May 30th Testing and Tuning at Ricky Craven’s Speedway Presented by Bar Harbor Bank & Trust [PHOTOS & VIDEO]

Saturday May 30th was the final Testing and Tuning Day at Ricky Craven's Speedway Presented by Bar Harbor Bank & Trust and the track and raceway was buzzing.

Ricky Craven was everywhere, meeting with race drivers, officials, pit crews. He has been hands on since Day 1, and fans attending the 2026 season will be amazed at the transformation in the track and the amenities that have been added.

As I was leaving, Ricky pulled up in the Darling's Pace Car and invited me for a ride on the track. Here's the video of 1 lap where Ricky hit 70 miles per hour, and trust me, on a short track like Speedway, it feels MUCH, MUCH faster! It's not like traveling 70 on I-95!
