39th Annual DIRTcar Winternationals Postponed Until February 3rd due to Rain

 

Barberville, FL (February 2, 2010)  Volusia Speedway Park has had to cancel the first night of the 39th Annual DIRTcar Winternationals presented by University of Northwestern Ohio due to rain.  Mother Nature decided to open up the bucket and has dumped too much water on Volusia to hold tonight’s events.

 

“We are really disappointed,” said General Manager Tonya Moschell.  “The track would probably be okay but the rest of Volusia is a mess.  We are definitely soaked right now, too soaked to race tonight.  The weather forecast says 80% chance of rain for the rest of the day and that does not help at all either.  Tomorrow’s forecast is for NO RAIN but partly cloudy skies and a high of 67 and low of 50.  So be sure to bring a jacket tomorrow evening but all systems are GO for a Wednesday night start.”

 The 39th Annual DIRTcar Winternationals will open Wednesday, February 3rd, with the All Star Circuit of Champion Sprint Cars and the DIRTcar UMP Open Wheel Modifieds.  Pit gate will open at noon with grandstands opening at 5 pm.  Racing begins at 7:30 pm.

The 39th Annual Florida DIRTcar Nationals by University of Northwestern Ohio kicks off on February 3rd, due to rainout on the 2nd, and will run through February 13. DIRTcar Winternationals features the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series (February 5-7), along with the World of Outlaws Late Model Series (Feb. 11 & 13), the Super DIRTcar Series (Feb. 10-13), the All Star Circuit of Champions (Feb. 3-4), UMP DIRTcar Late Models (Feb. 8, 9, 10, & 12) and UMP DIRTcar Modifieds (Feb. 3-9).
