HUTCHINSON — After nearly two decades, championship dirt track auto racing is returning to the famed half-mile oval at the Kansas State Fair on Sunday, Sept. 18, with the smashing fun of the Demolition Derby hitting the track earlier in the week.

“We are so thrilled for racing fans to once again experience the side-by-side and wheel-to-wheel excitement of Championship Dirt Track Auto Racing,” Bryan Schulz, Kansas State Fair General Manager, said.

All the favorites will be back, including the high-flying modifieds, the gladiators of the late model division, and the popular stock cars, battling for the title of Kansas State Fair Champion.

The ever-popular Demolition Derby is also back this year. Fans can experience the crashing commotion on Monday night, Sept. 12, during Dillons Dollar Day, which offers attendees $1 gate admission all day.

Tickets are on sale now at kansasstatefair.com or by calling (620) 669-3618.
