Jay is an experienced track manager, coming from most recently Lyons Raceway Park in Lyons, IN. Let's all make him welcome to Harrisburg. We will be delaying opening for a couple of more weeks so that Jay can get a handle on everything and get the track ready to open. This includes putting the schedule out as well.
