DENVER -- A judge decided against sanctioning a Colorado drag racing track Tuesday for violating social distancing rules during a July 4 event but said the track must abide by public health orders to stem the spread of the coronavirus, even if those orders are constantly changing.
The case involving Bandimere Speedway, nestled in the Rocky Mountain foothills near Denver, and the Jefferson County Public Health department pitted government's authority to enforce health orders against the track owners' freedom to conduct business under liberties guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
District Judge Tamara Russell's ruling didn't completely satisfy either side.
