Montana Raceway Park, the race track in Kalispell, Montana, has ceased operations. The facility was built in 1991 and features views of the Flathead Valley and the Rocky Mountains. The track is a 1/4-mile inside and 3/8-mile outside, high banked asphalt short track.

The track regularly featured late models, hobby stocks, Legends, Hornets, and Bandoleros.

An official announcement from track officials, below, was posted on the facility’s website.

Through 30 years of racing as a cornerstone facility in the northwest, there has been a lot of ups and downs.

Today is the day where we announce that Montana Raceway Park will be closed permanently. This is not an easy decision like any decision where we know there will be heavy hearts but for the past few years, there has been constant vandalism, declining fan bases, and support. The COVID-19 crisis which has forced us to close our doors for the season will have an unsurvivable economic impact forcing our hand.

We want to wish all of our supporters the best of luck in all of your future endeavors.
