Hollywood Casino at The Meadows announced on Tuesday, Oct. 27 that longtime track superintendent Bruce Smith will be retiring from his position effective Dec. 31, 2026.

Smith has been in charge of the track surface at the Washington, Pennsylvania oval for more than 20 years.

“Bruce has been an invaluable part of our Meadows team,” said Michael Carter, Director of Racing at The Meadows. “Under his care, we’ve seen numerous world records set, and Bruce has had an amazing record when it comes to keeping our track in outstanding racing shape. For a track located where we have both summer and winter storms to deal with, Bruce has kept us racing through some challenging times. So far in 2026, we’ve only lost half of one card due to weather. That’s a testament to Bruce and his crew.”

The search for Smith’s replacement is already underway.
