Wall of Fame Night
The 2025 Wall of Fame Night is scheduled for Friday, July 25th, with the induction presentations being held on the start-finish line during the race intermission!
It's no secret that past race car drivers have paved the way for present-day drivers. The Hawkeye Downs Wall of Fame program honors individuals who have significantly contributed to the history and success of the speedway. Each year during the "Wall of Fame Night," new inductees, including drivers, crew members, and other influential community members, are recognized for their dedication and impact in a special ceremony on the track.
Since 2002, the Hawkeye Downs Speedway Wall of Fame program has been managed by a dedicated group of volunteers who oversee the nomination and induction processes. These volunteers play a crucial role in honoring individuals who have significantly contributed to the history and success of Hawkeye Downs Speedway. Hawkeye Downs board and staff are grateful to have a strong group of supporters to celebrate and honor Hawkeye Downs' racing community each year!
In 2025, Hawkeye Downs will celebrate five inductees into the Hawkeye Downs Wall of Fame. This year's honorees include Bob Ballard (driver, car owner), Landon Cassill (driver), Max Rogers (sprint car owner), Ken Schrader (driver), and Jim Williams (driver, fabricator).
In addition to the Wall of Fame Night, Hawkeye Downs will host its Decades of Speed Car Show beginning July 18th, through July 26th. Get all the details here.

ABOUT HAWKEYE DOWNS
Started in 1925 as Frontier Park, Hawkeye Downs quickly became a hit across the Midwest with a dirt track. The 1989 season saw the track become Iowa’s first weekly paved oval with paved pits, an enclosed tech building, MUSCO lighting, and many other outstanding features. One hundred years after opening, Hawkeye Downs Speedway and Expo Center is the only full-time weekly asphalt track in Iowa. Learn more at www.hawkeyedowns.org.
