Dirt Track Racing
Good afternoon! We are going to be watching the weather for Saturday, so we can try and make a decision early! We want to try and race but we also want to make the right decision for fans and drivers that are traveling. If races do get canceled, would you guys be interested in moving the Matt Pilant night to May 11th? If that happens, it will be back to back racing because we will still be racing on May 18th! Again, we want to make the best decision and will keep you all updated!
