ONLINE TICKET SCAMS - Beware of scammers attempting to sell fake tickets (primarily racer entries) - if they send proof of purchase there are typically typos such as “Race Park of Midlands” instead of “Raceway Park of the Midlands” - The amounts don’t make sense ($80.18 when tickets are $80 plus taxes & fees) and bad grammar (“You purchase 2 tickets”) because these scammers are horrible, not well educated people.

If you purchase a fake ticket it is not our responsibility, you will need to pay admission at the gate when you arrive.
