#9 – Tim Westerfield Jr. Modified Feature

Opening Day at Midvale Speedway was a chance for a fresh start for every team that rolled in that day.  But unfortunately for many of the modified division teams, it would also be their first chance to fix some sheet metal.  Spins and hard racing led to contact and carnage, including two examples from Tim Westerfield Jr.’s Ride Along camera.  All drivers were OK in both incidents.

Rain Cancels 250 Opener, Attica

Leave a comment

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.
