Placerville Speedway

Placerville Speedway is a 1/4 mile dirt track located in Placerville at the El Dorado County fairgrounds in the Sierra Nevada foothills of eastern California.

History

The track began in 1965 as "Hangtown Speedway".

On November 20, 2019, the speedway held the Elk Grove Ford Hangtown 100, a 100-lap, $20,000-to-win USAC National Midget Series race which was won by Kyle Larson. It was the first time that the national midgets raced at the track. That same year, the World of Outlaws sprint cars made their first appearance at the track in approximately twenty years. In 2020, the weekly races were broadcast on FloRacing as the track was not allowed to have fans due to the global pandemic.

Notable drivers

• Kyle Larson - made his first sprint car start and won his first sprint car feature at the track. Larson considers the speedway to be his home track. Larson and brother-in-law Brad Sweet both co-own series that participate there and promote those events on the schedule (NARC - Sweet, High Limit by both). In October 2025, Larson became a partner in promoting the Hangtown 100.
