Bear Ridge 2020 Annual Awards Banquet Officially Canceled.

Bear Ridge Speedway

It is with heavy heart that Butch and April May announce the cancelation of the 2020 Bear Ridge Speedway annual awards banquet. The Banquet originally schedule for November 6, 2020 was postponed due to the pandemic to March 5, 2021. While the country is slowing progressing in a positive direction, we still have a long way to go. With facilities still shut down for larger venues indoors we had no choice but to cancel. This will be the first time in the history of the Ridge’s 53 years that the annual awards banquet was not able to take place. Ticket purchase refunds will be sent out the week of February 8th to all those who had purchased tickets, top ten points funds are also enclosed, for those eligible.

The annual awards banquet is a key part of the Ridge’s program as we feel it is extremely important to take time to recognize the accomplishments of all our competitors. We feel that it is still important to get the trophies and any other contingencies originally planned for distribution at the banquet to our drivers. We are currently looking at how that will happen, with our thought focused on opening day of 2021 May 8th, so that we can get pictures of our competitors on the track with their spoils. As we get a better handle on how and what we will be doing, we will let everyone know.
