Goal to bring pro racing events to area and reap benefits

Although the clay oval track at Reno-Fernley Raceway will be closed for the 2008 season, fans can still see plenty of rip-roaring racing this season. Organizers are working hard to upgrade facilities to bring area race fans a new crop of national events. Race fans, keep your shirt on, something great is coming up fast around the next turn.

During recent months Reno-Fernley Raceway management has been reviewing and adjusting the business plan for future growth of the facility and the future of the racing industry in the Reno area. The ultimate goal is to bring major professional racing events to our community with the benefits that come with such events.

Bringing national events to Reno-Fernley Raceway
Through discussions with national sanctioning bodies and the time frame that Reno-Fernley Raceway has to work with it has been decided that our focus and efforts will be concentrated on road course and facility development.

Expansion of Oval Track and Road Course
We also strive to establish long-term relationships with national organizations and sanctioning bodies to bring new end exciting racing events to both the Oval Track and Road Course. To accomplish this goal, we will begin expansion of our Oval Track facility into a larger paved track and examine the potential of building a new Clay Oval at another site on the motorsports complex.

Clay/dirt Oval closed for 2008 season
As such, the Clay/Dirt Oval will be closed for the 2008 season as these additional improvements to the Motorsports Complex are undertaken.

Thanks for fans, drivers, sponsors
We apologize for the late notice and understand the inconvenience it may cause to our dedicated fans, drivers, and sponsors. We would like to say thank you. We greatly appreciate the years of support you have given the Clay Oval and Reno-Fernley Raceway. Without your support and dedication we could not have grown to where we are now.

Upcoming season for Road Course and Drag Strip
We invite everyone to be a part of the largest season to date at the Road Course and Drag Strip. It will host events every weekend from March through October, including the Reno Historic Races, Sports Car Club of America National Road Race, Motorcycle Racing with United States Grand Prix Racers Union, Hot August Nights Drag Racing, and many more exciting public events.

Timeline
Reno-Fernley Raceway facility improvements are planned to be completed by early 2009 and the Paved Oval Track will reopen shortly thereafter. It will introduce a schedule filled with an exciting series of nationally sanctioned race groups.
