4th Annual Speedway Motors MPH Invitational returns to Granite City Motor Park this September

The WISSOTA Promoter's Association is excited to announce that the Speedway Motors WISSOTA MPH Invitational will return to Granite City Motor Park in Sauk Rapids, MN, on September 11th and 12th, 2026. Building on the successes of the 2025 event, Granite City Motor Park will host the event in 2026 and beyond as part of a multi-year ongoing partnership between WISSOTA and Granite City.

In a cooperative effort, WISSOTA staff and Granite City management are currently in the initial planning stages and are exploring several new ideas for this year's event. This invitational race will feature the WISSOTA Mod 4, WISSOTA Pure Stock, and WISSOTA Hornet classes as it has for the past three seasons. As plans are finalized, details will be made available to the public, but for now, fans and drivers should make plans to be at Granite City on September 11th and 12th for the always entertaining Speedway Motors WISSOTA MPH Invitational.

Although the 2025 event was plagued with less than cooperative weather, it was an overall great event which saw Keith Thell (Mod Fours), Jake Smith (Pure Stocks) and Anthony Jensen (Hornets) each race to their first Speedway Motors WISSOTA MPH titles.

The event was previously held at the Bemidji Speedway in Bemidji, MN in 2023 and 2024.
Prior event winners:
WISSOTA Mod 4: Tommy Pogones (2023) and Dustin Holtquist (2024)
WISSOTA Pure Stock: Dustin Puffe (2023) and Brent Mindock (2024)
WISSOTA Hornet: Jenna Hagemann (2023 and 2024)

Without great marketing partners, events like this are not able to be successful, so if anyone is looking to be part of this great event along with the Speedway Motors WISSOTA 100 please contact Nikki Cook (763) 238-0053
