Construction on Heartland Motorsports Park took more than a year and on August 11, 1989, four years after a motorsports facility was proposed in Topeka, the track hosted its first race, the Camel Grand Prix. Built at a cost of nearly $22 million, Heartland Motorsports Park has been hosting record setting performances since the doors first opened over 30 years ago. Since 2016, the updates and renovations that have been done to the facility have been tremendous. Consequently, Heartland Motorsport’s Park 2019 season is expected to be one of the busiest to date. With over 56 days filled with road racing, 13 Test & Tune’s on the drag strip, four Sprint Car events on the dirt oval, and four nationally recognized events, Heartland invites you to come out to one or many of their 156 days of fast, fun-filled events!

Drag race season: April to mid-November, select Friday nights, most Saturdays, and some Sundays.

2019 Points Program

• Any racer may join the points program at Heartland Motorsports Park. A racer can join points at any time during the season and points will start accumulating once they join. If they join by Points Race #2, a racer will earn points retroactive from Points Race #1. A racer must be a points member to race at the Bracket Team Finals and to receive year end points fund money.
• The points program includes Super Pro, Pro ET, Sportsman and Junior classes.
• A racer will earn 40 additional points for competing in at least 7 out of the 9 Bracket Series races.

A racer earns points by the following:

• 20 points for entering and passing Tech Inspection
• 10 points for each round win
• 5 points for each round win after they win their buy back round
• 3 points to winner of each class
• 2 points to runner-up of each class
• 40 bonus points at the end of the season for those who attend 7 out of 9 races
• No Team drivers allowed.
• Once a class has been declared, you may not transfer points between classes.
• The points go with the Driver and their number. Please check your ET slip to make sure your car number is correct. This will insure that every racer is getting the proper credit.
• You may enter more than one points class. If you are running the same vehicle in both classes, the vehicle must be legal for each class you are running in. The driver is responsible for being on time for the appropriate bracket class. If you qualify for the Bracket Team Finals, you will be required to have a separate vehicle for each class entered.
• All races count towards the points totals.
