From Tyler Altmeyer

SUN PRAIRIE, WI (May 21, 2017) – An evening rain shower just after qualifying time trials forced Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions and IRA Sprint Car Series officials to cancel the remaining portions of the Sunday night program at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. The event will be made up on Thursday, June 8, featuring the IRA Sprint Car Series, as well as Tony Stewart. The Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions will announce their participation, if possible, in the coming days. Please stay tuned at www.allstarsprint.com, as well as on all of the available social media networks.

There were 53 Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions signed-in for competition before the rains came. Brandon Spithaler was the evening’s fastest qualifier, setting a new track record of 11.706 seconds in the process.

The Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions will continue their 2017 campaign with a Memorial Day 2016 All Star Circuit of Champions Top Storyweekend doubleheader in The Buckeye State, beginning with action at Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio, on Friday night, May 26. It will be the second of four Attica Raceway Park invasions for the Tony Stewart-owned organization in 2017, the first taking shape on Saturday, April 15, during the annual HD Supply Spring Nationals. Spencer Bayston was the victor; a first-ever Arctic Cat All Star win for the Lebanon, Indiana native.
