HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Kansas State Fair Board told Phil Nightingale at their meeting this week to get dates together for next year for Salt City Racing LLC, because the schedule at the Fairgrounds is filling up fast.
"We've got horse shows that have been here and cattle shows that have been here," said General Manager Bryan Schulz. "I'll just throw it out here, unless the board tells me differently, they are going to have first option on it, because they have been here. We're not going to push that out."
Nightingale has additional sanctioning bodies that would like to race the half-mile, but he's got to work it out with them.
"I'm going to get with them early to get on their schedule," Nightingale said. "That's what I have to do."
A reminder that what could be the biggest event at the fairgrounds racetrack so far in 2024 is scheduled for Friday, July 19 and Saturday, July 20 as the USAC Silver Crown series will be on the track, with a 100 lap feature scheduled for that Saturday night.
