RPM announced on Facebook that the races for this weekend have been canceled for safety improvements to be made.

See the track's Facebook post below.

Okay, after taking about 24 hours to think about and digest yesterday, I want to get everyone in the loop ahead of the weekend.

I received a phone call from the county yesterday explaining that this weekends event will need to be put on hold.

After a walk through, they have decided that the front stretch catch fence needs to be replaced. This is an effort to keep racers and spectators as safe as possible while you are taking in an event at RPM Speedway with your family and friends.

The goal is to have the fence project completed by the July 11-12 Ellis County Fair races.

I am thankful to have the unwavering support of the Ellis County Commissioners, the Ellis County Fair Board, and I am thankful that when a need arises at RPM Speedway, they step up and support this place. Disappointed, yes... but not upset with safety and improvements.
