A dirt track in North Sioux City, South Dakota, is planning to hold a race Saturday with tickets capped at 700 fans for a 4,000-seat venue.
"The way we figured it, we could probably have a little over 900 people with six feet apart between each person, and we're actually only selling 700 seats, not even 900. We actually went way less than that just to give people more room,"."There isn't community transmission in that county, and according to the CDC, we're still eligible to do what we want to do."
The event will feature 410 sprint cars and the IMCA modifieds. Both fields are limited to 32 entries apiece. Former NASCAR Cup Series drivers Ken Schrader and Kenny Wallace are slated to race on the IMCA modifieds entry list. Track owner Adam Adamson said in public statements the event will allow social distancing and safety precautions to be practiced adequately. Tickets will be pre-sold, concessions will be purchased via credit card and 10-person clubhouses will be closed.
"We intend to go overboard on following CDC guidelines," Adamson said. "We're just a small race track in rural South Dakota trying to give some entertainment and a little bit of a break from some of this madness that's going on right now. We think we can do so in a safe environment."
