FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HIGHLAND – Due to an alarming rise in COVID-19 cases in Southern Illinois, Highland Speedway officials have decided to end the 2020 racing season effective immediately. Representatives from the State of Illinois have been in touch with local leadership and voiced concerns over the track’s ability to effectively enforce social distancing measures.

Highland Speedway would like to thank our diehard fans and drivers that attended the races this year. With your support, we have laid the foundation for an even more successful 2021 racing season. You can find out more information about Highland Speedway by visiting our Facebook page or going to www.highlandspeedway.com.
 
Is this a fall out from the Summer Nationals show? I have heard that the local authorities were not happy about how the stands were packed with very few masks. I wonder if the show at I55 is now in jeopardy.
 
I'm worried about the IndyCar weekend at Gateway. Hoping the numbers improve before that week or Pritzker will ruin another event.
