Due to expected cold weather this weekend, the Keystone Cup will be moved to Saturday and Sunday. With cold overnight temperatures we have made the decision to move our racing program to Saturday and Sunday afternoons, where we will be able to start the races earlier.

The Late Models will compete on Saturday only, racing in a single day 50 lap feature event, paying $20,000 to win and $1,000 to start. The Modifieds and Crown Vics will also race on Saturday. Read more »
