Canandaigua Motorsports Park to reopen week after Kevin Ward Jr.’s death
The track made the following announcement on its website Wednesday:
”Up until today I could not even think about another show at Canandaigua Motorsports Park. I spoke to Kevin Ward Sr. this morning and he encouraged me to ‘get back to racing at CMP, Kevin would want you to.’ I consulted with all my staff also today as well as my family. Everyone has said that we need to begin to heal and that means we need to come together this Saturday night and put on a show in memory of Kevin Jr. and support this great sport that we all love. We need to show our support of everyone that was involved and has been affected.
”We will be racing this Saturday night at Canandaigua Motorsports Park to show the world how strong we are as a racing family! How we can grieve together and come together. I ask that everyone wear something Orange to display our unity! We will be doing something special at the track on Saturday night.
“I want to thank everyone for the integrity you have shown in your comments on our Facebook page and for the support you have given my family, all my staff, every racer, and all the fans that have been deeply affected. I am forever grateful” Godspeed#13”
