A huge thank you to H&R Guns for putting together and sharing this video highlighting one of our local racing veterans, Chuck Kanehl. 🇺🇸🏁

Chuck is more than just a competitor at Citrus County Speedway. He is a Vietnam Veteran, Purple Heart recipient, and proud member of the Aaron A. Weaver Chapter 776 Military Order of the Purple Heart. Over the past several years, Chuck has become a familiar face in our Pro Ford division while continuing to represent and support veterans throughout our community.

As part of our Memorial Day Race on June 13th, fans will have the opportunity to sign Chuck’s race car on the grandstand side before he takes to the track later that evening. It is our privilege to recognize Chuck’s service, sacrifice, and dedication both on and off the racetrack.

Thank you Chuck, for your service to our nation and for being a valued member of the Citrus County Speedway family! 🇺🇸

⛈️Due to this weekend’s rainout, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our May 30th Honor To Our Veterans Event. The entire event has now been rescheduled to Saturday, June 13th, including the BG Southern Sprint Cars.

This was an extremely difficult decision to make, especially considering the incredible men and women we planned to honor that night, we had no choice but to move forward in postponing the event. We felt it was important to make sure this event receives the atmosphere, attention, and turnout these heroes truly deserve.

We still fully plan to honor local veterans Chuck Kanehl and Rob Roder along with all veterans, active duty military, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom during the rescheduled event on June 13th.

We appreciate everyone’s understanding and continued support, and we look forward to seeing everyone at the track soon. 🇺🇸🏁
