Any updates?

First of all thank you for purchasing and keeping stockcars going in the future.
But how can you run a drag show with fans but then go and cancelled the stock car show on the 9th. Would think with allowing to have fans for the drags shows you would for the stock car side of things?

Elma, NY — Since the completion of the 2019 US Open at New York International Raceway Park, home to Lancaster National Speedway, Race of Champions management has continued its attempts to resolve issues with the facility.

 

To date finances for purse money due to Race of Champions have still not been paid in full, to date, and caused delayed payouts to various teams that raced that weekend (September 13, 14 and 15, 2019). The continued delays by track management not meeting terms agreed upon with the Race of Champions. Due to these circumstances Race of Champions management has opted to suspend its partnership with New York International Raceway Park, home to Lancaster National Speedway until a resolution has been reached.

 

The Race of Champions has paid the teams in full that participated in the event utilizing monies from Race of Champions operational funds.

 

“There was a meeting with speedway management after the event and the season was completed to address concerns and the terms which were previously agreed upon,” stated Joe Skotnicki, Race of Champions, owner. “It got to the point where we wanted to get teams paid and had to use some of our operational funding to accomplish this. We recognized the time gap of payment was unfair to the competitors who had not received the purse money that was due to them.”

 

Race of Champions management is open to discussion and would consider all options regarding all racing related items once payment is reconciled and correspondence resumes.

 

“I would like to work things out with the speedway, however, misinformation and speculation by racers, sponsors and fans is misleading and confusing.” Skotnicki continued, “Race of Champions wants to open all lines of communication with New York Raceway International Park and to communicate to all what is truly taking place, create a resolution, and move forward.”

 

Race of Champions management will provide updates in regard to this situation as progress is made.

 

The Race of Champions is a sanctioning body presenting Modified and Stock Car racing on asphalt and dirt surfaces throughout the Northeast, with events in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey with primary marketing partners Hoosier Racing Tire, VP Racing Fuels, US Army, Upstate Automotive Group, Waddell Communications, Pilat Graphic Design, Jerico TDH Refrigeration, Sherwood Racing Wheels, PavedTrackDigest.com and Speed51.com. The 70th annual Race of Champions weekend will take place in 2020 at Lake Erie Speedway in North East, Pennsylvania and is the second longest consecutive auto-racing event in North America, second only to the Indianapolis 500

In years gone by Lancaster used Wednesday as a rain date.  The track is busy Wednesdays now so that wouldn't really work.  But let's give the new owners a chance to get their legs under them before we get too excited about things.

This isnt about one track this is all tracks in general i get that alot of fans were upset about lancaster cancelling yesterday but i notice a lot of tracks are cancelling and not making up the days that they are missing. Hell run a couple twin features for each division and add to the schedule that way

Looks like it's cancelled

It doesn't look like either Holland or NYRP our going to run weekly anymore. Running every other weekend opposite of each other should work for car count. Or Holland moving to Friday nights because of NYRP having drag racing. But back to main point of the post WNY asphalt needs to come together with common set of rules in order to grow back up the asphalt scene in this area.

The speedway is located on property that also includes the paintball park.

Bennett Sr. declined to discuss specifics of the case. Hutchinson's attorney, David Kloss, said the court proceeding was a "matter of formalization" of the arrangement for Hutchinson to no longer be part of track management.

"Daniel has another business and Daniel is concentrating now on his core business outside of racing," Kloss said. "Ron and Daniel remain good friends."

Hutchinson has not replied to messages in the last month seeking information on his plans for the track.

What lies ahead for racing at Holland?

"I know that there's going to be a rush of people who are going to be asking if the speedway is going to open in two weeks," Bennett said. "That's not going to happen. What were looking at is the condition of the property. We have to repair and reset the property. It is not in good shape. ...

"The only thing that we would probably do is review the schedule and probably host the 12th year of running Crash-A-Rama. But right now we're not going to try to commit to anything as we try to put this place back together.

"I'm not going to try to walk back into it and race without any sponsorships, promotions or anything. These things are usually done in the offseason. Remember that the track last year was run by someone else and now it's been returned to me."

Last season, the speedway suffered its worst season with the smallest race fields and grandstand attendance in the track's long history. Many races were run with less than 100 patrons in the grandstand and 50 cars or less in the pits.

Hutchinson released a tentative 2019 schedule last fall but has provided no additional details since. Drivers' meetings have not been held in preparation for the season.

Bennett began to pursue alternative options in recent weeks, ultimately filing with the court April 19.

Holland's name change is the second for a local asphalt racing track in less than a week. Last week, the new owners of what was Lancaster National Speedway changed that track's name to New York International Raceway Park.
