TAZEWELL, TN (September 2, 2012)—With the threat of inclement weather coming in later today, Tazewell Speedway Owner Gary Hall has decided to postpone the Southern All Stars Dirt Racing Series-sanctioned Fourth Annual Buddy Rogers Memorial to next Saturday September 8th.
‘I hate to call one this early but with the weather forecast showing the way it is, rains coming in from around 7:00 pm until 9:00 pm plus folks coming from long ways we felt it best to cancel ahead of time to let everyone know’ stated track owner Gary Hall.
The Series will now race next Saturday for the second try at getting the Buddy Rogers Memorial event in at Tazewell Speedway, $4,400 to win for the SAS Late Models plus supporting divisions. This will start the stretch of three straight weeks of racing for the SAS Late Models who will now compete September 8th, 15th and 22nd. There will be a complete show of Practice, VP Racing Fuels Qualifying, Hoosier Racing Tire Last Chance Showdowns and the 44-lap main event which honors long time East Tennessee competitor Buddy Rogers. Support Classes will also be on hand for the event.
The pit gates open at 4:00 pm EST with the Grandstand Gates opening at 5:00 pm at Tazewell Speedway on September 8th. The driver’s meeting is slated for around 7:00 pm. Transponders will be available for rental and are required for competition as well as RaceCeiver’s.
