Double-Header Weekend at Springfield Mile
Get ready for one of the most iconic weekends in American motorsport! The Springfield Mile Double-Header Weekend returns to the legendary Springfield Mile at the Illinois State Fairgrounds on September 5–6, 2026, bringing two full days of heart-pounding American Flat Track championship racing to one of the sport’s most storied venues.
