A Message to our Fans on ARCA 200 Weekend Postponment

The postponement of the Pensacola 200 Weekend Race Festivities was an agonizing decision for all involved in the organization of the event. Months of preparation by multiple parties had us optimistic that we were in for some fantastic racing.   We do feel however, that the well being of our Fans, Competitors, and Employees far exceeds our need to run a race. In all facets of our operation, we always make it our mission to error on the side of safety. We have faith in local, state, and federal authorities to act in the same manner.

When sons, Dayton and Brandin Sidner, told their old man they wanted to race a few years ago, Steve was emptying pockets and turning wrenches in the pits every Friday night.
