(Hartford, OH)…The Ohio Department of Health has mandated activities to be limited in the state of Ohio due to the continued COVID-19 pandemic.  With that said and spectators being prohibited throughout the state, there will be no racing on Saturday, July 18 at Sharon Speedway.  As soon as restrictions are lifted, Sharon Speedway will resume the 2020 schedule of events.      

The July 18 show was to feature the return of the RUSH Late Model Series for the first time in four years in the inaugural "Bill Forney Memorial".  The "Bill Forney Memorial" could be rescheduled later in the season. 

Track rentals are available by contacting general manager Dave Willoughby at 330-770-1886. 

Sharon Speedway is owned by the Blaney, Weller, and Kirila Families and is a 3/8-mile dirt track located on Custer-Orangeville Road in Hartford, Ohio near the intersection of Routes 7 & 305.
