Friday's race day opens with motorcycle, quad and 3-wheeler staging at 7:30 am (sunrise 7:15 am) and an 8 am start; the schedule states "Must Start Last Lap by 1pm (No Gran Prix Finish)." Pro Motorcycles, Pro Quads, Open Exp and 399 Exp are listed for 4 laps, with "All other classes" receiving 3 laps in that session. A multi-class afternoon block is listed with 12:30 pm staging that includes Class 10, Ultra 4, Class 5, TrophyLite, Class 1450, Turbo UTV, Open UTV, Unlimited UTV, NA UTV and Jeepspeed 4700 for 3 laps, and a 2-lap group that lists Class 11, 1700, 3700, Sportsman, Vintage, Stock Mod and Pro Stock; the 12:30 pm line in the published schedule contains a truncation and should be verified for exact lap assignments. Friday instructions also include "Pit Crews Into Midway by 1 pm," a note that teams are "Released 8:00pm," and the directive "Must Start Last Lap from Main Pit by 9pm," with a 1:30 pm listed race start for afternoon sessions.

Saturday morning staging is slated for 7:30 am with 4 laps for Unlimited Trucks, Class 1 and Class 6100 and 3 laps for Legacy Legends; pit crews are to be into the midway by 8:30 am, the schedule lists teams "Released 5:30pm," and teams must "Must Start Last Lap from Main Pit by 6:30pm" with an 8:30 am race start noted. The full schedule document is titled "2026 FX Construction Parker Dam 500 Schedule of Events" and provides the addresses and specific class groupings used above.

The published schedule runs Wednesday, Feb. 18 through Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026; an earlier summary cited Feb. 18–22, 2026, creating a discrepancy that organizers should clarify. Competitors seeking to register can use the Wednesday 6–8:30 pm qualifying registration window at Down Town Event Center, 1009 W. Arizona Ave, or the Thursday noon–7 pm registration at the same address. Residents planning to attend should visit the FanFest &Tech on Arizona Ave noon–7 pm Thursday and note community programming such as the PAACE Youth Off-Road Experience at Pop Harvey Park on Wednesday.

Reporters and teams should contact Legacy Racing or FX Construction to obtain the final un-truncated schedule, confirm whether Feb. 22 has planned activity, and request the official entry list and final lap assignments before race-day reporting.
