IT'S TIME TO RACE!!

September 27, 2009 Volusia Forced to Cancel All Racing September 26th VSP MEDIA Barberville, FL (Septemer 26, 2009) Ninety seven cars filled the pits at Volusia Speedway Park for the final night of the 2009 points race season. Hopes were high for those leading the points, fans were ready to see some great dirt track racing and then it started. At first only a mist and then big raindrops cancelling the show for the night. "I really, really wanted to get this race in," said General Manager Tonya Moscheel with a very disheartening look on her face. "The radar looked like we would miss the worse part but obviously radar's don't always know either. We had just finished preparing the track for the night when the mist came and came and came. Finally, I knew it was too wet and would have taken hours and hours to prepare the track so we were forced to call the evening's events." The final points night for the 2009 race season now has been moved to next Saturday, October 2nd, replacing the "Gotta Chance Night". "We were closed on October 17 originally," said Moschell for Bike Octoberfest but we will now run the "Gotta Chance Night" that night". "Gotta Chance Night" is open to all Modifieds, Sportsman, Street Stocks, Thunder Stocks, Mini Stocks and 4 Cylinder Challengers drivers who HAVE NOT won a race this year at Volusia. This is the night that fans will definitely see new faces in Victory Lane. Presented by the Volusia County Fair Dirtoberfest will run on October 8th thru 10th at Volusia. Thursday night, October 8th, will be open practice night for all divisions. Friday, October 9th, it will be qualifying plus an Octoberfest Party and full programs for Thunder Stocks and 4 Cylinder Challengers. On Saturday, October 10th, there will be a pancake breakfast, Racer Swap Meet and lots and lots of racing. PLUS there will be FREE camping for the three day event. The Pancake Breakfast will be from 9 am to 11 am with the Swap Meet from 11 am to 2 pm. Late Models will run for $2500 to win with Sportsman and Modifieds going for $1500 to win.
