Weekend Calendar: May 15th – 17th

Highlight of the racing weekend is the ARCA Racing Series making its annual visit to Toledo Speedway.  The ARCA Truck Series races Saturday, then the Menards 200 runs Sunday.  Discount tickets are available at participating Menards stores.

I will be at Lake County Speedway for their weekly racing action, but everybody should get out to their local track and enjoy the beautiful weather that appears to have returned to Northeast Ohio.

Some things to note…Sandusky has re-scheduled both The Main Event Racing Series and MSA Supermodified races that were supposed to run last week.  The Main Event race has been moved to July 11th, while the Supermodifieds have moved to August 15th.

The Mansfield Grand Re-Opening scheduled for May 23rd has been postponed.  The Main Event Racing Series and MSA Supermodifieds will both announce new dates for Mansfield early next week.

I will also be adding Summit Motorsports Park, Thompson Raceway Park, and Championship Kart Racing Association dates to the calendar this weekend.

Rain Cancels 250 Opener, Attica

Constant rain and a forecast that called for an increasing chance of further rain ended the night early for a pair of Northeast Ohio dirt tracks.

Rt. 250 Speedway near Cadiz was scheduled to host its season opener tonight, which was originally scheduled for April 18th.  Now the track will wait until May 2nd to fire up engines and race.

Attica Raceway Park waited a bit longer to call racing, but the result was the same.  Attica opened on April 11th, and was set to host weekly racing action with FAST 410 Sprints, 305 Sprints, and UMP Late Models.  The track will try again on May 2nd, with racing scheduled to include the first race of the Attica/Wayne County Late Model Challenge.
