Corn COb Nat'ls still scheduled for Sept. 5-6, 2020As everyone is well aware, life has been turned a little sideways over the last few weeks. There have been many tough decisions and conversations that have happened involving schools and businesses, and unfortunately, our industry is no exception.
It has become apparent that because of the health and travel uncertainty placed on this year’s schedule and with our numerous local tracks competing for the same slimmed-down interest, we needed to make a change for the summer of 2020. We realized it was to our, and our community’s, best interest to minimize our events and turn our focus to explore other family-friendly businesses that may suit the property and our community better alongside a slimmed-down race schedule. Although we are cancelling our normal race schedule for the 2020 season, we do plan on hosting the Corn Cob National on Labor Day weekend, if possible. For those that know me and my staff, we have come to view you, the racers and spectators, as family and we will greatly miss seeing you weekend after weekend. We cannot say thank you enough for supporting us! My family and I will cherish the memories made at the Buffalo River Race Park, and although we were looking forward to another summer of racing, we hope to see you again soon. Stay positive, stay healthy and thank you, Kevin Nathe

GLYNDON, Minn – Buffalo River Race Park will be celebrating another milestone this coming year as the speedway celebrates its 65th anniversary season. It all began as a small town dirt track hosting slightly modified street cars under the Sunday afternoon sun. Nowadays, highly modified and finely tuned racing machines take to the high-banked quarter-mile under the bright lights on Saturday night. Since taking over the reins at Buffalo River Race Park in 2007, general manager Kevin Nathe has transformed the race track into one of the premier dirt track facilities in the country for its fan and family-friendly accommodations and amenities. The 2019 season opener set for May 11th has been postponed due to wet conditions. We will see everyone on Saturday, May 18th at 6pm!
