Harry Neitzel Tribute returns to Dodge County Fairgrounds in 2026
With the IRA’s 60th Anniversary Season drawing ever closer, the annual Harry Neitzel Tribute will once again feature on the 2026 schedule, returning to the fan-favorite “Horsepower Half-Mile” at the Dodge County Fairgrounds.
The MSA 360 sprint cars and another support class that will be announced at a later date will join the Bumper to Bumper / Auto Value IRA Outlaw Sprint Series on Friday, September 4th for a high speed showdown on the fearsome half-mile oval located just outside Beaver Dam, WI.
The event will once again pay tribute to IRA and Wisconsin racing legend Harry Neitzel. The most recent event winner was New Zealand sprint car champion Max Guilford, taking the top step on the podium at Beaver Dam Raceway in 2025 with 2x series champion Jake Blackhurst, Danny Schlafer, Tyler Tischendorf and Kyle Schuett completing the top 5 runners.
The addition of the Dodge County Fairgrounds on September 4th creates a triple header weekend to kick off the final month of action for the IRA. After the Friday stop in Beaver Dam, the series will begin a trek north with a Saturday trip to the 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, WI and finish Sunday in Door County at The Hill Raceway on September 6th.
Stay tuned for more news on the IRA’s 60th Anniversary season in the coming days!
