"They took all the pop cans, smashed them on the walls in here, threw a bunch out through here (and) threw them out onto the track. Took all the boats, belts, forks, knives, all over the floor,” Latrobe Speedway promoter Dennis Bates said.

Approximately $10,000 worth of damage was also done when food items were dumped throughout the building, walls and windows were spray-painted and an attempt to flood the bottom floor was made.

"It’s been very difficult. Things are very tight and having this type of thing happen to us is definitely a major setback," Bates said.

Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact police.
