Weather Cancels Dirt Racing

Leave a comment

Due to the damp, cold weather and rain across the region, racing has been cancelled at dirt tracks this weekend.  Attica, Sharon, Fremont, and Wayne County Speedway have all cancelled racing due to track flooding and poor parking lot conditions.

For most of the tracks, weekly racing will resume next week.  Wayne County Speedway was scheduled to host the World of Outlaw Late Models this weekend, but has announced the visit has been postponed to a later date.  The series will return to kick off Memorial Day Weekend on May 24th.

Columbus Motor Speedway is still scheduled to race tonight.
