Placerville Speedway is a 1/4 mile dirt track[3] located in Placerville at the El Dorado County fairgrounds[1] in the Sierra Nevada foothills of eastern California.
History
The track began in 1965 as "Hangtown Speedway".[4]
On November 20, 2019, the speedway held the Elk Grove Ford Hangtown 100, a 100-lap, $20,000-to-win USAC National Midget Series race which was won by Kyle Larson.[3] It was the first time that the national midgets raced at the track.[1] That same year, the World of Outlaws sprint cars made their first appearance at the track in approximately twenty years.[5] In 2020, the weekly races were broadcast on FloRacing[6] as the track was not allowed to have fans due to the global pandemic.[7]
Notable drivers
- Kyle Larson - made his first sprint car start and won his first sprint car feature at the track.[3] Larson considers the speedway to be his home track.[3]
