With the permission of the New York State Gaming Commission,
Monticello Raceway will add Monday, January 20 and Monday, February 17 to its
live racing schedule.
“Since we had to cancel a few racing days due to adverse
weather conditions we applied for, and were granted, racing programs on Martin
Luther King Day in January and on Presidents Day in February ,” noted
track general manager, Shawn Wiles.
Even though The Mighty M has added a race card on January
20, the day the nation pays homage to the great civil rights leader, the
raceway will still present its 14th annual Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr. Pace, which feature drivers of African American heritage, on Tuesday,
January 21 as previously advertised.
And on Presidents Day (Feb. 17) the raceway is currently in
the process of securing a field of drivers whose last names are the same as
anyone of our American Presidents.
