The Estevan Motor Speedway has cancelled its season opener for 2024.

ESTEVAN - The Estevan Motor Speedway has announced the cancellation of its season-opening program, scheduled for May 4. 

The announcement was made Friday afternoon on the track's Facebook page. 

"Last night, south of town was hit with a considerable amount of hail and rain. Our track prep crew has been working diligently, however with no sun and cooler temperatures, the facilities cannot be brought to race-day conditions," the speedway said on its Facebook page. 

In addition to having races in all five of its classes, the speedway was going to be raising funds for Alicia Mann and her family by donating the proceeds of the 50-50. The Biggs family had guaranteed a jackpot of at least $7,000 for the night, with half going to the Mann family and half going to the winner. 

A long-time supporter and volunteer at the track who often sings the national anthem, Alicia Mann was diagnosed with cancer last year. 

The speedway says the Mann family fundraiser will be pushed to the next race, scheduled for May 18. 

"Details will follow as the board pivots and changes course. Pre-purchased tickets can be used at the next event," the speedway said.
