The engines are warming up, and the anticipation is building as Elkins Raceway prepares to kick off its 73rd anniversary racing season, continuing a proud legacy of motorsports excitement in the heart of West Virginia.

This season holds special significance as it is dedicated to the memory of longtime track manager Jim Skidmore, who passed away in December 2024.
