FAIRMONT, Minn. — August 29, 2026 — The Fairmont Raceway family is asking everyone in our racing community to keep Cade Lehr and his family in their thoughts and prayers following a serious medical emergency Friday evening.

Cade suffered a heart attack while at Fairmont Raceway. Track emergency personnel evaluated him and strongly advised that he seek immediate treatment at the emergency room. Cade was later airlifted to Mayo Clinic Hospital–Saint Marys Campus in Rochester, where he underwent an emergency procedure and had two stents placed.

We are thankful to share that Cade is now up and beginning the process of recovery and adjusting to a new normal. He is expected to undergo an additional surgery on Monday, August 31.

Our entire Fairmont Raceway family extends its heartfelt love and support to Cade; his wife, Kara Lehr; his daughter, Marissa Anderson; and his son-in-law, Taylor Anderson. The racing community has always been a family, and now is the time for all of us to rally around the Lehr family as Cade continues his recovery.

We are incredibly grateful for the quick response and care provided by Fairmont Raceway’s emergency personnel, along with every medical professional who has cared for Cade throughout this frightening experience.

Please join us in sending Cade strength, encouragement and prayers in the days ahead. We wish him a successful surgery on Monday and a strong, steady recovery.

Get well soon, Cade. Your entire Fairmont Raceway family is behind you.

A big thank you to Paul Kolden with North Star Scale for getting our track scale repaired, calibrated and ready to go this week!

DRIVERS—PLEASE TAKE NOTE:

Our scale has been professionally calibrated. If your car has been close to minimum weight, make sure you adjust accordingly before Friday night.

We strongly encourage every driver who believes they may be on the light side to cross the scale after hot laps. That gives you an opportunity to verify your weight and make any necessary adjustments before racing begins.

Do not wait until after the feature to find out your car is light. The scale is dialed in, Bob Gram will be ready, and all cars must meet their required minimum weight. 🏁
