Sterling Heights, MI (Thursday, April 2, 2020) – In accordance with recommendations put forth by local, state, and federal health departments, officials with Motor City Racing Promotions, in conjunction with officials from Flat Rock Speedway and Champion Racing Association, have cancelled the April 25, 2020 running of the Motor City 200.
