The track, as always, will host free primitive camping. Campers are asked to camp along the entrance lanes, and between the creek and road in the front area of the parking lot. Please leave center areas open for fans who are not camping. We ask that you please clean up your area and put trash in bags. It helps us clean up and keeps the camping free.
In the event of inclement weather, fans are advised to call the speedway (937-585-9456), visit the website http://www.shadybowlspeedway.rocks/ or visit their Facebook page.
