CHILLICOTHE, OHIO-The Atomic Speedway near Chillicothe, Ohio has cancelled racing for March 29 due to the Thursday rains and 90% chance of rain Friday and Saturday along with forecast frigid temperatures. Brad McCown and company will be back in action April 5 which will be the rain date for Emergency Responders, Firefighters, and Police officer night.
“We are going to take Mother Nature’s hint and CANCEL for this Saturday March 29th. We have watched the weather all week and Saturday keeps getting worse day by day. Currently they are calling for a 60% chance of Rain Friday and a 90% chance of Rain Saturday with temps in the low 40’s. With our early start times, we wanted to make the call early and not put teams traveling in a bind.”
