​We're sorry to say that Night at the Oval is cancelled for 2020.

Hawkeye Downs is closed.

USAC has suspended all racing through May and is already cancelling and postponing national championship races into September. 

Even as many states begin to "open up," all we can do is wait and hope for the best.

There is no social distancing in a pack event like Night at the Oval.

​There is no way we want to risk people's health by going ahead with the event this summer.

Our sponsors will be back with us for 2021.
Meanwhile, please check out the CRANDIC Social Distancing Time Trial Series, running now through August.

Way   Back   When   in   2019...

Night at the Oval is an omnium: multiple short races, each scored separately  –  1st place is 1 point, 2nd place is 2 points, etc  –  the rider with the fewest points at the end of the night wins their category. "Most of the races are track based," explains USACycling's Larry Howe. But don't worry, each race is explained along the way.

"Devil Takes the Hindmost, Snowball, Points Race. We also do Scratch Races and use different track configurations such as the Big C to put some corners in like a criterium. With enough riders we can even run two groups at the same time."

"We break the riders out in self-selected groups, A,B,C, etc. We can do a junior's group or a women's group if we have enough of either. We try to mix things up so riders never quite know what to expect."
