50th Season Opener presented by Eric Norris State Farm Insurance Agency

May 16th to be Monett Motor Speedway 50th Season Opener presented by Eric Norris State Farm Insurance Agency. With COVID-19 restrictions and circumstances, we will limit the number of cars and fans allowed. We will reduce restrictions as conditions allow.

Race Team Registration: Cars will be limited to 100. To reduce confusion around whether or not your team can enter on race night we will use online registration thru MyRacePass at the following link: https://www.myracepass.com/tracks/2150/registrations/2669. Priority registration will be granted to all who attended 80% of our events in 2019. Priority registration will end on Tuesday May 12th and registration will then be granted on a first come basis. Registration for the event includes 1 car, Driver, and 2 additional pit passes. You will need to leave a full trailer width between you and the next team when you arrive on race night. It is important that we follow the physical distancing guidelines. All race teams need an Annual Race Team Membership to race at our venue. This membership can be acquired thru MyRacePass using the following link: https://www.myracepass.com/tracks/2150/registrations/2414.

Grandstands: Fans will be limited to 400 Adults and 200 18 and under. Our Grandstands hold 2,000 fans. Allowing 600 we will be at approximately 30% capacity if all tickets are sold. This will allow for proper physical distancing. Families may sit together. All fans and families should keep a minimum of 6’ separation to other fans and families. Tickets will be available online up to race time. If you purchase your ticket online you will need to bring proof of your purchase along with a photo ID to redeem your Grandstand Tickets. If additional space is available you will be able to get tickets at the grandstand gate the night of the event. To start the season our concessions will be closed and you may bring your own snacks and beverages (no alcohol). When we reopen our concessions, we will no longer allow outside food or drinks.

Rain Out: In the event of a rain out on May 16th, Race Team Registration will be forwarded to the race scheduled for May 23rd. In the event of a rain out on May 16th Electronic Grandstand Tickets purchased thru MyRacePass will be refunded to the card you used to purchase them. If we are rained out after beginning the race on the 16th we will communicate how/if/when your purchases can be used for future events.

Race Team Payout: Until we understand the new normal we will be using a variable payout scale. Payout for each race will depend on the number of race teams and the number of fans in attendance. We will post 4 scenarios on our website for Race Teams to review prior to registration. These are scenarios only and each race will be calculated using actual attendance numbers on the night of the event. We will return to our regular predictable payout as soon as normalcy kicks back in or we find our new normal. We realize this is not an ideal situation. However, we are concerned with being here for many years to come and feel this gives all of us the best chance of sustaining the race track. Race teams please strongly consider the different scenarios before registering for an event. We understand this may not work for all our teams. We hope we can return to normal soon!
