If you've never spent a Saturday night at a dirt track, Creek County Speedway is a perfect place to start. Tucked right along Historic Route 66 between Kellyville and Sapulpa, this quarter-mile clay oval has been kicking up dust and drawing crowds since 1985, when the Hahn family carved it out of the Oklahoma red dirt. Decades later it's still one of the most beloved short tracks in the region.
Where: 18450 OK-66, Sapulpa/Kellyville, OK 74039 (on Route 66)
Track: 1/4-mile dirt oval, established 1985
Season: Roughly spring through fall, with weekly race nights and special events
From Heyburn RV: just a short hop up Route 66
What kind of racing?
Creek County is a sprint-car town at heart. Across the season you'll catch winged and non-winged sprints along with modifieds, stock cars, and other classes on weekly programs. The track also hosts marquee touring events that pull national talent and big crowds — series like the ASCS sprint cars, the POWRi Turnpike Challenge, and even a World of Outlaws stop. If you want to see the fastest dirt racers in the country slinging clay, the big-event nights are worth planning a trip around.
What to expect
Short-track racing is loud, close, and a whole lot of fun. Cars run inches apart, the leaders lap traffic, and the whole grandstand leans into every restart. It's family-friendly and affordable — a great night out for kids and grandparents alike. Expect concessions (burgers, nachos, and cold drinks), a pit area you can sometimes walk through, and the unmistakable smell of methanol and dirt.
First-timer tips
- Bring ear protection. Sprint cars are loud — earplugs or earmuffs make the night better, especially for little ones.
- Pack a seat cushion. Aluminum bleachers get hard after a few features.
- Dress for dust. Wear clothes you don't mind getting a little dirt on, and bring a light layer for after sundown.
- Bring cash. It moves the concession and admission lines along faster.
- Check the schedule first. Weather and season affect race nights — always confirm the current schedule with the track before you head out.
