All-Tech Raceway and Wendell Durrance announced that they have canceled the previously scheduled $100,000 to-win Crown Vic XR race that was scheduled to take place at the track on November 14th and 15th.
Durrance stated on Facebook, “Due to circumstances beyond our control at All-Tech Raceway, the $100K to win XR event for the Crown Vics will not take place as previously scheduled. Any refunds for entry fees will have to be handled through XR. This was not an All-Tech Raceway event, nor did we accept any entry fees. We were to lease our facility to XR for this event.”
With All-Tech Raceway canceling the event, the track announced a replacement, “On Friday, November 14th, we will have an open practice for the Crown Vics from 7 pm to 10 pm, with a cost of $30 per person for the pits, and the grandstands will be free. On Saturday, November 15th, hot laps at 6 pm and racing at 7 pm, there will be races for all Crown Vics in attendance. Depending on how many cars show up will determine how many feature races we will have. All cars will be racing heats and features. There will be no entry fees and no charge for transponders. We are doing this for the Crown Vic teams. Saturday, November 15th pit passes will be $50 per person who enters pits, ages 7-12 will be $25, and 6 and under free.”

Back in March, the XR Crown Vic Mayhem Facebook page had announced it already had 109 Crown Vics entered for the event with 91 spots still available.

This cancellation comes after All-Tech Raceway’s Race Control Paul Clayton issued an apology after XR failed to pay drivers for a $100,000 to-win XR Woombah! front-wheel-drive race at Kokomo Speedway earlier this year. He wrote on Facebook, “I just want to say I’m sorry to everyone in the front-wheel-drive community who trusted and supported the $100,000 XR event earlier this year. I was proud to be part of something that was supposed to be a huge step for our side of racing, but as most of you know, four of the top five still haven’t been paid — first, second, third, and fifth.”
“I wasn’t involved in payouts or the money side of it, but I know a lot of folks showed up and believed in it partly because I was involved. That means something to me, and it doesn’t sit right knowing people are sitting there waiting on money they rightfully earned,” he added. “I can’t fix it, but I can own my piece of it and say I’m sorry to the racers who put their time, money, and trust into that weekend. You all deserved better.”
