A statement from Jason Robinett and his team read: \u201cThe original focus and purpose of AOE and Mid-America Outdoors was a family focused outdoors park that impacts the Northeast Oklahoma area. AOE will refocus their energy more closely to home and more in alignment with the original vision of the founders.\u201d\r\n\r\nAOE also owns the Ultra4 and Great American Shortcourse Regional Series. So far their 2024 schedules are intact as does the local MAO racing series.","excerpt":"<p>It was over before it even started.
