Asked for his thoughts about the upcoming season, track promoter Kevin Faddis indicated that his goal is to host family-oriented events at the Cortez track.
“We’re making it a little more family-oriented this season,” Faddis said.
“We have cheap raffles and lots of giveaways. We get a lot of support from the community and we always get a really good turnout. I’m really looking forward to this season.”
