River Cities Speedway Postpones Season Opener to May 17th

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (May 7, 2019) – River Cities Speedway is pushing back its 2019 season opener due to the late spring weather and to continue work on track prep and facility clean-up for the upcoming season.

With another big year of racing ahead, the speedway wants to make sure the grounds are 100 percent ready for opening night to help ensure a good racing surface all season long.

The project to repair and upgrade the track’s grandstands has recently been finished.

“The contractors are out of there. They have done their work and have done a great job,” said River Cities Speedway promoter, Darren Evavold, in an interview with Mark Askelson of KRJB FM’s Racing on the Radio. “Things are going to be as they always are at River Cities Speedway. People will recognize some of the ironwork that’s been done and some of the new sheeting underneath the grandstands. We are looking forward to the fact that things will remain as is and glad we can keep that historical perspective here at the legendary bullring each and every Friday night.”

Racing on May 17th will kick off at 7pm with NOSA 410 Sprint Cars, NLRA Late Models, Wissota Midwest Mods and Street Stocks. Fans can save $3 per ticket by purchasing them at the advance ticket outlets; Home of Economy, University Station, Gateway Cenex, Stamart, El Roco Bar and Grill, and Northdale Oil Inc.
