Port Royal Speedway–
PORT ROYAL, Penn. (April 23, 2020)- As a result of continued
restrictions put in place via Governor Tom Wolf prohibiting large
gatherings in the state of Pennsylvania due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
the Port Royal Speedway has made the difficult decision to suspend all
racing activities for the 2020 season until further notice.
Original
plans were to cancel/postpone racing at the Speedway for the month of
April with the intentions of revisiting possible racing in May. However,
with the restrictions still in place and without having a clear idea of
when large gatherings would be allowed, it became clear to Speedway
officials that this was the proper route to take.
The
safety of our employees, drivers and fans remain a priority and we will
continue to monitor the situation in coordination with federal, state,
local and public health officials, along with information based on the
recommendations of the CDC to make the best decisions in regards to a
return to racing.
We
understand the severity of the situation and will continue to do our
part to ensure our fellow Pennsylvanians remain healthy and safe. From
the Juniata County Agricultural Society, track officials and promoters
and everyone who makes racing possible weekly at the Speedway, we thank
you for your patience and understanding and look forward to returning to
racing as soon as possible.
We
will continue to provide updates regarding any possible changes
regarding racing, season ticket information and more via our website www.portroyalspeedway.com along with our various social media outlets via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat
