Officials with SpeedFest, Track Enterprises, and Cordele Motor Speedway have announced that SpeedFest 2026 has been rescheduled and will now be contested as part of the 14th Annual Georgia Summer Nationals, featuring a SpeedFest / SuperFest doubleheader weekend on Friday–Saturday, July 31–August 1.
The rescheduled event will showcase two nights of top-tier Super Late Model competition, with the ASA Southern Super Series headlining the weekend. Super Late Models will race both Friday and Saturday nights, with $10,000 to win each night, creating one of the most lucrative and competitive summer weekends of the season.
In addition to the Super Late Models, a wide variety of divisions will compete throughout the Georgia Summer Nationals weekend, including:
Southern Pro Series Pro Late Models
Modifieds of Mayhem
Pro Trucks
Outlaws
Enduros
Legends And Bandolero
Full event details, including which divisions will compete on each night, the complete race format, and schedule information, will be released in the near future.
SpeedFest 2026 was originally scheduled for January 23–24, but was postponed due to travel concerns stemming from a winter storm system impacting much of the country. Following extensive coordination among series officials, the speedway, Track Enterprises, and participating teams, the decision was made to postpone the event.
Fans who purchased advance-sale tickets for the originally scheduled SpeedFest event will receive refunds back to their original method of payment. Once online ticketing for the rescheduled event becomes available, fans will be able to repurchase tickets for the July 31–August 1 weekend.
Officials expressed excitement about incorporating SpeedFest into the Georgia Summer Nationals weekend, creating a marquee midsummer event featuring two nights of major Super Late Model racing and a deep lineup of fan-favorite divisions.
Additional announcements, including ticketing information and event schedules, will be released soon.
