Seeing cars back on track at Oak Level Raceway was a sight for sore eyes, and the turnout proved just how hungry racers are to get back to work. One of the coolest moments of the day?

The conversation covers expectations, challenges, and how experience from Ararat BullRing and Oak Level Raceway will shape decisions in 2026.
