by VSP Media BARBERVILLE, FL- Although everyone connected with Volusia Speedway Park was wishing hard for good weather for Saturday night, nature failed to pay attention and peppered the area with multiple showers and thunderstorms throughout the day. And after the speedway was hit with the second round of rain at about 3PM in the afternoon, race officials decided that to attempt to race was only asking for trouble. There were too many storms on radar with high potential of hitting the track, and the surface was already on the verge of being too wet to salvage anyway.
So with the postponement of racing announced, VSP management immediately began working on schedule changes in order to make up at least some of the rained out events. No decision has been announced for making up the 3rd Annual Wiener Nationals dog races, but the $1000 to win Taylor Racing Products Sportsman race will be made up on September 18th. That night will feature the $1000 to win race, plus the Top Gun Sprint Car Series, and Volusia’s own Budweiser Modifieds and Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks.
According to VSP management, more adaptations to the previously posted racing schedule will be made as circumstances warrant, so racers and fans should be sure to double check the schedule posted at www.VolusiaSpeedwayPark.net for changes as those become finalized. VSP Media will also announce changes to the racing schedule on an “as needed” basis.
Volusia Speedway Park will be back in action on Saturday, August 14th with “Back To School Night” and five divisions of exciting racing competition. Fans will see the Daytona Dodge Chrysler Jeep Late Models, the Budweiser Modifieds, the Taylor Racing Products Sportsman Division, the Amsoil Thunder Stocks, plus the 4 Cylinder Challengers.
