Selinsgrove Speedway To Open May 9 Without Fans

Live Pay Per View, Non-Social 410 Sprint Car Race Scheduled

Selinsgrove, Pa – In an effort to provide and promote a forum for local auto racing during the current COVID– 19 Pandemic environment, Selinsgrove Speedway has partnered with The Cushion to undertake a first-of-its-kind event at the track coming up on Saturday, May 9, when it presents “Posse Unleashed,” a non-spectator, live stream pay per view ONLY 410 sprint car race at 7 pm.

Presented by Slivinski Law Offices of Selinsgrove and Middleburg, the non-spectator event for the Modern Heritage 410 sprint cars will be carried live on The Cushion, at www.thecushion.com.

The price to view the event is $24.95 with all purchase details available at www.thecushion.com.  The race carries a raindate of May 10.

There will be no general admission for this special, competitor-only, non-social, “Posse Unleashed” event at Selinsgrove Speedway.

The Modern Heritage 410 sprint cars will race for $4,000 to win and $400 to start run under the current Pennsylvania Speedweek format, including time trials.

“As a key facility in the region, we’re happy to take the lead in this effort,” says promoter Alan Kreitzer.

“We see this as a viable option to get racing underway during this trying time for the sport, the teams and really for everyone being effected by the current pandemic situation.”

The event will require pre-entry for all teams at a price of $225 each that will include a total of six (6) pit admissions including five for team members plus one for the driver. This price includes admission cost, entry fee and credit card surcharge.

There will be absolutely NO raceday pit admission sales. Teams must be pre-entered to compete.   

Teams are encouraged to pre-enter immediately as the field will be limited by social distancing requirements.

To reserve a spot in the field, teams must email promoter@selinsgrovespeedway.com with the team/driver name, car number and a contact phone number before 7 pm on Thursday, May 7.

A return call will be made to all entrants in order to finalize all purchases and complete pre-entry.  Admission tickets will be distributed upon arrival at the race.

“Selinsgrove Speedway maintains its commitment to our fans, race teams and sponsors and we hope to return to the planned 2020 schedule as soon as possible,” confirms Selinsgrove Speedway General Manager Steve Inch.

“The situation is rapidly changing for all of us all the time and we will evaluate our ongoing schedule as the situation warrants and make announcements about our plans as quickly as possible as we progress,” notes promoter Mike Heffner.

“This opportunity to partner with The Cushion gives us a great chance to get racing but it also guides us toward presenting the sort of programming that The Cushion specializes in and that’s sprint car racing,” says Heffner.

“Posse Unleashed” pit gates will open at 5 pm on May 9 with time trials getting underway at 7 pm. Pit concessions will be in operation.

Snyder County, in which the speedway is located, saw its “Stay At Home” measures lifted by Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolfe on Friday, in favor of aggressive mitigation that will allow the oval to stage a non-social event.

Teams will be required to adhere to all social distancing guidelines and current pandemic rules and regulations to include the wearing of facemasks.  All attendees are asked to supply their own face coverings.

Outlaw Speedway Season Remains In Holding Pattern

DUNDEE, NY – “As badly as we want to race, we are still not able to do so for the foreseeable future, stated Outlaw Speedway owner/promoter, Tyler Siri. “We have been in constant communication with New York State relevant to opening the track and at this point we cannot even legally open for practice.”

The track has been approached by numerous teams requesting renting the facility for practice. “We want to get this track open as quickly as possible, stated Siri, but the NYS protocol continues to dictate our every move. If we try to open even for practice without any fans in attendance, we run the risk of heavy fines to say nothing about jeopardizing the rest of our season being shut down by state authorities. We have no choice but to continue to play by the rules.”

The track is not going to make promises that they cannot keep regarding any premature openings for either practice of an actual night of organized race competition. “We ARE NOT going to play games with our racers and fans. There are several teams out there that would have to spend a lot of money to get ready for practice just to find out it is not going to happen. That is not fair to the teams and again it puts the track as well as short track racing in this region in jeopardy to say nothing about stiff fines and penalties. The tracks that think they are going to open at this point are only kidding themselves and shortchanging the fans and race teams,” said Siri.

“We are not putting either ourselves, our drivers and race teams, employees, fans and sponsors in a position where we risk throwing away the entire season by not playing by the rules.” Outlaw Speedway has joined forces with numerous other race venues across New York State. This coalition is geared to put pressure on state officials to lax some of the strict regulations allowing tracks to reopen sooner than later using practices that will ensure the health and safety of all participants.

