Remainder of South Georgia Showdown Canceled Following Friday Opener Due to Winter Weather Forecast

NEEDMORE, Ga. (Jan. 30) — Following the conclusion of Friday night’s South Georgia Showdown opener at Needmore Speedway, Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series officials, in conjunction with Needmore Speedway and Swainsboro Raceway, have announced that the remainder of the South Georgia Showdown has been canceled due to increasingly severe winter weather forecasts across Georgia and much of the Southeast.

Forecasts are calling for a winter storm to move into the region beginning Saturday, with the potential for significant snow accumulation in parts of Georgia and surrounding states, followed by freezing temperatures expected to persist through Sunday and Monday. With the safety of race teams, fans, officials, and track staff as the top priority, and with travel conditions expected to become hazardous throughout the Southeast, officials determined that continuing the event would not be feasible.

As a result, Saturday’s scheduled racing at Needmore Speedway, as well as Sunday’s practice and Monday’s and Tuesday’s Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series races at Swainsboro Raceway, have been officially canceled and will not be rescheduled.

All presale tickets purchased through MyRacePass for Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday events will be automatically refunded. Fans do not need to take any action, as refunds will be processed directly through MyRacePass to the original form of payment.

With the South Georgia Showdown now complete, the 2026 Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series championship chase will officially begin on Sunday, March 22, with the $12,000-to-win Bama Bash at Talladega Short Track.

Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series officials would like to thank the drivers, teams, fans, track personnel, and partners for their understanding and cooperation as winter weather forced difficult but necessary decisions.
