Paducah International Raceway to Reopen in 2018

A Paducah race track that shut down last year has announced it will reopen in 2018 under new management.

Paducah International Raceway, owned by promoter Bob Sargent and NASCAR's Tony Stewart and Ken Schrader, was closed during this past summer after previous management resigned at the end of the season. According to a press release, Phil Colwell will be taking over as leasee of the 3/8-mile high banked dirt track at 4445 Shemwell Lane in Paducah.

Colwell reportedly plans to reopen the track in late March or early April. The track will open weekly on Friday nights throughout the summer, with racing starting at 8 p.m.
