Here is the much-anticipated 2026 Darana Raceway-Hebron schedule!  
 
As you can see there are a few new events for 2026, which we are excited to host or be a part of. The season kicks off with Test N Tune's, followed by the popular spring Import Face Off April 19th.  
On April 22nd the Wednesday Night Series makes its return with a total of five races scheduled throughout the year. These midweek events will feature box, no box, and the popular “Super Class Racing” like many remember in the 80s and 90s utilizing the “Hot Car Lanes.”  
ET bracket series roars to life April 25-26 with a total of 14 events scheduled throughout the season. Competitors will be able to claim their best 12 races to count towards overall point standings. Also, new for 2026 each Friday evening before an ET bracket weekend there will be a “slicks only” style Test N Tune followed by a gamblers race.  
On select Saturday’s during the ET bracket series racers will have the opportunity to compete in Quick 16 and 4.70 door car index racing. The structure and payouts for these classes will mirror our friends at US 60 Dragway in Louisville Kentucky, as we work collaboratively to make this style of racing the best it can be for the racer.
