Veteran of the Night
Hawkeye Downs is honored to recognize our local heroes and share an evening with our nation’s veterans at the races. On scheduled weekly race nights, Hawkeye Downs and our community partners welcome one veteran to celebrate their commitment to our country and show our support and gratitude for their service.
Additionally, Hawkeye Downs Speedway staff would like to invite veterans in our community to a night at the track with discounted admission. Admission for active duty military and veterans is just $9 for weekly racing events. More information on weekly racing admission can be found here. Tickets are available at the gate.
