In a statement issued on Wednesday (May 6) officials with Clinton Raceway have confirmed that the track will not open on its originally scheduled date.

The following notice was posted to the track's Facebook page:

As with many industries we are having to make decisions based on ever-changing information. We will do our best to keep our fans up to date on what will, or will not be happening at Clinton Raceway this summer.

Here is what we do know:

• We will not be opening on May 17 as previously planned

• We have cancelled all of our Day at the Races Fundraisers for the 2020 season.

Here is what we are uncertain of:

• If live racing will return to Clinton at some point this summer.

• If so, what it will look like for our fans.

We're thinking of all of our industry, supporters and fans during this time of uncertainty.

Stay safe and healthy race fans and watch for more info as it's available.

(Clinton)
