Cottage Grove Speedway schedules March 22 registration party, April 4 season opener

Cottage Grove Speedway posted a March 4 news item announcing its annual Pre-Season Registration Party will take place March 22, 2026 at The Cottage Bowl in Cottage Grove, inviting drivers and their families to register for the 2026 season. The timing places the registration event between scheduled practice dates on March 21 and March 28 and ahead of the track’s April 4 season opener, giving drivers an in-person opportunity to register before the first race night.

A March 4 MyRacePass posting promotes the event as “the perfect way to kick off the 2026 season together,” and the excerpted copy includes the fragment “Food and bowling will...” but the posting in the available scrape is truncated and does not show the sentence completion. The original press excerpt provided to this newsroom likewise cuts off after “sign minor-re,” leaving that portion of the release incomplete in the materials reviewed.

MyRacePass lists the track’s immediate calendar alongside the registration announcement: Saturday, March 21, 2026 is labeled PRACTICE and is shown as the site’s NEXT EVENT; Saturday, March 28, 2026 is also listed as PRACTICE; and the season opener is scheduled Saturday, April 4, 2026. The April 4 season-opener entry names the competing classes explicitly as 360 Sprints, Late Models, IMCA Modifieds, IMCA SportMods and IMCA Sport Compact.

Earlier MyRacePass posts tied to the 2026 promotion are visible on the track’s profile: a Jan. 20, 2026 item titled “SEASON PASSES AVAILABLE NOW” states verbatim that “Season Passes are good for every event including all Special Events making them a savings of over 50%!! They also come with a reserved seat!” Another Jan. 9, 2026 post on the profile declares that “2026 marks the 71st season here at Cottage Grove Speedway” as the track prepared its full schedule.

Key logistical details were not present in the scraped announcements: the March 22 start and end times for the Pre-Season Registration Party at The Cottage Bowl, whether registration fees will be collected on-site or online, full wording of the truncated “sign minor-re” clause, and whether season passes will be available for purchase at the March 22 event. The MyRacePass profile also prompts users to “Search Cottage Grove Speedway or scan this handy QR Code” for more information via the MyRacePass app, but no direct contact name, phone number, or event times were included in the excerpts provided.

Cottage Grove Speedway’s March 4 posting on MyRacePass frames the March 22 party as the kickoff to the 71st season; drivers and families planning for the spring schedule should note the March practice dates and the April 4 opener’s class list as the track moves toward live racing.
