SpeedFest Returning to Cordele Motor Speedway in 2026

WATCH THE WORLD CROWN 300

After two decades of being the premier kick-off to the Super Late Model and Pro Late Model Seasons, SpeedFest is set to return for its 21st running in 2026. The backdrop will be the same, at a place that has cemented the legacy of the race since its first stop there in 2012. Cordele Motor Speedway continues to host more SpeedFest events than any other venue.

The doubleheader weekend will take place on Friday, January 23rd and Saturday, January 24th. Practice and time trials will take place on Friday as a full card of racing will be contested on Saturday.

The ASA Southern Super Series will kick off its 14th season in 2026 and will once again co-sanction the race with the ASA/CRA Super Series. The umbrella of the CRA Super Series reaches back to the birth of SpeedFest in Florida back in 2005.

The JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour presented by Chevrolet Performance will once again sanction the Pro Late Model portion of the race. All 13 events that have been held at Cordele have been under the JEGS/CRA sanction.

Both CRA and Cordele founded a partnership in 2012, and now more SpeedFest events have been run in central Georgia than any other venue. Bubba Pollard won at SpeedFest in 2025, his fourth-straight win in the event.

SpeedFest will again feature Super Late Model action for 150 laps. The race will be a non-points event for the ASA/CRA Super Series and the ASA Southern Super Series. Joining the Super Late Models will be the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Pro Late Models. They will battle for 100-laps as they make their 14th appearance at the Cordele track.
