PLACERVILLE FORCED TO CANCEL OCTOBER 9TH USAC EVENT

Placerville, California (October 3, 2021)………Due to the continued fire rehabilitation cleanup efforts, Placerville Speedway has announced that the USAC West Coast Sprint Car and USAC Western States Midget event scheduled for Saturday, October 9th has been canceled.

With equipment being housed on-site and limitations in the pit area, it isn’t possible to hold a Sprint Car or Midget event this coming week.

“We were able to hold the Monster Truck and Tractor Pull events due to a much smaller footprint in the pit area,” track promoter Scott Russell explained.  “With what we are working with at this moment, however, it unfortunately makes it impossible to host the USAC and BCRA event next week.”

The Elk Grove Ford Hangtown 100 is still on as scheduled, however, for November 18th, 19th and 20th. The USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship event will now be the next race at the speedway.
