To that end, we\u2019re taking guidance directly from state officials and health experts, and we\u2019ll continue to monitor the situation and act accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thunder Road\u2019s season opener tentatively shifts to the Mekkelsen RV Memorial Day Classic on Sunday, May 24 at 1:30pm.
