Jamestown Speedway to host Fourth of July race night and fireworks
Racing returns to the fairgrounds at 7 p.m. on July 4, with Cavendish Farms fireworks set for about 11 p.m. after six classes hit the clay oval.
Jamestown Speedway will turn the Stutsman County Fairgrounds into a Fourth of July stop for racing and fireworks, with its Fireworks Spectacular Race Night set for Saturday, July 4. Racing will begin at 7 p.m., and fireworks presented by Cavendish Farms are planned for about 11 p.m., giving families a full evening built around one of Jamestown’s most familiar summer traditions.
The program will feature Bombers/Hobby Stocks, Gerdau Recycling WISSOTA Midwest Mods, Jr. Slingshots, Wright Insurance Agency INEX Legends, WISSOTA Street Stocks and Shocker Hitch IMCA Modifieds. The speedway is a 1/4-mile, high-banked clay oval on the Stutsman County Fairgrounds in Jamestown, and it runs Saturday-night racing from May through August. The holiday race night also lands in a busy stretch of the schedule, coming just before the 37th Annual Dakota Classic Modified Tour on July 10.
For people planning where to watch the fireworks, the grandstand at Jamestown Speedway has long been the strongest viewing spot for the community display on the fairgrounds. Fireworks are not allowed on the Stutsman County Fairgrounds, which keeps the celebration organized around the speedway’s official program rather than scattered neighborhood shows. A previous July 4 speedway event used the same 7 p.m. race start and put fireworks at about 10:30 p.m., so the holiday night has typically been timed to carry through dusk and into darkness.
The event sits inside a larger fairgrounds-centered summer calendar that already saw the 128th Stutsman County Fair run June 24-27 at the same site. Jamestown Tourism also sponsors the annual fireworks display, underscoring how the night functions as more than a race card: it is a hometown gathering point that keeps holiday activity in Jamestown and gives the fairgrounds another marquee date in a season already shaped by special-night racing. The speedway says its Stock Car Stampede has been going on since 1972, a reminder that July 4 at the track is part of a long-running local tradition, not a one-off attraction.
