Summary

Commissioners approved a one-year contract extension with Mountain Maryland Ventures to operate racing at the fairgrounds for the 2025 season; dates to be finalized later.

Allegany County commissioners voted to approve a one-year contract extension with Mountain Maryland Ventures to operate racing at the county fairgrounds for the 2025 season.

County staff member (name not specified) told commissioners the promoter responded to the 2023 solicitation and that staff met with the promoter in the fall and recommend executing the extension for 2025. The official said dates for the 2025 season are still being negotiated and “none of that will be public until we have agreed upon the dates.”

The commissioners moved, seconded and approved the item by voice vote. A Mountain Maryland Ventures representative later thanked the board and said drivers and volunteers were present to support the track.

The approval covers only the promoter contract extension; staff said specifics on event dates and any operational details will be presented once negotiated.
