This year Mountain Creek Speedway celebrated one of it most exciting years to date with the 600 micro sprints at the “Cage at the Creek.” After much consideration with speedway staff and management and taking into account current issues with the County of Catawba, a decision has been made to crown our 2023 division champions after the new year in late January or early February when a date is finalized.
“We’re handling priorities first.” said track owner and promoter, Adam Stewart. We’re looking forward to crowning our most recent champions, but we have an important meeting with the county next week and first things come first.” On January 9th there will be a second board of adjustments meeting regarding the speedway at the Catawba County Government center at 7pm.
