Elko Speedway, is a 3/8 mile asphalt oval race track located in Elko New Market, Minnesota. Elko Speedway is sanctioned by Whelen All-American Series. The track is located in the former Elko portion of the newly merged city.

Divisions

The track divisions include Super Late Models, Big 8 Sportsman, Thunder Car, Legends, Power Stocks, Hornets, and Bandoleros on regular Saturday Nights. New to the 2015 season are Hornet Figure 8 races taking place on select Saturdays.

Traveling series

The ASA held races at the track, and its successor the ARCA Midwest Tour still holds events. The track has held Mid-American Stock Car Series events in their now-defunct Super Truck division.[1]

The ARCA racing series held the Akona 200, their first ever race in Minnesota, at Elko Speedway on June 2, 2012.[2] The series returned in 2013 and 2014 for the Akona 250, adding 50 laps to the event. Elko is the shortest track ARCA currently races on.
