Utica Rome Speedway Fans

We’re just as disappointed as you are that we had to postpone the remainder of tonight’s event due to the weather.

As with most racetracks across the country, our rain policy states that once all heat races have been completed, the event is considered official and rain checks are no longer valid in the event of a rainout.

That said, we want to do something special for our loyal fans.

Admission to the Richie Evans 61 Memorial portion of the event on June 14 will be FREE FOR EVERYONE. No ticket stub is required. Didn't come tonight? No problem. FREE ADMISSION. This is ONLY for the completion of tonight’s modified event.

Following the conclusion of the 61-lap Modified feature, the grandstands will be cleared and prepared for the full, originally scheduled Alex Friesen Memorial event. Anyone wishing to remain for that event will need to purchase a ticket.

We sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued support of Utica Rome Speedway, and we look forward to seeing you on June 14. Thank you for being the best fans in racing!
