The United States Auto Club is cancelling the originally-scheduled two-night July 29-30 USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car races at Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, Ill.
“We have decided that, due to MOWA Sprint Car events at competing tracks in the region, it would be in our best interest to forego these events and not divide car counts and fans alike,” said USAC Competition Director Levi Jones.
“We look forward to the October 6-7-8 “Gold Crown Midget Nationals” which will feature the USAC National Midgets at Tri-City,” added Jones.
The USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car series will resume in late-August with the “Sprint Car Smackdown” spectacular at the Kokomo (Ind.) Speedway. A pair of USAC-sanctioned “special events” will precede those races, August 20 and 21 at Brandon. S.D. and August 24 at Kokomo.
