🏁 TWO NIGHTS. ONE FINAL WEEKEND. LET’S GO RACING! 🏁

The Northern Renegades are heading to Hibbing Speedway for the final two race nights of the 2026 season!

📅 Friday, September 25th
📅 Saturday, September 26th
📍 Hibbing Speedway

It’s hard to believe we’re already down to the last two nights of the season! We’re ready to put on a show and finish the year with a great weekend of racing.

Come out, fill the stands, cheer on your favorite drivers, and help us close out another Northern Renegades season the right way — with two nights of racing at Hibbing Speedway!

🏁 See you at the track! 🏁

2ND ANNUAL DARK LAKE METAL WORKS IRON RANGE RUMBLE
SEPTEMBER 25–26

After talking with teams, fans, and staff, we’ve made the decision to move the 2nd Annual Dark Lake Metal Works Iron Range Rumble to Friday and Saturday, September 25–26, with practice on Thursday, September 24.

Money is tight. Fuel is high. And asking racers, crews, and fans to make weeknight racing work this late in the year is a tough gig. We want to give this event the best chance to succeed while making it easier on the people who actually have to get here, race, work, and support it.

So we’re tightening it up and packing the Rumble into two complete shows on Friday and Saturday.

• COMPLETE SHOWS BOTH NIGHTS
• NO DRAW, ENTRY, OR PARKING FEES
• Wissota Auto Racing NATIONAL POINTS
• PRACTICE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24

Less time away from work. Two full nights of racing.

We appreciate everyone who gave us feedback. Now let’s make the 2nd Annual Rumble a good one.
