    A North Carolina speedway drew a crowd of more than 2,000 spectators in defiance of the state's coronavirus restrictions after declaring the race a "protest."

    Ace Speedway workers performed temperature checks before people went inside the track.

    A sign from management outside the speedway said, "This Event is held in Peaceful Protest of Injustice and Inequality Everywhere." The Alamance County Sheriff's Office said it is "evaluating the events."
