The 2022 Race Season at Chateau Speedway continues to be plagued by the Rain and Wet conditions this spring. All the rain and cool weather have prevented track officials from being able to get on the track and doing anything with the racing surface. Currently the surface is so saturated that officials have been unable to even drive onto the surface with any of the tracks equipment.

The facility was set to host the SMP Promotions Frost Buster Enduro back on April 23 but that was washed out as were plans for a rescheduling of the event.  The Test and Tune which was schedule for May 3 was washed out next.  Now the continued wet and cool conditions have forced officials to cancel what was supposed to be one of the biggest opening weekends in the history of the track.  No decision has been made yet on how or if the big events of the weekend can be rescheduled.
