2016news_6-4UNION, KY (June 4, 2016) – Saturday night’s Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series-sanctioned, 30th Annual Ralph Latham Memorial at Florence Speedway has been postponed. A heavy late-afternoon thunderstorm and the forecast for continued rain through the evening forced Speedway and Series officials postpone the event.

The Ralph Latham Memorial will now take place on Thursday, August 11th – leading into one of the biggest weekends of the 2016 dirt late model season. The $30,000-to-win event will precede the Sunoco Race Fuels North/South 100 weekend. Friday night’s action will include double Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Heat Races, followed by B-Mains and the $50,000-to-win North/South 100 main event.
