Hello racers and fans!
We know it’s been a while since our last update, and we truly appreciate everyone sticking with us. This is a long post to catch up!
Behind the scenes we’ve been working through one of the biggest hurdles of this entire project—completing our permitting and site plans with the county. While the process took longer than expected, I want to give credit where it’s due. Pueblo County has really stepped up. They have a lot of new staff who are working incredibly hard to support local businesses, and it shows. They’ve been responsive, professional, and genuinely committed to helping us navigate the process the right way. The County Commissioners and Health Department have also been fantastic to work with. We finally feel like we’re moving in the right direction, and that momentum is exciting.
With those pieces falling into place, work around the facility has really started picking up.
As you’ll see in these updated photos, progress is happening everywhere you look. While we still have a tremendous amount of work ahead of us, it’s incredibly rewarding to watch this old facility slowly come back to life.
The pit grandstands have been completely disassembled so they can be rebuilt correctly—making them safer and better than ever. We’re also adding additional grandstands on the spectator side to create more seating for our fans.
The buildings continue to be transformed, with remodeling taking place inside and out. Every improvement is made with the goal of creating a cleaner, safer, and more enjoyable experience for racers, crews, officials, sponsors, and fans alike.
There have been long days, late nights, unexpected challenges, and more obstacles than we ever imagined. But every challenge we’ve faced has only strengthened our commitment to bringing this facility back the right way—not the easy way.
This project simply wouldn’t be possible without some incredible people and businesses who have stepped up to help.
Chris Cullen has been nothing short of amazing. He continues to bring his own equipment to the track, spends countless hours helping us move dirt, demolish old structures, clean up the property, and tackle whatever needs to be done. He’s asked for absolutely nothing in return and has gone far beyond anything we agreed on. Chris, your generosity and work ethic have made a tremendous impact on this project. Thank you.
A huge thank you goes to David Weihrich with Advanced Design/Build for completing the engineering required for our site plans. It was a complicated and a detailed process, but David’s expertise and dedication were instrumental in getting us through it and moving this project forward.
Thank you to The Wire Wizards, who have begun the enormous task of upgrading the electrical infrastructure throughout the facility. It’s a massive undertaking, and they’re doing outstanding work that will benefit the speedway for years to come.
Thank you to High Plains Home and Ranch Services for pouring the concrete pad for our new pit entrance building. Another important piece of the puzzle is now in place because of their quality work.
And a special thank you to Jeff and Moe with Colorado Barns. They’ve been hard at work transforming both the interior and exterior of several buildings, and the craftsmanship speaks for itself. These guys are first-class, and we’re fortunate to have them on this project.
We’d also like to recognize KC Computer Services for their outstanding work designing and installing our new IT infrastructure and state-of-the-art security system. Their expertise is helping build a reliable and secure foundation behind the scenes that will support the facility for years to come.
To everyone who has offered advice, shared our posts, or simply stopped by with words of encouragement—thank you. Every hour, every dollar, every conversation, and every act of support has helped move this dream one step closer to becoming reality.
We’re not just renovating a racetrack. We’re bringing back a place where families will make memories, lifelong friendships will be formed, young drivers will chase their dreams, and racers from across the region will once again call home.
We still have a lot of work to do, but we’re more motivated than ever, and we can’t wait to continue sharing the progress with all of you.
Thank you for believing in this project and for believing in High Banks Speedway at Beacon Hill.
We’ll see you at the track May 2027!
