Virginia Motorsports Park is saddened to announce that the entire month of events in the month of April have been cancelled with the exception of the Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings event, originally scheduled for April 24-25 and has been rescheduled to film on June 19-20 weekend.

We are also saddened that we cannot host any private test sessions during this time either. We have been in talks with county and state officials regarding the importance of programs like this for our facility and our customers but during the month of April ,we have been declined the right to do private testing, even with abiding by social distancing practices. Virginia Motorsports Park officials will continue to stress the importance of this to our government officials and a hopeful timetable for a return of this program during this stressing time for our nation. We will update as more information comes available for this and more programs.

We understand how uncertain these times are and the health of our fans is of the highest importance for both Virginia Motorsports Park and all of its individual event promoters. We ask that you stay home as often as possible, wash your hands, sanitize as often as possible and stay within the government’s guidelines. The sooner that the great country of the United States beats this pandemic, the sooner that we are able to highlight the most extreme motorsport on the planet. In closing, take time away from the current situation to focus on those who are the most important to you. We have to take care of ourselves along with the ones that we care about the most to beat this pandemic and return to our normal lives.

Sincerely,
Tyler Crossnoe
Virginia Motorsports Park | Vice President
