Byron Dragway is a ¼-mile (402-meter) dragstrip located in Byron, Illinois, United States, about 1.5 hours from Chicago (84 miles, 134 km straight-line distance). Although the track is ¼-mile, it has timing for both ¼-mile and ⅛-mile classes.

The dragway was opened in the 1960s, and at first it ran cars four abreast. However, that practice was discontinued. For that reason, Byron is a comparatively wide track. It is currently best known as the site of the World Power Wheel Standing Championships.

Owner: Kevin Robertson
