Congratulations to all of last nights winners and thanks to everyone who has supported us in 2012. We have seen some great racing and had a lot of fun. That being said we have decided to close down the track and will not be running any more races in 2012. If someone steps up with the sponsorship to resume operations in 2013 we will be more then happy to talk with them. We have put a lot of work into getting the Historic Cleveland County Fairgrounds Speedway back up and running and would love to keep it going. Very special thanks to the Fans, Fair Staff, Speedway Staff and everyone that has helped create some memories for the years to come. The Fairgrounds Speedway is a special place and I was honored to be a part of it. Michael W. Smith

Hopefully someone will step up and take you to another height on the G O D series of racing. Maybe like 5 year sponsorship. All is not lost because if there is a will there is a way

I think it was a golden goose for a sponsor, sorry to hear that no one else saw the enormous opportunity. Thanks for you dedication!

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.
