NC Speedway defies Phase 2 restrictions, calls Saturday's race a 'peaceful protest'
By Mia Chamberlain @missmiafaith
Elon, NC | Earlier this week, Governor Roy Cooper urged Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson to enforce his executive order in phase 2, which said no more than 25 people can gather. However, reports say roughly 2,000 patrons filtered into the stands for a race Saturday night at Ace Speedway.
The Alamance County Sheriff's Office said it is "evaluating the events."
A sign outside the Ace Speedway track read: This event is held in PEACEFUL Protest for Injustice and Inequality Everywhere."

Here's how you do it. Want your church to meet? Call your service a "protest" against sin. "Ace Speedway declares race a 'protest' to skirt coronavirus rules, draws 2,000" https://t.co/Zgjx35Lkz0 #dailysites #feedly
