Virginia Motor Speedway track president and owner Bill Sawyer announced Dec. 2 that he has decided to cease operations at the Middlesex County dirt track after 25 seasons of racing under his ownership.
“With a severe financial climate since the pandemic, the cost of operation has increased yearly due to out-of-control inflation,” Sawyer stated. “Every aspect, not only for Virginia Motor Speedway, but also for our competitors and fans visiting the speedway.”
“I wish there was an answer, but this decision wasn’t made easy. I am very sorry to have to make this decision,” he said.
The Pit at Virginia Motor Speedway will operate and host two mud bog / Mega Truck events in 2025: Mud Mayhem on May 17, 2025, and the Run-A-Muck Mud Bog on Oct. 4, 2025.
