Editor’s Note: A previous version of this article contained incorrect information about shuttles during SpeedFest. The shuttles are operating from Leona Libby Middle School out to Tri-City Raceway and Red Mountain Event Center back and forth every 30 minutes starting at 3 p.m. ending at 8 p.m.

Cool Desert Nights is merging with Hogs and Dogs this year to create a three-day SpeedFest 2022 event.

The event is June 24-26, with different events each day.

A car swap is 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on June 24 and 25, and bus routes will be available from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on both days.
