Citrus County Speedway has ended its racing season early.

Promoter Gary Laplant said he is closing the track for the fall because of financial and health considerations. He did indicate on the track's website he may host one more night of racing to decide points races that are close.

Here's what Leplant said about his decision on the message board of the track's website:

I would like to thank everyone that has passed prayers and concerns to me either here or by phone. Many questions have been asked here online and many statements have been asked also and options of me which is all cool been dealing with them for over a year know and just maybe that is why were are where we are today with my heath issues and issues at your local track.. But even with the good and the bad I will be updating everyone in the next week on my full plan of all questions of the next race-points-etc they all will be address. Again thank all of you for all your concerns about me and your local track Citrus County Speedway 

I am not running out or hiding from anyone just trying to get well and strong for the second of all this.
