THOMPSON, Conn. – Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park has made the decision to postpone the upcoming 46th annual Liquid Death Icebreaker, which was originally scheduled for April 3-5.
In addition, the track has also canceled the test and tune that was scheduled for March 21.
The changes are as the result of Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont’s newest Executive Order and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention suggestions to avoid gatherings of more than 50 people for the next eight weeks.
“After conversations with NASCAR and all stakeholders involved, Thompson Speedway is planning to announce a postponement date for the Icebreaker in a matter of just a few days,” track officials said in a statement. “Competitors should note that there will be a practice day attached to the rescheduled Icebreaker, and any drivers who signed up for the March 21 test will be given top priority for a practice date that is to be determined.
“Thompson Speedway wishes to stress that we have not canceled any events on our 2020 schedule, however, some of which have been postponed, for the time being. We will work closely with all partners to come up with a necessary solution and hope to reschedule all events for a later date.”
“The health of our valued race teams, fans, staff and customers is paramount during the COVID-19 outbreak. We have cleaned the property thoroughly to do our part to stop the spread of the virus and will continue to do so in the future.”
