❤️🏁 FROM OUR FAMILY AT PARADISE RACEWAY — THANK YOU 🏁❤️
After finally getting a chance to breathe and reflect on this past weekend, we want to take a moment to say something that sometimes gets lost in the chaos of race day…
THANK YOU.
Thank you to every single racer, family, crew member, sponsor, vendor, and supporter who came through the gates for the 2026 Labor Day Bash.
476 ENTRIES.
For a ONE-DAY SHOW.
We honestly cannot thank you enough for trusting us with your Labor Day weekend. We know how much time, money, preparation, and sacrifice goes into coming to the races, and we don't take that for granted.
Was the day perfect? Absolutely not.
We know the day ran much later than anyone wanted, and we sincerely apologize for the late-night track conditions and the length of the day. There were several different things that contributed to what happened with the track, and we will be addressing those issues.
We aren't going to make excuses. We own it. We hear you. And we WILL do better.
We also stepped outside the box and tried a different format this weekend — Practice → Qualify → Heat → Main. We've already heard from a lot of racers who really enjoyed this format, and that means a lot to us. We appreciate everyone being willing to try something different and giving us your honest feedback.
🔥 And then there was the Dirty Tire Class… 🔥
31 ENTRIES and absolutely phenomenal feedback!
That class was something we were excited about, and seeing the response from the racers made it worth it. We are looking forward to continuing to build on it.
And when it was all said and done…
💰 $78,000 PAID OUT IN PRIZE MONEY 💰
🏁 165 PEOPLE RECEIVED A PAYOUT 🏁
That is something we are extremely proud of.
We put a lot of time, money, sweat, stress, and heart into trying to give racers a great place to come race and a chance to take money home. We don't always get everything right, but our intentions have always been to give back to the racing community and make Paradise Raceway a place people WANT to come to.
To those who stayed with us through the long night — thank you.
To those who were frustrated — we understand.
To those who offered constructive criticism — we heard you.
And to those who continued to support us even when things didn't go exactly as planned — you will never know how much that means to us.
At the end of the day, Paradise Raceway isn't just a track.
It's our family.
It's our passion.
It's our livelihood.
And most importantly, it's a place built for racers.
We may not always agree on everything, but we promise we're listening. We will take what happened this weekend, learn from it, fix what needs to be fixed, and come back stronger.
476 entries. $78,000 paid out. 165 payouts. 31 Dirty Tire racers. One VERY long day. 😂🏁
We couldn't have done any of it without YOU.
From the bottom of our hearts…
THANK YOU for supporting Paradise Raceway. ❤️
We'll see you at the track. 🏁🔥
