Tuesday, May 19, 2020

WAYNESFIELD, OHIO - Because of Ohio Governor Mike DeWine's order limiting
gatherings to no more than 10 people in response to COVID-19, Waynesfield
Raceway Park has postponed the Saturday, May 23 event.

Waynesfield Promoter Shane Helms said he is continuing to examine dates
later in the year to make up not only the May 23 event - which was to
feature the NRA Sprint Invaders and the Patriot Sprint Tour along with the
UMP modifieds - but the Third Annual Bob Hampshire Classic which had been
scheduled for March 28.

"We want our terrific race fans and teams to enjoy and have fun but
unfortunately that's not what we can do right now," Helms said. "We will
continue to make improvements to the facility and hopefully we can all have
fun soon."

As for now the next event on tap for "The Field" is a visit by Tony
Stewart's Ollie's Bargain Outlet All Star Circuit of Champions during the
38th Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek. The traveling All Stars will stop at
Waynesfield for the third leg of speedweek on Sunday, June 14 for the Third
Annual Rick Ferkel Classic. The NRA 360 sprints will also be in action with
$200 being awarded to the highest finishing 305 sprint. The USAC D2 Thunder
Midgets will also be in competition.

In what has become one of the must-see events in Ohio, the 12th Annual Jack
Hewitt Classic will hit the high banks of Waynesfield Raceway Park on
Thursday, July 2 featuring the Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series (non-wing), the
FAST winged 410 sprint series, the USAC D2 Thunder Midgets and the 360
verses 305 challenge. The event honors racing legend and National Sprint Car
hall of Fame member Jack Hewitt, a Troy, Ohio native who made a name for
himself as a champion with the All Stars, USAC Silver Crown Series and has
wins with the World of Outlaws, USAC Sprints and Midgets and wins across the
country in winged and non-wing sprints and is renown for his no-nonsense
attitude and love of the sport.

Waynesfield Raceway Park will feature the FAST winged 410 sprints, the BOSS
non-wing sprints and the USAC D2 Thunder midgets on Saturday, Aug. 22.
