Some events you watch. Some events you feel. Night of Destruction is the second kind.
Mansfield Speedway's first-ever Night of Destruction was originally set for Sunday, May 3 — but Ohio weather had other plans. The event has been postponed and a new date is on the way. Read below for what that means for ticket holders.
When we lock in the new date, you'll be the first to know. This one sells out — keep your tickets.

Thanks to Ohio's signature spring weather, the original May 3 date is off. We're working on a rescheduled date now and will lock it in as soon as conditions allow. Here's exactly what happens next:
- All ticket holders will be notified directly the moment the new date is set — by email and on TheSpeedway.com.
- Your ticket is automatically valid at the rescheduled Night of Destruction. Nothing to do, no exchange needed.
- Can't make the new date? Your ticket is honored at face value toward any other 2026 Mansfield Speedway event.
- Picking a more expensive event? Just pay the difference. Easy swap.
Hold onto your tickets. We'll handle the rest.
What is Night of Destruction?
Night of Destruction is a full-on demolition derby event — cars, chaos, and a crowd that's on its feet the entire time. It's produced by Fair Derby, one of the most experienced demolition derby operators in the Midwest, and it's coming to Mansfield Speedway's freshly rebuilt dirt oval for the first time.
If you've never been to a demolition derby, here's what you need to know: drivers go side by side in a walled arena with one goal — be the last car running. No laps. No strategy. Just controlled chaos until one car is left standing.
It's louder than you expect. It's more fun than you expect. And it's the kind of night that gets talked about for weeks.

Who should come
Night of Destruction is one of those rare events that works for everyone. Here's who it's perfect for:
- Families — kids go absolutely wild for this. Kids 10 and under get in free, and there's nothing age-appropriate about the action (in the best way).
- Groups — this is peak group night out energy. Buy a row, bring everyone, lose your voice.
- First-timers — if you've never been to a motorsports event before, Night of Destruction is the perfect entry point. No prior knowledge required — you'll understand everything within 30 seconds of the first heat.
- Die-hards — you already know. See you there.

Don't wait on tickets
Night of Destruction is the kind of event that sells out. The grandstands hold a lot of people, but not unlimited people. Lock in your tickets now and you're set the second we announce the new date.
