This weekend after a week off for the Championship Banquet racing returns to Auburndale Speedway with Sportsman and Pro Late Models.

 

Make your plans to be There

 

Thank You To Track Owners:

Before we get into the craziness of the work/race week we wanted to take a moment to thank our ownership as well for providing us a venue to do what we love and enjoy. The banquet was all about the drivers and teams but none of that would’ve been possible without the venue. Mother nature was rough for Florida short track racing but they still managed to keep things going despite 9 rain outs. The track paid out over 430K to drivers/car owners. I normally don’t put my name on posts but I will here to show that it is not ownership themselves posting this. Thank you.

This is Goodbye for now, and Save Our Speedway 4-17 Southern Speedway back on

Message from Joe and Janet:

 

By now, most of you are aware things are not turning out as we had hoped. Until Monday of this week, Joe and I were hopeful that some sort of an agreement could have been reached with the new lease holders and 4-17 Southern Speedway. In an unfortunate turn of events – that hope and desire came to a screeching halt. The plans of the new lease holder have changed completely. Those plans no longer include stock car racing. We are saddened by these turn of events. However- this is a goodbye for now, not for forever. We do have offers from 3 other facilities to move 4-17. Due to personal obligations, we will be weighing our options and deciding what is the best decision for our family. We would like to personally thank each and every fan, driver, and crew member that has become a part of the 4-17SSE family. YOU made these 6 years so incredibly amazing. We will be posting all items for sale. If you are interested in any of the items available- please contact Joe directly. We do ask that each of you continue to support your local stock car racing venue. Updates regarding points payout, items for sale, and a final farewell will be posted on Facebook. This is only a goodbye for now- not for forever.

 

Everyone send a message to Moto Bros and tell them we support circle track racing only
