• Due to the weather the current round of the Loretta Lynn qualifier has been moved to the Honolulu Hills Raceway in Taft, California. Saturday is for the Midwest Area Qualifier and Sunday is the Northwest Area Qualifier.
• When this article was posted, due to the incoming weather, REP Racing MX had not posted a schedule for this weekend, which includes the Sandbox in Fernley. Best bet is to check their Face Book page or on Instagram.
• Another track watching the weather before posting their weekend schedule is E Street MX Park in Marysville.
• MMX Racing did post a schedule and on Friday from 10 to 3 p.m. they have practice on the Main, Sand and Kids tracks. Saturday is from 9 until 2 p.m. on the same tracks. Sunday is weather permitting.
- There is also supposed to be an OTHG race Sunday on the main track. Practice is Saturday but Sunday again depends on the weather.

• Thursday at 6 p.m. Racer will air 2026 Asian Le Mans Highlights. Then at 7:30 p.m. Fox Sports 1 has Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour.
• Friday is an open day so best bet is to try other sources like www.floracing.com, www.mavtv.com, www.racexr.com, and of course www.youtube.com.
• On Saturday Roun 7 of the AMA Supercross series moves to Arlington and Peacock will broadcast the event. They start at 11 a.m. with Race Day Live then at 3:30 p.m. start the racing part.
