About Silver Dollar Speedway

Silver Dollar Speedway is a dirt oval speedway located at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds in Chico, California. Racing at the fairgrounds dates to the mid-20th century, and the Gold Cup Race of Champions relocated to Silver Dollar Speedway in 1980. The venue is located on the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds and is promoted and operated by SLC Promotions.

The speedway is best known for Friday-night auto racing, including winged and non-winged sprint cars, along with touring-series dirt racing events. Its event calendar includes the Gold Cup Race of Champions, High Limit Racing, and the Fall Nationals, with a racing season that typically runs from spring through fall and marquee events arriving in late summer and early fall.

Silver Dollar Speedway is one of Northern California’s most respected dirt sprint car tracks and remains closely tied to the Gold Cup Race of Champions, a marquee event that has called the track home since 1980.

Location & Transportation

Silver Dollar Speedway is located at 2357 Fair Street, Chico, CA 95928 — on the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds in Chico.

Driving and Parking: Driving is the practical way to reach Silver Dollar Speedway. On-site fairgrounds parking is available, and arriving early on major race nights helps avoid congestion in the lots and at the gates.

Transit: Chico is served by B-Line bus service, but direct transit to the fairgrounds is not the primary access method for most visitors. Fans using local transit should build in extra time before the race.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft operate in Chico, and rideshare drop-off and pickup at the fairgrounds are feasible. After major events, availability and wait times can stretch in a smaller market, so it helps to plan your ride home before the final laps.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is available throughout Chico, with hotel concentrations near Highway 99 and the Chico Municipal Airport area. Those areas are a short drive from the fairgrounds and offer practical access for race weekends.

Venue Navigation

Silver Dollar Speedway is an open-air fairground speedway built around a quarter-mile dirt oval, with grandstand viewing focused on the racing surface. Understanding the layout before you arrive helps you choose the right arrival time, get through the fairgrounds gates, and settle into the grandstand before the racing program begins.

Entrances and Access: Entry is through the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds gates, with access to the grandstand area surrounding the oval. Major event nights can draw larger crowds, so getting to the gate early gives you more time for ticketing and seating.

Seating Levels: Seating is organized around open-air grandstands facing the quarter-mile dirt track. General grandstand seating is the standard setup, while pit and infield areas are used for credentialed participants.

Getting to Your Section: Grandstand seating is typically open, so arriving early is the best way to secure preferred viewing along the front stretch. For major events, fans often target sightlines near the start/finish line for the clearest view of the racing action.

How Much Do Tickets to Silver Dollar Speedway Cost?

Silver Dollar Speedway ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the race series, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from weekly Friday-night racing to marquee events like the Gold Cup Race of Champions and High Limit Racing.

Weekly Friday-night racing general admission tickets can start at approximately $15–$25. These race nights are typically the most affordable way to experience the speedway’s regular sprint car and auto racing atmosphere.

Marquee events such as the Gold Cup Race of Champions and High Limit Racing typically run higher, with tickets around $30–$75 or more for premium or multi-night packages. Pricing can rise with event tier, purse size, field strength, and demand for reserved or package options.

For marquee events such as the Gold Cup, buying earlier secures better availability and pricing. As inventory shrinks and race night approaches, the best remaining options can become more expensive.

Silver Dollar Speedway Seating Guide

Best Seats at Silver Dollar Speedway

• Best value: General admission grandstand seating — the standard affordable option for race nights, with access to the speedway atmosphere and broad views of the oval.
• Closest to the action: Lower grandstand rows near the track and turns — these put fans closest to the dirt racing surface and the speed of the cars.
• Best overall experience: Front-stretch grandstand seats near the start/finish line — these typically offer the strongest vantage point for the full rhythm of the race, including starts, finishes, and victory-lane moments.
• General admission: General admission grandstand seating is standard at Silver Dollar Speedway, so fans who arrive early have the best shot at preferred sightlines.

Getting Ready for Your Silver Dollar Speedway Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an outdoor dirt-track fairground venue like this.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service in Chico is generally reliable, though network congestion is possible with large crowds on major event nights. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Give yourself extra time on major event nights to manage fairground parking, gate lines, and open grandstand seating.
• Wear the right footwear. Silver Dollar Speedway is an open-air dirt-track fairground facility, so expect gravel, dirt, and outdoor grandstand surfaces. Supportive shoes are the best choice.
• Dress in layers. Chico summers can be hot, while evenings can cool off for night races. Bring layers so you stay comfortable after sunset.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. For major events, early arrival helps with fairground parking and gate lines before racing begins.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
