Ironman Will Run Separately Ahead of ‘Spring Classic’ Oct. 13 at I-55
Tickets for Completion of Storm-Delayed 55-Lap Feature to be Honored as Event will Run Independent of Full Nightcap program
PEVELY, Mo. – Aug. 8, 2012 – World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series and Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 officials, in conjunction with the track crew, have developed a plan to complete the Federated Auto Parts Ironman 55 as a separate event on Oct. 13, honoring tickets from Saturday night’s event that was shortened by severe weather.
With World of Outlaws Sprint Cars staged Saturday night on the high-banked, one-third-mile oval, authorities alerted track officials to impending severe weather. The event was quickly postponed to ensure fans would have time to find safety ahead of the storm.
The 55-lap feature event was postponed to Saturday, Oct. 13, and will run on the same day as the “Spring Classic” that was rain-delayed from its originally scheduled date in April. The Federated Auto Parts Ironman 55 will run as a stand-alone program at 3 p.m. and the grandstands will be cleared and reopen for the evening’s full “Spring Classic” make-up program, which also includes DIRTcar UMP Modifieds.
