Plans are moving forward in the effort to bring horse racing back to Mid-Michigan. The Sports Creek Raceway in Genesee County closed in 2015. It is among 13 tracks statewide that have closed in recent years as the attraction’s popularity declined. “I am so excited that they’re opening again,” said Connie King, owner of Jan’s Bar in Swartz Creek. New owners plan to breathe new life into the track in Swartz Creek.
