This is considered race #2 on the calendar.(Includes Dustin Duffy Memorial Race). Points Race #2. Once we have some more information from the Memorial creators, I will let you all know! We are even more excited to see everyone!

ATTENTION!! We know it is early but we wanted to let everyone know that we are postponing the 2026 opener for this Saturday due to unforseen circumstances including weather, graduations and staffing. With the forecast calling for rain starting today and going through the weekend, expensive fuel prices, and many graduations, we feel that this was in the best interest of our racers and UPS. We try to give you the best possible track to race on but we also understand family and circumstances.

We will open our 2026 season on June 6th for the Dustin Duffy memorial. See you all then!!

We haven't shared many prep pictures yet but with the help of some friends we have the equipment going. With other friends and family we have been working on the lighting, the clean up & the track prep.
Brett has been up there every night for the last week, almost 2 working on things. We can't wait to see everyone! Enjoy a few pictures (starting from tonight because it looks so pretty and going backwards to pictures on the lift).

Heartbreaking! Another reminder that life can be short and can be so many unexpected. As. Racing family, our thoughts are with Kyle Busch's family!

We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport's greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old.

We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.
