The new tires are in at Colorado National Speedway. Tire sales start today from 3PM to 6PM and Johnny Witthar will be there to take your orders.

You can buy race tires at CNS every Tuesday and Thursday from 3 to 6PM.

The 602 crate engine for the Super Stock division is a option, not a mandatory rule addition for the 2012 season. There may have been some confusion regarding the new rule so we wanted to take this moment to make sure all the Super Stock competitors were aware that the 602 crate engine is an optional engine package and not a mandatory engine package. We hope this has helped clear up any miscommunication.

Going forward, we have no plans to make this engine the sole, mandatory option.

CNS is proud to announce that Paul Garrison will be joining the CNS staff as a senior consultant.

Paul has been associated with the track since it opened. In fact, Paul was the first person to race a lap on our track way back in 1965. We believe his knowledge and experience will be a great asset to our team. Come on out and say hi to Paul at the trade show.

CNS Management

2012 race season scheduling requires changes to be made in the pit stall rental policy. There will no longer be multiple assignments to each pit stall. Pit stalls that were assigned in 2011 are no longer available to the teams which held them in 2011.
NOTE: (Teams which have rented specific stalls for numerous years will be recognized and spaces will be held for those teams through Sunday January 29, 2012, Please reserve your pit stall at the trade show)

Pricing:
-$75.00 for an assigned pit stall for the 2012 race season. Due to limited pit stalls, we are prioritizing assignment as follows: Late Models, Sportsman then the remaining teams which had an assigned pit stall in 2011.

-$50.00 for a limited guaranteed floating pit stall for 2012 race season. Teams wanting to have a guaranteed pit stall on their scheduled night of racing can now purchase a $50.00 floating pit rental. These preferred spots will be coned off and made available between pit gate opening through 1:00 pm when the track becomes hot. Race teams who have purchased a floating pit stall will be directed to a preferred stall by our security team.

-All assigned and floating pit stalls will be coned off. All remaining open stalls will be filled on a first come first serve basis.

Please speak with us to reserve your pit stall at the trade show:
