Haubstadt: Speedway, Summer Festival and Park

Haubstadt offers several reasons to visit: motorsports at a steeply banked dirt oval racetrack, the Haubstadt Sommerfest, and time at Community Park, with disc golf and picnic facilities. It is also home to a site listed on the National Register of Historic Places and regular Mass times at Sts. Peter & Paul Catholic Church. You can choose which focus suits your trip based on these specific offerings.

Motorsports and Summer Festival

Tri-State Speedway is a quarter-mile-long, steeply banked dirt oval racetrack. This makes it a clearly defined destination for visitors interested in speedway racing and motorsports. The track is located in Haubstadt, Indiana, three miles north of Interstate 64 on Highway 41. This location information helps you find the speedway on a map and plan your route along the roads mentioned.

Another reason to visit is Haubstadt Sommerfest, presented as “Southern Indiana’s Finest Bierstube.” One of its event highlights is the Laufenfest 5K. If you’re interested in sporting events, this run is a specific part of the festival to consider when planning your trip. The speedway and the festival offer different focuses for a visit: one is all about the racetrack, the other a festival featuring a named running event. You can plan your stay around whichever occasion matters most to you.

Disc Golf and Picnics at Community Park

Haubstadt Community Park offers two different ways to spend time outdoors. The disc golf course has 18 baskets, and picnicking is also permitted in the park. You can plan your visit around the course or include a picnic break. These two offerings give you specific options without requiring you to follow a set itinerary.

The park also has an air-conditioned shelter. It is available by reservation only. If you want to use the shelter during your visit, making a reservation is part of the planning process. This condition is especially important if you plan to use the shelter in addition to visiting the course or having a picnic.

Historical and Religious Points of Interest

Haubstadt State Bank was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. This makes it a specific historical point of interest for visitors who want to include local history in their interests alongside events and outdoor activities. The year refers to its addition to the Register; it does not indicate when the bank was built.

Masses are held at Sts. Peter & Paul Catholic Church in Haubstadt on Saturdays at 5 p.m. and Sundays at 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. These times offer clear guidance for anyone interested in religious services. Together with the historic listing, this point of interest adds to the picture of Haubstadt beyond its speedway, festival, and park.

Plan Your Stay Around the Reason for Your Trip

When looking for a vacation rental, you can first decide what you want your stay to center on: the racetrack, the summer festival, Community Park, or an interest in history and religious life. For directions to Tri-State Speedway, its location three miles north of Interstate 64 on Highway 41 provides specific landmarks. If you’re planning a visit to the park, remember to make a reservation if you want to use the air-conditioned shelter. You can also visit Princeton on this page as another destination.
