Georgetown Speedway News

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

GEORGETOWN, DE-Like race car rusting in someone’s yard for 10-years Georgetown Speedway in Georgetown, DE is in need of repairs. Since reopening last season some needed repairs have been completed, others haven’t. Most importantly the track’s electrical system is showing signs of age and lack of upkeep. Over the past month wiring problems have caused short blackouts.

“It has been frustrating over the past month or so to have the lights go out during the race evening,” admitted track spokesperson David Brown. “Fans, racers and crew members have been very understanding, but we owe it to them to provide the best night of racing possible and feel these repairs must be completed to our satisfaction before we race again,” Brown added.

Speedway staff worked all week trying to correct these wiring problems. Unfortunately the electrical problems have not been repaired forcing the speedway’s Board of Investors to cancel racing for the next two Friday nights July 20th and 27th. “We apologize to our fans and race teams for having to cancel those shows,” Brown stated adding, “The track sat idle for nearly 10- ears before we started racing again in 2006. The track saw very little maintenance during that 10-year period and things like the lights and wiring are now showing signs of failure following that long period of sitting idle.”

When racing resumes August 3rd a grand event will be added to the schedule. In memory of longtime speedway supporter Bert Ritter, who recently lost a battle with cancer, a memorial event benefiting the American Cancer Society Walk for a Cure will be held that night. Feature racing that evening will include Big Block Modifieds, Super Late Models, Crate Modified and Crate Late Models. The popular Georgetown Vintage Racing Club will also join the August 3rd show and kids will have a chance to win prizes including a chance to win a ride in the Georgetown Speedway pace car leading feature fields to the green flag. Additional news about this huge night of racing will be announced as soon as it’s finalized.

The speedway’s full schedule is online at www.georgetownspeedway.com. Racing will continue on Friday nights through September. Additional special events will be announced soon. Georgetown Speedway is located near all Maryland and Delaware beaches so fans can enjoy great Friday night racing then spend the rest of the weekend at the beautiful Delmarva shore. For more information call the speedway office at 302.684.3197.
