Big Sky Country State Fair

Motor Sports

The Freedom Four Wheel Motorsports Arena is back — and this year, the stakes are higher, the engines are louder, and the mud is deeper.

Mud Drag Race

Saturday, July 18th

Session 1: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM | Session 2: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Two sessions. One brutal battlefield. Competitors go head-to-head in side-by-side pit tracks packed with mud, pushing their trucks and off-road machines to the limit. Roaring engines, flying dirt, and fierce rivalries — the Mud Drag Race is raw motorsports at its finest. Can’t make the first session? Catch the afternoon rematch and watch the chaos unfold all over again.

Tough Truck & Side by Side Race

Sunday, July 19th 10:30 AM – 2:30 PM

After its jaw-dropping debut at the 2025 Fair, the Tough Truck Race is back and ready to top itself. Four hours of punishment, power, and pure grit as drivers battle it out for bragging rights in one of the most demanding competitions on wheels. Don’t blink — you won’t want to miss a second.
