Brett Deyo’s Moving The Gobbler From Accord To Georgetown; Event To Be Held Nov. 28th

Story By: BRETT DEYO / GEORGETOWN SPEEDWAY – GEORGETOWN, DE – Eat dinner with the family. We’ll provide the dirt-track dessert.

With New York State regulations not allowing for the annual ‘Gobbler’ to be presented at its home since 2013 – Accord Speedway – Georgetown Speedway promoter Brett Deyo has announced the post-Thanksgiving event will take place at the First State half-mile oval on Saturday, Nov. 28.

The ‘Gobbler’ will serve as the 2020 Northeast dirt-track finale on the last Saturday afternoon of November.

“We are looking forward to continuing the tradition of the ‘Gobbler’ while New York State regulations are still prohibiting spectators in the grandstands at auto racing events,” Deyo said. “Hopefully, next season racing in New York State will be back to normal and the event will go home to Gary and Donna Palmer at Accord Speedway.”
