CANCELLED: Toledo Speedway June 19 Race Event
CANCELLED: Toledo Speedway June 19 Race Event
"We have race teams coming from 2-3 hours away, from Grand Rapids, Flint, Canada and Indiana, not to mention the fans," said Scott Schultz, General Manager. "We have already sat through 2 rain delays on back to back Fridays in May, after we started the shows. We are going to assume the weatherman is correct in this forecast for tonight in the Toledo area," added Schultz. "We can't win either way, but we can save our fans and teams time and money by making this call early in the day. And with the current economic crisis we are all dealing with and the forecast, we felt it was best to cancel the show." The Friday evening forecast included heavy rain, thunderstorms, wind and possible hail.
A make-up date for the 75 lap Hantz Group/Allegiant Air Late Model event is yet to be determined. An announcement regarding a possible date will be made soon. The June 19 show, sponsored by Speedway Tire and Auto, was to have also included the ARCA Factory Stocks and 4 Cylinders.
