In a rare motorsports event, Kevin Harvick Kern Raceway will host two major races on Saturday, October 25, offering fans an unprecedented chance to experience both dirt and pavement track action in one evening at the same venue in California. This unique setup not only highlights the versatility of Kern County Raceway Park but also draws attention to the excitement building around the local racing community.
Kern Raceway Hosts Dual Racing Events on the Same Night
Earlier this year, Bakersfield Speedway announced it would be relocating its full operations, including marquee events, to the 1/3-mile dirt facility at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway. Among the highlighted races making the move was the NARC 410 Sprint Cars event, now scheduled for Saturday, October 25. At the same time, the CARS Tour West revealed their calendar includes both a Super Late Model and a Limited Pro Late Model race on that very night, bringing more energy to the venue.
What sets this Saturday apart is Kern Raceway’s capacity to run both events next to one another since the property features not just one, but two tracks. The CARS Tour West is set to compete on the high-banked half-mile paved oval, while the dirt track, located just off turn four of the facility, will provide the battleground for the NARC 410 Sprint Cars. This simultaneous use is a rarity, even among other multi-track properties like Las Vegas Motor Speedway or Texas Motor Speedway, where typically only one track operates at a time.
Special Ticket Offers and Schedule Details for Fans
To encourage fans to enjoy the full experience, Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway is offering a combo ticket priced at $32.59, allowing general admission access to both race events. The schedule is thoughtfully organized with staggered start times, making it possible for spectators to catch the main action at both venues. The asphalt track’s grandstand gates will open at 3 p.m., with main events kicking off at 4:30. Shortly after, the dirt track opens its gates at 6 p.m., with hot laps and qualifying coming up soon after gates open, ensuring fans can witness key moments on both racing surfaces.
Racing Highlights and Local Talent Expected on Track
This exceptional evening will also see Keelan Harvick, making his Super Late Model debut, challenging his father, NASCAR champion Kevin Harvick, on the pavement track—a storyline certain to ignite even more interest. Meanwhile, the dirt track promises fierce competition with skilled drivers such as DJ Netto, Bud Kaeding, Sean Becker, Dominic Gorden, and Justin Sanders vying for victory in the NARC 410 Sprint Cars event. The dual-race opportunity positions Kern Raceway among the few motorsport venues able to deliver such a packed program for dedicated fans.
How to Watch the Action from Home
In recognition that not every fan can make it to Kern Raceway on race night, both events will also be available live on FloRacing, ensuring the vibrant local motorsports scene is accessible to a broader audience, including supporters of the CARS Tour West, NARC 410 Sprint Cars, and Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway.
The simultaneous operation of these high-profile events not only showcases the adaptability of Kern County Raceway Park but also provides a significant draw for both the California racing community and motorsport enthusiasts beyond the region. With established stars like Kevin Harvick and rising talents such as Keelan Harvick on display, along with strong showings expected from sprint drivers like DJ Netto and Dominic Gorden, spectators will experience one of the most comprehensive nights of racing seen at a single property, cementing Kevin Harvick Kern Raceway as a standout stop on the motorsports calendar.
