From Nevada Speedway!

More often than not, drivers and fans complain about tracks not wanting to "work together" and over lapping special shows on the same weekend. 

After getting a lot of messages from late model drivers, we are NOT going to have our $1,000 to win special this weekend. Caney Valley Speedway is hosting a $2,020 to win/$200 to start show this Saturday. 

We agree with the drivers that we've heard from and feel like it's in the best interest to hold our special for another weekend. We want BOTH tracks to have a great turn out for the added money races.

We will still have our $500 to win/$50 to start Mini Stock special this Saturday along with Pure Stocks, Street Stocks, Midwest Mods and B-Mods.

From the desk of Rich Hill Mayor Jason Rich

On Monday, July 27, I learned the Rich Hill Youth Development Center would be closing. Larry Hacker - Bates County Southern Commissioner and I have spoken with our local representatives and senator. While Rich Hill does not reside in Jack Bondon’s area, he attended our last meeting and is putting forth efforts to find solutions. 

Representative Pike and Senator Emery are also working with us as we search for a solution. As Senator Emery is terming out, Bondon is running to become our area’s senator. I hope this helps Rich Hill citizens understand who is working for them.
