It has been a tumultuous last few weeks for the Oakshade family. Donna Green, who along with her late husband James Ehrsam founded and originally operated Oakshade Raceway, unexpectedly passed away last week at the age of 87. Donna, mother, grandmother and friend to most of the staff at Oakshade was a fixture at the track over the years and will be greatly missed by all.
Track staff paused last week to remember Donna and track preparations took a backseat. Due to the loss of that prep time and the excessive rainfall earlier this week, Oakshade Raceway will not be hosting the season opener this weekend. Instead we will be taking this time to regroup and make sure everything is ready to go when we kick off the 50th race season on Saturday, May 17th with a full racing program feature DIRTcar UMP Late Models, DCR Graphics Sportsman, Dominator Super Stocks and Compacts. Gates will open at 4pm with racing at 7:15pm. Grandstand tickets will be $15 for ages 12 and up, ages 6-11 are $5 and ages 5 and under are FREE. Pit passes will be $30.
