Pine Valley Raceway Announces Plans for 2025 Season Following Lack of Racing Since Late 2024
After news of at least three race tracks closing for various reasons in 2025, including two in the last month, it’s refreshing to hear of a track announcing plans for re-opening for the remainder of the 2025 calendar year, as well as future plans.
That’s the case for Pine Valley Raceway in Texas, which announced their future plans on both their website and social media yesterday.

The Lufkin, Texas-based track, which was built by the Bailey family, first saw racing action in 2004. It has played host to several notable events, including the Draggin’ and Pullin’ in the Pines, as well as being the host track for Rocky Mountain Race Week 2.0 in 2024.
According to sources, the track has seen a few different people step in to run the facility and/or hold the lease to the property. Despite that, the track has continued to see racing action each year.
The statement from the track is below:
