ROSSBURG, OH (April 24) – Just as the track crews were putting the finishing touches on the clay one-half mile clay oval in preparation for Saturday’s race meet, another band of showers invaded the area. With the forecast for heavy rains and thunderstorms invading the area during the early evening hours, race officials canceled the event to avoid travel costs for the competitors and fans.
The event was to have featured the non-winged Sprint Cars, Modifieds and Stock Cars. While the event will not be made up, the Stock Cars have suffered two rain-outs during this early season. As a result, they have been added to the Saturday night portion of the Outlaw Thunder by Goodyear weekend. They will now race both nights of that weekend (May 7 & 8), along with the travelling World of Outlaw Sprints. The UMP (United Midwestern Promoters) Modifieds will also race on Friday night.
