Flat track racing is adding another short track stop to its national schedule. Progressive American Flat Track will head to Belle-Clair Fairgrounds Park Speedway for its inaugural visit on Saturday, May 22, 2027.
The event runs under the title Belleville Bull Ring Bash. The race will feature top dirt track riders and manufacturer teams competing on the short track clay. AMA Pro Racing is organizing the stop in partnership with Belle-Clair Speedway operator Curtis Francois. The Belleville, Illinois facility reopened in 2026 after a full renovation that brought in upgraded amenities and a modernized clay surface.
For riders around the Midwest, this puts a fresh destination on the calendar. Dirt track racing is the historic foundation of American motorcycle competition. Adding a rebuilt bullring near St. Louis gives local fans a close-up look at pro competition on a fresh dirt surface.
Will you be making the run to Belleville for the bash in May 2027?
