NIGHTMARE ON BOWIE STREET POSTPONED

Due to the weather forecast, this Saturday’s Nightmare on Bowie Street at Hartford Speedway has been postponed.

The current forecast is calling for heavy rain overnight and continuing through Saturday afternoon. With the amount of rain expected, we have made the decision to postpone the event rather than try to fight the weather.

The tentative reschedule date is Saturday, October 24th.

If we are able to hold the event on October 24th, the lineup will include:

🏁 $3,000 to Win Midwest Compacts
🏁 $1,000 to Win Super Troopers
🏁 $1,000 to Win Enduro
🏁 Demolition Derby — We are working on the details and will make sure the date does not interfere with TNT rules/events.

POINTS UPDATE

The Hartford Speedway Cyber Stocks and Super Trooper points seasons are now concluded.

The October 24th event, if held, will be points for the Midwest Compacts only. Cyber Stocks and Super Troopers will race as non-points events.

One more important note: If the October 17th Night of Destruction event is lost to weather for any reason, please be prepared for the Nightmare on Bowie Street event to move to Friday, October 23rd.

We know this is disappointing, especially after all the work that goes into preparing for an event like this. We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding as we work through the weather and the remaining 2026 schedule.

We will continue to monitor everything and release official updates as soon as decisions are made.

Thank you to all of our drivers, teams, sponsors and fans for your continued support of the Nightmare on Bowie Street and Midwest Compacts.
