Evergreen Speedway inches toward live racing again

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Doug Hobbs is planning to fire up the barbecue Sunday afternoon and settle in to watch the first NASCAR Cup Series race in more than two months.

The Real Heroes 400 takes place Sunday at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway. It’s NASCAR’s first live race since March 8 as the series was postponed in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The race will be held without fans in attendance, but will still be televised nationally, giving racing fans a long-awaited outlet.

And Hobbs, the president of Monroe’s Evergreen Speedway, is hoping his track isn’t far behind.

Evergreen Speedway and the rest of Washington’s racetracks, while not given the green flag, have at least been allowed to start their engines with an eye toward a resumption in racing.

Washington Governor Jay Inslee announced during his press conference Thursday that motorsports have been added to the list of outdoor activities allowed to open during Phase 1 of the state’s four-phase reopening plan.

1. Evergreen is a kool speedway. I hope the small tracks can open with the proper

safeguards. I was impressed with World Of Outlaws race in Iowa with no fans. The pay per view was yuuge.
