Word Been going around that I-96 Speedway is shutting down after this week. Apparently they were not even going to run this weekend but GLSS rented the track for their scheduled race. Just said to see another dirt track close. There was rumors last year that there was a couple partys interested to buy the track…Neither were to keep it operating…

So no he11 tour event? That would probably be a money maker. Strange timing.

They announced this morning that they are canceling their hell tour date. Wonder if a different track will pick it up?

I just seen on their Facebook post that they cancelled due to monster trucks running ten minuets away and not sure they can risk fans not showing up.

Glad the rumor mill source was wrong on permanent closing. I-96 running this weekend on normal Friday night and have announced the cancelled Hell Tour show. Plan on catching the Hell Tour at Butler Motor Speedway on Thursday, July 21.

Unless someone comes in to take it over it’s not looking good. Yes they are racing this weekend but it’s a week by week thing to my understanding.

At least we still have I 94 speedway up in Fergus Falls. I have been up there. Nice track.
