Dangerous Heat Conditions Force Fremont to Cancel Races

Dangerous heat conditions have forced Fremont Speedway officials to cancel the races on Saturday, July 23.

“They are calling for temperatures in the mid to upper 90s with a heat index of around 105 to 110 degrees. Health officials are telling area residents to stay inside. The last time we tried to race in conditions like this we had people hauled out in the EMS for heat exhaustion. Our goal is always to provide a safe, fun and entertaining event,” said Rich Farmer, Promoter of Fremont Speedway.

Besides the Saturday night racing being cancelled so is the Johnny Auxter Day events on Sunday. Farmer said the classic car show scheduled for 9 a.m. Saturday at the fairgrounds is still on as the event will be over before the extreme heat of the day hits.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, July 30 on Kear’s Speed Shop Night. It will be a Kistler Racing Products FAST Championship Series presented by KS Sales and Service point night for the 410 sprints and a JLH General Contractor FAST 305 Sprint Series presented by Engine Pro point night for the 305 sprints. The 602 late models and dirt trucks will also be in action. It is also Throw Back Night and fans are encouraged to wear their classic racing t-shirts.
