HALLOWEEN HAVOC CANCELED – OCTOBER 24

Unfortunately, we have made the decision to cancel Halloween Havoc scheduled for this Saturday evening at Fairgrounds Raceway in Boone, NC.

Despite our efforts, we simply haven’t received enough entries and committed interest to put together the show our fans deserve. Rather than ask fans and teams to spend their time and money on another night of short fields, we feel this is the responsible decision.

We intentionally scheduled around East Lincoln Speedway’s big race weekend, so having that event rescheduled onto our date was disappointing and made an already challenging situation more difficult. Ultimately, though, the overall support needed to make our event work just wasn’t there.

To the drivers who entered and planned to race with us, thank you. We appreciate your commitment, along with the sponsors, fans and staff who were ready to support Halloween Havoc. We know this is disappointing, and it is for us, too.

We’re getting to work on plans for 2027 to make it a much better year for the track and the racers who support us. We’ve learned plenty from the challenges of 2026, and we intend to put those lessons to work.

We wanted to give everyone as much notice as possible to adjust their weekend plans. Thank you to everyone who has supported our efforts to bring racing to Boone.

I want to thank everyone who came out to Fairgrounds Raceway this past weekend — the racers, fans, crews, staff, volunteers, and everyone who helped us raise money for Laci Ward. Even with a smaller crowd and car count than we hoped for, we were able to do something good for Laci and her family. I’m grateful to every person who had a hand in that.

I also want to be honest: the turnout was discouraging. We put a lot into these races, and we hoped more people would come be part of this one. That doesn’t take anything away from the people who DID show up. You gave us a race, supported a family, and reminded us why we wanted to do this in Boone in the first place.

Now we’re looking toward Halloween Havoc on Saturday, October 24. That race will help us decide what 2027 looks like — whether I return to promote, how many dates make sense, and which divisions we put on the schedule. Those decisions will come from what we learn on race day, including which racers and fans come out to support it.

I know we can’t offer the biggest purses or promise the biggest fields. But if you’ve watched a race on this little track, you know it doesn’t take 25 cars to put on a show. The size of the place puts the racing right in front of you, and a good field can make for one heck of a night.

If you want to see us continue building on what we’ve started over these last two races, come spend October 24 with us. Bring a friend who hasn’t seen the place yet. Racers, bring your cars and show us which divisions want a place in 2027.

Let’s make Halloween Havoc our biggest race yet.

Thank you again to everyone who showed up this weekend and everyone who helped us raise money for Laci.
