About Caney Valley Speedway
Caney Valley Speedway is a quarter mile semi banked clay oval on County Road 1300 just outside Caney, Kansas, in the far southeast corner of Montgomery County. The track bills itself as the fastest quarter mile dirt track around, and it races on Saturday nights, which makes it a natural pairing with the Friday night tracks elsewhere in the region for anyone chasing a full weekend of dirt.
A Border Town Bullring
Caney sits directly on the Oklahoma state line, and that geography shapes the place. Tulsa is about an hour south, and the track pulls cars and fans from both states, which is why its biggest B Mod special is called the Battle at the Border. Sanctioning bodies from both sides of the line run here through the season, and the pit gate on a special event night looks more like a regional show than a small town weekly.
The facility is close to town and easy to find, sitting under a mile from the junction of US 75 and US 166. For a track this size it carries a full schedule, running better than twenty nights of racing in a typical season.
Weekly Racing
The weekly program runs Saturday nights. Recent seasons have featured USRA B Mods, Factory Stocks, Pure Stocks and USRA Tuners as the core divisions, with Midwest Mods and Late Models added on bigger nights. Class sponsors change year to year and have included Smiths Auto and Tire, Toms Auto and Sales and AmeriFlex Hose and Accessories.
Gates for both the pits and the grandstands typically open at 4:30, hot laps run around 6:30, and racing starts at 7:00, moving back to 8:00 during the hottest part of the summer. Admission is priced for families, with reduced senior tickets and free or low cost entry for young children, and pit passes available for anyone who wants to be closer to the cars. Prices go up for specials, so call 620-330-0485 before a big event.
Special Events
The signature weekend is the Battle at the Border, a two day B Mod event that has carried a $5,000 top prize, usually opening the season in April with an open practice on the Thursday before.
Touring series are a regular part of the calendar. The Oil Capital Racing Series sprint cars visit multiple times a season with $1,500 to win features, the United Sprint League brings non wing sprint cars, and late model competition comes through with the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series and other regional shows. The track also books non racing entertainment such as the Monster Truck Nitro Tour, and it runs themed nights through the fall including Track or Treat and Pink Out.
Getting There and What to Know
The track is just off US 75 and US 166 near Caney, on County Road 1300. From Tulsa the drive north takes about an hour, and from Independence or Coffeyville it is a short run.
Two practical notes. First, the official track site has not kept up with current seasons, so the track's Facebook page and its MyRacePass listing are the reliable places to check the schedule and any late changes. Second, this is southeast Kansas in spring, so rainouts happen. Cancellations get posted the day of the race, and calling ahead at 620-330-0485 is the safest habit if you are driving in.
