Well, Race Fans, Mother Nature remains the point leader. Regardless of our optimism, we all know you can’t outrun the weather ☔️😩🏁

We’re beyond bummed, but the race is officially rained out and rescheduled for August 14th. Big thanks to Bloomington Speedway for doing what’s best. We know it’s never an easy call, even when it’s the right (and only) one to make. Check out their live on the announcement and grounds:

To every donor, fan, and friend who has supported us on this, you’re incredible. All donations, giveaways, and plans for the event will simply carry over to the August 14 rain date.

Thank you for sticking with us rain or shine. We can’t wait to see everyone back at the track under clearer skies! 🧡💚

Tshirts will still be available tonight for those who planned to stop by and purchase! 👕

Well… we’re into the “everyone stare aggressively at the weather apps” portion of Josh Burton Memorial week 😅🌧️

At this point we may need every prayer, rain dance, crossed finger, and anti-rain ritual we can get 🤞🏼☀️

Seriously though, we’re hoping Mother Nature gives us a break so we can all come together Friday night and to honor Josh at Bloomington Speedway!

Check out all the details below! 🧡💚🏁

🏁💰 HARD CHARGER BONUS ADDED! 💰🏁

A huge THANK YOU goes out to Leslie & Terry Prince for putting up an incredible $1,000 Hard Charger Award for this Friday’s Josh Burton Memorial at Bloomington Speedway! 🤩

The driver who advances the most positions during the feature event will take home an extra $1,000 on top of the purse money for their finishing position. That’s an unbelievably generous addition to the payout and we can’t thank them enough for helping make this race even bigger for the drivers. It should make for some exciting racing in the back of the field!🧡💚

And the bonus money doesn’t stop there…

Lovett’s construction has also added a $500 “Worst to First” bonus if the driver starting on the tail can wheel it and pull off the win! 👀🏁

Thank you again to Leslie & Terry Prince and Lovett’s Construction for supporting the Josh Burton Memorial and the drivers who put on THE SHOW!

We still have a couple sponsored finishing positions to fill if you’re interested in contributing!

05/19/2026

We’ll have some opportunities over the next couple days to grab tshirts at the Burton house for those wanting theirs before race day 👕:

⏰ Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday
5:00 - 8:00 PM each evening

Shirts are $25 each and we can’t wait to see the hill filled with these Friday night! 💚🧡

Feel free to message the page with any questions 🤙🏼

We’re so thankful to Bloomington Speedway for continuing to honor Josh and support the Josh Burton Memorial each year! 🧡💚

A lot of people may not realize it… but even with the memorial growing into one of the Speedway’s bigger nights of the season, they’ve continued to keep hill tickets at $20 general admission instead of raising them to special event pricing. We can’t tell you how much we appreciate that effort to help keep this race affordable for families and fans alike 🏁

We hope everyone will come out Friday night to support not only Josh’s memory, but also our hometown track that’s such a big part of our community. Let’s and make it another unforgettable night at Bloomington Speedway! 🤩🏆

We’re officially opening up the option to SPONSOR A FINISHING POSITION for the upcoming Josh Burton Memorial feature race! 🤩🏁

We want to give another huge THANK YOU to the amazing businesses, families, and supporters continuing to step up and contribute to this year’s Josh Burton Memorial! 🏆🏁

Additional donations towards the $10K TO WIN Sprint Feature have come in from:

• Jackman Cattle
• Freeman Land Improvements
• Todd Septic Service
• Complete Masonry Supplies Inc.
• Ty Deckard & Family
• Wilson’s Trucking
• Hinkles Hamburgers
• Steve’s Roofing & Sheet Metal
• Fox Construction

We’ve also had several businesses donate gift certificates for our driver incentive giveaways throughout the pits:

• Indy Race Parts
• Saldana Racing Products
• DRC
• CSI Shocks
• Benic Enterprises
• Hinchman Indy Racing Uniforms
• Kaizer Racing Wheels

The support behind this race continues to blow us away! Please take a minute to check out the full donor list in the original shared post below. We’ll keep updating it as additional contributions come in 🧡💚

While the Josh Burton Memorial awards $10,000 to the Sprint winner, the full feature purse is significantly increased throughout the entire 21-car field and far exceeds the winner’s share alone… and that’s just for one feature of the night’s program. Putting together a payout of that size takes a tremendous amount of support between Bloomington Speedway, local businesses, community donations, and a large contribution from our own family each year. We can make a million posts, but no amount of words truly conveys how much we appreciate EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU for helping make this race what it is today 🧡💚

A big THANK YOU to everyone who has donated so far to help support this year’s $10K TO WIN Sprint Feature:

💰 Quick Time Electric - Dave Anderson
💰 Little Whippersnappers Daycare
💰 Economy Termite and Pest Control
💰 Thursday Night Thunder

The 2026 Josh Burton Memorial shirts are on order and we’re SO EXCITED to finally share this year’s design! 👕🤩🏁

We decided to switch things up with a brand new shirt color we’ve never done before, and honestly… we can already picture these ALL OVER the Bloomington Speedway grandstands and hill on Memorial night! 💚🧡

Thank you to Trent Niflis for the design work and Indy Screen Print for getting the shirts printed and ready to roll 🤙🏼

As always, we’ll have a pre-purchase/pickup opportunity at the Burton house before race day for anyone wanting to grab theirs early. We’ll make another post with details on that as soon as we have them finalized. Shirts are $25/each.

We can’t wait to see everyone wearing these at the 13th running of the Josh Burton Memorial coming up on May 22nd! 🏆🏁
