Under Governor Wolf’s Process to Reopen Pennsylvania plan, counties in the state are placed in either the red, yellow or green phase, with each new phase allowing additional businesses to operate.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf issued updated business guidance allowing outdoor recreation facilities, including motorsports, to resume operation in the state.

Under the Governor’s Process to Reopen Pennsylvania plan, counties in the state are placed in either the red, yellow or green phase, with each new phase allowing additional businesses to operate. All Pennsylvania counties are currently in the yellow or green phase. Motorsports facilities in counties in the yellow phase can operate at 50% capacity, while those in the green phase can operate at 75% capacity, with additional restrictions in place to maintain social distancing.

The Pennsylvania legislature previously introduced a bill to allow outdoor recreational activities, including professional and amateur motorsports, to resume immediately under certain conditions. The bill currently awaits a final vote in the House of Representatives.
