Since 1968 Brainerd International Raceway has been a destination for racers and fans. Situated in the heart of Central Minnesota’s lake country, BIR is a favorite stop for professional and amateur racers alike because unlike other facilities, it is just minutes away from lodging, dinging, entertainment and world-class outdoor recreation like fishing, golfing and more.
