Celebrate Mom with Dirt Track Thrills at Diamond Mountain Speedway
If you are looking to trade the traditional brunch for high-octane excitement this year, Diamond Mountain Speedway has the perfect plan. On Saturday, May 9th, the engines will roar to life for a special Mother’s Day racing event designed to celebrate all the amazing moms in our community.
Brought to you by race promoter Berglund Racing and the Diamond Mountain Casino and Hotel, this evening promises a blend of family-friendly fun and heart-pounding, action-packed dirt track racing.
In a special tribute to mothers, the Speedway is offering a great deal to help them join in on the fun. Mothers can secure a seat in the grandstands for just $5 or choose to get closer to the action with pit entry for only $20. It is a fantastic opportunity to treat Mom to an unforgettable night of speed and local tradition without breaking the bank.
The day kicks off early with the pits opening at 2:00p.m. for those who want to see the cars and crews up close. The grandstands open their gates at 5:00, giving fans plenty of time to find the perfect vantage point before the green flag drops and racing officially starts at 6:00.
Regular grandstand admission is set at $15 for adults, while seniors over the age of 65 and children aged 5 to 17 can enter for $10. In a wonderful gesture of appreciation, veterans and children under the age of 5 receive free grandstand admission. For fans looking for the full pit experience, general admission is $40, with a discounted rate of $25 for seniors and kids aged 5 to 17. As always, the youngest race fans under 5 enter the pits for free.
To make your visit even smoother, Diamond Mountain Speedway is pleased to announce that they are now able to accept credit cards at the gate. Whether you are a lifelong racing enthusiast or looking for a unique way to spend a Saturday night with mom and the family, head out to the track this May 9th to honor Mom with a night of dirt-flying excitement!
