ATTICA, Ohio (June 16, 2017) — Despite two attempts at outrunning Mother Nature on Friday evening at Attica (OH) Raceway Park, the final portion of opening night of Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by Cometic Gasket has been postponed until Saturday, September 2, when the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions return for Attica Ambush/Dirt Classic Ohio weekend. The 40-lap, $5,000-to-win, Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions A-main was the only event remaining on the schedule before Mother Nature interrupted competition for a second time.

Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by Cometic Gasket will continue on Saturday evening, June 17, with a visit to the famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.
