NASHVILLE, TN – City of Nashville Mayor John Cooper has directed officials of Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway to cancel the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Heroes 100 scheduled for Saturday, August 29, 2020.

Champion Racing Association officials are in discussions with a potential replacement venue for the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour race. A decision will be made soon.
In a press conference on Tuesday, August 18th, Mayor John Cooper spoke of his disapproval of ‘in person attendance for professional sports’.
