ATTICA, Ohio – (June 30, 2017) — A late thunderstorm hit Attica Raceway Park just as sprint cars were about to put heat in the engines on Baumann Auto Group/Tusing Builders Fan Appreciation Night forcing racing to be cancelled.
AtticaRacewayPark will be back in action Friday, July 7 on Croghan Colonial Bank Night. It will be an Attica Raceway Park/Wayne County Speedway Late Model Series Challenge night for the Summit Racing Equipment UMP Late Models. The make-up 25 lap mid-season championship feature for the late models that was rained out on June 16 will also be contested and double points will be awarded. The Fremont Fence 305 Sprints and dirt trucks will be in action as well.
The late model competitors are reminded a new UMP tire rule is in effect July 1 so this Friday’s event is the final to incorporate the old tire regulations. The new rule is LM 20s on all four corners of the car with a right rear option of LM 20, 30 or 40. There is also no grooving on the right rear tire (effective May 30) and no grooving of any tire after July 30. Tire siping is allowed however.
