Ace Speedway in North Carolina drew a crowd of more than 2,000 spectators after declaring the event a “protest.” The governor’s office had warned Ace Speedway in Elon earlier this week that a crowd of more than 25 would violate the state’s Phase 2 coronavirus restrictions.
News outlets, including the Associated Press, were quick to report that more than 2,000 attended a race on Saturday night. A sign from management outside the speedway said, “This Event is held in Peaceful Protest of Injustice and Inequality Everywhere.”
