+      Can I exchange my World 100 tickets for tickets to another event?

  • Due to the fluid nature of the 2020 season and the coronavirus pandemic, we cannot offer exchanges to other events on the 2020 schedule. Simply put, we do not know if or when we will be permitted to host fans in 2020.

+      What about the Baltes Classic and 4-Crown Nationals?

  • The Baltes Classic has been postponed. There has been no official decision on the 4-Crown Nationals but that is the next event on the original schedule and will be addressed in the near future.

+      What about the other events you postponed earlier this year? What is happening with those?

  • Those events remain postponed at this time and, frankly, the window of opportunity to hold them is closing every day. For Eldora Speedway to host spectators at events this year, we need the racing community to practice social distancing, wear a cloth face covering, bandana or mask when you’re around others, and practice good hygiene by frequently washing or sanitizing your hands. Not until the spread of the COVID-19 virus is under control and the State of Ohio lifts the order prohibiting spectators from grandstands at large venues will we be able to start working with the sanctioning bodies to reschedule the events. When we know, you’ll know – we appreciate and understand your frustration!

The event is being planned in accordance with the latest CDC, OHSA, federal, state and local guidance.