NASCAR Cancels Martinsville Weekend

DAYTONA BEACH, FL -On Friday NASCAR announced that the scheduled events on May 8-9 at Va.’s Martinsville Speedway were postponed. The event was to include not only the Cup series, but a Friday night under the lights event for NASCAR’s Whelen Modified Tour.

It’s NASCAR’s intention to run all 36 Cup races, with a potential return to racing without fans in attendance in May at a date and location to be determined. The next scheduled Cup series event is a two-race weekend in Charlotte, N.C. that concludes with the World 600 on Sunday, May 24th of Memorial Day weekend. That event and the Cup All-Star race scheduled for May 16th would be prime events held without fans in attendance since the track is located in the heart of where the teams are located, but NASCAR would need state approval to do so.

While the Cup series has already started, NASCAR’s Modified series has postponed season openers at Va.’s South Boston Speedway, Thompson and Stafford in Conn. The Martinsville postponement moves the May 8th event at the western Pa. town of Jennerstown as the new opener followed by the rescheduled Spring Sizzler at Stafford slated for May 30th and 31st. Stafford is hoping to begin it’s regular Friday night season a week earlier on Friday, May 22.

The one exception is in Quebec where a recent Provincial Government executive order banned, in effect, sporting events through August.

I’m confident we eventually hold races but we also want to make sure it’s safe for all to attend.”

The weekend was filled with the Highbank Holdup 60 for the DIRTcar 358-Modified Series and DIRTcar Central Region Sportsman Series events, the Empire Super Sprints and Fulton’s own Late Models. “I talked to Dean (Reynolds) quite a bit over the last few weeks. While we had our fingers crossed and just hope something would break it was the best decision by far,” Reed went on, “With this being a weekend event and with the uncertainty of when we all will be racing, we will just cancel. When we get back all the tracks will want to open up and run, we just don’t want to interfere with weekly scheduling.”

Fulton is scheduled to resume weekly racing on May 2. “Of course, May 2 is very tentative but we will be ready if the government officials give us the green light and it’s safe. We just encourage everyone to watch our social media.”

  OUTLAW SPEEDWAY FORCED TO CANCEL 2020 ARNOT MALL CAR SHOW

(Dundee, NY) Timing is everything and such is the case with this year’s 2020 Outlaw Speedway Arnot Mall Car Show presented by Lane’s Yamaha.  With ever raising concerns of the Corona Virus and following along with state and federal protocol, representatives of the Arnot Mall notified Outlaw Speedway that the Annual Car Show event would have to be cancelled.

“We opted to hold our car show late this year and it bit us, stated Outlaw Speedway owner/promoter, Tyler Siri. We had numerous other car shows that we attended prior to our own show so we opted to go with our show at the Arnot Mall just prior to race season.   A lot of things have changed over the past couple weeks with all the new rules being put in place by the state and federal governments relevant to public gatherings. Things have been virtually changing on a daily basis.  Sometimes on an hourly basis.  Really this is out of our control so we will just move on and prepare for our practice dates and season opener.”

As of this writing the two scheduled open practice dates set for April 3 and 10, 2020 are still set to go as well as the season opener on Saturday, April 11 with the Cindy Lane Memorial Lucas Oil Nationals.

“At this point we are still planning on practice and racing as scheduled, however that could all change in the upcoming days.  Again, we are pretty much at the mercy of the State of New York and the Federal Government.  It’s almost like dealing with Mother Nature and rain outs.  A lot of these things are uncontrollable, and we must roll with it.  It’s a matter of public safety and we all want to do our part.”  That again according to Siri.

For those that had planned on attending the Arnot Mall Car Show to either purchase 2020 season passes, pay for reserved seats or seasonal towers they can do so by going to the tracks Facebook account and follow the necessary procedures.  The same holds true with the all new Outlaw Speedway apparel.  In any case business can still be conducted thru the mail.

Siri along with his partner, Jordan Lynch would like to thank all the drivers that had registered cars for this years show as well as all those that had acknowledged on attending as far as sponsors, fans, employees and crew members.

In addition, the management would like to especially thank representatives of Lane’s Yamaha of Watkins Glen for their continued support of the car show as well as Goodrich Auto Works and Goody’s Graphics for sponsoring the Tire Changing Competition.

“There are far worse things in this world than having to cancel the car show, stated Siri.  The Corona Virus must be taken seriously and we are just trying to do our part in not promoting the spread of the disease.  We want to thank all of our supporters in their understanding during these most difficult times.”
