"It’s been quite the ordeal since then," Webster said. "When they post to social media, it’s my understanding that they get paid if they get so many followers or hits, so that’s what the purpose of it is."
He said they've been getting into the speedway by jumping the fence or even cutting through.
"There’s been vandalism and damage to the property," Webster said.
