This is something we hate to do, but given the extreme heat, we decided it was the smartest choice for everyoneβs safety and health. It was also the most prudent financial decision, as the heat would have significantly impacted attendance. We always look forward to hosting the USAC Midgets, as we truly believe Wayne County Speedway produces the best midget racing in the country!
