As restrictions around gatherings are loosened in the province, racetracks are planning a return of motorsports, some as early as today. With some fans in the stands, 'hopefully we can start paying some bills,' said Wayne Smith, owner of Petty International Raceway, which opens Saturday. NASCAR has held several events without fans in attendance and has started letting a limited number of people back in the stands. Tim Wile, owner of the Shediac Centre for Speed, says the grandstand has been marked off to help fans keep their distance from each other. (Submitted by Shediac Centre for Speed)Wile said his track doesn't usually start up until late June, so it hasn't missed many racing days.
