An awesome night of racing for Guns & Hoses and Back to School Night at the Jamestown Speedway on Saturday night, August 15th. It was a great night of racing and some awesome backpacks were given to our junior race fans courtesy of Re/Max Now. Additionally, it was an honor to recognize our first responders, law enforcement, and firefighters that keep us safe in our local communities on Saturday night.
Great job to the track prep crew for their hard work this past weekend as we received a few inches of rain on Friday morning and afternoon that made the track quite tacky. However, the track was in a great shape as it had multiple grooves and a lot of side by side battles with great racing. Overall, it was a great night for racing and in total, we had 110 cars in the pits to do battle on Saturday Night.
